Speaker 2: Listening on ESPN fifteen thirty or via the iHeartRadio app.

00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: If you're listening via the app, go ahead and make

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: us a preset favorite and hit that microphone button. Leave

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: us a talkback. We'll dive into those talkbacks today in

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: our number two. It's a different week on SINCY three

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: to sixty because we are in tournament week NCAA Conference

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: Basketball tournament games happening all throughout the week, and because

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: we here on ESPN fifteen thirty are the home of

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals. You look right down the hall and you

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 2: got the Bearcats, and you get the Cincinnati Reds. Also,

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: what happens on this station is Kentucky basketball, which means

22
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Austin that as of now, on Wednesday, we will not

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: be in for a show. Kentucky plays at twelve thirty,

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: So Kentucky will play Wednesday at twelve thirty, meaning we

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: will not be on the air on Wednesday. There's a

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: possibility on Thursday, depending if Kentucky wins or loses that

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: game as well, but implications kind of surrounding our week

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: here at least being on air on ESPN fifteen thirty.

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: So regardless of that, we'll just make the most of

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: what we do have. We know we're here today, we

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: know we're here tomorrow, and we'll have some fun with

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: it along the way. We will recap today a college

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: basketball weekend that was the regular season is done in

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: college basketball. Some conference tournaments are already underway. Some conference

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: tournaments are already finished. Other conference tournaments are just getting

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: set to get underway. The Bearcats, the Wildcats of Kentucky,

37
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: the Dayton Flyers, the Xavier Musketeers all lost their regular

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: season finale over the weekend. Miami did not convincing unbelievable

39
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: scenes in Athens, Ohio on Friday night, Miami wins in overtime.

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: Their perfect season regular season is complete, and I think

41
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: with that comes an NCAA tournament birth. Louisville a winner

42
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Ohio State Bruce Thornton, Bobblehead Night cements themselves.

43
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: You would think into the tournament field by beating Indiana

44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: and how about Austin. What the NKU Norse did last night,

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: a close game in the first half against Doug Gottlieb's

46
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: Green Bay squad and then NKU oh already, Tony.

47
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: We are often running with the legal tampering period in

48
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: the National Football League.

49
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: A bearcat is off the board. Oh.

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a four year, one

51
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: and sixteen million dollar deal with Alec Pierce. Okay, Alec

52
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: Pierce returns to Indianapolis. All right, good for him, Good

53
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: for Alec Pierce. I thought you were his money right there.

54
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: You're talking about a barricott. I thought were gonna say,

55
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: Brian Cook, that was gonna be disappointing. Travis Kelcey.

56
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport reported earlier today about a half hour ago

57
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: that Travis Kelsey's expected to return to the Kansas City Chiefs.

58
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: Okay, so the Bearcats are clearly the hottest commodities. Big

59
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: Bearcat Day. In Lee's tampering.

60
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: As now you mentioned legal tampering is underway, the window

61
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: is open.

62
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: And to get back to what you were saying prior

63
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: to that breaking news, the window is always open for

64
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: the Norse, you know. I had Paul Fritchner on seven

65
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: hundred WLW with me on Friday and he passed along

66
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: a note that I believe he had heard from Rick Brooring,

67
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: So I don't know either way, both of them get

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: credit for it. Going into the game against Green Bay

69
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: this weekend, Darren Horn is three and oh in the

70
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: Horizon League Tournament against coaches that swept him in the

71
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: regular season.

72
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

73
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: Doug Gottlieb and the Green Bay Phoenix swept NKU in

74
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 3: the regular season, and Darren Horn advances to four and

75
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: oh against those coaches after a twenty point beat down

76
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: of the Phoenix and the Horizon League Tournament in Indianapolis,

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: setting up for a showdown with the Right State Raiders.

78
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Oh.

79
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: By the way, Tony swept the Norse in the regular season. Wow,

80
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: opportunity knocks for NKU.

81
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: Wow, what an opportunity for Darren Horn's NKU Norse. Again,

82
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: a sixty point second half, sixty point second half yesterday

83
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: for the Norse. That helps them advance. So we do

84
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: have a lot of college basketball to get to this afternoon.

85
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: We will put a bow on the regular season and

86
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: we will look ahead to the conference tournaments. By the way,

87
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: I believe Austin that writes Day games tonight, right, yes,

88
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: I believe so, Okay, So m KU writes Day that's

89
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock tonight. The other semifinal Detroit Mercy and

90
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: Robert Morris. So another opportunity awaits for Darren Horn's Northern

91
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: Kentucky squad, and we'll obviously keep an eye on that

92
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: along with all the other college basketball we'll get to

93
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: this afternoon. Of course, it's a big day in the

94
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: National Football League as well, legal tampering as we just

95
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: mentioned as underwe and it's already been a busy weekend

96
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. We will spend time today

97
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: on the news in the AFC North that came down

98
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: over the weekend and the news that Jamar Chase reacted

99
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: to as well. Max Crosby is a Baltimore raven The

100
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Ravens give up two first round draft picks for Max Crosby.

101
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: We will discuss those implications on the AFC North today.

102
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: Another huge move in the National Football League, and by huge,

103
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: I talk about the dead money that's going to be

104
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: on the table because the Miami Dolphins have moved on

105
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: from Tua tonguevia Looa and they will eat Austin ninety

106
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: nine million dollars in dead cap money. Unbelievable, unreal right

107
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: now with what the Dolphins are doing. Also full rebuild happening, yes, Miami.

108
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: The Dolphins also have moved their Pro Bowl safety, five

109
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: time Pro Bowl safety Mink Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets.

110
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: The Jets, in return, will send a twenty twenty sixth

111
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: seventh round pick to the Dolphins. So, just to clear

112
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: that up, Austin twenty nine year old Minca Fitzpatrick was

113
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: just moved for a seventh round pick.

114
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: And he's signing a three year, forty million dollar extension

115
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: with the New York Jets. Is Minka Fitzpatrick, So clearly

116
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: some value there. Yeah, and Miami is in the midst

117
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: of me. It's a complete and total rebuild. And it's

118
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: gonna be that way for a little while, and they're

119
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: gonna be obviously hamstrung by some of those issues with

120
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: all that dead cat money moving on from other stuff.

121
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I have some faith in in

122
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: the Dolphins because Jeff Hafley I think very highly of,

123
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: even going back to his time at Ohio State, so

124
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: I think he'll be a good coach. But it's gonna

125
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: take them a while to build a roster viable. And

126
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: by the way it reports already you're coming out that

127
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: Tua is probably going to end up with the Atlanta Falcons.

128
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: They obviously already have Michael Pennix, the left handed quarterback

129
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: there that they drafted in the first round, so that

130
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: would be another left handed quarterback that they would bring in.

131
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski, of course, worked with Dylan Gabriel who was

132
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: a left handed quarterback when he was in Cleveland last year,

133
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: so that's interesting. And they've already added a weapon another

134
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: wide receiver off the board in legal tampering period, it's

135
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: Alamide Zakias signing with the Atlanta Falcons. He made their

136
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: roster as an undrafted free agent seven or eight years ago,

137
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: spent last year had a very good year with the

138
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears.

139
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: He comes back to Atlanta to help the Falcons. So

140
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: things already moving fast today. Another move that was made

141
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: earlier today, the Cowboys had rumored to be in on

142
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Max Crosby. They didn't get to land that name. They

143
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: do land Rashan Gary, the former Green Bay Packer, and

144
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: Rashan Gary will be sent in return from the Cowboys

145
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: to the Packers a fourth round pick in the twenty

146
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: twenty seven NFL Draft. So, I know there's differentiated opinions

147
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: out there, Austin, what was your take on the price

148
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: that the Cowboys paid for Rashaun Gary.

149
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: I was open to the Bengals making a run at

150
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Rashaan Gary, but I was not open to it being

151
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: like a fourth round pick.

152
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: Well you mentioned it today, fourth round pick. That's Geno Watkins.

153
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, in Duke Tobin's mind, it is, and in

154
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: this particular case, I mean he's probably right to not

155
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: give up a fourth round pick for it. I mean,

156
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: the backers were on the verge of cutting the guy,

157
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: and so that's why I think he was at least

158
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: a possibility for the Bengals. But I would have been

159
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: open to it. I think that the Cowboys overpaid a

160
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: little bit. But yeah, we will. We'll keep you up

161
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: with everything going on.

162
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Today.

163
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: Uh oh oh, No, the guy I wanted the most,

164
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: I think has just signed. The Patriots have signed Draymont Jones.

165
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: According to Diana Russini of The Athletic, Draymont Jones was

166
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: traded to Baltimore mid season last year and had a

167
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: really good season for Baltimore. The Ravens were making a

168
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: push to keep him, but he goes to the New

169
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: England Patriots.

170
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was.

171
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: One of the guys that I had circled as a

172
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: potential Bengal. Draymont Jones leaves the AFC North and goes

173
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: to New England to unite with another Buckeye, Mike.

174
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Frabel. There we go forgetting his name. We will. We'll

175
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: keep you up to speed with everything that's happening. It

176
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: should and will be a busy day across the National

177
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Football League. It was reassuring to hear Austin that the

178
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: Bengals at least were in the conversation with Max Crosby.

179
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, I wonder what that was like.

180
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: It was probably about as realistic as the Reds landing

181
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber, probably right, Probably right.

182
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye on the National Football League. We'll

183
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: talk about the implications of Max Crosby and if the

184
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: Bengals would or should have given up two first round

185
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: picks and what you would have done to that extent.

186
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: Other happenings this weekend. FC Cincinnati loses a tough one

187
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: to Toronto. They fell one to nothing yesterday. Did you

188
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: see what the Cincinnati Cyclones did? Did you hear it

189
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: all about the Cyclones game over the weekend? Was it

190
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: the three ways game with the sweater?

191
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 4: No?

192
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: It was after that, Oh, it was after that. They

193
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: went into twenty periods of a shootout. Oh my god,

194
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: a twenty round shootout? Did they really one round shy

195
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: of an all time record? They defeated the Utah Grizzlies

196
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: in a shootout that featured twenty rounds. How about Ken Appleby,

197
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: the goaltender for the Cyclones, stopped eighteen of the twenty

198
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: shots in the shootout.

199
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: Did you say Applebee's yes? Apple bye? Oh apple b

200
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: dang unbelievable. I think both teams should have just agreed

201
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: to shoot one off, you know, shoot one off the side. Yeah,

202
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: just to get to the record. Yep, I agree with that. Well,

203
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: you know, I guess some things are bigger than sports.

204
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, cool cool for the Cyclones. Who did

205
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: you say they played Utah the Utah Grizzlies. Yes, they

206
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: play games against teams in Utah. Yes, I didn't think

207
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 3: they traveled that far. Yes, Wow, they beat Utah. I'm

208
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: learning a lot so every time I go. They played

209
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: the Toledo Walleye. I know that's the team they've played

210
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: every time I've went for the last twenty years.

211
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: Shocked me that they didn't have that against Toledo. We'll

212
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: recap the Reds weekend. That was Opening Day news coming

213
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: down yesterday Andrew Abbott, I think expected we'll have the

214
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: ball on opening Day against the Boston Red Sox, and

215
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: I believe Austin based on what we heard last week.

216
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: Tomorrow is when we should get some kind of update

217
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: on Hunter Green. Is that still the timeline.

218
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: As far as I know, Yes, we'll learn more about

219
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: a Hunter Green tomorrow. He had come back to Cincinnati

220
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: and saw doctor Krimchek and then went back out to

221
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: Los Angeles to talk to doctor Neil Elatrosh and now

222
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: probably working with the Reds to come up with a

223
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: plan and then that will more than likely provide some

224
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: sort of insight as to what it is going forward tomorrow.

225
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: My assumption is going to be that he starts the

226
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: season on the eye.

227
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine that.

228
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: And on Friday, Charlie did shed a little bit of

229
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: light on the timeline that basically the Reds have known

230
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: about this the whole time, and the first time they

231
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: chose that rest waited a month after the season, got

232
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: a shot, rested it, and things were good up until

233
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: about a week before spring training. So I guess the

234
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: options are do that again and see if it gets better,

235
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 3: or go in and scope.

236
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: Out and we'll see in July or whatever it might be.

237
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on that all things Hunter Green, It's

238
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: a Monday, which means we'll throw a new mock draft

239
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Monday out there for the Cincinnati Bengals. And I know

240
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: we're still in the early stages of at Austin, but

241
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: the scenes from the ballparks and the games right now

242
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: in the World Baseball Classic I think have been phenomenal.

243
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: I agree the atmospheres are awesome. Watching Kyle Schwarber step

244
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: up to the plate and hit a bomb on Saturday

245
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: night was awesome. It just like there are so many

246
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: high like the plays Manny Machado made a third the

247
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: other night. Did you see those back to back? Yeah, ridiculous,

248
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: But to me, it's everything good about baseball that sometimes

249
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: I think Major League Baseball fails to capture, and that

250
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: is you can see the passion from these fan bases

251
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: when you look inside these ballparks. I think it's been

252
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: awesome to watch and I continue to want to tune in.

253
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: I know USA tonight has a big one at eight

254
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: pm against Mexico, who beat Great Britain and Brazil to

255
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: start their World Baseball Classic, the two teams that the

256
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: Americans have also beat to start their World Baseball Classic.

257
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, they're in pool play together, so all those

258
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: teams play each other. Did you see the nuke that

259
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber hit, Yeah the other day Saturday night, pretty ridiculous.

260
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Say that. I saw a tweet on him. It pulled up,

261
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: But it was all the home runs that Kyle Schwarber

262
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: has hit, like World Series home run, every home run

263
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: in every big game that he's hit. Now he crosses

264
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic off. Yeah, and I also scial Middletown.

265
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: You know Trek school ball, first pitch of the game

266
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: gives up a bomb yep, which you know he did

267
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: that against Cleveland in the playoffs too, which is kind

268
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: of crazy. But now apparently he wants to stick around.

269
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I guess been talking to the Tigers like, hey,

270
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: I like this, I want to do this. Let me

271
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: make another start for Team US. He got caught up

272
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: in it. It's been cool to see, like the way

273
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: that they those guys because I didn't realize this going

274
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: in that so many of them played together coming up,

275
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: like Paul Skeens and Pete crow Er Armstrong and so

276
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: those other case they all played on the youth national

277
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: teams coming up.

278
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: So that's been cool to see.

279
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: And you know, the excitement around every single one of

280
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: those teams. I mean there have been some good games

281
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: like h but we talked about how terrible they were

282
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: they went out won their first game. Yeah, it's just

283
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: kind of hard to believe, but yeah, man, it's been fun.

284
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: It is Uh yeah, I don't know, there's something about it,

285
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: and there's something about the like I said, just the

286
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: the the countries and the power behind that and and

287
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: just the passion that you can see inside these stadiums.

288
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: It's I'm sure it'll be the same with USA and

289
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: Mexico tonight. But shout out to the world Baseball class

290
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640

00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: I don't know yet.

292
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: You know, the real star of the weekend has been

00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: that and more next on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports

314
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: Station thanks to Skyline CHILEI.

315
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: Time.

316
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: The defense this spread is Thorton Bull's update. Bruce the

317
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: all time in the history to the high help State

318
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: fanskipball get on a dead ball.

319
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 6: They may stop this game.

320
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: And celebrate him. How about Brucey bruce Man Bruce Bruce

321

322
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: win for the Buckeyes. Holds up and.

323
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: Banged a three and sent the place into pandemonium.

324
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: That game, along with many other Saturday, made the uc

325
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: loss that much worse because it felt like every Bubble

326
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: team that needed to lose lost opened up the door.

327
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: Bearcats were not able to kick the door in. As

328
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: mentioned in the first segment, some Bearcats already making moves

329
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: in the NFL, though, Travis Kelce is back for his

330
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: fourteenth year to the Kansas City Chiefs and one one

331
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: hundred and sixteen million dollars over four years for former

332
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: Bearcat Alec Pierce. In the Indianapolis colt.

333
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 3: That was Fox Sports Gus Johnson got the call of

334
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 3: Bruce Thornton breaking the all time scoring record at Ohio stated,

335
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: I was at that game. It was an electric environment.

336
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: That was the first ever Ohio State men's basketball game

337
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: I've ever been to. Wow, And I don't know that

338
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: I can beat that one. And you got the Bible

339
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: to bludgeon them. The way that they did shoot lights

340
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: out from three. Get a Bruce Thornton bobblehead was awesome

341
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: and in the buck, guys are probably gonna make the tournament.

342
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: I was saying, presumably punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament.

343
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 3: For the first time in Bruce Thornton's long careers that

344
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: he's been able to do that. By the way, you

345
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: were talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, m oh, the

346
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs have made.

347
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: A move, Okay.

348
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: Sources tell the insiders on NFL Network that Super Bowl

349
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 3: MVP Kenneth Walker is headed to Kansas City to be

350
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: the Chiefs new running back.

351
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

352
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: Now, a lot of mock drafts have shown the Chiefs

353
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: taking Jeremiah Love at number nine right before the Bengals.

354
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: I've read recently some people don't think Jeremiah Love is

355
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: going to get out of the top five. Yeah, so

356
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: Kansas City not going to mess with fire. They take

357
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP from just a month ago. Busy,

358
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: busy start to legal tampering for the Kansas City Chiefs.

359
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: Tampering is happening, right, Bengals, thankfully, Bengals just kind of

360
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 3: laying in the weeds right now. Well, they're not going

361
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 3: to sit on their hands, correct, which is it's kind

362
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: of a big deal.

363
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they didn't sit on their hands Austin when

364
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: it came to Max Crosby either, because what we've on

365
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: our hands. Yes, what we learned is that the Bengals

366
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: at least kicked the tires on the Max Crosby deal. Yeah. Now,

367
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: if you missed it, the Baltimore Ravens land Max Crosby

368
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: and in return, the Baltimore Ravens give up two future

369
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: first round picks, one this year, one in twenty twenty seven.

370
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: Now I get there are questions and you say, well

371
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: the production is he really worth two first round picks

372
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: in my in my view, I say yes, because he's

373
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: the proven commodity and in Cincinnati, the draft picks are

374
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: on guaranteed. We've seen that, and that's true all the

375
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: way across the NFL. There are hits and there are

376
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: misses in the NFL draft, and for the Bengals there

377
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: have been more misses than hits in recent years. So yes,

378
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: the question that I got was would you have been

379
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: okay giving up two first round picks for Max Crosby?

380
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: The windows now, the super Bowl time is now. I

381
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: would have given up two first round picks for Max Crosby.

382
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: I know there are thoughts of others that wouldn't have.

383
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: But I applaud to Baltimore Ravens for identifying a big

384
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: weakness on the team and going in on a guy

385
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: like Max Crosby to help that defense. You think I

386
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: would think Austin a guy like Jesse Minner and how

387
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: he's going to utilize a Max Crosby is a big

388
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: thing as well. But let me just let's start with that.

389
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: The asking price Baltimore giving up two first round picks.

390
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: If the shoe was on the other foot and the

391
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: announcement was the Bengals land Max Crosby and they give

392
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: up two first round picks, would you have been on

393
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: board with that.

394
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: No, I would not have. Okay, I think that is

395
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: too steep of a price to pay. I think he

396
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: fits in. It makes a lot of sense for Baltimore.

397
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: They already have Kyle Hamilton, He's an All Pro. They

398
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 3: have good players up front. They need help, obviously in

399
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: a lot of different parts of their defense, but they

400
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: already have pieces that you can plug Max Crosby into.

401
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: We had this argument, or not necessarily argument. We had

402
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 3: this discussion about Trey Henderson where he had seventeen and

403
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 3: a half sacks and led the NFL as a runner

404
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: up a Defensive Player of the Year. The Bengals were

405
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: the thirty first ranked defense in the NFL. I think

406
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: you'd be doing the same thing with Max Crosby. Now,

407
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: would you improve your run defense, absolutely, Would you create

408
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: a problem for defense for offenses to work against every

409
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: single week? Absolutely you would. But when you have so

410
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 3: many other other holes to fill, I don't think that

411
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: Crosby for two first round picks, especially because of the

412
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: financial implications of his contract, would have made sense for

413
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: the Bengals. Do you know what if the Bengals were

414
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: further along in the build and that the defense felt

415
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: like maybe it was one or two pieces away, then yes,

416
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: but not when it's four or five pieces away.

417
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: I think that makes sense. I think I get that part.

418
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: But I also think that Crosby crosses another thing off

419
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: the box. And I saw Dan Orlovsky mentioned this over

420
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 2: the weekend as well. He brings an edge with his

421
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: game as well, a nastiness, and I think that's that's

422
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: how your defense wants to be to be handled. Orlofsky

423
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: said he brings a nasty edge to the Baltimore Ravens defense.

424
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bengals have that. And as good

425
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: as Hendrickson was, I don't think he brought that. There

426
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: is a there's an aura in a in a way

427
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: in which Max Crosby carries himself that I think the

428
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: rest of a defense will feed off of and and

429
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: and look strictly, strictly from a Cincinnati Bengals point of view,

430
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 2: you are gonna see Miles Garrett, T. J. Watt and

431
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 2: Max Crosby now six times in the regular season. I

432
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: mean that was essentially I believe what Jamar Chase and

433
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: his reaction was on his Twitch account over the weekend.

434
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's difficult to have to game plan

435
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 3: around great players six times a year like.

436
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: The Bengals are going to have to do. They're talking about,

437
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: argably three of the top what five pass rushers in

438
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: the NFL.

439
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not all that different. I mean

440
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: they've been doing it against Watton and Garrett for the

441
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 3: last couple of years, So here's two more against Baltimore.

442
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: And you know, part of the reason why Baltimore is

443
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: building their team the way they are is because they

444
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: have given up a ton of points to the Bengals

445
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: in recent years. And now, obviously the last game when

446
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: it was about two degrees, they gave up none and

447
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 3: Burrow played horribly. But games like the Thanksgiving game, Thursday

448
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: Night game, I guess all the Thursday night games where

449
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: the Bengals to go to Baltimore for the last couple

450
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: of years. But also I think back to when Steve Bescatti,

451
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: the owner of the Ravens, had that press conference and

452
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: he's like, I want to win a couple of Super

453
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: Bowls and get out of here. And he put a

454
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 3: lot of blame on his GM Eric DaCosta. It was like, listen, man, like,

455
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: he's very well aware of the things he has done

456
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: that has screwed up, and so instead of waiting around

457
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: and maybe you know, he's not going to be around

458
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: to use that first round pick next year, so I'm

459
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: going to trade it now and make my team better immediately.

460
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: He's working with urgency, and you would like to see

461
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 3: the Bengals work with urgency at that level as well.

462
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: It should be very similar. It should be that if

463
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: you don't produce this year, you're not going to be

464
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: here to make these decisions in the future. Duke Tobin's

465
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: job should be on the line, and so because of that,

466
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 3: he should be acting with urgency to try to win now.

467
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 3: I just don't know if that's going to be the

468
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: case with the Bengals. I hope it is. That's what

469
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: I think is going on in Baltimore.

470
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: Which is wild. I don't want to say this.

471
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: Max Crosby is twenty nine years old, he's he's had

472
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: a couple of knee surgeries. Now he is a guy

473
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: who has an edge. If you read that Mike' silver

474
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: piece in the Athletic last week last year, he very

475
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: clearly does not care about hitting the quarterback. He hits

476
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 3: the quarterback in practice and yells at the coaches if

477
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: they get mad at him. Number one, that's a bad teammate.

478
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: Number Two, I don't want Max Crosby touching Joe Burrow

479
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: in practice. And so, honest to God, the first thing

480
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: I thought of was, dang, that sucks two times a

481
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: year against Max Crosby. Hope he doesn't kill Lamar Jackson

482
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 3: in practice, because that's a possibly like he's not a

483
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: good teammate in that sense.

484
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so, but I think I think the point

485
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: you made us to Baltimore's to they're trying to win

486
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: and he's trying to get out of there. I think

487
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: that's the same mentality the Bengals should have. Absolutely, that's

488
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: how they should operate going forward. By the way, there's

489
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth ranked defense in the National Football League

490
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: last year in Baltimore, but when it came to passing,

491
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: they gave up the second most passing yards per game.

492
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: Did the Baltimore Ravens tied with the Colts only in

493
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: front of the Dallas Cowboys. Max Crosby helps that. Max

494
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: Crosby helps that secondary not have to cover as long

495
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: on the back end, and it will help to a

496
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: run defense that I believe was right around number ten

497
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: in the NFL at one hundred and six point six

498
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: yards per game.

499
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: So would Max Crosby fix Geno Stone? Ooh, no, Okay,

500
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: there's your answer.

501
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: But they do have Kyle ham I think Kyle Hamilton

502
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: won't help that.

503
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: No, But I'm saying, like from a Bengals perspective, people

504
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: want Max Crosby. Does Max Crosby fix Geno Stone? No,

505
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: I think he would help him. Sure, I don't think

506
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: anyone could fix Geno Stone exactly. Does he fix Barrett

507
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: Carter's eyes because Barrett Carter be looking where he ain't

508
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: supposed to be.

509
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: Fix a lot of things? Huh? They got to fix

510
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: a lot.

511
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: Does he does he fix Chris Jenkins being completely useless

512
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: at the point of attack? Maybe he let's Chris Ris

513
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: Jenkins didn't do much when Trey was getting double deemed. No, Oka,

514
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: it is a I I would have welcomed again like

515
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: I did not all this the off seasons over because

516
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: they didn't get Crosby, but I would have I would

517
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 3: have said, Okay, that's a move that next year is

518
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: the ultimate importance for this franchise. And regardless if it's

519
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: Crosby or someone else, to your point about why the

520
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: Ravens did it, it's the same logic that I think

521
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: the Bengal should be uber aggressive going forward. To be clear,

522
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: I would have been thrilled if Max Crosby was a Bengal.

523
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: I just look at that situation in Baltimore and think, yeah,

524
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: that makes more sense than it does here because there

525
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: are still a lot of holes to fill, and even

526
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: with a great pass rusher, for the last several years,

527
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: the Bengals defense has stunk.

528
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: Well said, well, put, let's take a break your reactions

529
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty. We've also

Speaker 7: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.

Speaker 2: They've done it for thirty nine minutes so far. You

541
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: know what's going on. Been sitting on the hands for

542
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: thirty nine minutes. Biggest off season, ready to spend. Let's

543
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: start spending some of the cash, Bengals. Come on, not

544
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: gonna sit on our hands here we are waiting. While

545
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: we wait, let's grab a phone call. Mark is calling in.

546
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: What's up? Mark?

547
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

548
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: Kind of going Tony Pike, what's up?

549
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 8: Yeah? Well, let me ask a Geno Stone question. Okay,

550
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 8: because I'm hoping the Bengals don't make this mistake again.

551
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 8: Like whatever Baltimore was asking him to do in their defense,

552
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 8: he couldn't do in the Bengals defense. I mean, would

553
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 8: it be safe to say that?

554
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

555
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: And I think if you if you go back and

556
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: really dive into what he did for Baltimore, I think

557
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: there's still a reason in which why Baltimore was willing

558
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: to let him go and not sign him back or

559
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: bring him back. I think some of his interceptions were

560
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 2: a little advantageous and what he was able to do so,

561
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: but yeah, I would. I would say that his production

562
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: here did not match what he was able to do

563
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: in Baltimore.

564
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 8: Okay, So I'm hoping that they draft a safety, get

565
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 8: a younger guy in and develop him for how they

566
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 8: want a safety to play inside their defense. And I

567
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 8: think they need to go back to the formula they had,

568
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 8: you know, like when they brought a Woozy A in,

569
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 8: then they bought DJ Reeder in. They didn't bring me

570
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 8: in another linebacker. I would like to see him bring

571
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 8: in another linebacker because to me, on defense, and I'm

572
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 8: just talking about defense, like a Woozy A covered up

573
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 8: Eli Apple and then Jesse Bates covered up bon Bell,

574
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 8: So I think you need when you got positions like

575
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 8: that on defense, and then on a linebacker, I think

576
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 8: I think Logan Wilson probably covered up Jamaine Pratt. Then

577
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 8: you had to take Jamain Pratt off the field on

578
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 8: third downs. But when you got positions where it's two

579
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 8: guys playing, you need one guy to cover up the

580
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 8: other guy. So I would like to see him maybe

581
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 8: sign a linebacker. If it's a good solid cornerback out there,

582
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: I would like to see him make that move too.

583
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 8: And this draft of safety and try to develop them

584
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 8: into the next Jesse Bates because these free agents they've

585
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 8: been bringing in and that position haven't worked. Yeah, So

586
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 8: I was like, like last year they could have got

587
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 8: Vay of your watch and we wouldn't even have to

588
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 8: be having this conversation this year about safety because I

589
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 8: think he would have filled that That boy, you know,

590
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 8: he played for the coordinator in college. So we'll see

591
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 8: what happens. But that was just my take on and

592
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 8: I'll get off and listen to the rest of the show.

593
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: Mark, I appreciate the phone call man. Thank you. We'll

594
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: get back to the phone lines here on our next

595
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: break to finish up hour one uh one. Two things

596
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: here Austin one. We got more NFL news coming down.

Speaker 2: Here we go, There we go. One of the big

598
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: and Rusher targets. Here we Go is off the board.

599
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: We're not sitting on the hands Jalen phil All love

600
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: him and Rusher.

601
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: Formerly of the Miami Dolphins last year the Philadelphia Eagles.

602
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,840

603
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: twenty million dollar deal with eighty million dollars in guarantees

604
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: with the Carolina Panthers. What do we come on, Jalen

605
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 3: Phillips off the board.

606
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: Oh Man, I wouldn't have minded Jalen Phillips either.

607
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: Not the only Jalen to sign. Chiefs Former cornerback Jalen

608
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: Watson has signed with the Los Angeles Rams on a

609
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 3: three year, fifty one million dollar deal. So the Rams

610
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: continue to spend big on the cornerback position. They do

611
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: so with Jalen Watson, former teammate of Trent McDuffie, who

612
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 3: they just signed Trent mcduffee for the trade. Now in

613
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: the AFC North, Okay, the Steelers have been looking for

614
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: a wide receiver.

615
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: Well they got one.

616
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: The Indianapolis Colts are trading wide receiver Michael Pittman June

617
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: year to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts obviously just signed

618
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce to a huge deal. The Colts have a

619
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 3: lot of cap stuff they got to take care of.

620
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: Between now and four o'clock, Michael Pittman Junior, the son

621
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: of former NFL running back Antonio Pittman, goes to the

622
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers.

623
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh gets a receiver. Hmm, okay, Pittsburgh will pair him

624
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: up with DK metcalf I did see something as well,

625
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 2: or for a friend of the show, sam Monson.

626
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: You called him a former friend. Well, he was a

627
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: he was a weekly friend. Yeah, but we haven't we

628
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 3: haven't got to talk to him a friend. He mentioned

629
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: the McDuffie deal. The Rams had a clear issue. It

630
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: was the secondary and as sam Monson tweeted out, the

631
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 3: Rams now have basically no holes on the roster draft

632
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: capital to play with. In a history of trading up

633
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: for players in the last couple of drafts, Rams are

634
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: in a really good spot going into the draft.

635
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

636
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they

637
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 3: try to move up a little from thirteen. I mean,

638
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 3: they're a team that I think is in play to

639
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: like jump right ahead of the Bengals, right ahead of

640
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. Yeah, to try to get that one guy

641
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 3: that they really want.

642
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of the Bengals and Chiefs, let's do this.

643
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: We'll make it a quicker mock draft today, Mock Draft Monday.

644
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: This Austin. There we're gone. Sorry it was me that

645
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: was late. There's in.

646
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: It's time for mock Draft Monday on Cincy three sixty.

647
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 2: All right, So here's what we have. This is Pro

648
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: Football Focus, their latest mock draft. And this was after

649
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: obviously the Crosby News, It's also after the Kansas City

650
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs news. And for the Bengals, it brings in a

651
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: question that I want to ask you here in just

652
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: a moment Pro Football Focus. They're top ten. Fernando Mendoza,

653
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: Rvel Reese to the Jets at too, Francis, I forget

654
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: it every week, Scott Key, Yes, Francis, Scott Key to

655
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: the O. The Cardinals Maui Noah, Malli Noah. The Tennessee

656
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: Titans take David Bailey, the edge rusher from Texas Tech.

657
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: The Giants get Sonny Styles. The Cleveland Brown select wide

658
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: receiver Carnell Tate. Ruben Bain Junior goes to the Washington Commanders.

659
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: The Saints grab Jeremiah Love, and the Chiefs, because they

660
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 2: now have a running back off the board, they go

661
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: get Austin McKay lemon, the wide receiver from USC. Sure,

662
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey is back. You don't know what's going on

663
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: with Rashie Rice. They now have a true running back

664
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: number one in Kenneth Walker. They go get McKay lemon,

665
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: and the Bengals they get safety Caleb Downs. Okay, sign

666
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 2: me up. It says the Bengals haven't had a true

667
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: star safety since they led Jesse Bates walk in twenty

668
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 2: twenty three. In fact, Cincinnati safeties have combined for the

669
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: lowest PFF overall grade the past three years. Downs would

670
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: change the teams to rejectorate that position after earning an

671
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: elite ninety three point six PFF overall great for his

672
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: college career. Now my question to you, and this is

673
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 2: what I've heard as we get into the legal tampering period, here,

674
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: are you okay? If the Bengals were to go get

675
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: a Brian Cook and still draft Caleb Downs with so

676
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: many other holes at different areas of the roster, or

677
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: if they got a safety before the draft, does that

678
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: take them out on Caleb Downs? It shouldn't.

679
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: You should never be afraid to take the best available player,

680
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: and the great chance that at number ten, Caleb Downs

681
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: will be the best available player. I'm a little less

682
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: inclined to do that. If there's still a hole at

683
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: the defensive end position, at the edge spot, and there's

684
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: still good edges available at number ten, I maybe be

685
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: a little bit less inclined to go and get that safety.

686
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: But I don't know how you could you could pass

687
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: up on it, even if you go and sign somebody.

688
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: That's that was my thought is, yeah, it'd be nice.

689
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: But now imagine the luxury on the back end if

690
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: you've got a Caleb Downs and a Brian Cook. I

691
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: don't think you should. I guess what I'm fitting. I

692
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: don't think what happens between now and the draft should

693
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: change their draft strategy. If Caleb Downs is still there

694
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: at ten, go get Caleb Downs. Now, I get like.

695
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: Problems should be that the strategy is always to take

696
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 3: the best player available.

697
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: Sure, and I would get to like, well, if it's

698
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 2: Caleb Downs and Reuben Bain and you signed Brian Cook,

699
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 2: then you go get yes, I'm one hundred percent there.

700
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: What should happen is whatever happens between now and then

701
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: only reinforces that strategy correct is what it should be correct.

702
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: That's what I hope would be happening. They do a

703
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: three round mock draft here Austin, and in the second

704
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: round they have the Bengals going and getting edge rusher

705
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 2: Zion Young from Missouri, so that would address I've seen

706
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 2: a couple of those. And then they go back to

707
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 2: back at Missouri in the third round and get Josiah Trotter,

708
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: the linebacker from Missouri. So uh, the latest mock draft

709

Speaker 7: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.

721
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: Great, what have they done so far? They're still sitting

725
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: start with the biggest fish A lot of people thought

726

732
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 3: His agent is, you know, close with the Bengals, David Mulligan. Meanwhile,

733
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens have re upped their best offensive lineman,

736
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: losing a tight end. Former Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely

737
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: is leaving Baltimore and reuniting with John Harball in New York.

Speaker 3: The Giants have agreed to a three year deal with

739
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 3: former Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely. Meanwhile, Bengals are in

740
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: the market for a defensive tackle. Sure well, the Bears

741

743
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: Galimore recently with the Indianapolis Colts. By the way, that

744
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: Colts trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are giving

745
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,200

Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cap space at

749
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,000

Speaker 3: cleaned up by four o'clock on Wednesday. That trade with

751
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,160

00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, future all pro Joseph Osai.

779
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 3: And the Jets just signed another pass rusher, a guy

780
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 3: that was linked to the Bengals last week, Kingsley annik

781
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 3: Bare from the Green Bay Packers. He goes to the Jets.

782
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: Just one year, ten million dollars. Okay, so that was

783
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: a name I would have liked to see the Bengals

784
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: make a move on. He goes to the Jets. So

785
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 3: back to back edge rusher signings. For the Jets and

786
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 3: their defensive minded head coach who's superpower is play calling?

787
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: What about it? Okay? What about any detackles, any any

788
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: of those out there? Yeah?

789
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 3: What about a guy by the name of John Ridgeway.

790
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 3: What's kind of interested in him?

791
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 2: Sure?

792
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 3: Well, too bad, he's going to New Orleans Saints. Okay,

793
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 3: two years, six and a half million dollars. Okay, John Ridgeway.

794
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 2: I like it like a jungle, like a cat in

795
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 2: the jungle, just laying in wait right now are the Bengals.

796
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 7: We are certainly not gonna sit on our hands.

797
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: Waiting to attack, poised to make the first big splash

798
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 2: of the Bengals. We'll tell you when that's gonna happen.

799
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: Let's take a phone call. Greg Is calling in. Hello, Greg, Hey,

800
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: how's it going.

801
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 5: Let's tell you know, I was sitting on my hand

802
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 5: till the show came on. So now the show came on,

803
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 5: I'm fired up. But you know, uh, like on Max Crosby,

804
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 5: like man, I'd love to name him on the team,

805
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 5: but just like Austin, not for two first rounders.

806
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 10: But then what you were.

807
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 5: Talking about, you know, the fire he brings to the

808
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 5: defense and and the reason I'm bringing up the last

809
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 5: few years. My two favorite defensive players are Aaron Donald

810
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 5: Chris Jones. Those are two guys, you know, they're not

811
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 5: only you know, got that attitude, but they elevate the

812
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 5: rest of the guys. And that that's what I like.

813
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 5: When I'm actually going back those too. One of my

814
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 5: favorite Bangles of all time was U Tim crumraight and

815
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 5: in the eighties I had like lower red seats, you know,

816
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 5: in the in the top deck up there, and you

817
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 5: watch him sideline the sideline, raising hell with guys if

818
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 5: they weren't doing their job. I guess what I'm saying.

819
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 5: The Max Cross, you know, I love somebody like Max

820
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 5: Cross me just the fact that he could, you know,

821
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 5: an Aaron Donald type of Chris Jones type that he

822
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 5: and elevate the rest of the guys. That probably better.

823
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 5: So anyway, I got all right, buddy.

824
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: Appreciate and again like there's other players like that, Austin.

825
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: But I thought one of the things that this Bengals

826
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: defense missed last year and lacked significantly was an edge

827
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: about him. And again, does one player change that? Maybe not,

828
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: but far too often last year it felt like this

829
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: defense was just kind of content with how things were.

830
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 2: There wasn't the pushback, There wasn't the blow ups or

831
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: the player that you saw like, Okay, that's not going

832
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: to continue under this player's watch. And again, there are

833
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: more players like that, and I think of guys in

834
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: the pasts. It doesn't need to be a star. I

835
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: thought for a time I thought that was DJ Reader.

836
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: I thought he brought a presence to him and a

837
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: presence to this defense. You could say that about Jesse Bates.

838
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: You could talk it at different levels. I think they

839
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: severely missed that last year, and I don't know, as

840
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: the defense sits today who that player would be.

841
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: And we've heard them say a lot about leadership and

842
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 3: talking about who's going to be the person who leads

843
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: from the front in that room. I mean DJ Turner

844
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: has taken some strides there and that may be somebody,

845
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: But like Logan Wilson did not end up being that

846
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: guy because he wasn't on the field last year. He

847
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 3: couldn't play anymore. Trey Hendrickson has never been a leader

848
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 3: and certainly wasn't last year with the stuff he pulled

849
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 3: in the offseason. Didn't play and wasn't really around the

850
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 3: team that much. So because of that, you know, it

851
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 3: makes you wonder where are they gonna find that leadership?

852
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: And some guys out there, like to Mario Davis, like

853
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner, like Kalais Campbell, feels like they can come

854
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: in right away, set an edge, set the tone, and

855
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: be someone that can that these other young players can

856
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: cling to, much like von Bell was several years ago

857
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 3: when he came in from New Orleans. The bad news

858
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 3: is the Mario Davis isn't going to be available because

859
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 3: he too, is going to the New York Jets. Linebacker

860
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 3: d Mario Davis, who has a history with Bengals linebacker

861
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 3: coach Mike Hodges. He is signing with the New York

862
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 3: Jets on a two year, twenty two million dollar deal

863
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 3: that includes fifteen million fully guaranteed.

864
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: And again it's another position of need.

865
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 3: Three guys that I felt like would have been good

866
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 3: fits for the Bengals, I mean Osai, however you want

867
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 3: to view that.

868
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 2: I get that, but it's in a position of desperate need.

869
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 3: For this team absolutely absolutely and checks the boxes of

870
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 3: leadership and you know, a good tackler and can help

871
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 3: those young players.

872
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 2: Say what you want about how they were. But edge

873
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: rusher is a significant need for this team, and in

874
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: the last week they've lost two of them, Trey Hendrickson

875
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: and Joseph Osai. And again I don't want to I

876
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: get that there's plenty of players still out there. But

877
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: at noon today Austin, it started the legal tampering period.

878
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: But it also started the watch on the Joe Burrow tenure.

879
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: Right like, this is a defense and a team that

880
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 2: needs to be much more competent than they were last year.

881
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: And we talked about it last week. Joe Burrow is

882
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: going to be watching on how this unfolds, how the

883
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: front office deals with this, how the front office deals

884
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: with what the upcoming weeks are going to have. It's

885
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 2: big now because of the way in which we talked

886
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 2: to Joe Burrow last year and the way in which

887
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: you said, yeah, he was having a bad day at

888
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: the wrong time. That's fine, but you have to operate

889
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 2: in the sense that you don't want to play with

890
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: fire around Joe Burrow.

891
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 3: I think of that video from over the weekend where

892
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is playing Arc Raiders on his Twitch account

893
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 3: and the news comes through that.

894
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: The Ravens signed.

895
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 3: Who do you get the news from Max Crosby and

896
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 3: says Joe Burrow just texted me. Can you imagine the

897
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 3: conversations between those too, the two that are the face

898
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 3: of the franchise. They are the face of sports in

899
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 3: this town, alongside Elie de la Cruz, and they are

900
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 3: the future of the Bengals. Their career is tied to this,

901
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: their chance. I mean, we talk all the time about

902
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 3: people like Willie Anderson or Ken Anderson or Geno Atkins

903
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 3: down the road, guys that you want to get into

904
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

905
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

906
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 3: Like winning is part of the equation, and these guys

907
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 3: have those types of goals and more than anything, you

908
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 3: got to be able to just win games to get

909
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 3: back to the postseason. And I'm not saying that the

910
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: Bengals can't still sign guys that are going to have

911
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: a positive impact. They still can. But to your point,

912
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 3: this reinforces the idea the importance of this offseason internally

913
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 3: to the players.

914
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: I expected today to be a little different. I expected

915
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 2: us to already have some sort of news from the Bengals.

916
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: I did too. I thought there'd be at least one

917
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: in the first and again, like even if it wasn't that,

918
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 2: what did we see before noon started today? Micka Fitzpatrick

919
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: is dealt for a seventh round pick position of need

920
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 2: pro Bowl player. Say what you want about Rashan Gary,

921
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 2: and maybe it was too high fourth round pick for

922
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: Rashan Gary. You could have got that done before legal

923
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 2: Tampa and even started. They sat on their hands there

924
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 2: and for an hour and nine minutes today so far

925
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: the Bengals have still sat on their hand And to

926
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 2: the point you made, Austin, it's not like quarterbacks and

927
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: wide receiver. It's positions that the Bengals are desperately in

928
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: need of that have gone elsewhere. You mentioned it yourself.

929
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 2: There been three names now in the last twenty minutes

930
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: of players that had made sense or you could have

931
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 2: seen making sense with the Bengals that have gone elsewhere.

932
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 3: And you know some of these numbers too, like the

933
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 3: Jalen Phillips contract Joseph I think is a smidge pricey,

934
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: Like it's the price tags are high for Ed Rusher specifically,

935
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 3: it is uh. But I will say this, I mean

936
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 3: guys that you know if you would have told me

937
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the day, the Bengals have a

938
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 3: chance at these dudes. They're still available. Brian cook O'daffeyoway,

939
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 3: LEAs Chanel, Jakwan Brisker, Kobe Bryant, boy A, Mafe, Nick Cross,

940
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 3: Devin Bush. Sure, like you know, a lot of those

941
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 3: dudes are still available. So I'm trying not to get

942
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 3: you know, and Bengals fans should not necessarily be upset.

943
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 3: But you look at that and say, okay, well, these

944
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 3: are guys that could help the team. I hope the

945
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 3: Bengals have something in mind.

946
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just again, I'll give them the benefit of

947
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 2: the doubt because we have time. But I expected the

948
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 2: first hour plus of today, based on how last year unfolded,

949
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: based on the Joe Burrow effect, based on what this

950
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 2: window is and all the money that they have, I

951
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 2: would have expected the first hour and ten minutes to

952
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 2: go vastly different than what we've heard today, which is nothing.

953
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 2: Especially on the heels of what we found out over

954
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: the weekend. The Baltimore Ravens made themselves better for twenty

955
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 2: twenty six. Say what you want about them giving up

956
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 2: the picks, They've made themselves better. The Pittsburgh Steelers today

957
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: have added a much needed wide receiver Number two in

958
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman to go alongside of DK Metcalf. That is

959
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: a position of need for the Pittsburgh Steelers that they

960
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 2: filled the Kansas City Chiefs. Who is the team that

961
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 2: you are regardless of the Chiefs made the playoffs or

962
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: not last year, when it's Joe Burrow and when it's

963
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, you will continuously be tied to the organization

964
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 2: that is the Kansas City Chiefs. They already went out

965
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 2: today they re signed multi time Super Bowl champion, multi

966
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 2: time All Pro Travis Kelcey to his fourteenth year. And oh,

967
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 2: by the way, they went and we got the most

968
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 2: valuable player in this year's Super Bowl in Kenneth Walker.

969
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: Paid a lot of money for him. Sure, but they did. Sure,

970
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 2: but why did they do it? You mentioned a lot

971
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 2: of people thought Jeremiah Love. They didn't want to take

972
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: the gamble that Jeremiah Love wasn't there at number nine

973
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 2: and they were not without a back.

974
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 3: And even the team that just represented the AFC in

975
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, the Patriots, they went out and sign

976
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 3: an ed rusher right away with Draymond Jones.

977
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 2: Yep. It is it's a hard pill to swallow when

978
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 2: there is so much that this roster needs to have

979
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 2: in place and the money to do it. It's not

980
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 2: like they've had to go through cap hurdles. It's not

981
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: like they've had to renegotiate contracts. They have had the

982
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: ultimate luxury. They've had the time to assess how bad

983
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: the defense was. They knew they weren't making the playoffs,

984
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: they knew that this is going to be a big offseason.

985
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 2: And regardless of what you thought about Trey Hendrickson or

986
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 2: not he played a position of value, made the decision.

987
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 2: Good with it. Move on from Trey Hendrickson. That's fine.

988
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 2: Joseph Osai. Okay, do you really want to pay twelve

989
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: million a year for Joseph Osai? I get that in

990
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: a vacuum, but at some point you're gonna have to

991
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: start paying some of these players. Two defensive ends from

992
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 2: last year's atrocious defense are not with this team anymore.

993
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 2: They have not upgraded at any position, in my opinion,

994
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 2: at all, in the offseason. Sure, they got the number

995
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 2: ten pick in the draft, what else where is this team, Austin?

996
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: Are they better in any spot right now than they

997
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 2: were last year? No? And again, an hour and thirteen

998
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 2: minutes into legal tampering. They're not better. They didn't make

999
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: any significant trade when others did make a Fitzpatrick today

1000
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: for a seventh, Rashaun Gary for a fourth. There are

1001
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 2: options to be had out there, and I think it's

1002
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: to your point, Austin, it's not like the names are

1003
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 2: gone now. There are still prominent names at safety and

1004
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 2: defensive line and linebacker that the Bengals could go out

1005
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: and sign, and in an hour from now we're talking

1006
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: about Okay, Bengals figured it out, Bengals addressed some needs,

1007
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: Bengals got into the game. But we are in a

1008
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: very reactionary time and we're reacting to nothing at this point,

1009
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: nothing from the Cincinnati Bengals. We've had some hands news

1010
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 2: out of the AFC North, news elsewhere that is happening.

1011
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 3: Speaking of the AFC North, you know the Steelers went

1012
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 3: out earlier today and traded for Michael Pittman Jr. You

1013
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: know who the Steelers leading receiver was a year ago,

1014
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 3: m Kenneth Gainwell. Yeah, he led the team in receptions.

1015
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 3: Kenneth Gainwell has just signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1016
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 3: There we go two years, fourteen million dollars for Kenneth Gainwell,

1017
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 3: he'll be paired up with Bucky Irving.

1018
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: And Kate Oughten's back for the box. Kate Oughten returns

1019
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, so again I were waiting and waiting patiently,

1020
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: but other teams have already done it. I mentioned earlier,

1021
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 2: and I'll go back because we kind of glossed over

1022
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 2: it what the Rams did with not only getting McDuffie,

1023
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: but then making him the highest paid corner. They go

1024
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 2: out and they get former Kansas City corner Jalen Watson Austin.

1025
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: What was the Rams' biggest weakness last year that probably

1026
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: kept them from a Super Bowl. They couldn't cover JSN,

1027
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 2: couldn't cover anyone. So what have they done? They've taken

1028
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: care of that. They still have a first round draft pick,

1029
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: they still have the nucleus and the core of their

1030
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: team coming back, and they have addressed their biggest weakness.

1031
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore has lost pun Jordan Stout to the New York

1032
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: Giants three year, twelve point three million dollar deal. Jordan

1033
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: Stout now the NFL's highest paid punter. He reunites with

1034
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: John Harball and uh in New York. Meanwhile, Alex Angeloni,

1035
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 3: that's a line he signs a two year, seventeen million

1036
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 3: dollar deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alex and I'm

1037
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 3: just get goes to Tampa. Now, I don't I wasn't

1038
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 3: crazy about Angeloni and Cincinnati, but that is a position

1039
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: that you keep an eye out on. By the way,

1040
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 3: the Patriots have agreed to terms with the fullback Reggie

1041
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 3: Gillam three year deal worth up to twelve million dollars

1042
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 3: six full fully guaranteed for Reggie Gillum to the New

1043
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 3: England Patriots. He goes from Buffalo to New England.

1044
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: Here we go. Uh, that is the latest to cross

1045
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 2: the National Football League.

1046
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 7: Our hands.

1047
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're not gonna do that here. We're gonna

Speaker 3: let's let's do that before we get to talkbacks.

1078
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the time we get finished with talkbacks, which

1079
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 2: is normally like a fifteen ish minute segment, or so. Yeah,

1080
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 2: a little longer than that.

1081
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the Bengals have made any move, I'm gonna say, yes, Okay,

Speaker 14: Hello.

1084
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 11: This is former President Ronald Reagan and the Wheel. Today's

1085
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 11: featured Cincinnati rid is former utility and fielder Rick Hourback.

1086
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 11: Hourback played with the team from nineteen seventy seven to

1087
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 11: nineteen eighty. Hourback was a very weak hitter, But this

1088
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 11: weekend I was reminded of the power hour Back still

1089
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 11: shows every spring when we move the clocks forward, we'll

1090
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 11: just never get that hour back.

1091
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: It's nicely done. I like name humor. By the way, Yes,

1092
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 2: those clocks changing that always messes with me. I have

1093
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 2: never really Sunday was a rough one struggled with, not

1094
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 2: only for me but with the kids.

1095
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 3: It's not good for bad times. I have heard that

1096
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: for kids it's pretty brutal. And dogs, dogs.

1097
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Like, why am I not outside yet?

1098
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 15: NFL free agency tamper in the period it is upon us,

1099
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 15: ladies and gentlemen. Come on, Bengals, get out there and

1100
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 15: make some moves. Go stand on business.

1101
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 2: And stand that my nag. There we go, all right,

1102
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: we're still waiting part time.

1103
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 16: Pike it up, man, it's your boy's Silverton.

1104
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:35,439
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1105
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 16: It's not every day you get to meet the local

1106
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 16: legend of Cincinnati just randomly at Mattrie. But I did

1107
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 16: on Friday when I bumped into Austin no more talk

1108
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 16: some ball, gave him a banner idea. I think we

1109
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 16: should start bringing back the banners boys. Other than that,

1110
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 16: it was a good time me and Austin. He's not

1111
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 16: moved up to number one on my list of guys

1112
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 16: on fifteen thirty, Tony, Yeah.

1113
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 3: I forgot to mention this. I did get to meet

1114
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 3: Alex and Silverton on Friday at at matt Tree. And

1115
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 3: also the other guy who says I'm blanking on his name.

1116
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 3: I want to say, it's like Matt or Jake or something.

1117
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 3: I know he's a Packers fan. I'm sorry I forget

1118
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 3: your name. But yeah, I did get to meet Alex

1119
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: Silverton very Russian beers, and I was the one who

1120
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 3: got to break the news to them about Max Crosby,

1121
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Oh in person.

1122
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a big time.

1123
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 17: Hey guys, Jeff and you Richmond happy tampering mondays you both.

1124
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 4: Hey, listen.

1125
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 17: So I think this could go one of two ways.

1126
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 17: Either the Bengals will come out guns of blazon or

1127
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 17: they're going to piss us off and look very passive

1128
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 17: in this process. Jamar Chase came out over the weekend

1129
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 17: was not happy at all that Max Crosby is in.

1130
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: The AFC North.

1131
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 17: So this could be an interesting ride the next few days.

1132
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so far it's been a It's been like a

1133
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 2: kiddie ride at King's Island, not a roller coaster. Today.

1134
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 18: It's got happy Monday, everybody. Is it true that the

1135
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 18: Bengals are looking at getting Jalen Carter from the Philadelphia

1136
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 18: Eagles and offering up their first round pick? Is this

1137
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 18: would you consider an all in type of move for

1138
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 18: the Bengals because it seems the rest of the teams

1139
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 18: and DFC North are going all in.

1140
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: All I would say is whenever the Eagles call you

1141
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 3: about a player.

1142
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 2: Yep, I wouldn't touch them. You're about to get fleeced.

1143
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. You're about to get fleeced.

1144
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 19: Yeah, this is jam and Melford.

1145
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 12: I think that you see Natesta extend west Miller.

1146
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 20: Choad was talking about it the other day.

1147
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: The donors like him.

1148
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 4: Uh, maybe the Bengals good trade for Patrick Mahomes and

1149
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 4: we could run a two quarterback backfield.

1150
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: Wow, what do you guys saying? I like that Jim

1151
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 2: makes Jim way to think outside the box.

1152
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 21: Not overly worried about Crosby, but I would trade this

1153
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 21: year's second and next year's one for Jalen Carter.

1154
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 13: Seems like there's no way that they pay Jordan Davis

1155
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:29,919
Speaker 13: that they.

1156
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 2: Can keep him. I could definitely go after him. Okay, yeah,

1157
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 2: I mean I don't hate it. I don't hate it.

1158
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 3: It just it just makes me nervous because he's you

1159
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 3: want to talk about there's some character concerns there with

1160
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter.

1161
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 22: Hey, Tony, I know you like background noises, So see

1162
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 22: if you can guess this one. That's me sitting on

1163
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 22: my hands.

1164
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 7: You're certainly not gonna sit on our hands.

1165
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1166
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 4: Oh they kick the tires on Max Crosby. Oh well, shoot,

1167
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 4: now that I know that they at least kick the

1168
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 4: tires on him, I can sleep at night. Good job

1169
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 4: Bengals for at least kicking the tires. But urgency and Bengals,

1170
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 4: those two things don't go together, and they never have,

1171
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 4: and it's just hilarious that we're still having the same

1172
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 4: conversation about they need to have urgency in twenty twenty six.

1173
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 4: To be a fan of this team, It's almost like

1174
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 4: you have to accept that they're not going to care

1175
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 4: to win as much as a fan.

1176
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 2: There's plenty of time left today.

1177
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 4: It's just so frustrating to see all these defensive players

1178
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 4: keep falling to other teams, Trent McDuffie and Rashaun Gary

1179
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 4: and Max Crosby, and we have to be stuck with well,

1180
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 4: we're kicking the tires on all these guys. I don't

1181
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 4: know why we're not getting them. At least we're kicking

1182
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 4: the tires.

1183
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 2: What's up?

1184
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 23: Fellas is chatting the Dame, long time listener, first time talkbacker.

1185
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Whoa Audi?

1186
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 23: If you want ice cream sandwich, have Tony take you

1192
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,400

1193
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:23,000

1196
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,160

1197
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 3: Oh, you knew what he was talking about. Now, I

1198
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 3: usually just get ice cream when i'm there, of course. Yeah,

1199
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 3: shock or vanilla, no sprinkles. Yeah, I listen. I would

1200
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 3: go on a tour of ice cream around the tri State.

1201
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 3: That's I have no problem. I'm told we're having an

1202
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 3: ice cream party today. Oh yeah, I don't know if

1203
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 3: you saw.

1204
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 2: That or not. Does that an email? Yeah, you definitely

1205
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 2: didn't see it. No, didn't get it.

1206
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 3: He was part of your uh signing bonus that you're

1207
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 3: not on company emails anymore.

1208
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 2: Yep.

1209
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 24: Hey, guys, TJ I want the Bangle to be uber

1210
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 24: aggressive too, But if I was GM, I don't think

1211
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 24: i'd shell out two first rounders. Though, with the addition

1212
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 24: of Max double x Crosby to the Watt and Garrett lineup,

1213
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 24: would you guys sign or draft another stout o line guy.

1214
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 24: Even though, like Riisener and the airline improvement in the

1215
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 24: second half of the year, I'm not sold that the

1216
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 24: airline is quite as bullish as I should be.

1217
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: I'd like to.

1218
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 24: See one or more solid offensive Lineman, either through a

1219
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 24: trade or draft, if someone fits with the priorities.

1220
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: Obviously being load up on defense. Is our airline deeper

1221
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 2: and better than I'm giving it credit for.

1222
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 3: No, they need to sign offensive line. Yeah, they definitely

1223
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 3: need to sign depth at that position. In a perfect world,

1224
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 3: they do all the right things and they take a

1225
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 3: tackle number ten in my opinion, but I don't think.

1226
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 2: That would require them to get a lot done between

1227
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 2: now and then. There is Man, it was great see

1228
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:57,879
Speaker 2: any one Friday.

1229
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 12: Anyways, we see Joe Burrow taking Jessica Alba out in

1230
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 12: Las Vegas. What he should have been into an in

1231
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 12: Las Vegas was meeting with Max Crosby.

1232
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 2: Guess he wants a girlfriend over some defensive end.

1233
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:13,839
Speaker 12: Have a good day, gentleman.

1234
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 2: Man.

1235
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,600
Speaker 3: I was disappointed to see that it is not true

1236
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 3: that Joe Burrow is not dating Jessica Alba, because if

1237
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 3: he was, I mean, you want to talk about assembling

1238
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 3: the final Infinity Stone or whatever those things are called.

1239
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: They could have set out the rest of free agency.

1240
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: Ah Lee, Has.

1241
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 20: Anybody called down the pay Course stadium and given them

1242
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 20: a heads up that they can now talk and sign players.

1243
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: I believe they are aware.

1244
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 25: Come on, Bengals, do not sit on your hands. The

1245
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 25: Miami U game, that crowd was maybe calm down just

1246
01:10:54,520 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 25: a little bit. Congratulations Miami Norse to blank up beat

1247
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 25: the Raiders tonight. Come on, Bengals, do me a favor.

1248
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 25: Signed some defensive players.

1249
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Now that we got it from loud talk back, then,

1250
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 2: I know what it is. This has happened to me

1251
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:14,759
Speaker 2: in the past.

1252
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 18: They forgot that it was spring forward and sent your

1253
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 18: clocks an hour ahead.

1254
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 7: Jesus, we should have known better.

1255
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 2: Now we go. Yeah, so really to them, it's only

1256
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 2: twelve thirty two. It's up, guys, big Kahuna Kentucky.

1257
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 14: Seeing these signings. I mean thirty million a year for

1258
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 14: Jalen Phillips. I mean these guys are getting too much money.

1259
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 14: I've und the Bengals. I just stay past. I just

1260
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 14: go with what I got. Now, keep your cats based

1261
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 14: for next year. If you do anything, maybe just give

1262
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 14: one or two free agents a one year deal for

1263
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 14: a large sum of money. But don't don't waste longevity

1264
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 14: on these guys. It's too much money for these guys.

1265
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 14: Might see what you can do next year.

1266
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't like it, you know, we I saw a

1267
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 2: tweet from our guy, James or Pena Bengals talk. Oh yeah,

1268
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 2: and you look, get the money that's being spent out. Now,

1269
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: imagine you get T Higgins last year four years one fifteen.

1270
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce goes four year one sixteen. Yep. That's a

1271
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 2: bargain that the Bengals got for T Higgins. Yep.

1272
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 3: And further, you know, proves the point that you should

1273
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 3: get your players done early, extend them early. They become

1274
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 3: bargains really quickly. By the way, the josepho Side deal

1275
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 3: that does technically give the Bengals a compensatory pick next year.

1276
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 3: I think it'll be a fifth or a sixth.

1277
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 2: As of now. Six that's Tom Brady. Yeah, so moth

1278
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 2: not healthy? What's that, Jens?

1279
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 26: Bengals management is like that person who gives you bad

1280
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 26: Christmas gifts.

1281
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: You see all.

1282
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 26: Of your your friends and family members getting, you know,

1283
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 26: the hottest video games, the hottest systems, new bikes. We're

1284
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 26: gonna end up with T shirts. This socks Ray Henderson,

1285
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 26: the big free agent signing in Bengals history. Don't look

1286
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 26: for that again. Look for socks. Guys the end of

1287
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 26: their career. Nobody in their prime.

1288
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 2: Wow, I want T shirts and hats Subdivision champs.

1289
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 27: Yeah, I think we're inclined, as Bengals fans and maybe

1290
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 27: other NFL fans do this as well, to overreact the

1291
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 27: first hour or two. We didn't get our guy right away.

1292
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 27: We're also not overpaying for anyone right away either, and

1293
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 27: there are plenty of free agents still. Point to me,

1294
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 27: if we get Brian Cook and one Edge Rusher, I'll

1295
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 27: be happy, at least for today or the first couple

1296
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 27: of days. I'm not going to overreact just yet. Even

1297
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,520
Speaker 27: though other teams made some splash signings.

1298
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 28: Okay, it's Leroy down here in foul meth.

1299
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1300
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 28: I don't recall how quickly a couple of years ago

1301
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 28: the Bengals made all those free agent acquisitions.

1302
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 2: But as much as.

1303
01:13:54,680 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 28: They complicate the contract issues, I don't think that they

1304
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 28: are capable of getting a contract done in five minutes

1305
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:05,719
Speaker 28: like everybody else is doing.

1306
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 2: So it might take a little bit of time. I

1307
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 2: still have faith, gotta believe. I agree have faith, Leroy. Well.

1308
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 19: I was hoping to be optimistic in that first talk

1309
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 19: back today, but now since Duke is sleeping on his

1310
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 19: hands but not sitting on him, it feels like they're

1311
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 19: going to wait till these Tier one and Tier two

1312
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 19: guys are gone and sign a Tier three, Tier four

1313
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 19: guys say, well, you know we didn't make some moves here.

1314
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 2: How old I'm wrong? Fellas hood I.

1315
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,040

1316
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:43,000

1317
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,919
Speaker 27: to severe reinods syndrome, I sit on my hands quite frequently,

1318
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 27: and sometimes it's just what we need to keep him warm.

1319
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 3: Dude, Nice Reynolds is brutal. Nice, I feel for you

1320
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 3: what my best friend has that and that is just brutal.

1321
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,000

Speaker 5: He's out there shaking the tree.

1356
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 30: He's a wheeling and he's a dead ah.

1357
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,520
Speaker 2: Rather, he's too busy packing himself on the back about.

1358
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 18: The Joe Flackas trade.

1359
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 28: Talks about it incessantly, so proud of himself.

1360
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 26: How he gave the Bengals a chance it didn't work,

1361
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 26: dun back.

1362
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't talk much about the Khalil Herbert trade.

1363
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 20: Wow, he said, And even dance our God stinks.

1364
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 24: I mean, shouldn't he be telling us what we can expect?

1365
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 19: Instead he's asking the questions.

1366
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the answers.

1367
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 20: Who are the Bengals gonna pick?

1368
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:42,160

01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 2: to bring back the Ring of Honor and not make

1390
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,759
Speaker 2: it since the three sixty, but an actual ESPN fifteen

1391
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 2: thirty Ring of Honor. Oh yeah, I think we could

1392
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 2: bring that back. Yeah. Well, Jake tried to leave one,

1393
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 2: but it's it's totally signed. He's probably angry. Thank you,

1394
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 2: Jake for Maybe that was Jay's way of saying, what

1395

Speaker 2: our last one. All right. People are sitting on their

1397
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 2: hands today. I guess we are through talkbacks.

1398
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 7: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.

1399
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 2: Do we have any news? Let me refresh here just

1400
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,760

1401
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 2: players that have been signed since the talkback started?

1402
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,120

Speaker 2: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

1423
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: NFL Free Agency is basically Black Friday for billionaires, except

01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: everyone's fighting over a tackle instead of a TV. Keep

1425

1430
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back since he three to sixty legal tampering day

1431
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. A couple things

1432
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 2: from what we talked about previously. The Bears did sign

1433
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 2: former Cincinnati Bearcat Kobe Bryant. That deal lost in reportedly

1434
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 2: three years, forty million dollars for the twenty six year

1435
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: old safety.

1436
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 3: That matches up with Minka Fitzpatrick, who signed a three year,

1437
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:43,040
Speaker 3: forty million dollar extension upon being traded to the New

1438
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:43,679
Speaker 3: York Jets.

1439
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 2: Big day for the Bearcats that started with Alec Pierce

1440
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 2: on a one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal. By

1441
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 2: the way, that's one million dollars more than t Higgins

1442
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,480
Speaker 2: is getting paid if you want to talk about value.

1443
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:59,480
Speaker 2: And the fourteen year career of Travis Kelcey will continue

1444
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 2: with the Kansas City Chiefs. He's back with the Chiefs

1445
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 2: along with Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP, among many

1446
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 2: signings that have happened today, including Austin a big one

1447
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 2: middle name. What's that Kenneth Walker's middle name?

1448
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 26: Oh?

1449
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 2: What is it? Sky Well said? The uh, the deals continue.

1450
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 2: The deals don't stop when we go on break. Correct.

1451
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 2: Another deal has come in this on the offensive lineman market. Yeah.

1452
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 3: The biggest and top free agents, you could say for

1453
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 3: a lot of people, is Tyler Linderbaum. Tyler Linderbaum has

1454
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 3: gone to the Las Vegas Raiders.

1455
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, he reached.

1456
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 3: Agreement today, according to ESPN sources, on a three year deal.

1457
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 3: It's a record deal worth eighty one million dollars sixty

1458
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 3: million of a guaranteed. It makes him the highest paid

1459
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:55,480
Speaker 3: interior offensive lineman in the National Football League. This obviously

1460
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 3: a part of what the Raiders are trying to do

1461
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 3: to protect who is probably gonna be the first overall pick,

1462
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza.

1463
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 2: And he goes to the Raiders. One other note, and

1464
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 2: I thought this is kind of an under the raidar

1465
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 2: one to me because he was I think over shadowed

1466
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 2: by the greatness of Bjon Robinson. I like Tyler Algier. Yeah,

1467
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 2: and he just signed with the Arizona Cardinals on a

1468
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 2: two year, twelve point two five million dollar deal, which

1469
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 2: is good for him. But I if you've seen the

1470
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 2: last week or so Austin, I would expect monster years

1471
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 2: coming up from Jamier Gibbs and b Jhon Robinson, whose

1472
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 2: co running backs have been moved on from those running

1473
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 2: backs are going to take a massive, massive leap forward.

1474
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: Let's grab Ourselves'm.

1475
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 3: Curious to know what the Seahawks do because you know,

1476
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker is gone, Zach Sharboney coming off here with

1477
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 3: the torn acl I think they could be players in

1478
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 3: the running back market. I do want to put this

1479
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,679

1481
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,479

01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 3: James does a lot of film.

1483
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 25: Uh.

1484
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 3: They do a yearly free agent sheet. It's like a

1485
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 3: Google drive where you can like follow in real time

1486
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 3: and they put their rankings on it, their tiers, age,

1487
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 3: snap count, PFF stuff, projections, all of it. It's a

1488
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 3: it's a great resource to use and I just tweeted

1489
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 3: it out again on my page and I just wanted

01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 31: Because I'm I'm a fan. I'm just like I'm abused.

1542
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 31: I'm like an abused wife who hus and slaps.

1543
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 2: We don't we don't want to use that analogy.

1544
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 6: Well, I don't use that.

1545
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 31: I'm just saying something, Okay, we use something to where

1546
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 31: you just gutting for parnishment.

1547
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 6: I guess I like to pay for punishment or whatever.

1548
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 6: But uh, who's your top.

1549
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 2: Target, Dante? Who do you want to sign? Who's your

1550
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 2: top target?

1551
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 6: I told you guys last year.

1552
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 31: Maybe y'all pract to me when I said it go

1553
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 31: out to mass Crosby. I mean we're gonna I mean,

1554
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 31: I said, but I want anybody. We could have got

1555
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 31: mass Crosby. We could have got great Anato DBS, we

1556
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 31: could have got the whole thing, because we don't do

1557
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 31: nothing without draft picks anyway, and then they get draft picks.

1558
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 6: They don't do nothing for the first Oh, he's a project.

1559
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 3: Arena somebody you want him to sign because Max Crosby

1560
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 3: is not available anymore.

1561
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 31: They all gone, I want to Crosby, I want a Gray.

1562
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 6: I wanted two corners first. I wanted to corners for

1563
01:27:58,160 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 6: the round.

1564
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 2: What about b.

1565
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 8: Come here?

1566
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 6: Do we need somebody alive that I can forgive me

1567
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 6: a helmet? I want to kill myself for half that money.

1568
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 31: Man, y'all gotta get his and no, man, I'm thinking

1569
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 31: about getting the door. Walking around the stadium like I'm

1570
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 31: a Bengals fan to have a Cleveland I mean, just

1571
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 31: gotta stop.

1572
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,600
Speaker 6: Man like Brown. Let me say one more thing.

1573
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 31: If I get out here and he killed out fans

1574
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,919
Speaker 31: of the everybody, Mike Brown, don't.

1575
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 6: Give an ass he got a room.

1576
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:31,759
Speaker 31: If he had a room fill of a million ams,

1577
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 31: he wouldn't give it, as I'm telling you, And that's

1578
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 31: how we gotta be fans.

1579
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 2: Wake up, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Dante's gotta

1580
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 2: keep his phone on. He just said he's willing to

1581
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 2: take a deal.

1582
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, man, that's one of the best calls

1583
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,760
Speaker 3: in the history of this show Dante has fired up,

1584
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,679
Speaker 3: I'll go out there and kill myself for half the money.

1585
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 2: I feel like Dante, though, is the attitude right now

1586
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 2: that I am getting from most Bengals fans. And again,

1587
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 2: we're not two hours into this thing. We're about to be.

1588
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're two minutes away from being two hours to

1589
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 3: do it.

1590
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 2: There is plenty of time, But I get it this

1591
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 2: for all purposes. I thought was supposed to feel different

1592
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 2: going into this offseason, and I thought that maybe that

1593
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 2: meant they would hit the ground running a little bit

1594
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 2: more aggressively or fast. Today that's not the way they

1595
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 2: normally do it. And again, as you mentioned with the

1596
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 2: sheet from James Orpen and Joe Goodbar, I was looking

1597
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 2: at it, there's still a lot of naw I kind

1598
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 2: of like, out of the top ten targets I think

1599
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 2: they have on the sheet, two of them are gone.

1600
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: There's still a lot of names, a lot of players

1601
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 2: out there.

1602
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 3: I will say this, like, other than Alex Kappa and

1603
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 3: Ted Carris, the Bengals rarely do it right at the gun.

1604
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 2: Sure, but I think it's maybe because of what this

1605
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:57,759
Speaker 2: offseason is, we would have seen a change. Maybe.

1606
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 3: But at the same time, if you get Devin Lloyd,

1607
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:04,719
Speaker 3: if you get Brian Cook, if you get John Franklin Myers.

1608
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but until that happens, we're still saying if while

1609
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: other players are actually.

1610
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 3: Hell but those dudes are still available, so it's still possible.

1611
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 2: But we've already seen in the course of this show

1612
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,719
Speaker 2: multiple names that we've both said, Man, yeah, I thought

1613
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 2: that was a good fit for since.

1614
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 3: Those aren't the only guys available. The more that off

1615
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 3: the board, the more it will cost. Keep talking about

1616
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 3: a twenty one off season. I played this thing are

1617
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 3: probably one hundred and fifty times at this point five

1618
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 3: years ago right now, And that was the year they

1619
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 3: signed Trey Hendrickson and Mike Hilton and all those dudes

1620
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 3: and turned the team around.

1621
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 2: And they didn't do that until like day two and

1622
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 2: day three. But what have they done since that moment?

1623
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 3: I get it, But I'm saying, if we want to

1624
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 3: keep comparing this offseason to then, then we do still

1625
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,560
Speaker 3: have to be patient. And there are still impact players available.

1626
01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 3: I get where everyone's coming from. I want them to

1627
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 3: have them all signed, and I wanted Kobe Bryant and

1628
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 3: I wanted Draymond Jones, and I'm not happy that they

1629
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 3: aren't here, but it's not like they still can't go

1630
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 3: and get players to fix the defense. That's still very

1631
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 3: much available. By the way, Charlie Clifford from Channel five says,

1632
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 3: according to his sources, the Bengals are among the teams

1633
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 3: seriously pursuing John Franklin Myers. The expectation continues to be

1634
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 3: that the Broncos free agent will be the first major

1635
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,759
Speaker 3: Domino to fall in the defensive tackle claps.

1636
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 2: That's from Charlie Clifford.

1637
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 3: John Franklin Myers, Now, that's more than kicking the time

1638
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 3: to dude that I have been for this entire time.

1639
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 3: He instantly helps this defense pass rush and up against

1640
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:46,719
Speaker 3: the run. Doesn't quite fit their profile as a thirty

1641
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 3: year old, but maybe that's a guy. Yeah, that could

1642
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 3: instantly make me feel better about this defense.

1643
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 2: One of the quick one here before we get to

1644
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 2: the break, former Jags running back Travis etn Is now

1645
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: he knew New Orleans Saint. So another running back has

1646
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 2: made a move today as well. Our three. We'll keep

1687
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 2: college basketball season happened in Athens, Ohio. I'm talking about

1688
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 2: from the stakes, to the atmosphere and the crowd. The

1689
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 2: game had a little bit of everything, including both teams

1690
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:41,040

1693
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 2: in the lane. It did not go their way. Miami

1694
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 2: did enough in overtime to win it one ten to

1695
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 2: one oh eight. You think back, there were five or

1696
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 2: six games that could have easily went against Miami. They

1697
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,800
Speaker 2: found ways to win them all, including Friday night they

1698
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 2: cap off a thirty one to ozher regular season. They

1699
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 2: did so Austin with arguably their best player, Peter Souter,

1700
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 2: going two for eight from the field. Now he went

1701
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 2: nine to ten from the foul line, but Ian Elmer

1702
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 2: went off for thirty two. Cousin for the Miami RedHawks.

1703
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 2: They win thirty, they go to thirty one to zero,

1704
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 2: and what I think they punched their ticket to the

1705
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament now, regardless of what happens in the MAC Tournament,

1706
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 2: I think they're in. Jackson Paveleski, the ou point guard,

1707
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 2: played forty five minutes, had thirty seven points, had a

1708
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 2: chance to win it in overtime, and win it at

1709
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 2: the end of regulation. Both shots just off. Congratulations to

1710
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 2: Travis Steele and the Miami RedHawks for their win on

1711
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 2: Friday night and completing an unbelievable, unbelievable regular season. Up

1712
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 2: next for Miami, they have UMass on Thursday, in their

1713
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 2: first game in the MAC Tournament. UMass is a team

1714
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 2: that did play them pretty well both times they played

1715
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:23,599
Speaker 2: this year. Other winners over the weekend. Louisville had themselves

1716
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 2: out of the ACC A very big win over the weekend,

1717
01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 2: a top twenty five win over Miami, which means Louisville

1718
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 2: in the ACC tournament will play tomorrow at two thirty.

1719
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 2: They will, await I believe the winner of Syracuse and

1720
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 2: SMU if I'm not mistaken, but ACC Tournament for Louisville

1721
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 2: gets underway tomorrow. Other winners over the weekend, Austin. You

1722
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:53,519
Speaker 2: were there, you saw it. Ohio State they win, Bruce

1723
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 2: Thoughton becomes the all time leading scorer, and I would

1724
01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 2: assume with their win over Indiana that Ohio State will

1725
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 2: be an NC double A tournament team. Did they look

1726
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 2: like an NC tournament NC double A tournament team to you, Well,

1727
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. In the first half they did.

1728
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 3: I mean they shot lights out and Amari Biningham played spectacularly.

1729
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:16,759
Speaker 3: They've just continued to play better basketball over the last

1730
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 3: couple of weeks and the big win over Purdue and

1731
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 3: then to shoot lights out the way they did. I

1732
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 3: thought they kind of got into a bit of a

1733
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 3: lull in the second half against Indiana. I think my

1734
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,639
Speaker 3: biggest takeaway was Indiana stinks. I mean, they got one

1735
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 3: guy who's really really good, number three.

1736
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 2: He can fill it up.

1737
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 3: I think he's averaging like twenty a game and nobody

1738
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 3: else is even close to that.

1739
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,759
Speaker 2: He's the coach's son. He's a beast. Yeah, he's a beast.

1740
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 3: But other than that, yeah, I mean, I think Ohio

1741
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 3: State has basically punched their ticket.

1742
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 2: We mentioned NKU earlier in the day. They play Right

1743
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 2: State in the semis tonight of the Horizon League Tournament.

1744
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 2: That's a seven o'clock tip the teams that lost over

1745
01:37:56,200 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 2: the weekend. The Dayton Flyers lost to VCU on Friday night.

1746
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 2: That means now Dayton would obviously have to win the

1747
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 2: A ten tournament to have any chance at advancing. They

1748
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 2: get underway, I believe they still did get the double buys,

1749
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 2: so they don't play until Friday. In the quarterfinals of

1750
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 2: the A ten tournament, Xavier lost over the weekend, to Villanova.

1751
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 2: They did so without the services of the Big East

1752
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 2: leading scorer, Trey Carroll, who was out due to a

1753
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: hip injury. But now that opens the door for the

1754
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 2: Big East Tournament. Xavier would obviously have to go on

1755
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 2: a run. It's one of the most story tournaments all

1756
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 2: of basketball Madison Square Garden, and I think if you

1757
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:45,799
Speaker 2: at least go by seating purposes, I don't think Xavier

1758
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 2: has a terrible path. If they're going to try to

1759
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 2: make a run they get, They'll take on Marquette first,

1760
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 2: and then I think the winner of that would take

1761
01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 2: on I believe crighton. I would have to look to confirm,

1762
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 2: but I do know. Xavier gets underway Wednesday against Marquette

1763
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 2: at six point thirty at Madison Square Garden. The game

1764
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 2: that will impact us here on Sincy three to sixty

1765
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 2: happens because of a slew of things that happened over

1766
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 2: the weekend. To the Kentucky Wildcats, they got dominated, dominated,

1767
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,720
Speaker 2: at Rupp Arena. The final score was not indicative to

1768
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 2: how bad this game was for Kentucky had finished eighty

1769
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 2: four to seventy seven. They were down forty nine to

1770
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:34,759
Speaker 2: thirty two at the half, Kentucky, who had felt like Austin.

1771
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 2: You remember a couple of weeks ago, they were going

1772
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,639
Speaker 2: to Florida to play for a lead in the SEC.

1773
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 2: Could have been the top team in the SEC at

1774
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:43,760
Speaker 2: the time. They fall all the way to ten and

1775
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 2: eight in the SEC. And what it sets up for

1776
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:53,799
Speaker 2: us is unfortunate because Kentucky's game Wednesday against the sixteen

1777
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 2: seeded LSU Tigers will happen at twelve thirty in the

1778
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:00,720
Speaker 2: afternoon with Kentucky pregame and postgame, and that means we

1779
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 2: will not have a show on Wednesday. Will carry Kentucky basketball,

1780
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 2: and then if they win, they would run it back

1781
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 2: again on Thursday against the Missouri Tigers, so that would

1782
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,600
Speaker 2: obviously impact our show. If they were to beat Missouri,

1783
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,679
Speaker 2: they would play Florida at one on Friday, which would

1784
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 2: again impact our show. But for now we know we're

1785
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 2: not going to have a show because of Kentucky basketball.

1786
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:30,919
Speaker 2: We'll be right here on ESPN fifteen thirty on Wednesday.

1787
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 2: And then you have what happened to the Cincinnati Bearcats,

1788
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 2: And you want to talk about a lot to play

1789
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 2: for and essentially a lot to lose when you look

1790
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 2: at what happened to you See on Saturday. I thought

1791
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:46,800
Speaker 2: you See had a chance in that game to give

1792
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 2: themselves a great opportunity to go to Kansas City and

1793
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 2: win one game and be in the NCAA tournament, not

1794
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 2: only because of what UC's done, but it felt like

1795
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 2: every other single Bubble team that you See needed to

1796
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 2: lose actually lost. But you See did not take advantage

1797
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 2: of it, in large part due to a game that

1798
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 2: felt like what we watched more so in the beginning

1799
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 2: of the season and not the end of the season.

1800
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:11,879
Speaker 2: For the Bearcats, they were lost at times on offense.

1801
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 2: They got one field goal in the game from Boba Miller.

1802
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 2: TCU style of play and their pressure and aggressiveness made

1803
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:23,599
Speaker 2: things very uncomfortable on Mustafa cham and Bobby Miller, who

1804
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 2: had been so great as of late. Those two combined

1805
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 2: to go five of twelve from the field and just

1806
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 2: twelve points between both of them. Bobby Miller did add

1807
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 2: fourteen rebounds, that was not enough. Jalen Celestine had twelve,

1808
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 2: Daydae Thomas had nineteen, and Gisel James had eleven. The

1809
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 2: biggest disappointment I had in the game is in watching it,

1810
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 2: it felt like you see didn't play with urgency. They

1811
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 2: were late to a lot of loose balls. They were

1812
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 2: not the more aggressive team, and in a must win

1813
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 2: game what felt like your season on the line, you see,

1814
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 2: came out turned the ball over nineteen times, nineteen turnovers.

1815
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 2: To put it into perspective, they had six all night

1816
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 2: against BYU in their previous home game, nineteen turnovers. TCU

1817
01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 2: shot the ball forty four percent from the field. The

1818
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 2: Bearcats out rebounded TCU, but the turnovers just too much

1819
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 2: of a problem, twenty four to seven in points off turnovers,

1820
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:26,599
Speaker 2: and TCU dominated in the paint a lot of layups

1821
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 2: off those turnovers, thirty to fourteen in the paint. An

1822
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 2: unfortunate loss for the Cincinnati Bearcats twofold one because a

1823
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 2: win would I thought, put them in great, great standing

1824
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 2: with the NCAA Tournament. It would have also given them

1825
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 2: the number six seed in in the Big twelve Tournament.

1826
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 2: The sixth seed would have allowed this team a first

1827
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: round by They would have played the winner of Colorado

1828
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma State, and if they could have won that game,

1829
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 2: they would have played Kansas, and I think if they

1830
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 2: would have beat Colorado Oklahoma State, I think they would

1831
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 2: have been the dance. Now Cincinnati falls all the way

1832
01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 2: to the nine seed. They will play tomorrow at two

1833
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 2: pm against Utah. The winner of that will take on

1834
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 2: UCF and I think both of those games are winnable

1835
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,640
Speaker 2: for UC. But the one team that it felt like

1836
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 2: you wanted to avoid if you were the Cincinnati Bearcats

1837
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 2: or any Big twelve team would have been Arizona, And

1838
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 2: by sliding from the sixth to the nine, UC would

1839
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 2: have to play and probably at this point beat Arizona

1840
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 2: for any chance of an at large bid into the

1841
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament. But first a two pm start tomorrow against

1842
01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 2: Utah with a chance to play on Wednesday, and then

1843
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,000
Speaker 2: a chance to punch your ticket to play Arizona. Do

1844
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 2: we have any Wes Miller audio from postgame Austin.

1845
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:50,719
Speaker 3: We have about a minute and twenty seconds of him

1846
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 3: with Terry Nelson. It's not the best they had to

1847
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 3: do it kind of record it, but starting with Terry

1848
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 3: asking him, how do you think your team played tonight

1849
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 3: against DCU.

1850
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:04,880
Speaker 30: Well, nineteen turnovers, Terry, I thought was the factor in

1851
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 30: the game. There's some loose balls that we didn't get

1852
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 30: that I think are the factor in the game.

1853
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 2: And that's the difference. You know.

1854
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,839
Speaker 30: Outside of that, I got nothing to complain about big picture,

1855
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 30: But the nineteen turnovers, the way they converted those and

1856
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 30: some of the loose balls, that'd be the thing that

1857
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:22,560
Speaker 30: I'm disappointed in.

1858
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 8: It seems as if you couldn't get a chance to

1859
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,759
Speaker 8: establish the post game because they doubled and pushed everything

1860
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 8: out and the head of hard time connecting with the

1861
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 8: other guards.

1862
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 30: Yes, it's the big twelve on the road, right And

1863
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,600
Speaker 30: they were extremely physical with us in the box and

1864
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 30: we're not even in the bonus.

1865
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 2: And I thought they had a factor. But that's the

1866
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 2: big twelve. That's the that's the big twelve on the road.

1867
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 30: You're not going to get calls those bumps at the basket,

1868
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 30: you're not getting them. And we weren't able to play

1869
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 30: inside out like we've been doing so effectively, you know

1870
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 30: for a long time.

1871
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 29: Now.

1872
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,040
Speaker 2: We'll be your message to your team.

1873
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,639
Speaker 30: Oh man, we just we got to get out of here.

1874
01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 30: We got to get home and get rest, and we

1875
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 30: got to get ready to play on Tuesday.

1876
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 2: That's it. Like it's March time, it's winter, go home time.

1877
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 30: So we talked very quickly about what I just said,

1878
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 30: to you, nineteen turnovers, loose balls, a couple shots that

1879
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 30: were like turnovers that led to baskets, and then we

1880
01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 30: talked about we got to get the heck out of

1881
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 30: here quickly. We got to go get them rests, and

1882
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 30: we got to just focus all our time and attention

1883
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 30: on getting ready to play on Tuesday.

1884
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 2: So that is what wes Miller had to say. The

1885
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,599
Speaker 2: turnover is the biggest point I think in the game.

1886
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 2: You're not going to win a game against anyone with

1887
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 2: nineteen turnovers. Disappointing because the opportunity was wide open this

1888
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 2: weekend for the Cincinnati Bearcats, who again will reset and

1889
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 2: play tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock to keep there season alive.

1890
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:44,320
Speaker 2: It's winner go home, as wes Miller said, at this point,

1891
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 2: feels to me like they need three. They got to

1892
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,720
Speaker 2: get three this week in Kansas City, and one of

1893
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:51,800
Speaker 2: those would have to be against one of the best

1894
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 2: teams in the country, the Arizona Wildcats. That takes place

1895
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,479
Speaker 2: later in the week. When we come back. Let's get

1896
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,120

Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. I'll tell you what Austin Jets are

1904
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 2: spending some money today. The New York Football Jets have

1905
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 2: signed a defensive tackle. Now, now, where did you fall in?

1906
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 2: Was it David Onyamata? Yeah? What'd you feel about him?

1907
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 2: Good fit? Bad fit? I care less.

1908
01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 3: I didn't know that much about him, but I knew

1909
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 3: he'd get a good amount of money.

1910
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 2: Raiders also adding more offense. They have agreed with wide

1911
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:08,440
Speaker 2: receiver Jalen Naylor three year, thirty five million dollar guarantee,

1912
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 2: a thirty five million dollar contract that was signing Linderbaum.

1913
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 2: You think the Raiders are starting to get this offense

1914
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 2: center around future number one pick for Nando Mendoza. They are.

1915
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:22,639
Speaker 3: They also still have eleven draft picks to use coming up,

1916
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 3: all right.

1917
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:28,600
Speaker 2: David Edwards Former Bills guard David Edwards has signed a

1918
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:31,959
Speaker 2: four year, sixty one million dollar deal with the Saints

1919
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 2: as well.

1920
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 3: The David Anya Meta deal with the Jets is a

1921
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 3: one year deal worth ten and a half million dollars.

1922
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:46,640
Speaker 3: Nine point six million of it is guaranteed. Charlie Goldsmith

1923
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 3: said that this was the Bell Weather that shows just

1924
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,759
Speaker 3: how big the contract is going to be. For John

1925
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 3: Franklin Myers, Yeah, feels like right now, as far as

1926
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 3: defensive tackles are concerned, the market has dried up pretty quickly.

1927
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, feels like a lot of teams are waiting on

1928
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 2: that deal to come in.

1929
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 3: DJ Reader is still out there, Logan Hall is still

1930
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 3: out there. Khalaias Campbell is still out there. But I

1931
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 3: mean with Reader and Campbell, those dudes are I mean

1932
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 3: Khalaias Campbell's forty years old. DJ Reader is thirty two.

1933
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,799
Speaker 3: So I don't know that I would be too excited

1934
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 3: about one of those two guys as a potential defensive tackle.

1935
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,520
Speaker 3: And then you go down to guys like Andrew Billings,

1936
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 3: Roy Lopez, Javon Hargrave, like, it dries up very quickly.

1937
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 2: As far as I'm conn John Franklin Myers and the

1938
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 2: interest that the Bengals have, this is not squarely the Bengals.

1939
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,759
Speaker 2: From what I understand, there are a lot of teams

1940
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 2: interested in the services of John Franklin Myers. So that

1941
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 2: is a huge name to watch and presumpt I would say,

1942
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 2: presumably a big domino that will that'll fall. Hopefully that

1943
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 2: domino is here to Cincinnati. We did learn of a

1944
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,280
Speaker 2: different type of domino following Austin not as the domino

1945
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 2: of Andrew Abbott will be the opening day starter for

1946
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds against the Boston Red Sox. This came

1947
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:17,560
Speaker 2: at no surprise, right, This was kind of once the

1948
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 2: Hunter Green news break, Andrew Abbitt was going to be

1949
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 2: the right guy for this. Do you think there was

1950
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 2: any consideration for anyone else on this staff? No, I

1951
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 2: don't think so. Pretty cut and dry, Andrew Abbott. We'll

1952
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 2: talk about a little bit more about what this team

1953
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 2: did or didn't do over the weekend. We are seventeen

1954
01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 2: days away from getting to head down to smoke Justice

Speaker 2: for opening day and then walk the block in a

1956
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 2: bridge to Great American Ballpark. Seventeen days away, Austin means

1957
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:53,880
Speaker 2: we're seventeen Stuart Fairchild days away from opening day. Dude, stop,

Speaker 3: fun seasons. It was watching Shin Sue Chew play every

Speaker 2: I don't think was that before? That was before?

2010
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 3: Are we allowed to go back for seconds? That's what

2011
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:45,040
Speaker 3: I wondered, because they'll let you be the one.

2012
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm just gonna go mosey out there for a

Speaker 2: Here we go. Now.

2021
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:13,599
Speaker 3: I don't think the Bengals were in on this guy. Okay,

2022
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 3: but he's a beast.

2023
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 30: He is.

2024
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:20,000

2028
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 3: other years? A three year deal for Mike Evans to

2030
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 3: Morn here we go cornerback that I was excited about

2031
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 3: as a potential Bengal Bengals. Jamel Dean goes to the

2032
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a three year, thirty six point seven

2033
01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 3: to five million dollar deal for Jamel Dean to Pittsburgh.

2034
01:53:56,720 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 3: You know Ben Solok who's a ESPN analyst, Ben Solac

2035
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:03,720
Speaker 3: for the NFL. He has uh He's taken in all

2036
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:06,000
Speaker 3: the deal so far today and he says that Kobe

2037
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 3: Bryant to the Bears is his favorite. He said it

2038
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:13,120
Speaker 3: was his favorite safety in the free agent class, favorite.

2039
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 2: Deal so far. I think it's a great safety. I

2040
01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 2: think it's a great deal. No, I think it is

2041
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 2: too man. Afc Nor's been pretty active today.

2042
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 3: What's pretty crazy is the Tyler Linderbaum thing. So he

2043
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 3: goes to the Raiders. It's an eighty one million dollar deal.

2044
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:35,440
Speaker 3: He like completely reset the market by like fifty percent.

2045
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2046
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 3: The previous record for a center for the average per

2047
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 3: year as a percentage of the cap at signing was

2048
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 3: seven point four percent. Linder Bobs is almost nine percent.

2049
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:54,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that is one of the biggest jumps for

2050
01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 3: a particular market of all time. I was gonna say,

2051
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 3: that's impressive, so impressive to say that the Raiders are

2052
01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 3: gonna bump Jackson Powers. Johnson, a guy that was a

2053
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 3: target of the Bengals in the draft a couple of

2054
01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 3: years ago, over to guard and he'll be replacing Alex Kappa. Well,

2055
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 3: I don't know that we'll see much of Alex Kappa

2056
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 3: in the National Football League anymore.

2057
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Raiders are beginning to build. We will.

2058
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 3: We'll take a phone call or two here, Brian, what's

2059
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 3: going on? Oh, Brian, I think you got a bad connection. Brian,

2060
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 3: we cannot hear you. We're sorry, Brian. Are you there?

2061
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, what's up?

2062
01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:39,320
Speaker 30: Hey?

2063
01:55:39,440 --> 01:55:39,920
Speaker 6: I was calling.

2064
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 21: Actually, it's funny, you guys were just talking about Tyler

2065
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 21: Rindham bomb Happy free agent Day. I was actually as

2066
01:55:46,160 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 21: a Bengals fan. For the first couple you just want

2067
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:52,360
Speaker 21: to see ams North teams loose players, so it's always

2068
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,520
Speaker 21: good to see the Ravens lose their best offensive lineman.

2069
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 6: But at the same time, at the same time, I

2070
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 6: was gonna say, Jamel Dean, I never really liked him.

2071
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:03,040
Speaker 6: I'm glad he's with the Steelers.

2072
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 21: Actually, I think Chase and Higgins will have their way

2073
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 21: with him. And then of course you know, but of

2074
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:12,000
Speaker 21: course I called like a week ago when you guys

2075
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 21: were talking about the Max Crosby trade for a first

2076
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,520
Speaker 21: round or not, and I was the one that was

2077
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 21: against it just because it's the first round pick defensive line.

2078
01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:23,440
Speaker 6: I would want a.

2079
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 21: Defensive tackle that can consistently penetrate in the middle, and

2080
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:29,840
Speaker 21: it's hard to find, and you're finding that out right

2081
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 21: now because Franklin Myers.

2082
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:33,440
Speaker 6: Is about as good as you're gonna get on the.

2083
01:56:33,440 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 21: Free agent market. They don't go to free agency very often.

2084
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 6: You got a draft, so.

2085
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 21: You either overpay for Franklin Myers or you're getting a

2086
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 21: stop gap older guy.

2087
01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 2: Yep, the hope.

2088
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 21: And then, like I said, this draft is pretty much

2089
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:54,320
Speaker 21: a group of five or busts or trade down for

2090
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 21: a defensive tackle, which is obviously Harvell Reeves, Sunny Styles,

2091
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 21: Caleb Downs, David Bailey or Ruben Bain, or you trade

2092
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 21: down and get one of those defensive linemen like a

2093
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 21: Kidd McDonald or even a cnem in the safety from Morgan.

2094
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 21: But but really, those defensive tackles are hard to get,

2095
01:57:14,760 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 21: the penetrating defensive tackles, and you're seeing that now.

2096
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 6: Geno Atkins was a blessing.

2097
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 21: We learned that reader was really good, but he was

2098
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 21: a defensive guy, run stopping guy, which obviously the Bengals

2099
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,400
Speaker 21: couldn't rush the pass or defend.

2100
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 6: The run, so he was definitely valued. But they need

2101
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 6: to get a little bit of both and they.

2102
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 21: Need some depth, so hopefully linebackers still a need as well.

2103
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:44,000
Speaker 21: So I don't know if they plan on getting that

2104
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 21: in the draft or a Devin Lloyd type.

2105
01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:49,520
Speaker 6: But as far as safety in the free agent market goes,

2106
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 6: I'm not a big fan of much out there.

2107
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 21: But again, you know, this is a pretty good safety draft,

2108
01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 21: so maybe they took to their eggs in that basket.

2109
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 21: But I wonder what do you guys think about you know,

2110
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 21: other teams and our division losing players like like a

2111
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 21: Linden Bomb's gonna help. Of course, if you don't have

2112
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 21: a defensive lineman that can penetrate.

2113
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 2: It might not help Bengals.

2114
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:13,320
Speaker 6: But but thanks guys.

2115
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully appreciate that. Yeah, I think you do count

2116
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:20,960
Speaker 2: as a whim. I mean, Baltimore losing Linderbaum is a

2117
01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:27,520
Speaker 2: big thing. I just de tackle Auston is a position

2118
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm okay with overpaying for, Like I don't think you would.

2119
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have a choice. Yeah, I mean you're

2120
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to or else you're gonna be left with nothing.

2121
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:38,000
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of d tackles, this was earlier today.

2122
01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 2: Sheldon Rankins two year, twelve million dollar guaranteed deal extension.

2123
01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: There's really good. Last year Sheldon Rankins was awesome ever

2124
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 2: since he left Cincinnati in that weird situation that was

2125
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 2: here one more quick call.

2126
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 3: We got to be people would be getting mad at

2127
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 3: Sheldon Rankins liked his fault.

2128
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like it's crazy.

2129
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 3: By the way, Devin Bush, that was a name that

2130
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 3: I thought the Bengals would go after going to the

2131
01:59:01,480 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears and three year, thirty million dollar deal for

2132
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:08,880
Speaker 3: Devin Bush, I thought they would get either Bush, Gary

2133
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 3: or Kingsley in a bar a three former Packers, three

2134
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:15,920
Speaker 3: guys with history with Jerry Montgomery. All three go to

2135
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,120
Speaker 3: different teams. Devin Bush goes to the Bears.

2136
01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 2: We got about a minute, then we got to get

2137
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 2: to a break, Mike, what's up?

2138
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 32: Okay, I'll be fast if they can't. Great move by

2139
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:29,280
Speaker 32: the Raiders building that O line for mister Mendoza. Way

01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 32: to go, boys, be active, the aggressive Bengals. Get off

Speaker 32: them left out there. Well they're going fast. You wish

2143
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:41,760
Speaker 32: too long, you're gonna be damn well.

2144
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 2: Sorry you said there's a lot of left out there,

2145
01:59:44,120 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 2: and then they keep getting signed.

2146
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 6: That's right.

2147
01:59:46,840 --> 01:59:49,080
Speaker 32: Well, that's what's gonna happen when you when you sit

2148
01:59:49,120 --> 01:59:53,880
Speaker 32: around and contemplate too damn much. Well the thing, what

2149
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:56,880
Speaker 32: a brilliant move by the Rams now getting the teammate

2150
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 32: of McAfee.

2151
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:00,880
Speaker 2: 're in a great spot.

2152
02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:05,080
Speaker 32: I mean they really are getting to well. I heard

2153
02:00:04,840 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 32: that they really liked that wide receiver out of USC too.

2154
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 32: When it comes to one of their picks in the draft,

2155
02:00:11,480 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 32: and they like bang to the defensive tackle for Liam.

2156
02:00:14,480 --> 02:00:17,000
Speaker 32: As far as their draft but how about the weekend basketball?

2157
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 32: Florida never allows Kentucky to have the lead in that whole.

2158
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Game, dominated at rut.

2159
02:00:21,480 --> 02:00:26,760
Speaker 32: And then Yukon loses, which makes me so happy. And uh,

2160
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:29,360
Speaker 32: I just think TCU out tough. Do you see, Tony,

2161
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 32: They out toughed them.

2162
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 2: They didn't have an answer, they were they were one

2163
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:35,560
Speaker 2: the tougher team on Saturday, which is disappointing in a

2164
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:36,320
Speaker 2: must win game.

2165
02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 32: Yep, I know you got to go.

2166
02:00:38,320 --> 02:00:42,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, Mike. Chad Breundle waits to join

2167
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:45,600
Speaker 2: us next for quick hits. That's probably what happened Austin.

2168
02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 2: The Bengals were waiting so that Chad could get all

2169
02:00:48,240 --> 02:00:51,280
Speaker 2: the breaking news this afternoon. I hope so that'll happen next.

2170
02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:55,000
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. We kids, Yes it is.

2171
02:00:58,040 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 2: I was looking for mo. Most said is good bye.

2172
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:01,840
Speaker 2: I saw a post where he said us goodbyes to

2173
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:03,880
Speaker 2: all the baseball and beers he's been able to take in.

2174
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:07,920
Speaker 2: And what's life seemingly beautiful weather life, Uh will be

2175
02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:08,920
Speaker 2: back tomorrow.

2176
02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 33: Which means pit Friday nice a good fire on fire.

2177
02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:15,680
Speaker 33: Yeah it was, it was I needed it. It was yesterday.

2178
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:17,840
Speaker 33: It was a nice day to sit outside. It's just

2179
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:21,320
Speaker 33: we need that, like we need a signing to come

2180
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:25,600
Speaker 33: across the board. I don't now you're in for the

2181
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:28,160
Speaker 33: next three hours and maybe you'll be the one that

2182
02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:30,600
Speaker 33: has gifted multiple signings. What do you got coming up

2183
02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:32,680
Speaker 33: on the show? Well, we're going to talk about the Bengals, Okay,

2184
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:33,320
Speaker 33: we're going.

2185
02:01:33,320 --> 02:01:37,560
Speaker 2: To talk about the fact that they they continuously take

2186
02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:43,320
Speaker 2: away one entire element of talent acquisition, and that's trading

2187
02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:46,920
Speaker 2: draft picks. Yes, and I don't understand that because they

2188
02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:51,600
Speaker 2: stink at drafting. They're terrible at drafting. If you can

2189
02:01:51,640 --> 02:01:54,640
Speaker 2: get a good player for a fourth round pick or

2190
02:01:54,640 --> 02:01:57,360
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick or a sixth round pick, go

2191
02:01:57,440 --> 02:01:59,520
Speaker 2: get the good player. I want to be the La

2192
02:01:59,680 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 2: ram Yep. I want to trade every damn first round pick. Yes,

2193
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:05,520
Speaker 2: because you're gonna get a guy that you know is

2194
02:02:05,560 --> 02:02:08,360
Speaker 2: good and it's gonna produce for three four years, and

2195
02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:10,360
Speaker 2: then when it's time for him to go, you trade

2196
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 2: another first round pick and you go find his damn replacement.

2197
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:15,680
Speaker 2: What about a seventh round pick, would you get away

2198
02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:19,280
Speaker 2: with it? Yeah? Fourth? Fourth? Yeah, well no, they got

2199
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:22,600
Speaker 2: g Atkins in the fourth. Then did TJ. Houschmanzada in

2200
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 2: the seventh here's my biggest concern. I think they're gonna

2201
02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 2: stink again on defense. I hope, like I'll get out

2202
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 2: that at some point today the Bengals have a deal

2203
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 2: in place with John Franklin Myers. But if they don't,

2204
02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 2: my worry becomes the market gets reset for John Franklin Myers,

2205
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 2: and then we're left saying, well, this isn't John Franklin Myers,

2206
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,000
Speaker 2: but we're gonna have to overpay a little bit because

2207
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:46,720
Speaker 2: the market was. We said, if you got a deal

2208
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:49,080
Speaker 2: done before met Franklin Myers, you could have kind of

2209
02:02:49,080 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 2: set your own market. Now you're gonna be if you

2210
02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:52,840
Speaker 2: don't land a guy like that. You're kind of at

2211
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:54,320
Speaker 2: the nature of what these deals run.

2212
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:56,720
Speaker 33: Le Me ask you a question, how many times have

2213
02:02:56,800 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 33: the Bengals been serious in free agency? Kick the tires

2214
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 33: on Crosby. How many times have the Bengals been serious

2215
02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 33: in free agency?

2216
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:07,520
Speaker 2: Once? Probably once, maybe twice.

2217
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 33: What happened after that year that they were serious in

2218
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 33: free agency?

2219
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:15,760
Speaker 2: They went to the Super Bowl. Huh huh.

2220
02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 33: But this year is gonna be different. But we have

2221
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:21,480
Speaker 33: to keep talking. Look, we're gonna do this is, because

2222
02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 33: this is our job. We're gonna have to sit here

2223
02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 33: and talk ourselves into mid level signings for more money

2224
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 33: than they probably should have got only to buy October

2225
02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 33: be going? Where is this guy should have done more?

2226
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:38,200
Speaker 33: Why didn't this Why isn't this guy producing like that

2227
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 33: they had? Are they not aware that they had one

2228
02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 33: of the worst defenses for in the history of the

2229
02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 33: NFL and that they need great, great that they need

2230
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:54,840
Speaker 33: serious help on that side of the ball to be

2231
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:57,280
Speaker 33: a super Bowl team?

2232
02:03:57,480 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 2: Can they?

2233
02:03:58,160 --> 02:04:00,400
Speaker 33: Can they make a bunch of mid level edition and

2234
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:04,440
Speaker 33: probably get into the playoffs with ten wins or whatever?

2235
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:09,920
Speaker 33: Sure they got Joe Burrow, of course that's possible. Why

2236
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 33: can't this be the team that's striving for fourteen wins?

2237
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:16,720
Speaker 33: Fifteen wins? Being aggressive with your draft picks and trading

2238
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:20,440
Speaker 33: them for proven NFL talent, being aggressive at the start

2239
02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 33: of free agency. We're all in, Tony, We're always all in, Blooney,

2240
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:29,400
Speaker 33: Your actions don't match your words.

2241
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:33,000
Speaker 3: That was one of the craziest lies ever told always

2242
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:35,160
Speaker 3: we're always going without hesitation.

2243
02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:40,920
Speaker 2: He thought he was like, nailed it. Joe Flacco nailed it.

2244
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:44,280
Speaker 3: I still can't believe the confidence with which he said

2245
02:04:44,280 --> 02:04:49,120
Speaker 3: that in the condescending Tony responded to Kelsey Conway with

2246
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 3: I could not believe.

2247
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:52,120
Speaker 2: I still can't believe. You know what it was, Austin.

2248
02:04:52,160 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 2: It was the Nick Young three pointer. Yeah, yeah, he

2249
02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:58,160
Speaker 2: made it with as much as we have that not

2250
02:04:58,160 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 2: going to sit on our hands? Can we clip that

2251
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:00,640
Speaker 2: as well about being.

2252
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 7: All in for we are certainly not gonna sit on

2253
02:05:03,640 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 7: our hands.

2254
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 32: No, we're not.

2255
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:09,360
Speaker 2: Are you gonna stick him up here? Now? While it's

2256
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:13,400
Speaker 2: been quiet for the Bengals, nice day for former Bearcats

2257
02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:16,120
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, let's go like, I mean,

2258
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 2: how good does the t Higgins deal look? I mean,

2259
02:05:18,920 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 2: four years one, sixteen, he took it well.

2260
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 33: The thing with Alec is right place, right time, because

2261
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 33: he was gonna be the number one guy in the market.

2262
02:05:26,880 --> 02:05:30,480
Speaker 33: And the Colts were desperate because they would have had

2263
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 33: nothing in wide receivers moving on from if they didn't

2264
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:37,400
Speaker 33: have a p they were they were cooked big. I mean,

2265
02:05:38,080 --> 02:05:41,120
Speaker 33: you cannot find a better a better family than Alec

2266
02:05:41,160 --> 02:05:44,080
Speaker 33: Pierce yep. And and I love Kobe as well, and

2267
02:05:44,080 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 33: and you know it's going to be a guy the Predator,

2268
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 33: the Predators coming next. That's I'm not gonna lie, Tony,

2269
02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:52,400
Speaker 33: I've been doing that. I'm December will be my twentieth

2270
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 33: year on the UC beat. I've never actually been mentally

2271
02:05:57,920 --> 02:06:00,680
Speaker 33: intimidated by a player like I was Ryan Cook when

2272
02:06:00,680 --> 02:06:03,160
Speaker 33: he first shut up and had the dreadlocks and looked

2273
02:06:03,200 --> 02:06:06,480
Speaker 33: like the predator and like all be out plast stair.

2274
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, go get him, go get him. Yeah, John Franklin, Myers,

2275
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Brian Cook by six o'clock and we're we're in a

2276
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:16,240
Speaker 2: good place. Yeah, then we're happy. Then we're happy.

2277
02:06:16,360 --> 02:06:18,560
Speaker 33: And you're mad because I got to talk about it exactly,

2278
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:19,600
Speaker 33: didn't exactly.

2279
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:21,840
Speaker 2: That's why you're mad. That's why you're really mad right now.

2280
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 2: I am. I am only get a couple opportunities this

2281
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 2: week because of Kentucky basketball. Boy, how about most thrilled

2282
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 2: about that? I know, I know Mo's walking back to that.

2283
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 2: Most been the beneficiary of a few of them. Yes,

2284
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:39,200
Speaker 2: we do get you see basketball unfortunately tomorrow. Boy.

2285
02:06:39,280 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 33: You talk about the epitome of Cincinnati sports fandom, YEP,

2286
02:06:43,640 --> 02:06:44,000
Speaker 33: I know it.

2287
02:06:44,040 --> 02:06:45,160
Speaker 2: Going into the game. I did too.

2288
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:49,360
Speaker 33: I didn't team turnovers as soon as West Virginia one

2289
02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:53,440
Speaker 33: on Friday night, yep. Like the out everything was gonna

2290
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 33: break exactly Cincinnati's way Saturday, every bubble team we needed

2291
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 33: Tonati was going to fail to take if they would

2292
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 33: be in. Yes, Like, I'm convinced the way Saturday went,

2293
02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 33: if they beat TCU at t TCU got a quad

2294
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,840
Speaker 33: one win, Cincinnati would be a minimum.

2295
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 2: They would have had to beat Colorado or Oklahoma State. Yeah,

2296
02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 2: in the first round, and then whatever happened against Kansas

2297
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:17,160
Speaker 2: would have been nicing on the cake. Yeah, I'm with

2298
02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:19,880
Speaker 2: you now. I think it would take three in Kansas

2299

Speaker 2: City this week to be considered to get back in Tony.

2300
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:25,680

Speaker 33: year then Cincinnati beats Arizona in Kansas City.

2302

02:08:15,560 --> 02:08:20,640
Speaker 2: Neither no have chemistry but no players. Were wrong on

2316
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:23,120
Speaker 2: our prediction early on about how many would be signed

2317
02:08:23,120 --> 02:08:26,920
Speaker 2: by this show between them and signed one today between

2318
02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:29,640
Speaker 2: at least three and six o'clock, how many new Bengals

2319
02:08:29,640 --> 02:08:32,760
Speaker 2: are announced, I'm gonna say one still, Okay, I always

2320
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:36,760
Speaker 2: thought they would sign two today. I'm gonna say one.

2321
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna knock that down. Still a lot of good

2322
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 2: players left there are. How much are you willing to

2323
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:48,000
Speaker 2: bet on zero point five and take the over on

2324
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 2: that this is the Bengals? So I'm not willing to

2325
02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:51,040
Speaker 2: bet a.

2326
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:55,680
Speaker 3: Lot, right you said to the Devins, Kappa and the

2327
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:58,839
Speaker 3: Ted Carriss are like the only time they've been super

2328
02:08:58,840 --> 02:08:59,640
Speaker 3: active day.

2329
02:08:59,480 --> 02:09:03,680
Speaker 2: One Devin Bush sign where with the Bear, Bears and

2330
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:05,080
Speaker 2: Jets have been very active over all.

2331
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:07,600
Speaker 3: So I was wrong about Devin Bush playing for the Packers.

2332
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:08,000
Speaker 2: He didn't.

2333
02:09:08,040 --> 02:09:10,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking of kay Walker. Bush played for the

2334
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 3: Steelers and they got the yellow pants confused.

2335
02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 33: The Bears and the Jets, two teams that's defense needed

2336
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:18,200
Speaker 33: a lot significant upgrades and they're active.

2337
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:20,480
Speaker 2: And just need someone that can force a turn on.

2338
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 3: I think those two are our great case studies of

2339
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:26,600
Speaker 3: of kind of what we expected the Bengals to do,

2340
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:29,200
Speaker 3: either today or by the time this whole thing is

2341
02:09:29,200 --> 02:09:31,920
Speaker 3: wrapped up, by the time the draft is to add

2342
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 3: players at those positions. Not all of them are the

2343
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:37,080
Speaker 3: top flight free agents, and say what you want of

2344
02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:39,200
Speaker 3: them are just veterans that can impact you.

2345
02:09:39,480 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 2: Say what you want. They missed the playoffs last year.

2346
02:09:42,080 --> 02:09:44,680
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs have been uber aggressive today as well.

2347
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:47,160
Speaker 2: They paid a lot of money, paid a lot of money,

2348
02:09:47,200 --> 02:09:48,120
Speaker 2: but but they.

2349
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:48,440
Speaker 22: Want to win.

2350
02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 2: Guess what, Austin, it's not your money, you know.

2351
02:09:53,360 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just saying, like they they've obviously moved

2352
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 3: a ton of money around and they can do it

2353
02:09:57,760 --> 02:10:01,000
Speaker 3: again next year with They'll just keep doing For running backs,

2354
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 3: you just don't I feel like I don't see that much.

2355
