1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: I pressed the microphon record you message as then and 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: done them a sprinkle spring, cold, drip owlish that temple 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: to be. It's a favorite. Sorry, three six days stay 4 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: you play at backs on your screen and trying not 5 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: to sanitize it. 6 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: I will play the talkbacks on my screen in just 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: a moment. In case you missed it. Breaking news, the 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: Bengals have traded for a quarterback. They are trading for 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight eighteenth overall pick in the first 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: round from the University of Delaware, Joe Flacco six foot six, 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: two hundred and forty five pound, big fella. So far 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: this season, in a couple of games with the Browns, 13 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: Joe has thrown for eight hundred and fifteen yards, two touchdowns, 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: and six interceptions. He has a QBR of twenty seven 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: point six. It's thirty first in the NFL. You might 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: imagine who's thirty two. I don't know. You might imagine. 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: In his four games so far this season, Flacco against 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: the Bengals was thirty one of forty five two hundred 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: and ninety yards, one touchdown, two picks in a forty 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: one seventeen loss to Baltimore. Against that terrible secondary, Flacco 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: was twenty five of forty five for one hundred and 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: ninety nine yards, one touchdown, one pick. In the thirteen 23 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: to ten win over Green Bay, Flacco was twenty one 24 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: of thirty six for one hundred and forty two yards, 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: no touchdowns, one pick, and in the loss to Detroit 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: last week or two weeks ago, Flacco was sixteen of 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: thirty four for one hundred and eighty four yards, no touchdowns, 28 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: two picks. He was sacked twice by the Bengals, twice 29 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: by the Ravens, twice by the and three times by 30 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. As a whole this season, he's completing 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: fifty eight point one percent of his passes for an 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: average of five point one yards per completion. This is 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: by no means an elite quarterback that they are acquiring here, however, 34 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: for a pick swap at that sheet price. And I 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: mean it when I say, surely they can't be worse. 36 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Surely he can't be worse than Jake Browning. That's what 37 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: I'm going off of. Now. You talk about the idea 38 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: of it being a difficult week to come in and 39 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: get ready and play the Green Bay Packers, it's also 40 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: made harder by the fact that the Browns played in 41 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: London last week, Like two days ago, they played in London, 42 00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: and so Flacco returning back from London is pretty amazing. Okay, 43 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: all right, let's do talkbacks. I'm gonna play him in 44 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: reverse order so we get the immediate reaction from the 45 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco news. 46 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: I wouldn't doubt it if Flaco started Sunday against the Packers. 47 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: How hard can it be to pick up Zach Taylor's 48 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: elementary offense? He'd probably get that in a day and 49 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: a half. 50 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: What a day. 51 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: Man. 52 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: If you had to ask me what quarterback in the 53 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: league would the Bengals trade for? I never would have 54 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: thought it'd be Joe Flaco. 55 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't either, I really wouldn't. And according to Diana 56 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: Russini of The Athletic, she says the Bengals internally discussed 57 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: different options at quarterback, and she is told that the 58 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: team never called the Giants about trading for either Russell 59 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: Wilson or Jameis Winston. So take that with what you will. Wait, 60 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: who are we signing? 61 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: Joe Namath? 62 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: Sweet? 63 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 5: No, I name it Joe Montana Awesome? Wait no, Joe Sisman. Yes, wait, no, 64 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 5: Joe Joe Flacco. Oh my god, I take back everything 65 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 5: I've ever said about Mike Brown. 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Let's go. 67 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 6: So we need help at quarterback, and their answer to 68 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 6: that is to ask Cleveland. Okay, uh yeah, sure, I 69 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 6: mean they know how to identify quarterback. Tell it right, 70 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 6: Let's take one of the guys that yeah they cast off. 71 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that pretty much perfectly sums it up. 72 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 7: Still repping in Nattie out here in sunny hot zone. 73 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 8: And what up, Oddie? 74 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm confused. 75 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 8: Wacko Flaco, real talk. 76 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 7: We just signed Wacko Flaco from that team up north. 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 7: They must be desperate, because we're desperate too. And I 78 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 7: don't know about this. I don't know if he's the 79 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 7: answer or not. But I know one thing. JB six 80 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 7: stinks and looking at JB nine in that boot man 81 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 7: hurts my feelings. 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: Man, can't wait till he gets back. 83 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 7: We saw miss Joe Burrow. 84 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: Wacko Flacco. We really got Wacko Flacco. Oh no, Wacko Flacco. 85 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 7: What's us off of this? 86 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 9: Joe in Baltimore. 87 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 7: There was a time here, not too long ago, in 88 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 7: this city with Wacko for Flacco. 89 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: Whoa I guess now it's Cincinnati. We are wacko for Flacco. 90 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 9: I don't know how it's gonna go, but whatever they're trying. 91 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: Who day, No, that's true. I can at least understand 92 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: that they are trying. They may not be making an 93 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: educated guess, but they're making a guess. 94 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 10: I just heard the news about the Bengals trading for 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 10: Joe Flacco. Yeah, oh my god, they're gonna get this 96 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 10: guy killed. Say your prayers, Joe, good luck, buddy. Yeah. 97 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: When you look at the advanced statistics Joe Flacco career 98 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: statistics under pressure from twenty twenty two to twenty five, 99 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: it's not good. It's it's actually quite bad. It was 100 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: especially really bad this year. 101 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: Okay, it's the Lord. We're getting Joe Flacco. Hey, that's 102 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 4: better than Jake Browning. Do you know if he's going 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 4: to start right away or do we have to go 104 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 4: through another week of Jake Browning? Please say no. I'd 105 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 4: rather have Joe. 106 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: Hard to say. It's it's really hard to say. It 107 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: just depends how you know he shows up and what 108 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: he can do and how he takes to the offense. 109 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: I'll know. 110 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 11: I have no idea dB fifteen otter So's coach Zach 111 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 11: Taylor says that Joe Flacco can make all of Rosen 112 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 11: there's nothing he hasn't seen. Well, in my opinion, I 113 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 11: don't know if he can throw from his back because 114 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 11: that's probably where he's gonna be. What the Bingers offensive line, 115 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 11: and they also said he like to do he's good 116 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 11: from the play action. Well, does Zach Taylor have any 117 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 11: play action plays in his playbook? Just wondering anyhow, Whoda 118 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 11: good reds, good bearcuats. 119 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's actually funny about that. I saw statistic 120 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: the other day. Joe Burrow last year about twenty five 121 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: percent of his dropbacks were play action pass. Jake Browning 122 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: has been about thirty five percent, so ten percent more 123 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: often play action pass. Now that's not usually under center, 124 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: which is a big difference. 125 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 9: But and I was watching that game last night, and 126 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 9: as good as it was, I was starting to think 127 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 9: Trevor Lawrence is just a more mobile and a Dalton 128 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 9: until he gets off the ground and runs in for 129 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 9: a game winning touchdowns. So kodos to him for that. 130 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 9: No shot at Andy, Just a thought about Trevor Lawrence 131 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 9: and Joe Flacco. Former Super Bowl winning quarterback granted thirteen 132 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 9: years ago, but definitely probably that great over Browning. Let's 133 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 9: see how this plays out now. Flaco is only one 134 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 9: team away from playing for everyone. 135 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: Yes, yes he is. Maybe he replaces Aaron Rodgers next year. 136 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 12: Hey, Austin with the addition of Flacco, Taylor is gonna 137 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 12: have to change the offensive scheme and play calling. Otherwise 138 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 12: he's gonna only bury himself. He's got no one to 139 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 12: blame now but himself. Whod Yeah. 140 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: I think that that becomes really interesting because if if 141 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 2: the idea is to operate the offense that I swear 142 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: man and I know Tony made a breakdown of this 143 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: on his social media, Like, there are plays that were 144 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: there and Jake Browning didn't make the throw and there 145 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: were times that he wasn't pressured had he had time, 146 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: and he knew how to make the decision. You're banking 147 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: on Joe Flacco can make the throw. He knows where 148 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: to go with the ball, He understands the leverage of 149 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: the cornerback, where the safety's at, whether he can or 150 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: cannot fit a ball in, how quickly he can get 151 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: the ball down to his checkdoun Like, at the bare minimum, 152 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: you're just saying, Okay, this guy can operate the offense better. 153 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: Then you start building around what he's good at, which 154 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 2: is play action under center, that sort of stuff. Now, 155 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: does Joe Flacco make you a better running football team? Though? 156 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 2: Probably not? 157 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 8: But you know, hey, Austin, it's Jim and having heard 158 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 8: just now about the addition of Joe Flacco, I'm double dipping. 159 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 8: This is not vanilla. I don't want vanilla on my 160 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 8: double dip. I want thirty one flavors with sprinkles and 161 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 8: nuts and syrup. This is a pws ullanimous maneuver. 162 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: I can honestly say I have never heard that word 163 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: puce and puse. 164 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 13: This is DJ just just heard the news about the 165 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 13: Bengals trading for Joe Flacco. Man, if that isn't Bengal, Like, 166 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 13: you know, let's take a forty year old statue that 167 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 13: somebody in our division is willing to give away, and that's. 168 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 14: What we're gonna do to move forward. What a freaking 169 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 14: joke that is? The circus will continue, listen. 170 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: I understand, And I am especially bothered by the fact 171 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: that they didn't even reach out to the Giants about 172 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: Russell or Jamis. I'm bothered by that. I think you 173 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: should be bothered by that. However, I will not criticize 174 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 2: them for trying something because you and me and anybody 175 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: who has two eyeballs in a brain between their ears 176 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 2: knew that Jake Browning couldn't continue as the quarterback just 177 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: couldn't happen. He was awful. I mean, think of all 178 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: the terrible quarterback performances over the course of this franchise's 179 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: history that you've witnessed. Jake Browning delivered one of those 180 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: on Sunday, one of the worst ever. So you can't 181 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: just stand pat with what you've got. You can't. It's 182 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: just not going to happen now, not going for at 183 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: least Russell or Jamis. I think that to miss. I 184 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: disagree with that mindset, but you at least have somebody 185 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: and I can appreciate that. Well, see how it works. 186 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: It's too early to tell what exactly is going to 187 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: mean and how it's going to work. I hear you. 188 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 2: It's way too early to be that upset because I 189 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: literally cannot believe that Joe Flacco is that much worse 190 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 2: than Jake Browning. Maybe he will be, and maybe I'll 191 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: be wrong, but I can if nothing else. Appreciate the effort. 192 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: We'll take a break, we'll come back with football in 193 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: the Natti. This is the funniest season ever. I Love 194 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: the Bengals. On ESPN fifteen thirty
