00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: post now.

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: As of late he's almost been freakishly early, eager to

00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: the podium, eager to talk.

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: It must be maybe.

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on in the background today. Yeah,

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: maybe there's some things we don't know about.

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: We're waiting leave where we do we? I think we

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 3: we have Zach. Now, let's throw it.

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: To Zach Taylor in his weekly Wednesday press conference.

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe is limited today? Same with Cadge Brooks, same category,

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: both being good progress. We'll try andreson, we'll tends out

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 4: about the building. A lot of this group has been

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 4: around for a while. I know some of them have

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: left and come back, but they've had a lot of

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: continuity over there. I know they've added a couple of

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: new pieces, but you know, they've done a good job.

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 4: Sean's been a part of that defense obviously for nine

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: years now. I'll be Bavige has been there, I think

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: the entirety at the time as well, So a lot

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: of continuity over there, a lot of veterans I know

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: how to do it, a lot of young guys that

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 4: they're working in the mix as well. So just a

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: really really solid group that makes things difficult for you.

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: Why do you.

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 5: Think yourself, Dan, bitch Joe all works so well.

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: That well, I think, like anything, we've been together a

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: long time. You know, Pitts has been here since before

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: I got here. We made him the quarterback coach right

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: when Joe walked in the door, so that relationship has

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: has just continued to grow over Joe's tenure here. I

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: like to think it's it's guys that you know, we

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 4: can adapt each other and work well with each other.

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: And put Brad Kraig thor up in that mix. You

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: put Jake Browning in that mix, you put Joe Flackman

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: that mix as well. So I just think that it's

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: it's you know, people that like working together see things

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: the same way. Everyone's got input. Everybody I just mentioned

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: has input on how we do it. I don't think

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: there's any egos involved there with how it needs to

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 4: be done. And we're able to try to problem solve

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: during the week and during the game as well and

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: try to get a best result.

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 6: Why do you think that matters or plays a role

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 6: in Joe being able to take It's a lot of

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 6: half where it's a little bit see gifts around running

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 6: a second half them all and more.

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: I think we just we keep things flu during games

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: and always want his feedback. That's one thing I learned

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: early in my career as a quarterback coach is if

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: you got a quarterback that's earned the respect to give

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: his voice and you listen to it, he's the guy

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: that's out there who's got to do it and problems

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: halved to get it done. And so we've we've always

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: made it a point to give Joe that voice, and

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: he learned it really from day one when he got

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: here and so you're able to I thought he bled well,

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: but to work through any issues. Sometimes there's gonna be

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: some holes in the action, you know, or maybe you

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: have a three an hour or two and you need

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: to find a rhythm and you might have had this

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: plan you set in place to go do it, but hey, Joe,

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: what do you need to get us going?

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 7: Here?

75
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: And he's always really good with the feedback on that

76
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: concussion particle? Does tea or any fire do they have

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: to clear it before they can be a full participate?

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 8: Yeah?

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: And practice? Is that how that works?

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: Correct?

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 9: Jack?

82
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 10: Have the word end of the week, and the weather

83
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 10: here has presented some conditions that are I don't want

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 10: to say equivalent to what it will be like in Buffalo,

85
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 10: but closer maybe. How much thought do you give to

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 10: taking advantage of that in the sense of exposing your

87
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 10: guys to it. I think it's like, I think it's

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 10: supposed to snow again this week, we ever consider taking

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 10: them out.

90
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: We're always very mindful. I like to be outside every week,

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: not every day necessarily, but but you like to get

92
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: at there some point. I think it's I told our players,

93
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: great news, it's gonna be cold in Buffalo. And it's

94
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: gonna be cold here the next couple of days, and

95
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: so they were excited to hear that. So we get

96
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: a chance to get out there and work in the elements,

97
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: and and so we're always very mindful of where we're

98
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: gonna play and how we need to practice and like

99
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: to get outside. The players like being outside at least

100
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: for part of the week, and I don't like to

101
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: be inside every day. If we can avoid it, sometimes

102
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: you can't avoid it.

103
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: Why do you North to so wide open this year?

104
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: I mean it's still it's still tough teams. I mean,

105
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody likes going into DAFC North and

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: playing any of the four of us. So I think

107
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: it's well coached teams, top players, a lot of experience.

108
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: So it's always been a tough division. Y'all are able

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: to go out and get away on Sunday. What kind

110
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: of momentum do you think this couldn't give him? What

111
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 4: y'all still happen in front of Our biggest focus right

112
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: now is just find a way to beat bothalo and

113
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: take it from where we just from there. But right

114
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 4: now that's really all that matters.

115
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: So it stands out about James Cook when you watch

116
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: him and how he's.

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: Kind of Yeah, a lot of strengths. I think I

118
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: can list a lot of attributes that make him. He's

119
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: got great patience and vision and quickness and acceleration and

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: play strength. So I mean, you can just go on

121
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: and on and name every intangible and physical trait you

122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: want a running back to have.

123
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 11: He has it.

124
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: A lot of confidence in the scheme I know from

125
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: working with Aaron Kromer in the past, their line coach.

126
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: He does a great job and Joe Brady painting a

127
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: vision for what they want in the run game and

128
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: how it's supposed to be from a technique standpoint, we're

129
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: supposed to hit, and so you've seen back have success,

130
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: you know, And so I don't think that's shocking. And

131
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: it's not even just him. He's a great back, but

132
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: the other backs get in there and do a great

133
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 4: jump as well. So really dangerous attack.

134
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 12: How challenging is it when you're dealing with an elite quarterback,

135
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 12: but then you also have to deal with rushing attacks.

136
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: It's why they've been one of the top offenses consistently

137
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: over as long as I've been a head coach here.

138
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 4: You know, and so they're they're they've got great talent,

139
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: they're well coached, they've got a lot of confidence, and

140
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: they can throw the ball, they can run the ball.

141
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: They do a great jump run.

142
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 13: The defense is at right now you've talked about sort

143
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 13: of gradual crewment generally, but specifically in that phase, there

144
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 13: are things you're still looking for.

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: Where do you think that group's just continue to grow

146
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 4: and every week presents a new challenge. You know, it's

147
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: you know, from Pittsburgh to Baltimore to Buffalo, and everything's

148
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: got its unique challenges in terms of what players they're

149
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: actually calling and how they're going to attack you different

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: ways and so challenging. And then the quarterback. You know,

151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: they're not afraid to around the quarterback either, you know.

152
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: So you get to you know, third in less than

153
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 4: five and you might have a quarterback run match you're

154
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: in the whole red zone. You got a quarterback run

155
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 4: coming at you. So they're not afraid to do that.

156
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: That's that's an extra half for them. That makes it

157
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: really challenging when they're willing to do that. So again,

158
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: our guys feel like they've got a great plant in place.

159
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: Now we just got to go execute over the week.

160
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: How does defending Josh Allen fit into your run defense?

161
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: But it's we we play several quarterbacks that present challenge.

162
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: They're outstanding throwers and and really challenging runners, and so

163
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: you have to be mindful when his progression's out there.

164
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: He's not afraid to put his foot in the ground

165
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: and go get it, you know, and and then try

166
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: to run through people as well. So it's he's he's

167
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: a challenge to deal with.

168
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if you can answer to this,

169
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 5: but how often do you see on film where maybe

170
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: the second or third progression is actually to run the ballwards?

171
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 14: No?

172
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: I think, No, he's he's I mean I've seen him

173
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: get through every progression. He's got exhaust the entire thing

174
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 4: and staying back the employed quarterback, I think, like like

175
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: any quarterback that's got experience like he does, they can

176
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: identify the covers very quickly and say okay, I can

177
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: I can get one too and put go, you know,

178
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: and there's going to be avoid there. And other times

179
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: they just know they got that innate feel of time

180
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: in the pocket coverage where I don't need to run,

181
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: I can sit back here and exhaust my progression. So

182
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: he's got the experience to do all that, and it

183
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: makes him really challenging. Mike Pearson's having a heck of

184
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: a season. How has that impacted just the wait and call,

185
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: the managing game? I just I have a ton of

186
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: confidence in him. I don't think it's overall affected a

187
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: whole lot of decisions we've made. I really I don't.

188
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I have confidence in him. I

189
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: can't think of one moment where it should we go

190
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 4: for this, No, Evan's going to make a fifty something yarder.

191
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 4: I don't feel like there's been that as many decisions

192
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 4: as maybe past years. It just it feels that way.

193
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe as I reflect back on the season,

194
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: I'd have four good answers for you. But he's he's

195
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 4: playing with a ton of confidence. You see it in

196
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: practice too. I mean that's what you all don't see,

197
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: that he's doing this in practice. He's been doing this

198
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: as training camp, the same consistency, and then going out

199
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 4: there in the game and giving our team a lot

200
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: of confidence.

201
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: You're you're you're a good leader of games.

202
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: When they're unfold they you ever get a sense, you know,

203
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 6: like in Baltimore, this is going to be you know,

204
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 6: let's get points.

205
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 15: This is going to be.

206
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: Or this is going to be going for I mean

207
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: that's what it turned into. You don't always predict that,

208
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: you know. I think a lot of times against Baltimore,

209
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: you you always both teams are capable of scoring and

210
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 4: both teams complete your defense too, So you gotta feel

211
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: that as the game goes. And is there a point

212
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 4: where you said, you know what, uh, let's get points. Yeah,

213
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: I think you know that second or third drive our defense,

214
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: you know, outside of the first drive, and they scored

215
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: the touchdown and we've got some stops and and again,

216
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 4: I don't know that it did influence necessarily all the decisions,

217
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: but you felt like, let's just keep taking points and

218
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: building from there. And or defensive quin.

219
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 6: Well, why do you think it takes some young guys

220
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 6: a little bit longer to realize.

221
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: How important the details are?

222
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 10: Consistency is?

223
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: Why do you think they just maybe click for some

224
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: people later rather than That's a hard one to answer.

225
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 4: I think it's probably pretty rare for a guy to

226
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: come in his first year and just everything clicked for him.

227
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: And you know, I can't give you a great answer

228
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 4: and why. It could be different positions, it could be

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: different personalities, it could be different college experience. It could

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: be a guy that transferred didn't transfer. But I can

231
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: think examples of all of them, of guys that succeeded

232
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 4: and didn't, and they all have different backgrounds. So I

233
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: don't know's I like to think because they get more

234
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: experience on the field with us, then they got a

235
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 4: better chance of succeeding. And so we've tried to give

236
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: guys that experience to keep learning and keep gaining. And

237
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: there's gonna be mistakes made. I've said that in here

238
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 4: a million times. But you keep seeing guys just continue

239
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: to grow and get better and they've that opportunity. And

240
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: I don't think that they fear failure with us. I

241
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 4: don't think that they feel like if I go in

242
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: there and make a mistake, I'm done. They're they're going

243
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: to be done with me. That's not really the approach

244
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 4: we have. We we like to keep coaching through it

245
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: and coaching a in a We're gonna be critical if

246
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: of mistakes you make. At the same time be positive

247
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: and encourage the growth and again not not let guys

248
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: just fear of failure that we're not I'm not going

249
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: to get to see a field again.

250
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: That for you, because obviously there's a lot of pressure

251
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 3: on you as well as a head coach and the

252
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: coaching staff when things don't go well.

253
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: How do you kind of you just do what's right.

254
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: I don't worry about the pressure it's on me. You

255
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: just you make the right decision for the program. And

256
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: and as long as you're just making those decisions, then

257
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: then I like to think more times than not, the

258
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: best case know is going to play off for you.

259
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: So it's tremendous uh leadership, experience, energy. He's just done

260
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: a great job. He's he's really a really good example

261
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 4: of that room because I think you're going to describe

262
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 4: every player in that room the same way, and so

263
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: for Alton to be the last added peace to that.

264
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: He just has walked in the door and fit right in.

265
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: And I'm really happy we have him, have enjoyed him

266
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: being around and enjoyed the role he's playing for us.

267
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: But I think he's he's just a great example of

268
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: what that old line room really is. And it's all

269
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 4: great personalities, guys that love football, guys that really understand

270
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: have a high football IQ, and so it's it's a

271
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 4: good group to be around.

272
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: The December run. If it's going to happen, it's going

273
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: to fall on the offensive line at least to a degree.

274
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 10: You want the run game going, you want to protect Joe.

275
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 16: How confident are you in just that group and how

276
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 16: they've kind of become what they are now?

277
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: A lot of confidence, They have a lot of confidence.

278
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 4: I think the offensive we've got a lot of confidence

279
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: in them. The team's got a lot of confidence in them.

280
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: They played well, but again, it's it's the preaching to

281
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: the whole team right now. It doesn't matter what we

282
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: did last week. We got to keep doing it over

283
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: and over again. And so we can't just assume because

284
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: we did some good things on Thursday night that that's

285
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 4: going to cry over Sunday. Guys understand that. I think

286
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: that's why we've always kind of been strong later in

287
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 4: the season. Our guys have had a great approach to that,

288
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 4: and this year's a new year and we're gonna have

289
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: to have the same approach.

290
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: Fits was talking about Dalton's intangibles and he pointed out

291
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: that he's always the first one at the spot and

292
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 2: attacked up in the guy.

293
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: Yet when you were playing quarterback, how much did you

294
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: take note of that? Who who was there?

295
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, no, you feel that Guys that take a

296
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: lot of pride and protecting the guys behind him, And

297
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 4: whether that's backs receivers picking up receivers down the field,

298
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: or being the first one to pick up the quarterback,

299
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 4: you know it's.

300
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 10: You.

301
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: You You like a guy that that's got that protective

302
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: nature to him and covered down the field is how

303
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: we define that, And I think Dalton is a great

304
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 4: example of that.

305
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 5: Closely monitor got rookie like Jaylon Rivers, seemed to be making.

306
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: A lot of progress, and you make that change.

307
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 6: Along with Scott.

308
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: I think part of the Jalen's I mean, Jalen got

309
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 4: banged up and so it was that's what led to

310
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: the change. Jameens got a tremendous mindset, So I don't

311
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: worry about him. He's making great progress this year. I

312
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: got a lot of confidence in him. He's going to

313
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: get a ton of opportunity, so that that's not a

314
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: concern of mine, just because of who he is and

315
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 4: kind of the work he's put in to get where

316
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: he's at. He played tackle for us earlier in the year.

317
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 4: Then we moved in the guard and he's handled all

318
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: that really well, and so I think he's he's a

319
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 4: guy that is going to play big role for us Buffalo. Yeah.

320
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: I means there's certainly plays and concepts that show up.

321
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: I think, you know, they they suited around our quarterback.

322
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 4: We suit ours around our quarterback, and and they're both

323
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: really talented quarterbacks. To say they have different place styles,

324
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: there's a lot of similarities that they have and then

325
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: there's some differences in I'm not going to get into

326
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: all of them, but so I think that they do

327
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: what's best for their offense led by their quarterback, and

328
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: we do what's best for our offense led by our quarterback.

329
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 11: It's the biggest pack you think Scott Peters has had

330
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 11: on the offensive line room this year.

331
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: I think he's done a great job getting the best

332
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: at all these guys, the development of the young players.

333
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: We've had several young players come in and play, and

334
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: I think they've only gotten better. I think as as

335
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: our line as a whole, it's a really cohesive unit

336
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 4: that's improved overall from top to bottom. So I'm I

337
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: think he's done a really good job Ken since the finals,

338
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: for the whole of the year time. I know he's

339
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: been in before, but what's been your interaction? Tremendous, huge

340
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: fan of Ken Anderson. He's He's always been great to me,

341
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: through good times and bad. He's an example of a guy,

342
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: you know, when we've struggled, who was there still supporting me,

343
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: genuinely supporting me and our team and the direction we're headed.

344
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: And so you you really, I genuinely appreciate people like that.

345
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: Ken and I have always had a great relationship through

346
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: his foundation, through him just coming to practice, through text messages,

347
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: and so I have done my own research. I mean,

348
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: he absolutely should have been in the Hall of Fame

349
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: a long time ago. He should absolutely be in now.

350
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: I mean statistically he's he's in a better position than

351
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: a lot of people that are in it. You know,

352
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: NFL MVP and of the Year, led his team to

353
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. I mean, all all the great performance, the

354
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: completion percentage, everything he's done, statistically, should he should be

355
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: in it right now. So this year is the year

356
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: he absolutely absolutely should be in it. If he's not,

357
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: it's it's a shame. Do you see him as a

358
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: guy that i'd be well, I'm not going to pretend

359
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: like I've dug through all his tape and washed it all,

360
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: but I just know statistically, when you look at how

361
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: he played, I mean, and then people that are in

362
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: you know, it's just he deserves to be in absolutely

363
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 4: and so and he did it. He did it over

364
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: a long period of time. I mean, he did it

365
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: over a really long period of time. So look forward

366
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 4: to see him get in there.

367
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: Sat Ax and Anderson playing first state championships the next

368
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: couple of days. Will be pulling for both those absolutely.

369
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know Travis Bramer, his son played at Anderson

370
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: last year, so I know he still does a lot

371
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 4: of the games. And I've been following Anderson all year.

372
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: They have a tremendous team, and I think they're playing

373
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: the same team they played last year. I'm not mistaken.

374
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: I know they're proximate five fifty three am this year.

375
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: Seven minutes earlier I saw that. So, uh, definitely pulling

376
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: for Anderson, Definitely pulling for Saint X. You know, got

377
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: a lot of people that I know that are there,

378
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: and so two great nights of football, you know, Thursday

379
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: and Friday, and I hope I'm not missing anybody else

380
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 4: in the area, but those are two teams that I

381
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 4: feel like I've I've really followed over the last couple

382
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: of years, and great football coming from the Cincinnati area.

383
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: So it'll be fun to watch.

384
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 17: Tight End position is big in the in the in

385
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 17: the NFL, it's govern big back again. Both these teams

386
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 17: have good tight ends and a strong position group. What

387
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 17: do you think about Buffalo's tight ends? What are their strengths? Yeah,

388
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 17: good group.

389
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: I think they compliment each other really well. You know

390
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: the group of guys they have. I know, Kid's been out,

391
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 4: He's always been a guy that we've been a big

392
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: fan of. Again, they've got good depth there. Those guys

393
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: all understand their role. They've gotten a lot out of

394
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: that position, and just like we have. You know, I

395
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: think we've always James Casey. I've always said this is

396
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: the best Titan coach in the NFL and does a

397
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: great job developing getting the most out of guys that

398
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: we have. Whether there were guys that have been here throughout,

399
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: were guys that we've added in the free agency, you know,

400
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: they've they've always had their top years playing for James,

401
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 4: and so I think it's it's two teams that are

402
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: well coached that position and have gotten a lot of

403
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: value out of those guys. Okay, thank you, all right.

404
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: That is Zach Taylor just finishing up speaking with the

405
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: media at pay Course Stadium. I did see that as well.

406
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: Austin the the Anderson Raptors. They lost by seven in

407
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: the state finals last year. They have practiced every day

408
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: at five fifty three am, seven minutes early to make

409
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: up for the seven points they've lost by and they

410
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: get a chance at retribution this weekend.

411
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: It's also very rare to see high school football team

412
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: practice in the morning. Yeah, almost never happens. So I

413
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: do think that's a unique and a cool wrinkle about

414
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: about Anderson. I'm blanking on their head coach's name, but

415
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: he was on with with Eddie and Rocky down the

416
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 3: whole a couple of weeks ago, and just the energy

417
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: he attacked a phone call with was awesome. So pursuit

418
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: of a championship, aggressive pursuit of a championship. Yeah, yeah,

419
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: I agree. I wish I knew his name. I feel bad.

420
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: I there's there's a lot of normal stuff there from

421
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: from Zach Taylor. I don't think any of that was,

422
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: you know, earth chattering. There's one thing I want to ask,

423
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: it's almost now like Zach has put off with the

424
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson thing. Yeah, at this point, with no other understanding,

425
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: what are we led to believe about what's going on

426
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson in the Bengals.

427
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: I think we're led to believe that we don't know

428
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: all the details.

429
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: There's got to be something there, right, this is what

430
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: is If not, then he's just he's just essentially saying

431
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm done.

432
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 3: This is what I come back to. If they knew

433
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: that his injury was going to keep him out this long, correct,

434
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: they would have put him on the injured list, on

435
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: the injured reserve like every other team in the NFL,

436
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: and designated him to return, opened up a roster spot.

437
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 3: And so I don't know what's going on, but the

438
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: information we can gather, if the team did not take

439
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: that action, that would lead you to believe that they

440
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: think the injury should be healed by now, or that

441
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: he would be able to play by now, and not

442
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: putting him on the injured reserve list, and the way

443
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: that Zach has talked about it, each of the last

444
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: couple of weeks leaves the door open to the idea

445
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: that we're just on Trey's timeline and until he's ready

446
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: to play, we don't know what's going to happen. And

447
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: the part he said the other day and I talked

448
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: about this when you were out yesterday, like the first

449
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: thirty seconds of his press conference where he was kind

450
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: of cutting off reporters and just kind of seem miffed

451
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: by the whole thing. That to me, is the most indicative. Yes, again,

452
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 3: you don't want to you don't want to assume you don't.

453
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: This is just literally taking the knowledge and the information

454
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: that we can see on the outside.

455
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's outrageous to say that there

456
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: are people in the Bengals organization that think he is

457
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: healthy enough or should be healthy enough to play. Yeah.

458
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: I don't think that that would be an over the

459
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 3: moon statement, And I think these actions would lend to

460
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: me believing that.

461
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

462
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: One other quick update from National Signing Day. Have you

463
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: seen this with Chris Henry that he signed with the Buckeyes.

464
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: He did not shut up. He has not sent in

465
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: his paperwork yet. This was on the tot McAfee reporter.

466
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: A couple of minutes ago CBS. We trust that CBS

467
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: Sports College Football is actually discussing this right now with

468
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: two four seven Sports, that he is weighing options. According

469
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: to him at both Oregon and USC it's not a

470
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: money thing. With Chris Henry Jr. It's clearly a Brian

471
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: Hartline thing, and he wants to make sure that he's

472
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: making the right decision. So as of now, does not

473
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: appear that it's officially signed from Chris Henry Jr.

474
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: Yet at Ohio State.

475
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: Something to watch for, maybe Scott Saderfield makes a run

476
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: at him. Your talkbacks are next. ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

477

Speaker 2: Sports Stations.

478
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Rudy Joe Burrow is back and he played.

479
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: It's that time for talkbacks.

480
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 18: Press the microphone and record your message or Austin in tone,

481
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 18: please keep it clean and don't me at a sprinkle, sprinkle,

482
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 18: drip drip.

483
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 15: It's that time for talkbacks.

484
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 18: It's our favorite part since three sixty So Austin, buddy,

485
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 18: play those talkbacks on your screen and please ride out

486
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 18: to sabotage.

487
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: Sitting down the hall last night, Austin, it occurred to

488
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: me just how lucky we are to have the talkback

489
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: audience that we have here on ESPN fifteen thirty. I

490
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: don't think talkbacks could happen on the other station. Oh no,

491
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: they absolutely cannot.

492
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 3: We're lucky and we're thankful. I mean, you want to

493
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: talk about awful. I've heard terrible, I've heard vile things.

494
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: The talkbacks on the hall, we would lose the license

495
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: in seconds second.

496
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 7: It's the Lord, happy days.

497
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: Lord couldn't save us either.

498
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 7: Have a start bench cut for you, Tony and Austin

499
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 7: and for talkback nations.

500
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 3: Okay?

501
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 7: Christmas villains? Oh, the Grinch, Jack Frost.

502
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: Man, that's good. I think the best villain was Scrooge,

503
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: and it made the ending so much better when he

504
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: wakes up after his third visit and a tone for

505
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: all the wrong he's done. I think you can make

506
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: the same argument for the Grinch. I'll start Scrooge, I

507
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: will bench the Grinch, and I'll cut Jack Frost.

508
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: Is there any such thing as an actual Christmas villain?

509
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: Great question? They all change at the end. Is there

510
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: one that doesn't change out there? I'll start the Grinch,

511
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: bench Scrooge, and I honestly don't know that much about

512
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: old Jack Frost other than he's been nipping at my nose.

513
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 19: Tony and Austin. This is big kahuna in Kentucky. Hey,

Speaker 19: team done moved on from Cave York in that good

518
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 19: luck Charms five and zero last year. That's some bad

519
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 19: karma right there.

520
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: Should have kept them.

521
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,360

Speaker 3: Oh, hezel to Austin, that's a pretty good kahuna impression.

528
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: A quick Google search you come up with the following.

529
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: Scott Farcas who he was the bully and Chris allowed

530
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: to say that, Yes, Scott Farcas Christmas story, bully. We

531
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: don't like bullies around here. Harry and Marv they never

532
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: really had toned for anything. They were villains. They got

533
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: what was coming to him. Hans Gruber from die Hard

534
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: Okay could fall in the same category.

535
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: What about uh, Kevin's brother Buzz Buzz was a bully too,

536
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: he did you know you could bully him? Oogie Boogie

537
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: once kidnapped Sannah. What'd you call him? Ugie Boogie?

538
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 9: Oh?

539
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: I always called him Ugi Boogie.

540
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: Oh maybe it'gi Boogie Ugie Boogie Ookie Boogie.

541
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 20: The only bad thing about listening to fifteen thirty is

542
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 20: having to listen to the Chris Canty promo. You know,

543
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 20: and that's not even his name. His real name is Chris.

544
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 20: Can't he shut the hell up?

545
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: Wow? Go Muskies? Can't He's actually been nice to the Bengals.

546
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: He has, He's changed.

547
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 9: Former President Ronald Reagan and Whale. I wouldn't get too

548
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 9: excited about Kyle Schwarber coming to Cincinnati. I mean, I

549
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 9: don't know if he has any connections here or not.

550
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 9: I don't even know where he's from. But it's not

551
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 9: like he's Hello.

552
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: Hello, true he is from Middletown though, former.

553
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 21: To Brian Hartline, that's a well deserved opportunity. And as

554
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 21: far as Kyle Schwarber to the Reds and the words

555
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 21: of Michael Scott, no doubt about it. I'm ready to

556
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 21: get hurt again.

557
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: No doubt about it, No doubt about it. I think

558
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: it's more applicable to the Scott's Tots. Nick crawl is,

559
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: Michael Scott, have you did you have a chance over

560
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 3: the break to check in on the Cris Henry News

561
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: and hope it goes away okay, and hope the paperwork

562
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 3: is just kind of like a just lost and okay.

563
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: It's like just has to send the Hugh Jackson thing.

564
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 21: Yeah, hey, Tony, just a quick follow up to something

565
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 21: he mentioned to start the show. If you guys already

566
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 21: mentioned this in the meantime, apologies, but Brian Hardline actually

567
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 21: did interview for the Cincinnati job. Yeah, before they hired

568
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 21: Scott Siderfield.

569
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it just because interview, Like would he

570
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: have taken it right? Like he wasn't offered, right, he

571
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: wasn't offered. I wonder if he would have taken her

572
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: if Just sometimes people interview just to kind of go

573
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: through that process and get an understanding of it.

574
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: That's just another one that John Cunningham just absolutely nailed.

575
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 4: High energy, how Wi.

576
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 22: Field, Williams, Darnel Burton, Jonte vaugh and the amazing Lazelle Durton.

577
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 22: I missed the days when an open shooter is gonna

578
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 22: knock down that three, six, seven threes of games when

579
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 22: you played it ranked opponent, you thought you're gonna beat them. Yep,

580
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 22: not anymore, man. I missed those days.

581
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. From all the basketball I watch, usually

582
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: when three point shooters are left open, they do make

583
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: the shot. You need to make your shots, and you're you, guys.

584
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 23: Well the cast the losers have been in charge of

585
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 23: this Red's team for twenty years now, run this organization

586
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 23: into the ground. They've stomped on the traditions, the rich

587
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 23: history of this I think they're finally starting to feel

588
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 23: the heats from the fan base.

589
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: I hope they are.

590
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 23: I hope they feel like they have to sign Kyle Schwarber,

591
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 23: and I hope it gets done.

592
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 11: Come on meany to hi boys, I want to give

593
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 11: you a little bit of a sprinkle of sprinkled drip trip. Yes,

594
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 11: this is Walker from the West Side, and we'll thinking

595
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 11: about betting the Bengals to when the division don't. They're

596
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 11: plus eight fifty great value, sure, but if you think

597
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 11: they're going to win out to get there, you might

598
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 11: as well keep doubling up your money and bet the

599
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 11: money line every single time from here until there after

600
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 11: the end of this week. You would have bet a

601
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 11: ten dollars bet, you'd be up to thirty two. Double

602
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 11: that up, you'd be up to about seventy five. You're

603
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 11: already at your value there. So keep doubling up, boys, let's.

604
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: Go Okay, Well, thank you for that.

605
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: We had an interesting discussion in our family last week

606
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: while we were watching the first two.

607
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 9: Parts of The Godfather.

608
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 7: Wow, the First Godfather a Christmas movie.

609
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 18: Oh, Christmas decorations, there's Christmas shopping, there's Christmas lights.

610
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

611
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 6: Oh it's a Christmas movie.

612
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't think I view it as a Christmas movie.

613
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: But I also don't view Harry Potter as a Christmas

614
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: movie while others do because it was filmed during like

615
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: Christmas time, like there's Christmas trees and Christmas break and

616
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: all that. I still view it as a Christmas movie

617
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: just because of that.

618
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: I've never seen the guy fum yo.

619
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 13: We got them shaking in a buffalo boots, weapon, the

00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 13: they're a little bit nervous. These fans out there, they

00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 13: a little bit scared. You should be just like Wes.

628
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 13: about him. I'm out the door with that coach already.

629
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 13: And Yo, Reds, get swore home. I want to see

630
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 13: if he can hit one of Kentucky in great American

631
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 13: small park.

632
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: I bet he could. We're not trying to hit home.

633
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 24: Made from the in the lext Sorry this morning, welcome back.

634
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 24: It was a great trip to Utah, but as as always,

635
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 24: it's good to get back home. But not happy about

636
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 24: my Wildcats. I don't know, Mark Pope.

637
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: Come on, dude.

638
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 24: Uh excited for Sunday with the Bengals. If they win Sunday,

639
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 24: I think they got a really good chance to make

640
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 24: the playoffs.

641
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: So whoday, go Reds. And I guess, Oh no, he

642
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: didn't even get it in he said, I guess. I guess. Man, Hey, Tony,

643
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: I heard you announce on the radio today that you

644
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: were going to the Christmas party. That's kind of surprising.

645
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: I didn't think new employees within the first ninety days

646
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 3: as they were new hire. But we're allowed to go.

647
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: That's valid point. You should well, you should put a

648
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: name tag on tonight. Hi, I'm Tony. Tony. Good to each.

649
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: I've been here a couple months. Talst guy in the room,

650
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: been here a couple of months. How are you you

651
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: know something?

652
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 15: When I was growing up the Crosstown Shoot, I was

653
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 15: very special.

654
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 3: You actually have to do that to a couple of

655
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: our people, sales folks. Just reintroduce yourself.

656
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 15: You know something? When I was growing up the cross

657
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 15: Town Shoot, I was very special.

658
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

659
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 15: He used to shut down the city.

660
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 13: I can remember getting the Cincinnati Inquiry or the Cincinnati Post,

661
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 13: goes straight to the sports section article and just read

662
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 13: about UC and Xavier. Yes, sitting here wondering man and

663
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 13: how my bearcat's gonna beat the Musketeers.

664
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 15: And we already know what Chalnent was gonna be on.

665
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 15: He was either on channel nine or Channel nineteen. That's

666
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 15: how it was. Back then.

667
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 13: It had significant meaning. Now it's a rider with no

668
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 13: meaning on the load you see by ten.

669
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: I also like i've said this before. I think that

670
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: the new age of sports hurts it as well. You

671
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: don't have guys that have been in the rivalry for

672
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 2: three or four years that see it and build up

673
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: to it. You got guys that have been in Cincinnati

674
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: a couple months, and that takes away from it as well.

675
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: And both teams are not very good.

676
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 12: Afternoon boys, Austin, you were supposed to be in charge

677
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 12: of keeping track and checking your boy Tony. He just

678
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 12: quoted from an article saying it would be quite the

679
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 12: coupe if the Reds could get Schwarber.

680
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

681
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 12: I was waiting for you to chime in and tell

682
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 12: them that that is not proper use of the wordage.

683
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 12: So we're gonna need you to step up your game.

684
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 14: Son.

685
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

686
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: There gets to a point everyone's life where you just

687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: try enough and.

688
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 3: You give up. I do appreciate you calling me out,

689
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: and I want that. That being said, I have tried

690
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: sometimes times with Tony and it goes in one ear

691
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: and out the other. Ye, And so I've given up.

692
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 25: Ye.

693
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: And you know, if he wants to make a fool

694
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: of himself, thank you's you go right ahead. Thank you.

695
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter if he gets fired. He gets rehired. One's

696
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: doing well today.

697
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 24: Question for you, fellas, who plays another snap first the

698
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 24: rest of the season, Jamar Stewart or Trey Henderson Stewart.

699
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 3: I don't think Trey will ever play again for the things.

700
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 16: I don't know how much you pay attention to the

701
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 16: online chatter, but there's a pretty funny thing going on

702
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 16: right now. And I don't understand the NFL's dress code

703
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 16: rules and all that, but the idea of the Bengals

704
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 16: going Ninja mode and wearing all white if there's snow

705
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 16: in Buffalo, I find pretty dang funny.

706
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: Is that a thing? All that stuff has to be

707
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 3: announced ahead of time. So my understanding is how it

708
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: works is that the teams submit what uniforms they want

709
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 3: to wear for each game in June, and then between

710
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: June and the start of the regular season, it's all

711
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: ironed out. You know, if a team wants if the

712
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: Bengals want to wear all white at home, then the

713
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: other team will wear their dark uniform and blah blah

714
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. So the Bengals have known that they're

715
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: gonna wear the all white jersey and pants combination for

716
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: a while. I would think Now, I do think that

717
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 3: the pants are decided on like the week of for

718
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 3: the most part, but the other stuff has to be

719
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: submitted to the league previously. So Actually, the Bengals are

720
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: wearing their orange helmets, so they're not wearing the white

721
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: helmets this week. They're wearing their white jerseys with white

722
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: pants and the black socks. Here's what's interesting about that.

723
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: The Bengals have not worn that combination in back to

724
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: back regular season games since they got the new uniforms.

725
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 3: The only time in the history of these new uniforms

726
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one on that they have worn this exact combination.

727
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 3: The exact same in back to back games was the

728
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one playoffs when they were at Tennessee and

729
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 3: at Kansas City in the Divisional round in the AFC

730
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 3: Championship Game.

731
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 25: Okay, hey, the top ranking Tony in Austin, Tony, congratulations

732
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 25: on sixth nationally from Awful Announcing on Best College Duo

733
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 25: Announcer broadcast, does Austin If I was you, I would

734
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 25: take Tony to a nice dinner to celebrate.

735
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: Now that reminds me, for whatever reason, of that voice Austin. Also,

736
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: I think they wore them back to back in the

737
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: twenty two playoffs as well, which would have been the

738
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: win in Buffalo and then the AFC Championship game in

739
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: Kansas City. So back to back postseasons. I'm sorry, Tony continued, Firs.

740
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Did you hear yesterday at all from Georgia from the Valley? No, okay,

741
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: he ain't got the guts to show up. We haven't

742
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: talked about this though, that you're number six, number six

743
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 2: Big Time, number one in the Big twelve, number one

744
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: in the Big twelve.

745
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, nationally. No, I'm not taking Tony out to a

746
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 3: nice dinner. He's the one who makes the big bucks.

747
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, I think Tony needs to take Dan

748
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 3: out the day.

749
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just.

750
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 3: And Ben Jarvis brad ellis.

751
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 7: Oh man, it's the Lord doing a double dip. I

752
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 7: didn't get to hear Zach Taylor's press conference. Oh what's

753
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 7: the latest on Tea? Higgins?

754
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: Guy just exists without the Internet God, which I appreciate.

755
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Yeah, you're supposed to be omnipotent. He's limited. Okay,

756
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 3: boys get one Christmas or Bengals make the playoffs. Bengals reds.

757
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: The rest of the Reds are not that well time out.

758
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: What if it's like Bengals to the super Bowl, then yes,

759
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: if the Bengals get in and lose in the first round,

760
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm still taking Swarbur.

761
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 3: That's not the question. It is do they make the

762
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 3: playoffs or do the Reds get Kyle Swarber. I think

763
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: I'll take Swarburg. Do you think if the Bengals make

764
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs in a potentially a playoff situation without Patrick

765
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: Mahomes and without Lamar Jackson, you betting against the Bengals

766
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: in the AFC?

767
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 17: No?

768
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: Okay, no, but that would mean that they would get

769
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: back to the super Bowl. But I think that the

770
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: Reds are a playoff team and a contender with Why

771
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: do you think that they have no relievers at the

772
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: moment they can add relievers, still have money left, they

773
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 2: know they won't. Yeah, it's a good question, though, Bengals.

774
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 12: Okay, just a reminder, Bearcats eight thousand, there we have days.

775
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: And there we center well said not so fun when

776
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: the Rabbits got the gun hunt Tom, that's true I

777
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: can say about that.

778
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 26: I wanted to ask you guys something, do either one

779
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 26: of you guys ever watch like high school or college wrestling.

780
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 26: We have some of the best in the country just

781
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 26: in this area, just like it is just like football.

782
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 26: And if you guys get a chance to go out

783
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 26: and support a local high school, I think you would

784
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 26: be impressed about just the camaraderie and that in that

785
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 26: whole community of wrestlers. So if you get a chance,

786
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 26: go out and check it out.

787
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: I have not gotten in.

788
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: I know that under Dick Engles Toote legit reading. Reading

789
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 2: was always a contender in wrestling. I remember the Charlie

790
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: Moore Invitational happened all the time. I would always go

791
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: up to the Charlie more Invitational and check things out.

792
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: Reading coach actually wanted me to come out for wrestling

793
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: at one point because he said I was gangly. Gangs

794
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: turned gangly, that means long arms, long legs. He said,

795
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: I'd have been tough to get to. It would have

796
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: been tough to get to, but I played basketball instead.

797
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 3: Played I don't know if really you didn't play that play.

798
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 14: Totally agree with you, guys. You got to get the

799
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 14: Schwarmer thing done. Tray Brady Singer and another one of

800
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 14: the arbitration eligible guys, free up your money. That's about

801
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 14: fifteen sixteen million. Trade those guys off. It's time for

802
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 14: the young guys Chase Burns and Rett Louder to be

803
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 14: in the rotation. Anyway, love what Brady Singer did, but

804
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 14: that's the move you need to make. The free up

805
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 14: the cash if you truly can't go above that twenty million.

806
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 3: That's what they need to do.

807
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 14: And I have it on good authority, Big Kahunah and Kentucky.

808
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 14: If he hasn't already chimed in, he will clap back tomorrow.

809
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 3: No Kahuna really, he really doesn't need to leave. No

810
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: more talkbacks like ever again, come on, bray it. But yeah,

811
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: all right, that's it. Was it.

812
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: Football in the NATI is next. We'll talk to some

813
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: college hoops an hour before.

814
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: Come in yet, Chris Henry, take.

815
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: Your phone calls five one three seven four nine fifteen

816
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: Wait five one three, seven four nine fifteen thirty.

817
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right on the whole.

818
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: How many times as you say that last night one

819
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty just one second time going to break? First

820
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 2: time I was so locked in on the number. Second break,

821
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: I gave the wrong one. But at seven four nine,

822
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty, give us a call. We'll talk to you

823
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 2: an hour three on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

824
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: From the Court in the NATI, brought to you in

825
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: part by bud Light and by Oakley Greens on ESPN

826
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: fifteen point thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

827
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: All right, it is football in the NATI. Welcome back,

828
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. It happened last night, Austin.

829
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: Let's take a few minutes an update and discuss a

830
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: couple of the storylines surrounding the college football playoff rankings.

831
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: It was a final regular season rankings. Obviously, Championship Weekend

832
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: happens this coming weekend Friday and Saturday. But with that,

833
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 2: no change at the top. Ohio State Indiana remained number

834
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: one and number two. Now Texas A and M's loss

835
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: has shifted some things. Texas A and M drops from

836
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: three to seven, which means Georgia moves up to three,

837
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: Texas Tech moves up to four, Oregon moves up to five,

838
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 2: and Old Miss without a head coach, moves up to

839
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: number six. Oklahoma has stayed at number eight. And the

840
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 2: interesting thing is Alabama has jumped Notre Dame, so Notre

841
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: Dame falls from nine to ten, Bama goes from ten

842
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 2: to nine, BYU is eleven, Miami is twelve, Texas is thirteen,

843
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 2: and then after that. I don't think it really matters much.

844
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: A couple of the talking points here Austin, a lot

845
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: of people trying to make a case for Texas. I

846
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: don't think Texas has a path. They have three losses.

847
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 2: A lot of people are making a case from Miami.

848
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: The case from Miami, Austin to me is a little

849
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: bit different because Miami is at twelve. Their regular season

850
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: is over, they're not playing for a conference title game.

851
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: But while losing to Louisville and SMU, Miami did have

852
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 2: a head to head win against Notre Dame. How much

853
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 2: should that factor into the college football playoff rankings? Knowing

854
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: that the Notre Dame game was the very first game

855
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 2: of the season and since then again Miami has slipped

856
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: up against teams that are both no longer ranked or

857
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Miami has slipped up against teams that are

858
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: no longer ranked. Does Miami have a case to be

859
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: angry being at twelve on Notre Names at ten?

860
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 3: I guess it really just depends on who you lost

861
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: to and how the committee views those teams. Yeah, that's

862
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: ultimately I guess what is the deciding factor now? If

863
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 3: they were ten and eleven and Miami is number eleven,

864
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: I would I would say that's wrong. Sure, but clearly

865
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: the other losses for Miami, which are who I don't

866
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: even know.

867
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 2: Miami lost to Louisville and SMU, neither team is ranked.

868
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's losses were to Miami, into Texas A and

869
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 2: m Yeah, so the first two games of the year

870
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: and they've since won ten straight games.

871
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are better losses than Miami has wins, right,

872
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 3: that is correct? And Notre Dame.

873
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: I guess they've won ten games in a row, so

874
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: I get the back and forth, a big twelve dynamic

875
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: that I think is interesting knowing what we know Austin

876
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: and seeing the teams that are kind of on the

877
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: outside looking in, and that the top doesn't matter because

878
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: you're still gonna have two automatic bids that are taking

879
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 2: up this weekend as well. So the top, you know,

880
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 2: you're still gonna have teams on the outside looking in

881
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: that a lot of people feel are deserving BYU is

882
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 2: an interesting one because they're at number eleven, they play

883
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. Is there a scenario Austin where you could

884
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 2: see Texas Tech going from number four to out of

885
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 2: the playoff if they lose to BYU.

886
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so.

887
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 2: So the Big Twelve could essentially steal a second bid

888
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: if BYU beats Texas Tech. I think the Big Twelve

889
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: is a two bid league Texas Tech. Case takes care

890
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: of BYU, then it doesn't matter. But what I do

891
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: think is interesting when you look at championship weekend Austin,

892
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's not playing football this weekend. Texas A and M

893
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 2: is not playing football this weekend. Old Miss is not

894
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: playing football. Oregon is not playing football. They make up five, six, seven,

895
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: eight in the rankings. Alabama is number nine at ten

896
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: and two. I would believe if Alabama wasn't playing in

897
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: the SEC Title game this weekend, they would be in

898
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff. But because they're in, it sure

899
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: feels to me like they have to beat Georgia because

900
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 2: if three losses, I think they'll be out. You could

901
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 2: legitily make the case that in Alabama stance, it hurts

902
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: them playing in the SEC Title game.

903
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: And there's nothing they can do about it. That's just

904
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 3: kind of how it is.

905
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: But if they lose their out when they're in regardless,

906
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 2: But I think if they were neutral this weekend, I

907
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: think they'd be in.

908
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: I think their body of work would would would agree

909
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 3: with that. Maybe so, But you don't want to leave

910
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 3: it up to something weird happening. You don't want to

911
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 3: leave it up to Okay, maybe b WHYU does beat

912
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: Texas Tech or you know, however it might work out

913
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: to where you can get bumped out for being idle.

914
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 3: So as difficult as a task as it is to

915
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 3: go to Atlanta and beat Georgia, Sure you can remove

916
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 3: all doubt by beating Georgia. Yes, And this is the

917
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: reality of the Southeastern Conference. This is the conference that

918
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: you talk about and everybody you know warships about being

919
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 3: such a great conference. Okay, well, now here's the opportunity

920
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 3: for you to This is part of it. You don't

921
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 3: necessarily have the same rules, and you have a bit

922
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: of a tougher path than everyone else.

923
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

924
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: The biggest winner of the last college football rankings, Arizona

925
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: moved up seven spots to number eighteen in the College

926
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: Football Playoff rankings. And they ask you one more question

927
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: on this As an Ohio State fan Austin and we

928
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: we brushed over this earlier in the way Ohio State

929
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 2: and Indiana or number one and two Ohio State in Indiana,

930
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 2: regardless of what happens on Saturday, are both in the

931
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: college football playoffs. How are you handling? From an Ohio

932
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: State standpoint? How are you handling the game Saturday?

933
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 3: Are you?

934
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 2: Are you unloading the playbook? Are you playing Vanilla as possible?

935
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: Because there is a likely there's there's a scenario where

936
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: you would turn around and play Indiana again, How are

937
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: you handling the game Saturday night?

938
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: If you're Ohio State? Well, I do think you wouldn't

939
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 3: turn around and play them in the same week. No,

940
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: not the same week, but you could. You could see

941
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 3: them again. I think it's it's likely that both of

942
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: these teams get by weeks no matter what happens, and

943
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 3: whoever wins, they basically flip spots from one to two.

944
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: I could see that you would basically, I think, determine

945
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 3: just how much you show and what exactly your plan

946
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: of attack is based off of what happens in the

947
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 3: games prior to you. That's what's nice is other than

948
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 3: who's the ACC game. ACC game is the only one

949
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 3: that that tips off or that play kicks off at

950
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 3: the same time. Yeah, I don't know. I think you

951
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: should always try to win, but we've seen in.

952
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: That agree try to win. But are you are you

953
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: exhausting all avenues of the playbook?

954
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that that either of these teams

955
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 3: would really have to. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know.

956
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by it because Kurt Signetti's offense is the

957
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 3: only one in the country that I feel really worried

958
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: about as an Ohio State fan. Like, obviously Matt Patricia

959
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 3: has done incredible work with that defense, but Kurt Signetti

960
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 3: is a great offensive mind. There's no other offense in

961
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: the country that like strikes fear into me like Indiana does,

962
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: even with Matt Patricia. So for that reason, you know,

963
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: does Kurt Signetti come out and try to prove a point?

964
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 3: Does he try to go thirteen to zero?

965
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 2: I think winning the Big Ten title for Indiana would

966
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 2: would mean a lot more huge deal. It would mean

967
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: a lot more huge deal for what it's worth.

968
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 3: I think the other thing too here is Ohio State

969
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: has been dealing with some injuries Carnell Tate, Yah Jeremiah Smith.

970
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: They're not one hundred percent healthy, so I think that

971
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: might play into it as well.

972
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: If you went by just the playoff rankings last night,

973
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State would await the winner of Oklahoma and Alabama

974
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 2: to play Texas Tech would await the winner of Oregon

975
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: and a conference champion that'll be decided this weekend.

976
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 3: More than likely two lanes.

977
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 2: Yes, Georgia the three seed would await Old Miss or

978
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 2: another one of those conference champions, and then Indiana would

979
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: await the winner of Notre Dame and Texas A and M.

980
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 2: That is how the four teams with the buye would

981
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: currently play out in the college football playoff.

982
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: Let's ge that being said, if I'm Ohio State, I

983
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 3: would rather, I think right now, play the winner of

984
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 3: Notre Dame in Texas AM.

985
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely I would agree one hundred percent and like the same.

986
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: What's in all of this is what does a committee

987
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 2: do with Old Miss now that they don't have a coach?

988
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: You know, does something happen over the weekend that Old

989
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: Miss could fall in this? I don't think so, but

990
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,479
Speaker 2: it is interesting to see where they would they would

991
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: go with that let's switch gears. Let's talk some college
