Held a player's only meeting yesterday. 22 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that along the way. We'll ask 23 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: a lot of Bengals questions today. Look, how and at 24 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: this point can this get turned around? And I'm not 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: just talking about the rest of this season. I'm talking 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: about going into a new offseason in the Joe Burrow era, 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: the super Bowl window that we like to throw around 28 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: so much. How does it change? How does it get 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: better from where things are at right now? The trade 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: deadline in the National Football League is a week from today. 31 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: Trades are already happening. The Titans and the Rams have 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: made a trade. What is your thought leading into the 33 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: trade deadline? Because my biggest thing right now, and we'll 34 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: discuss this later, I don't know that I trust Duke 35 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: Tobin with any picks that we may acquire with the 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals to make that turn into a positive decision. 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: I talked a lot yesterday about the plan and what 38 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: the plan used to be and what worked about it, 39 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: and now at some point the plan has changed. 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: The plan. 41 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is when it comes to drafting, 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 3: and I don't know how it will be adjusted this offseason, 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: but clearly, internally the plan has not worked and they 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: don't have good enough players, and so we've seen them 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 3: be a little bit more willing to make trades. They've 46 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: made an end season trade each of the last two seasons. 47 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: Would they be willing to go and find something that 48 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: might be more of a sure thing at the trade 49 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: deadline than risking another draft pick in which they have 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 3: struggled mightily to hit on. But you're right, I don't 51 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: trust Duke Tobin. No, no Bengals fans should trust Duke Tobin. 52 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: There is no reason to believe in Duke Tobin, or 53 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: in the scouting staff, or in the football operations people, 54 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: or in the coaching staff. Faith is at an all 55 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: time low right now, and the Bengals deserve this criticism 56 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: because they have failed in the execution of this plan. 57 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: We will will dive more into that dive a little 58 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: bit more into the Jamar Chase comments that Austin played 59 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: in our number three yesterday. Speaking of number three, I 60 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: have some questions about wide receiver number three for the 61 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. I'd like to dive into that today and 62 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: a Zach Taylor question about his time leading up to 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: now with the Cincinnati Bengals. What about a sports equinox yesterday? 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: It was yesterday? We had it? What about a sports 65 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: equinox yesterday? It was yesterday. Did you enjoy it? Yeah? 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: Did you partake in the equinox? I did? FC since 67 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,279 Speaker 2: and Yeah, here they come the hero. The city needed. 68 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: Orange blue k den k when hell is real, baby, 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: opportunity to finish off the Columbus Crew in Columbus on 70 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: Sunday and advance to the next round of the MLS 71 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: Cup playoffs. FC Cincinnati. It was an all out attack 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: last night. I mean, the Crew are lucky that they 73 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: survived that first half without giving up a goal. But 74 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: Cincinnati was prepared. They were fast, they were physical, they 75 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: were decisive. They were, in my opinion, a much better 76 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: team altogether than Columbus was on the pitch last night. 77 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: Hopefully they can carry that into Sunday and be a quick, easy, 78 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: painless opening round victory over their rivals. 79 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: In the National Football League. Last night, the Chiefs starting 80 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: to look more and more like the Chiefs. They win 81 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: twenty eight to seven over the Commanders and In doing so, 82 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey caught himself a touchdown and has drawn equal 83 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: to the all time touchdown mark with the Kansas City Chiefs. 84 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: The Chiefs all time record for touchdowns, Yes with who, 85 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: gosh who? They literally named it last night. Oh, I 86 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: don't know who it is. I gotta think about it. 87 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: A Priest Holmes, Priest Holmes? Is it? Yeah? Is it? Yes? 88 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: It's his eighty third career score, which time Priest Holmes 89 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: was a dog man. 90 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: I've forgotten about running back yep, because the Chiefs weren't 91 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,679 Speaker 3: that good at that time. 92 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: Priest Holmes was a monster. I believe it was his 93 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: one if you count playoffs as well. His one hundredth 94 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: touchdown as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs last 95 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: night led the Chiefs with six catches on eight targets 96 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: for ninety nine yards, and again, Austin, it just feels 97 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: like the Chiefs are starting to emerge in the AFC. 98 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: How many playoff games has Travis Kelsey played in his career? 99 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: Do we know? 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: Because he's probably played a season's worth of postseason games. 101 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: So he's got one hundred total touchdowns when you include 102 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: the postseason. 103 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that he has twenty five playoff games 104 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: in his career. 105 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, so over a season's worth of playoff games from 106 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: Kelsey as well. In those games, I'm looking at it now, 107 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: over two thousand receiving yards. 108 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: So good in the playoffs. Man, what a beast, so 109 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: good in the playoffs. But yeah, you're right, I mean 110 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: they're right now. In the conversation there, they would be 111 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: the last team in in the AFC. But when you 112 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: look at their division, you know, I think it's a 113 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: The AFC West is interesting if Joe Alt is healthy 114 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: for the Chargers, because they look like a much different 115 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: team when he's on the field. Denver blew out Dallas. 116 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: They're four to oh at home, but Denver leads that division. 117 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: They're winless in the division. Denver. They're also going to 118 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: be without Startain for a couple of weeks, out without 119 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: pascertained for a couple of weeks. I think their schedule 120 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: stiffens up a little bit. Argers are already three and 121 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 2: oh in the AFC West. That's going to be a 122 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: fun division race to watch down the stretch. A couple 123 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: other NFL notes, Carson Wentz season ending surgery on his 124 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: shoulder and the Baltimore. Ravens expect Lamar Jackson to be 125 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: the starting quarterback on Thursday. Speaking of starting quarterbacks, remember 126 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: Matt Liner, I know him. Matt Lionard says, it's time 127 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: to start putting some respect on Brendan Soarsby's name in 128 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: the Heisman race. 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: It's amazing what winning does all of a sudden people 130 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: start paying attention. 131 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, Bearcats win. Now here's the thing I'm a 132 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: little uneasy about. Yesterday the line for the Bearcats at 133 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: Utah game opened up places plus six for the Bearcats 134 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 2: even plus seven. Have you seen what it is at now? 135 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: Last I saw was nine and a half. Nine and 136 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: a half. There's some sharks jumping on the utes. Now, 137 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: what would be the reasoning for that? 138 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: From your perspective, as you now study each and every game, 139 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: why would there be such a swing in favor of 140 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: Utah Saturday night? 141 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 2: Utah, I think forty eight to nothing at halftime against Colorado, 142 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: had held Colorado to negative eighteen total yards and had 143 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: ran the ball already for three hundred yards in the game. 144 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: The biggest concern about the Bearcats currently is their rush defense. 145 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: In my opinion, I mean, they just held austin the 146 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: nation's leading passing attack to one hundred and thirty seven yards, 147 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: but their run defense gives up one hundred and fifty 148 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: one per game, and this Utah offense fifth in the 149 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: country when it comes to running the rock. Teams that 150 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: run the Rock Austin, they also do what control the 151 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: time of possession. They limit the other team's opportunities to 152 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: carry the ball, to possess the ball, and the Utah 153 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: utes two to sixty seven per game. On the ground. 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: You know, three of the teams ahead of them Army, Navy, 155 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: Air Force, and then the Jacksonville State game. 156 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: Cocks tells you that they're pretty good. I will say 157 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: this though, just looking at Utah's schedule when they faced 158 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: ranked teams, it hasn't always been easy. No, they lost 159 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: to Texas Tech by twenty four points, They lost to 160 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 3: BYU and the b YU one that was on the road. Now, 161 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: they did beat Arizona ten Arizona State in a blowout, 162 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: but I don't know that anybody really thinks Arizona State's 163 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 3: sure a team that is worth that number, but it 164 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: is technically a ranked win for them team to Watchno stinks. Yeah, 165 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: West Virginia stinks. Wyoming stink. Ucla at the time. Ucla 166 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: at the time stunk. I don't know that they've been 167 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: tested all that much. 168 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: There's a team to watch out for right now, Houston 169 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: in the Big twelve, four and one in the contre 170 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: I'm talking about football, not basketball. I know what they are. 171 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 2: They are now ranked the twenty second ranked team in 172 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: the country. Unbelievable. They have one loss on the year, 173 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: was to Texas Tech. Since then Austin I went over 174 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: that same Arizona State. We just the team we just 175 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: talked about. This is the remaining schedule for Houston, West Virginia, UCF, TCU, Baylor. 176 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: So you're telling me eleven and one could be b YU, 177 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: another team ahead of the Bearcats much tougher down the stretch. 178 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: They're at Texas Tech out of a bye. They ever 179 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: bye this weekend. They take on TCU after that, and 180 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: then come to take on the Bearcats and TCU. They 181 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: could throw a wrench in all of this because TCU's 182 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: remaining schedule b YU, Houston and Cincinnati. They could play 183 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: a little bit of a home wrecker. Came the TCU 184 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: horn homere yep home wrecker that nine and a half man. 185 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: That makes me nervous. How about this last night, Game 186 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: three of the World Series, Brad Paisley, you know going, 187 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: you know Brad Paisley. Yeah, Brad Paisley, he's the guy 188 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: who's in those commercials with Peyton Manning. Yes, Brad Paisley 189 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: sang the national anthem last night and people might just say, okay, 190 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: Brad Paisley is an awesome musician. There's nothing unique about that. Well, 191 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: listen to this. Brad Paisley has performed the anthem for 192 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: three memorable World Series contest in Los Angeles leading up 193 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: to last night, his fourth. In twenty seventeen, he sang 194 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: before Game two. That game won eleven innings. In Game 195 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: three twenty eighteen, he sang before it went eighteen innings. 196 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: Game one, twenty twenty four, Brad Paisley national anthem, the 197 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 2: game went ten innings. And then last night, how about 198 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: last night, Brad Paisley sings the national anthem. Dodgers win 199 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: the game six to five in eighteen innings, six hours 200 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: and thirty nine minutes of baseball last night. 201 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: To think that we've had two World Series games go 202 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 3: eighteen innings in the last six or seven years is 203 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: kind of bonkers, and even more crazy that the same 204 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: guy sang the national anthem YEP. 205 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: Before both of them. 206 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: Pretty wild, and some people are saying he should never 207 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: be invited back to a World Series game. 208 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: Man, I have a. 209 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: Question for people who stayed up to watch that game. Okay, 210 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: first of all, let me ask you, how much of 211 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 3: the game did you watch? I fell asleep last night 212 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: at about eleven thirty. I woke up, our son woke 213 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: up around two in the morning. What was the game 214 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: at when you fell asleep? Originally were you watching the game? 215 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: Yes, At the time I fell asleep, I believe the 216 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: Dodgers had just tied it up in the seventh and 217 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 2: at that time, I'm like, oh, it feels like the 218 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 2: Dodgers are going to win it. And so I fell 219 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: asleep and I woke up. Our son woke up at two, 220 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: woke up, went and gave him as passifier. Came back, 221 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: and my phone had like twenty eight messages, and I'm like, 222 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: this is odd because I checked it right before I 223 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: went to bed. Why would there be this many messages? 224 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: And it's like games still going on lol, And so 225 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: I looked and sure enough they're still playing. So I 226 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: watched the last couple of innings and. 227 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: Look, so you got like the first seven and the 228 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: last three. Yeah, well, a similar situation for me. I'm 229 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 3: flipping back and forth. I'm watching the three in o 230 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls, I'm watching FC Cincinnati, I'm watching Monday Night football, 231 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: and I'm watching the baseball and I see the Dodgers 232 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 3: tie it in the seventh inning, and I see the 233 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: Chiefs put it away against the Commanders, and I say, 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 3: all right, I'm going to bed. You know, i'd the 235 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: same thing as you. Dodgers have all the momentum, yep, 236 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: so I trust LA is going to win this game. 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: I wake up at six o'clock this morning, and I 238 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: see all these tweets and all of these posts and 239 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: all these notifications. The game ended at two fifty four am. 240 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: So my question is, if you're one of those people 241 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: and you stayed up for the entirety, you stayed up 242 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: until three am over here on the East Coast to 243 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: watch that World Series game today waking up this morning 244 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: going about your business, was it worth it? 245 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: You know? The problem when I watched late night sporting events, 246 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: when there's an ending like last night, like I'm so 247 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: pumped up. It takes me a while to call them 248 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: back down. So it's not like the game ends at 249 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: two fifty five and then you're asleep by three, Like 250 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: it just takes time to wind down from that. Listen 251 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: if you've been living under a rock for the last 252 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 2: few hours. Sho Heo Tani did something that I'm confident Austin, 253 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: I'll never see again in my lifetime. Don't believe it's 254 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: happened since like before World War Two. And what's crazy 255 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: is you could you could have convinced me that I 256 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: wouldn't have seen something in my life again. After Shoeo 257 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: Tani's performance when he pitched and struck out ten and 258 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: hit three home runs, I'm like, I'll never see that 259 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: again in the postseason. And then last night Shoeo Tani 260 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: four for four at the dish and then was walked 261 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: five times. Why was he walked five times, Austin? Because 262 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: he was four for four, because he hit two doubles 263 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: and two home runs. He's the greatest player to play 264 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: the game, There's no doubt about it. He continues to 265 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: rewrite the record books. It feels like he's just getting started. 266 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: He was phenomenal last night and I don't know if 267 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: you caught any of Dave Roberts in the postgame interview 268 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: or not, but just postgame in the locker room with 269 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: the team and he's like, Hey, just so you know, 270 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: we got a game in a hours. We got a 271 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: game today. And oh, by the way, show Hao Tani's 272 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: going to pitch tonight. 273 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: The best quote came from Showhy after the game. He said, 274 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: I just want to go to bed as soon as possible. 275 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable. Now that guy's going to take the 276 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: mound after ushering in one of the greatest single sporting 277 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: games you'll ever watch in any sport. 278 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, there's like a whole segment to be had on 279 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 3: you know, over the course of the last thirty years, 280 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: let's say, or for anybody who's listening, like in your lifetime, 281 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: how many of the absolute greatest to ever play the 282 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: game have you actually gotten to watch? 283 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: I remember when I was young watching Jordan. Yeah, so 284 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan is part of that. Tom Brad, even if 285 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: you're anti Jordan, you believe it's Lebron. You got to 286 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: see Lebron, Tom Brady, you can make that case for 287 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: the NFL. There are other guys in football where you 288 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,239 Speaker 2: could make that case. 289 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: For Yeah, you could say Messi or Ronaldo Messi and 290 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: Ronaldo those types of guys. I mean, Alex Novechkin just 291 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 3: broke the hockey record. Yeah, I mean, like how many 292 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: of like this, but like for it really to be 293 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: undisputed as the greatest that's ever played the game. I 294 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: think Brady is in that category. Jordan and Lebron. Let's 295 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 3: just say you put them in their own category and 296 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 3: you view them equally. We don't, but let's say some 297 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: people do, and then show Hey like, yep, it's really 298 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: a very elite group. One of those dudes where it's 299 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: like yeah and yeah in his prime, it's one of 300 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: those dudes where it's like, you will stop what you're 301 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 3: doing to watch them taken that bat, and it blows 302 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: me away that guys keep pitching him up and in. 303 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: I have never seen a player outside of maybe Barry Bonds, 304 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: who can flip those hands and keep that bat level 305 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 3: and reach that inside heater like you are never going 306 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: to beat show Hey up and in and he hit 307 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 3: a ball opposite field for a double last night. He 308 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: hadn't hit a ball in the opposite field in weeks. 309 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: Why do you keep going inside on him? I don't understand. 310 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: But he can hit anything. 311 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: That was so fun. And here's here's my dilemma. Because 312 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 2: a lot of people think that the Dodgers are evil. 313 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: I don't know that there's an easier guy to root 314 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: for than Freddie Freeman. Oh yeah, Freddie Freeman hits the 315 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: walk off in the eighteenth Last Night home run to 316 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: Dead Center to UH to win it for the Dodgers. 317 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: Just everything about his career. I watched a story about 318 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman whose mom passed away when he was younger 319 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: and his dad was in a bad place, and he 320 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: essentially saved his dad's life. You know what he's gone 321 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: through with his with his son, and just a consummate professional, 322 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: Like it's it's easy. I get people don't like the 323 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: Dodgers for certain reasons. I don't know how you could 324 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: know anything about Freddy Freeman and not be happy anytime 325 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: that guy does something. For sure, very easy got to 326 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: root for. Oh one other piece of baseball news, the 327 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: worldest Chapman said he'd rather retire than rejoin the Yankees. 328 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: I can respect that. That's crazy. Can I ask you 329 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: one other question? You don't have to answer it now, 330 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: you can. You can think about this and we can 331 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: get back to it later in the show. I saw 332 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 2: this from Evan Cohen and the Guys an un sportsman 333 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 2: like today. He asked the question, is there anything that 334 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: you can willfully go in to watch on TV, whether 335 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: it's a show, a series, whatever it may be, and 336 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: know that you're gonna sit down for six hours and 337 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: thirty nine minutes and still watch it. 338 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 3: NFL Red Zone for one, Okay, I could do that, Friends, 339 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 3: I could watch Friends. I could probably watch the Hours 340 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: the Office for six and a half hours. 341 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 342 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 3: Outside of that, I don't know if there's anything else. Yeah, 343 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: I don't know those three things basically exclusively. Still on 344 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 3: that and let us know today, do you have a 345 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: comfort show, like a show that you put on just yeah? 346 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: Seinfeld? Seinfeld? Yeah, like I could. I made the mistake 347 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: last night or not last night the night before to 348 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: watch the Uh did you ever watch it? I wasn't. 349 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: I was too afraid. Well, now there's this series on 350 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: HBO called like Welcome to Darry and it's like the 351 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: origin series of it. Why would anybody ever do that? 352 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 2: And I made the mistake the other night of watching it, 353 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: and I'm usually okay with scary stuff, Like I had 354 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: to watch like three episodes of Seinfeld to get my 355 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 2: mind ready to sleep, and I was like, I'm probably 356 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: not gonna come back for episode two. That was one 357 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: episode in. But yeah, that's kind of where I'm at oka. 358 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 2: But six hours and thirty nine minutes, that's tough. That's 359 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: a lot of watching. Let's take a break, let's come back. 360 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: Let's start with the Bengals, start with this players only meeting, 361 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 2: and let's start trying to sift through if there's a 362 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 2: way that we can actually figure out how to get 363 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: this thing turned around. Here on since e three to sixty, 364 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 365 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: Now your chance to win it THOUTMINNATI brought to you 366 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: by Hey during Window Company on ESPN fifteen thirty, The 367 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 368 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: Yes it is football in the NATI on this the 369 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 370 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: Some notes here. Austin mentioned in the first segment about 371 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: the line the spread in the UC game. We'll hear 372 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: from Scott Saderfield Later in the show. He did mention 373 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: today though, that starting running back Evan Pryor probably will 374 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: be listed as out when the first injury report is 375 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: released tomorrow night. Obviously something to watch. And how about this, 376 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: Jordan Schultz reported a name to watch in the trade 377 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 2: front this year is Giant's edge rusher kvon Thibodeau, under 378 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: contract for another year, but some around the league have 379 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: wondered whether he's part of New York's long term plans. 380 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 2: Jay Morrison responds to that twenty three and a half 381 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: sacks and three years would only be out about three 382 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 2: and a half million the rest of this year, and 383 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: a fifth year option in twenty twenty six would be 384 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: a reasonable fourteen point eight million dollars for a Bengals 385 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: team with almost no pass rush. Kvon Thibodeau that changed this. 386 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 3: Team makes them better right away, especially when it comes 387 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: to pass rush. He'd be better than Miles murch and 388 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: Joseph Osai and Cam Sample and Tamar Stewart and just 389 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: about anybody else, and probably better than Trey Hendrickson on 390 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: a bad hip and a bad back. So yeah, And 391 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: that's the type of move that shows your fan base 392 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: and your players in your locker room, that you're serious 393 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: about trying. 394 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: To win exactly that, And that was my That was 395 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: my point of it all. 396 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: And it also makes sense in the sense of it's 397 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: a Bengals type of move because and this is a 398 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: good thing and a bad. 399 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: Thing, not on a ton of money, well, not the 400 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: money part. 401 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: It's Oh, he'll replace Trey Henderson, like we've seen them 402 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: try to do that before. Now typically they've done it 403 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: with draft picks. Oh, Dax Hill's going to replace Jesse Bates. Oh, 404 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: Cedric o'boay he is going to replace Andrew Whitworth Jr. 405 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: Is going to replace t Higginson. Yeah, is going to 406 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: replace Trey Hendrickson. 407 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 3: Right, So that sort of thing like it would make 408 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 3: sense from the Bengals perspective. And again, if you're in 409 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: this process of evaluating how you do everything, well, this 410 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 3: is an example of, Hey, here's a guy who might 411 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: be available. Would you I would like to know what 412 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: his value is with that price and with that production, 413 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: probably a third round pick at his age. I don't know, 414 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 3: I'm not entirely sure, but would you take your chances 415 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: on a third round pick or that? 416 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: That that to me is the point of all of this, 417 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: Like we saw over the last twenty four hours, the 418 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: Rams have added to their cornerback room. They've added Roger 419 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: McCreary in a trade with the Titans. Titans get a 420 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: fifth round pick, Rams get a sixth round pick. They 421 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 2: essentially just swapped rounds and the Rams get themselves another 422 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: member of the secondary. McCree he's a second round pick 423 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two as the last year of his 424 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: rookie deal, has played in the slot for Tennessee this year, 425 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: but can play outside as well. McVeigh is using that 426 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: they had depth, which seems like the Rams are always 427 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: thinking one step ahead with everything that they do. But 428 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: to me, Austin, this was the root of the conversation 429 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: I wanted to have. With the trade deadline being a 430 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: week from today, I don't trust Duke Tobin to acquire 431 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: draft picks and turn around and utilize those draft picks 432 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: in a positive way. I know you went through an 433 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: exercise yesterday where you listed off some of the draft picks, Mo, 434 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 2: and I did it at Twin Peaks yesterday as well, 435 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: where you just look at the failures year after year 436 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: after year of Duke Tobin drafting players. It has been 437 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: a failure. I'm so tired of seeing a draft and 438 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 2: being told, don't worry about the lack of production. Look 439 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: at these measurables all the way back to when John 440 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: Ross got drafted. Look how fast he is, all the 441 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: way to Shamar Stewart. Don't look at the sack totals. 442 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: Just look at his athleticism, look at his testing numbers, 443 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: look at how much he disrupted games. And at the 444 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: end of the day, that's great, but he didn't bring 445 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: anyone down in college and not tackling anyone in the NFL. 446 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: But we're just pitched. Have you've seen Miles Murphy. Just 447 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: look at the size of him. The athleticism, Okay, that 448 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily translate to a great football player on the field, right, 449 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: And when you draft guys in the first in the 450 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: second round, you need those players to be impact players, 451 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: especially when you pay Joe Burrow and t Higgins and 452 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and what you have coming out from a 453 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: contract standpoint. Mo made the point yesterday they've not given 454 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: an offensive lineman a second contract of which they drafted 455 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: since Clint Bowling. The Duke Tobin draft tenure has been 456 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: a failure and don't tell me Joe Burrow and Jamar 457 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 2: Chase because any team would have done it. 458 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: And you know, kind of looking back on the Marvin 459 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 3: Lewis era at the end, you know, Marvin had some 460 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: pretty good drafts and was a part of some really 461 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: good drafts and Duke is a part of that as well. 462 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: Guys that were mainstays in playoff teams, Andy and AJ 463 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: are a great example, Eiffert Bernard, Sean Williams played a 464 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: lot lot of games. Even Jeremy Hill, AJM McCarron like 465 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: guys that had a role and were productive for the organization. 466 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 3: But if you look at the last three drafts of 467 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: Marvin Lewis and Duke Tobin's time together, there's a lot 468 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 3: of misses and it resulted in the team taking a 469 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 3: nose dive and Marvin getting fired. In the twenty sixteen draft, 470 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: there was one viable professional. It was Tyler Boyd. Now 471 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: Andrew Billings is still playing. We're going to see him 472 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: this weekend with the Chicago Bears, if I'm not mistaken, 473 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: But Tyler Boyd. The next year was Joe Mixon and 474 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: Jake Elliott, And Jake Elliott never played for the Bengals 475 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. It was Billy Price, Jesse Bates, Sam 476 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 3: Hubbard and after that a bunch of losers and so like, 477 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: really you only got two of that eighteen draft as well, 478 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: and it was Bates and Hubbard their first round picks. 479 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 3: Just Joanahilli didn't work out, obviously Burrow and Chase did. 480 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: Dax is still a question mark. Miles Murphy terrible, Amarius 481 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: Mims don't know, but you feel good about Shamar Stewart 482 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: massive question mark. 483 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: So like. 484 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 3: It felt like there was a shift when they got 485 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 3: good with Burrow is to Okay, let's get some young 486 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: guys that we can get in here and develop behind 487 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 3: these veterans, and then the veterans leave and there was 488 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: actually no development. So now, what you should have done 489 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: with Shamar Stewart, what you should have done with you know, 490 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 3: this past draft class, and what you need to do 491 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 3: moving forward is guys that have actually been productive at 492 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 3: those programs, or seek and find guys in free agency 493 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 3: or in the trade deadline that have been productive NFL players. 494 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: Example would be like Caveon Thibodaum. Yeah, and that's why 495 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 3: I go back to the Thibodeau side. You know, would 496 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: you rather Austin, you know, between now and next week 497 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 3: this time, move on from Trey Hendrickson and acquire a 498 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 3: couple of draft picks, or at a guy like Dibbodeaux 499 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 3: that you know as a proven commodity. Like I'm at 500 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 3: the point where I need proven commodities because I don't 501 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 3: trust the process of scouting, of drafting and then developing 502 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 3: the players. That terrifies me about this organization. It's a 503 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 3: main reason why the organization is in the spot that 504 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 3: we're in right now. They haven't drafted well, they haven't 505 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: developed well. They had an abysmal defense last year, and 506 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: they are somehow worse on defense. Somehow, after they wasted 507 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 3: historic years from Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and Trey Hendrickson. 508 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: Somehow they looked at that defense and their ideas to 509 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: improve it have all failed, and they are somehow worse 510 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball. 511 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: Think about that. Meanwhile, Loure and a Rimos squad is 512 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: giving up under twenty points a game, can't scapegoat him anymore, 513 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: just running out of people to point the finger out. 514 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say, I mean, there's been 515 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 3: multiple coaches that have kind of fallen on the sword. 516 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: Offensive line, defensive line, linebackers, decordinators, they've all kind of 517 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 3: fallen on the sword. 518 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: Yep, and now there's really no other swords to fall on. 519 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: Kind of at a point with your organization where it's 520 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 2: it's at a crossroads. And as we sit here at 521 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: this point, I don't trust them to make the right 522 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 2: decisions in the draft. I don't trust that they are 523 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: evaluating the talent properly. That is how you get into 524 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: a spot like the Bengals are in right now. Historically 525 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: bad last year on defense, worse on defense, wasting more 526 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 2: greatness from Jamar Chase. The injury has pushed Burrow's path 527 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 2: another year further. It's just it's maddening at where this 528 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: franchise is at. And it's even more maddening when Joe 529 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: Flacco comes in and puts up thirty eight and you 530 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: lose to the zero to seven Jets. 531 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: You're on the verge of missing the playoffs for a 532 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: third straight season after going to the Super Bowl an 533 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 3: AFC Championship game in back to back years. 534 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: That is unacceptable. But Austin, there was a players only 535 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: meeting yesterday. Well, who. By the way, correspondence from my grandma. Hey, 536 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: Grandpaul and I watched the entire game last night. Wow, 537 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 2: Grandpa said, we did because we'll never see anyone like 538 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: Otani in our lifetimes. Grandpa also really likes Freddie Freeman, 539 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 2: so shout out to the Grandma and Grandpa. They have 540 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: good taste. They watched it because they knew they were 541 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: watching greatness, so it was worth it to them. 542 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 5: Good. 543 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: Let's take a break. Let's stick with the Bengals. We'll 544 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: get some calls in at the end of the hour, 545 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: but uh, a wide receiver conversation that I think it's 546 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 2: fair to have. We'll do so next. I'm the home 547 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: of the Bengals ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

Thank you to Win Schulers, Thank you for 576 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: listening ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. We'll grab a 577 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: phone call or two in just a couple of minutes. 578 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: Let me ask you, Austin, because it goes in to 579 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: the conversation we've already had about the failures of this 580 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 2: team in the draft and in the process that they 581 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: have taken in the way they've constructed this team. Andre 582 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: Yoshi vash And I know it's a delicate thing because 583 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: I know Yoshi is a fan favorite to a lot 584 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: of people, and I get why, I really do. He 585 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: is a very likable guy, works hard. But at the 586 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: root of it, Austin, what round was Yoshi drafted in? 587 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 2: I believe he was a sixth or seventh three. He 588 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 2: was a sixth round draft pick. And yes, he's had 589 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: good moments for this team, but he is not gaining 590 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: separation and he has a case of the drops. And 591 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: when I say not gaining separation, Austin, I think that's 592 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: crucial because a large percentage of the time is Yoshi 593 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: going against the team's first or second best cover guy. No, No, 594 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: they're up with Jamar Chasen t Higgins, So he's not 595 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: beating third or fourth cover guy of the opposition. And 596 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: my question remains, we watched at camp Mitchell Tinsley take 597 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: over at times as a story of training camp. We 598 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: had very good things to say about how Jermaine Burton 599 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: approached this year's training camp. And Mitchell Tinsley is active 600 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: on most game days. Jermaine Burton is not active, but 601 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: late in the game, Joe Flacco tried to go to 602 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: Yoshi Vash three times the second to last series. On 603 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 2: the second down, he tried to fit a ball into 604 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 2: Yoshi no separation, put the ball in Yoshi's hands down 605 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: the middle on the final drive of the game, which 606 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: would have put the Bengals in prime spot to win 607 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 2: that game. I know it was a tough catch. The 608 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: ball has eventually dropped, and then on the fourth down, 609 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: Yoshi drops the balls. He's going to the ground. If we, 610 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 2: or if the Bengals Austin are willing to give players 611 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: opportunities at other positions on the offensive and defensive side 612 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: of the ball, why is it that they seem unwilling 613 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: to give Mitchell Tinsley or Jermaine Burton opportunities over Andre Yoshivash. 614 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 3: I think we've slowly seen the Mitchell Tinsley snaps creep 615 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 3: up there. I believe with Burton it's a complete distrust 616 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 3: and probably an inability to grasp the offense. That would 617 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 3: be my guess as to why he's not even in 618 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 3: the conversation Tinsley. There's no reason it shouldn't be a rotation, 619 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 3: like there's no reason he shouldn't be challenging him for 620 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 3: those snaps as far as I'm concerned, I mean, you 621 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 3: talk about the separation. According to Andrew Russell, who posted 622 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 3: this yesterday, Yoshivash has the third most receiving snaps on 623 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 3: the team. He's last in separation rate, isn't making contested catches, 624 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 3: only two for nine on those contested throws, and leads 625 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 3: the team with four drops, and you could probably charge 626 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 3: him with three more than he's actually been charged with. 627 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 2: So no separation, not making contested catches, and dropping the ball. 628 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 3: Correct, no reason for him to continue getting that many snaps. 629 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 2: I think I think he was somewhere around eighty percent 630 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: of the snaps. 631 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 3: I would be willing to say, Okay, let's put noa Fan, 632 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 3: just put Mitchell Tinsley. I would like to see a 633 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 3: little bit more of that no offense, because I think No. 634 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 3: A Fan's been a pretty solid player this year for 635 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 3: this team. H and I think he's a dependable receiver 636 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 3: obviously as the big body, can he get more of 637 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 3: those opportunities? Can Mitchell Tinsley get more of those opportunities? 638 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 3: And if not, like, can you find creative ways to 639 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: move Chase and Higgins around to where you might create 640 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 3: a more favorable matchup for andre Yoshavash, whether that be 641 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 3: through motion, through a formation, whatever it might be. 642 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it's puzzling because again, at other positions 643 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 2: across this roster, they are making decisions to give other 644 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 2: players opportunities, and yet at certain positions they're not. Gino 645 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 2: Stone played a percent of the naps again, Cam Taylor 646 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 2: Britt was almost back to eighty percent after being a 647 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 2: healthy scratch the week before. It just it doesn't feel 648 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 2: like there's much rhyme or reason with a lot of 649 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 2: these decisions that are being made defensively. I don't think 650 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 2: they know. 651 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 3: I think they're just trying to find something, trying everything, 652 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 3: which you know, I had the question I was asking 653 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 3: you this before the game or before the show today. 654 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 3: Do we think this was the plan with or without 655 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow? 656 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 657 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 3: To just give these young guys chances or when Burrow 658 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 3: went down, they're like, all right, screw it, let's see 659 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 3: what these guys have. 660 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,959 Speaker 2: I would think it was when Burrow went down, because 661 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 2: there's no way you could have just randomly said, let's 662 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 2: give guys chances as your answer to how bad the 663 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 2: defense was last year with Burrough. 664 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 3: I think I would say the opposite. I think it was, well, 665 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 3: we're going to give these dudes a chance to play, 666 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 3: and hopefully Joe's going to be healthy and he'll cover 667 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 3: up all there. 668 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 2: But that's the crazy thing. If that was the thinking, 669 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,439 Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that's what it was after 670 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 2: Burrow's year last year was all for not and the 671 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 2: thinking would have just been, let's let Joe be great 672 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 2: again and we'll just kind of shuffle guys on defense 673 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 2: and see what sticks. Yeah, that is a disaster. 674 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 4: You know. 675 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 3: I was talking to somebody recently. I want to say 676 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 3: it was Charlie. I don't know for sure about like, 677 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 3: you know, how did you get from where we are 678 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 3: to or where we were to where we are and 679 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 3: like where we're going, And Charlie said, one of the 680 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 3: lessons he's learned is that it can always get worse. 681 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 3: Like you think, oh, surely the offensive line can't get worse, 682 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 3: or surely the cornerback play can't get worse, or surely 683 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 3: the safety play can't get worse. 684 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 4: It does. 685 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of where we've gone wrong 686 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 3: here with the Bengals, especially defensively. Well, the cornerbacks won't 687 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 3: be that bad again, they have been. The defensive line 688 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 3: won't be that bad again, well they have been. And 689 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 3: you know, surely it can't get worse. Well, Trey Hendrickson 690 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 3: got hurt, So guess what it got worse? Like, you 691 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 3: can never operate under the assumption, which the Bengals have, 692 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 3: that it can't get worse than it was last year, 693 00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 3: because guess what it is? 694 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 2: Yes, yeap, remarkable. Do you feel better that they're they're 695 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: haven't they had a players only meeting? Uh? 696 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 8: No? 697 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 2: I don't you feel better that that are gonna be different? 698 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 3: I feel better because I learned that their uniform combo 699 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 3: is black on black, which if you remember, and I'm 700 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 3: sure you do. The two thousand and nine Bengals hosted 701 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 3: the Bears in the Cedric Benson Revenge Game SETI. They 702 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 3: won forty five to ten, wearing the black on black okay, 703 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 3: and Cedric Benson went crazy, Rip said Benson. Okay, but 704 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 3: you know, maybe recreate a little bit of that magic. 705 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: All right? Who says, no picking up what we're putting down. Uh, 706 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 2: let's take a break.

Hey, Tony, I just want you to 725 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 11: I'm come in town for the for the Bears game 726 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 11: this weekend. 727 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 5: I will see you in mow at the Grail with Uh. 728 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 10: Let's go yes, sir, yes, sir, somebow something. 729 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 11: I want to mention that that struck that you guys 730 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 11: were talking about Duke tobinan about about Zach Taylor. You know, 731 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 11: when we went to the Super Bowl and played against 732 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 11: uh I played against the Rams, they basically sold the 733 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 11: farm if you remember that year to win the Super Bowl. 734 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 11: I mean they basically said we're going to after this minute, 735 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 11: we're going to rebuild. 736 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 12: That. 737 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 11: Is that a correct assumption on my part? 738 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 2: I don't agree with that now. I don't think so, 739 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 2: because at that time, you're thinking Burrows on the rookie 740 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: deal and and chases Is on the rookie deal, and 741 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 2: you could build around that the Rams part. 742 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 11: Remember the Rams that basically put. 743 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 2: All their Yeah, yeah, the Rams did, And somehow they've 744 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 2: built themselves back quicker than the Bengals exactly. 745 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 11: They they basiced get the exact same record as Buffalo. 746 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 11: I mean they are They're five and two. So what 747 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 11: is it about? I mean, I like I like Zach Taylor. 748 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 5: You know, a person never met the guy. 749 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 11: He seems like a nice guy, but I think that 750 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,919 Speaker 11: he sort of got a pass, he sort of rode. 751 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 10: Maybe maybe I'm long in saying. 752 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 11: That the coattails of Sean McVay, you know, whenever he 753 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 11: was there and now he's on the island by himself 754 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 11: trying to coach his team and can't seem to develop 755 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 11: the players, and Duke Tobin can't can't draft. 756 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 5: So I mean it speaks. 757 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 11: And like I said, is that you know, the Rams 758 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 11: they sold the farm, you know, to win that Super 759 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 11: Bowl against us, and now they're better than they're They're 760 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 11: closer to the Super Bowl again than we are with 761 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 11: with Sean McVay, with Duke Tobin. 762 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 5: So hey, turning, I'll see you this weekend. 763 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 2: That I listen to you guys, Let's go all right, appreciate that, 764 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 2: Steve yeh. It is true. Like look, you know, I 765 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 2: did an exercise yesterday Austin. There were four different receivers 766 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 2: taken within twenty five picks when Jermaine Burton was taken 767 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: last year that are significant impact players or have been 768 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 2: for their teams currently. The way in which this team 769 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 2: has rebuilt or built their roster is a disaster. When 770 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 2: you think of a team like the Rams, or you 771 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 2: think of a team like Tampa Bay or the teams 772 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: that are consistently competing at the top. The Chiefs have 773 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 2: had to draft. They had to address the offensive line 774 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 2: issues from last year. They did. The Detroit Lions had 775 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 2: to work around losing both an offensive and defensive coordinator. 776 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 2: There are our teams across the National Football League. The 777 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 2: Patriots are in year one with a brand new coach 778 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: and complete overhaul of the roster, and they have a 779 00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: handle on things right now. In the AFC East, the Chargers, Broncos, 780 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts with Daniel Jones, teams are finding ways 781 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: to do it and be successful in the NFL, and 782 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 2: the Bengals cannot find that recipe. What's going on? 783 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 13: Mark? 784 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 5: Hey, I'm just now recovered from that lost Sunday, but 785 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 5: I'm convinced now Zach Taylor he don't want me to 786 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 5: like him. He allow me to like him, and he 787 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 5: don't want me to like him. Let me make this 788 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 5: point and I'll be quick, and you can tell me 789 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 5: if you agree or disagree. They get the ball back 790 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 5: five times in the Super Bowl with the lead, never 791 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 5: committed to running the ball neither time. Okay, MC Championship 792 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 5: game the next season, they got the ball back at 793 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 5: the end of the game. They end up having to 794 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 5: punk the ball, but never committed to running the ball. 795 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,439 Speaker 5: Second to the last drive of this game, Shotgun three 796 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 5: passes never tried to run the ball for some reason 797 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 5: where he gets in these situations in the game, he 798 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 5: doesn't believe in running the ball. And that's what that's 799 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 5: what frustrates me about him, Like, you close the game 800 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 5: out running the ball. In spite of the bad defense 801 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 5: and everything that happened in that game, the Jets coordinator, 802 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 5: even with two scores, even with them being behind two scores, 803 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 5: they never got away from running the ball. They ran 804 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 5: the ball and threw it when they had to throw it. 805 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,319 Speaker 5: What is with him when it comes to running the 806 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 5: ball in certain situations, they were doing a good job 807 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 5: running the ball. I just then if they run that, 808 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 5: let me make this play. They run the ball in 809 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 5: that last second to last series, I think it's game over. 810 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's game over, Thank you, Mark. 811 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 2: I think it's game over on multiple fronts. I think 812 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: if they could have just at the very least taken 813 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 2: three or four minutes off the clock, I just think 814 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: it would have changed the way in which the Jets 815 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 2: would have had to attack the last series. The Jets 816 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 2: got the ball back so quickly, they didn't have to 817 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 2: go into any type of different offense. They could still 818 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 2: run the ball, they could still throw the ball, as 819 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 2: opposed to the other side of things, when they may 820 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 2: have got the ball back with less time and would 821 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 2: have had to resort of just to throwing the ball. 822 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: And that's just not justin Field's specialty regardless, it's the 823 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 2: end game situational coaching that has haunted this team and 824 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: continues to do so real quick. And then we'll get 825 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 2: our break in with Joe Danaman coming up. What's up, Darien? 826 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 4: What's up? Guys? 827 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 14: I'd be super quick as far as Zach Taylor in 828 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 14: the draft in situation, I feel like there's too many 829 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 14: sets in the kitchen, too many people have input on 830 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 14: who to draft, Like say Franstance second round, third round pick. 831 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 5: If we'd have won. 832 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 14: Tate Radlic and then Dylan fa tro out in round 833 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 14: two and three, nobody would have been upset if you 834 00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 14: got very quarter in. 835 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 2: Round four, like okay, all right, cool? 836 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,919 Speaker 14: And then you know with Zach Taylor's like why can't 837 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 14: he ever just be transparent and honest with us? Like 838 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 14: yesterday he was saying that they were in a past 839 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 14: for us, they're getting there. 840 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 2: Just this, they're just not finishing. I'm like, are you 841 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 2: watching the same thing. 842 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 14: That we're all watching? 843 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 2: You see him like nobody. 844 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 14: Is getting there, and it's like, why can't he just 845 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 14: being a presser, Like, Hey, I'm very frustrated with how 846 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 14: things are going. We're social for answers. You know, we 847 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 14: know it's not the standard. He's just like, I got 848 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 14: faith in our guys, and it's like, hey, Lee sometimes 849 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 14: be upset and say, you know, this isn't what we're 850 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 14: wanting to look like, That's all I got for you, guys, man, 851 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 14: I appreciate You'll. 852 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 2: Thank you, Darren. I appreciate that. You know. The one 853 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 2: thing about the presser yesterday, I was looking to that 854 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 2: for Zach to set a tone because I thought it 855 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 2: was coming off the worst loss of the Zach Taylor era. 856 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 2: And I walked away from that press conference thinking that 857 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 2: sounded like every other Monday press conference I hear, and 858 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 2: I hope that's just on the outside. I hope it's 859 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 2: not business as normal at the stadium because if so, 860 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: that's an issue because what's going on right now isn't working. 861 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 2: Something has to be changed, whether that's their approach or 862 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 2: how they attack the week. But the messaging of seemingly 863 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 2: just another week. You know, we're close, and we got 864 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 2: to work on some things, and we got to check 865 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 2: to taitus. To me, that's run its course, especially after 866 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 2: a loss as bad as the loss to the New 867 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 2: York Jets. We'll discuss that loss and more, the man 868 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 2: that covers the Bengals and so much more for Fox 869 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 2: nineteen Joe Daniman when we returned on the Home of 870 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 2: the Bengals ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 871 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 15: WCKY, Cincinnati, Make us the number one pre set on 872 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,280 Speaker 15: your car radio and on the free new and improved 873 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 15: iHeartRadio app. Free never sounded so good, ESPN fifteen thirty. 874 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 2: Running a business means wearing multiple hats. 875 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: So hike Sincy three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati, sponsored 876 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: in part by Simcy Shirts Cincy Shirts all since e 877 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: all Day.

Yet, what's up, joe Y? 889 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 16: You know how the announcers say at the end of 890 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 16: a baseball game, stay tuned for your late local news. 891 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 16: What happens when it's the morning shows that to me. 892 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 2: And I know you already hashed this out with Moeger. 893 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 2: At what point during that game last night did you 894 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,439 Speaker 2: know that you weren't going to be talking after the game? 895 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 16: At about they pulled the plug on us and told 896 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 16: us to go home. So yeah, I was able to 897 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 16: get out of there. And I think back to some 898 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 16: of the epic baseball games in great moments that we've 899 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 16: seen in the last twenty five years. The Aaron Boone 900 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 16: walk off home run against the Red Sox was like, 901 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 16: the only pitch I missed in that game is I 902 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 16: was like running down the hall to get something. I 903 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 16: came back and I missed it. So last night when 904 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 16: we left, I was driving way too fast to get 905 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 16: home to make sure I saw the end of the game. 906 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 16: Little that I know, I would still have like four 907 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 16: innings left by the time I got home. 908 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 3: So what's it like for you guys there at the 909 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,320 Speaker 3: Fox nineteen studios, because you you work on the show. 910 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 3: Do you get all the show done and everything that 911 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 3: you're supposed to be doing. Do you just kind of 912 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 3: sit around and watch the game together or are you 913 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 3: working on other stuff for today? 914 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 2: Like what's going on? Take us inside the room. 915 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 10: That's a great question. 916 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 16: Okay, So at that point, we're down to about five 917 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 16: or six people left in the news room, and everybody's 918 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,959 Speaker 16: looking to me to tell them when this is going 919 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 16: to end. Like, because I work in sports, I can 920 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 16: predict when this baseball game is going to be finished. 921 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 16: So they're asking for ballpart times. 922 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 10: And I say, this thing could go till three. 923 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 16: In the morning, or it can be over on the 924 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 16: next pitch. I have no answer for you. However, I'm 925 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 16: the only one there who's excited because we're witnessing one 926 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 16: of the great moments in baseball history, and I tell 927 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 16: them all the time, I'd be home watching this game anyway, 928 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 16: so I might as well be at work watching it 929 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 16: and getting ready to. 930 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 17: Do a show. 931 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 16: So yeah, I tried to work ahead, got a few 932 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 16: things done that I posted socially, and you try to 933 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 16: take the work that would have been on air and 934 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 16: posted socially to your social media accounts. But there's only 935 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 16: so much you can do when you're waiting three hours. 936 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 16: So most of the time people are sitting around lamenting 937 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,439 Speaker 16: the fact that they could be home going to bed, 938 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 16: and I'm all fired up because I'd be at home watching. 939 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 10: The game anyway. 940 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 3: Following up on that with social media, how has your 941 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 3: life changed since you went viral last week with the 942 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco clip? 943 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 10: Isn't that something? And I had no idea, Austin. 944 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 16: We were in the middle of shooting our Bengals Live 945 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 16: show at Newport, so I was unplugged for a good 946 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 16: forty five minutes, and then we were in a commercial 947 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 16: break and I looked at my phone and it was 948 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 16: a text from you about something going viral, and I'm like, 949 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,840 Speaker 16: what are you talking about? And I slipped on my 950 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,240 Speaker 16: Twitter and I showed it to Jeremy. 951 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 10: I said, this thing. 952 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 16: Has fifteen thousand likes and like an hour and a half, 953 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 16: I'm like, what is it about this that relates and 954 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 16: resonates so much with people? 955 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 18: Now? 956 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 10: What relates and resonates with me? Because I'm a mid. 957 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 16: Forties guy with three kids who loves to eat alone. 958 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 10: But I've always been that way. So the fact. 959 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 16: That that one went wild, I'm you never know, right. 960 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 16: And the funny thing about that tweet was I was 961 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,240 Speaker 16: sitting around at the stadium just finishing up my work 962 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 16: and Jeremy still had something else to do. So I 963 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 16: was like, how can I say fill this last five 964 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 16: to ten minutes with something productive?

You've grown up 978 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 2: in a time and Austin and I hit on it earlier. 979 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 2: You've been able to see Tiger and Jordan and Lebron 980 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 2: and Steph Curry and Otani and Tom Brady, and you 981 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: can go down the list of all these greats. Where 982 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,400 Speaker 2: does last night rank for you? On just an individual 983 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 2: accomplishment that is never going to be replicated for us? 984 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 16: You mentioned all the people that I have seen throughout 985 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,760 Speaker 16: my life and been privileged to watch play. 986 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 10: I think about the people that I've. 987 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 16: Never seen play and the legends and the stories you 988 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 16: hear of them. And I was thinking last night as 989 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 16: he was walked for the fourth time and on base 990 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 16: for the eighth time, thinking, in one hundred years from now, 991 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 16: are people going to talk about Sho Heo Tani the 992 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 16: way that we talk about Babe Ruth. And that's what's 993 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 16: really interesting to me. Now it'll be different because they'll 994 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 16: have video available, and they'll have more stories available, and 995 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 16: so much more written and shown and recorded of what 996 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 16: Show Hay's done compared to what Babe Ruth did. But 997 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 16: are we gonna look back in one hundred years? And 998 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 16: I kind of laughed to myself, Or are kids gonna say, oh, look, 999 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 16: he was only hitting against guys who were throwing a hundred. 1000 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 16: He was playing against a bunch of plumbers, you know, 1001 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 16: because people are going to evolve, people are going to change, 1002 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 16: and guys are gonna throw one hundred and fifteen, one 1003 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 16: hundred and twenty miles an hour in one hundred years. 1004 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 16: And are we going to appreciate Sho heo Tani the 1005 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 16: way we talk about legends like Babe Ruth. To me, 1006 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 16: it's like this, there are a handful of people that 1007 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 16: transcend sports fans in the pop culture, and he's one 1008 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 16: of those guys that I can be. And I'll be 1009 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 16: tonight at home watching the game, and when Sho Haotani hits, 1010 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 16: I'll say to my family, who's around the house doing 1011 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,359 Speaker 16: other things, Show hayes up, and everybody will come around 1012 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,839 Speaker 16: the TV, including my wife, who isn't a huge baseball fan. 1013 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 16: She loves the Reds, but outside of that, she'll come 1014 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 16: watch and see what sho hao Tani does, and to me, 1015 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 16: that's the measure of someone who's not just a sports star, 1016 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 16: but an icon, and that's what sho Haotani has become. 1017 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 16: On top of it, the guy's extremely likable and I 1018 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 16: find him fascinating to watch the way he handles himself, 1019 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 16: the way he carries himself, considering his star power, and 1020 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 16: the way he has globally. I just think it's a 1021 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 16: cool thing to know that at one hundred years, when 1022 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 16: we're long gone, Tony, that people are going to be 1023 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 16: talking about a guy that we got to watch every 1024 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 16: single day when we wanted to. 1025 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 2: Let's switch gears. I hate to do it. We've got 1026 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,240 Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about the Bengals and the Jets. 1027 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: Thirty nine thirty eight, five hundred and two yards of 1028 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 2: total offense for the Jets. We'll have a comment or 1029 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 2: two about the offensive side of the ball. Let's start 1030 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 2: with the defense, Joe, somehow, some way, after the historically 1031 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 2: bad defense we saw last year, they're worse in many 1032 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,760 Speaker 2: categories this year. How have we gotten to this point 1033 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 2: and is it something that can be fixed over the 1034 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 2: course of an offseason or does this take multiple years 1035 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,959 Speaker 2: now to do well. 1036 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 16: I'd love to play back our conversations and us talking 1037 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 16: about this defense going back to training camp and off 1038 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 16: seasons and talking about how they weren't going to fix 1039 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 16: this just in one offseason, but they can start to 1040 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 16: take steps, and how we said we're not going to 1041 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 16: be fooled by what they do in training camp or 1042 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 16: what people say about them. We're not going to be 1043 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 16: fooled about how they look and we won. We're really 1044 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 16: going to judge this team when it's real, when they're 1045 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 16: playing real offenses. And here we are halfway through a 1046 00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 16: season and they are who we thought they were. They 1047 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 16: just did not add enough difference making talent to take 1048 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 16: the kind of leap that they would need to take 1049 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,720 Speaker 16: from last year to this year. They invested in change 1050 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:16,799 Speaker 16: in coordinator, they invested in change in draft capital, and 1051 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 16: it hasn't added up to enough for this team to 1052 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 16: be better defensively. Now, I had the idea of Sunday 1053 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 16: night when I got back and we were talking amongst 1054 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 16: ourselves in the sports department about what's the deal with 1055 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 16: the Bengals defense, And it's so simplistic to me, It's 1056 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,719 Speaker 16: just a lack of elite talent and you look at 1057 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 16: what this team has done. They've chosen that way to 1058 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,959 Speaker 16: build their defense, that way being draft, develop, and try 1059 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 16: to keep, and it hasn't worked. I challenge you to 1060 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,760 Speaker 16: go back and look at the Bengals drafts and find 1061 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,800 Speaker 16: the last time they drafted someone who turned into a star. 1062 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 16: And I think locally we would argue Jesse Bates in 1063 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 16: twenty eighteen was a star here in Cincinnati, but I 1064 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 16: don't think he's a national football star the way some 1065 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 16: of these defensive players are talked about around the league. 1066 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 16: You go back then to twenty ten in Gino Watkins, 1067 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,760 Speaker 16: a guy who's going to be in the Ring of Honor, 1068 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 16: a guy who deserves a fair shake for the Hall 1069 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 16: of Fame. 1070 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 10: I mean, those are really the only two star. 1071 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 16: Players I can find in the last fifteen years of drafting. 1072 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,400 Speaker 16: And that's the plan and the only way this team 1073 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 16: can do this to fix their defense because of what 1074 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 16: they spent offensively. The plan was pay the guys on offense, draft, develop, 1075 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 16: and hope they develop into good players on defense, and 1076 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,279 Speaker 16: it hasn't worked. It's simple to me. We can talk 1077 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 16: about tackling, we can talk about schemes, we can talk 1078 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 16: about coaching, to me, it's about the talent. There's not 1079 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 16: enough elite talent on this defense for them to close 1080 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 16: the gap from what they were last year to getting 1081 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,359 Speaker 16: better and being functional this year. 1082 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 2: So, saying that, and I completely agree with that centem it, 1083 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 2: how do you lean on any faith that next year 1084 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 2: it'll be different, that though all of a sudden be 1085 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,879 Speaker 2: able to evaluate these players differently and they'll hit home 1086 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 2: runs in the draft, because there has been so many misses, 1087 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 2: So how could you have faith that going into the 1088 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 2: next draft things would be different. 1089 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 12: You don't. 1090 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 16: And that's the reality of the situation. And that's what's 1091 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 16: so worrisome I would think for Cincinnati Bengals fans, is 1092 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 16: you don't have that faith that they will be better that, Oh, 1093 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 16: give them six more swings, they're bound to hit a 1094 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 16: home run at some point. Well, they've had a lot 1095 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 16: of swings and they haven't hit home runs, and so 1096 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 16: at some point you just wonder how many times are 1097 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 16: they going to strike out before a change is made. Now, 1098 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 16: I'll say this to that point too, is I've brought 1099 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 16: up many times when it came to roster construction, is 1100 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 16: signing T Higgins the best thing for this roster. Could 1101 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 16: you take that money and spend it elsewhere? And the 1102 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 16: question would be do you trust that they had that 1103 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 16: money they would spend it correctly or if they spend. 1104 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 10: It at all. So it's almost a. 1105 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 16: Moot conversation to have about what they should have or 1106 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 16: shouldn't have done with TM Higgins because there's no faith 1107 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 16: what they would have done with that money in the 1108 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 16: first place. So yeah, I think you have to question 1109 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 16: that can they use another offseason to get this thing fixed? 1110 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 16: Because they just took five swings at it in the draft, 1111 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 16: They just made a change at defensive coordinator and all 1112 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 16: that investment and change, the net return is zilch. It 1113 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 16: hasn't been better, And that to me has to be 1114 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 16: the most worrisome thing going forward is there's no track 1115 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 16: record of this thing being any better next year. 1116 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 3: Well, the good news is Joe that there was a 1117 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,720 Speaker 3: player's only defensive meeting yesterday, which that can only mean 1118 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 3: good things, right, Like, what did you hear, if anything 1119 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 3: about that meeting? And you know, do we know who 1120 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 3: let it or or if there are any leaders emerging 1121 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 3: on the defense as they go through this. 1122 00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 16: So I spent some time with Demetrious Night yesterday and 1123 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,439 Speaker 16: he did his big media scrum, and then I wanted 1124 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 16: to spend some time for this purpose to ask these 1125 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:12,200 Speaker 16: kinds of questions. And he wouldn't go into detail of 1126 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 16: who spoke, but he said, in general, some names, and 1127 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,439 Speaker 16: then the names you would expect the guys that he 1128 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 16: had stood up and were leaders in that point, the 1129 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 16: BJ Hills, the older guys on defense. The Trey Hendrickson 1130 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 16: is another name he mentioned. And I asked him, can 1131 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 16: young guys be leaders, because some of these defensive players 1132 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 16: are in position to be leaders. And he fixed the 1133 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 16: profile of a guy that you would want speaking in 1134 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 16: that meeting, considering his age, his maturity, his position, and 1135 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 16: he said, the best thing a young person can do 1136 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 16: to be a leader when of his age of his experience. 1137 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 10: Is be a good listener. 1138 00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 16: And so that told me at that point that he 1139 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 16: didn't feel comfortable standing up in front of that room 1140 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 16: and having guys listen to him. And how could you 1141 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 16: if you're if you're a Barrett Carter and a Demetrious 1142 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 16: Knight and you're not playing well enough for for guys 1143 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 16: to want to rally around you and. 1144 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 10: Listen to what you say. And I spoke and I 1145 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 10: spent some. 1146 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 16: Time with him about the tackling thing, because you know, 1147 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 16: we've talked about the tackling thing, and I've been curious 1148 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 16: of what guys can do in practice to help this 1149 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 16: throughout the year because once you get out of training camp, there. 1150 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,320 Speaker 10: Just isn't a lot of hitting there. 1151 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 16: There isn't going to the ground. And he said, well, 1152 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 16: on Thursdays, they they do go to padded practice. And 1153 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 16: he made some changes last week when going against the 1154 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 16: scout team about tackling with his feet and being present 1155 01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 16: with his feet and running through defenders and studdying when 1156 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 16: he can, and he thought it made a difference in 1157 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 16: his game and he shared that with some teammates and 1158 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 16: he thought that might help them going forward. So we 1159 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 16: don't know exactly what Zach Taylor means when he says 1160 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 16: they have to get creative in practice about helping these 1161 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 16: guys tackle. He wouldn't give those details even off the record, 1162 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 16: but Demetrius and I did shed some light on some 1163 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 16: Thursday ideas and some Thursday sutting that can help this 1164 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 16: team maybe go forward with the tackling. But to me, 1165 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 16: it all comes. 1166 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 10: Back to just a lack of ability a lack of talent. 1167 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 10: We hear the word hesitancy. 1168 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 16: I think that comes with guys not having confidence in themselves, 1169 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 16: and guys don't have confidence in themselves as they're not 1170 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 16: elite players, and I think that's where it still comes down. 1171 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 2: That's that's the hard part. When you have a player's 1172 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 2: only meeting whoever speaking you want to hear from, but 1173 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 2: you're also as a player thinking, well, what's this guy 1174 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 2: talking about. I'm watching his tape and it's not much 1175 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 2: better than mine. So they they don't have enough players 1176 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 2: playing an elite level that you're looking for a leader, 1177 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 2: and I don't know how you establish one. Have you 1178 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,439 Speaker 2: have you at Fox nineteen. Have you had to call 1179 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 2: a meeting of that nature at any time? 1180 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,080 Speaker 10: No, because we tackle well with Channel nineteen, I have. 1181 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 16: I have had meetings with younger people that I work with, 1182 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 16: but but listen. 1183 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 10: And those those come. 1184 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 16: I've been in the business for twenty four to twenty 1185 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 16: five years, so I can I can speak from a 1186 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:24,760 Speaker 16: position of experience and a position of teaching, and I 1187 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 16: wouldn't feel comfortable when I was working under Dan Horde, 1188 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 16: when I was working under Brian Deesen's law, when I 1189 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 16: was working under Zach Wells, guys that I work with 1190 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 16: and respect so much to stand in a room and 1191 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 16: try to tell them to follow me or do it 1192 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 16: a certain way so I can see the point that 1193 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 16: a guy like Demetrius Knight is making, that that a 1194 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 16: Barrett Carter is making. And I go back to some 1195 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 16: of the off season conversations I had with the guys 1196 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 16: like Jordan Battle who who said they wanted to empower 1197 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 16: those kind of guys to be young guys in positions 1198 01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 16: of importance, to have that feeling that they can go 1199 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 16: in front of the team and speak it. But it 1200 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 16: just doesn't work that way until you have, as you said, 1201 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,640 Speaker 16: the tape to prove you're a guy you're an alpha, 1202 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 16: or the experience that. 1203 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 10: Proves you're a guy you're an alpha. 1204 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 16: You don't feel comfortable doing that, and you know we've 1205 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,919 Speaker 16: entered the players only portion of the season that that's 1206 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 16: never a good thing for a season. 1207 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 10: We'll see what it's made of. 1208 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 16: And Zach Taylor was different on Sunday. You don't see 1209 01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 16: Zach oftentimes kind of go at his team a little bit. 1210 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 16: The way he did call players out the way he 1211 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 16: did didn't do it by name, but in general he 1212 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 16: typically doesn't do that. 1213 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 19: It typically is. 1214 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 16: An accountability on him that it starts with him stops 1215 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 16: with him. So for him to challenge the defense the way. 1216 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 10: He did, maybe that resonates. 1217 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 16: Maybe it makes a difference because it does feel like 1218 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,080 Speaker 16: a season again back on life support after the loss 1219 01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 16: against the Jets. 1220 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 2: On the offensive side of the ball, it's hard to 1221 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 2: pick apart much of what the offense is done. They're 1222 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 2: running the ball much better, they've protected better, Flacco has 1223 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 2: been spreading the ball out. Two things that I go 1224 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,560 Speaker 2: back to. One, you have to find a way to 1225 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 2: target t Higgins more than twice in a football game 1226 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 2: in the NFL. And I don't know if that's a 1227 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor thing, if there's someone on staff that needs 1228 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 2: to maybe remind Zac at times of hey, I know 1229 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 2: things are going crazy here, but just so you know, 1230 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 2: you know, we're at the point of the game and 1231 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 2: he's got two touches. The other thing to me is 1232 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 2: wide receiver number three. Austin alluded to some statistics earlier 1233 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 2: about the lack of separation by andre Yoshivash, not making 1234 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 2: contested catches and the drop totals that he's had this year, 1235 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 2: and at the same time, Mitchell Tinsley is not getting 1236 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 2: many reps. Jermaine Burton, who I think had a good 1237 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 2: training camp, he was drafted in the third round, is 1238 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 2: not getting an opportunity. Does this team need to evaluate 1239 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 2: wide receiver number three in your opinion? 1240 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 19: So we spoke with Andre Yoshibats yesterday and you can 1241 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 19: find those clips, and it was interesting that it didn't 1242 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 19: feel like Andre fully understood the criticism that was starting 1243 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 19: to come his way. 1244 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 10: That that I'm. 1245 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 16: Not sure he's aware that the finger pointing in the 1246 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 16: crosshairs that he's in with the fan base at this point, 1247 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 16: which I found interesting from him not knowing that or 1248 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 16: having a sent that that's happening. 1249 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:26,880 Speaker 10: The issue I would. 1250 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 16: Have with wide receiver number three is who fits the 1251 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 16: profile of filling in that position. From watching Jermaine Burton, 1252 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 16: Jermaine Burton didn't look like he would be successful as 1253 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 16: a slot wide receiver in that short space separation. 1254 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 10: I didn't see it. 1255 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 16: He looked like an outside receiver to me, So I 1256 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 16: don't know if there's really a position for him to 1257 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 16: go in and fill in for Andrea Yoshivas. The same 1258 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 16: thing goes with Mitchell Tinsey. Mitchell Tinsey looks like an 1259 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 16: outside wide receiver option, and I'm not sure he exactly 1260 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 16: fits the profile what they're looking for at a guy 1261 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 16: at that spot. 1262 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 10: And I think that's. 1263 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 16: Why you've seen them stick with Andre Yoshibas through a 1264 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 16: lot of his struggles here so far this season. You know, 1265 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 16: he talked in the offseason, even Joe Burrow did, about 1266 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 16: his ability and his growth in making contested catches, and 1267 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 16: it just hasn't shown up so far in games this year. 1268 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 16: But even if Mitchell Tindley and Jermaine Burton don't fit 1269 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 16: the profile necessarily of what the Bengals are looking for 1270 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 16: from a third wide receiver, maybe maybe that's something they 1271 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 16: have to work on more. Maybe that's something they have 1272 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 16: to experiment more with during practice, and maybe that's something 1273 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 16: during the bye week that they spend a lot of 1274 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 16: time on to give someone else a shot. Because even 1275 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 16: if they don't profile as well as a Yoshi vas 1276 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 16: or a Tyler Voyd at that position, the third receiver 1277 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:57,919 Speaker 16: next to Tea and Jamar Chase, certainly someone else could 1278 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 16: be more productive in that spot to go with Andre, 1279 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,920 Speaker 16: and the drops right now just aren't good enough. And 1280 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 16: the team needs more from him, and then as far 1281 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 16: as he goes, yeah, just throwing the ball more. I 1282 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 16: think when you go look at the box square to 1283 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 16: the game, the coaches are going to look at each 1284 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 16: other and say, Okay, how many targets to Jamar and 1285 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 16: only two to Tea. They invested way too much money 1286 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,439 Speaker 16: in that guy for him owing to get the ball 1287 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 16: thrown to him twice before I. 1288 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Let you go, Joe. The UC Bearcats head to Utah 1289 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 2: late start Saturday night. They're getting nine and a half 1290 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 2: points in this game. Why is this a tough matchup 1291 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 2: in your opinion? 1292 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 10: Because of the. 1293 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 16: Way Utah runs the ball and their philosophy on offense. Now, 1294 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 16: a lot of this is going to hinge on Utah's 1295 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 16: quarterback Devin dan Pier. He did not play last week. 1296 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 16: They played a true freshman and he was electric against Colorado. 1297 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 16: Now that was Colorado when it looked like Colorado let 1298 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 16: go of the rope about midway through the second quarter. 1299 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,680 Speaker 16: But the way that Utah plays, the physicality on an 1300 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 16: off their commitment to running the ball is going to 1301 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 16: be a strength on what's been a bit of a 1302 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 16: soft spot for UC defensively. So I can understand why 1303 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 16: the point spread is the way it is, but I 1304 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 16: think it hinges on how healthy is Devin Dan Pierce 1305 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 16: Ankle Will he be himself? Because when he's himself he's 1306 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 16: as dangerous of a two way threat as anybody in 1307 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 16: the conference that includes Brendan Sorsby, but Storesby and that 1308 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,799 Speaker 16: offense gives you see a chance against anybody in this conference. 1309 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 16: I think that the point total is spread right now 1310 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 16: is too high, but I think that really does depend 1311 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 16: on what they get out of their quarterback at Utah. 1312 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe Daniman Fox nineteen. What do you got coming 1313 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 2: up this week?

Coach I saw five guys make the 1396 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 27: exact same mistake on the same play, but anyway they 1397 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 27: come back. Moo mentioned that it was a shorter than 1398 01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,679 Speaker 27: usual presser. Well, that's because that had a game plan 1399 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 27: for once and it was executed the perfection.

And everybody talks 1450 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,679 Speaker 31: about his record without Joe Burrow, which I think sits 1451 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,559 Speaker 31: at nine and twenty seven at the moment, I think 1452 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,719 Speaker 31: the more damning stat is his record with Joe Burrow 1453 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,720 Speaker 31: forty thirty and one. That's a fifty six win percentage 1454 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,200 Speaker 31: with arguably the best quarterback on the plane. 1455 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:56,639 Speaker 32: Oh, the Bengals lost Sunday.

I like her 1458 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,880 Speaker 32: a little bit, oh. 1459 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 2: Miles Murphy. 1460 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 32: I mean, I don't know if they could get maybe 1461 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 32: a box and nails form. 1462 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 2: A show from Casey here. 1463 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 18: You talk about bringing in free agents and people that 1464 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 18: are established in the league and proven track records. For me, 1465 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 18: that's even more case to get rid of the coaching staff. 1466 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 20: They got to go. 1467 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 18: Because they've done that on the O line. They brought 1468 01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 18: in people who've been in won super Bowls, all those things. 1469 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,519 Speaker 18: If you look at the past, you know, however many 1470 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,479 Speaker 18: years and they all come here and just forget how. 1471 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, or they don't develop, or they don't fit the system. 1472 01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:52,719 Speaker 33: Rip in the city out here in sunny hot and Zona. 1473 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 2: What up, Tony? 1474 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 5: What up? 1475 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 33: Buddy Man? F c cis Sinnatty. Gotta give you guys 1476 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,840 Speaker 33: some love. The atmosphere is phenomenal. TG on the radio 1477 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:04,599 Speaker 33: with fire homestickling at that crowd, beautiful Bengals Man. Our 1478 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 33: defense is wash mellows saw. Let's just be real straight 1479 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,479 Speaker 33: bones on defense. Figure way to be Chicago, and I 1480 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 33: don't trust Dupe neither Utah. 1481 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 34: S in it. 1482 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:14,880 Speaker 33: The reason why the Big Twilo is on the map. 1483 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,639 Speaker 33: We've got to come out there and smoke them. Used 1484 01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,120 Speaker 33: they ain't raising for this type of smoke. We'll running 1485 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 33: the Big twelve marshmallow soft. That's soft. 1486 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 7: Hey, guys, it's JD from Chicago, just thinking that with 1487 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 7: the Bengals having to rebuild all four layers of their 1488 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 7: defense defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks, safeties, is there too much 1489 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 7: overall needed to wait until next season to start this. 1490 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 7: Shouldn't they try to tackle at least one of those 1491 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,000 Speaker 7: areas between now and the trade deadline? 1492 01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? I would, because I just don't trust that they 1493 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 2: can attack it in the offseason, because we just watched 1494 01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 2: them fail miserably at attacking it in an off season. 1495 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,400 Speaker 3: It would make sense to make moves now that help 1496 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 3: you now and help you down the road. Or the 1497 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 3: Bengals typically will put it off until later on and 1498 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 3: see what happens then. But it would make sense to 1499 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 3: help yourself now if you can. 1500 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, I see no reason why this Bengals team should 1501 01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 17: be buyers in the deadline. 1502 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 2: They should absolutely be sellers and. 1503 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,600 Speaker 17: You outlined it yesterday. They're not close to winning or 1504 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 17: competing for anything right now, So one or two guys 1505 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,680 Speaker 17: at the deadline in in gonna change that. There are 1506 01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 17: so many holes in this team it is going to 1507 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,439 Speaker 17: take multiple off seasons to fix the amount of holes. 1508 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 17: They got to compete for where they want to go 1509 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 17: and Ohio State plus two sixty to win it all. 1510 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 17: The next closest team is Indiana a plus six hundred. 1511 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 2: That is a huge gap. Yeah, I think that gap 1512 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 2: is genuine as well. 1513 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,599 Speaker 3: I would sprinkle on Indiana by the way, em bullish 1514 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:49,440 Speaker 3: on the Hoosiers. 1515 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:50,800 Speaker 2: I really think they can do it. 1516 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 3: The problem with your argument there is the Bengals have 1517 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:03,839 Speaker 3: one one sellable asset and it's Trey Henderson. 1518 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,160 Speaker 2: And who's hurt? He may not play this week. Heard 1519 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 2: it the worst time possible. Correct. 1520 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 21: There's only one way for this team to make a 1521 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 21: complete three six team. The Cincinnati Bengals need to have 1522 01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,559 Speaker 21: one with blackburn girls come down to the sidelines with 1523 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 21: a headset on and listen to every play that comes in. 1524 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 2: For the d bridge. 1525 01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 3: Don't hate that idea matter of fact, we have some 1526 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:34,680 Speaker 3: carly erse Gordon audio to get to. 1527 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,759 Speaker 35: Tony Audie, I got some nice things to say about 1528 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,800 Speaker 35: your main sponsor, Skyline. I was at Krager today and 1529 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 35: they were passing out samples of the Skyline chili made 1530 01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:49,840 Speaker 35: that chili made with chicken. Yes, it was really really close. 1531 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,840 Speaker 35: They did a really good job of making that recipe. 1532 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,479 Speaker 35: And I think if you made three ways, four ways, 1533 01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 35: five ways at home, you wouldn't be able to tell 1534 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 35: it difference. 1535 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 3: And it's healthier, okay, Yeah, I'm not kidding, like it's 1536 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 3: unbelievably good, okay, And I think it's it's not exactly 1537 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,439 Speaker 3: the same, but it's not dissimilar in a bad way. 1538 01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 3: It's still good. 1539 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 2: Hey, guys, Marcus from the grove. Marcus, you guys know me. 1540 01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 28: Of course I stayed up to watch that game more 1541 01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 28: because I'm antiv ghost running rule in the regular season, 1542 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 28: so me watching extra inning games is real baseball to me, 1543 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:33,280 Speaker 28: and I enjoy every second of it. To go to 1544 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 28: the Bengal side of it, people need to stop with 1545 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,960 Speaker 28: the narrative of chalk the season up. Wait till next year, 1546 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,679 Speaker 28: burrows on. They got a few years left and everybody 1547 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 28: does know he can leave. 1548 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't want to start down that path. 1549 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,440 Speaker 36: I've been very pessimistic about the twenty twenty five Cincinnati 1550 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 36: Bengals for the following reasons. Number one since Nati Bengal 1551 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 36: head cheerleader Dan Board on your show saying that how 1552 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,599 Speaker 36: Golden was an upgrade from lou and Ariumo. Number two, 1553 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,240 Speaker 36: Shamar Stewart's saying that the Bengals care more about winning 1554 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,559 Speaker 36: arguments than winning number three numerosias and outing the Bengals 1555 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 36: for being cheap. Number four, Tony Pike's bleak training camp reports. 1556 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 36: Number five Loogan Wilson asking for a mid season. 1557 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 8: Training Damn, Hey, Tony, just wonder if you could speak 1558 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,880 Speaker 8: to why when we watched the Bengals the field seems 1559 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 8: so small and when the Chiefs play, it seems so 1560 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 8: frigging big. It wasn't always that way, but I'm just 1561 01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 8: thinking of how Kelsey will block and then leak out 1562 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,040 Speaker 8: at the last minute, and there's just not a soul 1563 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:46,600 Speaker 8: around the man. Are the Bengals seeing these things as well? 1564 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:47,200 Speaker 9: Thanks, Buddy. 1565 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 2: I've always said it'd be nice to just, you know, 1566 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 2: emulating and copycat from what other teams do successfully, but sure, 1567 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 2: whatever reason, it's just not in the cards. 1568 01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,559 Speaker 37: Hey, I noticed that during the very well deserved Ring 1569 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,120 Speaker 37: of Honor ceremonies for a Lamb and Leap and Lamar, 1570 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 37: the Bengals did not introduce the other legends that were 1571 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:05,720 Speaker 37: in attendance. 1572 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 2: What is up with that? 1573 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,679 Speaker 3: You don't have time for it? NFL halftimes only twelve minutes. 1574 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 3: You gotta do a video tribute to each of them. 1575 01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 3: You got to get them both out there. You got 1576 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 3: to present them with the jacket. You got to take 1577 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:18,679 Speaker 3: the pictures. You got to get them off the field. 1578 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,200 Speaker 3: Not enough time to roll through the other fifteen or 1579 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 3: twenty guys who might have been there. 1580 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:26,000 Speaker 25: I know who the top three candidates are. That would 1581 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 25: be the assistant running backs coach for the Patriots, or 1582 01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:35,640 Speaker 25: the trainer for Seattle, or maybe the equipment manager for 1583 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 25: the Raiders. Heard they're all real good guys. Since we 1584 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 25: decided to hire a quarterback coach instead of a coordinator. 1585 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:53,639 Speaker 38: I would trade Trey Hendrickson for two draft picks. Then 1586 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 38: I would trade for Max Crosby, give him a first 1587 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 38: and maybe a sixth, and then I'd get Thibodeaux from 1588 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 38: the Giants and give them a draft pick or two. 1589 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:11,599 Speaker 2: And then I'd have two proven defensive ends. 1590 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,960 Speaker 38: That rushed the passer and it wouldn't cost me much more. 1591 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 2: We we don't use our draft picks anyway. And then 1592 01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,240 Speaker 2: you wake up because you're in fantasy. 1593 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 12: Lambs come ba Hello Austin.

Did you think that 1598 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,600 Speaker 2: was funny?

Yeah, what 1634 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 2: did you make of the tone? I had people ask 1635 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,679 Speaker 2: me what I thought of the tone of Jamar Chase 1636 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,680 Speaker 2: and do you have a problem with what he had 1637 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 2: to say? Look, I think Jamar Chase is a leader 1638 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 2: on this team. 1639 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:51,400 Speaker 8: Now. 1640 01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 2: I also think Jamar Chase is a is a guy 1641 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,880 Speaker 2: that wears his emotions on his sleeves. And I think 1642 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:58,720 Speaker 2: more than anything, Jamar Chase is a guy that wants 1643 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,920 Speaker 2: to win, does not care for he has twenty catches 1644 01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 2: or two catches. He wants to win. And many times 1645 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:08,040 Speaker 2: in his post game he was asked about the defense, 1646 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 2: he said, I don't play defense, I play offense. Asked 1647 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 2: them yep. Many times in the post game he said, 1648 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,519 Speaker 2: that's not a question for me. Asked the head coach 1649 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 2: asked Zach Taylor. Yeah, I don't have an issue with 1650 01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 2: that from your star player. 1651 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,559 Speaker 3: And it's not abnormal. He's given that answer before. Correct 1652 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,200 Speaker 3: not my job or that's a question for Zach. 1653 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:28,040 Speaker 2: That's my thing. 1654 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 3: If it's true, then I appreciate the honesty like that. 1655 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:36,639 Speaker 2: That, to me is what I want in a leader. 1656 01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:38,840 Speaker 2: I don't want someone to sugarcoat things and say, well, 1657 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 2: we've got to be better, we'll get back to the 1658 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 2: drawing board. I want a guy that say, listen, we 1659 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,439 Speaker 2: essentially we put up thirty eight points. I don't play defense. 1660 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,800 Speaker 2: Go talk to them, make them answer for it. I'm 1661 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 2: not the head coach. Go ask him. He was also, 1662 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,639 Speaker 2: I thought, as critical as he could be. He said, listen, 1663 01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, they doubled me. They doubled They 1664 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 2: put single coverage on Dray Mean and andre Yoshi Vashon, 1665 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 2: they blitzed. That's essentially him saying, if you're single covered, 1666 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 2: you gotta win. I don't have a problem with any 1667 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 2: of it. 1668 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,720 Speaker 3: Also, you know, there's a difference between you know, Ted 1669 01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 3: Carris is saying, we scored thirty eight, but we had 1670 01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:19,640 Speaker 3: to score forty to win, and it just sucks. It's 1671 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 3: a terrible feeling. Okay, that's fine, but like, let's let's 1672 01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 3: have some accountability. Let's hold people to a standard. 1673 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:27,599 Speaker 4: Now. 1674 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 3: Jamar also, by the way, dropped a pass that maybe 1675 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 3: could have won them the game. And I'm sure there 1676 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 3: was some displeasure with himself. I also don't think he 1677 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 3: was asked about it, which you know, I'm curious to 1678 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 3: see his answer on that. Right, it wasn't a great throw, 1679 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 3: but it hit Jamar Chase in the hands. 1680 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:47,800 Speaker 2: But knowing him, I would assume he'd say, that's a 1681 01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 2: ball I gotta catch for sure. I have no problem 1682 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 2: with it. 1683 01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,640 Speaker 3: I appreciate honesty, I appreciate transparency, and it felt like 1684 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,639 Speaker 3: to me listening to it. And part of the reason 1685 01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,880 Speaker 3: I heard it when they aired it originally on the 1686 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,160 Speaker 3: Bengals post games and then I played it again. The 1687 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:03,599 Speaker 3: reason I did is because it related to how I 1688 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 3: feel as a Bengals fan. I was angry, I was frustrated. 1689 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 3: I'm mad about the way that this defense continues to 1690 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:15,439 Speaker 3: perform and that thirty eight points wasn't enough against the 1691 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 3: worst team in football, and Jamar had that same feeling, 1692 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 3: and I appreciated and related to that. And I think, 1693 01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,559 Speaker 3: you know, Joe Danaman kind of touched on it. Nack 1694 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 3: Taylor kind of felt the same way, too, correct, Zach 1695 01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 3: kind of one over there to step up. 1696 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take one more break, let's come back. We 1697 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 2: will finish with a quick phone call to end hour. Two, 1698 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,320 Speaker 2: and then Scott Saderfield will get it started now number 1699 01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 2: three next, ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 1700 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,519 Speaker 1: You've been listening to football in the NATI on ESPN 1701 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:50,760 Speaker 1: fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 1702 01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:55,679 Speaker 39: Its close news on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 1703 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,040 Speaker 2: Welcome back our number two come to a close. You'll 1704 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 2: hear from Scott Sadderfield to kick off our three. Next. 1705 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,920 Speaker 2: Before we get to that, a phone call. What's up, Maso? 1706 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:10,920 Speaker 4: What's going on? 1707 01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 12: Boy? 1708 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 2: You tell me that great day, great day. 1709 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:15,639 Speaker 9: Good good. 1710 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:15,960 Speaker 40: Well. 1711 01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:19,000 Speaker 10: I've been sitting here in the past couple of days. 1712 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:22,040 Speaker 40: Listening to people call in and blame Duke Tobin a lot, 1713 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 40: and rightfully so. 1714 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:28,760 Speaker 41: But it got me thinking, how many guys do we 1715 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 41: have in the scouting department? If I recall, don't we 1716 01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,599 Speaker 41: only have like six and the rest of the NFL 1717 01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,320 Speaker 41: has like twenty four or something. 1718 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:36,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1719 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,760 Speaker 3: I think the biggest scouting department in the NFL is 1720 01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:40,639 Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns. 1721 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 2: They have like. 1722 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 4: Thirty, Okay, And who's decision is that? 1723 01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:46,280 Speaker 2: It's a good question. 1724 01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 3: I think it's it's mainly up to Duke to Duke 1725 01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:53,680 Speaker 3: his staff yeah, I think so. 1726 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 40: I don't know, Okay, it is his call, Okay, I 1727 01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:00,479 Speaker 40: wasn't sure if it was Mike Brown and Katie's call, 1728 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,639 Speaker 40: you know that on that or if it is Duke. 1729 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,519 Speaker 2: Because I'm sure they play a role in that. 1730 01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 40: I was gonna say, because you know they they probably 1731 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:12,160 Speaker 40: deserve a little heat too. It's like you could probably 1732 01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:16,000 Speaker 40: bring Howie Roseman and come from Philly and he's gonna fail. 1733 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 40: And with the Bengals if you're only you know, employeeing 1734 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:22,320 Speaker 40: six guys is on the scouting department. 1735 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 2: I feel like with some of it too. Like my 1736 01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:26,759 Speaker 2: thing would be like if Duke were to go upstairs 1737 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 2: and say, hey, I need to hire more scouts because 1738 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,240 Speaker 2: of this. Is that something they're open to or is 1739 01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 2: that something that Duke just kind of keeps in house 1740 01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,639 Speaker 2: and he's good with how there that would be behind 1741 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,360 Speaker 2: the scenes that I just don't know we know, But. 1742 01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,439 Speaker 3: It is important to note they have expanded that over 1743 01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,080 Speaker 3: the last couple of years. They added a director of 1744 01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:48,840 Speaker 3: football Research, they added a scout, They've done more data 1745 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:52,880 Speaker 3: stuff like it has advanced. It's still not nearly what 1746 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 3: I guess the baseline NFL level of a scouting department 1747 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,519 Speaker 3: would be, but it's still I guess going in the 1748 01:31:58,600 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 3: right direction. 1749 01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, gotcha, Okay, Yeah, that's I was just kind of 1750 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 4: curious on who made that call because I knew the 1751 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 4: Bengals were on the low end, you know, as having 1752 01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:12,519 Speaker 4: personnel in that department. So I just feel like, you know, he's. 1753 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 41: Kind of already got his hands tied behind his back. 1754 01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 4: But if that's his call, then yeah, then that's on him. 1755 01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:21,639 Speaker 2: So yeah, all rights, yep, Yeah, I think it would 1756 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,880 Speaker 2: be interesting on you know, if you were to go 1757 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 2: up and say, way, we need more people, what that 1758 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,559 Speaker 2: would be met with. But again, I go back to 1759 01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:31,280 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. You know, you see Iowa 1760 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 2: State a lot of NFL teams in attendance. No one 1761 01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 2: from the Bengals drove ten minutes up the road. 1762 01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,040 Speaker 3: Now who we don't know what their assignments were that 1763 01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:44,800 Speaker 3: weekend and if Duke was, you know, somewhere else, if 1764 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 3: he was at an Ohio State game or who knows. 1765 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,760 Speaker 3: But that's an example of well, if you have ten 1766 01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:51,840 Speaker 3: guys instead of six, maybe one of them ends up 1767 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 3: at UC yeah and on the road, have a relationship 1768 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,719 Speaker 3: with one of those players or one of those coaches 1769 01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,040 Speaker 3: either at UC or Iowa State or both or whatever 1770 01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:02,360 Speaker 3: it might be. Just looking at the directory right now 1771 01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:05,240 Speaker 3: on the Bengals website, you've got Duke Tobin as the 1772 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 3: director of player Personnel. You've got Trey Labouni, which is 1773 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:16,519 Speaker 3: the director of scouting research basically which I don't know. 1774 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,639 Speaker 3: I would love to know exactly what that is. Tyler 1775 01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 3: Ramsey is a scout. Tyler Josh Hinch is a scout. 1776 01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:29,080 Speaker 3: They have two assistant general managers, Steven Radisivik and Mike Potts, 1777 01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:33,200 Speaker 3: which are basically similar to It's funny. They're assistant general managers, 1778 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 3: but there's no official general manager, so they have all 1779 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:43,360 Speaker 3: sorts of different stuff in that player personnel department. 1780 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 2: Sure, our three is next.

The head football coach 1796 01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,439 Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Bearcats spoke to the media just a 1797 01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 2: few hours ago, and here's what he had to say. 1798 01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,200 Speaker 42: Yeah, I think just you know, going back to Saturday, 1799 01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 42: obviously proud of the guys, the way they came out 1800 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:55,400 Speaker 42: and played right from the start, got a good lead 1801 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 42: and really a little bit of a lull again there 1802 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:00,760 Speaker 42: in the second half, but hearn it on again on 1803 01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 42: the fourth quarter. So just just proud of how they finished. 1804 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,439 Speaker 42: Great atmosphere there at Nippert homecoming. It was awesome to 1805 01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,639 Speaker 42: see everybody in red and for us to be able 1806 01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:12,200 Speaker 42: to go out and get a great win that was 1807 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:14,600 Speaker 42: obviously huge too. And you know, it just keeps us 1808 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,240 Speaker 42: uh keeps us going and uh and now. 1809 01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 2: It leads to this week. 1810 01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:20,400 Speaker 42: You know, a tough opportunity for us to go to 1811 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 42: Utah and play one of the hotter teams. I think 1812 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,320 Speaker 42: that's out there, especially them playing at home. They did 1813 01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 42: have an outstanding home field advantage in that stadium, and 1814 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,080 Speaker 42: you know, coach Widiam has been there a long time, 1815 01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:34,240 Speaker 42: I think this twenty first year as the head coach, 1816 01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:37,280 Speaker 42: and has implemented a lot of great ball there over 1817 01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 42: the years, especially defensively. I think they're kind of known 1818 01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 42: for that this year. Have an outstanding offense and they're 1819 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:45,880 Speaker 42: able to run the football. They keep a lot of 1820 01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,600 Speaker 42: pressure on the on the defense, and you know, I 1821 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 42: think obviously it'll be a tough challenge for us, you know, 1822 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,200 Speaker 42: but we're looking forward to it. We're excited about it, 1823 01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:55,799 Speaker 42: you know, and got to have a great week of practice. 1824 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:01,680 Speaker 43: You talk about their offense seven damp. There have been 1825 01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 43: a couple of games earlier where it felt like you 1826 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,479 Speaker 43: didn't mind if the quarterback ran around a little bit 1827 01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:11,160 Speaker 43: because you thought you could still contain them to stamp here. 1828 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,360 Speaker 43: Different and a guy that you let him run around 1829 01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,320 Speaker 43: a little bit. You could see some of those sixty 1830 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:17,839 Speaker 43: seventy yard touchdown rounds. 1831 01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:22,160 Speaker 42: Yeah, you know, I think he's certainly an outstanding football player, 1832 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 42: you know, and it's part of what they want to do, 1833 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 42: you know. It's not like you know, I think about 1834 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:28,600 Speaker 42: Central Florida a couple of weeks ago, where you know, 1835 01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:30,559 Speaker 42: they're dropping back and then he's going to scramble to 1836 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,559 Speaker 42: get these arks. These are these are called Q run plays, 1837 01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:37,320 Speaker 42: and you better have your defense set up to handle that. 1838 01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 42: If you're not, it's gonna be a long day, I think, 1839 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:42,320 Speaker 42: you know. And it doesn't matter if it's damp here. 1840 01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:44,520 Speaker 42: It could be the freshman who I had an outstanding 1841 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 42: game this past week too. I mean, maybe as good 1842 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,839 Speaker 42: as half as we've seen all year in college football. 1843 01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:51,599 Speaker 42: You know, close to four hundred yards on one side 1844 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:53,360 Speaker 42: and negative eight teen on the other, and that's that's 1845 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,000 Speaker 42: unheard of. And you know, part of that was the 1846 01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,200 Speaker 42: quarterback run. I mean, I second player of the game 1847 01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 42: broke off with sixty three yarder. I mean, so you 1848 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:02,679 Speaker 42: have to be able to have a bunch of guys 1849 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,080 Speaker 42: around the box, and therefore, when you do that, you're 1850 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,120 Speaker 42: maybe more susceptible to a pass, you know, And so 1851 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 42: I think that's where the pressure they put on you, 1852 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,439 Speaker 42: and you know it's a guy obviously gonna. 1853 01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,559 Speaker 44: Be a great challenge for us. It sounds like they're 1854 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,200 Speaker 44: going to start damp here. But you mentioned the other guy. 1855 01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,519 Speaker 44: How does that affect your preparation? Are they too similar 1856 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:20,880 Speaker 44: or what did you see it? 1857 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:22,680 Speaker 42: Yeah, ount, I don't think they change a whole lot. 1858 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,680 Speaker 42: I mean, that's part of their offense of how they're 1859 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:26,839 Speaker 42: running their offense. You know, it's gonna run through the quarterback. 1860 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:28,759 Speaker 42: They want to run the football a lot of different ways, 1861 01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:32,519 Speaker 42: put stretch on the defense. And obviously, you know, Nampier 1862 01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,320 Speaker 42: is their guy, and if he's healthy and then we 1863 01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,639 Speaker 42: anticipate him playing and you know, but now for them, 1864 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,360 Speaker 42: they got to feel really good about the fact that, 1865 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,519 Speaker 42: hey they got another guy that can put in there 1866 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:44,120 Speaker 42: and had an outstanding game. I think it was a 1867 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:45,920 Speaker 42: Big twelve Player of the Week this past week. So 1868 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 42: but I think, you know, it's what they do scheme wise. 1869 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:50,919 Speaker 42: You just have to defend that whole. 1870 01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:54,439 Speaker 43: Offense first time this year against what most of the 1871 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:58,439 Speaker 43: metrics say is a top ten defense. What are the challenges? 1872 01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:00,679 Speaker 43: They have a high stop rate there, good at getting 1873 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,960 Speaker 43: three and ounce. What are the challenges because you guys 1874 01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 43: have shown if you can get that first first down 1875 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 43: that things really start to snowball for you. 1876 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,080 Speaker 42: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a great defense we're playing. 1877 01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,320 Speaker 42: You know, you mentioned the metrics, and just look at 1878 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:17,040 Speaker 42: some of the stats and then turn the film on 1879 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,639 Speaker 42: and it backs it up. I mean, they're they're very stout. 1880 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,760 Speaker 42: They have two you know, tall, strong defensive ends on 1881 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 42: the edge. I think one of them may be top 1882 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:28,000 Speaker 42: one of the top SAT guys in the country. The 1883 01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:30,480 Speaker 42: other one, I mean, he looks he runs like a linebacker, 1884 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,280 Speaker 42: you know, and then some two big linebackers on the 1885 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:36,200 Speaker 42: inside as well that can move, and then some outstanding 1886 01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:38,280 Speaker 42: DB's and they put pressure on you. I mean, I'm 1887 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 42: watching the Colorado game, and you know, I felt like 1888 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,520 Speaker 42: they pressured them all night, and they lived in the backfield, 1889 01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:46,840 Speaker 42: so they constantly put pressure on the offenses. And you 1890 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 42: have to do a great job of trying to stay 1891 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:51,240 Speaker 42: on the sticks and not getting those long yard of 1892 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 42: situations because if you do, then they got you, you know, 1893 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,360 Speaker 42: and I think, you know, part of that is playing 1894 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:59,080 Speaker 42: clean football, you know. I think, you know, in this environment, 1895 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,040 Speaker 42: it'll be a challenge any because it's gonna be loud, 1896 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 42: you know, for your offense, and you know, for us, 1897 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:06,800 Speaker 42: very similar probably our first game against Airhead, how loud 1898 01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,080 Speaker 42: that was. So you know, so you have to stay 1899 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,800 Speaker 42: on the sticks, you have to stay where you can 1900 01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 42: get those down the distances manageable. And then we got 1901 01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:17,880 Speaker 42: to do a great job of being able to do 1902 01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:19,960 Speaker 42: both run and pass. And I think these guys do 1903 01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:21,680 Speaker 42: a great job of pass defense. They're one of the 1904 01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:24,559 Speaker 42: top pass defensive teams in the country. Uh, And I 1905 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:25,560 Speaker 42: think a lot of it has to do with the 1906 01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:26,840 Speaker 42: pressure they put on you and they play a lot 1907 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:29,000 Speaker 42: of man man to man coach. 1908 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,479 Speaker 34: I was watching the Clifton cut last night. Something that 1909 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 34: caught my attention was the quote that you used put 1910 01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,280 Speaker 34: them in the phone booth. I was just curious if 1911 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:38,160 Speaker 34: you could elaborate a little bit more on that and 1912 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:39,559 Speaker 34: where that quote kind of came from. 1913 01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:41,640 Speaker 42: Yeah, I mean, we were just you know, as we 1914 01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:45,160 Speaker 42: were preparing last week, and really and really it just 1915 01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 42: speaks to being a physical football team. You know, we 1916 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:54,080 Speaker 42: have to you know, impose your will on whoever you're 1917 01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,479 Speaker 42: going against. And really it's the one on one battles 1918 01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:59,400 Speaker 42: throughout the whole day, and it doesn't matter what that 1919 01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 42: battle is, you know, if it's Gavin versus their nose, 1920 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,240 Speaker 42: like he's got to win that battle right there. 1921 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 2: And you can go to. 1922 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:10,160 Speaker 42: Every single position and really just trying to emphasize how 1923 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:11,200 Speaker 42: physical we needed to be. 1924 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 2: And I think and we were. 1925 01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:14,640 Speaker 42: You know, we came out of that game running the 1926 01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,759 Speaker 42: football for two hundred and sixty five yards. We imposed 1927 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 42: our will and I think that's what kind of game 1928 01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,800 Speaker 42: that was last week. You know, now this week you're 1929 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,240 Speaker 42: playing a team I think played the same way as 1930 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:25,760 Speaker 42: we tried to play last week. I think they're a 1931 01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,920 Speaker 42: very physical team. They obviously want to run the football, 1932 01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,680 Speaker 42: played great defense. I mean, this is this is a 1933 01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:33,920 Speaker 42: team like how we wanted to play last week, and 1934 01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:36,320 Speaker 42: so you know this is going to be a very 1935 01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:39,800 Speaker 42: physical contest as we played this week, and you know, 1936 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:40,879 Speaker 42: and I think that's. 1937 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:42,519 Speaker 2: What we have to be able to prepare for as 1938 01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:43,400 Speaker 2: we practice this week. 1939 01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:48,040 Speaker 45: Scott looking at but Tywie Walker being the physical bullet 1940 01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:49,519 Speaker 45: does of a running back that he is, and then 1941 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:52,559 Speaker 45: Evan Pryor, who can hit a home run in basically 1942 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,479 Speaker 45: any play. Was this the vision that you had for 1943 01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:58,720 Speaker 45: these two running backs to really compliment each other. As 1944 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 45: this season has gone on, you got have won seven straight. 1945 01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 42: Games, yeah, I think so. You know, there's been a 1946 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 42: lot of questions, you know, especially early on. I remember 1947 01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,760 Speaker 42: Scott asking a bunch of running back questions the first 1948 01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 42: couple of weeks. I mean, you know, and I think 1949 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:12,640 Speaker 42: this is kind of how we envisioned it. You know, 1950 01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:16,160 Speaker 42: you got a guy who can run right through you, uh, 1951 01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,920 Speaker 42: and then and impose his will. He's had some great 1952 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,439 Speaker 42: tough yardage runs. The fourth downs this past week was huge. 1953 01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:24,800 Speaker 42: I mean, running through these guys and then you have 1954 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,559 Speaker 42: a guy you can bring in Evan, who can run 1955 01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 42: around you, who can catch the ball out of the backfield, 1956 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,280 Speaker 42: and I think you want to keep those guys fresh. 1957 01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:34,559 Speaker 42: And anytime you can rotate those guys, it is hard 1958 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 42: for the defense. And so you know what we thought 1959 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:39,720 Speaker 42: was gonna happen. That's just kind of how we would 1960 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,479 Speaker 42: envision this. And it's been fun to watch those guys work. 1961 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:46,839 Speaker 42: Evan uh now, not yet. I think he'll be listed 1962 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:50,400 Speaker 42: probably as out as we had to tomorrow. You know, 1963 01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:52,600 Speaker 42: obviously the first time you got to release that. So 1964 01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:55,360 Speaker 42: you know, we'll see how he is and how he 1965 01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 42: continue to progress. 1966 01:41:56,240 --> 01:42:03,840 Speaker 44: Throughout the week, So chance after him then, or or 1967 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:05,400 Speaker 44: one of the younger guys. 1968 01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 42: You've got Manny, you got, you got Chance, you got Zion. 1969 01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,040 Speaker 42: I think, you know, all three of those guys could 1970 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 42: be viable options for sure. You know, as we go 1971 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:17,080 Speaker 42: throughout this week and practicing, we'll see see where we're 1972 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:17,840 Speaker 42: at with those guys. 1973 01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 2: But you know, I think all all those the other 1974 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:20,920 Speaker 2: guys are. 1975 01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 42: Similar to to Evan in fact that how they do 1976 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:27,200 Speaker 42: know their speed. Guys, they're quick, they're they're you know, 1977 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,920 Speaker 42: a different style of running compared to Tawei. 1978 01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:34,200 Speaker 44: What about the silent cadence, it's probably going to be 1979 01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 44: pretty noisy either. I don't know if any place is 1980 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:39,639 Speaker 44: going to be noisier than Narrowhead, but but it does 1981 01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:40,639 Speaker 44: get loud there. 1982 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:40,800 Speaker 11: It does. 1983 01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:43,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll we'll prepare for that. You know. 1984 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,519 Speaker 42: One one good thing about having the indoor here, we 1985 01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 42: can really crank up the volume in there and it 1986 01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:51,439 Speaker 42: can be deafening inside this in this building. So that's 1987 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,360 Speaker 42: how we will practice the next couple of days here 1988 01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 42: for Tuesday and Wednesdays practices and turn that up and 1989 01:42:56,840 --> 01:43:00,000 Speaker 42: work our silent cadence. Uh, it's still you know, communication 1990 01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:05,360 Speaker 42: will be really key offensively, you know, and watching them 1991 01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:07,479 Speaker 42: on film. I think you know, Texas Tech earlier in 1992 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:09,479 Speaker 42: the year didn't use the silent cadence, but they had 1993 01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:14,559 Speaker 42: I think seven faalse start penalties. Maybe Colorado this past 1994 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:18,559 Speaker 42: weekend they did not use the silent either, So you know, 1995 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,800 Speaker 42: I've seen guys use it, I've seen guys not use it. 1996 01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:22,599 Speaker 2: We'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best. 1997 01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:26,679 Speaker 43: Is there advantage to having done that at a game 1998 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 43: in Arrowhead that was deafening? 1999 01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:29,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2000 01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 42: Absolutely, you know, Yeah, it'd be hard to be louder 2001 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,280 Speaker 42: than Arrawhead was that night. You know, that was as 2002 01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,160 Speaker 42: loud as a stadium as I've been maybe top two 2003 01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 42: or three that I've been into great environments. So yeah, 2004 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 42: and there's a lot of, you know, things about that 2005 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,280 Speaker 42: game that will help us as we head to this 2006 01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:44,679 Speaker 42: this week. 2007 01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:47,320 Speaker 34: In this game, Scott, the news just came out a 2008 01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:49,760 Speaker 34: couple of minutes ago Antoine Peak was named the semi 2009 01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,040 Speaker 34: finalists for Jim Thorpe Ward, could you just walk us 2010 01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,400 Speaker 34: through his journey obviously becoming a walk on to a 2011 01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:56,760 Speaker 34: key starter for this team now to see all this 2012 01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:58,640 Speaker 34: hard work could pay off. Could you just elaborate on 2013 01:43:58,680 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 34: that a little bit. 2014 01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:01,640 Speaker 42: Yeah, I mean I think, you know, Antoine is a 2015 01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:03,759 Speaker 42: hard worker. You know, we want to be a program 2016 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 42: where you have to earn everything, and he exemplifies that. 2017 01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,000 Speaker 42: I mean he has earned everything literally from a walk 2018 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,000 Speaker 42: on to earning a scholarship, to earning a starting position, 2019 01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:17,400 Speaker 42: to earning playing time, uh, and then earning the respect 2020 01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,599 Speaker 42: I think now that he that he's warranted. 2021 01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 2: You know, he is a headhunter. 2022 01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:23,960 Speaker 42: I think he's a very physical tackler, and he does 2023 01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:25,920 Speaker 42: a great job of punching the ball out. I mean, 2024 01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 42: he's been doing that his whole career. But I also 2025 01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:32,439 Speaker 42: love the fact that he is a humble person. He 2026 01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:34,519 Speaker 42: doesn't say a whole lot. He just works his tail off, 2027 01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:36,679 Speaker 42: and I you know, I really appreciate that about him 2028 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 42: and you can count on him. I mean, his consistency 2029 01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:40,840 Speaker 42: has been incredible. 2030 01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:46,760 Speaker 2: All right. That is Scott Saderfield from earlier. He went 2031 01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,680 Speaker 2: back to the phone booth. Austin put him back in 2032 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,880 Speaker 2: the phone booth. Yeah, what I think is interesting. Had 2033 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:54,160 Speaker 2: this discussion off air with Moe yesterday. We talked about 2034 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:57,080 Speaker 2: the Bearcats a lot, and Mom made to comment they 2035 01:44:57,120 --> 01:45:00,120 Speaker 2: have been healthy for much of the year. They are 2036 01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:05,559 Speaker 2: now going through what could be a tough task Evan Pryor. 2037 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,160 Speaker 2: The reason they're running game is what it is is 2038 01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,800 Speaker 2: because the ability to be able to hit you. As 2039 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:16,200 Speaker 2: Dan Hord has labeled it, thanks to Meredith, zoom and 2040 01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:20,639 Speaker 2: boom is what they're being zoom referred to in boom Yeah, 2041 01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:22,760 Speaker 2: you know, thunder and lightning was taken with Lendell White 2042 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,479 Speaker 2: and Reggie Bush back in the day Sonic and who 2043 01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 2: was it Knuckles?

She's done this in the past, but because 2098 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:45,519 Speaker 3: one of her things is that she is the chief 2099 01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:50,599 Speaker 3: executive officer and is trying to learn as much as 2100 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 3: possible about the organization and how it works and who 2101 01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:58,240 Speaker 3: is you know, doing what so that everything can be 2102 01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:04,519 Speaker 3: fairly evaluated. And she meets with the media. Here's something 2103 01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,760 Speaker 3: Carly urs Gordon said about wearing a headset on the 2104 01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:09,839 Speaker 3: sideline take a listener. 2105 01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:11,559 Speaker 46: I need to learn more about this. I need to 2106 01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,880 Speaker 46: be able to say, is this person full of bs? 2107 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:17,560 Speaker 46: Do they even know what they're talking about? And I 2108 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,120 Speaker 46: think one of the things that being on the headset 2109 01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:25,080 Speaker 46: has really helped me learn is to the question earlier. 2110 01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:27,000 Speaker 2: There is such a. 2111 01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:31,640 Speaker 46: Complex organism a football team and how it operates and 2112 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:33,519 Speaker 46: on game day and you could say, oh, that person 2113 01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:38,120 Speaker 46: ran that route wrong. When you learn to find someone 2114 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,720 Speaker 46: tagged the wrong wide receiver and it wasn't really the 2115 01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,080 Speaker 46: player's fault, it was the person that called it so 2116 01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,800 Speaker 46: and it's never I think that's been a very valuable 2117 01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:52,800 Speaker 46: because it also helps us be able to know where 2118 01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:55,200 Speaker 46: do we need to make tweaks, what resources do we 2119 01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,200 Speaker 46: need are, what do we need to fix? So much 2120 01:49:57,240 --> 01:50:00,959 Speaker 46: of it comes down to just the how we operate 2121 01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:04,040 Speaker 46: and how things work, and the headsets are really I 2122 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:07,479 Speaker 46: wish more. I would suggest it for anyone else that 2123 01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:10,719 Speaker 46: has to pay coaches and gms millions and millions of dollars. 2124 01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,599 Speaker 46: It helps you make a less expensive mistake. 2125 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 2: How about that. Now that doesn't sound like an outlander's thought. 2126 01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:24,000 Speaker 2: In fact, that sounds very well put together. I'm going 2127 01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:27,720 Speaker 2: to pay these folks millions and millions of dollars. I 2128 01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,040 Speaker 2: better do my due diligence to make sure they're doing 2129 01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:32,880 Speaker 2: their job correctly. And by listening in and being active 2130 01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,559 Speaker 2: and being a part of this, I get to make 2131 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:36,519 Speaker 2: sure that that's happening. 2132 01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:39,679 Speaker 3: And also to say, hey, I'm open to the idea 2133 01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:43,519 Speaker 3: that I could do something differently. I'm open to the 2134 01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:46,400 Speaker 3: idea that maybe the way we're doing things isn't the 2135 01:50:46,439 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 3: best way to do it. I'm taking feedback, I'm evaluating, 2136 01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:55,200 Speaker 3: I'm observing, and I'm learning about the people and the 2137 01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:59,920 Speaker 3: operation that goes into running a football team on game 2138 01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:04,600 Speaker 3: day and otherwise. That type of mentality from someone in 2139 01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:10,439 Speaker 3: ownership who is directly, directly tied to the results and 2140 01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:14,559 Speaker 3: affected by the results from business operations all the way 2141 01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:18,760 Speaker 3: up to the football program and ticket holders and community 2142 01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:22,559 Speaker 3: outreach and everything. It's it's all a web intertwined together. 2143 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:27,360 Speaker 3: That type of mentality from someone in ownership is incredibly important, 2144 01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:32,519 Speaker 3: and we don't see that very often. And I don't 2145 01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:36,160 Speaker 3: think it's a coincidence that her and her sisters take 2146 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,479 Speaker 3: over this football team and the next thing you know, 2147 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:40,040 Speaker 3: they're seven to one of the number one seed in 2148 01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 3: the AFC. 2149 01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:45,280 Speaker 2: Right, And it's again like we we are called upon 2150 01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:47,679 Speaker 2: to make decisions on who to pay, who to extend, 2151 01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:49,719 Speaker 2: who to sign, who to let go. We are called 2152 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:53,519 Speaker 2: upon to evaluate talent, on who to draft and maybe 2153 01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:57,720 Speaker 2: what free agents. Why not equip yourself with all the 2154 01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 2: knowledge necessary before you do that. Again, it sounds too 2155 01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 2: easy when you hear her talk about that, but far 2156 01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:11,720 Speaker 2: too many people don't operate in that sense. Like I 2157 01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:14,600 Speaker 2: would like to hear that from Duke Tobin. Sure, I 2158 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:16,639 Speaker 2: would like to hear more from Duke Tobin. I would 2159 01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:20,120 Speaker 2: like to see more of Duke Tobin over the course 2160 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:21,559 Speaker 2: of the week and during the games. 2161 01:52:21,600 --> 01:52:25,960 Speaker 3: I will say this, I remember during training preseason, excuse me, 2162 01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:29,439 Speaker 3: they you know, they do their TV interviews with Duke 2163 01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:33,120 Speaker 3: Tobin Mike Potts and Anthony Munhos and Duke started doing 2164 01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:34,800 Speaker 3: him from the sidelines, and they asked him why he 2165 01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:37,400 Speaker 3: was on the sidelines, and he gave a similar answer, 2166 01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,360 Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, that I can't 2167 01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:43,720 Speaker 3: believe I'm hearing that from Duke Tobin. I appreciated that 2168 01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:47,479 Speaker 3: insight into what he's, you know, talking about. Now, obviously 2169 01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:49,679 Speaker 3: it hasn't worked out as much, and I do think 2170 01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:52,000 Speaker 3: Duke has been a little bit more transparent over the 2171 01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,439 Speaker 3: last couple of years about his mindset. Now, he hasn't 2172 01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:57,960 Speaker 3: always followed up his words with his actions, which is 2173 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,120 Speaker 3: obviously a major issue. Androbably part of the reason why 2174 01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:05,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't talk very often because he doesn't maybe possess 2175 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:07,360 Speaker 3: the ability or isn't good enough at his job to 2176 01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:10,720 Speaker 3: actually put his actions put his money where his mouth is. 2177 01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:14,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, But in and of itself, that mentality 2178 01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:18,920 Speaker 3: about operating a football team or operating a business or 2179 01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:23,559 Speaker 3: whatever it might be, that is a mentality that should 2180 01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:29,559 Speaker 3: be shared across all levels of the organization. How can 2181 01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:33,960 Speaker 3: we be better in every aspect of owning and operating 2182 01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:34,800 Speaker 3: a football team? 2183 01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:39,200 Speaker 2: If the hypothetical came out and their decision of being 2184 01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:42,519 Speaker 2: better as a football team next year, or to say, 2185 01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:46,599 Speaker 2: let's move on from Zach Taylor. How would you view 2186 01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,680 Speaker 2: the Zach Taylor tenure. Would it be viewed as a 2187 01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:54,960 Speaker 2: resounding success, Would it be viewed as it was okay? 2188 01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:58,080 Speaker 2: Or would it be viewed as a failure. I mean, 2189 01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:00,479 Speaker 2: you took the team to the Super Bowl, you went 2190 01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 2: to back to back AFC Championship games, but you're also 2191 01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,240 Speaker 2: on the verge of missing the playoffs for the third 2192 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:10,320 Speaker 2: straight year, and the years before the Super Bowl weren't fantastic. 2193 01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:15,160 Speaker 2: How how would you if if that decision hypothetically were made, 2194 01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:17,479 Speaker 2: How would you categorize the tenure of Zach Taylor. 2195 01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:19,280 Speaker 3: I don't know how you could say anything other than 2196 01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:23,200 Speaker 3: it was an overwhelming success. He immediately took a two 2197 01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:27,479 Speaker 3: to fourteen team, got Joe Burrow established in the midst 2198 01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:31,240 Speaker 3: of COVID, got them eventually to the Super Bowl, got 2199 01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,160 Speaker 3: them right back to the AFC Championship game, won more 2200 01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,120 Speaker 3: playoff games in two years than they had won in 2201 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:41,080 Speaker 3: the last forty and established at the very least a 2202 01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:44,200 Speaker 3: culture and a mentality around the fan base and around 2203 01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:50,080 Speaker 3: the organization. And obviously, you know it hasn't worked out. 2204 01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:53,120 Speaker 3: I don't know that we would look back on it 2205 01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:56,160 Speaker 3: and feel like Zach was the main reason why this 2206 01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:59,040 Speaker 3: team failed. He certainly has played a huge role in it. 2207 01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:03,320 Speaker 3: But would you mean he was the main reason they succeeded. No, 2208 01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:07,280 Speaker 3: I think that always goes to Joe Burrow. Everybody will 2209 01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:09,840 Speaker 3: say that. I mean, nobody talks about Bill Pollian. He's 2210 01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:11,560 Speaker 3: in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He finally got 2211 01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 3: the recognition he deserved. But again, going back to the Colts, 2212 01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:18,000 Speaker 3: that's the dude that drafted Bayton Manning, right, they had 2213 01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,160 Speaker 3: the number one pick. That was a pretty easy one. 2214 01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:25,520 Speaker 3: So I think it would be a success because of 2215 01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:30,680 Speaker 3: what they accomplished and basically picking up from you what 2216 01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:35,440 Speaker 3: Marvin Lewis had done and taking it to the next level. Now, 2217 01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:42,000 Speaker 3: obviously the rest of it kind of depends on what 2218 01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,720 Speaker 3: happens between now and the end of Joe Burrow's career here. 2219 01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:48,320 Speaker 3: That's ultimately what this franchise will be judged by. 2220 01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would assume if if there were a 2221 01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:52,960 Speaker 2: decision to be made that you moved on from Zach Taylor, 2222 01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:57,520 Speaker 2: then the remainder of this season would be a disaster, disastrous. 2223 01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:01,120 Speaker 2: This what's to stop it from being already that's I mean, 2224 01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:05,360 Speaker 2: that's where we're trending to. I mean his tenure. It's 2225 01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:11,520 Speaker 2: weird because in his tenure, including playoffs fifty four, fifty 2226 01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 2: eight and one under five hundred, but he erased what 2227 01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:17,160 Speaker 2: was a brutal first two years at six twenty five 2228 01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:19,000 Speaker 2: and one and has turned that around. He's turned this 2229 01:56:19,040 --> 01:56:23,560 Speaker 2: franchise around. But there's also the taste of missing the 2230 01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:29,360 Speaker 2: playoffs for multiple seasons. It's weird because it's impossible to 2231 01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:30,720 Speaker 2: say it was a failure because they went to the 2232 01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:33,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl and back to back AFC title games. I 2233 01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,240 Speaker 2: don't think I would say a resounding success. I would 2234 01:56:35,280 --> 01:56:42,040 Speaker 2: say his tenure was positive. It wouldn't be man Okay 2235 01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:45,000 Speaker 2: for me, it's been positive. I think he's done great 2236 01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:46,880 Speaker 2: things for the culture. I think he's done great things 2237 01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:50,760 Speaker 2: for the organization. I think I would feel much differently 2238 01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:54,280 Speaker 2: if he separated himself as the coach and the play 2239 01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:56,720 Speaker 2: caller and just was the coach of this team. I 2240 01:56:56,760 --> 01:57:00,600 Speaker 2: think that would help him as well. But it's hard 2241 01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:04,320 Speaker 2: because they would finish that tenure. If that were to 2242 01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:06,760 Speaker 2: happen at the end of this year, it would mean 2243 01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:10,160 Speaker 2: that there would be three straight years of extreme disappointment 2244 01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,240 Speaker 2: in what was supposed to be a Super Bowl window, 2245 01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:14,160 Speaker 2: and I think that would be a hard pill to 2246 01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:19,200 Speaker 2: swallow as well. Yeah, when we come back, the senior 2247 01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:22,320 Speaker 2: vice president of Marketing for Penn Station, Jane McPherson, will 2248 01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:24,000 Speaker 2: join us to tell us about some cool things the 2249 01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,560 Speaker 2: Penn Station has going on.

You're smart, I'm dumb, You're attractive. 2429 02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:05,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ugly. 2430 02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:08,320 Speaker 13: Just let's just go down that road for a few minutes. 2431 02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, they might have to do it. We talked 2432 02:06:10,200 --> 02:06:13,600 Speaker 2: yesterday off air. They've been pretty healthy. They might have 2433 02:06:13,680 --> 02:06:16,280 Speaker 2: to do it shorthanded if they can't get Evan Pryor 2434 02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:18,240 Speaker 2: back this week. How much difference does that make in 2435 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:18,800 Speaker 2: this offense. 2436 02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:21,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's gonna make a difference. You know, 2437 02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:24,640 Speaker 6: we're gonna see, I guess a little bit more of 2438 02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:28,960 Speaker 6: Manny Covey and Chase Williams. I don't think Evan Pryor 2439 02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:31,480 Speaker 6: is gonna plays Scott's sadderfield is gonna put him on 2440 02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:34,760 Speaker 6: the injury report as out that obviously, I guess can 2441 02:06:34,880 --> 02:06:38,240 Speaker 6: change as the week unfolds. But it was the very 2442 02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:39,960 Speaker 6: first thing I said to you after the game was 2443 02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:42,600 Speaker 6: I'm interested in seeing what happens with Evan. To this point, 2444 02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:45,200 Speaker 6: they've won seven straight games. I think largely on the 2445 02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:48,440 Speaker 6: strength of really good health. Obviously would love to have 2446 02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:52,440 Speaker 6: Dante Corleone on, but Evan Pryor is their home run hitter. Offensively, 2447 02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:55,440 Speaker 6: I think the good news is, you know, number one, 2448 02:06:55,960 --> 02:06:57,920 Speaker 6: when you have a balanced offense, and you saw it 2449 02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:00,680 Speaker 6: this week, you can kind of lean on the other 2450 02:07:00,760 --> 02:07:06,480 Speaker 6: part of your team. But man, Evan Pryor is often 2451 02:07:06,520 --> 02:07:08,560 Speaker 6: good for one or two long runs per game, and 2452 02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:10,280 Speaker 6: not having him is going to be a tough blow. 2453 02:07:10,680 --> 02:07:13,480 Speaker 2: Going back to last night, I find many people that 2454 02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:16,560 Speaker 2: just don't like the Dodgers, and you know they bought 2455 02:07:16,560 --> 02:07:21,200 Speaker 2: the chant, whatever it is. I find myself almost impossible 2456 02:07:21,480 --> 02:07:26,240 Speaker 2: to root against. Freddie Freeman agreed, he's so good, the 2457 02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:29,760 Speaker 2: ultimate professional. Him having that moment last night was awesome. 2458 02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:31,800 Speaker 2: But there was a moment mo a couple weeks ago. 2459 02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,800 Speaker 2: You and I were sitting in Stillwater and we watched 2460 02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:36,960 Speaker 2: a baseball game where Shoheo Tani struck out ten and 2461 02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:39,120 Speaker 2: hit three home runs, and I remember talking with you 2462 02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:41,760 Speaker 2: like this is something we're never going to see again, 2463 02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:46,160 Speaker 2: like this is this is history, and then you flash 2464 02:07:46,240 --> 02:07:48,960 Speaker 2: forward to last night. I don't think in my lifetime 2465 02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:51,560 Speaker 2: I'll ever see something like that again. Getting on base 2466 02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:54,080 Speaker 2: nine times, and then you flash forward and the guy's 2467 02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:57,320 Speaker 2: gonna go take the mound today to pitch in Game 2468 02:07:57,360 --> 02:08:01,280 Speaker 2: four of the World Series. It's literally other worldly what 2469 02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:01,800 Speaker 2: he's doing. 2470 02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:07,000 Speaker 6: It's the greatest show in sports. You know, you might 2471 02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:09,480 Speaker 6: not want to hear that because you don't love baseball, 2472 02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:11,080 Speaker 6: or because he doesn't play for the Reds. He's the 2473 02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,360 Speaker 6: greatest show in sports. And he comes up and ties 2474 02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:16,480 Speaker 6: the game with the home run last night. He has 2475 02:08:16,520 --> 02:08:19,600 Speaker 6: the respect of a manager to a degree that with Mookie. 2476 02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,320 Speaker 2: Bets hitting behind him. 2477 02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:24,640 Speaker 6: In Game three of the World Series, the Blue Jays 2478 02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:28,200 Speaker 6: just said often with him representing the winning run, we're 2479 02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:28,680 Speaker 6: putting you. 2480 02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:29,800 Speaker 2: On yeah, five times. 2481 02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:34,080 Speaker 6: Like I'm not sure we ever saw Barry Bonds get 2482 02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:35,960 Speaker 6: that level of respect. And he was the guy who 2483 02:08:36,080 --> 02:08:40,320 Speaker 6: was intentionally walked more than anyone. I mean after the game, 2484 02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:43,840 Speaker 6: it was acknowledged in Game four, we're just gonna put 2485 02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:44,160 Speaker 6: him on. 2486 02:08:44,720 --> 02:08:45,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2487 02:08:45,120 --> 02:08:48,680 Speaker 6: He's hitting in front of Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman. 2488 02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,080 Speaker 6: And by the way, he got thrown out stealing and 2489 02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:52,960 Speaker 6: trying to steal second base last night, but. 2490 02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:54,200 Speaker 2: He could steal a bag too. 2491 02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:57,640 Speaker 6: He is so dangerous that the other team's managers are 2492 02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:02,000 Speaker 6: now saying, screw it, other We'd rather put ourselves at 2493 02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:04,760 Speaker 6: a greater statistical risk of giving up a run in 2494 02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:08,000 Speaker 6: what are likely to be close games in the World 2495 02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:11,000 Speaker 6: Series that actually pitched to them. It's the greatest show 2496 02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:14,760 Speaker 6: in sports right now. Yeah, I'm not. I'm rooting for 2497 02:09:14,880 --> 02:09:17,000 Speaker 6: the Dodgers to a degree in running for a great series, 2498 02:09:17,040 --> 02:09:19,520 Speaker 6: and so I'd like for Toronto to win some games here. 2499 02:09:20,200 --> 02:09:21,720 Speaker 6: You know, the Blue Jays had the fifth highest pay 2500 02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:27,360 Speaker 6: roll in baseball, right you know they they came this 2501 02:09:27,520 --> 02:09:30,400 Speaker 6: close to acquiring show Hey O, Tommy and and probably 2502 02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,320 Speaker 6: would have paid almost as much as the Dodgers. 2503 02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:32,520 Speaker 4: Are. 2504 02:09:33,080 --> 02:09:36,400 Speaker 13: Like, this isn't some mom and pop Canadian. 2505 02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:39,440 Speaker 6: Franchise where they they put together their pennies by selling 2506 02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:43,040 Speaker 6: Tim Horton's donuts in the middle of a residential neighborhood 2507 02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,880 Speaker 6: to buy a baseball team. And everybody's making the fifth 2508 02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:50,000 Speaker 6: highest payroll in baseball. Yeah, why do we hate teams 2509 02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:50,680 Speaker 6: that try. 2510 02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:51,960 Speaker 2: To win pay money? 2511 02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:54,560 Speaker 6: I'm with you, Like, you can hate the rules, and 2512 02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:57,320 Speaker 6: you could you could hope that baseball changes its rules. Okay, 2513 02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:00,560 Speaker 6: hate there's something to that. I'll acknowledge that. Don't hate 2514 02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:04,760 Speaker 6: the Dodgers. Hate the Pirates yep, who never try to win. 2515 02:10:05,040 --> 02:10:08,720 Speaker 6: Hate the A's who sabotage their relationship with Oakland by 2516 02:10:08,760 --> 02:10:13,360 Speaker 6: not trying to win. Like baseball fans are brainwashed, and 2517 02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:16,680 Speaker 6: I mean this, Baseball fans have been brainwashed over the 2518 02:10:16,720 --> 02:10:19,320 Speaker 6: last thirty years to believe that you're evil if you 2519 02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:22,000 Speaker 6: try to win. You're evil if you try to take 2520 02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:24,840 Speaker 6: advantage of advantages that you have that the sport says 2521 02:10:24,840 --> 02:10:28,480 Speaker 6: you could have. Meanwhile, owners go, oh, you know, we 2522 02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:30,880 Speaker 6: don't have any money and I'm not even sure if 2523 02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:32,680 Speaker 6: we can turn on the lands at the ballpark, and 2524 02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:34,960 Speaker 6: a lot of fans not most, not all, but a 2525 02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:39,680 Speaker 6: lot of fans go, okay, we don't need to see 2526 02:10:39,680 --> 02:10:43,520 Speaker 6: your books. Like I don't understand it. Yeah, so yeah, man, 2527 02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:45,480 Speaker 6: I'm problem with the Dodgers. By the way, Dodgers are 2528 02:10:45,480 --> 02:10:47,880 Speaker 6: great at developing players. Sure, they've brought a lot of 2529 02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:51,560 Speaker 6: guys through their system. Like you know, again, I want 2530 02:10:51,640 --> 02:10:53,760 Speaker 6: I want a seven game series. And then at that point, 2531 02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:57,160 Speaker 6: I don't really care that much. But I do not understand. 2532 02:10:57,200 --> 02:10:59,080 Speaker 6: I'm not rooting for them because they have a high. 2533 02:10:58,880 --> 02:11:04,400 Speaker 2: Pay run one other with Otani because in our lifetimes 2534 02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:09,320 Speaker 2: I remember watching Jordan. I watched Lebron. You watch Tiger 2535 02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,840 Speaker 2: Woods in his prime. We just saw Alex Ovechkin break 2536 02:11:11,880 --> 02:11:15,560 Speaker 2: the all time goal scorer record in the National Hockey League. 2537 02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:19,000 Speaker 2: We're now getting to watch Otani. There's a large contingent 2538 02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:21,600 Speaker 2: that thinks Tom Brady is the greatest of all time 2539 02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:24,520 Speaker 2: in the NFL. When you think of the greats that 2540 02:11:24,600 --> 02:11:26,600 Speaker 2: you've had a chance to watch in your lifetime as 2541 02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:29,880 Speaker 2: a sports fan, now seeing what Otani's doing. Danman put 2542 02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:31,520 Speaker 2: it well earlier, like there's going to be one hundred 2543 02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:34,080 Speaker 2: years from now where folks are going to talk about 2544 02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:36,960 Speaker 2: Otani the way people have talked about Babe Ruth and 2545 02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:40,000 Speaker 2: what he did, and we're alive to see that. Where 2546 02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:43,080 Speaker 2: do you rank Otani in the athletes that you've had 2547 02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:45,080 Speaker 2: an opportunity to watch? Well? 2548 02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:47,480 Speaker 6: I think baseball is different because one guy can only 2549 02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:50,120 Speaker 6: make so much of an impact. Like the two greatest 2550 02:11:50,120 --> 02:11:53,440 Speaker 6: baseball players I have ever seen are Barry Bonds and 2551 02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:56,840 Speaker 6: King Griffy Junior. Neither has a championship. They have one 2552 02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:00,240 Speaker 6: World Series between them combined. And so if if you 2553 02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:03,800 Speaker 6: put show Hey Otani on the Pittsburgh Pirates or some 2554 02:12:03,840 --> 02:12:07,000 Speaker 6: of the recent Reds teams of recent vintage. He's not 2555 02:12:07,120 --> 02:12:10,560 Speaker 6: making that much of an impact, but the respect he's 2556 02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:15,280 Speaker 6: shown by other teams, the home runs that he hits, 2557 02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:19,960 Speaker 6: these just majestic, towering blasts. What he does on the mound, 2558 02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:23,720 Speaker 6: it's unlike anything we've seen in the sport. I don't 2559 02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:26,480 Speaker 6: love comparing a baseball player to a basketball player, because 2560 02:12:26,720 --> 02:12:28,880 Speaker 6: a great basketball player can make so much more of 2561 02:12:28,880 --> 02:12:30,680 Speaker 6: a difference, same for a great quarterback. 2562 02:12:31,120 --> 02:12:32,000 Speaker 2: But in baseball, I. 2563 02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:36,200 Speaker 6: Don't think we've seen anything like this, and I think 2564 02:12:36,200 --> 02:12:36,920 Speaker 6: it's a lot of fun. 2565 02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:37,160 Speaker 41: Man. 2566 02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:38,440 Speaker 13: And look, I get it. 2567 02:12:38,440 --> 02:12:41,160 Speaker 6: There are baseball fans who if their team's not playing, 2568 02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:43,160 Speaker 6: they don't watch. That's okay, It's not up to me 2569 02:12:43,200 --> 02:12:44,760 Speaker 6: to tell people what to do with their free time 2570 02:12:44,800 --> 02:12:46,720 Speaker 6: and money. But I also hear some of the same 2571 02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:51,040 Speaker 6: baseball fans go, well, we don't have any stars, helly, 2572 02:12:51,280 --> 02:12:53,360 Speaker 6: no stars, this guy. 2573 02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:54,800 Speaker 2: You won't watch this dude, right? 2574 02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:57,040 Speaker 13: Kid me, By the way, seems like an awesome teammate. 2575 02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:02,400 Speaker 6: His teammates really seem to like him, and I think 2576 02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:04,960 Speaker 6: it's cool that he's being given the stage too, because 2577 02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:07,760 Speaker 6: you know, I mentioned Ken Griffey Junior never really got 2578 02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:10,320 Speaker 6: this stage. You know, played in a in a playoff 2579 02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:12,400 Speaker 6: with the Seattle Mariners against the New York Yankees. That 2580 02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:14,440 Speaker 6: was great, but people hated baseball at that point, so 2581 02:13:14,480 --> 02:13:17,560 Speaker 6: they weren't watching.
