<v Speaker 1>Six two seven hundred wl W the Cincinnati Tax Resolution,

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Paramke Hope Show, a Wound table show hanging out at

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Who will you say? We're in search of our guy

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>tracks from c l NS since he with a y

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. Let's continue rock the Joe Burrow conversation. If

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you go back to Thursday night, he he seemingly moved well,

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>he created on the run. They trusted him to sneak

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>it on on fourth and one. There were a couple

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of moments I cringed a little, and the fact that

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he threw thirty two passes in the first half. I didn't.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have bet that would have been the case

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.639
<v Speaker 1>going in, but he came out of it well. He

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>uh is now the subject of a great conversation earlier

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>today with Jabbard Chase talking about Joe Burrow, a perfect

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>segue to our guy who covers the Bengals for c

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>l NS since he with a Y dot Com to

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the Jungle War podcast on YouTube. The man they refer

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to a Trags and Mike Patralla. Jamar talked today and

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>while he's not ready to give a new nicknamed Joe,

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>talked about him coming back to quote saved the season

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and really acknowledged how emotional Thursday night was for Joe, didn't.

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>He Yeah, Captain America has definitely saved not only Joe

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>burrows season, but he not only saved his own season.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I think he saved and gave new hope to the

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Bengals season. There is no doubt that the Bengals are

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>a different entity when he is calling the signals when

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>he is in command, and yes, he's only in charge

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>of his eleven on offense, but when he's on the field,

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>when he's in the locker room before the game, there's

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a different vibe to the Bengals. And that's why he

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>is Joe Burrow and that's why that him fifty five

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>million dollars a year is to be that guy. And

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>so I think that is what you're going to see

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>in the last five games from the Bengals, at least

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals hope so.

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Well to that point, Mike, I mean, the defense certainly

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>played better. Did did anybody on the defense this week?

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Talk about just the fact that Burrow was back in

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>the energy that that may have given them.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Not in particular Rocky, but I can tell you after

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the game the other night, guys like Joseph Osai and

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Miles Murphy, both of whom have increased their or improved

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 2>their game at various points this season, talked about how

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow, when he's on the field and in command,

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>they feel like he gives them a better chance to

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>play complimentary football. And you know, I think early in

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the season the defense did not perform well period, but

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>they really felt the pressure because Burrow wasn't on the field.

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>They weren't. They didn't feel like they were going to

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>score a lot of points initially, and with Jake brown

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>all due respect to Jake Browning, they didn't. With Joe Flacco,

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>they started to score points, but the defense was so

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 2>lost at times that they couldn't sustain their play. So

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I think now with the defense really finding a groove,

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>with guys coming into their own, like I said, with

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Joseph Oosai and Miles Murphy really improving and upping their game,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>I think that they think that they can start playing real, genuine,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>complimentary football.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Trags. What can you tell us about and the much

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about new cleat that Joe is wearing, and he

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>seems committed to it at least the rest of the year, isn't.

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>He he is? And the one thing you need to understand,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Burrow admitted this on Wednesday, he does not

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.119
<v Speaker 2>feel super comfortable wearing it, but it will protect him

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>because it keeps the tow the left big toe from

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 2>bending backwards. And even at this point of the rehab,

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>they cannot afford for that toe to bend backwards because

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>he could have a relapse. So they have what Joe

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Burrow called a carbon graphite instrument in the toe to

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>keep that toe in place, and then they have a

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>special orthotic combined with the carbon instrument to make sure

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>that the toe is secure and that he's mobile enough

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 2>so that he can run. That's the other part of it.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want to just have a brace on his foot, obviously,

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>because he wouldn't be able to move very well. What

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 2>they seem to have done is they have seemed to

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>find that sweet spot between protecting the big toe and

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>allowing him enough mobility to move out of the pocket

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and drags it.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 3>If that defense going back to them wants to continue

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 3>this hot streak. Boy would help if Trey Hendrickson was playing.

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 3>What's the status And he's been over a month, five

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 3>weeks that he's been out, it seems like no no

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 3>end in sight.

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Now it doesn't rocky in that's unfortunate, but apparently it's

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a type of lower core muscle injury that's not healing

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>very fast. And I'm not going to get into the

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>business of saying whether or not he should push it,

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>or whether or not he should be on the field,

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>or you know, would a different player handle the injury.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 2>You just can't get inside a player's mind. It's full

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 2>fool's gold or foolhardy to get into that kind of business.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not going to do that. All I can

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>tell you is he did not practice again today. It's

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 2>unlikely he will play on Sunday in Buffalo. Maybe, just maybe,

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>if the Bengals get on the precipice, the real precipice

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>of the playoffs in the final two weeks at home

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>against Arizona, at home against Cleveland, if and there, if

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>they're in a position then to make a run. And

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Trey Hendrickson feels like he's recuperated it. Maybe then you

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>could see him on the field, because there's got to

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>be a reason. I think at this point the Bengals

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 2>have not yet placed him on injured reserves treigs.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot obviously going right these days with the

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. How big has Dalton Reisner's ability to get

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.720
<v Speaker 1>settled in and replace the injured Jalen Rivers. How big

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>has that been for putting the pieces in place for

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that line?

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>But it's been massive, Lance, because he has done his

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Zach Taylor said on Monday, the little things that maybe

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 2>a rookie doesn't know how to do. He gets the

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>little shades here and there on pass protection. He's really

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 2>done a great job in run blocking and the consistency sometimes, Lance,

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>when you put two rookies in that middle of that

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>offensive line, the consistency isn't always going to be there. Yep.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And as good as Dylan Fairchild has luck and as

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>good as Jalen Rivers looked at time games, the consistency

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't always there. Well with Dalton Reisner, Uh, they've seen

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 2>a uptick in the consistency. The middle of the offensive

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>line has provided better pass protection and I think it's

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>really helped Uh the outside guys the tackles uh certainly

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>in uh uh Orlando Brown Junior and the right tackle

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to really come into their own. And also it's allowed

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>for the right for guys like samaj p Ryan and

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Drew Sample to really chif in a Marius mems. I

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't forget who's the right tackle of.

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>The Oh good, uh great story today, the secret sauce

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that makes Joe cook in this offense. For those who

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>want to read that, watch your stuff, follow along with

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>your stuff, tell them how they can do that.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, please do it. Celn s Sinc. With a y

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>dot com. I really enjoyed writing the story today on

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow because we can all read the stats, right,

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>we can all see the analytics of why Joe Burrow

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>has been great over his first six full NFL seasons.

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 2>But I kind of wanted to get into why mentally

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 2>it makes a difference for him to be back on

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that field in charge of the offense. So I tried

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:25.239
<v Speaker 2>to provide a little of that perspective in that story. Also,

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you can follow all my Jamar Chase and Ted Carris.
