Speaker 2: James to the University of Cincinnati men's basketball program as

00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: talk a little Bearcat football as well. Let's do so

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: with the man from Bearcat Journal himself, Chad Breundle. Nice

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: enough to join us today, Chad, how are you doing.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: Good? It was Kegan not available today or well.

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: With news like this, Chad, you got to go right

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: right to the top of the food chain. I feel like, okay, okay,

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: you and I have spoke. We spoke about this on

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: air last time. I think you filled in for Moegger

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: about Gigsel James just kind of being around, and you know,

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: he's being showed on the jumbo tron and then all

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I flip on the game over the

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: weekend at Georgia and he traveled and he's there in

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: Georgia with the team. And fast forward to today, we

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: know now that Gisel James is back on the roster.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: What has changed from the statements we've heard all along

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: from west Miller that he's not going to be on

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: the team this year but he's around the team. What

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: has changed from then to now?

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: Well, then they were either undefeated or had a close

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: loss at against Louisville, and now there's.

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Six and four and about to go into the Big twelve.

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: So I mean, you know, we can get into this

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: a million different ways.

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: And I can tell you.

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: There's concerns about Dalen Cells team's back, and Tyler McKinley's knee,

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: and with Jalen Haynes already out there, they're getting pretty

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: low on numbers.

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 3: And you know those things are to an extent true.

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 4: But they need a spark, they need they better find

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: something because what they're doing isn't working.

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: And on January third, you host Houston, and if.

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: You're gonna figure it out, the time to figure it out.

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: That clock is ticking.

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: Gisel is that practice.

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: He's been working with the team, So I guess you

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: see if it works.

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: So for me, it's one thing to say, Okay, Gizzle's

50
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: back on the team. It's another thing to say, Okay,

51
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: how does Jizzle impact this team? Kerkkrisa has not been

52
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: what the Bearcats I think had hoped in any sense

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: that he would be. I know Tillery, he has seen

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: his minutes diminishing. You still have Daydae Thomas. We watched

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: Day Day and Jizzle a lot last year. How does

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: he help this team at the guard position?

57
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: He gives you a high major guard.

58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: And look, there are reasons to be concerned about Jizzle's

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: overall game. I talked about it a lot last year.

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: He's inefficient. He takes a lot of tough twos, he

61
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: doesn't shoot well from three, he doesn't get to the

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: free throw line a lot For a team that's struggling

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: in offensive efficiency. This isn't just a you know, plug

64
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: this guy in and all of a sudden the offense

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: is going to be fixed in.

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: A lot of ways.

67
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: But he's also a guy that scores a lot of

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: points for a team that struggles to score points. Yeah,

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: so some of it you're gonna have to and look,

70
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: they've lived with it for two years, they're going to

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: live with it for the rest of this year. It

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: looks like like, you know that there are some shortcomings,

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: some things that he doesn't exactly you know, do that

74
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 4: jump off the page. But you can put the ball

75
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: in his hands and you're pretty confident that he's going

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: to be able to put points on the board. It

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: might be you know, four of thirteen putting points on

78
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: the board, but you're adding a guy that can get

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 4: you fifteen to twenty points on any given night for

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: a team that's struggling to score like that.

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: That's the most obvious thing. I think.

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Is there a confidence issue in the team anytime a

83
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: team struggles early in the season, I would I would

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: believe you you worry about confidence. Does this bearcat roster

85
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: at this point in your opinion, have a confidence issue?

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: I think the Georgia game would say absolutely, because at

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: you know, at the early points of that game, things

88
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: looked really good. But then you know, they held up,

89
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: like they got out to that nine point lead, and

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: they held it for a while, and you're looking at

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: it and going, Okay.

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: We didn't see like Louisville.

93
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: They got up early, and then Louisville erased that deficit

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: in the blank of an eye, right, But then the

95
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: problem started and Georgia started to get going a little bit,

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: and Cincinnati didn't have any answers, and then as you

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 4: got through the second half, it progressively got worse. That

98
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: tells me there's a confidence issue. That tells me that

99
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: they don't have anything that they really believe in to

100
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: stop the bleeding. You know, I think there was a

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: point in the second half they were down seven, they

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: had gotten a couple stops, and if the offense had

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: been functional and productive, you can get right back in

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: that game.

105
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: And that's It's an okay Georgia team.

106
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be fine in the SEC,

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: but I don't think they're gonna be competing for an

108
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: SEC championship like that big team. You should be able

109
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: to get back in that game and at worst, you know,

110
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: battle to the end, and instead they had a couple

111
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: of possessions go the wrong way and next thing you know,

112
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: it's thirteen, then it's fifteen, then it's seventeen. And that

113
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: tells me, Yeah, they're searching.

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: For what do we do when you know, when things.

115
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Stop working, how do we get out of it? How

116
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: do we get back on track? And I think we've

117
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: seen that in all these games that they've lost, or

118
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: the games that they haven't.

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: Played well in. They play well in fits and starts.

120
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: They'll play well for five.

121
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: Seven minute stretches, and then there'll be a ten minute

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: stretch that it looked like you know, they all just

123
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: met each other in June.

124
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: And that's not conducive to winning at a high level,

125
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: is it?

126
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: And I get you. You turn back to Jisel and

127
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: maybe you find a spark there. You know this team

128
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: better than anyone, Chad. Is it too late for this

129
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: team to turn this season around? When you look at

130
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm watching a lot of basketball Arizona BYU Houston. You

131
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: can go up and down the list teams in the

132
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: top ten, teams in the top twenty five, teams that

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: are just outside the top twenty five. You watch basketball,

134
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: You've watched this team and I know they have talented players.

135
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: Is it too late for this team to turn it around,

136
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: or do you see a path in which they could

137
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: get things turned around for this season.

138
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: I have a hard time seeing it, if we're being honest.

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you've got six or seven teams at the

140
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: top of this league. I just don't how do they

141
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: beat Houston Arizona BYU Texas Tech. You know, you go

142
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: to Kansas, you go down the list, and I just

143
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: I look at those games and I go out of Cincinnati.

144
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: Win a couple to get back in this thing, They're

145
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: gonna have to get a couple of big scalps. You're

146
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to have a couple. You start at

147
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: six and four, you're in a hole. You've got a

148
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: ton of grant with Yeah, a good cleansing team that's

149
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: well coached, and they're gonna make you pay for for

150
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: mistakes that you make. So yeah, like, you have to

151
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: beat Clemson Sunday. Don't feel great about that. Let's not talk,

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: Let's not look over. I was say, let's come was

153
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: leading Duke yesterday for a good portion of that game.

154
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: That's the after Christmas, the dreaded after Christmas game that

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: teams have always kind of looked flat in so yeah,

156
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 4: I don't. The path is, uh, the path has grown

157
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: over with thickets and thorns, and uh you better have

158
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: a real good machete to slice your way through it.

159
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we knew the tough of the top of

160
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: this league was going to be tough, but did they

161
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: can they beat an improved Oklahoma State team? Uh? You

162
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: know there's a couple in that group that boy, if

163
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: you lose one or two of those games, sure, then

164
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: you're you're swimming even farther upstream. And do you feel

165
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: good about this team going on the road and beating

166
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: anybody at this point in time?

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: So that includes.

168
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: Clemson and nine Big Twelve games. So it doesn't feel great, Tony.

169
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: And you know this is probably why Gisel James is

170
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: coming back tonight, if we're being completely honest.

171
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Outside of that, the football squad is preparing for a

172
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 2: bowl game and they're doing so with a very depleted

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: now secondary. They don't have their cornerback coach anymore. He's gone.

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: Brendan soaresby ha left. How difficult is this game itself

175
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: gonna beach at against a navy the naval account me

176
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: who will not be resting players? No players are opting

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: out of the bowl game for Navy, a team that

178
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: leads the nation in rushing yards per game. How difficult

179
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: One is the opponent for the bowl game, and two

180
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: putting together the roster and preparing with players that are

181
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: opting out and leaving.

182
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, if you're in Cincinnati situation where

183
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: you got guys preparing for the draft and guys entering

184
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: the transfer portal and you're going into bowl season, the

185
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: last thing you want to see is Navy pop up

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: as your opponent. Yeah, they are going to be exactly

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: who they are that they are going to play one

188
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: thousand miles an hour. They are going to play a

189
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: brand of football that I mean, there's what like four

190
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: guys on this roster that didn't even really play when

191
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: Cincinnati left the American Athletic Conference.

192
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: Like, they don't know Navy and what did we.

193
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: See If you go back to when Davy entered the

194
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: AAC early, when you're first getting a look at Navy

195
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: in the triple option, it's really difficult. I mean, they

196
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: rush for what eight thousand yards in that one game

197
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: in twenty seventeen or whatever it was, and then, as usual,

198
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: saw them more and more and more the team became

199
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: familiar with it, and they were able to shut them down.

200
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: But in a one off.

201
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: That's the danger of playing Navy is it's new. It's

202
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: something you're not used to. It's a style you're not

203
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: accustomed to, and they just are unrelenting in attacking you offensively.

204
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: Their defense is not great. But you're without Brendan Soresby.

205
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: You're probably gonna be without Tywie Walker.

206
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: And Evin Pryor. Your line is there.

207
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: I think you're going to have most of your wide receivers,

208
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 4: so there will be something. There will be something to

209
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 4: fall back on. But boy, you're definitely not looking at

210
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: one of the most efficient offenses in the country. And Tony,

211
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,479
Speaker 4: how much did we talk about time of possession?

212
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: Oh boy?

213
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: This year?

214
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: Yes? Correct?

215
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: What fifty to ten?

216
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: Yep?

217
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: On January third?

218
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: Like, what's the record for what a team has possessed

219
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: the ball?

220
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 3: That part terrifies me.

221
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. And now the possessions, Chad become

222
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: even more important. And you're gonna be running possessions without

223
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: Brendan Sorosby. I know we'll talk about the Bowl game

224
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: with Samas Jones and Brady Lichtenberg. I would have to

225
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: imagine that the answer for quarterback next year is not

226
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: currently on this roster.

227
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: I can't imagine that it is. Look, I'm sure Samas

228
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: Jones is going to have a chance to compete for

229
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: the starting job. They had a bunch of money to

230
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: pay Brendan Soresby. Do I think they're gonna go pay

231
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: a quarterback what they were willing.

232
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: To pay Soresby?

233
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: No, nor should you unless it's one of the you know,

234
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: absolute top guys in this class. And I don't think

235
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: that's going to happen. But you've got money to go

236
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: get a starting quarterback, you have to go do that.

237
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: You have to find a guy that you believe in

238
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: and that fits your system and that you think.

239
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,479
Speaker 3: I really think it's important in this era.

240
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: Of college football that they do what they did with

241
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: Brendan Soarsby. You find a little bit of a younger

242
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: guy that you trust and you've watched the.

243
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Tape and you think that you can get not just one.

244
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 4: But hopefully at least two good years out of And

245
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: that's that's what they're going to be tasked with.

246
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: How how difficult does the rebuild become? And I know

247
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: we've had this conversation three years, five wins, seven wins.

248
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: But if you look at this roster, and Keegan has

249
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: pointed this out before, this roster has NFL talent. They've

250
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: got a quarterback, they had a quarterback in Swersby who's

251
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: going to go make a lot of money elsewhere at

252
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: a high major school. Do you view this year as

253
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: a disappointment because on the outside, I think a lot

254
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: of people at the start of the year would say, Okay,

255
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: seven wins, I'll get on board with that. The way

256
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: in which it happened, with the talent that this roster had,

257
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: does seven now looking back on it feel a little

258
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: bit disappointing.

259
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: It feels like a missed opportunity.

260
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's we're in this world now

261
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: where everything is like awesome or everybody has to be fired,

262
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: like there's no middle ground in sports anymore. I think

263
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: the season was okay, but I think you missed your

264
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: The window was as open as it was going to

265
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: possibly get, especially at seven to one going into November

266
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: and having a chance to compete all the way to

267
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: the end for a spot in the conference championship game. Yeah,

268
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: and look, Utah beat them like Utah was clearly the superior.

269
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: Team that day.

270
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: For sure.

271
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: Arizona and BYU Cincinnati did not play well and were

272
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: still within one score late in the fourth quarter. Yeah,

273
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: you got the ball against Arizona down six with a

274
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: chance to win the game. You've got BYU down six.

275
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: If you get a stop, you're gonna get the ball

276
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: back and have a chance to win the game. And

277
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: they didn't get it done in either of those situations.

278
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: And then I think you could you could feel it, Tony.

279
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: You were there, you would know better than me. They

280
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: felt deflated against TCU because they were playing for the

281
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: conference championship the entire way, and that was possible all

282
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: the way through the end of.

283
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: The BYU game. And then it looked like kind of

284
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,119
Speaker 3: the wheels sell off in Fort Worres.

285
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: But I don't think that Arizona, BYU or TCU were or.

286
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: It didn't look like Utah, where Utah was just supremely talented.

287
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: They were the better built, better agreed constructed, better performing

288
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: football team. You had three opportunities even just to get

289
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: that one win, to get to eight and feel like

290
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: this season was a.

291
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: Big success at seven.

292
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: Losing your last four, now you're staring down the barrel

293
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: of Navy, or you might lose your last five again

294
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: to end the season. It's hard to say that's anything

295
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: but a disappointment.

296
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, it is a tough time right now

297
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: around the University of Cincinnati again. Gisel James back Alabama

298
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: State tonight a game on Sunday. There is a lot

299
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: out there as it relates to the Cincinnati Bearcats. Chand

300
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: for those looking to to follow along with the coverage

301
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: or maybe gift that coverage to someone in their lives

302
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: that's a Bearcat fan. Now, what do you got going on?

303
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: A Bearcat journal?

304
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: Obviously everything you could possibly want to know about, all

305
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: the things that you just mentioned. Uh, we've got the

306
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: podcast and video network. Keegan does a phenomenal job on

307
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 4: the writing side covering everything that's going on. We'll see

308
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: what happens tonight with Alabama State. You're not You're not

495
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: let's start in Montgomery. Brian, what's up? Hey, I'm going

496
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: How are you?

497
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 6: Thanks for choosing the great city of Montgomery.

498
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I was calling.

499
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 6: Uh, you know the last three games of the Bengals. Obviously,

500
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 6: draft position worries me. The thing that worries me the

501
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: most is like last year where they used the last

502
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 6: few games against bad quarterbacks as an excuse as to

503
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 6: why Gino Stonus, that's a great safety and gonna improve

504
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 6: he improved so much and this and that, And I

505
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 6: feel like they're going to probably use that same sentiment

506
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 6: with some of their players. I would particularly like linebacker, corners, safety,

507
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 6: Like the safeties are still there obviously with they needed

508
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: they needed to overhaul both safeties, both linebackers.

509
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 3: Uh. Defensive ay actually looks a.

510
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 6: Little better now that Miles Murphy is playing a little

511
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: bit better. But I'm really scared about these last couple

512
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 6: of games they're gonna use. I mean, they're playing against

513
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 6: what quint viewers Jacobe brist.

514
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: And uh and uh Dower Sanders.

515
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm hoping both in the day can make

516
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 6: them look good. Uh they have career games because uh,

517
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 6: they we really needed overhaul and they I feel like

518
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 6: they use that as an excuse as to why they

519
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 6: didn't make many changes except for a coordinator and just

520
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 6: said that we need knew a new coordinator that obviously

521
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 6: look at the Colts, to look at the Bengals and

522
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 6: look how that turned out. So sure, the players on

523
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 6: the field are what it was what And unfortunately they

524
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 6: lack a lot of talent on defense. Uh even though

525
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 6: that they just drafted two young linebackers and a bad

526
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: linebacker Jeb. Yeah, so hopefully they can get better evaluation too.

527
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: So for sure, Brian, thank you man. Yes, sir, I

528
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: think that's the big thing. You You can't allow the

529
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: last three weeks to change what the majority of the

530
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: season's been. And I think we got caught up in

531
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of that last year with the way

532
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: they ended the stretch. And again you are, it's Quen

533
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 2: you weres, it's Jacoby Brissett and at Shador Sanders. That

534
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: cannot change how bad this season has been. Brian and

535
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: Ford Thomas. What's up?

536
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 7: Oh hey guys, how you guys going good?

537
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: Good good?

538
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 7: I was calling about that lovely press conference. I fashed

539
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 7: my book and I turned that on as just a

540
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 7: just a breath of fresh air. I mean we hit

541
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 7: on all six draft picks.

542
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, I was. I was confused by that comment.

543
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, the one I hasn't been active and he is active,

544
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 7: he's he's lost and the other guys that's been the

545
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 7: worst defense, the bangles of a head and how many years.

546
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 7: I mean, they were horrendous most of the year, and

547
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 7: it was largely part of that draft. I just come on, Zach,

548
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 7: like you hit it all and you're happy of the

549
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 7: process when you haven't been selecting good players and come on,

550
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 7: kidnap breaks act.

551
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: This is a joke.

552
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I don't think that that went over

553
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: all that well. I'm completely in agreement, Brian, thank you

554
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: for your phone call as well. Yeah, Austin when he

555
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: said that, I I kind of was taken back a

556
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: little bit. I don't think all six picks have been hit.

557
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: And Ben Baby kind of followed up with you know,

558
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: do you use this time to get younger plays? He said,

559
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: we've played all six guys. Yeah, well there's more to

560
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: it than that. Okay, just because you played, Okay, one

561
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 2: more here and then we'll get a b. We'll get

562
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: to moagor in just a moment.

563
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 8: What's up, Paul, Hey, I got a little kidbit for

564
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 8: you about Brady Lichtenberg. His grandfather was actually the coach

565
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 8: at Ohio University.

566
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: A lot of people did know this.

567
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 8: His son, Tom Junior, which was top Tom Senior was

568
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 8: the head coach at Ohio University. Tom Junior actually went

569
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 8: by the name of Bubba Lichtenburg. He was actually a

570
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 8: quarterback in Athens High School and he was like the

571
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 8: talk of the town before Joe Burrow. I actually play

572
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 8: against him in high school and he did something, well,

573
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 8: it was a scrimmage, but he did something that I

574
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 8: still can't I still have never seen anyone do it.

575
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 8: I was I was a defensive end and I was

576
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 8: I got off the end and I'm chasing him. He's

577
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 8: a right headed quarterback, so I'm chasing into his left

578
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 8: I'm thinking he's either running out of bound or bounds

579
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 8: or I'm gonna plow him. The guy switches the ball

580
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 8: and throws a twenty five yard completed.

581
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: Pass with his left head.

582
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

583
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: Seen that ever in my life.

584
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 8: Now, whatever happened to Bubba? That is so funny is

585
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 8: I found out? When I saw that name on the

586
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 8: UC's roster, I was like, there's no way that can't

587
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 8: be his kids, and that his kid.

588
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,600

00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,600

00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: Yes it is. It's time for quick hits. I was

Speaker 5: Span or the ball on anybody else, because weea beyond wow.

630
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: Of of the NBA Cup, of the NBA Cup. How

631
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: are you doing? Wonderful NBA Cup last night? It also

632
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: James returns today. Life is good.

633
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 10: Zach Taylor, Zach Taylor making the show easy for me

634
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 10: to do. Life is good, you know, amid this period

635
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 10: of darkness in Cincinnati sports, here you have this beacon

636
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 10: of hope coming from Las Vegas, the New York Knicks

637
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 10: winning the NBA Cup Championship, avenging their finals loss to

638
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 10: the San Antonio Spurs. From twenty seven years ago or

639
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 10: twenty six, twenty six years ago, almost twenty seven years ago.

640
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 10: Winning last night and not hanging a banner, because hang

641
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 10: them all at the same time next fall.

642
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: That's the thing for me. Not hanging the banner, that

643
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: tells me that they are bigger goals ahead of this team.

644
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: We'll enjoy this one, yeah, but we're not. We're not

645
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 2: gonna sit back and celebrate this and we're not hanging

646
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: n banners. We're not hanging NBA Cup banners. It's championship

647
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: or bust for this knicksticks.

648
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 10: It's like when we we got out our Halloween decorations,

649
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 10: I also pulled out the Christmas decorations, right, I'm not

650
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 10: gonna kind of did both at the same time.

651
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: Right, talk at the Halloween stuff.

652
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 10: I know, why why go out of my way to

653
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 10: put up the Halloween stuff if I'm just gonna have

654
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 10: to go back and put up the Christmas stuff.

655
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: So I sort of put them both up together.

656
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 10: Same principal applies for the NBA Cup banner and possibly

657
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 10: an NBA Championship banner.

658
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: The NBA Cup and the title in the same year

659
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: never determines what banners go up, because I know that

660
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: you know, Billy Joel has a banner, Harry Styles has

661
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: a banner. If you go to.

662
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 10: Heritage Bank Center, they have a banner for fans for

663
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 10: the Cyclones.

664
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 2: Yea, that is pretty funny fans. I think Pete Rose

665
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: has his number reaching he does, he does, he does

666
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: often drop one time. We just wanted to hat.

667
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 10: So yes, NBA Cup Champions, congratulations, thanks so much.

668
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: What else you got coming up today?

669
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 10: Things are not going well for the Bengals right now,

670
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 10: right would you agree? Why did Zach Taylor make them worse?

671
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 10: Like to me today, your job is to ensure that

672
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 10: we're not making it worse, and Zach Taylor just made

673
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 10: it worse.

674
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: Yep, Like they can't do the easy stuff. They can't.

675
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 10: Just hey, look, I'm signed for two more years. Don't

676
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 10: really want to talk about it. I hope I'm here

677
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 10: for the rest of my career. Like why now this

678
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 10: The problem is Zach Taylor is the spokesperson for this franchise.

679
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: Mike Petralia pointed out many times today.

680
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 10: I'm surprised Zach wasn't forced to answer questions about the

681
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 10: snow not being blown off the seats. But there's what

682
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 10: I want to get to today, Why why make things worse?

683
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 3: Why?

684
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 10: Zach had to know those questions were coming, He had

685
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 10: to have why make things worse by being a jerk?

686
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 10: And by the way, just so, and I'll talk about

687
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 10: this today as well, so I'm not accused of just,

688
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 10: you know, taking random shots at Zach Taylor. His question

689
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 10: about the twenty nineteen Dolphins game awesome. I do not

690
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 10: expect a head coach to talk about the bright side

691
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 10: of losing. I thought those were great answers talking about

692
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 10: that game in Miami, which did change the trajectory the

693
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 10: franchise because fortunately they lost. But like when it comes

694
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 10: to your contract, what is the harmon going? Look, I

695
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 10: want the focus to be on this team in this game.

696
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 10: But yeah, I got two more years. I hope I'm

697
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 10: here for another twelve. Grateful to be here.

698
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: We didn't announce it.

699
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 10: I had my reasons, the organization had its reasons, But yeah,

700
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 10: I'm here for two years.

701
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: Can we talk about something else?

702
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 10: And I think most there would have been like, okay, cool,

703
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 10: let's talk about Quinn yours or Shamar Stewart or will

704
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 10: come up with something interesting about this game?

705
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: On Some had to fact check, though there was a

706
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: point where one of his quotes was that they hit

707
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: on all six picks this year. Are we confident in

708
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: calling all six picks hits for this team? Shamar Stewart

709
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: not sure. Barrett Carter, No, if that's a hit, played

710
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 2: a good game on had a good game. But I'm

711
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: not sure anything about TODs Brooks because now some a

712
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: JP Ryan's getting the most carries. Yeah, Dylan farridshot Eth

713
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 2: thinks pretty good, all six picks hits. No, happy with

714
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: the development, happy with the scouting department, complete alignment, loves

715
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 2: working side by side with Duke Tobin. I don't believe

716
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: this complete alignment. I don't either, man, And you know,

717
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: I said Austin said, it might be my favorite Zach

718
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: press conference. There's so much there.

719
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 10: The best part was like the little smirk when it

720
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 10: was brought up to him, like, well, we're not allowed

721
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 10: to talk to ownership, and I just had this look

722
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 10: on his face like I don't know if I admire that, yeah,

723
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 10: but I don't know if I despise it. It's a lot,

724
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 10: like a lot, you know, I can't really do this

725
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 10: justice on radio, but he sort of had that smirk

726
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 10: on his face.

727
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: How important is it not to allow whatever happens in

728
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: the next three flood what has happened throughout the first fourteen.

729
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 10: It's important because there is a track record. Go back

730
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 10: to the Andy Dalton game where he eliminated their Ravens

731
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 10: from the postseason on the fourth down toss to Tyler Boyd,

732
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 10: where the Bills fans, you know, gave a bunch of

733
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 10: money to Andy Dalton's foundation, and Mike Brown sat on

734
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 10: the bus and was like, you know, yeah, don't think

735
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 10: where that far away last year and Marvin Lewis, who

736
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 10: was gone, was suddenly not gone.

737
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I last year we did the same thing.

738
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: We talked about how important it was to win down

739
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: the stretch and how that would carry over, and it

740
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: didn't carry over.

741
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

742
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 10: Look, I think these games are important. Shamar Stewart's gonna play, dude,

743
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 10: show me something. I think these games are important for

744
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 10: certain players and you can learn a little bit more

745
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 10: about them. But if they win these three games and

746
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 10: your takeaway is.

747
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: Here, we go, We're good. We don't need to mess

748
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: with Just take the off season off kind of like

749
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: you did last year.

750
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 10: Whatever Airbnb you rented last offseason again, read it again,

751
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 10: and take the coaching staff with you. No, I think

752
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 10: number one, I want Dj Turner to solidify the season

753
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 10: that he has had. I want to see more from

754
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 10: Miles Murphy because the recent glimpses have been very encouraged.

755
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Make a decision on Joseph very encouraging.

756
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 10: And make a decision on Joseph Osai, keep Joe Burrow healthy.

757
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 10: There are play the younger safeties and see if you

758
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 10: have something there. These games aren't meaningless in that regard,

759
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 10: but I I Am not going to allow any amount

760
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 10: of success they have over these last three games. And

761
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 10: by the way, my guess is they win all three.

762
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 10: They should are going up against quinn Ewers and the

763
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 10: Cardinals and the Browns, they should win all three of

764
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 10: these games. I cannot imagine any sane person would walk

765
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 10: away from three victories and go, you know, yeah, what

766
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 10: if only the season were twenty games, this would be

767
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 10: a playoff team, And then you wouldn't want to play them,

768
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 10: would you.

769
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: No, nobody wants to play that. Nobody is going to

770
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: play them because they're not good enough. When the committee

771
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 2: sits down on Sunday, March fifteenth, yeah, and they are weighing,

772
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: you see, and what seed to give them in the

773
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament. Do you have to start with the team

774
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: they were before Gizsel James and the team they will

775
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: be now going forward from tonight.

776
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 10: I don't know that they'll say, well, you know what,
