There's 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: a lot that uh that maybe we can do here 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: for uh, sorry I didn't laugh for uh for now, 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: the head ball coach of the twenty first ranked Cincinnati Bearcats. 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: After a uh resounding win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: the Bearcats now travel home. They have begun their preparations 29 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 3: for Baylor. Baylor is a football team that can fill 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: it up offensively, not a great defensive team, but they 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: can score and have scored with anybody that they've won 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: up against this year. We'll discuss more of that, but 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: first here's the head football coach, Scott Saderfield, speaking to 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: members of the media earlier today. 35 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, just you know, first of all, going back to 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 5: last week, proud of our guys go on the road 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 5: in a big twelve to get a win. As always hard, 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 5: you know, but I thought our guys were very resilient 39 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 5: in that game, went out and played played hard, played 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 5: physical all the way through the end. Thought, you know, 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 5: there's a point in time there in the second half 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 5: where the game really could have went either way, and 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 5: you know, proud of our guys and how we finished 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 5: the fourth quarter getting a couple of turnovers including the 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 5: pick six, you know, and then you know, just finishing 46 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 5: it off I thought, I thought it was a great 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 5: environment as home coming out there in Oklahoma State, and 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 5: you know, but really proud of the way that we 49 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 5: finished out that game. And you know, looking forward to 50 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 5: this week, you know, playing Baylor, a very talented team. 51 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 5: Coach Horanda's done a great job with this team. I 52 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: think you go back to last year when they won 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 5: six in a row to finish the season, and this 54 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 5: year have been in every game, including lost some very 55 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 5: close games as well. Outstanding offense, number one passing offense 56 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: in the country, the quarterbacks, an outstanding player. They had 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 5: some great talent on the outside with some wide receiver play, 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 5: good running back defense, of aggressive defense that has done 59 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 5: a really nice job on that side of the ball 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 5: as well. And I think their special teams are very 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 5: very solh So, I mean a complete team. It'll take 62 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 5: a great effort out of our guys this week in 63 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 5: practice to get ready to go play this team. 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think only twenty seven snaps for Dante last week? 65 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 6: Is that just load management? Is the ankle still not 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 6: all the way back? Is it a little of both? 67 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean probably a little both. Uh, you know, 68 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 5: trying to work him back in and and and obviously 69 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 5: he's not one hundred percent. I think if you see 70 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 5: watch the film you can see that. And but but 71 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 5: obviously having his presence out there and being around our 72 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 5: guys is huge for us, you know. So but but yeah, 73 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: I mean I think if you even go back, I mean, 74 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 5: he's not probably not playing more than thirty five snaps anyway. 75 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 5: So normally we rotate a lot of guys up front. 76 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 5: We're going to rotate a lot of linebackers. I mean, 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 5: you know, anytime there's a change for offensive personnel, then 78 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 5: we're going to rotate. So so we're always going to 79 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 5: continue to do that. But but hopefully each and every 80 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 5: week as we go through the remainder of this season 81 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 5: that that hopefully he's healing up, you know, better and better. 82 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 6: How much of their success in the run game was 83 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 6: maybe showing stuff that they hadn't put on tape with 84 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 6: a new play caller. Was there anything to that or 85 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 6: did they just they had a really good time. 86 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 5: I think they did a good job with what they did. Offensively, 87 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 5: they were more sound. I think offensually got into some 88 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 5: unbalanced personnel. A couple of plays that got out on 89 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: us I thought was a crack replaced where we didn't replace, 90 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 5: and they had a forty one yard run on that. 91 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 5: A couple of times we didn't spill the blocker on 92 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 5: the interieror and they popped a couple of runs. So 93 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 5: really a couple of runs we didn't fit right. But 94 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 5: I bet again give them some credit. I thought. I 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 5: thought it running back ran hard. I thought the offensive 96 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 5: line blocked well. And then the quarterback, you know, he 97 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 5: presents problems because he's very athletic. Once he got out 98 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 5: and got loose a few times, you know, picked up 99 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 5: a few rushing yards, scored a touchdown, you know. So, 100 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 5: but I do think there were a lot more sound 101 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: in their in their game planning for this. This is 102 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 5: the first time that the new play caller was calling. 103 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 5: I thought you did a good job. Yeah. 104 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: Soresby's ability to distribute the ball to different people, is 105 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: that something I don't know if you can coach that 106 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 4: or is that just based on game plans each week? 107 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: How was how's he done so well there? 108 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's done a really good job with that, 109 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: just because it comes back to taking what the defense 110 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 5: gives us. You know, I think in the past I've 111 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 5: had I've had maybe you know, where there's one or 112 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 5: two guys we want to get the ball to, and 113 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 5: so we just keep calling the plays for those one 114 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 5: or two guys. That's not been the case this year. 115 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 5: I feel like we were blessed to have a bunch 116 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 5: of guys that can make plays, and so this year 117 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 5: it's more about calling to play because we like the 118 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 5: way the play looks against that defense, and then not 119 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 5: really caring where the ball goes, like, all right, what 120 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: is the defense doing? Who are they covering? Hit the 121 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 5: ball to the to the uncovered guy. And I think 122 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 5: that's why you've been able to see the distribution of 123 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 5: the ball, you know, with a bunch of different guys 124 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: making some great catches, a couple of running backs that 125 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 5: can make plays for us, you got it, you know, 126 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 5: the tight ends or making plays, and so I think 127 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 5: it's very difficult to defend that when you have so 128 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 5: many guys that are making plays, and doesn't you know 129 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: a great example is Cyrus Allen had one catch last 130 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 5: week and in this past game, you know, he gets 131 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 5: three touchdowns. I mean, so you just never know when 132 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 5: the ball is gonna find you, but when it does, 133 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 5: you have to be prepared and ready to go make 134 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 5: a play Scott. 135 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 7: With you guys on a six game winning streak, how 136 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 7: much fun are you having coaching this team right now? 137 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 7: Is they just continue to stack wins and now being ineligible. 138 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it goes back to really back to 139 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 5: this summer with these guys. I mean, these guys are 140 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 5: fun to be around. They're you know, just being hanging 141 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 5: out in the building here. We've been saying this all 142 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 5: summer of how we love being around the guys and 143 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 5: they love being around each other, sitting in this you know, 144 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 5: obviously awesome building that we're in here, and then you know, 145 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 5: as you start playing and winning, obviously winning's fun. But 146 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 5: but what's fun about our guys too, is is just 147 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 5: the week, Like the week preparation like like it's fun 148 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 5: of Tuesdays practice and Wednesday's practice and then getting a 149 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 5: Thursday and Friday. Like it's just fun being around them 150 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 5: because they're they're so intentional in their work of what 151 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 5: they're putting in and the routine. That's that's what's fun. 152 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 8: You know. 153 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: I think Saturday is just showing them, you know, just 154 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 5: the fruit of all the labor they're putting in throughout the. 155 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 9: Whole get the win to turnover battle again, how did 156 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 9: it feel to be able to have the ball bounce 157 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 9: you guys as a way you know, earlier in the 158 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 9: season it's a few fumble forced fumbles, what they bounced 159 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 9: right back into the teams, you know, hand, you know, 160 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 9: just how did it feel to win that back? 161 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 5: Well, that's outstanding. And to finally get an interception was 162 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: was very joyful to say the least. And then you know, 163 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 5: when we do him sitting the sideline, you know, it 164 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 5: felt like you've had a chance to score, which was great. 165 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 5: It's you know, I think a lot of the coaches 166 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 5: have talked about it sometimes just the law of averages. 167 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: Sometimes it doesn't go your way, eventually it will and 168 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 5: we finally got some this this past week. But that's 169 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: a huge deal. Like to me, it's one of the 170 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: number one stats. You got to look at us turnover marks. 171 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 5: It's gonna give you the best opportunity and chance to 172 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 5: win games if you can take care of the football 173 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 5: and then obviously if you can create some turnovers. And 174 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: we've done a good job this year defensively of of 175 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 5: you know, punching out the ball, creating some fumbles, you know, 176 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 5: and and again, we got one Saturday with the with 177 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: the bad snap and then you know, getting the interception 178 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 5: was huge in the fourth quarter because you know that 179 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 5: that game was was kind of back and forth in 180 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 5: the third and then were able to blow it open 181 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter because of those those mishaps. 182 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 6: How much does it help that your pressure rates not 183 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 6: doesn't jump off the page at you, but your sack 184 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 6: rate has been you know, a lot better than the 185 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 6: pressure rate, I guess would indicate how much of a 186 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 6: help has that been. You haven't been able to force 187 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 6: the turnovers at the rate you'd like maybe, but you 188 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 6: have been able to get to the quarterback. 189 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know we're we're picking and 190 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 5: choosing when we're gonna get to a quarterback. I mean, 191 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 5: there's just a fine line in there where you know, 192 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 5: if you bring pressure, you know they if they get 193 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: get out on you, then it's probably going to the touchdown, 194 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 5: you know, so, but if you don't, then you can 195 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 5: keep everything in front of It's just a fine line, 196 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 5: you know. Obviously we'd love to shut them down every 197 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 5: play and get sacks and turnovers. I mean that's what 198 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 5: in everybody you know, I think, But you have to 199 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 5: be calculated in what you're doing. Uh, you know, I 200 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 5: thought Saturday, one time we brought a bunch of pressure. 201 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 5: The quarterback gets out and he launches one about fifty 202 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: five yards near and it hitting on the sideline. Was 203 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 5: a big play form great play by the quarterback and receiver. 204 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 5: But you know, we tried to get after him right there. 205 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 5: But other times we've not. We've just rushed three and 206 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 5: then have that linebacker spot and we've been able to 207 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 5: get some pressure that way. So I do think, you know, 208 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: we have to continue to mix it up. We do 209 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: have to get some pressure on the quarterback. They can't 210 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: sit back there all day. I mean, these guys were playing, 211 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: especially the next five quarterbacks we're playing, are really good, 212 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 5: you know, as we finish out this season. So there'll 213 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 5: be a big test for us this week playing this offense. 214 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 6: How much different is it going you face the last 215 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 6: two quarterbacks or looking to get out of the pocket scramble. 216 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 6: Baylor's not really looking to get out of the pocket 217 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 6: and run around. They're looking to push the thing down 218 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 6: the field and make plays over the top of you. 219 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 6: How much different for your defense is that during the week? 220 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a difference for sure. 221 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 5: You know, Central Florida's guy could really run, you know, 222 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 5: and then of course last week this guy could run 223 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 5: as well. So yeah, I mean this quarterback at Bader's 224 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 5: looking to throw the ball down the field. They do 225 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 5: get rid of the ball pretty quick. They have some 226 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 5: really good weapons on the outside. So yes, you got 227 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: to defend it a little bit different, I think, you know, 228 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: so defensively, you know, you don't have to worry about 229 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 5: the quarterback taking off and running and getting yards from you. 230 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 5: But there's different things that we have to worry about, 231 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 5: you know, the accuracy that he has, the strong arm 232 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: that he has the ability to throw the ball down 233 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 5: the field in tight windows, you know where maybe the 234 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: last two that couldn't do that. So there's just some 235 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 5: differences that you're gonna have to defend more so than 236 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 5: the q run. 237 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 9: Baylor's you know, they score a lot of points, there's 238 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 9: no no qualms about it, but they give up a 239 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 9: lot of points. 240 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 10: You know. 241 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 9: I see their their run defenses, they normally give up 242 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 9: close to two hundred yards. Like, how do you with 243 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 9: you guys's Lyne, how do you kind of look at 244 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 9: that and just say, hey, you know, Saturday, we can 245 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 9: probably take advantage of that. 246 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm looking at the film 247 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: and I see watching their defense, and I think the 248 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 5: defense is very good. I'm trying to find the yards 249 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 5: that they're giving up because you start watching these cut 250 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 5: ups and it's like they're not really giving up a lot. 251 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: Doesn't look like to me. I think they're very sound. 252 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: I think there their d line gets after. I think 253 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 5: number zero is a really good player. I think number 254 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 5: eleven there's an outstanding linebacker, all big twelve linebacker. They're 255 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 5: athletic in the back end, you know. But you're right, 256 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 5: I mean they they have given up some points, you know, 257 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 5: But but they're in every game. I mean they're they're 258 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 5: literally in every game. Like last week, You're watching that 259 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 5: game and it was three minutes to go, and every 260 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 5: down twenty one, I'm thinking, oh, this game is over. 261 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 5: Well TCU fumbles, they pick it up and run it in, 262 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 5: they get an on side. I mean, they're really right 263 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 5: back in the game. It's incredible. So, you know, a 264 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: league's not never good enough. I don't think to say 265 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: against against this team. The way they can move the ball, 266 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 5: the way they can score, you know, very scary team 267 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 5: for sure, Scott. 268 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 7: When you look at your team, does it look like 269 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 7: to you with the expectations coming in season from the 270 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 7: outside maybe not being as high as what you guys 271 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 7: have been performing at. Is this team playing with a 272 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 7: chip on their shoulder? Are they just playing for each 273 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 7: other and seeing, let's see how good we can be? 274 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're absolutely playing a chip on their 275 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 5: shoulder for sure. I think each and every time we 276 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: go out on the practice field or game field, we 277 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 5: got something to prove. And I think that's the way 278 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 5: they're preparing and that's what they're trying to do in 279 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 5: the games, you know, trying to prove something. And I 280 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 5: think whenever anytime you have that mentality, then you're going 281 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 5: to give yourself a chance. And I really so we 282 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: talk about this every week and like two we're like 283 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 5: numb talking about how it's all about our process. It's 284 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 5: all about how we prepare, It's how we take care 285 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 5: of our bodies throughout the week. It's about Tuesdays practices 286 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 5: like game game day for us today, you know, so, 287 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 5: so there s tony things. I think it's this team 288 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 5: has done a great job of the preparation throughout the week, 289 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 5: which is showing up on game. 290 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 2: Day last year. 291 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: All right, that is most of Scott's ciderfield. Speaking to 292 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 3: members of media earlier this afternoon, how about that Austin 293 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 3: Baylor number one passing offense in the country. 294 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: You could have given me a ton of guesses, guest 295 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 4: Baylor would not have guessed Baylor coming into Cincinnati four 296 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: and three. 297 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: They lost to Auburn, They lost to Arizona State twenty 298 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 3: seven to twenty four, and then a forty two to 299 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: thirty six loss at TCU. Their wins thirty five thirty 300 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: four over Kansas State, forty five twenty seven over Oklahoma 301 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 3: State at the time seventeenth ranked SMU. They beat them 302 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 3: forty eight to forty five, so they are equipped to 303 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 3: win in a shootout. UC's defense is going to have 304 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: to be better than what they have been in recent weeks. 305 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: But the one resounding thing I take from this team, 306 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: and I talked about it a little bit on Saturday 307 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: with Dan. Every team to start the year they have 308 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 3: goals to win a championship, conference championship. Now everyone says it, 309 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: it's different when you can see a team start to 310 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: believe it and watching how you see and the players talk, 311 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 3: watching how they prepare, watching how they play, like I 312 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 3: genuinely feel like this is a team that thinks they 313 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 3: can go win the Big twelve championship, and that confidence 314 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: puts them at a level to where they can go 315 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: and compete week in and week out, and I view 316 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 3: them as doing that. I genuinely think each game they play, 317 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: they have a great chance to go win it. That 318 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: starts with Saturday, four o'clock Nippers Stadium against Baylor. 319 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: Take a break. 320 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: I look forward to your comprehensive breakdown of the three 321 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: three five defense tomorrow. Yep, I'm ready for that. I 322 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 4: know Tyson Vite is a fan of the show. 323 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: Love Coach Fight. 324 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: Don't be afraid to you know, you don't be afraid 325 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: to be critical. I'll say one teaser about the three 326 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: three five. Okay, it's a lot easier to be successful 327 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: with the three three five when Dante Corleon's that knows, 328 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: when Dante Corleone is not there, makes up three three 329 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: five a little bit more vulnerable. 330 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 4: Little more barbecue chicken, barbo chicken. 331 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that tomorrow.

That's what it is? Hey, You know you 347 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 8: were talking about anyway, You got a lot of heartwarming 348 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 8: support calls there today. Now, yeah, let's just don't let's 349 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 8: just don't let those hat sizes get any bigger. Okay, 350 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 8: you can't. 351 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: Get any bigger on this one. Say, Tony's got a 352 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: huge melon. 353 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 8: I never thought of it that big. 354 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: Well, I was frowning, but maybe you did. 355 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 8: Oh it's it's actually you're metaphorically speaking. Okay, here we go. 356 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 8: So you were talking about Burrow and Placo talking on 357 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 8: the sideline, and I can understand that because Joe Burrow 358 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 8: is going to tell him the idiosyncrasies of this offense, 359 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 8: you know, all that with with the receivers helping him 360 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 8: figure out options and what have you. But let's face it, 361 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 8: Joe Blacko could give uh, Joe Burrow a lesson on 362 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 8: playing quarterback because he's been doing it twice as long. 363 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: I mean, he's seen Yeah, he's he's seen stuff because 364 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: of the time he's been in the league that that 365 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: few other quarterbacks have seen. So I made I made 366 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: the case yesterday with me if I'm the Bengals, depending 367 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: on regardless of what happens going forward, if Joe Flacco 368 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: is interested in playing football or being around football next year, 369 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 3: I could think of no better player to slide in 370 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: as a backup role than having Joe Flacco in Cincinnati. 371 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: If it were behind Joe. 372 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 8: Burrow, Oh that would be awesome. And if Joe keeps 373 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 8: you performing, Joe Flacco, this is getting hard Burrow and Flaco, 374 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 8: Jojo if Blato keeps going, It's not like Joe Burrow 375 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 8: won't be able. 376 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 3: To get his job back, right, Yeah, yeah, it's it's 377 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 3: never going to get to that point. But what it 378 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: does do, if Flaco can perform the way that people 379 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 3: are hoping, it would give a little bit more of 380 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 3: an indication or more of a push to see, Okay, 381 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: can Burrow really get back this year? Because when Browning 382 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 3: was in there, it was I wouldn't even worry about 383 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: Joe coming back this year. Get to the end of 384 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: the season if they can replicate what they were able 385 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 3: to do on Thursday. All of a sudden, the conversation 386 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: turns to, Okay, is there a legit possibility that Joe 387 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: comes back? And if so, what can that look like 388 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 3: with with where the team stands. 389 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 8: It all depends on that running game. As you guys 390 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 8: stress all the time, the running game and the defense. 391 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 8: You know, you said you're not quite sold on Sam Darnold, 392 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 8: but I'll tell you right now, I'd take him over 393 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 8: Jordan Love. 394 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 3: He's shown more consistency to be honest and love. I 395 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 3: just I hate how Darnold finished the year last year 396 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: because he had so much going and then he just 397 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: struggled down the stretch in those big games. But I 398 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: think he's he's surrounded by a good spot in Sya. 399 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: Out of they got a good defense. I like the coach, 400 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: and how can you not like what you have in 401 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 3: Jackson Smith. 402 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 2: And Jigba. 403 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 8: And the way did Chiefs look? Now? 404 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 11: Good luck rest Chiefs. 405 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: Chiefs now most said it yesterday. It felt like the 406 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 3: Chiefs opened the door for others to kind of kick 407 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: it down, and no one kicked it down. And now 408 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: the Chiefs are back. 409 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 8: The boy, are they ever back? And I'm looking at 410 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 8: a rams sheet super Bowl. I think that's what it. 411 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: Might end up being. 412 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 8: I hope to hope. So anyway, can I talk a 413 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 8: little baseball playoffs? Do you mind? 414 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 2: Sure? 415 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 8: Okay, this Dodger pitching staff, as I told you, they 416 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 8: finally got healthy, and that little small ball that Toronto 417 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 8: plays is really fun and it's and they score runs. 418 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 8: They do a good job. They Guerrero's the power hitter 419 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 8: for real. He's been on such a blistering pace. I 420 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 8: don't see that continuing at four forty two or whatever 421 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 8: they're always doing. But the Dodger starters have a one 422 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 8: point four oh e er after the first ten playoff games. 423 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 8: And Tasaki, who's normally a starter right as the closer, 424 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 8: now his RA through those first ten games is one 425 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 8: point twenty nine. So good good luck Toronto hitting this team. 426 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 8: And uh and I Toronto's yeah, it's okay, it's sue 427 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 8: the average, it's about it. So what do you guys 428 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 8: think about this upcoming World Series. 429 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: I Toronto has been the best hitting team average wise 430 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. They were also the best hitting team 431 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: throughout the regular season in Major League Baseball. They hit 432 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: it two sixty five. Dodgers weren't far behind it at 433 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: two fifty three. It's it is the home runs, and 434 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 3: there is a significant gap between what Toronto was able 435 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: to do one hundred ninety one, which isn't anything to 436 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: scoff at. That's eleventh in Major League Baseball. But the Dodgers, 437 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 3: they just changed the game with the home run ball. 438 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 3: I think I think an interesting factor in this series 439 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: coming up. Bobashett has been out with the knee injury. 440 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 3: If Bobaschet can get out and be anything what he 441 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: was during the regular season, I think it makes that 442 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 3: line up a lot tougher. But again, the star power 443 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: for me still resides on the Dodgers side, and I 444 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: would I would lean Dodgers in this series. 445 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 4: Me, it's like, can Vladdie keep up with showhey? Because 446 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 4: Show Hae is gonna do some crazy stuff. He's going 447 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 4: to hit some homers. He's the best player on planet Earth. 448 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 4: Can Vladdie match his star power with some big moments 449 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 4: and some big hits and some big home runs for 450 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 4: Toronto as well? So for me, I'm just most excited 451 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 4: to see those two guys the stars and see them 452 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 4: go ahead to head both especially when Haes on the 453 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: mountain two. 454 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 5: You got it? 455 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 8: That's what That's just what I was gonna say. The 456 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 8: difference between Joy and everybody is he can pitch as 457 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 8: good as anybody. He could win a cy Young if 458 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 8: he was just a pitcher. I'm sure of it. I 459 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 8: just hope it's a good series. I hope it goes 460 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 8: seven games so we get more and more baseball and 461 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 8: can I can I real quick go over the rest 462 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 8: of the Bengals schedule with you? You got another minute? Yeah? 463 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: We got a minute. 464 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 8: Hell no, I don't know where I put my phone. 465 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 8: I hit it down in my phone. 466 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: Well you probably have it there Jets, Bears, Steelers are 467 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 4: the next three. 468 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, I got them beaten the Jets, but the 469 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 8: Jets saying no pushover like Austin was mentioning, I got 470 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 8: him losing to the Bears. The Bears I think are 471 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 8: on an uptick and they are dangerous, and they've got 472 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 8: seven or eight guys who may be all pros this year. 473 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: So four and five at the bye and then at 474 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 4: Pittsburgh home against New England at Baltimore. 475 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 8: I don't got him beating the Patriots if they keep 476 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 8: on this track they're going, and if if their quarterback 477 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 8: keeps playing the way he is, that's kind of a 478 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 8: tough game. 479 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah it is at home. 480 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 8: Though, right it is, So that's a blessing. And then 481 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 8: we got to play Baltimore twice. But what to make 482 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 8: of Baltimore? 483 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 5: Do you? 484 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 8: Everybody keeps saying they're gonna come on Tony, but in Austin, 485 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 8: but I don't just don't see it. 486 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: Well, this weekend. You'll learn a lot this weekend because 487 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 3: they play the Bears. So something's got to give. The 488 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: Bears have won four in a row. Baltimore is skidding. 489 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: I think we get to see how legitimate the Bears 490 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: are and if the Ravens have any fight left in 491 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 3: him on Sunday. 492 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, is Lamar coming back this week? 493 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: Unclear? 494 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 4: He didn't practice yesterday apparently, so uh that doesn't mean 495 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 4: that much though, because they're coming off of bye week. 496 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: But it's unclear. 497 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 3: Still was and No, I think Dolphins, Cardinals, Brown's down 498 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: the stretch. Arizona has shown flashes, but they just don't 499 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 3: make the plays necessary to win big games. Although they've 500 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 3: been in a lot of them. I still think they can. 501 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: They can win those three down the stretch if they're 502 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: in a position for meaningful football. 503 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, let's hope so, but Arizona does were any of 504 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 8: those last year?

Let's go question. 513 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 13: Yes, you guys, hypothetically, if Joe Flacco is playing elite 514 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 13: quarterback and I know this is kind of out there, 515 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 13: but indulge me. If the Bengals are eleven and three 516 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 13: and Joe Flacco. 517 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 12: Is playing an elite quarterback. 518 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 13: Position, Joe Burrow is healthy, who we play in that 519 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 13: circumstance a week fifteen? 520 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow? Yeah, Joe Burrow. Still it would still be 521 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. 522 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 8: Great. 523 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 12: I like to declice of this yep right to have 524 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 12: you back, Tony. 525 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: Thank you JT. 526 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 4: So it could be tough to be eleven and three 527 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 4: when you already got four losses. But yeah, Joe Burrow 528 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 4: is I think the best quarterback in the NFL and 529 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 4: makes it to five million dollars and just last year, 530 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: let the NFL in yours and touchdown passes. 531 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: Uh, for what it's worth. Let us not forget you 532 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: mentioned the Bear and the Ravens. Any guess what that's 533 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: spread is this weekend in Baltimore job Bears. 534 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it's in Baltimore. Yes, I'm gonna say 535 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 4: Chicago two and a half Baltimore minus six and a half. 536 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 4: I don't get that people still love the Ravens. That's 537 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: disrespectful to the Chicago Bears. 538 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: It is six and a half, is the line. 539 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 4: It is disrespectful to the Chicago Bears, who have won 540 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 4: four straight games now. They've played the Saints and Cowboys 541 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 4: and Raiders among three of those. But still don't I 542 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 4: don't understand six and a half. Chicago is fourteenth in 543 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 4: the NFL and passing yards per game, They're tenth in 544 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 4: the NFL in scoring offense, they're eighth in the NFL 545 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: and rushing yards per game, and their defense is not great. 546 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 4: They're giving up twenty five a game. That's twenty fifth 547 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: in the NFL. That's not a bad football team, and 548 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 4: Baltimore is worse. So riddle me this, batman. Any guess 549 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 4: what the current line is for Bears Bengals the following week. 550 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to say, keep in mind, Baltimore is six 551 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 3: and a half point favorite at home. I'm gonna say 552 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 3: Bengals three and a half. Bengals plus one and a half. Okay, 553 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 3: so a slight home dog. As I said, tells you 554 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: how they think about the Bengals exactly. We'll take a break, 555 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 3: we'll come back.

Yep? 607 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 2: I talked about this. 608 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: Uh, it just the Sunday slate wasn't great. 609 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: It just wasn't a great slate of games. 610 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, the way I view it is you're pushing everybody 611 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 4: towards these streaming platforms that you have, whether that be 612 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 4: NFL Plus or Paramount Plus or Sunday Ticket or YouTube 613 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 4: TV or whatever it is. And so people will do 614 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 4: that and they get any game anytime, and that's cool, 615 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 4: and that's great, and that's how I watch it. I 616 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 4: love to watch Red Zone when I'm not watching the 617 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 4: Bengals specifically, but there are a ton of people that 618 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 4: watch the game on TV with the regular package, and 619 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 4: because there are fewer games, there are fewer options for 620 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 4: them outside of their local team whenever their local team 621 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 4: may not be playing or is playing at a different 622 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 4: time that they don't really want to watch or have 623 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 4: the you know, the not interesting games, and so you're watering. 624 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: You're making that product, that version of your product, less 625 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 4: enjoyable to the very common fan. And then when you 626 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 4: think about your media partners and your whether it's YouTube 627 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: or Prime or whomever, like if if you're making so 628 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 4: many different games, two games on ESPN, two games in London, whatever, 629 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 4: like it makes it waters down that product too. Because 630 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 4: red zone I'm getting less games, yep, and I don't 631 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 4: like that. 632 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: This week no international game, Thursday night football, I think 633 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 3: an interesting one. Who do we think the Chargers are? 634 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 635 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 3: I thought for a while ahead of schedule, I think 636 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: they're hurt. I thought contending injuries have decimated them. Are 637 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 3: the four and three Panthers a thread at all to 638 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: the Bills? 639 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 4: No, I don't think I think the Bills are a 640 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 4: thread to the Bills. By the way, in that Thursday 641 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 4: night game, Kevin O'Connell said, Carson Wentz will start. Oh, 642 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 4: Max Brosmer will be the backup. JJ McCarthy really went 643 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 4: through a workout. Not quite there yet. 644 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be quite there for a while. 645 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: Oh boy. 646 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 3: Patriots, Browns Eagles Giants seven and a half. Do the 647 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 3: Giants like rally after that meltdown or do they go 648 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 3: in the other direction? Is this like a get right 649 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 3: game for the Eagles? 650 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 651 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 4: If i'd say that, I don't know they'd say it's 652 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 4: a get right game. I mean, I think you have 653 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 4: to pay a little bit more attention to the to 654 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 4: the Giants. I figured the Giants coming a little bit angry. Okay, 655 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 4: based off the way things happened Bears Ravens. We talked 656 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 4: about that one already. Is there a franchise Austin in 657 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 4: the NFL heading more in the wrong direction than the 658 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 4: Houston Texans? They were the darlings just a few years ago. 659 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 4: They are team. 660 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 3: Like that, that team that was so close that felt 661 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 3: like they were on the cusp, and now just moving 662 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 3: in the wrong direction. 663 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 4: I think Tennessee is moving in the wrong direction. I 664 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 4: think Miami is moving in the right the wrong direction. 665 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: Were they at the level of Texans where I mean 666 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 3: that the hype around Stroud, the hype around that team 667 00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 3: and four. 668 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 4: Still can't believe they what they did with their coaching 669 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 4: staff and their offensive line after that was just stupid moves. 670 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 4: But that guy, what's that guy's name who runs that 671 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 4: joint down there, who's a GM Nick Cassario, one of 672 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 4: those former Patriot guys.

Stroud also when he did that thing to Caleb Williams. Yeah, 678 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 4: didn't look good. 679 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: Changed him. 680 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 4: I also have seen the screenshot of c J. Stroud's 681 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 4: Instagram story from last year going around or he listed 682 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 4: the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Yeah, he put 683 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 4: himself number three. 684 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: Yep. 685 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 4: Not great. 686 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: Their siege. 687 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 3: You get the Bucks in the Saints, you get the 688 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 3: Cowboys and the Broncos, which I actually think is an 689 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: interesting one, Titans and Colts. That is a fourteen and 690 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: a half point spread on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium 691 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 3: Sunday Night Football Packers Steelers. Rogers going up against the Packers. 692 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 4: How about this? Two stats for you on this game. 693 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 4: The Packers have not beaten the Steelers in Pittsburgh since 694 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: Bart Starr was the quarterback. Wow, how about that? And 695 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 4: Steelers are wearing their throwback uniforms which feature a yellow helmet. 696 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 4: It'll be the first time since I don't know, maybe 697 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 4: the sixties. It would be a long long time. I 698 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 4: don't remember the exact date that there has been a 699 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 4: dual yellow helmet matchup man between those two teams. I 700 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 4: think back it's like the Super Bowl or something a 701 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 4: long time ago. These are the little things that I 702 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 4: care about. Jayden, Dan talked about soaking it all in. 703 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is right there, Jayde and Daniel's status 704 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 3: for Monday night football is uncertain. According to Dan Quinn. 705 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: Right now, they're a ten and a half point dog 706 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 3: against the Chiefs. Disappointed with how the Commanders have started 707 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 3: their season, Yeah, disappointed, but I wouldn't say surprised. Injuries 708 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: have been a part of their downfall as well. But 709 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 3: this just feels like a game the Chiefs win, and 710 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, here we are again talking about 711 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 3: the Chiefs of the team to be. 712 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 4: So the one o'clock slate Sunday, Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, New England, Okay, 713 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: that might actually be a good contest, and there's some 714 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 4: familiarity there with Mike Vrabel and that defense Giants Eagles. 715 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 4: I think those teams are both interesting. Buffalo, Carolina, don't care, Chicago, Baltimore, 716 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 4: San Francisco, Houston. Feels like it's going to be the 717 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 4: exact same game that Houston just played last night. 718 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:36,479 Speaker 2: Yep. 719 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 4: Four o'clock slate Tampa, New Orleans, No thank you, Dallas, Denver, Okay, Tennessee, Indy, 720 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 4: no thank you. 721 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 2: And that's it. 722 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, only three in the four o'clock windows because there 723 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 4: are six teams on a bye and there's a Thursday 724 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 4: and Monday game. But I think it's all gonna be 725 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 4: worth it. With Green Bay and Pittsburgh on Sunday night, 726 00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 4: a big one. 727 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 3: Lowest ticket available this weekend, have you seen it? 728 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: It's got to be Colts Titans. 729 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 4: They're the second lowest fifty one dollars tickets as low 730 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 4: as twenty six dollars to get you in to see 731 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 4: Tampa and New Orleans at the Dome. 732 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: Wow, people ain't gonna leave Bourbon Street to go in 733 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 3: there for that. 734 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: You wouldn't think.

The big important 773 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 4: people in the National Football League hide with the media today, 774 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 4: people like Jeff Miller, who's an injury guy. What about 775 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 4: NFL executive Don Aponte, What about Troy Vincent? Troy Troy 776 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 4: Vincent said that there hasn't been a lot of internal 777 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 4: discussion in the NFL about the tush push, but officials 778 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 4: continue to say it's hard to officiate. 779 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 2: You see, Minnesota just laid down. 780 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 4: I did see that. I thought that was interesting, innovative. 781 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 4: The NFL has also talked apparently about playing surfaces okay, 782 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 4: and that there's not a significant difference in injury between 783 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 4: grass and turf. 784 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 8: Now. 785 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 4: Albert Breer said that a veteran reporter once told him 786 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 4: that numbers are like hostages. You can make them say 787 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 4: whatever you want. Oh, so that's something to keep an 788 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 4: eye out on if that's true. 789 00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 2: So okay. 790 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 4: The NFL injury guy Jeff Miller said they've had two 791 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 4: concussions and no acl injuries on kick returns this year, 792 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 4: and the concussion rate is much lower than they expected. 793 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 3: Been a talkbacker today that threw out the Cincinnati sports 794 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 3: parlay over the weekend, and I answered that I would 795 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 3: be most apprehensive just because I know what the rivalry 796 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 3: is in FC Cincinnati against Columbus. How would you have 797 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 3: answered most apprehensive? Which of these three Bearcats, Baylor, Bengals, Jets, 798 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: FC Cincinnati and Columbus. 799 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 4: I would have the most confidence in FC Cincinnati. Now 800 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 4: I would have it would go f C Cincinnati most 801 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 4: confident and then Bearcats, But I do you know that 802 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 4: offense and the Bearcat defense. Yes, that worries me. It's 803 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 4: a little bit fair. And then I have the least 804 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 4: confidence in the Bengals. Okay, that's fair because they have 805 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 4: not earned my confidence yet this year. I'm thrilled with 806 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 4: what happened Thursday, but they haven't earned my confidence yet. 807 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 3: This, yep makes that SpongeBob.
