WEBVTT - Bengals Pre-Game Sports Talk w/ Mo Egger and Tony Pike -- 10/5/25 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.840 Early a minutes fourth quarter over in London, Brown seventeen, 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:11.720 Vikings fourteen, and the Browns have the ball. So are 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.440 the Lions today particular problems? What should we look for 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.760 offensively and defensive Well, offensively we've kind of lined them 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.000 up and all you have to do is look at 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.360 the numbers and you'll know just how good they are. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.720 But what about when the Bengals have the ball and 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.240 they move on the Lions, Will Jamar Chase be able 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.520 to get off and deliver us the kind of game 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.840 that this team desperately needs right now? 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.040 Oh, Jamar, But he got a lot of guys on 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.120 on IR right now. So I think they're gonna come 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.280 out play zone a lot. They're mostly a man team, 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.760 you know, disguise a couple of zones. The majority of 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.760 the time they playing man. But against I think they're 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:51.360 gonna go zone. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.159 Do you prefer the zone or man? 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.280 And of course yeah, a lot of guys don't. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:57.040 Players. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.160 I mean, Denver played us man last year. This year 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:00.960 they played us man for quarter and went to his 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.600 own affect whole games. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.600 Big money ball players, Jamar Chase T Higgins got to 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.240 get the ball to him, got to run. I mean 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.440 you've got to establish a running game. Yeah, I mean 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.360 you have to, now I don't. I mean, it's easier 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.760 said than done. But if you're working on one thing 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.800 this past week, I hope you are working on trying 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.920 to get some sort of running attack. But Zack Tanner, 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.520 he says, all will be okay if we just focus. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.160 I love personally playing playing these types of games. These 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.720 are my favorite games to play. This is why we 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:33.119 do it. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:34.759 Again. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.600 Our backs against the wall. A little bit going in 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.800 this game off of two losses. That's perfect, you know. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.880 I'd like to see how everbody responds, who lives in fear, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.240 who thrives in the university. It's a great opportunity for 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.040 a coach to really assess what guys are made of, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:49.480 myself included. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.720 Though the mountain may seem insurmountable, keep hope alive, and 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.240 that's what we'll do.

Michigan 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:09.839 State lost in Nebras. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.880 Has there been a happier coach to cover us bread 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:13.719 than Luke Fickle? I don't know. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:14.440 Maybe Eddie George. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.800 A couple of weeks ago, the Detroit Tigers wow in 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.120 extra innings and then. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.120 They get scoop on now. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.880 Yeah, Wow, beat the Seattle Mariners in Game one of 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.839 their American League Division series, and now they have invaded Cincinnati. Look, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.080 I'll call it what it is, Okay. I got down 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.400 here about ten minutes after eleven o'clock and I look 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.240 down Freedom Away. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.040 There's a lot of blue and silver here. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.920 You know, I'm thinking today stripe the stadium orange, black, blue, silver. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.440 It should pop, It should pop on TV. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.479 We do have a lot of Bengals fans in the house, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.440 and the thing is can we hear them? 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.000 Can I get a whodah? Okay, we've got time. 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:54.320 To work on that. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.839 Okay, we're just starting. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.120 This was the game when the schedule got released back 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.799 in May that I thought, that's gonna be awesome. Right 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.640 week five, you're a few weeks into the season. Detroit's 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.039 gonna be really good. You know, by then, they'll have 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.480 figured out how to replace the two coordinators, the Bengals 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.080 will have survived three out of the first four on 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.960 the road, and we're gonna get like this early October 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.440 showdown between two Super. 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.840 Bowl hopefuls super Bowl contenders. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.000 I'm not sure that I would categorize the game as such. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.920 Not yet, but this organization has a lot of faith 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.640 in Jake Browning. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:30.159 Uh huh. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.400 We're gonna get this figured out, uh huh. And what 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.200 better time to do it than when no one, no 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.680 one believes that they can do it. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.560 I have not met one Bengals fan this week. Typically, 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.080 you know they've been underdogs in games. Yeah, but you'll 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.040 find the folks and sometimes they're right. Sometimes I agree 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.440 with them. That'll walk you down a path where at 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.760 the end of it, the Bengals win the game. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:52.640 I try to do that. 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.920 The Bengals are ten and a half point dogs today. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.120 I have not talked to one person who anticipates a 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:03.760 home team victory. So if they win, when they win, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.839 perhaps I don't want to hear a bunch of I 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.760 told you so, because listen, this week, literally nobody has 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:09.279 told me so. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.800 I try throughout the course of the week. React on Monday, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.960 react on Tuesday, than a slow build, start to turn 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.320 the page on Wednesday, and then by Thursday, normally I'm 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.240 talking myself into how they win the game. Here we 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.600 are on Sunday, I'm still trying to figure out how 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:33.080 they win the game. What Detroit does extremely well is 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.600 what we struggle in all areas of the game with. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.280 They are more than I think any team in the NFL, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.000 a product of their head coaches mentality. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.080 Uh huh. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.520 Like, I don't think you find any other teams that 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.280 you're like, Man, they match exactly who their coach is, correct, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.080 and I want that in Cincinnati. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.960 But you know what's interesting about that they You know 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.040 it's it's cliche in sports, right, you take on the 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.280 personality of your coach. I think the Lions do. But 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.120 also schematically they're inventive. They were with Ben Johnson, they 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.080 are without Ben Johnson. They come up with different ways 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.559 to beat you. Offensively, there's a wide variety of things 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.560 they do. They're tough on defense, but they're also fundamentally good. Yeah, 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.320 like Dan Campbell. I'll admit, man, I got it wrong 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.200 about that guy because I remember the year they were 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.080 on Hard Knocks, going, oh God, I'm not buying into 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.880 this professional wrestling character. You know, He's this is what 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.080 a football coach in the movies is, like, uh oh man. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.600 They take on that mentality. But they're also well coached. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.720 Yeah, they're so well coached. And I can't begin to 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.439 reiterate how hard it is to not replace one coordinator 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.160 but both. Yeah, both have been fully entrenched in their system, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.480 and I think offensively they figured it out quicker than 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.400 what they have defensively. But you watch them over the 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.520 last couple of weeks, they are starting to piece it 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:03.560 together defensive and it's not shocking. They're going to be 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.600 the same team. They're gonna be physical, they're gonna try 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.040 to play man coverage, they're gonna bring pressure. Aiden Hutchinson 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.720 is getting back into the swing of things. They're just 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.520 they're balanced. They take on their coaching and everything they 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.840 do feels like it works off each other. Yeah, Like 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.800 when you watch them offensively, it feels like one play 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.280 sets up the next, and then that sets up another play, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.360 and they can work off those. There's just rhythm and 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.120 like a connectedness that they play with when you watch them. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.600 I don't know how you prepare to defend them because 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.720 two very good running backs Cincinnati's owned David Montgomery making 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.880 the homecoming, Jamir Gibbs, Amanrey Saint Brown is terrific. Sam 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.040 Laport is very good. Like, I don't know if you're 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.679 Al Golden. Al Golden has to start with can I 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.840 figure out how to get eleven guys on the field? Yeah, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.040 start with that. Once he has accomplished that, I don't 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.160 know how you look at the Lions and go, well, 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.800 we're gonna take away this or we're gonna make them 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.319 more make it more challenging for them to do this 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.840 because of all the different ways that they can beat you. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.880 Well, the problem is they're scrambling on offense in Cincinnati 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.360 right now. You and I talked all training camp just 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.520 hoping the defense could be middle of the pack, right, 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.439 but now the offense is an elite and now you're 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.120 looking at the defense and saying, well, we need more 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.959 out of the defense. But they weren't built. They weren't 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.080 constructed to be a top ten defense. So now you 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.600 look at this and you say, well, how do you 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.080 become one? Al going doesn't like the pressure? Do you 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.480 send more pressure? If you're out going? Do you put 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.200 guys more? Because the mentality of this defense was bend 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.120 but don't break, give up yards and hold teams to 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.960 field goals instead of touchdowns. You got to throw that 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.080 out the window now because now you're being asked to 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.480 be a top fifteen defense because the offense isn't able 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.320 to carry the load like we thought they were going 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:48.840 into the year. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.360 So let me set you up for the day today 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.480 here on these two radio stations ESPN fifteen thirty seven 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.280 hundred WLW Tony and I here from the Holy Grail 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.840 until three o'clock. It goes without saying if you are 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.040 coming to the game, I don't care if you're rooting 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.960 for the Bengals or Lions. Sure, there's no better place 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.080 to post up. We'll have all the one o'clock games. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.120 There's a game happening right now in London. The Browns 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:11.640 lead the Vikings seventeen. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.160 To fad matchups. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.719 Neither team's defense looks like a bad matchup for the 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.000 other team's very bad matchup. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.520 Bad matchups Dylan Gabriel first start, Brian flor As defense impossible. 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.240 The season of bad matchups impossible for the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.240 If you're going to the game, obviously pre post here. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.720 If you're not going to the game, but you want 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.160 to take in a gorgeous summer afternoon here on an 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.280 October Sunday in Cincinnati, obviously the game is going to 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.320 be shown all over the place. Countdown to kickoff takes 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.120 over at three o'clock. Wayne box Miller and then Dan 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.400 Horden Dave Lapam have the game kickoff at four to 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.760 twenty five. Today, Cincinnati has lost two consecutive games. They 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.280 have been outscored seventy six to thirteen in their last two, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.079 obviously both losses. Taking on a Detroit team today that 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.480 has scored one hundred and twenty four points over their 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.640 last three. If there's someone listening to us right now 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.160 who's like, look, I turned you guys on to get 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.839 ready for the game, and I want a dose of optimism, 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.959 where does that start? 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.880 Jamar Chase and t Higgins. You know, I thought it 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.640 interesting during the week that Jamar Chase talked about wanting 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.640 some fire and anger from the locker room. T Higgins 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.720 openly talked this week about we got to get the ball, 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.160 and we got to get the ball early. And not 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.120 to say that everyone else doesn't need to get the ball, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.000 but hey, we got to start getting ours. We got 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.080 to start getting the ball because good things happen when 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.080 T Higgins and Jamar Chase get the ball. I would 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.480 start with that, and then I go a step further 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.800 into what Jamar Chase said, anger some fire. Who does 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.040 that on this team? Because I think if you want 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.760 to take any type of step, at some point, leaders 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:50.640 have to emerge. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:51.760 Yeah. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.840 I don't know who that is right now on the defense. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.760 I don't know who it is right now on the offense. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.760 So but they need to emerge if you want to 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.679 start leading from the front and rallying guys, because right 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.680 now everyone's kind of got this stun feel man. We 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.280 lost Burrow, We're getting our tails kicked in and everyone's 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.320 just looking and waiting. And I don't think Zach is 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.160 the fire guy. I don't think Al Golden's a fire guy. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.880 We don't see much anger, We don't see much explosion 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.080 on the sidelines. Who is that? 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:24.600 So? 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.120 I think it's Jamar, And I thought it was Jamar 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.600 on Monday night on the field, and I thought it 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.959 was Jamar this week talking about his message to his teammates. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.240 But you asked a question a second ago, who's that 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.079 guy in the defense? 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:38.200 Like, I don't know. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.560 I know who one of those guys used to be. 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.720 He's playing for the Detroit Lions. Yeh, DJ Reider, I 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.600 don't know who that is. You might say, well, it's 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.160 supposed to be Logan Wilson. Logan Wilson has had his 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.520 workload decrease recent in recent weeks. By this stage in 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.560 his career, maybe it should be Cam Taylor britt Well, 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.439 old boy just got benched for the third time in 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.800 less than a year last week. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:58.800 I don't know. 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.120 Defensively, maybe it should be Trey Hendrickson. I just don't 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.959 know that that's his personality, for better or for worse. Right, 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.720 So I guess what I want to know is, first 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.640 of all, who's the guy in the defense that can 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.720 count to eleven? Second, who is the guy that does what? 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.559 Jamar has at least shown a willingness to try to. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.880 Do and playing on teams before. It's one thing to 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.080 say you're gonna be a leader. You have to be 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.480 playing at a level to be a leader. 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.760 Sure, Like Jake Browning can't do it now, Jake. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.200 Browne can't no offense, like if you're Genostone and you're like, hey, 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.360 let's go, like the teams are gonna look at you 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.120 and say you do it. Like I'm watching the film 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.640 of you too, and it can't be Jake Browning like 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.240 you said, because I'm watching Jake Browning play right Who 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.560 Orlando brown Is it Ted Carris? Because I know Ted 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.040 Carriss has all the cool sound bites and I love 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.200 what he's done here in the city. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.520 But the performance is but the performance has been terrible. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.120 So if Ted Carris is is jumping down your throat 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.760 on a Wednesday block your guy first, whoa yeah, wait 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.320 a second? Brother, Like, So, I think that makes it 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.080 very tough with what they're trying to accomplish right now. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.840 And what I think will be interesting, and I certainly 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:11.680 hope it's not the scenario we encounter. What if they 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.880 fall behind three scores today at home? Yeah, and now 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.880 there's the snowball effect. And now it's okay, it's happening 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.840 in our building. By the way, there's a bunch of 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.800 Lions fans cheering and you're being booed by the home crowd. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.040 You got thirteen more of these. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:31.160 Yeah, that's what I'm curious. And again, I hope to 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.800 god we don't even have to confront this. But what 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:35.880 if this continues? 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:36.240 Yep? 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.320 Because to me, like folks are mad at Zach Taylor. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.200 Understandably so his team looked ill prepared. The one thing 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.280 that for the most part, his teams haven't done. When 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.200 there's been adversity, and there's been a lot, you haven't 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.120 gotten the sense that the locker room is unraveling. You 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.160 haven't gotten the sense that guys are making a lot 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:58.960 of business decisions anecdotally, maybe one or two guys, Carlos 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.280 Dunlap his second, maybe AJ Green his first. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.600 But that's what I think would be interesting. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.360 And again, man, hopefully today they pull off the upset 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.920 and they win, they get a dose of confidence and 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.680 they can still make something of this season. But what 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.240 I would when we talk about, like a head coach 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.240 in the NFL, I care about how prepared their teams 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.280 are to play zachs last night was not prepared. But 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.680 also how did your team respond in the face of adversity. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.880 For the most part, when Zack's been the head coach, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.320 maybe they haven't won, but they haven't unraveled. Do things 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.720 start to unravel and did that begin last week in Denver. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.960 I think one of the most worrisome things that someone 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.120 can say about your football team as a coach is 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.200 they're soft. I think that's one of the most detrimental 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.200 things you can say about a team, right And if 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.160 you look at this team right now in the trenches, 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.200 they're soft, yep, yep, And I think that is alarming, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.120 and that starts with your mindset, which starts with your 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.560 coaching staff. So I look at those things and I 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.879 know we're gonna talk about them soon. We watched the 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.400 team in Clifton yesterday. They're not soft. No, They'll punch 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:09.680 you in the mouth and they'll keep punching you in 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.879 the mouth line and you can rally around that. Yeah. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.560 I'm watching that, yes, and I'm saying, why can't we 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.359 see more of that? Why can't And I get like, well, 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.000 Pro Football focus doesn't have it. Okay, Well, can you 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.560 develop somebody. Can you scheme somebody? I mean, we saw 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.760 a couple of weeks ago Jamar Chase on a jet 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.760 sweep nine yard carry. Have we seen it again? Have 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.959 we seen anything that resembles like maybe a fake misdirection 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:38.520 screen pass screen pass? 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:39.040 No? 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.720 When I say earlier, like what Detroit does mirrors each other. 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.880 They'll put Amen Ross Saint Brown on that motion one time, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.000 they'll give it to him, and then a series later 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.560 they'll come back and they'll play fake it to him, 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.960 and they'll get Jamer Gibbs going opposite, and then they'll 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.639 play fake to Saint Brown, and play fake to Gibbs 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.520 and take a shot over the top to Jamison Williams, 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.920 and then Sam Laporta is dominated. Like everything they do 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:04.680 works off each other. Right, if you are a team 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:10.080 that is soft upfront or schematically compromised, you better find 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:11.320 ways to mirror. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.600 Different than schematically. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.160 It just feels to me like the offensive coaching staff 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.320 has thrown up its hands as if to say, I 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.280 don't know. And what's frustrating to me about that was 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:20.960 and I talked about this on the air this week. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.240 In twenty twenty, they beat a two lost Pittsburgh team 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.439 in December with Ryan Finley's quarterback. Yeah, and I remember 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.400 talking with you the next day, going, you know what, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:31.879 good for Zach Taylor. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:32.919 He pieced it together. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.239 It wasn't great Ryan Finley completed seven passes, but they 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.240 pieced it together. The Cleveland Browns today may lose this 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.359 football game. They're up seventeen to fourteen under seven to go. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.200 In the fourth quarder, they turned things over to Dylan Gabriel. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.040 That creates a lot of noise because Shador Sanders is 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.040 not the guy they turned to. 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.960 They have to travel to a. 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.920 Different part of the world and play a good Minnesota defense. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.320 They have pieced it together. It helps that they have 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.840 Quinn Shawn Jenkins, but they have pieced it together and 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.720 they are functional. What what last week felt like to 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.600 me was not only lack of preparation, but essentially the 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.120 offensive coaching staff going, well, what can we do? 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.520 You go a step further? What do we watch on 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.159 Thursday night? Yeah? The Sancis one. I think Sean McVay 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.359 is one of the best minds in football. But I 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:22.320 watched mac Jones without Pearsall, without uh Iu, without Jennings, 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:27.520 without Kittle, beat the Rams figured it out and figure 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.000 it out. Mac Jones looked competent. You didn't realize if 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.159 you didn't know that they're missing seventy percent. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.639 Of their offense on the road. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.800 Short Week found ways to get their one playmaker, like 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.160 McVeigh smart, Rams are smart. If you go into that game, 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.520 what do you think they're gonna take away? We gotta 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.760 find a way to take Christian McCaffrey away. He's still 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:51.520 dominated early in that game. How scheme? So don't tell 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.119 me that you know Detroit's gonna take They're gonna take 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.760 Jamar Chase away. Yeah, they're gonna take t Higgins away. 0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:58.760 They're gonna make someone else. 0:19:59.119 --> 0:19:59.320 No. 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.840 But you know what's frustrating to me about that is 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.920 that predates. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:05.480 Joe Burrow getting hurt. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.159 Yeah, because what was the conversation after the Cleveland game 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:09.520 where they struggled offensively? 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.000 Bad matchup? You know, the Browns just have sticky corners. 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.160 So wait a minute, You've got these two all world 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.359 wide receivers that you've paid, and you just shrug your 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.960 shoulders and allowed the Cleveland Browns to say you can't 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:20.360 throw the ball. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.440 Team. You don't get many opportunities to tea because we 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:23.760 want to be in twelve persons. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.840 And that was like nobody wanted to talk about it 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.800 because they won the game, and at the end of 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.040 the day, that's that's all that matters, I guess. But 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.960 in that game against the Browns, it felt like the 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:37.720 Bengals said, Okay, okay, Jim Schwartz, Cleveland's defensive coordinator, Okay, 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.520 you don't want us to throw to our wide receivers. 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:40.800 Okay, we won't. 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.000 That was alarming, and that's before Joe Burrow got hurt. 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.840 But if that's the case, and in that game, when 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.199 you win, if you're Jamar Chase, you sit back and say, Okay, 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.879 at least we won. Yeah the last two weeks. No, 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.160 if you're Jamar Chase and you're sitting back and you're 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.239 not being utilized, and you watch Thursday night Football and 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.280 you watch Justin Jefferson today have some success against the 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.520 Cleveland Browns, who you couldn't have success against. Now you're 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.480 starting to think, wait a second. If I'm not gonna 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.760 get mine and we're gonna be losing by twenty that's 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:17.160 an issue. So I don't care what level of football. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.360 Every receiver in the history of the sport has done it.

But let's look ahead. I guess you know 0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.720 when Joe Burrow got hurt. Fair conversations about do you 0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.800 go find somebody else? They obviously have not with each 0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:21.919 passing week since the outside conversations about what they do 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:23.600 at quarterback have intensified. 0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:24.320 Today. 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:28.359 All right, if we see anything that looks like what 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:30.960 we saw in the past two weeks, do you give 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:31.960 Brett Ripping a shot? 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.760 I can't believe we're having the conversation about giving Brett 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:40.200 Ripping the shot, because well, the moment you and I 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:44.200 talked after the Burrow injury. The side I've been on 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.960 was go get a quarterback, not to have to start 0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.880 right away, but if the last two weeks went like 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:53.120 they did, because if you go get a quarterback right away, 0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.240 a proven quarterback, the last two weeks, they've been getting 0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:59.080 up to speed, and now you at least give yourself 0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:01.840 a chance today in some lions. Okay, he's had two 0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:03.320 weeks to get in this. I don't care who it is, 0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:07.920 Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Kirk Cousins at Joe Flacke. I 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.200 don't care who you say, but they would have had 0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.640 two weeks in the system. You've waited, and now if 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:16.160 you were to bring somebody in, you've got to allow 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:20.680 more build up. I was shocked, first of all to 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.080 hear Zach Taylor this week say I've got the utmost 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.640 confidence in Jake Browning. I don't believe him. I don't 0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:29.840 believe him, and I don't believe that the locker room 0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:31.320 does after watching the last two weeks. 0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:32.440 And that's probably a bigger deal. 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.320 And that's the issue because now you've probably got guys 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:41.440 saying what he just said, confidence and who like the 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:47.000 utmost confidence. So clearly what they're doing with Jake browning's 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.600 not working. I guess if that's next in line, you 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.640 give Ripping a chance. But I feel like you could 0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:56.960 have been more proactive weeks ago and giving yourself a 0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:58.440 better opportunity going into today. 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.320 What's interesting to me is like there's pushback when you 0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:03.600 mentioned any of those guys. 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:05.720 Yeah, and I. 0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.880 Like, all right, you're you're not gonna trade for Josh Allen. Okay, 0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:11.400 you're gonna get a guy who's not starting in the 0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.600 NFL right now, but you have at least got to 0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:16.880 present yourself options that are possibly better than what you have. 0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.720 We were in the office that first day after Burrow 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:24.720 got hurt, and our colleague Austin Elmore asked about I 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.120 think it was I think it was Russell Wilson, Yeah, 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.560 because he had just lost his job starting job with 0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:30.880 the New York Giants, so I guess it might have 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:34.560 been a week after the Burrow injury. And I said, yes, 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.160 he goes you think he's better than Browning? Then I go, probably, 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:40.240 but he's better than Brett Rippon. Yeah, right, so start 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.120 there is there a guy who's better than your backup 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.880 option for the dude you're gonna go ahead with because 0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:48.360 you want a better backup option if the guy you're 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.040 gonna go ahead with isn't good enough and you have 0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:52.560 time to pull the trigger and you do. 0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:56.840 I'll say it about Russell Wilson, him in particular. Yeah, 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:58.920 his numbers might not have been great over the last 0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:00.880 couple of years. I watched him in Cincinnati last year, 0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:05.280 look fine by the way. First a couple of weeks 0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:07.320 ago with the before he got bench with the Giants, 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.560 he through for four fifty in a game, his career high. Right, 0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.000 what I know about him, He'll take shots to your dudes. 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.680 He'll give him opportunities. I might be double coverage at times, 0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:18.080 but he'll throw the ball down the field and let 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:21.400 him go get it right. I just we've not seen 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.440 that from Jake. And what I watched on tape last 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.400 week was a quarterback that's not reading the right direction. 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:32.000 Quarterback that's not making the right decisions. And when you're 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:34.760 going away from your guys and they're open, then what 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:37.080 do you start to see on film? Guys are throwing 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.760 their hands up, Guys are frustrated as the pass drops 0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.400 and stopping the routes, stopping their routes. Uh, you see 0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.400 the looks, the blank looks on the sideline as they're 0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.400 sitting on the bench.

We talked about him on the air yesterday. 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:21.240 You have filled his shoes capably, but certainly asking everybody 0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:23.920 in our audience to send one wishes to Jim and 0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:24.400 his family. 0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:27.799 Yeah. As great as he's been for the University of Cincinnati, 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:31.600 I said yesterday, and for the football program and the 0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:34.680 excellence that comes with the Kelly name, it's what Jim 0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:37.960 is as an actual person. Yes, that's even more impressive. 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:42.440 And you know, as much as our road trips, like 0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:44.359 I missed Jim in the booth, I also miss being 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:46.319 able to go out and have dinner and a couple 0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:48.080 of drinks with Jim, no doubt on the road that 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:49.960 was one of the best parts to me that that 0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:51.839 we get to do with our job is spend time 0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:54.759 with him like that. Yeah, we miss him. Yeah, and 0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:57.520 they've done well the last two weeks. 0:42:57.520 --> 0:43:00.279 They've done well by Jim, no doubt about it. Thirty 0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:03.000 eight to thirty victory over Iowa State. I think the 0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:04.160 Bearcats might be pretty good. 0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:07.480 Man. I don't know if I've seen a better first 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:08.680 half of football in a long time. 0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:12.360 Uh huh against a good opponent, well coached. 0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.280 Yeah, I don't know if I've seen a more dominant 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.680 offensive line showing in a first half yep, in a 0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:23.920 long time. And it's so backwards because we watch that 0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:26.640 and then we talk about what this old line does 0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:32.960 or doesn't do. For the Cincinnati Bengals, they play with attitude, 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:38.640 They play with toughness, they play with physicalness, and on 0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:41.200 a smaller level of what you see here with Gibbs 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:46.120 and Montgomery, they have that with Walker and Pryor in 0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.320 their running game, and all of a sudden, these receivers 0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:52.160 are getting open. Joe Royer is as good in the 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:54.720 running game as he is in the passing game receiving 0:43:56.160 --> 0:44:00.239 Soresby's playing with a ton of confidence. It's just it's 0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:02.719 a lot, a lot of fun to see how it's 0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:06.040 all coming together. And as bad as it felt at times, 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:08.839 defense got the stops in the second half when they 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.440 needed him, when it felt like the offense was sputtering 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:15.000 a little bit. Yeah, the defense carried the load, which 0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:16.440 I didn't know if they were capable of at that 0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:16.960 point yet. 0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:19.760 I'm not sure the thirty points that Iowa State scored 0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:23.680 is totally indicative of how good, Yeah, Cincinnati's defense was, 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:25.560 because it was good when it had to be, When 0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:27.320 the offense was kind of stuck in the mud and 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.800 Iowa States trying to come back, the defense got repeated stops. 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.879 I'll say this about Brendon Sorosby, and you talked about 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:34.520 it a lot during the broadcast yesterday. 0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:35.920 I didn't think he was great. 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.480 Yeah, but you watch a lot of quarterbacks who when 0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:40.360 they're not having a great day and they have to 0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:42.960 make a throw, they don't on third and eight to 0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:45.719 Caleb Goody for the eighty two yard touchdown, which at 0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:48.040 least allowed everybody to breathe a sigh of relief. 0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:49.719 He drops an absolute time. 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:55.680 It is so hard, as someone once throwing four interceptions 0:44:55.680 --> 0:45:00.600 in a BCS game you did. No, It's impossible when 0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:04.279 things aren't going your way to just be like, all right, 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:06.920 fucking good now. Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that he 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:11.680 missed opportunities yesterday, and the running game was so effective, 0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:14.359 you knew the opportunities were there to come back at 0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:16.040 the end of the game when it felt like you 0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:18.000 don't want to punt it back to Iowa State and 0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:21.200 have to have your defense out there. Drops an absolute 0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:26.239 dime to Caleb Goody. Is remarkable, and they overcame that. 0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:29.160 I don't know if I've ever seen seven straight penalties called. 0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:30.680 They overcame that. 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:35.600 What a way the way the penalty on Matthew McDoom, 0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:38.040 the pass interference right before the half that kind of 0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:42.240 opened the door garbage, was an atrocious call. The wide 0:45:42.239 --> 0:45:45.640 receiver is coming down the field grabbing Matthew's face mask. 0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:49.360 Yeah, the Logan Wilson late the penalty that show on 0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:52.600 him when the receiver was trying to run, Yes, like 0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:54.680 didn't pick him up in body slam him, just took 0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:57.920 him to the ground. Yeah, it was. It was insane. 0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:00.880 But what I like most about it we built it 0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:03.640 up as a big deal this week because the Bengals 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:06.399 are struggling because the Reds were eliminated, and we thought, 0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:11.759 man if if there was ever a time for uc 0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:14.840 to grab hold of the city, here comes a fourteenth 0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:20.680 ranked team. Yeah, you're building Knippert Stadium sold out. Environment's unbelievable. 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:24.200 Great to deliver the way they did and were dominant, 0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:27.799 and they had to overcome adversity everything. They checked off 0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:30.480 back to back wins like they did. Kansas went on 0:46:30.480 --> 0:46:32.440 the road and beat uc APP last week. That's your 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:37.680 next opponent. Just extremely extremely impressive on so many levels. 0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:39.480 The game got weird at the end. 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.839 Yeah, Cincinnati was trying to run out the clock. They 0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:46.520 call it run play on first down. They took a 0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:49.200 knee on second. Then it was like they realized, I'll 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.560 wait a minute, the game's not over and called a 0:46:51.640 --> 0:46:54.799 running play like that was weird. Iowa State also their 0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:59.000 last offensive play, they're throwing some laterals and the like. 0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.080 Probably wouldn't have worked, but I don't know. They were 0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:05.719 having some success. They lateral to a tight end. He 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:07.359 just walks out of like. 0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:09.520 Literally, it was the most casual walk out of bounds ever. 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:13.040 That tight end. Was like, nah, these are my stats. 0:47:13.080 --> 0:47:18.040 I'm taking these stats. Did you have any issue with 0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:21.880 the field rush? No? I love a field rush. Yeah, 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:25.440 because people, well, you're right, some fort ranked team in 0:47:25.440 --> 0:47:28.960 the country and this fan base has been waiting to 0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:32.160 rally and celebrate and now it's already started. Yes, now 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.160 it's let's do it again. Next Saturday. Yeah, let's do 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:38.040 it again. Let's let's keep this rolling and let's see 0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:42.359 where this can go. It. It's remarkable growing up here, 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:45.440 and you've seen it when you see as playing at 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:48.799 a better, higher level. It's just a different vibe around 0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:52.399 the city, in a different feel. And I'm seeing more 0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:55.359 now when I'm out in places, people wanting to talk 0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.640 about not the Rets, not the Bengals. Man, how about 0:47:58.680 --> 0:47:59.959 that UC game? I think that about. 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:02.600 I think that Kansas game made people perk up. But 0:48:02.840 --> 0:48:04.760 all right, people have perked up and they're paying attention 0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:07.040 and again, like and all that goes away if you 0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:09.879 lose yesterday, they they didn't just win and the game 0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:11.480 got closer than it should have been. 0:48:12.200 --> 0:48:13.439 They played really well. 0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:16.760 Like that looks like a well coached, well put together 0:48:16.840 --> 0:48:19.560 football team. I'm not crazy enough to think they're gonna 0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:22.160 run the table. I'm not stupid enough to think that 0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:25.520 they They still don't have some heavy lifting to do. 0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:27.799 But to tell you what, in the aftermath of the 0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:31.480 Nebraska game, when Brendan Soresby threw for sixty nine yards 0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:37.040 to now, I think my expectation for the season has changed. 0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:40.800 The schedule is reasonably favorable, the league top to bottom 0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:45.400 isn't awesome. This could be a very good season. And 0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:48.560 I'll also say this man, you talk with him every week. 0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:53.200 Scott Sadefield earned a lot of skepticism, both you know, 0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.600 with the way he was hired, but also the previous 0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:56.240 two years. 0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:59.400 I'm happy for him. His team is enjoying some success. 0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:00.520 Loves him. 0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:02.640 He's handled himself in a first class manner. 0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:04.719 Think about what you want. I'm in the locker room. 0:49:04.800 --> 0:49:08.799 Those guys love him, man, I love him. I also think, 0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:10.600 like if I'm sitting here today, I think Texas Tech 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:12.000 right now is the best team in the Big twelve. 0:49:12.000 --> 0:49:18.439 Agreed else and is probably good. You don't play Texas Tech. 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:21.520 You get BYU in your building. You gotta go to Utah, 0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:25.320 which will be tough, but Baylor's here, TCU's here, TCUs 0:49:25.360 --> 0:49:28.520 on the road, but I think Baylor will be the 0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:32.000 next toughest GID. That's that's in your building. It is 0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:33.960 a favorable schedule, and you don't want to look too 0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:37.840 far ahead. You got to take care of business against UCF. 0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:39.480 We know what that game has been like the last 0:49:39.520 --> 0:49:42.319 couple of years. And if you do that and you 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:45.200 take care of Oklahoma State come back home against Baylor 0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:48.960 with the potential to be four to oh homecoming rockets environment, 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:51.960 and it's exciting right now to talk about UC football. 0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:53.640 They're one throw away from being five. 0:49:53.480 --> 0:49:57.320 And oh yeah, not even a throw a throw away. 0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:01.040 It's frustrating thing. They complete it, Yeah, got it away, 0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:03.600 kick the field going. Who knows what happens in overtime? 0:50:03.880 --> 0:50:05.720 Fourteen away from one o'clock. 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.160 By the way, Vikings hold on to beat the Browns 0:50:08.160 --> 0:50:10.840 twenty one to seventeen. So the Cleveland Browns follow a 0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:15.000 one in four. That's what we sent to London. Yeah, 0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:18.320 Dylan Gabriel threw a couple of touchdowns in his NFL debut, 0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:21.279 but Carson Wentz throws the go ahead touchdown pass with 0:50:21.440 --> 0:50:23.759 less than a half a minute ago. The Vikings improved two, 0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:25.560 three and two. We'll look ahead to the one o'clock 0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:28.440 games when we come back.

Brought to 0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:45.520 you by Plump Tight, Fast Response Times, No Service Foods. 0:53:47.400 --> 0:53:48.800 Detroit Lions. 0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:52.799 Uh. 0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:56.240 You mentioned their success over over their last three games 0:53:56.320 --> 0:54:00.480 one hundred and twenty four points. I've been amazed and 0:54:00.600 --> 0:54:04.040 watching them function, and I thought, and I do think 0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:05.400 Ben Johnson is a genius. 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:06.200 Uh huh. 0:54:06.400 --> 0:54:09.360 You lose a guy like that, and everyone started to 0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:12.040 wonder like, oh if can Jared Golf succeed with not 0:54:12.680 --> 0:54:16.680 after the first game. Yeah, yeah, And now everyone's bought 0:54:16.719 --> 0:54:21.080 back in. They're functioning at a high level. Not the 0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:23.320 greatest time you wanted this, Detroit. Remember when the schedule 0:54:23.360 --> 0:54:24.879 came out, You're like, maybe you get him early because 0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:27.759 of new coordinators. It feels like they're right in their 0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.800 stride right now offensively and one of the hottest teams 0:54:30.800 --> 0:54:31.240 in the league. 0:54:31.239 --> 0:54:35.000 All right, let's start the one o'clock games by talking 0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:36.920 about one of the two four to no teams in 0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:41.799 the NFL. That's the Philadelphia Eagles, who are undefeated. They 0:54:41.800 --> 0:54:44.439 haven't won a game by more than one score. They've 0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:46.760 got to figure out way to unearth A. J. Brown, 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.799 who has twenty seven receiving yards, are fewer in three 0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:50.680 of their four games. 0:54:50.719 --> 0:54:51.319 Jalen Hurts. 0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:53.920 They won last week without him completing a pass and 0:54:54.040 --> 0:54:56.600 the second half. Philly is at home today laying three 0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:58.120 and a half points against the Broncos. 0:54:58.160 --> 0:54:59.920 I don't know how you go against Philly until they 0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:02.880 prove the otherwise. Agreed. They find ways to win in 0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:05.719 so many ways. And it feels like the Philly way, 0:55:06.520 --> 0:55:08.319 like Hurt struggled a little bit in the second half. 0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:08.560 A J. 0:55:08.680 --> 0:55:13.080 Brown feels like he's upset. Hurts'll find him like nine 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:14.640 times a day for one hundred and twenty yards and 0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:17.680 a touchdown. And I wasn't overly impressed with BOONEX and 0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:18.399 Denver last week. 0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:20.239 No, that was the thing about that game, Like it 0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:22.759 was twenty eight to three. You're thinking, God, the Broncos 0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:24.400 must have been really good. Now, I didn't think that 0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:27.600 was the case, not at all. All Right, I'll take Philly. 0:55:27.600 --> 0:55:29.480 I'll lay the three and a half points. That city 0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:31.919 reeling after the Phillies blew an early three nothing lead 0:55:31.960 --> 0:55:34.960 last night against the Dodgers. Uh, I'm glad I'm not 0:55:35.000 --> 0:55:37.359 watching this one. The Saints are in home, laying two 0:55:37.400 --> 0:55:40.480 against the Giants. Spencer Rattler, oh and ten is the 0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:41.360 starting quarterback. 0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:46.360 I mean, what kind of leash do you get? Obviously, 0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:48.400 I thought there were so many good things about Jackson 0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:51.120 Dart last week. Huh, but the loss of elite neighbors? 0:55:51.160 --> 0:55:53.440 How do you overcome that? Right? With that offense? But 0:55:54.680 --> 0:55:57.560 New Orleans has been that bad. I'll take the Giants. 0:55:57.680 --> 0:55:59.359 I'm actually gonna go the other way. They have led 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:01.759 for all of four four minutes this season. Okay, they're 0:56:01.840 --> 0:56:05.879 laying two at home. Okay, Jackson Dart was fine last week. 0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:08.640 His one touchdown pass was a shovel pass, which shouldn't 0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:12.800 count job pass making a comeback. I'll take the Saints, 0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:16.640 Dallas Cowboys coming off the forty all tie on the 0:56:16.719 --> 0:56:19.240 road against the Jets or zero to four laying two. 0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:20.080 And a half. 0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:23.960 I don't know what to make of Dallas. I don't 0:56:23.960 --> 0:56:26.080 know what to make of the Jets, but I feel 0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:29.360 like the Jets are close with Aaron Glenn. They've been competitive, yes, 0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:32.080 and a lot of their losses. I'll take the Jets 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:33.840 and Justin Fields to get it done today. 0:56:33.920 --> 0:56:37.040 Dallas has allowed the second most number of rushes of 0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:40.520 fifteen yards or more by opposing quarterbacks justin fields breaks 0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:43.120 a few Today, I'll take the points with the Jets. 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:47.600 Indy at Home is laying a touchdown against Las Vegas, 0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:49.960 and the backstory of this game is one of the 0:56:49.960 --> 0:56:52.319 more bizarre stories I've ever seen, and I don't want 0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:54.480 to make too much light of it, but if you 0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:56.880 have not followed the Mark Sanchez story, he was in 0:56:57.040 --> 0:57:00.359 town to call the Colts game for Fox and got 0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:04.880 stabbed and he's in stable condition, but he has been 0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:08.239 arrested for apparently provoking the incident that led to him 0:57:08.560 --> 0:57:09.360 getting stabbed. 0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:13.239 Yeah, and it's it's like the report happens, and there's 0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:15.399 so many people out there like such a great guy, 0:57:15.920 --> 0:57:18.360 couldn't find anyone nicer prayers to Mark Sanchez. 0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:20.400 This is what you get for walking around downtown. 0:57:20.440 --> 0:57:23.200 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, We're actually looking 0:57:23.200 --> 0:57:26.760 into Mark Sanchez. And then it's we're arresting Mark Sanchez. 0:57:28.560 --> 0:57:30.160 I guess with all that going on, you gotta leave 0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:30.760 the whole team. 0:57:32.920 --> 0:57:35.800 I got nothing, I go a bizarre story. So Vegas 0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:38.040 has lost their left tackle. I think that's gonna hurt 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:41.680 their ability to get asked, and genty going and Gino 0:57:41.760 --> 0:57:44.120 Smith has already thrown seven picks. I think that is 0:57:44.160 --> 0:57:47.240 a blowout in India. I'll take the Colts Baltimore with 0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:50.840 Cooper Rush and a thousand guys hurt laying a point 0:57:50.800 --> 0:57:52.959 and a half again at a point in a half 0:57:53.000 --> 0:57:54.080 at home against Houston. 0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:58.680 Gosh, I gotta take Houston. I was with you, we 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:02.040 talked about this earlier. I thought Baltimore would still find 0:58:02.080 --> 0:58:05.080 a way. No Marlin Humphrey, now no Kyle Hamilton. I 0:58:05.120 --> 0:58:09.600 guess I'll take Houston. Still got Terrick Henry, Yeah, although 0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:10.680 they don't give him the ball much. 0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:13.400 It's gonna get weird for John Harball if they fall 0:58:13.480 --> 0:58:16.720 to one and five. Absolute Super Bowl aspirations. You look 0:58:16.800 --> 0:58:19.000 like the best roster in the NFL. Even after that 0:58:19.040 --> 0:58:22.920 first game. Yep, the Dolphins are laying a point on 0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:24.120 the road against Carolina. 0:58:24.920 --> 0:58:28.120 I'm not going against Carolina. This is a uh, this 0:58:28.160 --> 0:58:31.560 is a Bryce Young get right game. Carolina Panthers rally 0:58:31.560 --> 0:58:35.040 in this one. I like uh. I like Carolina. They 0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:38.320 are so weird, Like they beat Atlanta thirty to nothing 0:58:38.680 --> 0:58:40.760 and then they'll lay an egg. I think they do 0:58:40.880 --> 0:58:42.640 enough to day to get it done against Miami without 0:58:42.640 --> 0:58:43.280 Tyreek Hill. 0:58:43.320 --> 0:58:46.520 I think their coach is weird. Bryce Young, I don't 0:58:46.560 --> 0:58:50.280 think has progressed. And I think the Dolphins, I certainly 0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:52.400 don't want to make light of a guy's injury, but 0:58:52.480 --> 0:58:55.040 I think the Dolphins are weirdly better without Tyreek Hill. 0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:59.000 Jalen Waddell, Yeah, yeah, I think the Dolphins are weirdly 0:58:59.040 --> 0:59:01.800 better without him. I think they cover win the game 0:59:01.840 --> 0:59:03.760 out right, I'll I'll take the Fins. 0:59:04.760 --> 0:59:05.680 We will see. 0:59:06.200 --> 0:59:08.000 Uh, we have a lot of ground to cover between 0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.800 now and three o'clock. Bengal's hosting the Detroit Lions today 0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:15.800 at the venue originally known as Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati 0:59:15.880 --> 0:59:16.800 A ten and a half point. 0:59:16.800 --> 0:59:18.240 We don't have to look that yet, though, do we. 0:59:18.400 --> 0:59:21.480 We're gonna pick the four o'clock ready Sunday night game 0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:23.640 and the Monday night game at two thirty. I give 0:59:23.640 --> 0:59:26.000 you some time to kind of marinate on it. I 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:27.760 give you some time to sort of figure it out. 0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:31.520 Well. You you started doing these, uh are pick'ems, and 0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:33.560 then I realized, because of the late start, that I 0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.720 have yet to set my lineup for my my weekly 0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:38.720 fantasy this week. Yeah, but you got to do that 0:59:38.760 --> 0:59:42.600 before the No, no, no, oh really no, this is 0:59:42.640 --> 0:59:53.800 a week okay, but seam looks terrible, just terrible. Jim 0:59:53.840 --> 0:59:56.920 Morin's in the house, hopefully staying in the house as 0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:59.760 you might expect, hopefully not going down the street as well. 1:00:01.000 --> 1:00:03.000 Has there ever been a worst track record. 1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:07.000 To travel to One of the owners and proprietors of 1:00:07.040 --> 1:00:10.360 this establishment went to Minneapolis two weeks ago and I 1:00:10.360 --> 1:00:13.120 think was on a plane before the game ended, and 1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:16.680 then he said I'm going down And then he was 1:00:16.800 --> 1:00:20.200 with us in Denver last week and he made it 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:23.080 three He made it longer than I wanted to. He 1:00:23.080 --> 1:00:24.160 he left in the fourth quarter. 1:00:24.200 --> 1:00:25.520 I sat up a text to day, I get credit 1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:28.880 to him because he's going back today, so he's gonna 1:00:28.920 --> 1:00:29.760 ride it to the wheels. 1:00:29.800 --> 1:00:32.520 Followed the definition of die hard right there. 1:00:32.720 --> 1:00:33.480 I respect it. 1:00:33.800 --> 1:00:35.720 The definition of die hard right there. 1:00:35.760 --> 1:00:41.880 It's the definition of something, but I respect all of it. 1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:43.440 Jim is a lot of things. 1:00:43.800 --> 1:00:48.320 The most loyal and passionate Cincinnati sports fan is very 1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:51.160 high on that list, there's no question about it. And 1:00:51.800 --> 1:00:54.600 owns and runs a bar here which reflects as much. Yes, 1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:57.600 and it's awesome of him to have him with us here. 1:00:57.680 --> 1:00:59.120 It's also nice of him to have us here all 1:00:59.160 --> 1:00:59.960 the time, every single week. 1:01:01.680 --> 1:01:04.800 There's no question about it. It is and we're gonna 1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:05.760 dive into the game itself. 1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:07.919 We've got a couple of minutes. This was a game. 1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:11.560 This is the most expensive regular season ticket in the 1:01:11.600 --> 1:01:14.200 history of the Bengals franchise. Yeah, and I'm not talking 1:01:14.280 --> 1:01:16.320 like secondary markets, StubHub stuff like that. 1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:19.280 This was a game that I think everybody looked at it. 1:01:19.320 --> 1:01:19.520 Look. 1:01:19.760 --> 1:01:21.600 I get it, maybe to a degree, you're trying to 1:01:21.640 --> 1:01:23.760 price out fans of the other team, but you knew 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:27.000 there were gonna be a lot of Lions fans here today. 1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:28.840 This was one of those games I think is a 1:01:28.840 --> 1:01:32.360 football fan you looked at before the season started and said, 1:01:32.360 --> 1:01:34.480 I'm going to watch those two offenses. I want to 1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:37.320 watch those two teams play against each other and maybe 1:01:37.360 --> 1:01:40.080 we'll see it again in Santa Clara in February. And 1:01:40.160 --> 1:01:42.520 so I hate that the Bengals are where they are 1:01:42.520 --> 1:01:44.600 for a lot of different reasons, but it's taking the 1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:46.520 shine off of this game to a large degree. 1:01:46.680 --> 1:01:49.160 Yeah, Like, if you like you mentioned not just even 1:01:49.160 --> 1:01:52.280 if you're a Lions and Bengals fan. When the schedule 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:54.720 came out. If you're a fan of football, you're like, 1:01:54.800 --> 1:01:58.160 holy cow, I get that. Ver's that four to twenty 1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:01.800 five start? Yes, sign me up for everything. It's just 1:02:02.760 --> 1:02:04.880 it couldn't have gone worse so far for the Bengals, 1:02:05.360 --> 1:02:07.160 and here you are now. It couldn't happen at a 1:02:07.160 --> 1:02:10.440 worse time for this fireposs Like, why couldn't the Saints 1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:12.200 be on the schedule? Yeah, this week? 1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:15.280 The thing is like it could have gone worse because frankly, 1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:18.000 they should have lost the Cleveland game and they're a 1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:20.840 shaky p I call away from losing the Jacksonville game, 1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:22.720 like they're lucky to be two and two. 1:02:23.000 --> 1:02:26.160 Yep.

So everyone seems to be saying the right things. 1:04:22.280 --> 1:04:25.720 Everyone is talking in a positive manner, but we waste 1:04:25.880 --> 1:04:28.960 and see how much they're ready to compromise and how 1:04:29.040 --> 1:04:30.400 much they're ready to agree. 1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:33.680 President Trump is optimistic about these talks as he heads 1:04:33.720 --> 1:04:37.960 to a Navy celebration today in Virginia.

Yes, we have 1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:01.160 a lot of our friends from Detroit here, but we're 1:11:01.200 --> 1:11:01.719 having fun. 1:11:02.000 --> 1:11:03.280 Yeah, No, it seemed nice so far. 1:11:03.400 --> 1:11:05.800 Bengals and Lions, I think there's a kinship there, Like 1:11:05.840 --> 1:11:09.679 we're kind of both tortured fan bases, both teams are cats, 1:11:09.760 --> 1:11:12.559 we're both in the Midwestern part of the country. Sure, 1:11:12.880 --> 1:11:14.479 you know, up until a couple of years ago, the 1:11:14.520 --> 1:11:17.200 Lions hadn't won a playoff game since like nineteen ninety one. 1:11:17.200 --> 1:11:19.559 The Bengals hadn't won a playoff game since nineteen ninety 1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:21.639 So I think there's some commonality there. 1:11:21.720 --> 1:11:23.639 Yes, and we'll see. 1:11:23.680 --> 1:11:25.200 Things just seem to be going a little bit better 1:11:25.200 --> 1:11:26.080 for their fans right now. 1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:28.320 Than ours at the moment. Yes, yeah, at the moment yet, 1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:28.679 but it's. 1:11:28.600 --> 1:11:31.040 A long year. We got thirteen weeks left. We have 1:11:31.080 --> 1:11:34.920 thirteen weeks left, thirteen games. Is that good or bad? 1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:36.719 I asked me tomorrow. 1:11:36.800 --> 1:11:40.280 But I think that's the thing about what happened against 1:11:40.280 --> 1:11:42.559 Denver is a lot of us walked away from that game, 1:11:42.920 --> 1:11:45.599 not so much thinking about two and two or the loss, 1:11:46.160 --> 1:11:49.160 but how bad might this get because of who they 1:11:49.200 --> 1:11:50.360 play in the coming weeks. 1:11:50.800 --> 1:11:53.840 Well, the Denver game you looked at and you said, okay, 1:11:54.520 --> 1:11:57.240 five turnovers, game got out of hand at Minnesota, right, 1:11:57.520 --> 1:12:00.240 Jake Browning's trying to get his footing. All right, wait 1:12:00.280 --> 1:12:04.040 and see what happens at Denver because they've not been dominant, right, 1:12:04.080 --> 1:12:08.880 They've not been over the top great. So the demoralizing 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:12.960 part about Denver they didn't turn the ball over, they 1:12:12.960 --> 1:12:17.320 didn't kill themselves and penalties, and it didn't feel like 1:12:17.400 --> 1:12:20.280 Denver was dominant. Like, if you walk out of that game, 1:12:20.320 --> 1:12:23.120 you're like, man, Denver might be a contender. I didn't. 1:12:23.640 --> 1:12:25.640 That's the most demoralizing. You and I talk going into 1:12:25.640 --> 1:12:28.200 the game, Denver kind of feels like the swing game. 1:12:28.760 --> 1:12:31.439 Find a way to win start talking yourself into something 1:12:31.479 --> 1:12:34.559 going on this season, lose and now you're kind of 1:12:35.400 --> 1:12:37.439 trying to get your footing back. It feels like they 1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:39.600 can't find their footing right now, which is dangerous. 1:12:39.760 --> 1:12:43.920 So Zach Taylor took and I think deserved a lot 1:12:43.920 --> 1:12:46.720 of criticism for how his team played on Monday Night. 1:12:47.640 --> 1:12:49.640 I think the thing though, that stood out to me 1:12:50.040 --> 1:12:54.120 was watching that game, and obviously to a large degree, 1:12:54.160 --> 1:12:59.600 the Minnesota game, our fears about the roster have come true. 1:12:58.920 --> 1:13:04.080 Like the Bengals did a lot less in this offseason 1:13:04.080 --> 1:13:06.439 than we thought they would coming in. Like you and 1:13:06.439 --> 1:13:09.439 I do a show every Monday during the football season. 1:13:09.479 --> 1:13:12.280 Our last show was the day after the Bengals season ended, 1:13:13.080 --> 1:13:15.960 when the Broncos beat the Chiefs to take that playoff spot, 1:13:15.960 --> 1:13:19.040 and we talked about how the offseason should unfold, and 1:13:19.120 --> 1:13:22.120 we discussed a lot of position groups, but frankly, they 1:13:22.120 --> 1:13:25.639 did not address And so, all right, Zach gets heat. 1:13:25.479 --> 1:13:27.599 For his roster not being prepared, and that's fine. 1:13:27.680 --> 1:13:31.160 I'm looking at Duke Tobin's job performance going you put 1:13:31.160 --> 1:13:34.479 this together, you put this team together, You let that 1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:38.639 secondary go completely unaddressed. And yet there's Cam Taylor, Britt 1:13:38.680 --> 1:13:42.960 getting benched again. There's Geno Stone playing poorly again. You 1:13:43.040 --> 1:13:45.200 looked at that defensive line and it's not that you 1:13:45.240 --> 1:13:47.759 didn't make some changes. 1:13:47.800 --> 1:13:48.639 You brought in TJ. 1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:51.759 Slayton. But you look at the defensive line getting pushed around. 1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:54.799 You see the lack of pass rush which continues. Shamar 1:13:54.880 --> 1:13:56.880 Stewart not being healthy doesn't help. 1:13:56.920 --> 1:13:57.000 You. 1:13:57.040 --> 1:13:58.400 Look at the offensive line. 1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:02.479 They've tried Lucas Patrick, huh huh, Dalton Reisner uh uh. 1:14:02.560 --> 1:14:06.120 Now it's Jalen Rivers turn. He's the starting guard. You 1:14:06.240 --> 1:14:10.160 didn't make sufficient improvements to the offensive line. Your quarterback 1:14:10.160 --> 1:14:12.800 has hurt again, and I guess the thing for me, Tony, 1:14:12.840 --> 1:14:15.040 when I look at the roster. You can beat up 1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:17.759 on the Bengals for keeping Jamar Chase and T Higgins. 1:14:17.960 --> 1:14:20.400 I'm not sure who else on this team. Yeah, you 1:14:20.439 --> 1:14:22.519 look at it and go, we got a stash money 1:14:22.560 --> 1:14:24.160 away to pay that guy Mo. 1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:26.559 If the season was over today and you're looking at 1:14:26.600 --> 1:14:28.800 next year, how many core pieces would you want back 1:14:28.880 --> 1:14:31.760 that you couldn't live without. I couldn't get to eight 1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:32.559 this week. I could. 1:14:32.600 --> 1:14:34.080 I'm not sure I can get to five. 1:14:34.240 --> 1:14:38.040 Because you start like Joe Jamar t Okay who won 1:14:38.080 --> 1:14:40.479 the defense? Would you say, flat out right now, we 1:14:40.520 --> 1:14:44.160 can't live without none? Maybe Schamar, but I've seen him once. 1:14:44.200 --> 1:14:45.360 I don't know. 1:14:45.479 --> 1:14:46.320 I have no clue. 1:14:47.080 --> 1:14:51.960 Rico McPherson, like, I don't even know what that looks 1:14:52.040 --> 1:14:55.400 like going forward. Now, that's how depleted this roster is. 1:14:55.400 --> 1:14:58.000 I thought it was interesting. Zach talked this week about, 1:14:58.000 --> 1:15:00.000 you know, Duke's done a good job of presenting us 1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:02.920 with options at quarterback. If we were to go that route, 1:15:03.439 --> 1:15:06.880 then why yeah, none of the options were good or 1:15:08.080 --> 1:15:10.320 you can't do like I want to know more about that. 1:15:10.800 --> 1:15:14.560 If options were given, why didn't like whose decision is 1:15:14.600 --> 1:15:17.639 it to say no or yes? We want that? Because 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:19.559 that that to me what it goes down to. You 1:15:19.600 --> 1:15:22.240 want to talk about a miss Watch the guy up 1:15:22.240 --> 1:15:25.040 front today for Detroit, guy that you and I talked 1:15:25.080 --> 1:15:27.960 about a lot. Take rattles. Uh huh. We talked a 1:15:28.040 --> 1:15:30.400 ton leading up to the draft. They got him in 1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:31.040 the second round. 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:32.360 He looks like a five year pro. 1:15:32.600 --> 1:15:37.120 He looks like a maller uh huh, like a guy 1:15:37.120 --> 1:15:40.080 who's gonna buy at your ankles. He looks like what 1:15:40.240 --> 1:15:42.880 Dan Campbell coaches. Uh huh. And you and I sat 1:15:42.920 --> 1:15:46.559 on this stage at the draft and talked about in 1:15:46.640 --> 1:15:49.760 the second round, you gotta go get him out of Georgia. Yeah, 1:15:49.920 --> 1:15:52.880 you gotta go get him. They passed. I don't really 1:15:52.880 --> 1:15:55.120 know about Fairchild yet, but I know watching him and 1:15:55.160 --> 1:15:58.559 watching this Lion's offense, watch him today, watch how good 1:15:58.560 --> 1:15:59.400 in dominant he is. 1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:01.080 And that game last week. 1:16:01.120 --> 1:16:03.240 And I hate to sound like I'm picking on the two, 1:16:03.280 --> 1:16:06.880 but like Cam Taylor, Britt got benched again, not the 1:16:06.920 --> 1:16:10.800 first time, not the second time, got benched again. Yeah, 1:16:11.479 --> 1:16:15.519 Gino Stone last week, I watched him take more to. 1:16:15.439 --> 1:16:17.640 Take a pay cut. Hey, we want money back, but 1:16:17.680 --> 1:16:18.439 you're gonna be a starter. 1:16:18.600 --> 1:16:21.880 So if I owned the team, Duke Tobin would have 1:16:21.880 --> 1:16:24.960 been in my office on Tuesday morning answering the question, 1:16:25.760 --> 1:16:28.880 why did we decide not only to keep those guys, 1:16:29.280 --> 1:16:32.599 but not have anybody in our back pocket to replace him? 1:16:32.920 --> 1:16:37.320 Like last year's secondary was atrocious, but they literally did 1:16:37.360 --> 1:16:40.080 not add a corner or a safety in either free 1:16:40.080 --> 1:16:41.439 agency or the draft. 1:16:41.880 --> 1:16:44.840 How But your answer, if you're the organization to everything, 1:16:44.840 --> 1:16:48.080 has always been, as long as we have Joe, we're okay. Right, 1:16:48.120 --> 1:16:50.960 as long as we have Joe, we can overcome a 1:16:51.040 --> 1:16:53.479 porous defense because now we got out golden. But the 1:16:53.520 --> 1:16:57.559 fact is they didn't address the offensive line to protect Joe. Right, So, 1:16:57.600 --> 1:16:59.439 if you're gonna go into an offseason and say, look, 1:17:00.400 --> 1:17:02.000 we can't put a ton of the defense when we 1:17:02.040 --> 1:17:04.680 got al Golden, who's gonna help us. We got a 1:17:04.720 --> 1:17:06.720 new O line coach that's gonna help us, we got 1:17:06.720 --> 1:17:09.120 a new D line coach. Then at the very minimum, 1:17:09.160 --> 1:17:12.000 at the bare minimum, make sure your guy's protected. 1:17:12.120 --> 1:17:15.479 But then, like, all right, Duke Tobin, why can't you 1:17:15.520 --> 1:17:18.120 get the offensive line right? Yeah, you know it was 1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:20.400 in vogue two weeks ago when Joe got hurt to 1:17:20.479 --> 1:17:23.280 kind of blame Joe, And you know, I just thought 1:17:23.320 --> 1:17:25.800 that was ridiculous because I'm going, wait a minute. Even 1:17:25.840 --> 1:17:28.200 if you want to say Joe should dial back the 1:17:28.240 --> 1:17:30.160 hero ball, the reality is the Bengals have had a 1:17:30.160 --> 1:17:33.400 below average offensive line for a decade. Now, that conversation 1:17:33.600 --> 1:17:36.360 doesn't change just because you know, maybe you think Joe 1:17:36.360 --> 1:17:38.640 should adjust how he plays or what the offense is. 1:17:39.400 --> 1:17:42.479 I mean that there is the number one question, Duke, 1:17:42.920 --> 1:17:46.240 for a decade. Now, you have used draft choices, yeah, 1:17:46.280 --> 1:17:49.120 you have spent money in free agency, and yet we 1:17:49.200 --> 1:17:52.000 can't get this right on the offensive line, and it's 1:17:52.040 --> 1:17:54.360 not been because of lack of effort. They've tried, they 1:17:54.400 --> 1:17:55.080 haven't done it. 1:17:55.200 --> 1:17:58.800 And it's bizarre because he just doesn't speak ever. Right. 1:17:58.880 --> 1:17:59.840 He talks twice a year. 1:18:00.000 --> 1:18:02.439 Talks twice a year. So you get no answer, you 1:18:02.479 --> 1:18:06.439 get no path forward, you get no vision. It's hard. 1:18:07.200 --> 1:18:11.040 Zach Taylor gets the criticism that I think he deserves 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:14.360 at times, but at the same time he takes a 1:18:14.360 --> 1:18:16.519 lot of the criticism that should be having to be 1:18:16.560 --> 1:18:19.960 answered from Duke Tobin. Right, but you don't hear. He 1:18:20.040 --> 1:18:23.360 just doesn't talk. He's gonna speak twice a year. That's 1:18:23.400 --> 1:18:26.840 what it is. But to your point, they've used and 1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:31.280 given him draft capital, they've given him money and free agency. 1:18:31.640 --> 1:18:33.439 They've still not got it right. They've given now three 1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:36.479 offensive line coaches. Uh huh, not got it right. Everyone 1:18:36.520 --> 1:18:39.840 last year piled onto lu Ana Rumo right, doing pretty 1:18:39.840 --> 1:18:41.519 well in indies so far with that defense. 1:18:41.600 --> 1:18:43.760 So I've been thinking about this a lot because the 1:18:43.800 --> 1:18:46.880 red season has come to an end and they've got 1:18:46.880 --> 1:18:48.519 a lot of work to do. Because you look at 1:18:48.520 --> 1:18:50.320 the team and go, Okay, who are the guys? Who 1:18:50.360 --> 1:18:52.120 are they now? There might be some guys here you go, 1:18:52.560 --> 1:18:55.000 these are it, but they didn't have great years last year. 1:18:55.320 --> 1:18:57.200 Or there's some players you want to bring back but 1:18:57.280 --> 1:18:58.439 maybe in lesser roles. 1:18:58.720 --> 1:19:01.240 Who are the guys I asked. 1:19:00.960 --> 1:19:02.920 The exact same thing about the Bengals. I know what 1:19:03.000 --> 1:19:05.479 Jamar Chase is, I know what T Higgins is, I 1:19:05.560 --> 1:19:07.800 know what Joe Burrow is. Who are the guys? Who 1:19:07.800 --> 1:19:09.479 are the guys that I have to have on the 1:19:09.520 --> 1:19:13.040 team next year? Tony, I cannot name for you two more? 1:19:13.240 --> 1:19:16.559 Is there a guy right now on the old line 1:19:16.640 --> 1:19:19.240 you want to you wanna be discouraged. Go look at 1:19:19.240 --> 1:19:22.439 the early grading for Mamrius Mems this year. I think 1:19:22.479 --> 1:19:26.320 past blocking. Last week he got an eighteen that was 1:19:26.360 --> 1:19:30.800 supposed to be the cornerstone. Uh huh, Orlando Brown, Junior, 1:19:32.800 --> 1:19:37.760 Dylan Fairchild, Jerry still out? Yeah, Harris So I'm talking? 1:19:37.880 --> 1:19:43.160 Uh yeah, Ted Carris, Ted Carris, right, Like, are we 1:19:43.200 --> 1:19:45.519 really at the point where this team just misses Lucas Patrick? 1:19:46.400 --> 1:19:46.599 Well? 1:19:46.680 --> 1:19:51.600 But then again, defensively they didn't. They were atrocious defensively 1:19:51.680 --> 1:19:53.640 last year. Their additions included t. J. 1:19:53.800 --> 1:19:54.240 Slayton. 1:19:54.360 --> 1:19:58.320 Yeah, oron Burt's who I don't think ever plays and 1:19:58.360 --> 1:20:02.519 that's it. Run back with Joseph O'SAI draft some guys, 1:20:02.560 --> 1:20:04.679 and I think Demetrius Knight has a lot of upside. 1:20:04.680 --> 1:20:07.719 I'm still willing to entertain the idea that Jamar Stewart's 1:20:07.720 --> 1:20:09.840 going to be pretty good. I mean, like I I 1:20:10.640 --> 1:20:14.519 I make a rookie class exempt from this conversation. But 1:20:14.560 --> 1:20:17.200 players who have been there, two, three, four Again, the 1:20:17.360 --> 1:20:20.680 poster child for this is Cam Taylor Britt. And then 1:20:20.720 --> 1:20:23.519 you look at the last three draft classes. You look 1:20:23.560 --> 1:20:27.080 at the last four draft classes now and you see 1:20:27.120 --> 1:20:30.040 the number of just flat out whiffs or the number 1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:34.040 of players you look at and go moving forward, I 1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:35.200 don't want the guy here anymore. 1:20:35.320 --> 1:20:37.960 Yeah, and lay right. 1:20:38.479 --> 1:20:40.799 Jeraine Burton's gonna be an active today in all likelihood 1:20:41.040 --> 1:20:42.960 third round pick, right. 1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:45.559 Like Cam. 1:20:45.920 --> 1:20:48.320 I hate, I hate to pick on Cam Taylor Britt. 1:20:48.520 --> 1:20:51.160 But the reality is the last two years they have 1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:53.879 thought like that's that's one of our best defensive players 1:20:54.120 --> 1:20:57.360 CD one in many respects. Dude's been benched three times 1:20:57.400 --> 1:21:00.120 in less than a year. Yep, seventeen minutes half to 1:21:00.360 --> 1:21:03.080 one o'clock. One o'clock games are underway.

Jets and home. 1:21:15.680 --> 1:21:18.000 Up three nothing on the Cowboys midway through the first 1:21:18.320 --> 1:21:20.679 Dolphins on the road, up three nothing on the Panthers 1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:24.840 midway through the first quarter.

Let's go with Marius Mems today. 1:26:10.280 --> 1:26:11.439 Oh we have the same guy? 1:26:11.680 --> 1:26:14.519 Really, Yes, Well, it's everything I just I've mentioned before 1:26:15.439 --> 1:26:16.840 as great. Last week was awful. 1:26:16.920 --> 1:26:17.320 Uh huh. 1:26:17.360 --> 1:26:20.680 He's trending way in the wrong direction right now. And 1:26:20.880 --> 1:26:23.479 if you don't at least you start to look, Okay, 1:26:23.760 --> 1:26:26.160 what am I looking at going forward? If you don't 1:26:26.160 --> 1:26:28.479 see the improvement there, do we have to have the 1:26:28.520 --> 1:26:31.920 conversation again next year of you gotta get tackles, Mike, 1:26:32.120 --> 1:26:34.760 you gotta get another tackle, Mike gotta address center, gotta 1:26:34.800 --> 1:26:39.519 address guard like that was supposed to be the check 1:26:39.560 --> 1:26:42.080 mark man. We don't have to worry about right tackle now. 1:26:42.640 --> 1:26:44.960 If it doesn't get better, do you then have to 1:26:44.960 --> 1:26:45.840 worry about that again? 1:26:45.920 --> 1:26:47.840 Well, and you didn't mention the guy he's going to 1:26:47.880 --> 1:26:48.840 be trying to block today. 1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:49.400 Oh. 1:26:49.479 --> 1:26:51.280 Aiden Hutchinson, who. 1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:54.679 Leads the NFL in pressures, has four sacks and four games. 1:26:55.200 --> 1:26:58.360 Marius Mems gave up two last week. I was told 1:26:58.360 --> 1:27:01.599 by some of the tape bros. Tape wasn't that bad, dude, 1:27:01.640 --> 1:27:04.439 I trust my eyes. Mario's im stunk last week and 1:27:04.479 --> 1:27:06.880 look might have been a bad game, but like we 1:27:07.320 --> 1:27:10.200 do it differently with rookies, than we did twenty years ago. 1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:13.559 Right now here or two, especially for a first rounder, 1:27:14.000 --> 1:27:16.439 I gotta start to see it. He can't be a project. 1:27:16.520 --> 1:27:19.080 Marius Mimms did some really nice things his rookie season. 1:27:19.600 --> 1:27:21.080 By the end of this year, he's gonna be a 1:27:21.080 --> 1:27:23.439 building block. I don't think he's played like one yet. 1:27:23.479 --> 1:27:25.280 He's got to play himself into the If we have 1:27:25.400 --> 1:27:28.040 these conversations going forward, like, yeah, you can't go forward 1:27:28.040 --> 1:27:32.360 without Mems Right right now, I'm like, uh, I'll see. Maybe, 1:27:33.800 --> 1:27:34.280 I don't know. 1:27:34.880 --> 1:27:37.920 I think it's gonna be devastating to this franchise if 1:27:37.920 --> 1:27:39.280 he ends up not being very good. 1:27:39.439 --> 1:27:39.920 He might not. 1:27:40.120 --> 1:27:41.720 He doesn't have to play to the level of a 1:27:41.760 --> 1:27:44.559 first rounder to be very good. I don't think JOHNA. 1:27:44.560 --> 1:27:47.040 Williams ever played like a first rounder. But you were 1:27:47.080 --> 1:27:49.760 fine with him at whatever position he was at. But 1:27:49.800 --> 1:27:51.719 if you knew what you have, if you're ever gonna 1:27:51.760 --> 1:27:55.240 have any elite offensive line, an elite offensive line, the 1:27:55.240 --> 1:27:57.920 only way that happens is if you mainly build it 1:27:57.960 --> 1:27:58.679 through the draft. 1:27:59.160 --> 1:28:01.320 If you look at their last elite. 1:28:00.920 --> 1:28:03.840 Offensive line, it was twenty fifteen, and it was a 1:28:03.840 --> 1:28:05.080 bunch of guys they drafted. 1:28:05.520 --> 1:28:08.000 Yep, it was the way you build it. 1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:10.960 It was Andrew Whitworth, it was Andre Smith, it was 1:28:11.000 --> 1:28:12.719 Clint Bowling, it was Kevin Zeitler. 1:28:13.920 --> 1:28:14.240 Guys. 1:28:14.320 --> 1:28:16.719 But you drafted. That's the only way it happens. 1:28:16.920 --> 1:28:18.599 But it was so much more than just drafted. It 1:28:18.640 --> 1:28:21.400 was developing those guys after you draft them. Sure, we 1:28:21.479 --> 1:28:23.960 can't say how great a Marius Mims looked last year 1:28:23.960 --> 1:28:26.160 and now wonder how is he not developed more this year? 1:28:26.960 --> 1:28:29.080 You just fired another offensive line coach. You got a 1:28:29.080 --> 1:28:35.400 new one in strike technique, glass eater, strike technique, bad matchups. 1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:37.679 All these words is just what I continue to hear 1:28:37.720 --> 1:28:42.320 over and over and over again, and nothing changes strike technique. 1:28:43.720 --> 1:28:48.559 It's because they don't have an organizational identity, correct. So like, 1:28:49.080 --> 1:28:52.200 I'll bring it back to the Detroit Lions. I thought 1:28:52.240 --> 1:28:55.640 the brain drain was going to be real, losing two coordinators. 1:28:55.680 --> 1:28:58.240 I've seen how hard that is, you know. I think 1:28:58.280 --> 1:29:01.960 Marvin Lewis's best coaching job in twenty fourteen, where he 1:29:02.080 --> 1:29:04.720 won ten games and tied one and made the postseason 1:29:05.080 --> 1:29:08.360 a year after he lost both Mike Zimmer and Jay Gruden. 1:29:08.439 --> 1:29:11.360 Like it's hard, yes, to lose both, but there's an 1:29:11.439 --> 1:29:16.320 organizational identity there and good roster building, neither of which 1:29:16.360 --> 1:29:18.240 I think are the case here right now. 1:29:18.400 --> 1:29:22.080 We've asked, now for over a year, does the identity 1:29:22.080 --> 1:29:23.480 in the scheme match the personnel? 1:29:24.360 --> 1:29:27.280 So let's talk about that, because you've brought this up 1:29:27.280 --> 1:29:30.800 a bunch. The best illustration is the usage of two 1:29:30.840 --> 1:29:33.120 tight ends when you have T Higgins on. 1:29:33.080 --> 1:29:38.400 The team, which I assumed twelve personnel, one running back, 1:29:38.439 --> 1:29:41.639 two tight ends, two wide receivers, Jamar and T. Right 1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:45.400 when Zach was asked about it, his answer was, well, 1:29:45.400 --> 1:29:47.120 we'll find ways to get at the tea. But we've 1:29:47.120 --> 1:29:51.400 been running so much twelve personnel. Okay, he's still on 1:29:51.439 --> 1:29:56.000 the field. We watched training camp. T was into the boundary, 1:29:56.000 --> 1:29:57.479 he was in the field, he was in the slot, 1:29:57.520 --> 1:29:59.720 he was going in motion. Huh you seeing any of that. 1:30:01.120 --> 1:30:04.160 He talked about wanting to do that. He talked about 1:30:04.200 --> 1:30:06.000 wanting to move, He talked about wanting to be more 1:30:06.040 --> 1:30:09.000 than just someone that lines up and goes. You can 1:30:09.120 --> 1:30:13.519 have two good wide receivers and two tight ends on 1:30:13.520 --> 1:30:17.200 the field and everyone still gets theirs. So but the 1:30:17.240 --> 1:30:21.120 thing goes back to me, you paid T. Higgins, but 1:30:21.160 --> 1:30:23.280 you also say you want to be a twelve personnel team, 1:30:23.280 --> 1:30:26.240 and you can't do both. According to Zach Taylor, I 1:30:26.280 --> 1:30:29.360 don't understand that. I don't understand it. But when we 1:30:29.400 --> 1:30:33.760 talk more in depth about does the personnel match the scheme, well, 1:30:33.800 --> 1:30:35.560 it felt like early in the season they wanted to 1:30:35.600 --> 1:30:38.960 be a run team. None of their offensive linemen are 1:30:39.000 --> 1:30:41.960 plus run blockers. They're all negative run blockers. They were 1:30:42.000 --> 1:30:44.360 in college and they were in the NFL. So you 1:30:44.400 --> 1:30:45.720 want to run the ball, but you got no one 1:30:45.800 --> 1:30:48.240 up front that is a dominant run player and you 1:30:48.240 --> 1:30:51.280 don't have the ability to scheme away around it. The 1:30:51.680 --> 1:30:55.880 personnel is so backwards and on the team you played today, 1:30:56.640 --> 1:31:00.040 it couldn't be more different. Everything about Detroit's person and 1:31:00.200 --> 1:31:06.200 l matches everything over the top threat, dynamic running game, 1:31:07.040 --> 1:31:11.400 good old line, tight end a'm and Ross Brown to 1:31:11.439 --> 1:31:15.720 do it all, aggressive defense. But you also know their 1:31:15.760 --> 1:31:20.320 identity is going to be tough. Their roster matches their 1:31:20.360 --> 1:31:22.760 scheme perfectly, so it doesn't here. 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:26.519 When I think of identity, I think of you're not 1:31:26.640 --> 1:31:30.479 taking this away. You might get annoyed with me. Folks 1:31:30.479 --> 1:31:32.559 listening might get annoyed with me. I bring it back 1:31:32.560 --> 1:31:36.160 to the first game Jamar Chase and t Higgins in 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:39.400 that game combined for five catches for fifty nine yards 1:31:39.439 --> 1:31:43.360 against the Browns. Do you know any catches Justin Jefferson 1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:43.840 had today? 1:31:44.160 --> 1:31:45.559 I know he had over one hundred yards. 1:31:45.720 --> 1:31:48.160 Seven catches for one hundred and twenty three yards, including 1:31:48.200 --> 1:31:51.320 a couple on that last drive with the backup quarterback. 1:31:51.320 --> 1:31:55.400 Carson wentz. So to me, your identity is, you're not 1:31:55.520 --> 1:32:00.000 taking this away. The Cincinnati Bengals in that first game said, 1:32:00.080 --> 1:32:02.639 go watch it, because I think they completed one pass 1:32:02.680 --> 1:32:06.719 outside the numbers. I texted you about it. They said, Okay, 1:32:07.960 --> 1:32:08.919 you got good corners. 1:32:09.040 --> 1:32:09.400 Okay. 1:32:09.640 --> 1:32:13.599 And again that's with Joe Burrow playing quarterback. You know, Okay, 1:32:13.840 --> 1:32:15.439 I guess we'll have to figure out another way. The 1:32:15.479 --> 1:32:18.960 Minnesota Vikings, with a backup quarterback and all sorts of 1:32:19.000 --> 1:32:21.800 flaws on offense, said, hey man, you guys got a 1:32:21.800 --> 1:32:26.240 good defense. Yeah, you're not taking number eighteen away. Our 1:32:26.280 --> 1:32:29.280 guys getting the ball. They didn't have eighteen catches, but 1:32:29.400 --> 1:32:30.400 our guys getting the ball. 1:32:31.080 --> 1:32:32.200 You're not taking him away. 1:32:32.760 --> 1:32:37.000 To me, the Bengals, the identity is all right, Well, 1:32:37.439 --> 1:32:40.040 decide how you want to play us, and then and 1:32:40.080 --> 1:32:44.799 then we'll figure screw that man, we're we're in his heyday. 1:32:45.280 --> 1:32:46.120 Not so much now. 1:32:46.280 --> 1:32:49.240 You and I used to talk about Travis Kelson where 1:32:49.680 --> 1:32:53.080 the Kansas City Chiefs would have plays where everybody in 1:32:53.120 --> 1:32:56.280 the stadium knew where it was going everybody and it 1:32:56.320 --> 1:32:59.000 didn't matter, you know, when they had Tyreek Hill or 1:32:59.160 --> 1:32:59.719 who were their. 1:32:59.640 --> 1:33:00.960 Other wide receivers were. 1:33:01.240 --> 1:33:03.720 You could watch a Chiefs game and say, all right, 1:33:04.600 --> 1:33:07.559 third and five, he's throwing it to eighty seven. 1:33:08.439 --> 1:33:10.040 You know it, we know it. 1:33:10.439 --> 1:33:13.880 Everybody were thrown to eighty seven, and they figured out 1:33:13.880 --> 1:33:16.200 away they would get him open. He's a Hall of 1:33:16.200 --> 1:33:18.800 Fame player, but still they would figure out a way 1:33:18.880 --> 1:33:21.639 to keep you from taking away what we do best. 1:33:22.520 --> 1:33:24.880 The Bengals what they do best. In a game this 1:33:25.000 --> 1:33:26.559 year said to the Cleveland Browns, oh, you. 1:33:26.560 --> 1:33:28.720 Took it away. That's cool, yeah, and then had no. 1:33:28.720 --> 1:33:30.400 Answer because they stunk running the ball. 1:33:30.479 --> 1:33:32.960 That that's the thing, Like, you can't take something away 1:33:32.960 --> 1:33:35.200 and then not have an answer to it. We talked 1:33:35.200 --> 1:33:38.120 for how many weeks a couple of years ago about 1:33:38.120 --> 1:33:42.880 Tampa two. M Oh, well they running at Tampa too, 1:33:42.920 --> 1:33:44.599 and you would have thought it was the newest defense 1:33:44.600 --> 1:33:45.200 in the NFL. 1:33:45.400 --> 1:33:47.040 They'd running thirteen guys on the field. 1:33:47.080 --> 1:33:51.040 Yes, oh, Tampa two.

And then as it started to unfold, 1:40:42.680 --> 1:40:45.040 I'm like, all right, they're gonna they're gonna have to 1:40:45.080 --> 1:40:47.200 They're gonna do a long field goal attempt. And then 1:40:47.240 --> 1:40:48.240 they scored a touchdown. 1:40:48.479 --> 1:40:52.840 So I most probably don't need a refresher. 1:40:52.920 --> 1:40:56.240 But the end of the first half last week, the 1:40:56.280 --> 1:40:59.320 Broncos are driving, Demetrius Night makes a really nice play 1:40:59.320 --> 1:41:01.599 in the end zone, and if it's incomplete, the Bengals 1:41:01.600 --> 1:41:03.360 get the ball back at like the two, but instead 1:41:03.400 --> 1:41:06.240 it comes back out to the twenty minute forty five 1:41:06.320 --> 1:41:08.680 to go. I think two timeouts, Yes, minute forty five 1:41:08.720 --> 1:41:11.280 to go, two timeouts. You're down by eleven and I'm 1:41:11.320 --> 1:41:14.160 thinking get three here, let's go regroup. 1:41:14.280 --> 1:41:17.559 Down eight. Fine, best case, get a touchdown. 1:41:17.720 --> 1:41:19.960 You've played poorly, but you're in it. Down four. 1:41:20.920 --> 1:41:23.519 And the first thing that Zach Taylor does is he 1:41:23.600 --> 1:41:26.000 has his team run the ball in the first two plays. 1:41:25.800 --> 1:41:30.680 Because I've been dominant, not just the first down, but 1:41:30.760 --> 1:41:35.600 the first and second down. Run was the softest, softest 1:41:35.600 --> 1:41:39.800 thing I can remember, soft and stupid. Yes, go for it. 1:41:39.880 --> 1:41:40.759 What do you have to lose? 1:41:41.400 --> 1:41:43.719 Two minute offense? Run the ball twice. 1:41:43.880 --> 1:41:48.439 Normally in those situations, defense stays back a little bit. Yeah, 1:41:48.520 --> 1:41:50.160 doesn't want to give up the big play. Maybe you 1:41:50.160 --> 1:41:54.840 can find some easy completions for Jake Browning. Nah, we'll 1:41:54.840 --> 1:41:58.280 go run, run, I mean it is Sean Bayton had 1:41:58.280 --> 1:41:59.360 to be thinking, like what. 1:41:59.520 --> 1:42:02.360 Barring like a turnover in your own end. To go 1:42:02.400 --> 1:42:05.719 from fourteen three to twenty one to three is really 1:42:05.760 --> 1:42:09.280 mathematically hard to do. And the Bengals offensively and defensively 1:42:09.760 --> 1:42:10.519 figured out a way. 1:42:10.600 --> 1:42:15.599 Yeah. It made at the end of the half, no 1:42:15.680 --> 1:42:16.479 other way around it. 1:42:16.520 --> 1:42:18.840 So you and I were the pregame show on Monday 1:42:18.920 --> 1:42:20.960 night and I was talking to you about how when 1:42:21.000 --> 1:42:23.840 you do a deep dive into Denver one of their 1:42:23.880 --> 1:42:26.920 deficiencies is if you throw the ball to your running back, 1:42:26.960 --> 1:42:28.800 they give up a lot of yards the most amount 1:42:28.840 --> 1:42:32.400 of explosive plays allowed to opposing running backs when they 1:42:32.439 --> 1:42:35.840 catch a pass. At the end of the third quarter, 1:42:35.920 --> 1:42:40.080 Chase Brown had one reception that didn't make any sense. So, 1:42:41.280 --> 1:42:43.920 but I think back to Jake Browning in twenty twenty three. 1:42:44.000 --> 1:42:48.439 They took it away. They used took it away, good game. 1:42:48.600 --> 1:42:50.920 The Bengals used a screen game. We talked about it. 1:42:50.960 --> 1:42:52.760 Then the Bengal's going to screen pass their way to 1:42:52.800 --> 1:42:56.599 the postseason, right, Joe Mixon, Chase Brown, where's the screen 1:42:56.640 --> 1:42:59.240 game been? And then the other thing they did well 1:42:59.280 --> 1:43:01.360 is run the football. Now, they haven't run the football 1:43:01.400 --> 1:43:04.519 well in years. So let me start there. That screen 1:43:04.560 --> 1:43:06.719 game that they used two years ago with Jake Browning 1:43:07.000 --> 1:43:08.280 has totally evaporated. 1:43:08.320 --> 1:43:11.479 No idea. Why why no idea? Now? The lack of 1:43:12.479 --> 1:43:17.320 big playability in the past game hurts. The inability of 1:43:17.360 --> 1:43:21.000 them to run the ball hurts because teams just don't 1:43:21.040 --> 1:43:23.560 respect it as much. You know, deep pass game. You 1:43:23.600 --> 1:43:26.440 want to get to the quarterback run game. You're respecting 1:43:26.479 --> 1:43:28.679 that they don't have play action. All of that goes 1:43:28.680 --> 1:43:32.479 into it. But oftentimes when teams can't run the ball, 1:43:32.640 --> 1:43:34.800 they use screen game to be an extension of running game. 1:43:34.960 --> 1:43:37.559 Doesn't have to be fifty yards? Can it get you six? 1:43:38.160 --> 1:43:41.200 To get you the second four? Like those things this 1:43:41.280 --> 1:43:48.599 team just doesn't do. Maybe because they're so analytically driven. 1:43:49.240 --> 1:43:51.720 They saw those numbers and they thought Denver would really 1:43:51.720 --> 1:43:53.280 focus on that, so they didn't want to put it 1:43:53.280 --> 1:43:57.200 out there. It's just that's just a chess match between 1:43:57.280 --> 1:44:00.280 Zach Taylor and Sean Payton. Take it away, don't. I 1:44:00.280 --> 1:44:03.800 don't have an answer to it, Especially like you and 1:44:03.840 --> 1:44:08.519 I talked about t Higgins slot boundary field motion, they 1:44:08.520 --> 1:44:11.400 don't do it. We also watched every day Chase Brown 1:44:11.439 --> 1:44:13.680 go out with the receivers and catch passes. Uh huh, 1:44:13.840 --> 1:44:16.120 talk about all in the offseason. All he did right 1:44:16.400 --> 1:44:17.880 was make sure he could be a three down back 1:44:17.920 --> 1:44:19.720 and be used in the passing game run routes. I 1:44:19.720 --> 1:44:23.280 haven't seen that either. Nothing every story we talked about 1:44:23.320 --> 1:44:28.880 at camp has disappeared. Usage for tea Chase Brown in 1:44:28.880 --> 1:44:32.000 the passing game, moving Jamar Chase all the way around 1:44:32.040 --> 1:44:33.960 the field gone. 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.800 But one thing has remained, and it's the other part 1:44:36.840 --> 1:44:39.880 of what I want to know about this offense. Two 1:44:40.000 --> 1:44:43.560 years ago, Jake Browning, they ran the ball pretty effectively. 1:44:43.840 --> 1:44:47.400 They put Jake under center, they did some schematic things, 1:44:47.800 --> 1:44:51.200 they ran it more effectively. Yeah, this team is atrocious 1:44:51.200 --> 1:44:54.120 at running the football right now. The one thing we 1:44:54.200 --> 1:44:58.080 discussed during training camp was this offensive line. They're gonna 1:44:58.080 --> 1:45:01.479 add Lucas Patrick and then Elton Riisener. Well, they're good 1:45:01.520 --> 1:45:06.080 pass protectors, not great run blockers. Yeah, so we watch 1:45:06.120 --> 1:45:08.000 the Bengals. No, not great, atrocious. 1:45:08.120 --> 1:45:08.840 Yeah, Like we. 1:45:08.800 --> 1:45:10.680 Watch the Bengals now and go. They have to run 1:45:10.760 --> 1:45:15.400 the ball more effectively. Is there a scheme that anybody 1:45:15.439 --> 1:45:18.519 has ever invented that allows you to run the ball 1:45:18.560 --> 1:45:22.679 more effectively when your offensive linemen are bad run blockers. 1:45:22.720 --> 1:45:26.040 Not ideally, but you have to find ways to extend 1:45:26.120 --> 1:45:29.160 your running game. That would be screens, that would be 1:45:29.240 --> 1:45:32.880 jet motions, that would be misdirections, fake one way toss 1:45:32.920 --> 1:45:37.280 the like Detroit. At least five times this year I've 1:45:37.320 --> 1:45:41.400 seen them fake movement left. Running back takes a step 1:45:41.520 --> 1:45:43.160 left and then they pitch it back to the right 1:45:44.200 --> 1:45:48.439 outflank the defense. Just anything and everything to give a 1:45:48.520 --> 1:45:50.760 defense a little bit more of a look or add 1:45:50.800 --> 1:45:54.160 a little bit more flair onto the running game they 1:45:54.200 --> 1:45:55.519 for whatever reason, do not do. 1:45:56.640 --> 1:46:01.639 So I don't know how that changes. Yeah, I don't 1:46:01.720 --> 1:46:03.760 know how. Like you can, you can can? 1:46:03.800 --> 1:46:07.080 You're not just gonna decide like, oh, I'm gonna schematically dominate. Now. 1:46:07.160 --> 1:46:09.679 You can convince me Jake Browning is gonna play better 1:46:09.680 --> 1:46:12.879 than he has. Fine, you can convince me that eventually 1:46:12.880 --> 1:46:15.479 he's gonna find connections to Chase and Higgins that help 1:46:15.560 --> 1:46:16.200 this offense. 1:46:16.720 --> 1:46:17.040 Fine. 1:46:17.600 --> 1:46:20.720 What you can convince me of is understanding they have 1:46:20.760 --> 1:46:23.400 to run the ball more effectively with this quarterback, that 1:46:23.560 --> 1:46:26.439 suddenly they'll be able to yep, when they haven't been 1:46:26.439 --> 1:46:28.920 able to do so far this season and consistently at 1:46:29.000 --> 1:46:30.760 least haven't been able to in a while. 1:46:30.960 --> 1:46:33.920 But that, to me is the demoralizing part when you 1:46:33.960 --> 1:46:37.240 talk about thirteen more games, Yeah, how does it get better? 1:46:37.680 --> 1:46:40.160 That's that's to me is why at the start of 1:46:40.160 --> 1:46:43.000 the show today we had the conversation of I can't 1:46:43.040 --> 1:46:46.679 find the path that they win because I've not seen 1:46:46.720 --> 1:46:49.800 the ability of Zach Taylor, especially without Joe Burrow, to 1:46:49.880 --> 1:46:53.559 outscheme or out coach somebody. They don't have the better roster. 1:46:54.360 --> 1:46:56.519 They don't have the better players now, don't have the 1:46:56.520 --> 1:46:59.160 better quarterback, don't have a better quarterback. The only way 1:46:59.200 --> 1:47:02.559 you win by out scheming that guy on the other sideline. 1:47:03.240 --> 1:47:05.920 It's what Shanahan did to McVeigh on Thursday night. Mm hm, 1:47:06.600 --> 1:47:08.720 Like that's what it is. What Kevin O'Connell does to 1:47:08.720 --> 1:47:12.800 any quarterback he brings in starter or backup. I've not 1:47:12.960 --> 1:47:17.360 seen that from Zach, which then makes me cautious to say, oh, yeah, 1:47:17.439 --> 1:47:19.200 let's find an avenue for them to win, because we've 1:47:19.200 --> 1:47:19.680 not seen it. 1:47:20.680 --> 1:47:22.720 I mean, the way they win today is for the 1:47:22.760 --> 1:47:25.240 Lions to do what the Bengals did to the Vikings 1:47:25.240 --> 1:47:28.679 two weeks ago. And that's yeah, that's hand them short fields, 1:47:28.680 --> 1:47:32.960 hand them scores, hand them the football. Like is there 1:47:33.000 --> 1:47:36.040 a way, Sure, but you can't. You can't scheme for 1:47:36.080 --> 1:47:38.519 those things, right right. You can hope they happen to 1:47:38.560 --> 1:47:40.439 you it defensively, yeah, I mean you could. You can 1:47:40.479 --> 1:47:43.360 figure out ways to force quarterbacks into making mistakes and 1:47:43.640 --> 1:47:46.559 punch the ball out and stuff like that. But the plan, 1:47:46.840 --> 1:47:50.400 like in a game like this where there is a 1:47:50.439 --> 1:47:54.439 disparity between the rosters, you either need your quarterback to 1:47:54.439 --> 1:47:57.200 play out of his mind good or coaching or or 1:47:57.280 --> 1:48:00.160 supreme coaching. And I just I don't believe that with 1:48:00.240 --> 1:48:02.800 this roster, this coaching staff can do that great. 1:48:03.439 --> 1:48:05.920 And I hate saying that in October. That is because 1:48:05.920 --> 1:48:07.559 we're gonna say the same thing next week. 1:48:07.479 --> 1:48:11.559 Yep, and the week after against Pittsburgh. Yeah. Short week. 1:48:12.040 --> 1:48:14.799 Oh yeah, short week, short week, it's hard, good defense. 1:48:15.920 --> 1:48:17.960 Well they use this week's a short week too. 1:48:18.520 --> 1:48:18.720 Yeah. 1:48:18.800 --> 1:48:19.639 They run the road. 1:48:19.920 --> 1:48:22.240 Yeah, you know, I got that called middle of the night. 1:48:22.400 --> 1:48:25.719 It's hard four twenty Yeah, oh yeah, it's not normal 1:48:26.000 --> 1:48:27.920 on a normal routine. They've had the schedules thrown a 1:48:27.920 --> 1:48:30.000 lot of making the play games on the road and it. 1:48:30.640 --> 1:48:33.320 Yeah, but all those things are why I am most 1:48:33.400 --> 1:48:36.960 worried about how the team reacts if things go poorly today, right, 1:48:37.200 --> 1:48:40.800 because those players probably realize too, we're not we're not 1:48:40.840 --> 1:48:41.839 out scheming anybody. 1:48:42.680 --> 1:48:44.880 Well, that's like you're talking about, like the confidence level 1:48:44.880 --> 1:48:48.640 the players having, Jake brown yeat, what confidence level do 1:48:48.720 --> 1:48:50.560 you have in the coaching staff putting you in the 1:48:50.640 --> 1:48:52.920 right position to succeed individually and. 1:48:52.840 --> 1:48:53.360 As a team? 1:48:53.439 --> 1:48:55.160 Correct, just go be great. 1:48:56.760 --> 1:48:57.559 The foundation of. 1:48:57.560 --> 1:49:00.479 The entire franchisees have Joe Burrow carry it, and now 1:49:00.520 --> 1:49:02.640 he's not here, and it crumbles, and it's crumbled the 1:49:02.680 --> 1:49:03.200 last two weeks. 1:49:03.240 --> 1:49:03.600 What do you do? 1:49:04.600 --> 1:49:07.400 Quarter to two, we are broadcasting from the Holy Grail 1:49:07.520 --> 1:49:11.880 downtown Cincinnati.

If you're injured called eight four or 1:55:39.280 --> 1:55:44.800 four Postman others promise, Postman delivers. H Noah Fan is 1:55:44.920 --> 1:55:47.360 out of the concussion protocol, so he is going to 1:55:47.400 --> 1:55:49.640 be good to go today. Shamar Stewart is gonna sit 1:55:49.720 --> 1:55:53.520 yet again. We will get the inactives. I guess a 1:55:53.520 --> 1:55:56.720 little bit before three o'clock. We'll see if Charlie Jones 1:55:56.800 --> 1:55:59.120 is good to go, dealt with an achilles issue all week. 1:55:59.160 --> 1:56:02.280 I guess, if not, maybe Jermaine Burton to be active. 1:56:02.280 --> 1:56:04.760 Do you imagine if Jones doesn't go and Burton is 1:56:04.800 --> 1:56:09.440 not active, Burton who struggled to make a meeting on 1:56:09.480 --> 1:56:15.960 time last week? You know what else? 1:56:16.040 --> 1:56:17.400 What else can you say about that. 1:56:17.440 --> 1:56:23.040 Dude's I don't know it. Not only that Shamar Stewart's 1:56:23.040 --> 1:56:27.720 out again. Yes, how bad is that ankle injury? Yeah? 1:56:27.800 --> 1:56:29.840 I would like to see, you know, what he can 1:56:29.880 --> 1:56:32.520 do for this team, what he can potentially do for 1:56:32.560 --> 1:56:38.760 this defense. Right, he's not available. It's it's been bad 1:56:39.160 --> 1:56:39.800 to this point. 1:56:39.920 --> 1:56:44.040 So Shamar Stewart edge rusher, Trey Hendrickson edge rusher. 1:56:44.560 --> 1:56:47.840 Look, the more this goes. 1:56:49.440 --> 1:56:52.920 And and the more it unravels, the more you're gonna 1:56:52.920 --> 1:56:55.520 hear people suggest it's time to hit the reset button. 1:56:56.320 --> 1:56:58.360 And to me, the very first thing you do is 1:56:58.840 --> 1:56:59.960 you move on from Trey Hendrick. 1:57:00.400 --> 1:57:00.600 Yep. 1:57:00.840 --> 1:57:02.680 But the Bengals do have in their back pocket. 1:57:02.720 --> 1:57:04.840 I guess they can franchise tag him for next year, 1:57:05.520 --> 1:57:07.760 but they haven't had him in their twenty twenty six 1:57:07.840 --> 1:57:08.880 plans from the jump. 1:57:09.680 --> 1:57:11.280 And so like. 1:57:13.240 --> 1:57:19.360 The trade deadline is still weeks away, it's becoming the 1:57:20.000 --> 1:57:23.600 worst this gets. It's becoming to me increasingly not feasible 1:57:23.680 --> 1:57:26.320 to think about him finishing his season in Cincinnati. 1:57:26.560 --> 1:57:29.880 And the problem you'll have is once you decide to 1:57:29.920 --> 1:57:33.320 do that, you will officially signify to the locker room 1:57:33.360 --> 1:57:36.280 that you're done on this year. Uh huh. So that's 1:57:36.280 --> 1:57:40.960 a slippery slope because again, you've got thirteen games remaining. 1:57:41.000 --> 1:57:42.960 But like, how many of those dudes do you care about? 1:57:43.320 --> 1:57:46.600 Right? I mean, that's the counter to it. So it 1:57:46.680 --> 1:57:50.440 is right now. It is dysfunction at a lot of 1:57:50.480 --> 1:57:55.400 different levels. And it's one thing losing. It's another thing 1:57:55.440 --> 1:57:58.600 losing the way in which they have because of the 1:57:58.640 --> 1:58:01.480 locker room culture. And then when you add into that 1:58:01.560 --> 1:58:05.000 culture and you say, all right, we're gonna go ahead 1:58:05.000 --> 1:58:07.720 and move on from Trey, now you're saying to that culture, 1:58:08.160 --> 1:58:10.120 we still need you to fight and buy in, but 1:58:10.200 --> 1:58:11.680 we're not really buying in. Sure. 1:58:12.160 --> 1:58:14.600 But there's a long list of teams that have traded 1:58:14.600 --> 1:58:16.840 away a good player at the trade deadline, and like, 1:58:17.200 --> 1:58:19.440 to me, the message in the locker room is we're 1:58:19.440 --> 1:58:20.120 not good enough. 1:58:20.560 --> 1:58:22.520 We're not good enough, You're not good enough. 1:58:22.320 --> 1:58:24.400 And so we're gonna move on and do what's best 1:58:24.440 --> 1:58:26.800 for our for whatever's next for us. 1:58:26.920 --> 1:58:30.720 How far is this team from competing, if Joe Burrow. 1:58:30.560 --> 1:58:34.280 Is healthy, competing for a championship? Yes, I think a 1:58:34.320 --> 1:58:38.240 fair away. Like here's the thing. When the season started, 1:58:38.520 --> 1:58:41.680 we talked about the Bengals being playoff hopefuls. I don't 1:58:41.680 --> 1:58:44.200 think many of us viewed this team through the lens 1:58:44.240 --> 1:58:48.880 of Super Bowl hopeful or hey, they're in the upper 1:58:48.960 --> 1:58:51.440 crust of teams in the league that you legitimately talk 1:58:51.480 --> 1:58:54.280 about as having a chance to win the title. I 1:58:54.320 --> 1:58:59.040 don't think they were being framed as championship contenders when 1:58:59.040 --> 1:59:02.000 the season started, do you No. 1:59:02.360 --> 1:59:06.680 I thought if things fell in place and the offense 1:59:06.800 --> 1:59:08.920 was as good as they were last year and Al 1:59:08.960 --> 1:59:10.640 Golden could be middle of the pack, then they had 1:59:10.640 --> 1:59:14.040 a chance. But what we've seen, how can you watch 1:59:14.080 --> 1:59:17.000 this defense, even if Burrow's out there, and think that 1:59:17.080 --> 1:59:21.640 they are viable contenders in anything? Right? 1:59:22.760 --> 1:59:26.320 Nico Collins with a touchdown grab from CJ. Stroud to 1:59:26.400 --> 1:59:30.440 put the Texans of sixteen to three over Baltimore with 1:59:30.480 --> 1:59:33.480 the pat pending five thirty six to go in that one. 1:59:33.760 --> 1:59:37.480 But that's it, Like before the season started, go back 1:59:37.480 --> 1:59:40.360 to last year. Joe Burrow was amazing last season? 1:59:40.440 --> 1:59:41.040 Yeah, right? 1:59:41.480 --> 1:59:45.160 Like that is that is arguably the greatest statistical single 1:59:45.240 --> 1:59:49.040 season performance by any quarterback. Pat is good seventeen to 1:59:49.040 --> 1:59:54.320 three Texans, the greatest single season statistically of any Bengals 1:59:54.440 --> 1:59:56.160 quarterback in the history of the franchise. 1:59:56.560 --> 1:59:57.960 Yeah, and you were still. 1:59:57.760 --> 2:00:00.280 Four and eight at one point, outside looking on the 2:00:00.320 --> 2:00:02.280 outside looking in when the playoffs got here. 2:00:02.880 --> 2:00:04.640 What do they do to the roster this offseason? 2:00:05.120 --> 2:00:05.720 Not a lot. 2:00:06.240 --> 2:00:09.200 So to me, the expectations coming into the year was 2:00:09.360 --> 2:00:12.040 all right, It's hard to imagine them not making the 2:00:12.080 --> 2:00:15.040 playoffs if Joe is great again. But the roster was 2:00:15.120 --> 2:00:18.040 so bad last year that you couldn't make the postseason 2:00:18.360 --> 2:00:21.320 despite Joe Burrow being great. So why should I talk 2:00:21.320 --> 2:00:23.080 about it in championship terms this year? 2:00:23.200 --> 2:00:26.520 Correct? Just this roster is not good yep. 2:00:27.040 --> 2:00:29.800 Joe Burrow is awesome, so as much as Zach Taylor 2:00:29.840 --> 2:00:30.520 does get the heat. 2:00:30.560 --> 2:00:33.160 Like we said earlier, Duke Cowman's got to answer to 2:00:33.200 --> 2:00:37.040 that as well, right, because the roster construction. 2:00:36.560 --> 2:00:39.240 Is him so like, all right, the message sent to 2:00:39.280 --> 2:00:42.320 the roster if they trade Trey Hendrickson, you know, maybe 2:00:42.320 --> 2:00:45.320 guys will quit. Honestly, me, as a fan, I've quit 2:00:45.400 --> 2:00:47.760 some of those guys because I think the next time 2:00:47.800 --> 2:00:52.000 the Bengals are in championship contention mode, pretty much none 2:00:52.040 --> 2:00:54.400 of these dudes are gonna be here, minus a handful 2:00:54.440 --> 2:00:55.120 of exceptions. 2:00:55.200 --> 2:00:59.440 Yep. And how how do you have the confidence, mo, 2:01:00.080 --> 2:01:02.760 if you've got to to rebuild it, that they're gonna 2:01:02.760 --> 2:01:03.959 rebuild it with the right guys. 2:01:04.200 --> 2:01:05.800 That's the thing that's the issue for me. 2:01:05.880 --> 2:01:08.360 Like, right, it's one thing to say, Okay, yes, move 2:01:08.400 --> 2:01:11.960 on from Trey, get some assets. Do I have confidence 2:01:12.000 --> 2:01:13.680 that they're gonna use those assets properly? 2:01:13.800 --> 2:01:13.880 No? 2:01:14.960 --> 2:01:20.960 Again, watch Religis today. You passed on him, passed on 2:01:21.040 --> 2:01:28.160 that guy. I just it's been miss after miss after miss, 2:01:28.240 --> 2:01:30.240 and we're just hoping and expecting that it's gonna be 2:01:30.240 --> 2:01:31.120 different the next time. 2:01:31.760 --> 2:01:35.760 I mean, I can, I can, really, I can really 2:01:35.760 --> 2:01:38.400 depress you and just read the number of picks over 2:01:38.440 --> 2:01:42.920 the last five years that just haven't worked out. Now, 2:01:43.160 --> 2:01:45.920 you know, twenty twenty one, they got Jamar Chase, right, 2:01:45.960 --> 2:01:49.280 they got Evan McPherson. Right, here are the picks in between, Jackson, Carmen, 2:01:49.640 --> 2:01:54.240 Joseph Osai, Cam Sample, Tyler, Shelvon, Deontay Smith, like any 2:01:54.280 --> 2:01:54.920 of those players. 2:01:55.000 --> 2:01:55.360 Nope. 2:01:55.840 --> 2:01:59.320 Twenty twenty two, Dax Hill, don't know, Cam Taylor, Britt, 2:01:59.360 --> 2:02:03.440 don't know, Carter not here, Cordell Vohlsen Nope, Tyson Anderson, 2:02:03.520 --> 2:02:08.080 Uh huh. You know, it's like an entire class twenty 2:02:08.120 --> 2:02:12.040 twenty three, Miles Murphy Nope, DJ Turner don't know, Jordan Battle, 2:02:12.080 --> 2:02:15.880 don't know, Charlie Jones okay, Chase Brown thinks so, Andrey 2:02:15.960 --> 2:02:17.120 yoshavas fine. 2:02:17.520 --> 2:02:20.240 Brad Robbins hell, that guy lasted a year. They cut him. 2:02:20.680 --> 2:02:24.280 Twenty twenty four draft class, Amarius Mims jury still out, 2:02:24.360 --> 2:02:27.680 Chris Jenkins like him, Dramane Burton never plays, McKinley Jackson 2:02:27.720 --> 2:02:31.080 never plays, Eric Halls always hurt, Josh Newton, don't know, 2:02:31.200 --> 2:02:34.640 Tanna McLaughlin not here like. And I won't even do 2:02:34.720 --> 2:02:36.960 twenty twenty five because it's not fair. But I just 2:02:37.000 --> 2:02:39.600 gave you four draft classes worth of guys that have 2:02:39.720 --> 2:02:41.200 yielded almost nothing. 2:02:43.560 --> 2:02:47.120 That's how you build teams like you are going to 2:02:47.160 --> 2:02:50.400 have to make eventual trades and moves, yes, but you're 2:02:50.440 --> 2:02:52.560 gonna build teams to have success through the draft, and 2:02:52.600 --> 2:02:55.240 then when you do draft those guys, MO, you better 2:02:55.280 --> 2:02:58.000 develop them. And they've not done any of that here 2:02:58.000 --> 2:02:58.760 in Cincinnati, not. 2:02:59.200 --> 2:03:01.600 Even close, not even remotely close. 2:03:01.720 --> 2:03:05.240 Developed Joe great, So that's the thing, Like they developed Jamar. 2:03:07.080 --> 2:03:08.960 I believe they got Joe up to speed that first 2:03:09.040 --> 2:03:11.040 year without preseason, but no, I mean. 2:03:13.240 --> 2:03:15.160 Drafting Joe Burrow was obvious. 2:03:15.440 --> 2:03:18.400 Drafting Jamar Chase might not have been obvious because the 2:03:18.480 --> 2:03:20.760 Lions have a guy who would have something to say 2:03:20.760 --> 2:03:24.760 about that in pinay Seool. But all right, were you 2:03:24.880 --> 2:03:27.560 make your where you build your roster? And to me, 2:03:27.640 --> 2:03:30.960 were you were you establish your reputation? We got the 2:03:30.960 --> 2:03:34.480 best server in the building here, Matt.

Duke Tobin hasn't made enough 2:03:43.800 --> 2:03:46.720 good ones. It's two o'clock news time.

Everyone 2:04:47.520 --> 2:04:50.760 is talking in a positive manner, but we waste and 2:04:50.880 --> 2:04:54.000 see how much they're ready to compromise and how much 2:04:54.000 --> 2:04:55.040 they're ready to agree. 2:04:55.400 --> 2:04:58.480 President Trump is optimistic about these talks as he heads 2:04:58.520 --> 2:05:02.760 to a Navy celebration today in Virginia.

A new study finds a greater health 2:06:41.000 --> 2:06:43.240 risk for developing kidney stones. 2:06:43.640 --> 2:06:46.280 That's according to new research published in the journal Mayo 2:06:46.360 --> 2:06:50.240 Clinic Proceedings.

It's just something 2:12:30.600 --> 2:12:32.200 like cause you're like, what are you gonna say to 2:12:32.240 --> 2:12:36.560 me right, like we're better?

You did it in Denver. 2:12:40.680 --> 2:12:43.880 I did it in Denver and those fans were nice. 2:12:43.920 --> 2:12:46.160 That stadium was awesome, the in and out. They have 2:12:46.240 --> 2:12:48.040 light rail, which is cool as hell. Like it was 2:12:48.120 --> 2:12:52.840 neat walking out of the stadium. Nobody like people felt 2:12:52.880 --> 2:12:53.360 bad for us. 2:12:53.560 --> 2:12:55.160 It was just like, hey man, you have to go 2:12:55.200 --> 2:12:56.120 home and watch that more. 2:12:56.360 --> 2:12:59.920 Like wow. In large part for me, it's what made 2:13:00.160 --> 2:13:01.720 nine the Pittsburgh game better. 2:13:02.200 --> 2:13:04.760 Oh yeah, the fact that it was on the road. Yeah, 2:13:04.800 --> 2:13:05.880 like that makes it. 2:13:05.880 --> 2:13:09.080 So much better. And to be a fan and if 2:13:09.120 --> 2:13:11.200 the fans aren't giving you crap throughout the game, you 2:13:11.280 --> 2:13:14.240 get like the last trump card like yep, yep, sorry, 2:13:14.640 --> 2:13:16.200 I'm gonna take this win back with me. 2:13:16.640 --> 2:13:18.960 Well, especially because in the second half all the UC 2:13:19.160 --> 2:13:21.880 fans who had shown up that day had left. 2:13:22.000 --> 2:13:24.680 Yeah, I love the fos, including family and friends. 2:13:24.720 --> 2:13:26.360 Yeah, the folks who tell you they were there, and 2:13:26.400 --> 2:13:27.880 it's like, oh, yeah, were you there. 2:13:27.920 --> 2:13:31.600 In the third quarter, you know, it started to snow. 2:13:31.600 --> 2:13:34.840 Like you nah, baby, no countown to kickoff coming up 2:13:34.880 --> 2:13:35.720 at three o'clock. 2:13:35.800 --> 2:13:38.160 Dan and Lap half the game four to twenty five. 2:13:38.320 --> 2:13:43.480 Right here, ESPN fifteen thirty and seven hundred WLW. The 2:13:44.120 --> 2:13:47.400 game's happening right now. Baltimore is losing at home seventeen 2:13:47.440 --> 2:13:51.080 to three to the Texans, and Houston has the ball. 2:13:50.320 --> 2:13:52.360 At midfield at the two minute warning. 2:13:52.480 --> 2:13:56.120 Two minute warning, and Charlotte Dolphins up seventeen to seven 2:13:56.160 --> 2:13:59.280 on the Panthers. Eagles five minutes to go in the 2:13:59.280 --> 2:14:02.400 first half, lead the Broncos by a score of ten 2:14:02.440 --> 2:14:05.200 to three. Cowboys up ten to three, they have the 2:14:05.240 --> 2:14:08.120 football deep in their own territory to eighteen to go 2:14:08.160 --> 2:14:10.400 in the first half. Dallas up seven on New York 2:14:10.440 --> 2:14:12.800 ten to three the other New York team. How many 2:14:12.840 --> 2:14:15.000 times have the Giants and Jets played at the exact 2:14:15.000 --> 2:14:15.480 same time? 2:14:15.920 --> 2:14:17.480 I feel like they do one at one and one 2:14:17.520 --> 2:14:17.880 at four. 2:14:18.080 --> 2:14:18.680 Yeah. 2:14:18.720 --> 2:14:20.840 The Giants up fourteen thirteen on the Saints. 2:14:20.880 --> 2:14:23.360 That game is in New Orleans, less than three minutes 2:14:23.400 --> 2:14:26.960 to go before halftime and lou and Rumo's Colts up 2:14:27.000 --> 2:14:30.480 fourteen to three on the Raiders at home with just 2:14:30.560 --> 2:14:32.560 under two minutes to go in the first half. 2:14:32.600 --> 2:14:34.840 In that one, Here's what I want you to do. 2:14:36.320 --> 2:14:40.160 You on Tuesday morning did a series of breakdowns on 2:14:40.200 --> 2:14:44.640 social media using the all twenty two of six different 2:14:44.680 --> 2:14:48.800 plays where you pointed out some of Jake Browning's deficiencies. 2:14:49.560 --> 2:14:53.520 Obviously this is an audio medium, but I want you 2:14:53.560 --> 2:14:55.920 that if you can walk through the things you saw 2:14:56.000 --> 2:14:59.040 when watching critically that Jake did poorly and tell me 2:14:59.520 --> 2:15:02.000 how many one of those things he legitimately can do 2:15:02.120 --> 2:15:02.720 better today. 2:15:03.520 --> 2:15:07.320 I think it starts decision making. Their first drive of 2:15:07.360 --> 2:15:10.800 the game was I thought, very good, minus them kicking 2:15:10.800 --> 2:15:13.520 the field going fourth and two right. But on third 2:15:13.520 --> 2:15:17.000 and two you get the exact look you want. And 2:15:17.040 --> 2:15:19.360 I know, like t Higgins had one on one coverage 2:15:19.760 --> 2:15:22.160 and that's a matchup you like because of his size. 2:15:22.520 --> 2:15:25.160 But on the same play, you had Chase Brown in 2:15:25.200 --> 2:15:26.520 the middle of the field one on one with a 2:15:26.560 --> 2:15:29.600 linebacker and it wasn't at this guy's coverage. You knew 2:15:30.200 --> 2:15:32.160 you had Chase Brown one on one with a linebacker 2:15:32.200 --> 2:15:36.600 on a choice route Chase brown won easily. Jake Browning 2:15:36.880 --> 2:15:39.840 took the ball and threw it six yards out of bounds. One, 2:15:40.280 --> 2:15:42.400 if you're gonna throw to t Higgins, you got to 2:15:42.400 --> 2:15:44.640 give him a chance to catch the ball. Right. Two, 2:15:45.600 --> 2:15:48.400 you're calling that play with your running back knowing that 2:15:48.440 --> 2:15:50.360 if you get one on one, the ball goes there. 2:15:51.040 --> 2:15:55.360 Miss that. Opportunities that were thrown down the field oftentimes 2:15:55.360 --> 2:15:58.320 were uncatchable. You've got to give your guy a chance 2:15:58.360 --> 2:15:59.000 to make a catch. 2:15:59.400 --> 2:15:59.600 Right. 2:16:00.080 --> 2:16:05.200 They used Jamar Chase in motion on a third down 2:16:04.920 --> 2:16:08.560 and got the look you wanted. The secondary is communicating, 2:16:08.560 --> 2:16:11.560 they're passing things off. Jamar Chase fits into a window 2:16:11.600 --> 2:16:14.960 six yards down the field. Jake Brownan didn't even look there. 2:16:16.240 --> 2:16:21.680 It's opportunity after opportunity missed. They had a rollout again, 2:16:22.600 --> 2:16:26.760 unique situation where they load the right side of the field. 2:16:27.320 --> 2:16:30.080 Mitchell Tinsley, of all people, goes in motion and you 2:16:30.160 --> 2:16:34.480 get a half rollout left. Tinsley's open, Jamar Chase is 2:16:34.520 --> 2:16:38.199 wide open. Jake Browning lazily flips his hips and throws 2:16:38.240 --> 2:16:42.720 the ball uncatchable. Like you only get a certain opportunity 2:16:43.520 --> 2:16:47.440 with looks in the NFL. Right and every opportunity that 2:16:47.560 --> 2:16:50.920 was advantageous for Jake Browning to the Bengals. He either 2:16:50.959 --> 2:16:54.040 missed the throw or missed the read. And as much 2:16:54.080 --> 2:16:56.920 as we want to harp on Zach Taylor, you've got 2:16:56.920 --> 2:16:59.160 to be able to operate in the NFL at the 2:16:59.200 --> 2:17:05.320 bare minimum it. I know, I could talk to anyone 2:17:05.360 --> 2:17:09.000 else I know at quarterback, if you've got a running 2:17:09.040 --> 2:17:12.320 back versus a linebacker with space one on one, the 2:17:12.400 --> 2:17:17.000 running back's going to win. Give him the ball. You 2:17:17.040 --> 2:17:20.080 can't throw deep balls out of bounds. There's a termin 2:17:20.200 --> 2:17:23.480 in with quarterbacks. When you're throwing a deep ball, you 2:17:23.520 --> 2:17:25.840 want the ball to land halfway between the numbers and 2:17:25.879 --> 2:17:27.800 the out of bounds. So if you think on an 2:17:27.879 --> 2:17:30.240 NFL field, where the numbers are going down the field 2:17:30.640 --> 2:17:32.000 and then the out of bounds, if you drew an 2:17:32.040 --> 2:17:35.480 imaginary line all the way down the field, halfway between 2:17:35.480 --> 2:17:38.000 the two, that's where your deep ball lands because it 2:17:38.000 --> 2:17:42.680 gives your receiver room to operate. The throws last week 2:17:42.680 --> 2:17:45.360 were out of bounds. You could even make a play, 2:17:45.480 --> 2:17:47.680 and they've got guys that can do it. He did 2:17:47.680 --> 2:17:49.560 it on the first drive, one up and got one 2:17:49.920 --> 2:17:53.840 unbelievable catch. We talk about the catch radius. They don't 2:17:54.200 --> 2:17:57.560 utilize those things, and when they do, you have to 2:17:57.640 --> 2:18:00.280 hit on them. And Jake Browning didn't do it last week, 2:18:01.200 --> 2:18:03.680 which again you wonder should he be doing it again 2:18:03.720 --> 2:18:05.800 this week? But they haven't addressed that position. 2:18:06.200 --> 2:18:11.040 I mean, the ceiling for Jake Browning is not very high. 2:18:11.400 --> 2:18:14.880 You know, that was what his eighth, ninth NFL start. 2:18:15.640 --> 2:18:18.840 He's a backup quarterback. He's a backup quarterback for a reason. 2:18:19.400 --> 2:18:23.000 What I watched on Monday night looked like a guy 2:18:23.040 --> 2:18:26.440 in like Drew Pltt a couple of years ago, right 2:18:27.200 --> 2:18:28.760 who he gets a shot. 2:18:28.959 --> 2:18:31.440 He's not gonna make the team, but he's a local guy. 2:18:31.560 --> 2:18:33.680 Give him a chance to put some stuff on film, 2:18:34.720 --> 2:18:38.440 and you know, the longer he's on the field, the 2:18:38.520 --> 2:18:39.720 more it's gonna become. 2:18:39.800 --> 2:18:41.080 I'm not doing this to pick on Drew. 2:18:41.120 --> 2:18:43.200 I'm just using it as an example where it's like, Okay, 2:18:43.240 --> 2:18:46.080 this is not an NFL quarterback. That's what Jake Browning 2:18:46.120 --> 2:18:49.039 looked like. He looked like Des Richard this preseason. 2:18:49.040 --> 2:18:51.560 DEAs was Terrible's like people are like, well what happened 2:18:51.640 --> 2:18:54.440 years ago? If you actually believe it, their own line 2:18:54.480 --> 2:18:57.039 running the ball was better years ago. Yeah, this old 2:18:57.080 --> 2:19:02.680 line is constructed to pass block. So what doesn't help 2:19:02.760 --> 2:19:05.640 Jake Browning the ability that he can't turn around and 2:19:05.640 --> 2:19:07.520 give it to a running back twenty five times and 2:19:07.520 --> 2:19:11.120 get yards. So what happens Morris put on his shoulders, 2:19:11.720 --> 2:19:14.480 and in my opinion, over the last two weeks, he has 2:19:14.520 --> 2:19:17.560 not shown the ability with more weight on his shoulders 2:19:17.600 --> 2:19:21.000 to operate in an offense. Yeah, it's also different to 2:19:21.040 --> 2:19:23.119 operate over the course of the end of the year 2:19:23.800 --> 2:19:26.840 instead of fourteen to fifteen games remaining. 2:19:29.080 --> 2:19:30.960 But when I think of two years ago, they did 2:19:31.080 --> 2:19:33.160 run it effectively right, and they had a screen. They 2:19:33.160 --> 2:19:34.760 can't do that, And then there were a couple of 2:19:34.800 --> 2:19:37.400 times think of that Minnesota game two years ago where 2:19:37.480 --> 2:19:41.560 te goes and makes some great plays. None of that, 2:19:41.840 --> 2:19:46.240 like what I saw, was preseason level incompetence from a 2:19:46.280 --> 2:19:49.240 starting quarterback in a primetime game on the road. You're 2:19:49.240 --> 2:19:52.680 going to lose every single time, can't win. It is 2:19:52.720 --> 2:19:56.199 a sixteen minutes matchups. Bad matchups, Yeah, bad matchups. Sixteen 2:19:56.200 --> 2:19:59.360 minutes after two o'clock. We are broadcasting from the Holy Grail. 2:20:00.640 --> 2:20:06.240 Let's see NY one to three in Baltimore.

It's twenty 2:20:13.520 --> 2:20:15.119 three to three with the pat pending. 2:20:15.160 --> 2:20:16.560 We're gonna use this all year match up. 2:20:16.600 --> 2:20:19.199 Bad batch up.

Congratulations. 2:29:01.520 --> 2:29:06.160 Yeah, yeah, what I just remember you. 2:29:06.160 --> 2:29:11.760 You know, I remember meeting Meredith and it was like 2:29:11.879 --> 2:29:14.600 I met Tony's girlfriend, and then the next week it 2:29:14.640 --> 2:29:15.600 was We're getting married. 2:29:16.040 --> 2:29:20.240 Wow. Yeah, it was quick, you know, yolo, Man, you 2:29:20.280 --> 2:29:22.840 gotta make the post of everybody most quickly. 2:29:24.959 --> 2:29:26.600 Well, very good planet. 2:29:26.879 --> 2:29:29.360 That is better than all that other short I just 2:29:29.480 --> 2:29:31.920 mentioned that happened on October fifth. 2:29:31.959 --> 2:29:34.360 In uh Cincinnati sports history. 2:29:35.040 --> 2:29:38.080 Uh, let's take a look at how every piece is important, Tony. 2:29:38.120 --> 2:29:40.520 It's brought to you by Donado's Pizza. Where every piece 2:29:40.560 --> 2:29:45.080 is important. Tonado's is the official pizza of the Cincinnati Bengals. 2:29:45.080 --> 2:29:46.160 Give me an important piece. 2:29:47.560 --> 2:29:51.280 Uh. Chase Brown, he was important going into the year. 2:29:51.440 --> 2:29:54.879 I I thought Chase Brown was going to end this 2:29:54.959 --> 2:29:56.880 year as one of the top backs of the league. Yes, 2:29:57.680 --> 2:30:01.359 And what I want to see now, if you can't 2:30:02.480 --> 2:30:05.960 get it just by handing the ball off, can you 2:30:06.000 --> 2:30:09.640 give Chase Brown opportunities to be effective without handing it off. 2:30:10.040 --> 2:30:12.160 Can you use them in the passing game? Can you 2:30:12.240 --> 2:30:15.600 run some screen game? Can you find ways for Chase 2:30:15.640 --> 2:30:18.240 Brown to have an impact on the game today outside 2:30:18.240 --> 2:30:19.840 of just running the ball in between the tackle? 2:30:20.959 --> 2:30:24.080 So this goes into what I think is huge. You 2:30:24.160 --> 2:30:26.720 got to keep Detroit's offense off the field. The Bengals 2:30:26.760 --> 2:30:29.440 are last in the NFL in number of plays run 2:30:29.480 --> 2:30:32.000 per game, in large part because they're awful on third 2:30:32.040 --> 2:30:36.320 down the last two weeks, especially just five of twenty two. 2:30:36.400 --> 2:30:38.160 And so you start there. 2:30:38.280 --> 2:30:40.879 Whenever you play a team of the high powered offense, 2:30:41.040 --> 2:30:43.320 you figure out a way to keep them off the field. 2:30:43.360 --> 2:30:47.039 The Lions have I think by definition, a high powered, 2:30:47.120 --> 2:30:49.520 high scoring, explosive offense. 2:30:50.400 --> 2:30:51.800 You obviously need points. 2:30:52.480 --> 2:30:54.960 You're probably not going to be able to score twenty 2:30:55.040 --> 2:30:58.840 four today in hope to win. But can you score 2:30:59.040 --> 2:31:02.440 on sustained dry If you can't convert on third down, 2:31:02.480 --> 2:31:04.560 then the answer is non. Well, you have less of 2:31:04.600 --> 2:31:06.879 a chance of converting on third down if every third 2:31:06.879 --> 2:31:09.080 down is a third and seven or longer. And over 2:31:09.160 --> 2:31:11.280 the last two weeks they've been because they can't run 2:31:11.280 --> 2:31:14.440 the ball. Everything is sort of tied together. But I 2:31:14.480 --> 2:31:18.279 look at drive sustainability and I look at third down conversions. 2:31:18.320 --> 2:31:20.080 The Bengals in both regards have been awful. 2:31:20.160 --> 2:31:22.360 Yeah, and again, to tie them both together, that's where 2:31:22.400 --> 2:31:26.760 Chase brown helps run the ball, shorten the passing game, 2:31:27.560 --> 2:31:30.360 and find ways to get the ball. I mean again, 2:31:30.520 --> 2:31:33.400 I keep we keep harping on last week Denver could 2:31:33.400 --> 2:31:36.880 have ran fifty bubbles. Last week I got fifteen yards 2:31:36.920 --> 2:31:40.680 of bubble. Right, you have to at some point, by 2:31:40.720 --> 2:31:45.080 your alignment and your pre snap movement, find advantageous ways 2:31:45.120 --> 2:31:48.320 to get your guys in position. Two weeks ago, we 2:31:48.360 --> 2:31:51.320 watched Kansas. I've never seen a team shift in motion 2:31:51.440 --> 2:31:54.039 more before the snap than what they did, But talking 2:31:54.080 --> 2:31:56.360 to UST coaches after the game, it gave them fits. 2:31:57.440 --> 2:32:00.920 Try that, right, Try more movement, Try more shifting, Try 2:32:00.959 --> 2:32:04.320 getting the play in quicker start there. Yeah, allow Jake 2:32:04.320 --> 2:32:06.039 Browning to at least try to see what the defense 2:32:06.160 --> 2:32:06.480 is doing. 2:32:06.600 --> 2:32:09.280 Two delay of game penalties won on a punt which 2:32:09.520 --> 2:32:11.520 may have been intentional, I don't know. But the other 2:32:11.560 --> 2:32:13.840 one again, you go back to the first game of 2:32:13.840 --> 2:32:16.680 the season, because you know, I think there's a tendency 2:32:16.800 --> 2:32:18.680 to kind of pin everything on the fact that they're 2:32:18.720 --> 2:32:22.080 operating with Joe, with Jake Browning. We talked after Game one, 2:32:22.640 --> 2:32:25.600 the one complete game that Joe Burrow played, how do 2:32:25.640 --> 2:32:28.080 you have this amount of continuity with the coaching staff 2:32:28.160 --> 2:32:30.440 and look, Jake Browning's been here a while. How do 2:32:30.440 --> 2:32:33.240 you have this much continuity with the quarterback and have 2:32:33.360 --> 2:32:35.120 such a hard time getting the play in? 2:32:35.400 --> 2:32:38.440 Right? That's the thing. You would think that Jake Browning 2:32:38.560 --> 2:32:41.960 just joined this team three weeks ago, right, he knowed 2:32:42.040 --> 2:32:44.400 that was the whole point of him being the guy 2:32:44.640 --> 2:32:47.920 is he knows the system inside and out. Why can't 2:32:47.959 --> 2:32:50.200 you operate at any level of that system? 2:32:50.320 --> 2:32:50.680 Yeah? 2:32:50.920 --> 2:32:53.200 I don't. That to me is one of the most 2:32:53.280 --> 2:32:56.080 maddening things about it is watching them and them not 2:32:56.160 --> 2:32:59.400 being known to piece together the simplest, simplest. 2:32:59.080 --> 2:33:02.800 Thing, like it's a copycat league. Do the Bengals coaches 2:33:02.840 --> 2:33:05.160 not watch other teams? Like how do you watch San 2:33:05.240 --> 2:33:07.720 Francisco on Thursday and not come to the office and 2:33:07.760 --> 2:33:08.960 go I like that you know what. 2:33:09.000 --> 2:33:10.959 There are some concepts they used. 2:33:10.720 --> 2:33:12.680 That is legal. You're allowed to do that. You could 2:33:12.720 --> 2:33:15.800 watch the tape the twenty two right and you could say, hey, 2:33:15.879 --> 2:33:18.840 that's a good idea, right, let's grab that and use it. 2:33:18.440 --> 2:33:21.560 It feels like there's none of that schematically here now, 2:33:21.640 --> 2:33:23.920 no borrowing from other teams that seem to do it 2:33:23.959 --> 2:33:24.840 at a really high level. 2:33:24.840 --> 2:33:25.920 We got a step aside. 2:33:26.400 --> 2:33:29.920 It's two thirty broadcasting from the Holy Grail, downtown Cincinnati. 2:33:29.959 --> 2:33:33.720 News Time, Arnell Carriers pregame sports talk presented by your 2:33:33.800 --> 2:33:36.599 Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Toyota. 2:33:36.280 --> 2:33:41.520 Diaters, News, traffic and winning.

Quarterback Jake Brownie knows 2:34:00.320 --> 2:34:01.440 it's a good Detroit defense. 2:34:01.440 --> 2:34:03.440 They're about the face, Yeah, really good personnel. 2:34:03.560 --> 2:34:06.160 Front seven is really good. Dbs are scrappy as hell. 2:34:06.320 --> 2:34:07.960 The twenty one does a really good job. 2:34:08.360 --> 2:34:08.920 Aggressive. 2:34:08.959 --> 2:34:11.240 He's not afraid to come up and press anybody in 2:34:11.280 --> 2:34:13.560 the NFL.

Lamar Jackson has progressed 2:40:34.680 --> 2:40:37.280 and I mean he is an upper tier absolute dude. 2:40:37.360 --> 2:40:40.520 They've had a very good roster the last couple of seasons. Yeah, 2:40:40.600 --> 2:40:43.800 they haven't even made an AFC Championship game during this run. 2:40:44.240 --> 2:40:47.800 Does does Pittsburgh just run away with the North? 2:40:48.040 --> 2:40:51.480 Feels like it? If the Bengals lose today, feels like it. 2:40:53.560 --> 2:40:54.560 You hate to say that. 2:40:56.040 --> 2:40:57.880 Until they come here a couple of Thursdays. 2:40:59.040 --> 2:41:00.560 Steelers with a bye this week. 2:41:01.280 --> 2:41:03.279 But yeah, I mean, what do you think Aaron Rodgers 2:41:03.280 --> 2:41:06.920 is doing right now? Probably something I wouldn't want to do. 2:41:07.160 --> 2:41:09.080 Probably in a dark somewhere. Yeah, I don't know. 2:41:09.200 --> 2:41:11.640 You imagine him like not like just in a dark 2:41:11.760 --> 2:41:14.520 hut watching football tape by himself. 2:41:14.760 --> 2:41:15.520 I don't know that. 2:41:16.240 --> 2:41:17.360 I don't know that when he goes to one of 2:41:17.400 --> 2:41:19.640 those darkness retreats, football as much on his mind. 2:41:19.760 --> 2:41:20.160 I don't know. 2:41:20.200 --> 2:41:21.119 Look, he's played. 2:41:20.840 --> 2:41:24.959 Well, I'm not I started to play better. I do 2:41:25.120 --> 2:41:29.119 not yet subscribe to any belief that they can win 2:41:29.160 --> 2:41:32.520 the AFC. And you know, look a year ago at 2:41:32.560 --> 2:41:36.480 this time, they were kind of felt like becoming one 2:41:36.520 --> 2:41:38.240 of those teams that you thought could win the AFC, 2:41:38.400 --> 2:41:40.080 and then by the second half of the season that 2:41:40.200 --> 2:41:43.440 was abundantly not clear or abundantly clear that they weren't. 2:41:43.800 --> 2:41:46.240 They had that season in twenty twenty where they started 2:41:46.280 --> 2:41:48.280 ten and one, like there have been years like this, 2:41:48.480 --> 2:41:52.520 But they've played well, he's played well. If this score 2:41:52.560 --> 2:41:55.160 in Baltimore holds and they're one and four, if the 2:41:55.160 --> 2:41:59.280 Bengals lose in they're two and three, Cleveland's already lost. 2:41:59.400 --> 2:42:01.520 You start to think, if you're a Steelers fan, like 2:42:02.320 --> 2:42:05.119 we can put some distance between ourselves and the rest of. 2:42:05.040 --> 2:42:08.480 The division in an AFC that is not very good, 2:42:08.560 --> 2:42:10.880 which makes this even more frustrating that the Bengals are 2:42:10.879 --> 2:42:11.360 going through this. 2:42:11.520 --> 2:42:13.240 That's the thing, Like, I don't know who the seven 2:42:13.280 --> 2:42:16.879 playoff teams are supposed to be. Yeah, I'm watching John 2:42:16.879 --> 2:42:20.200 Harball talking to Evan Washburn and his hair like it 2:42:20.200 --> 2:42:21.280 ain't them right now. 2:42:21.640 --> 2:42:24.240 No, it's got to be a tough, tough conversation. I 2:42:24.280 --> 2:42:24.720 don't know. 2:42:25.200 --> 2:42:27.440 I credit for him for having it, because some head 2:42:27.440 --> 2:42:30.240 coaches will just walk past. I don't know who the 2:42:30.240 --> 2:42:32.720 playoff teams are supposed to be in the AFC. Yeah, 2:42:32.800 --> 2:42:34.440 I can tell you who the really good teams are 2:42:34.480 --> 2:42:36.680 in the NFC. In the AFC, I can't find seven 2:42:36.720 --> 2:42:40.279 good ones yep. But if they win today. 2:42:40.120 --> 2:42:44.160 What can you find more of AFC playoff teams or 2:42:44.200 --> 2:42:46.840 players on this current roster you would have to have 2:42:47.040 --> 2:42:47.640 back next year? 2:42:49.240 --> 2:42:49.520 Hmm. 2:42:51.040 --> 2:42:52.280 Probably AFC playoff. 2:42:52.560 --> 2:42:56.119 This stuff it's been I've been racking my brain all week, 2:42:57.160 --> 2:42:58.600 kind of talk myself into things. 2:42:58.600 --> 2:43:03.520 Well, who are they like again, like Chase higgins Borough 2:43:03.560 --> 2:43:04.360 put over here? 2:43:04.920 --> 2:43:06.400 Everybody else is over here? 2:43:06.640 --> 2:43:09.080 Who are you grabbing from this group and putting with 2:43:09.200 --> 2:43:11.520 the group that has Jamar Joe and T couldn't tell 2:43:11.560 --> 2:43:15.640 you who like. One might say Chase Brown, he plays 2:43:15.720 --> 2:43:18.880 running back. I haven't been able to get him going yep. 2:43:19.400 --> 2:43:21.680 Right now, for me, it's none of those offensive line 2:43:21.720 --> 2:43:25.160 and it's none of those defensive lineman Shamar Stewart. I'll 2:43:25.160 --> 2:43:27.959 certainly give the benefit of the doubt too. It's no linebacker, 2:43:28.040 --> 2:43:32.240 God knows, it's no dB. Like who who's in this 2:43:32.320 --> 2:43:35.200 group that you pluck over here and put in this group? 2:43:35.360 --> 2:43:38.400 Yeah? Who is a guy you look at and say, 2:43:38.640 --> 2:43:40.680 cannot go into a season without? 2:43:41.120 --> 2:43:42.960 Yeah, who's essential? 2:43:43.720 --> 2:43:46.720 Logan Wilson. No Bengals have told you that much. 2:43:47.400 --> 2:43:49.600 I'll bui his playing time is demand. 2:43:50.840 --> 2:43:56.160 No Dax Hill, Geno Stone, DJ Turner, Josh Newton. 2:43:56.760 --> 2:43:58.360 No, no, no. 2:43:58.680 --> 2:44:00.520 I could certainly get to a point I believe that 2:44:00.560 --> 2:44:03.240 Demetrius Knight's one of those guys. Oh so okay, Pope, 2:44:03.320 --> 2:44:08.560 Shamar Stewart, Dylan Fairchild. Maybe again, we did this before. 2:44:08.720 --> 2:44:12.600 I make rookies exempt from the discussion because they're so unproven. 2:44:12.879 --> 2:44:13.800 Who else you got? 2:44:15.120 --> 2:44:16.080 Who else you got. 2:44:15.920 --> 2:44:17.959 That You're like, you know what, the next half of 2:44:17.959 --> 2:44:21.600 the decade, we're gonna win super Bowls unless we let 2:44:21.640 --> 2:44:22.720 these guys get away. 2:44:25.080 --> 2:44:25.840 It don't exist. 2:44:26.040 --> 2:44:28.320 But that's the frustrating part is I don't know the answers, 2:44:30.000 --> 2:44:32.039 and you would think with a lot of those times, 2:44:32.640 --> 2:44:34.760 you could at least say, okay, we can at least 2:44:34.800 --> 2:44:37.440 look to this and this core group. Let me ask 2:44:37.480 --> 2:44:39.879 you this, who has more of those type players the 2:44:39.920 --> 2:44:40.720 reds of the Bengals. 2:44:40.720 --> 2:44:44.400 The Reds, right, because they have starting pitchers. Correct, it's 2:44:44.520 --> 2:44:47.520 not an apples apples comparison, But the Rets, I'm not 2:44:47.520 --> 2:44:50.400 sure who they are positionally top to bottom. But the 2:44:50.680 --> 2:44:53.800 frustrating thing about the Bengals part of it is last 2:44:53.840 --> 2:44:56.360 year we knew they had a bad roster. This coming 2:44:56.400 --> 2:44:59.039 into this season, we said, man, you got Joe, he's healthy, 2:44:59.080 --> 2:45:02.640 if he's superhuman, you'll be fine. But it's probably not 2:45:03.040 --> 2:45:05.520 like nobody would have looked at the Bengals roster before 2:45:05.560 --> 2:45:08.440 the season and said it's among the best eight to 2:45:08.480 --> 2:45:09.280 ten in the NFL. 2:45:09.440 --> 2:45:10.280 Yeah, nobody. 2:45:10.400 --> 2:45:12.920 You might have thought the wide receiver position. You certainly 2:45:12.959 --> 2:45:14.199 might have thought that. The quarterback. 2:45:14.480 --> 2:45:15.000 You didn't look. 2:45:15.440 --> 2:45:18.440 Again, the bar for the defense all off season was 2:45:18.760 --> 2:45:20.039 they just gotta. 2:45:19.760 --> 2:45:20.840 Be league average. 2:45:21.000 --> 2:45:23.200 Yeah, it's pretty damning and timing against the quality of 2:45:23.200 --> 2:45:24.480 the players on that side of the ball. 2:45:24.520 --> 2:45:28.600 That's tough. Be league average, be league average, be top twenty, 2:45:29.720 --> 2:45:30.320 top twenty. 2:45:30.440 --> 2:45:33.200 So now they need more and they're not capable of 2:45:33.240 --> 2:45:33.560 doing that. 2:45:33.959 --> 2:45:34.160 Yep. 2:45:35.760 --> 2:45:37.720 Would you like to pick the four o'clock games, Stud 2:45:37.840 --> 2:45:41.680 Knights game in to Marsvin. Tampa Bay is on the 2:45:41.720 --> 2:45:44.520 road against Seattle. The Seahawks are laying three and a half. 2:45:45.320 --> 2:45:47.920 Gosh, I think Seattle is one of those teams that 2:45:48.080 --> 2:45:51.800 is dangerous. But there is just something about Baker Mayfield 2:45:52.320 --> 2:45:55.280 and this Tampa team that I like. I can't pick 2:45:55.320 --> 2:45:57.680 against him. I think it's an opportunity for them to 2:45:57.680 --> 2:45:58.840 go on the road and get a good win. I 2:45:58.879 --> 2:46:00.160 think against a good Seattle. 2:45:59.840 --> 2:46:03.600 Ta beating up Bucky Irving, Mike Evans. But I think 2:46:03.600 --> 2:46:06.800 they figure it out. I think Baker Mayfield basically makes 2:46:06.800 --> 2:46:07.600 them figure it out. 2:46:07.680 --> 2:46:08.280 Yeah. 2:46:08.400 --> 2:46:12.360 I like Tampa Bay. Arizona a pretty big home favorite 2:46:12.360 --> 2:46:15.160 against Tennessee laying seven and a half. Is today Brian 2:46:15.200 --> 2:46:16.240 Callahan's last game. 2:46:16.400 --> 2:46:18.880 Man boy, he gave up play calling duties. 2:46:18.959 --> 2:46:20.360 Oh yeah, bought himself some times. 2:46:20.760 --> 2:46:22.880 I'll tell you what. Arizona's one of those teams I'm 2:46:22.920 --> 2:46:26.720 not ready to count out of the equation yet. I 2:46:26.720 --> 2:46:29.000 think if they can figure a couple things out, I 2:46:29.160 --> 2:46:31.480 like them. I'll take Arizona to cover the number. 2:46:32.080 --> 2:46:36.840 Give me a Washington at the Chargers. LA is laying three. 2:46:37.000 --> 2:46:40.520 I'm just gonna go I'm taking Washington. Jane Daniels is back, 2:46:40.920 --> 2:46:44.440 Joe Alt is hurt, They've already lost in Sewan Slater. 2:46:44.920 --> 2:46:46.640 That offensive line is gonna be a mess. 2:46:47.320 --> 2:46:49.800 If you asked me this game last week, yes, I 2:46:49.840 --> 2:46:51.240 take the Chargers because I thought they were one of 2:46:51.240 --> 2:46:53.560 the best teams in football. Yes, I like a Marion Hampton, 2:46:53.800 --> 2:46:56.280 but I'm with you. I think Washington, now that they're 2:46:56.320 --> 2:46:58.959 getting Daniel's back, has something to prove, and after that 2:46:59.080 --> 2:47:01.200 Chargers loss last I don't really know who they are. 2:47:01.360 --> 2:47:01.840 Four and oh. 2:47:01.879 --> 2:47:04.720 Buffalo is laying seven and a half against the Pats. 2:47:06.720 --> 2:47:09.440 I think New England's better in a lot of places, 2:47:09.879 --> 2:47:11.840 but I think I think Buffalo's four to oh and 2:47:11.840 --> 2:47:14.720 haven't played their best game yet. I'll take Buffalo, and. 2:47:14.720 --> 2:47:17.480 They've achieved balanced on offense, which has been kind of 2:47:17.480 --> 2:47:20.520 elusive for them during this Josh Allen run. I don't 2:47:20.520 --> 2:47:24.320 think the Patriots can get after the quarterback. I'll take Buffalo. 2:47:24.480 --> 2:47:28.199 I'll lay the points. Kansas City's trending upward. 2:47:29.160 --> 2:47:31.680 Everything last week felt like when the wheels fall off 2:47:31.680 --> 2:47:33.760 for them and then they dominate the Ravens uh huh 2:47:33.840 --> 2:47:38.000 offense pieced it together. It's also Travis Kelce's birthday, said 2:47:38.040 --> 2:47:40.360 a big weekend, got a song about him. 2:47:40.400 --> 2:47:42.959 I've learned a lot about Travis Kelcey listening to the 2:47:43.000 --> 2:47:44.400 new Taylor Swift album. 2:47:44.160 --> 2:47:45.680 Which is a lot of what we don't want to 2:47:45.680 --> 2:47:46.720 know about Travis Kelsey. 2:47:46.720 --> 2:47:49.640 So I get an eight year old daughter, Crosley loves 2:47:49.680 --> 2:47:50.480 Taylor Swift. 2:47:50.760 --> 2:47:51.840 Yeah, we've listened to them. 2:47:51.879 --> 2:47:54.520 Now, there are some adult themes in this album that 2:47:54.600 --> 2:47:55.840 we've kind of hoped she just. 2:47:55.879 --> 2:47:56.600 Kind of ignores. 2:47:56.760 --> 2:47:59.920 Yeah, but I've learned a lot about Travis Kelcey listening 2:47:59.879 --> 2:48:02.560 to this album that I didn't necessarily need to know. 2:48:02.840 --> 2:48:07.320 Yep. I'll take Kansas City, though, I'll. 2:48:07.240 --> 2:48:08.640 Lay the three and a half with the Chiefs. 2:48:09.480 --> 2:48:15.920 There's one more game to pick, Bengals, big home dogs. 2:48:16.240 --> 2:48:19.000 We'll talk about it when we come back.

Chubb at twenty seven yard touchdown run. It 2:51:16.320 --> 2:51:20.119 is thirty one to three. What is the most lopsided 2:51:20.320 --> 2:51:23.400 home Ravens loss of the hardball era. 2:51:23.600 --> 2:51:27.880 Let's just do this. What points spread is closer today 2:51:27.879 --> 2:51:31.680 at the end of the game, Texans Ravens Bengals Lions. 2:51:34.640 --> 2:51:37.080 Where Texans Ravens is now or were it made? 2:51:37.080 --> 2:51:41.360 We don't finish because if this is similar to what 2:51:41.440 --> 2:51:42.560 we see here today. 2:51:42.520 --> 2:51:48.240 This will end forty five ten. Cooper Rush will put 2:51:48.240 --> 2:51:49.840 a touchdown on the board. I don't know why, Derek 2:51:49.879 --> 2:51:52.840 Henry still in the game, get established a run down 2:51:52.879 --> 2:51:55.560 by twenty eight points. Bad matchup for baltim I'll say 2:51:55.640 --> 2:51:59.400 forty five ten. Okay, So can the Bengals cover thirty 2:51:59.440 --> 2:51:59.880 five at home? 2:52:01.800 --> 2:52:03.080 We'll get to that in just a second. 2:52:04.160 --> 2:52:06.320 Elsewhere around the NFL, Colts up twenty to three on 2:52:06.360 --> 2:52:09.000 the Raiders, thirteen to go in the third quarter. Still 2:52:09.040 --> 2:52:11.240 at the half of New Orleans, Saints lead the Giants 2:52:11.280 --> 2:52:14.960 sixteen to fourteen. They are getting underway the second half 2:52:15.120 --> 2:52:17.600 in New Jersey. Cowboys still up twenty three to three 2:52:17.920 --> 2:52:22.000 on the Jets. Second half underway in Philadelphia, Eagles ten, 2:52:22.120 --> 2:52:26.360 Broncos three, Dolphins up seventeen to three. Panthers have kicked 2:52:26.360 --> 2:52:28.440 the field goal in the third quarter seventeen to thirteen. 2:52:28.879 --> 2:52:31.560 Miami leads twelve to go in the third quarter in 2:52:31.640 --> 2:52:33.760 that one, And as we just mentioned, the Ravens are 2:52:33.800 --> 2:52:37.800 getting destroyed at home by the Houston Texans thirty one, 2:52:37.959 --> 2:52:40.720 two three, And I think Derreck Henry just got stopped 2:52:40.800 --> 2:52:42.280 on third and two. 2:52:43.040 --> 2:52:44.120 So there you go. 2:52:44.440 --> 2:52:46.480 Four Pregame Sports Talk is brought to you in part 2:52:46.560 --> 2:52:48.000 by Encore Technologies. 2:52:48.120 --> 2:52:52.360 Check out encore dot tech. Do you want to pick 2:52:52.400 --> 2:52:52.640 the game? 2:52:52.680 --> 2:52:56.680 Against the spread today, Lions ten and a half point 2:52:56.800 --> 2:53:00.199 favorites on the road against. 2:53:00.600 --> 2:53:03.320 Let's start here. Are you surprised the numbers ten and 2:53:03.360 --> 2:53:03.840 a half. 2:53:05.200 --> 2:53:07.400 A little bit because it opened at nine and a 2:53:07.440 --> 2:53:10.000 half and then it came off because the Bengals played 2:53:10.040 --> 2:53:13.200 on Monday and when it went back on the board, 2:53:13.400 --> 2:53:15.080 it didn't move. It was nine and a half. It 2:53:15.160 --> 2:53:17.600 was ten and a half by Tuesday morning. I thought 2:53:18.400 --> 2:53:21.640 that Monday night's performance might boost that number just a 2:53:21.680 --> 2:53:24.160 little bit in Detroit's direction. Yeah, I was thinking like 2:53:24.280 --> 2:53:27.000 thirteen and a half. Yeah, somewhere around there. The Bengals 2:53:27.000 --> 2:53:27.480 are at home. 2:53:27.560 --> 2:53:32.160 But yeah, I guess they're at home on taper. 2:53:32.280 --> 2:53:33.840 Geographically they're at home. 2:53:36.920 --> 2:53:39.920 Normally, I find the path and I find the way. 2:53:40.040 --> 2:53:42.920 I've been unable to do that this week. I don't 2:53:42.959 --> 2:53:46.520 know how they keep this close. I think the aggressive 2:53:46.560 --> 2:53:48.680 nature in which Detroit plays defensively is going to be 2:53:48.720 --> 2:53:51.200 an issue. Aidon Hutchinson is going to be an issue, 2:53:51.840 --> 2:53:56.520 and I don't know how they stop the offense as 2:53:56.680 --> 2:54:01.320 currently constructed. Of the Lions, I think Lions win, I 2:54:01.360 --> 2:54:02.080 think Lions cover. 2:54:03.120 --> 2:54:05.880 I think the Lions are favored. If Joe Burrow is 2:54:05.920 --> 2:54:10.520 healthy that is a statement against the Bengals. It's also 2:54:10.640 --> 2:54:14.800 a reflection of how good and talented and well coached 2:54:15.040 --> 2:54:17.200 the Detroit Lions are, who, by the way, have been 2:54:17.240 --> 2:54:18.119 awesome on the road. 2:54:18.040 --> 2:54:22.520 Under Dan Campbell. And so the ten and a half 2:54:22.800 --> 2:54:24.920 isn't just Joe to Jake. 2:54:25.480 --> 2:54:27.000 I think the Lions would not be ten and a 2:54:27.040 --> 2:54:29.040 half point favorites, but I do think they would be 2:54:29.080 --> 2:54:31.119 favorite if Joe Burrow were playing quarterback, and I think 2:54:31.120 --> 2:54:33.200 it would be more than a point or two. I 2:54:33.320 --> 2:54:36.080 think these are just two teams that look and feel 2:54:36.320 --> 2:54:40.119 dramatically different because of the quality of Detroit's roster, how 2:54:40.160 --> 2:54:44.640 it reflects their identity, how well coached it is, how 2:54:44.720 --> 2:54:47.320 the Lions have taken on the personality of their head coach. 2:54:47.680 --> 2:54:50.039 And I can't say any of that about the Bengals. 2:54:50.720 --> 2:54:54.400 So can I see the back door opening? Sure, it's 2:54:54.480 --> 2:54:57.400 ten and a half NFL games. It happens all the 2:54:57.520 --> 2:55:01.280 time where team's up seventeen, team at home gets a 2:55:01.320 --> 2:55:04.720 garbage time touchdown and the back door comes open and 2:55:04.800 --> 2:55:07.760 it ends up they cover. This is the first time, 2:55:09.520 --> 2:55:13.600 I think, since before Joe Burrow was drafted, where I 2:55:13.760 --> 2:55:16.840 look at a game and I don't see a pathway 2:55:16.920 --> 2:55:22.640 to winning barring Detroit doing what the Bengals did against 2:55:22.640 --> 2:55:27.400 the Minnesota Vikings. I cannot give myself to a point 2:55:27.440 --> 2:55:31.440 where they win this football game. I think that it's 2:55:31.480 --> 2:55:33.600 gonna be a lot like that guy right there who 2:55:33.760 --> 2:55:36.920 just fell. And I certainly hope that young man is okay. 2:55:38.240 --> 2:55:42.240 That that gentleman right there sort of personifies the way 2:55:42.360 --> 2:55:43.320 this season is gone. 2:55:43.840 --> 2:55:45.200 He looked like a tree falling. 2:55:45.840 --> 2:55:49.760 Wow, feels like it feels like a micro cosma what 2:55:49.840 --> 2:55:50.880 we might win ess here soon. 2:55:51.040 --> 2:55:54.879 He looked like Orlando Brown or a Marius Min's trying 2:55:54.920 --> 2:55:56.280 to throw a block last week. 2:55:57.440 --> 2:56:00.240 I mean, he just got knocked backwards. He looked like 2:56:00.320 --> 2:56:02.920 that safety trying to tackle ty Wee Walker yesterday. 2:56:03.080 --> 2:56:05.680 Oh, that guy's got to retire from sports. 2:56:06.040 --> 2:56:10.160 That that gentleman right there needs to retire from today. 2:56:10.480 --> 2:56:12.959 Yep y because some days this an't your day. 2:56:13.040 --> 2:56:14.279 Put that guy in the backseat. 2:56:14.400 --> 2:56:18.160 What's the what's the conversation for us tomorrow if it 2:56:18.320 --> 2:56:19.000 is lopsided? 2:56:19.080 --> 2:56:21.200 So that was my next question, and I think that 2:56:21.360 --> 2:56:26.080 to me is unfortunately, I fear that's where the conversation 2:56:26.240 --> 2:56:28.840 is gonna go. Because I'm interested in the score, and 2:56:28.920 --> 2:56:31.400 I'm interested in the outcome, and I'm interested in what 2:56:31.480 --> 2:56:34.240 the Bengals think they can do against the Lions. But 2:56:34.360 --> 2:56:36.480 what I think is really interesting given the fact that, 2:56:36.680 --> 2:56:39.720 at least from outsiders, the heat on Zach Taylor has 2:56:39.840 --> 2:56:43.640 never been more intense. Number One, if it's another game 2:56:43.680 --> 2:56:45.640 where you walk away from it going the Bengals are 2:56:45.680 --> 2:56:49.680 not prepared, or if the adversity builds and we see 2:56:49.800 --> 2:56:52.200 and we start to see guys check out, or we 2:56:52.400 --> 2:56:55.080 start to see fractures among the team, or we start 2:56:55.160 --> 2:56:58.959 to see sideline meltdowns, all of which are a natural byproduct. 2:56:59.080 --> 2:57:01.120 Tony Urana one team team, you know what it's like. 2:57:02.200 --> 2:57:05.920 I'm I've never thought boy Zach has lost his team, 2:57:06.360 --> 2:57:08.120 but I could certainly see them getting to a point 2:57:08.160 --> 2:57:10.040 where we say that about this team and this coach 2:57:10.160 --> 2:57:10.520 this year. 2:57:10.680 --> 2:57:15.560 Yeah, I think that is the worst case scenario for today, 2:57:16.600 --> 2:57:19.680 that they don't only get beat, but they get beat 2:57:19.720 --> 2:57:22.640 and it feels more like the last two weeks. And 2:57:22.760 --> 2:57:26.200 if so, can you go back and triple down on 2:57:26.320 --> 2:57:29.760 Jake Browning? If so, do you still have the locker room? 2:57:29.879 --> 2:57:35.520 If so, how's the foundation holding up? All to me? Terrifying, right, 2:57:36.080 --> 2:57:38.480 for Game five, Game five of the season. 2:57:38.600 --> 2:57:40.440 That's the thing, Like we often talk about these things 2:57:40.480 --> 2:57:44.560 in November or in December, this is this is game five. 2:57:44.800 --> 2:57:48.640 It's also tony like this team hasn't played well this year. Yeah, 2:57:49.560 --> 2:57:52.920 they were not very good offensively against the Cleveland Browns. 2:57:53.720 --> 2:57:58.280 They did enough to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. I hate 2:57:58.320 --> 2:58:02.760 to say they got lucky. Thomas makes a catch, the 2:58:03.200 --> 2:58:07.160 Jaguars close them out, they win that football game. I 2:58:07.360 --> 2:58:10.680 just I've seen nothing from the Bengals in the two 2:58:10.800 --> 2:58:13.119 hundred and forty minutes I've watched them play this year 2:58:13.879 --> 2:58:16.480 that feels like they can beat a team of this caliber, 2:58:17.120 --> 2:58:19.199 even on their home field. And I think I would 2:58:19.240 --> 2:58:21.680 feel that way even if number nine were playing. Yeah, 2:58:22.400 --> 2:58:23.360 sobering it is. 2:58:24.760 --> 2:58:28.000 And then you wonder, as we already have, you wonder 2:58:28.080 --> 2:58:29.560 even more, how bad might it get? 2:58:30.000 --> 2:58:34.480 Yeah, And what those conversations and those press conferences and 2:58:34.640 --> 2:58:36.960 that weekly message is gonna be going forward with so 2:58:37.080 --> 2:58:40.160 many games left? Uh huh, how can you keep people interested? 2:58:40.400 --> 2:58:42.240 It's gonna be the same we're seeing in Baltimore. There's 2:58:42.360 --> 2:58:45.360 there's almost eight minutes left in the third quarter. Texans 2:58:45.400 --> 2:58:48.640 are driving up thirty one to three, that could be 2:58:48.720 --> 2:58:50.200 thirty eight to three in a couple minutes. 2:58:51.360 --> 2:58:53.160 But you know what, I have seen their head coach 2:58:53.200 --> 2:58:56.640 almost win a playoff game without Lamar Jackson. I mean, 2:58:56.879 --> 2:59:01.160 John Harball's taking some hit now in Fine. It eventually 2:59:01.240 --> 2:59:03.240 is gonna, you know, swing to the head coach. But 2:59:06.040 --> 2:59:08.279 I bring it back to something I talked about earlier 2:59:08.320 --> 2:59:11.600 with you. I've seen Zach Taylor piece together a game 2:59:11.680 --> 2:59:14.520 plan and in a performance that has put his team 2:59:14.560 --> 2:59:16.600 in a position to win a football game that it's 2:59:16.680 --> 2:59:17.240 not supposed to. 2:59:17.480 --> 2:59:17.680 Yep. 2:59:18.080 --> 2:59:20.440 I've seen him do it before, and I still don't 2:59:20.440 --> 2:59:21.360 trust him to do it today. 2:59:21.400 --> 2:59:24.080 I'm watching the Culture up twenty six to three with 2:59:24.320 --> 2:59:28.640 Daniel Jones as their quarterback, right, How like that Daniel 2:59:28.720 --> 2:59:31.920 Jones lou An Arrumo, who wasn't good enough to coach here? 2:59:33.160 --> 2:59:38.440 Outcast by the Bengals good defense. It happens everywhere around 2:59:38.440 --> 2:59:39.240 the NFL. 2:59:39.120 --> 2:59:39.480 By the way. 2:59:39.640 --> 2:59:43.240 That Broncos team that we watched last bad matchup of course, yes, 2:59:43.400 --> 2:59:45.240 now down seventeen to three on the road to the 2:59:45.280 --> 2:59:46.199 Philadelphia Eagles. 2:59:46.320 --> 2:59:47.600 Yeah, doing nothing offensive? 2:59:47.720 --> 2:59:51.760 Bad, bad matchup, terrible matchup, terrible matchups? What would the 2:59:51.800 --> 2:59:56.400 excuse be today four to twenty five. Starts are tough. 2:59:56.840 --> 2:59:58.480 You know, they had all their practices in the morning 2:59:58.560 --> 3:00:02.039 that they can morning practice. Morning practice is not fair. 3:00:02.040 --> 3:00:04.280 They're making them play at four twenty Yeah, I get it. 3:00:04.440 --> 3:00:10.320 Scheduling as tough. Time is tough. Uh, short week Monday 3:00:10.400 --> 3:00:12.520 night football to Sunday at four twenty five is tough. 3:00:13.200 --> 3:00:15.640 Just a lot of things working against the Bengals. Will 3:00:15.720 --> 3:00:19.840 we see Brett Rippon today?
