1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station. Are we sure they

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: have nothing else to say? On the Kentucky post game show?

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Are we sure? Hi? Moeger, ESPN fifteen thirty five, toll four,

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. There's a ton

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: going on today, and this is one of those days

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: where I wish we had like six hours. We're only

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: basically gonna have two, But that's okay. We'll make the

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: most of it. Kelsey Conway is going to join us

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: at four twenty on the Bengals in free agency and

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: to see if Duke Tobin and the personnel staff at

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: the venue formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium is on vacation.

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Maybe everybody's out watching college basketball today. It feels like

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: that's what everybody here is doing. Let's start with that. Obviously,

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: you just heard it from Nashville. Kentucky pulls away ish

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: laid against LSU, knockoff the Tigers eighty seven to eighty two.

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: The Wildcats will take on Missouri tomorrow, another daytime game,

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: another twelve thirty tip on ESPN. In fifteen thirty, the

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Wildcats advanced to the second round in Nashville. Meanwhile, the

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Bearcats are playing right now, and I thought for the

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: most part yesterday I maintained my composure today is it's

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: still an elimination game. If the Bearcats lose today, it's

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I think impossible for all of us to imagine this

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: team having its name called on Sunday. If they win

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: this game, I think the prevailing sentiment is still going

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: to be that they need another one and they'll have

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: a golden opportunity against Arizona tomorrow if they win this game.

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: If they win this game, though, and lose, I think

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: it would be interesting. There's lots of other games we're

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: paying attention to right now. Cincinnati Bearcats got off to

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: an eleven to two start. You see Leeds, you see

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: have twenty one to twenty. This has been a sloppy game.

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: The Knights are shooting thirty one percent. The Bearcats are

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: shooting thirty two percent. The turnovers are starting to mount

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati seven so far. With just over four minutes

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: to go, you see is up a point. The biggest

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: game easily of the West Miller Era, slightly bigger, I

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: guess than yesterday. So we're monitoring that we've got some

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: college basketball to get to next hour with our friend

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Rick Brooring Musketeer Report dot Com also color analysts for

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: the NK you broadcast, and we'll kind of put a

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: bow on NKU season. We'll look ahead to tonight though

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: Madison Square, Garden, Xavier, and Marquette. I have not seen

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: Trey Carroll's name on the Big East Availability Report. Will

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: get a sense from Rick as to whether or not

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Trey could go and how they could beat Marquette, either

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: with or without him, and see if he would give

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the Musketeers a chance if they would advance to round

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: two where they would play Yukon. I mentioned on top

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: of area teams playing, there are a handful of games

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: that if you're a Cincinnati fan you're probably playing. Paying

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: a close attention to. One of them involves SMU. SMU

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: won its game yesterday. They're playing today against Louisville in

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the tournament. That game is very early in the second half.

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a one point lead. And I'm not

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: going to take any bracketologists projections as gospel. I think

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: that sometimes gets lost here. Like whatever these bracketologists are

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: putting out there, whether it's our guy Hunter Sansom or

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: the world renowned Joe Lonardi, they're just opinions. They're just projections.

59
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: But you look at some common themes teams around the bubble,

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: teams on the bubble, teams listed as last four in,

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: teams listed as last four out, so you see SMU.

62
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: They're playing tonight. Indiana plays this evening against Northwestern, which

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: won its first round game in the Big Ten Tournament.

64
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Auburn is playing right now, and I think this is

65
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: a really interesting team because they're sixteen and fifteen, and

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: obviously they've been at the kind of the they've been

67
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: a part of the Miami debate because of Bruce Pearl's comments.

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Auburn's sixteen and fifteen with a seven and eleven record

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: in the SEC. The Tigers are still, according to some bracketology,

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: justs a tournament team. And if ever there's been an

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: argument for not expanding the tournament, and there are many,

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's the candidacy of this year's Auburn team. The

73
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Tigers are taking on Mississippi State under four minute time

74
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: out in Nashville. It is twenty eight to twenty two

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: in favor of Mississippi State, so Auburn is down by

76
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: six points. If you're a UC fan, you're paying attention

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: to Cal tonight the Golden Bears take on Florida State.

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: You're paying attention to Oklahoma tonight as the Sooners take

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: on South Carolina, so we'll keep an eye on the

80
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: bear Cat game. I'll try to maintain my composure. We've

81
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: got the Reds in action today. We've got more on

82
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Green, including one of our experts from Ortho Sinsey,

83
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: doctor Jonathan Slaughter, on the procedure that he's having and

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: what's next, not just in the coming weeks, but maybe

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: over the course of the next couple of years. Trey

86
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Hendrickson is a Baltimore Raven and you know what I

87
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: like it. I like that a lot. And chances are

88
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: you're not wired like me. But if you're a Bengals fan,

89
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe I can bring you over to my side and

90
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe between now and six o'clock the Bengals find a

91
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: linebacker so they don't have to rush out there. Demetrius

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: Knight and Barrett Carter as sophomore starters Week one of

93
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six season. All that ahead, four o'clock,

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: Now do you write two lanes are blocked from an

96
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: accident up to a ten minute delay from Smith Edwards

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: westbound seventy four after Montana Avenue accident on the left shoulder.

98
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: He's found two seventy five traffic stopped from Graves Road

99
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: to Dixie Highway for President Trump's visit. I'm Medi Zelek

100
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: with Traffic Team thirty, Cincinnati's Sports.

101
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. It's five after four. This

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: is ESPN fifteen thirty. Now the show, Kenny really begin, Mulgar,

103
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. U S is

104
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: up twenty seven to twenty four, or Dave Thomas three

105
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: pointer from the corner is no good? One forty to

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: go before halftime. Bearcats an elimination game for Cincinnati. Kelsey

107
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: Conway is gonna join us in fifteen minutes. Kelsey is

108
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: as big of a Bearcat fan as any of us,

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna pull her away from the game

110
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about the Bengals search for a linebacker,

111
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the Trey Hendrickson story, and the Baltimore Ravens backing out

112
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: of that Max Crosby deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

113
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: That's the biggest story in the NFL right now. And

114
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: you could certainly understand why. It's interesting. It's chaotic, it's dubious,

115
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of skepticism. There's lots of ripple effects

116
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: to the Trey Hendrickson thing, to the Max Crosby thing,

117
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: to the Ravens and Raiders. But here, forget about Trey

118
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Hendrickson for a second. Who's going to play linebacker for

119
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals in twenty twenty six? Like as soon as

120
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: as soon as the euphoria, if you will, or as

121
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: soon as the dust settled on what the Bengals did

122
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: on Day one, which I think excited us all. Brian

123
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: cook boy a mafe like good signings, bold signings, the

124
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: sort of signings that felt like they were in line

125
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: with what we thought the Bengals were going to have

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: to do this off season and to a large degree,

127
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: what Duke Tobin said the Bengals were going to do

128
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: this off season. But the immediate question in the aftermath

129
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: of those two signings was what's next. We asked that

130
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: on Monday night. I asked it to Paul Danner Junior

131
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: on this show yesterday.

132
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: Everyone has been talking about that, We've been talking about

133
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: as sort of the thing. One of the things before

134
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: this started that you were most interested to see was okay,

135
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: But what's their view of linebacker going to be? And

136
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: I think we have felt like they were at least

137
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: they have expressed a desire to add a veteran in there.

138
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: But we've now seen a lot of the linebackers come

139
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: off of the board.

140
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, using your thing from last week as a guide,

141
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: I've got more names crossed off than I do available,

142
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: no doubt, but the top two are still available.

143
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Yes, And so I think there is a lot more

144
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: heat across the league on Caden Ellis right now than

145
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: there is on Leoshanal. So if that, you know, one

146
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: price is going up and I don't think the other

147
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: one is at this point, so that probably that's probably

148
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: more likely. But I that's in the they're working on.

149
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: They're working on that position certainly, but that to me,

150
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: it's not the only one. Yeah, I mean, I think

151
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: that's the one that's in focus. But and I do

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: think that that list has been paired down channel We've

153
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: just said it. He just feels like the perfect fit.

154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: So if they can find a way to get that done,

155
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: I think that's that feels like you'll feel so good

156
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: to me. That's the one that I think if you

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: hit that, you you check that box and you bring

158
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: in him, it feels like, Okay, you did it.

159
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Like there's other things.

160
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: The rest of it is, you're always going to have

161
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: a rest of it that is putting pieces together that

162
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: you need to find a couple of diamonds in the

163
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 3: rough or bargain players. That's always going to be a

164
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: part of this. But the big boxes you needed to

165
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: check that you probably needed to spend on. That's the

166
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: last one that I have unchecked.

167
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: All right, So that's Paul Danner Junior. Just about twenty

168
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: four hours ago. You could hear the entire conversation on

169
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Twenty four hours later, Well, Leo Chanal

170
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: is not coming, He's going to the Washington Commanders. Kaden

171
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Ellis reportedly the Bengals really didn't flirt with all that

172
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: mush much back in New Orleans. This after we've crossed

173
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: off the names to Mario Davis, Eric Wilson, Alex Singleton,

174
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: Alex Angeloni, Nakobe Dean, Devin Lloyd, Kwi Walker, Like, maybe

175
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: some of those names were at the top of your list,

176
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: and maybe some of those names were on your list.

177
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: Maybe some of those names were not on your list. Regardless,

178
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: none of those guys are coming to Cincinnati now. Bobby

179
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Wagner is still out there, and I don't know that

180
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: there's a We don't know that there's a ton of

181
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: reasons to be opposed to bringing Bobby Wagner in, But

182
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: there is one big one. It's the fact that he's

183
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old now certainly plays like a guy

184
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: who has gas in the tank and can provide a

185
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of the things we saw lacking from the Bengals

186
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: linebacker play last year, I think, namely reliability, and you

187
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: can come up with no one better for your two

188
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: young linebackers who struggled so much last year to attach

189
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: themselves to. But we're kind of getting thin here, Like

190
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, when folks are floating the name a Keen

191
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Davis Gate out there and Levante David who's also old,

192
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: and some of the names that we were not entertaining

193
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: or talking about all that much before free agency started,

194
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: it feels like, well, it feels like either the Bengals

195
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: have whiffed or it feels like the Bengals are not

196
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be able to get what I think we

197
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: all believed prior to the offseason and through much of

198
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: last year they desperately need. It feels like with each

199
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: passing minute there's an increased likelihood of Night and Carter

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: playing more than I think any of us would like.

201
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: There's maybe an increased sense that, you know what, the

202
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Bengals couldn't multitask. One thing they got credit for on Tuesday,

203
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: and we brought it up yesterday, was you know, they

204
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: were in on John Franklin Myers. He obviously goes to

205
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, and yet when that didn't work out,

206
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: that to not preclude him from the Bengals from getting

207
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: deals done with Brian Cook and boy A Mafey. But

208
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: now you can't help but wonder was this a little

209
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: bit too much for the Bengals to bite off Brian

210
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: Cook and Boye Mafey And let's just say Leoshanal was

211
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: attacking safety and edge and linebacker all pretty much at

212
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: precisely the same time. A little bit too much for

213
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals to do all at once. We don't know

214
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: the answers. Now you have to consider the recent history here,

215
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: like by ownership's own admission about a year ago. Yeah,

216
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: you know what, we were a little behind in free

217
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: agency because we were so tied up in the contract

218
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: extensions for Jamar Chason T Higgins. It's one of the

219
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: many reasons why those two deals should have been done

220
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: forever ago. They could multitask now. Maybe this ultimately has

221
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: a fix, right, Maybe there is somebody in free agency

222
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: they signed that is an ideal fit. Maybe it doesn't

223
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: cost all that much. Maybe it's a Keen Davis Gaither.

224
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it is Bobby Wagner. Maybe it's somebody that we're

225
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: not even thinking about. Maybe Duke Tobin has a trick

226
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: up his sleeve that we are not even close to anticipating.

227
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he's playing chess and everybody else is playing checkers.

228
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: Maybe in the draft there's a transformative linebacker that is

229
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: a rookie. The two guys who were rookies last year

230
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: can learn from. I don't know. You certainly don't have

231
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: to add players the first couple of days of the

232
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: free agency cycle in order to obtain good free agents.

233
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: That said, you watched the Bengals last year. We watched them.

234
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: We saw the linebacker play. It stunk like for lack

235
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: of a better way of putting it, and I don't

236
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: think anybody is saying that the Bengals should completely give

237
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: up on Carter and Night. I don't know that anybody

238
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: is saying that neither guy could play for the team

239
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: this year. I don't know that anybody is saying that

240
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: neither guy could start for the Bengals Week one. But

241
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: I think as last season unfolded, and even as recently

242
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: as yesterday, folks close to the team, who cover the team,

243
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: who watched the team last year all agreed, like, hey

244
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: man went and got the safety, went and got the edge.

245
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: But you know what need the linebacker. It is an

246
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: important position. It is a position of desperate need. Well,

247
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: so far, what they have done and what they have

248
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: gotten doesn't match desperate need. And so lots of questions,

249
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: namely who's gonna play linebacker and who else is out

250
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: there that they could get and that would make sense

251
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: for them, and that would make sense for them and

252
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: get and actually provide an upgrade. I hope we're not

253
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: asking this question tomorrow. The sad thing is we were

254
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: asking this question yesterday thirteen minutes after four o'clock. The

255
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson thing, like, there's there's lots of tentacles to

256
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: this and large ripple effects, and you know, there's the

257
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: mechanics of the Max Crosby thing and how that fell.

258
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Apart as it relates to us here, I am probably

259
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: in the minority, but I kind of like Trey Hendrickson

260
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: going to the Baltimore Ravens, and there's like the part

261
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: of me that just loves absurdity and humor. And for

262
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: reasons that I'm not entirely sure I ca I totally articulate,

263
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson just makes me laugh because that ordeal, which

264
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: took forever and is seemingly sort of still ongoing, took

265
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: so many twists and turns that it was just it

266
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: was funny. And so Trey Hendrickson to me is funny.

267
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: But as a villain, as a as a Bengals character,

268
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson playing for the Baltimore Ravens is a lot

269
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: of fun. And you know me, I love fun. Fourteen

270
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: minutes after four o'clock, it's halftime in Kansas City. Cincinnati

271
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: has a one point lead twenty seven to twenty six.

272
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: Bearcats have been really good from behind the Arc six

273
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: of twelve. Cincinnati ain't making their twos no no, no,

274
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: huge inside presence so far for the Bearcats, although Mustapha

275
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Cham has had a quality half eleven and seven did

276
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: make both of his three point shots. You see is

277
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: three of seventeen from inside the arc, and they were

278
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: awful at the free throw line yesterday, only six attempts,

279
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: but they have made just three ucf is, shooting a

280
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: thirty two percent. The Bearheads have defended, they have been

281
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: at times sloppy on the offensive end. Eight turnovers. Here's

282
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: here's my halftime prediction. Are you ready send this to

283
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: Dan and Terry. If the turnover number is five or

284
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: less in the second half, you see, will win. If

285
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: the turnover number is larger than five, you see, will lose.

286
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: There's sort of a World Baseball Classic tiebreaker element to

287
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: what I just said, which we've got to spend a

288
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: few minutes on that a little bit later on lots

289
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: of ground to cover. By the way, you can tweak

309
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: accident after playing Field. Twenty minute delay northbound on seventy

310
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: one from Smith Edwards to Kenwood at Ezelk with traffic.

311
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: This report is sponsored by Red Mullager. You are about

312
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: to listen to a conversation between two total pros. Because

313
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: our favorite college basketball team is playing right now in

314
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: a huge game, a game that could help them take

315
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: a major step towards the NCAA tournament, and yet very gamely,

316
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the Cincinnati Bengals, which

317
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: is that that's the team that Kelsey Conway covers for

318
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: The Inquirer and Cincinnati dot Com and she's actually providing

319
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: news while this game is happening right now. I just

320
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: retweeted her on Twitter. She's with us now. Hi, Kelsey,

321
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: Hey Mo, how you doing. I'm well, do you want

322
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: to play linebacker for the Bengals?

323
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 5: Oh? No, No I don't. But you know, I wish

324
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: I had better news hopping on this call. And you know,

325
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 5: I thought about when I put out some of my

326
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 5: stuff on X, like purfasing it by saying, like Bengals

327
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 5: fans like, don't kill the messenger, because unfortunately, I just

328
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 5: head back to back X posts that I'm gonna put

329
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: together in a notebooks he'll be available on Cincinnati dot

330
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 5: Com about who the Bengals aren't interested in. And so

331
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 5: I tried to comb through what's left of the positions

332
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: that they need people at and see what I could find,

333
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: and didn't find a lot of great news, so we

334
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 5: can get into it on this show. But yeah, it's

335
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 5: been it's been a hard day to figure out exactly

336
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 5: what the Bengals plan has been since day one. So

337
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 5: I know we'll get into it and you can ask

338
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 5: me all your questions.

339
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 6: But I just wanted to bring that up at the

340
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 6: top of my appearance on this show.

341
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: So you could not have me. No, no, well, let's

342
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: let's let's sort of backtrack a little bit here, because

343
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: you put this on social media. This is before four o'clock.

344
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: League year is now underway. You wrote, we're thirty minutes

345
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: away from the new league year, and the Bengals have

346
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: added two players during the legal tampering period, Boye Mafe

347
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: and Brian Cook, and as you wrote, there's still time

348
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: to add players. I thought the Bengals would have added

349
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: more by now. If if you would have told me

350
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: on Monday afternoon about four o'clock, once we saw who

351
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: they had signed, I think I think most of us

352
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: would have been surprised, and most of what have said.

353
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: Most of us would have said it's unlikely that forty

354
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: eight hours later, those are still the only two names.

355
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: I think most would agree, and so I guess the

356
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: question is what has happened since Monday afternoon. That leaves

357
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: those two guys who agreed to terms on Monday as

358
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: the two most recent guys who have agreed to terms

359
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: with the Bengals.

360
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, and I say that because usually you

361
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 5: hear like, okay, they were in the mix, they were

362
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 5: a finalist. So then from those clues you can kind

363
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: of put together like, Okay, here's who they were in on.

364
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 5: I've made a number of calls also been following some

365
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: of the reports from other prospects, and I have not

366
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 5: gotten any sense of who they have really targeted that

367
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: they've missed out on. So there's been conflicting reports, you

368
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 5: know about Devin Lloyd, and it seemed every like everybody

369
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 5: wanted to believe that the Bengals were in on that,

370
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 5: and then that came out and wasn't you know true.

371
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: But let me just run through some names for you

372
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 5: that I can tell you that they haven't been in on.

373
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 5: And that's where I don't know what their plan has been.

374
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: They were not in on Kaden Ellis, they were not

375
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 5: in on I just posted this, but Arnold Uber Katie,

376
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 5: they weren't in on him. They weren't in on Kay Love,

377
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: on Chase, on they and you know, I'll talk about

378
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 5: another one that I just posted, but specific to that position, Like,

379
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 5: they weren't in on any of those guys. Those were

380
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 5: all guys that I thought that they could put together,

381
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 5: you know, a contract that would be in line with

382
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: what the bangals like to do in free agency. So

383
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 5: for them to have not even been a finalist or

384
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 5: in on those guys, I'm having a hard time connecting

385
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 5: the dots as far as who they were targeting and

386
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: what their plan is. I know they were targeting Boy Mafe,

387
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 5: they were successful in getting that done. They were clearly

388
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 5: targeting Brian Cookie were successful in getting that done. As

389
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: far as who else they were targeting, I haven't been

390
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: an to get a nail on that because some of

391
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 5: these guys that seem like logical fits at the positions

392
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 5: that they need, they haven't either been in the mixed owner,

393
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 5: they haven't been a finalist. So I'm struggling to figure

394
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 5: out what their plan after Boy Mafe and Brian Cook

395
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: has been is their.

396
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: Plan thirty seven year old Bobby Wagner.

397
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: I have a hard time believing that that's their plan.

398
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 5: I mean, you know how it is with the Bengals

399
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 5: with people you know up in the age category. So

400
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: I think it's a matter of a matter of they

401
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 5: truly must believe that they have their their groups that

402
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 5: they have. They're buying the growth that they saw in

403
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 5: the in the second half of the season. But what

404
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 5: they said is the combine to us Al Golden telling us,

405
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: you know, we need a Sam linebacker. We know we

406
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 5: asked me tres I to do stuff that he's probably

407
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 5: not good enough at. We need to put him in.

408
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 6: A position to succeed.

409
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: So where's your Sam linebacker? That's where I started with

410
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 5: making making calls for players that would fit back. They

411
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: were not a finalist for any of those players that

412
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 5: I just mentioned. Okay, so what happens there. The other

413
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 5: position that I'm almost like perplexed that they haven't moved

414
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: on is defensive cackle and and so I saw bubbling

415
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 5: up on social media, you know, Bengals fans asking after

416
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 5: a report came out from Pro Football Talk that Dallas

417
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odgizua, you know, could potentially be

418
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: up for trade because the Cowboys have added to that position.

419
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: And so I made some calls around the league, and

420
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: the Bengals haven't shown any interest as far as his

421
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: side talking to his side, So it's not coming via

422
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 5: a trade right now. I mean, there could be one

423
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 5: in the works that they're keeping completely hush hush, but

424
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 5: people other teams aren't in the mix of giving away.

425
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: They're either one or top two d tackles, especially in

426
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 5: a year where the free agency crop wasn't great and

427
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 5: the draft crop isn't great. So that's another one where

428
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 5: I'm struggling to figure out, like, Okay, if they're not

429
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 5: going to sign one of these guys in free agency,

430
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 5: are they going to try and trade for a guy

431
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 5: who's currently on another team. Well, one of the most

432
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: logical fits to me would have been Osa, and they're

433
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 5: not headed in that direction. So long story short, I

434
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 5: don't know what their plan is after Day one.

435
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: It feels like specifically to those two positions, and I think,

436
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: frankly a little bit more so linebacker, just because I

437
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: think there were more names out there that seem to

438
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: fit what they should be looking for. It feels like

439
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: last year. It feels like last year for the entire defense,

440
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: it was well, you know, toward the end of the season,

441
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: we won those games, and yeah, you could say we've

442
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: feasted on bad quarterbacks, but we did just enough to

443
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: essentially bring all those dudes back, and then we saw

444
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: what the results were, and so I think in the

445
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: back of any fan's mind has to be that. And

446
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: then you think ahead to this coming season, and it's like,

447
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: are they really going to go into this season with

448
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: Carter and Knight playing these significant roles that they were

449
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: forced to play in last year? Like, are is it

450
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: really gonna be bj Hill and Chris Jenkins and guys

451
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: who were on the team last year. I saw that

452
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: movie before, and yeah, man, they upgraded its safety and

453
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I think they're They're okay on the edge, just especially

454
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: if Miles Murphy ends up continuing his ascension. But I

455
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: think the frustrating thing for me you talk about plan,

456
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: it feels like last year's plan specific so far at

457
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: least to detackle on linebacker. I hope that changes. I'm

458
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: fearful that it won't.

459
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 5: I can completely see why you're saying that, and I'm

460
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 5: thinking the same thing where I think it's different than

461
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: it was last year is that they finally admitted they

462
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 5: needed a real guy at safety. At least they did that, right, Okay,

463
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 5: so at least they acknowledged that they weren't good enough

464
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 5: at that position. But what I look at day one

465
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 5: is those guys were signed to replace guys that left.

466
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: So I'm not saying that the Bengals are better yet

467
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 5: because they signed Brian Cook and Boye Mafe because keep

468
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: in mind, you're not just replacing Trey Hendrickson's production. You're

469
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 5: also replacing josepho size production. Those are two guys that

470
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 5: gave you a lot off the edge. So really, Boye

471
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 5: Mafe is just a piece of how you replace that

472
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 5: production and you hope it works and then safety you

473
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 5: upgrade it there. But the Bengals defense right now is

474
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 5: not a better unit than it was when it ended

475
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 5: the season. And that's where I'm perplexed because you see

476
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: teams like the Washington Commanders who made it a point

477
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 5: after a bad year on defense, we are going to

478
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: fix this, and they went out and they addressed it completely,

479
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: made over their defensive line, you know, with Odafeoway going there, Klevon,

480
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 5: Chase on and then adding Leoshanal like they had a

481
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 5: clear plan and they executed it. And I thought that

482
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 5: the Bengals were going to do that, and they did it.

483
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: And you know, of course there's still time. You know

484
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: that you can't the Bengals are playing a game on Sunday,

485
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: but they're really missing the window on some players. And

486
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 5: just to your point about the linebackers, nobody was saying

487
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: that the Bengals needed to go out.

488
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 6: And sign a mic linebacker to take over for Barrett Carter.

489
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 5: What everybody was hoping for was that they would bring

490
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 5: in a leader who has experienced that can push those

491
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 5: guys along. And is it not like the best case

492
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 5: scenario to have real competition in training camp at linebacker?

493
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 5: And that to me is where I I'm totally just perplexed.

494
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: And I hear you that it sounds a lot like

495
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 5: last year. And for Duke to Oven to go up

496
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 5: to the podium and say, you know, we have the resources,

497
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 5: the ban will set themselves up for their fans to

498
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 5: be upset in a way with that statement because they

499
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 5: haven't backed it up.

500
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Can they not multitask? And the reason I bring this

501
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: up was by their own admission last year from ownership.

502
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: You were there at the owners meetings, Hey, you know

503
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: we were kind of locked into getting Jamar and t done,

504
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: and that kind of precluded us from devoting all the

505
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: attention and resources we would have liked to free agency.

506
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was an incredibly lame excuse, but the

507
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: message was we couldn't multitask. Can they not multitask and

508
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: go try to get the guys they got on Tuesday,

509
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry on Monday and even the players they tried

510
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: for but didn't get on Monday, all the while reach

511
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: out to and negotiate with players at other positions who

512
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: have signed with other teams.

513
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 5: So there, there's my response that is going to be

514
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit twofold here. Keep in

515
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 5: mind this, and I'm not going to get.

516
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: Into specifics, but I think this is an important piece

517
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 6: of information for Bengals.

518
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 5: Fans to keep in mind. Free agency is very much

519
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 5: a one team can show interest in that player. The

520
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 5: bad player and his representation have to want to be

521
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: in Cincinnati, they have to want to negotiate with the Bengals.

522
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 5: They have to want their player to be there. The

523
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 5: Bengals have had history with some agents that represent a

524
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 5: lot of players, and that comes in the factor here

525
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 5: in free agency, because the player gets to choose so

526
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: if the Bengals were up against another team and that

527
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 5: agent of that player has had bad negotiations with the Bengals, like,

528
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: let's not forget that, that could maybe come into the conversation.

529
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 5: So that's an important piece of information. Don't think that

530
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 5: the Bengals reputations somehow, some way finds it finds its

531
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 5: way into free agency at times with specific agents. Also,

532
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 5: the other part of what you're saying is can they

533
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 5: not multitask? That's where the constant questions about the scouting

534
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: staff come into play, because if you can't have a

535
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: big enough scouting staff where they can handle many of

536
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: these things going on right now, like they're trying to book,

537
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: like when they're doing the pro days, they're trying to

538
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 5: do draft stuff while they're doing like, there's a lot

539
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: going on. But you don't help yourself get rid of

540
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 5: those questions about the size of your scouting staff when

541
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 5: it seems like they can't operate and do multiple things

542
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 5: at a high level at one time. And so I

543
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: think that's going to continue to be a question when

544
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: when you ask questions like can they not multitask? Well,

545
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 5: then having a really small staff doesn't help in situations

546
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: like this. But I think based off of what I

547
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: know about the Bengals and what they thought going into

548
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: free agency, I said, I said it, you know a

549
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: number of times, temper your expectations because the Bengals didn't

550
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: think the defensive crop at some of the positions that

551
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: they needed was as good as the outside did. And

552
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 5: I know that's frustrating for fans to hear. And you

553
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: can say, well, they'd at least be better than what

554
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: they had. Sure, definitely, but the Bengals. The Bengals didn't

555
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: have high enough grades on a lot of these players,

556
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: and that's why clearly you thought them not being the

557
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 5: mix for some of these guys that you could say

558
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 5: they need. So I think there's a lot there as

559
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 5: far as how the Bengals ended up where they are

560
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: right now, and that is with just two new players

561
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 5: when they probably needed about four to five new starters

562
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: on defense right now.

563
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: One more Kelsey Conway from The Inquirer and Cincinnati dot Com,

564
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: where she, by the way, takes your mail bag question.

565
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: She is also on Twitter at Kelsey L. Conway. What

566
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: is your overarching takeaway from Trey hendrickson joining the Baltimore

567
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: Ravens and the route that was taken for him to

568
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: get there.

569
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 5: I think it's coomical that, you know, of course Trey

570
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: Hendrickson is gonna end up with the team in the division,

571
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 5: and it'd be a new storyline, you know. No, I

572
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 5: actually think he signed well, I don't know if it's

573
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 5: official yet, but he went to the Ravens just so

574
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 5: that two week a year you continue to talk about him,

575
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: since I know how much he loved to talk about

576
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 5: Trey Henderson.

577
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 7: But on a more serious note, I was on a

578
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 7: Baltimore podcast this morning and they asked, like, what was

579
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 7: the reaction from Bengals players about.

580
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 5: Trey going to the to the Ravens. And what I

581
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 5: thought was the most interesting thing is as I actually

582
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 5: talked to a Bengals player this morning and I asked,

583
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: and it wasn't that they're fearful of Tray being in

584
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 5: the division. It was more of a relief that they

585
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 5: don't have to go up against Max Crosby and that

586
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 5: he's not going to be in the division. So I

587
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: thought that was really interesting about the whole situation. But

588
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 5: I think it unfolded perfectly for Trey. I thought it

589
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 5: was very interesting that he waited it out, and I

590
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 5: thought him waiting it out might not work in his favor.

591
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 5: But it always felt like Trey was going to end

592
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: up going to a team that's legit, you know, trying

593
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: to win a Super Bowl. I didn't see him going

594
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 5: to a team that was, you know, kind of in

595
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 5: a rebuild mode. So it went basically how I expected

596
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: it when it was he was going to wait it

597
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 5: out because he didn't feel that the teams were meeting

598
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 5: his value. You know, Trey, I'll tray the entire time

599
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: with the Bangles, thought he was in the upper echelon of.

600
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 6: Edge rushers, and the league told you.

601
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: This past week, you know, they didn't view him how

602
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 5: he viewed himself. But it ended up working out for Trey.

603
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 5: And it'll certainly be interesting because I covered a lot

604
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 5: of training camp reps of Trey and Orlando going at

605
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 5: it with each other, and it's going to be fascinating

606
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 5: to see the Bengals knowing, like what his weaknesses are

607
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 5: vice versa Trey knowing you know, how to beat Orlando Brown. Like,

608
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 5: the storylines are going to be really interesting there.

609
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm excited because I'm a fan of

610
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: interesting and fun and Trey Hendrickson playing against the Bengals

611
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: twice years. Interesting and fun. By the way, we're winning

612
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: the game thirty four to thirty one, so I think

613
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: we're plus two. Since you jumped on the phone with me,

614
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: you've been good luck. I know you have a lot

615
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: going on. I'll let you run.

672
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: You know who's not dumb, our friend Rick Brooring from

673
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: Musketeer Report dot com. By the way, because Tarn wants

674
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: to do this yesterday, I was composed, but he wants

675
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: to broadcast this live on Twitter, so if something crazy

676
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: happens in the UC game, you could see my reaction.

677
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: So you could watch this show right now on Twitter

678
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: at Moeger. And because we're bringing in Rick Browing an

679
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: hour later than usual, you can actually watch this conversation

680
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: as Rick, Rick and I talk on zoom. This is

681
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: this is really exciting. We're really leaning into technology today.

682
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: By the way, this on the heels of Charlie Goldsmith's

683
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: cell phone from nineteen ninety seven that he used yesterday. Hi, Rick,

684
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: what's up? MAO H A lot a lot? How about yourself?

685
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was just watching the Bearcats very good.

686
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna watch the Musketeers tonight. Is Trey Carroll gonna play? Well?

687
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 8: The injury report just came out from the Big East

688
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 8: and he is not on it. So that would lead

689
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 8: everyone to believe that he is available in what role?

690
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 8: How close to one hundred percent is he going to be?

691
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 8: We don't know, but it sounds like he's gonna give

692
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 8: it a go.

693
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: All right good. I think of the first Marquette game,

694
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Xavier got crushed on the glass and they turned the

695
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: ball over a lot. I think of the second Marquette game,

696
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: they were better on the glass and they took better

697
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: care of the ball. Is that what tonight comes down to?

698
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 2: That?

699
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 8: And shooting the three point shot? I mean the second game,

700
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 8: that was the other big part of it. I mean,

701
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 8: they were just bombs away. They made sixteen threes in

702
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 8: that game, and when they make twelve or more threes

703
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 8: this year, they're seven to one. So that's been a

704
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 8: huge part of their success. When they've been successful, I

705
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 8: think that makes it much easier for them to pull

706
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 8: off a win. Now, part of that that you have

707
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 8: to talk about is last time they were at Madison

708
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 8: Square Garden this season against Saint John's was one of

709
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 8: their worst shooting nights of the year. So Sat John's

710
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 8: obviously a different team defensively than Marquette is. But that's

711
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 8: the last time they shot in this arena, so that's

712
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 8: definitely something I'm gonna have my eye on.

713
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: How the hell did Marquette beat Yukon on Saturday.

714
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 8: It's a really good question. Has to be terrifying to

715
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 8: go into this game knowing they just beat Yukon. They've

716
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 8: won five of their last six, so they're clearly playing

717
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 8: their best basketball of the season. Now, you know, again,

718
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 8: how did they pull that one off?

719
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

720
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 8: It feels a little bit fluky. Maybe the pressure got

721
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 8: to Yukon in that situation or something. But I think

722
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 8: this is It's been two close games the first two

723
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 8: times these two teams played. I would expect another close

724
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 8: game here tonight, assuming Trey Carroll is able to play

725
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 8: and is somewhere near one hundred percent receavior.

726
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: What's interesting to me is Trey Carroll playing tonight, but also,

727
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: if you win, you got to bring him out there

728
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: in a consecutive night against an already extraordinarily tough task

729
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: in Yukon. I'm actually, and they have to win the

730
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: game tonight. I get that, I'm I'm, i'm is equally

731
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: interested in what he would look like if they did

732
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: have to play a game tomorrow. I don't know that

733
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: they have much of a shout at even hanging with

734
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: Yukon even if he does go. But I guess for

735
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: me that's what's more interesting than tonight.

736
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I mean, based

737
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 8: on the fact that he was struggling to move around.

738
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 8: It's a hip injury where he fell on it. I

739
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 8: don't know what the actual diagnosis was, but we consume

740
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 8: maybe some type of contusion or whatever. Got to imagine

741
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 8: the second day after playing a night game, he's not

742
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 8: gonna feel too great. But like you said, I don't

743
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 8: know that I would care too much about that either way,

744
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 8: because they haven't had a chance against Yukon either time

745
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 8: they played on the season.

746
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: Is I know you're not a bracketologist? Is this season

747
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: the most convincing argument against ncublea inevitable in all likelihood

748
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: ncablea tournament expansion?

749
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 8: You know, I think it's I summed this up best

750
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 8: in a text message we shared a few nights ago,

751
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 8: when I said We've been talking about tournament expansion for

752
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 8: far too long. I sent you a screenshot of some

753
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 8: guy who commented on this from like twenty and eleven,

754
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 8: and I enjoyed his take back. Then, we've been talking

755
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 8: about this like every single year. At this point, I

756
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 8: just don't care. Do whatever you're gonna do with the tournament.

757
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 8: Just let me watch it and don't make me listen

758
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 8: to the complaints about it for two months leading up

759
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 8: to the tournament. That's by far worse than actually expanding

760
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 8: the tournament is listening to everybody whine about the possibility

761
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 8: that at some point we might expand the tournament for

762
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 8: the last fourteen years, that's been pretty annoying.

763
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: On Yeah, and I've participated in that a lot. I

764
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: just I look at the bubble this year and and

765
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: you sees a part of this conversation there's like I

766
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: look at certain bracketology projections and I see Auburn at

767
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: sixteen and fifteen in the tournament. If that's what we're

768
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: coming close to including in a sixty eighteen field, what

769
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: kind of wreck what kind of wretched teams are we

770
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: going to include in a seventy sixteen field?

771
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 8: I think it will not go this way. But let

772
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 8: me throw this out to you. This is something I've

773
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 8: been told by people who do scheduling for high major teams.

774
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 8: They've made the claim to me that if the tournament

775
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 8: field were to be expanded, they would be much more

776
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 8: open to scheduling more difficult, high profile, interesting non conference

777
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 8: matchups because there's more margin for air. You don't feel

778
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 8: like one loss could cost you your ticket into the

779
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 8: Big Dance if that were the case. And again, I

780
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 8: don't actually believe that's what they would do with that opportunity.

781
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 8: I think they'd still just try to skate by and

782
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 8: find the easiest path into the tournament. But if that

783
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 8: were the case, and they were to schedule more interesting

784
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 8: non conference games, would that make it better from your perspective?

785
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, to a degree, if there's if that actually happens,

786
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: I've spent trust that I've spent a lifetime hearing coaches

787
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: say we'll play anybody, anywhere, anytime, and then you know

788
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: their their schedule looks like Travis Steels this year, no

789
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: knock on Miami. But I mean that's I I hear

790
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: that every year from coaches won't play anybody, and then

791
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: they never do so I'm skeptical that that would be

792
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: the case. Rick Boring is with this Xavier and Marquette

793
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: tonight put a bow on NKU in the Horizon Lead Tournament.

794
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought at halftime that that being as

795
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: good of a game as it was, and I know

796
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: they took a lead early in the second half, it

797
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: felt like a house of cards because I didn't I

798
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: didn't think they were going to be able to defend

799
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: Right State, and I kind of felt like as the

800
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: game unfolded, I ended up being right.

801
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 8: Is that a fair perspective, Yeah, And I think that's

802
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 8: you know, I certainly don't speak for the program or

803
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 8: the coaching staff or anything like that, but from my perspective,

804
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 8: that's what made it a little bit easier to swallow,

805
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 8: is at the end of that game, you just felt like, Okay,

806
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 8: Right State was clearly the better team this year. They

807
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 8: beat them three times, and in that third game, like

808
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 8: you said, NK, you was playing right with them for

809
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 8: the first half, felt like they were playing pretty well,

810
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 8: and then once again they just couldn't guard Right State

811
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 8: down the stretch and they made the necessary plays, and look,

812
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 8: we were wondering, how would some of those young guys.

813
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 8: You know, they play two freshmen a lot of minutes,

814
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 8: they play a sophomore a lot of minutes on that team.

815
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 8: How would they react to being in that weird arena,

816
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 8: in a one and done environment for the first time.

817
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 8: And there were multiple occasions where NK you had just

818
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 8: a little bit of momentum in the second half, had

819
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 8: a good defensive possession where they take it right down

820
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 8: the final seconds of the shot clock, and three different

821
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 8: time those young players for Right State banged buzzer beating

822
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 8: shot clock beating three pointers and those were all daggers.

823
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 8: I mean, that's what you got to do if you're

824
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 8: gonna win a championship.

825
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: I felt like NKU season this year was weird. Is

826
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: that a fair way of characterizing it?

827
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is. I think there were a few things

828
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 8: going on there. One, this is the first time, you know,

829
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 8: as much as we feel like we've been in the

830
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 8: transfer portal era for a while, this is the first

831
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 8: time NKU really turned over a large portion of its

832
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 8: roster in the transfer portal. They've really retained a lot

833
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 8: of guys every season and just added a guy here,

834
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 8: a piece there for depth. It's never been their main

835
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 8: guys this year, they finally did that. I think for

836
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 8: the first time. It took them a little bit longer

837
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 8: to settle into their defense. They changed their defense a

838
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 8: lot more than they ever have. And then you also

839
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 8: had that stretch a little past the midway point of

840
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 8: conference play where they had a lot of guys out

841
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 8: with injury, had LJ Wells down, Cal Robinson down, Donovan

842
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 8: Rocko to not a Harri down. And they struggled through

843
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 8: that stretch which kind of put them in a bit

844
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 8: of a spin and cost them some seating position. But

845
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 8: then right by the end of the season, once again

846
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 8: it seemed like they were playing their best basketball. They

847
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 8: had some momentum going into the tournament, and they got

848
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 8: back to the semi finals.

849
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about what happens this offseason is,

850
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, the Norse are going to have to replace

851
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: the school's all time leader and field goal percentage, Mitchell Minor,

852
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: who leaves NKU with a field goal percentage of one

853
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: hundred percent pride to Scott Heist. And so I guess

854
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: there's a two part question there, how do you replace

855
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: him and what plans might be made to honor him.

856
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 8: I was walking through the hallways over at the Truest

857
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 8: Arena today and I was looking around, I couldn't find anybody.

858
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 8: I was like, what is going on? And uh, actually

859
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 8: that's what I heard they were. They were having team

860
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 8: meeting staff meetings about how do we replace Mitchell Minor?

861
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 8: So I don't know if anyone has the answer for

862
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 8: one the field Yeah, right right, So I would probably

863
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 8: be making a lot more money if if I knew

864
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 8: the answer to that question.

865
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, get to the bottom of that. We'll maybe

866
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: talk about it next week at the Holy Grail. Thank

867
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: you was always good to see you. We'll talk next week.

868
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: I will say.

869
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 8: Mitchell Minor might be making appearance on the Darren Horn

870
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 8: TV show. Oh later this month.

871
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: Will he be introduced as the school's all time leader

872
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: and field goal percentage three for three is perfect.

873
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 8: I might know the guy in control of that, so

874
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 8: I'll run it past him.

875
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: Very good. Thanks man, We'll see We'll see you next week.
