1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: This is Tony Pike since three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati.

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back our number three since e three sixty,

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. Let's continue along. Let's

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: switch gears a little bit though. Let's talk NFL. Let's

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: talk about what this week is for the National Football League.

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: And before we do that, I think we have some

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: news from a NFL point of view. This from I

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: believe I saw from Ian Rappaport that the Falcons Austin

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: are planning to franchise tag their tight end Kyle Pitts. Yeah,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: keeping their playmaker on the field for a one year,

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed deal worth more than fifteen million, and the

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: hope is to work out a long term deal rather

14
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: than the tag. The two sides have until ly to

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: do it.

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, a really good year for Kyle Pitts this past year,

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: and when you think of the success that David and

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: Joku and some of the others have had under Kevin

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: Stevanski in Cleveland, it makes sense to keep Kyle Pitts

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: around for that new offense. I think what's interesting is

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 3: there's a couple of guys that are tag eligible, Trey

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: Hendrickson being one of them. Kyle Pitts is going to

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: be the guy George. Also George Pickens. Now the Cowboys

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 3: haven't made it official, but Steven Jones, who is second

25
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: in command among the Joneses, have has basically said we're

26
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: going to use the franchise tag on George Pickens. And

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: so the third of March, so ten days from now

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: is the deadline to get that tag submitted in going forward.

29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 3: So I think ESPN did their top free agent rankings.

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: Somebody did new free agent rankings over the weekend and

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: they had George Pickens's the number one available free agent.

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 3: There was another one where Malik Willis was the number

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: one available free agent. So either way, it looks like

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: at least two franchise tags will be used on pass catchers,

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts already officially in Atlanta, and then George Pickens

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: in Dallas.

37
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: The scouting combine starts this week, gets underway this week

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: yesterday you get the arrivals of kickers, d linemen and

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: linebackers and their week will kind of go as follows.

40
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Today they have registration exams, orientation, and then they'll start

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: their team interviews. Those team interviews carry over for the

42
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: next three days Today, Tomorrow and Wednesday. Tomorrow, you get

43
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: your medical exam, you get more team interviews, and then

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: you really start working out on Wednesday and Thursday before

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: departing on Friday, and then everyone else is kind of staggered.

46
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: So registration is happening. Team interviews are happening with the kickers,

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: the d linemen, and linebackers today. As that happens today,

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: the DB's and tight ends get into town, then their

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: days essentially start tomorrow, and then tomorrow running backs, quarterback ins,

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: whiteouts get into town, and then on Wednesday, the same

51
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: thing happens for the O line. So that's kind of

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: how the staggered schedule is going to happen as the

53
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: combine gets here, as it pertains to the Bengals themselves.

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, we just talked about Kyle Pitts, we just

55
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: talked about George Pickens. When you start to look at

56
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: the combine in the lens of just the Cincinnati Bengals

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: Austin is what transpires around Trey hendrickson the top thing

58
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: that you're watching, Because we've already heard that the Bengals

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: will be looking to have conversations around the combine if

60
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: there's a market, if there's an interest from Trey Hendrickson.

61
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: Is that to you the top of what you'll be

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: watching this week?

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Trey, and basically like the next ten

64
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: days are the most important with Trey, do the Bengals

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: decide to use that tag on them or not? And

66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: the answer to that question could be determined by the

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: conversations that are had this week at the Combine. And

68
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: so for that reason, I think it's probably the most

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: influential or the most important or the most noteworthy thing

70
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: that might be happening at the Combine for the Bengals.

71
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: And we've seen that this has been a time in

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: the past where deals get done, where trades get worked

73
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: out and so on, because everybody's basically under one roof

74
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: and you can have those conversations as far as what's

75
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: happening with the players themselves, with the prospects, and I'm

76
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: sure the Bengals are just as enthralled with Caleb Downs

77
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: as everybody else. I'm sure they have their opinions on

78
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: guys like David Bailey and Rubin Bain. I think you

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 3: can start to see the separation between players like that,

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: especially players at the same position. Where we might all

81
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: feel really good about Rubin Bain, the Bengals might feel

82
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: really good about Rubin Bain and they might get an

83
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: up close look at David Bailey and say, Okay, this

84
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: is actually a guy who might move to number one

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: on our board. That sort of where you get a

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: little bit more of an understanding of who a player

87
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: is and how he might fit in your system. And

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: the other part for me is, you know, let's say

89
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: that you know Ruben Bain is gone, that David Bailey

90
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: is gone, that Caleb Downs is gone. Who do the

91
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: Bengals pivot to? Yeah, and is there a guy that

92
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: can impress them this week that they feel comfortable with

93
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: at number ten or is there a guy that they

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: feel like, Okay, well, if all these guys are gone,

95
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: we'll move back a few spots in getar guy.

96
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think again, it starts as we mentioned with

97
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: with the Trey Hendrickson conversation. I think this, to be

98
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: quite honest, I've talked about this before, and I think

99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: it starts at the combine that the Bengals need to

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: do a little bit better job of having more connection

101
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: between the scouting department and the staff of coaches. We've

102
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: talked about the scheme versus the personnel. You've got to

103
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: shore that up. You've got to make sure you're identifying

104
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: You just mentioned the pivot. Okay, does the pivot have

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: the measurables that are desired? But quite frankly, does the

106
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: pivot do they fit in the system you're trying to

107
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: run for too long? I feel like that has been

108
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: questioned a little bit too much for me with the Bengals,

109
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: and the combine is getting away. I think more and

110
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: more from the on the field workouts. We've seen that

111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: in the years past. But make no mistake about it,

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: the value is in those meetings where you're able to

113
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: sit down with these prospects. And we talk about that Austin,

114
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: But what's the conversation we had last year after the

115
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: first round. Here's a guy and Shamar Stewart that didn't

116
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: even remember meeting with the Bengals. Can we make these

117
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: meetings more memorable? Can we leave a little bit more

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: of a lasting impact? Like I get these players are

119
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: meeting with a lot of teams, but the consensus was

120
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: that the Bengals didn't put the full court press on

121
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Shamar Stewart last year before drafting him, vetting everything, Like

122
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: I want the Bengals to have that with everyone they

123
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: meet with. Make sure you know every in and out,

124
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: make sure you know that that's a match both as

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: a player and as a scheme of what you're trying

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: to do, and go from there.

127
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: And I feel like that's a Stewart issue more than.

128
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: Some Biggings issue. It could be, and again that that

129
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: started from the moment he was drafted last year. And

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: then as it's always been Duke Tobin at the podium,

131
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: it is still an interesting thing for me. Now, is

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: he He's scheduled to speak later tomorrow.

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so him and Zach both will be tomorrow afternoon.

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: It'll be after we are on the air Wednesday. We'll

135
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: have that for you on Wednesday.

136
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: But you look at the past and it's not like

137
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: he's showing their full hand. But we had what was

138
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: it a couple of years ago? The was it last year?

139
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago where we had the Duke

140
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: Tobin kind of going to bat for t Higgins at

141
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: the combine where we're not letting them getting away. I

142
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: don't know if we'll hear anything like that, but it

143
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: is always interesting to hear not only from Duke, but

144
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: but to hear from Zach Taylor and kind of where

145
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: where they're at with things.

146
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the most interesting question to be asked of.

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: Both of them.

148
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: Number one, you know, Kelsey Conway reported last week that

149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: the Bengals are going to spend this week trying to

150
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: figure out what they want to do with Trey Hendrickson

151
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: and what other teams value him as. And so if

152
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: that's the case, I want some more clarification from Duke

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: on that. I just want to say, Hey, what are

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: you looking for in return for Trey? Have you had

155
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: those conversations? Is a tag on the table, Like, get

156
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: as much information on that particular situation as I can.

157
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: And then as far as as Zach Taylor is concerned,

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: I would love to know, does he, as the head coach,

159
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: want Trey Hendrickson back? Do you actually want this guy

160
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: on your football team? Is the dude Trey that you

161
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: know kind of threw Zach under the bus around this

162
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: time last year and in early March, March or April

163
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: or whatever it was, it's been a dude that's been

164
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: a distraction multiple times and a guy who didn't play

165
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: last year, and it felt like Zach was fed up

166
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: with the situation. So that Zach would answer that question.

167
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: But that's a question that I would ask.

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 2: What do you want? What would you take? What do

169
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: you if someone at the comment said we'll give you

170
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: this for Trey Hendrickson.

171
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: I would take anything right now. And I mean that because,

172
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: like I don't think the Bengals are gonna sign him,

173
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: and so for that reason, I will take whatever you're

174
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: willing to give me for Trey Hendrickson. It's either he

175
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: walks away and they might get a third round pick

176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 3: next year depending on what they spend, or you get

177
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: whatever you can get right now. I'm at the point

178
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: where I will just take whatever I can get because

179
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: it's the third round pick. The compensatory pick you get

180
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: in return is based off of the amount of spinning

181
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: you do in free agency, and I don't want that

182
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: to hamstring the Bengals. So I'll take a fourth, I'll

183
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: take a fifth, whatever you can give me for Trey.

184
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm ready to move on.

185
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I at this point, it's not only what

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: you're gonna lose with Trey Hendrickson or to me, it's

187
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: about your off season, just avoiding the holdups. Right, We've

188
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: tabbed this and really every other offseason going forward as

189
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: the most important offseason and what it feels like in

190
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Bengals history. The longer this Trey Hendrickson situation looms, the

191
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: more uncertainty. I think it just brings around everything else.

192
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: Like I'm with you. If it's like, hey, we moved on,

193
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: We're moving Trey for a fifth round pick, I don't

194
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: think the consensus would be what that's all you got

195
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: for him. I think the consensus would be good, they

196
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: made a decision, they got something, and now we can

197
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: move on to the next order of business. That to me, like,

198
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: that's why one.

199
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: Out of it. I don't know if I agree with that.

200
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: I think people would freak out if they got a

201
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: fifth I'm not saying they should opposed.

202
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: To what what else are they gonna get? He's gonna

203
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: walk regardless.

204
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: People are gonna be mad because they think Trey is

205
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: Reggie White.

206
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be the first to say he's not.

207
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: He's not.

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: But I mean there will be a segment of the

209
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: fan base because Trey is still good and as we've

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: talked about. He's listed by several outlets as the number

211
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: one available free agent. It will feel like your football

212
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: team gets worse with his departure, and I get where

213
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: people are coming from. I don't necessarily buy that fully,

214
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: and I haven't for a while, but there will be

215
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: a segment of people that feel that way. Yeah, I'm

216
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: just I'm more, especially considering the draft history. I'm more

217
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: looking at the landscape of just what the offseason is

218
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: correct and how much this team has to do. Make

219
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: the decision, move on and do it confidently, and do

220
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: it quickly, and then get back to whatever else needs

221
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: to be addressed and whatever else you need to do

222
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: going forward to make sure that by the time the

223
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: draft comes, you already know where you're at a as

224
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: a as a program. I also look at it through

225
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: the lens of not necessarily what they should do, but

226
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: what I expect them to do. They should have gotten

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: a deal done with Trey years ago. That makes more

228
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: sense they didn't. I don't expect them to sign him back.

229
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: I think that relationship has run its course, and so

230
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: I expect him to let let them let him walk.

231
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: So for that reason, I hope that somebody comes up

232
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: to say we'll give you a fourth round pick, and

233
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: the Bengals are like, you know what, Hell, yeah, let's

234
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: do and then you go from there.

235
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, phone lines are open five one, three, seven, four nine,

236

246
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: It's mock Draft Monday. Before we dive into that. Austin

247
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: real quick update. Pac Man Jones pleaded guilty to assaulting

248
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: an officer during his Northern Kentucky arrest. He was arrested

249
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: in June of twenty twenty five. According to bodycam footage,

250
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: bar employees told him to set down a glass of wine.

251
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: He then chopped an employe in the throat and then

252
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: when the police took him into custody. He pushed back

253
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: on an officer, resulting in a minor injury. So pac

254
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: Man pleaded guilty to felony assault charge. He also pleaded

255
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: guilty to several misdemeanor charges, which right now carry a

256
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: recommended sentenced time in prison of eighteen months. Good So,

257
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: the former Cincinnati Bengal Pacman Jones has been in the

258
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: news again recently. Let me do this, Austin. Before I

259
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: tell you who this mock draft is from, I'm going

260
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: to read through the mock draft.

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: Oh got it. I don't want you to be I

262
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: don't want you to look ahead. We got to hit

263
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: the sounder.

264
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

265
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: The pick is in.

266
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Okay, it's time for Monday on Sincy three sixty.

267
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: You like, write it down or something. People worked really

268
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: hard on.

269
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: That, Josh Man, play it again.

270
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: The pick is in.

271
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: It's time for mock draft Monday on Sincy three sixty.

272
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: There we go, all right.

273
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: Let me read through these first ten picks, okay, and

274
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: then I will give you who the mock draft is from.

275
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: All right.

276
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: Round one, twenty twenty six NFL Draft, the Las Vegas

277
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: Raiders select Fernando Mendoza. Now I saw Austin.

278
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: Really.

279
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: Dan Orlovsky tweeted today that he has started his film

280
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: study of and Mendoza. He's gotten through the first five

281
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: games and he is surprised at what he's seen. Is

282
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: there any wiggle room at all that they don't pick

283
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: Mendoza when number one?

284
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: I wouldn't think so? Okay?

285
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: Number two, The New York Jets select David Bailey okay,

286
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: edge rusher Texas Tech.

287
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: Maybe a more complete player than rvel Reese.

288
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: Sure Number three. Arizona Cardinals select edge rusher Ruben bain So.

289
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: Back to back edge rushers at number two and number three.

290
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: Number four, The Tennessee Titans select from Ohio State rvel

291
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: Reese okay. Number five. The New York Giants select Francis

292
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: What's it Maui Noah Maui, Noah tackle Miami Number six Austin.

293
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns select from Ohio State Caleb Downs oh Interesting.

294
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: Number seven to the Washington Commanders, goes Mansword Delane. Number

295
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: eight to the New Orleans Saints. Goes to Ohio State

296
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: wide receiver Carnell Tate Nice. That is three Ohio State

297
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: players in the top eight of the NFL Draft. Here

298
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: we go number nine. The Kansas City Chiefs select Jeremiah Love,

299
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: oh running back Notre Dame Love, which brings us to

300
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: pick number ten.

301
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

302
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: The Cincinnati Bengals select Sunny Styles, junior linebacker Ohio State.

303
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: It says this Sunny Styles has similar athleticism to Rvel Reese,

304
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: but he's a better asset and coverage. If Reese is

305
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: the best front seven kind of defensive weapon, Styles might

306
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: be the best back seven defender experience playing both safety

307
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: and linebacker, the Bengals can use him in a wide

308
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: variety of ways. Styles can over pursue his run lanes

309
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: and get washed out when there's a mess in front

310
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: of him, But it's hard to argue with his athletic profile, production, pedigree,

311
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: and versatility. Now, let alone, five Io State players picked

312
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: in the top ten is very impressive. This mock draft

313
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: comes courtesy of our friends at AZ Sports. Oh John Shearon,

314
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: our friend who joins us during the football stage. John

315
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: from A to Z Sports, this is a disease mock draft.

316
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: So your thoughts on Sunny Styles to the Cincinnati Bengals.

317
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: I think he's a beast. I think he's a really

318
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: good player. He's an elite tackler. The Bengals need production

319
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: like him at linebacker, but I don't think they would

320
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: do it. The reason I don't think they would do

321
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: it is because they just spent two premium picks on

322
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 3: that position. I think they're going to sign a veteran

323
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: and free agency, And on top of that, the fifth

324
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: year option franchise tag thing with linebackers is screwed up

325
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: by the NFL. They like, if I'm not mistaken, I

326
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 3: don't entirely understand it, but basically treated like edge rushers,

327
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: which means they would be paid an absurd amount of

328
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: money on a franchise tag like we're talking about Trey

329
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: Henderson Max Crosby money. Sure, So I don't think that

330
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: that would happen, but I do think that he would

331
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: immediately be the best tackler on the team.

332
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 4: So my question becomes this, Emmon Jalen Davis.

333
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: In a setting like this, Miami's tackle is gone, Reuben

334
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: Bain is gone, David Bailey is gone, r Vel Reese

335
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: is gone, Caleb Downs is gone, Mansoord Delaney is gone,

336
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 2: Carnel Tate's off the board. In a situation like this,

337
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: would you look to trade back or some of the

338
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: picks that happen on this mock draft right after the

339
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: Bangal Jermad McCoy, the corner we've talked about from Tennessee.

340
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: Keldrick Falk is listed at going number twelve to the

341
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. Other names thirteen, mackay Lemon, wide receiver Ravens.

342
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: It has them selecting Caleb Banks, the d lineman from Florida,

343
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: Spencer Fano from the Tampa Bay Bucks. The offensive tackle

344
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: is who they have him. So in a situation like

345
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: this where all of those players are picked in the

346
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: top nine, do you do you have a preference or

347
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: would you be open to moving back if it played

348
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: out like that.

349
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm open to moving back, But I'm trying to think

350
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: who's the guy that teams would want to move up

351
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: for sure? If man Seward Delane is already off the board,

352
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: could it be is j Jami McCoy, That's what I'm saying,

353
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: possibly him, Especially you think of a team like the

354
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: Rams Keldrick Fault, they could potentially move up. Keldrick Fulk

355
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 3: has kind of falling down draft boards a little bit.

356
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: Maybe Dallas would move up to up a spot and

357
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: the Bengals have had history with Dallas and trades. But

358
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: if you think about it, Baltimore is right there at fourteen,

359
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: you're not going to trade back with them. Pittsburgh is

360
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: at twenty one, You're not going to trade back with them.

361
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Cleveland's at twenty four, you're not going to trade back

362
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: with them. I don't know if there's a player kind

363
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: of similar to what happened last year that a team

364
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: is going to get crazy for, but maybe at number ten.

365
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't know why it would be completely off the table.

366
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: What I find interesting about this mock draft from aight

367
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: is E Sports is they do a seven rounder, so

368
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 2: they have the Bengals at number ten taking a linebacker.

369
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 2: In the second round, they have the Bengals going tackle

370
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: with Caden Proctor. In the third round, they come back

371
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: with Genesis Smith, a safety from Arizona at the beginning,

372
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: and then in the fourth.

373
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: Round that's what I would nickname him.

374
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: They have them taking Jalen Farmer, who's an interior offensive

375
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: lineman from Kentucky.

376
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: Any relation to Kyle Nope.

377
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: So in the top four they go o line in

378
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: two of those picks, which I just think is interesting

379
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: of a way to view it. If you're looking at

380
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: the Bengal stance. By the way, in round six, Cincinnaty

381
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: Bank Cyrus Allen wide receiver Cincinnati. Oh about that? Yeah,

382
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: pretty cool there, But yes, I think it. I think

383
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: it interesting because this is kind of the first mock

384
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: draft that I've gone through that it's like, I'm not like,

385
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: I can be sold last week we did a tackle.

386
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: I could be sold on a tackle based on the

387
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: work they get done.

388
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: Before the draft.

389
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: I could be sold easily on Caleb Downs. And if

390
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: a guy like Ruben Bain or David Bailey were around,

391
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: then I think that's an easy choice. I think I

392
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: think this is the first one where I'm like, does

393
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: it make sense to do that there?

394
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: I think in a situation like this, and in a

395
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: situation kind of like the one. There was another one

396
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 3: I was reading this morning in which it had Ruben

397
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: Bain falling to the Bengals at number ten, But it

398
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: also had in the first round four defensive tackles taken

399
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: in the first round. If you think about it, that

400
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: class of free agent defensive tackles is remarkably thin, remarkably thin.

401
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 3: There's just not a lot of guys out there, and

402
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: I think tier Tart already signed an extension with the Chargers,

403
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: so he's not going to be available. And I wonder

404
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: if there are guys like Caden McDonald at Ohio State,

405
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: like Caleb Banks from Florida. Caleb Banks really improved his

406
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: draft stock based off the way he performed at the

407
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl. Sure, could he have another situation this week

408
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis in which people are like, Okay, this guy

409
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: could be the first defensive tackle taken off the board.

410
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: What about Peter Woods, whose draft stock has tanked over

411
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: the last two months. Could he all of a sudden

412
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: remind people why he was projected to be a top

413
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: ten pick in the NFL Draft a couple of months ago.

414
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: That I think is the position we haven't talked about enough.

415
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that you mentioned that position on

416
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: this mock draft. We've seen Peter Woods fall away to

417
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: the second round. Peter Woods has listened at number twenty

418
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: two on this to the Chargers.

419
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

420
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 3: So the one I was reading this morning, it comes

421
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: from Gennaro I don't know if I'm Spain's Gennaro Felice.

422
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: He's the NFL dot Com editor and he had the

423
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: Bengals taking ruben Bain, but he had at pick number

424
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: twenty five, the Bears taking Caden McDonald at twenty eight,

425
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: the Texans taking Caleb Banks at thirty, the Broncos taking

426
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: Peter Woods at thirty one, the Patriots taking Lee Hunter

427
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: Detackle out of Texas Tech. If that's the If that's

428
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: a possibility, sure where the other defensive tackles that you

429
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: want might not or probably won't make it to you

430
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 3: at the second round. I think there's a decent possibility

431
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: that the Bengals would take one at number ten. I

432
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: don't know if they would take one over ruben Bain junior.

433
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: But in the scenario where like we've seen many times,

434
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: where instead of taking a corner like McCoy or Delaney,

435
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, they're taking a defensive tackle.

436
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting to see how this plays out in the

437
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: h the coming weeks here for the Cincinnati Bengals.

438
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: But again, the point is to be able to take

439
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: whatever the best player is, whether that's a tight end,

440
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: an offensive tackle, a corner, running back. Oh, Jeremiah Love, No,

441
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: we're not taking a damn running back in the top ten,

442
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: all right, It's not just sat up in his seat

443
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: shout out to Kajana Carter though, Man.

444
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: Let's break, let's come back. Uh, let's grab a couple

445
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: of phone calls before we get to Mowegor on ESPN

446
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

447
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 6: Sometimes it.

448
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back since he three to sixty ESPN fifteen thirty

449
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. I did, Uh, I made a mistake.

450
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Chad Brenda was in from Oegar today.

451
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: That's right.

452
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: I believe Moe is heading out the Lubbock, Oh with

453
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 3: the Cats.

454
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: Oh see, I didn't know if what was doing that

455
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: or with UC winning against Kansas. If Chad was like, hey,

456
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm doing the show today, Well, both are possible.

457
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: Okay.

458
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, I wouldn't put it past either one of them

459
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: to Chad coming up here and uh in just under

460
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: ten minutes or so.

461
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: I make the assumption. I'm making the assumption that Dan

462
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: Horde is on combine duty. Oh, that's right, and so

463
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: that's my I'm guessing that's what's going on.

464
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good assumption. Let's grab a phone call.

465
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: I believe we have Greg calling it. Hello, Greg, Hey.

466
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 4: Guys, how's it going good?

467
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 7: So you know, I go to bed late and the

468
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 7: last thing I do is watch Sports Center, and you know,

469
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 7: of course I love the highlights, especially basketball, but to me,

470
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 7: the most incredible athletes are the basketball players. So I

471
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 7: don't know, it's like a week or so ago. They

472
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 7: were focusing on this kid from Mississippi State, last name Hubbard.

473
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 7: I never heard of him, never saw him, whatever, and

474
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: he launched. He made nine to three pointers, but five

475
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 7: of them were fade aways. And let me tell you,

476
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 7: at least three or four of them, he'd taken one

477
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 7: more step back and he'd be at a half court.

478
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 7: I mean, no exaggeration. In fact, Scott van pell I

479
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 7: think it was Scott Van Pelt. He says, you know,

480
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 7: in all my years of watching basketball, I've never seen

481
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 7: fadeaways like this. So anyway, I look Hubard up and

482
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 7: he's six foot and one hundred and eighty pounds, and

483
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 7: I guess what I'm saying. You know, I remember Oscar

484
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 7: with his his fade away. I alway thought that was cool.

485
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 7: But you know, when I start thinking about a guy

486
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 7: six foot one hundred and eighty pounds and he's and

487
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 7: he's launching that, I guess what I'm saying is is

488
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 7: just incredible of the talent basketball talent in this country. Yeah,

489
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 7: and that scene or makes me excited, you know, for

490
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 7: March Madness.

491
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Greg, I appreciate the call man. Thank you, Austin.

492
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: That was that The player he's referring to, Josh Hubbard.

493
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: Five days ago against Auburn, he was ten of sixteen

494
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: from three for forty six points. The game before that

495
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: he had thirty two. In the game before that, he

496
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: had thirty one.

497
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: Filling it up.

498
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: I will say this, like, I've had a chance. I've

499
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: had a chance to play football. I've had a chance

500
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: to go and watch baseball games. I've had a chance

501
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: to watch basketball games. But if you ever sit close

502
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: to an NBA game, oh my gosh, you realize there's

503
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: nothing like guys in football are big and fast and strong.

504
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: You go to an NBA game and watch those guys

505
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: that are big and strong and how fast they.

506
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 3: Move aliens, It's unbelievable. It's it's hard to fathom. I

507
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: was down, like a explain it. I like walked across

508
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: the court once at a Pacers game when the Bulls

509
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: were there, and I'm like walking past Jokeim Noah and

510
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: Taj Gibson, and I'm like, how like, huh, what, how

511
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: is that possible? And those guys you think about a

512
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 3: guy like Wimby, like they can't say enough about Wimby

513
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: to exaggerate or to fully explain his athleticism in his size,

514
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: Like there's not enough words to describe that.

515
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: I like, it's it's it's it's remarkable to me. It

516
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: truly is how big these guys are.

517
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: By the way you talk about incredible plays, I saw

518
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: one of the nastiest posters I've ever seen at the

519
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: Dayton game on Saturday.

520
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: I went to the UD game. They played du Quesne also.

521
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: Known as Ducane, and Keyante Jones cocked it back tomahawk

522
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 3: slam on this would be defender who's a big fellow himself,

523
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: and it was one of the nastiest poster dunks I've

524
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: ever seen in my life.

525
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: Go look it up, Keyante Jones from Dayton, Man.

526
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: I yeah, I've seen like again. To your point, you

527
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: sit close enough, Yes, you know they're big, but it's

528
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: just how they move. It's unbelievable. And to see that

529
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: at the college level on any given night.

530
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you think of Kevin Durant, Yeah, I mean.

531
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: This slim reaper.

532
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: It is hard to put into perspective unless you are

533
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: there up close. Chad Brundle waits to talk to us

00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 5: Since the three sixteen.

552
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: Was looking for most Moll's not in today now. Some

553
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: have said mo might be traveling to Lubbock, Texas. Others

554
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: have said this is essentially a hostile takeover, where Chad

555
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Brendel Bearcat Journal dot Com has said, look, Bearcats go

556
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: win by sixteen on the road at Kansas. It's not

557
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: the Mowager Show today, Chad brenda Show, the Chad Brendall

558
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: Show today. This's going on.

559
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: That was fun.

560
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 6: That was to see them over the final seven minutes

561
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 6: because that was as nip and tuck back and forth.

562
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 6: I mean, there was what nine ten lead changes in

563
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 6: the first half. It was the moment of all right,

564
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 6: they played thirty good minutes. I've seen this before, now

565
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 6: what and then haymaker haymaker, haymaker, answers answers, and guys

566
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 6: making shots, guys getting good looks and making clean looks.

567
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: It was unique because the largest lead Kansas ever had

568
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: was four. Yeah, but it felt in the first half

569
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: like there were a couple of times you're like, they

570
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: need to stop. You can't let it get out of hand.

571
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: You know what it was for me? It was that

572
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: second segment of the second half. You see when over six,

573
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: I think they had two or three offensive rebounds and

574
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: did score. They couldn't find the basket.

575
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 6: And it was like you're getting chances at Kansas, which

576
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 6: which doesn't happen, and you're letting them slip through your fingers.

577
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 6: I've seen this movie, Like, I know how this goes.

578
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 6: They're playing their tail off. They're playing well enough against

579
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 6: one of the big teams, the big names in the league,

580
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 6: but they're not converting and turning those opportunities into a four,

581
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 6: a six, and eight point lead. And they got to

582
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: that under twelve time out and I'm like, I just

583
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 6: I think they've they've had the chance to create some

584
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 6: separation and they haven't done it. I don't know. And

585
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 6: then man, that under eight stop I.

586
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: Under eight to the under four was like to me,

587
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: it was Peterson makes the three to cut it to one,

588
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: and Dada hits his first basket and it answers right back,

589
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: and then you get the steal and then a Celestine

590
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 2: fall aways three and it's like holy kind of like

591
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: now you think they got a chance to do it

592
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: it It is three out of the four. And I

593
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: mentioned this today. The West Virginia game was a disaster.

594
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: You know, they have a fourteen point lead. They don't

595
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: whether they scored fifty two or fifty four in the game,

596
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: and then afterwards is the West Miller press conference and

597
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: Wes in the tunnel. This team has had every reason

598
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: to fold, it's had every reason to dissolve a million times.

599
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: They've They've put together three of their best four games,

600
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: and the one they won against Utah is a game

601
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: they've lost ten times this year.

602
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, where they just don't have it. Like, look that's

603
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 6: that's sixty five sixty and they ended on a nine

604
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 6: zero run. That's the difference between teams that perpetually lived

605
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 6: just on the wrong side of the bubble and teams

606
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 6: that get in. Is Mick was the master at this. Yeah,

607
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 6: you have Hugs was the master at this. You've got

608
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 6: to find a way to win when your team isn't

609
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 6: at its best, when shots aren't falling, like you have

610
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 6: got to find a way to grind out those wins

611
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 6: so that you can keep the chains moving, so that

612
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 6: you can keep pushing forward. Because guess what, if they

613
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 6: lose to Utah, it doesn't matter what happens to Kansas,

614
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 6: Nobody cares. But they found a way down four ninety

615
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 6: seconds left, they found a way to get that win,

616
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 6: to get a first down, right, like to get into

617
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 6: field goal range or whatever football term you want to use.

618
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 6: But they found a way to tough it out and

619
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 6: keep it alive, and then they go to Kansas and

620
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 6: do the unthinkable.

621
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: Now, look, they're a five and a half point underdog

622
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: officially tomorrow. That sounds against the town, right were you

623
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 2: and I talked off air? JT. Toppen is a Player

624
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: of the Year candidate. Take you would have finished second.

625
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: Texas Tech with Toppin is a national champion contender. Now

626
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: they put a hunter on the board against Kansas State

627
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: in their first game without.

628
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 6: Him, I think me, you, Audi, Taran and Mo might

629
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 6: be able to put one hundred.

630
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 2: We talked about the value of being the second team

631
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: to play a team after they lose a stud and

632
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: that's what us see gets the opportunity to do tomorrow.

633
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 6: Now because there's some there's a bump initially when a

634
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 6: guy goes down. Sure, everybody's like, all right, we got

635
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 6: to step up. We got a band together.

636
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: But then.

637
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 6: The that you lost twenty points and eleven rebounds.

638
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: And you have UC playing well in their front court.

639
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and they are small. Now that does That's

640
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 6: one thing that worries me about this game is they

641
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 6: are going to try to spread U S out, move

642
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 6: the ball, and.

643
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 4: Shoot over the top of them.

644
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 6: I think it's actually kind of good that they shot

645
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 6: the way they did against k State because you're not

646
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 6: gonna see back to back games that often.

647
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: Now they are.

648
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 6: They're forty.

649
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: U S's defense is going to be more formidable than

650
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: Kansas for sure.

651
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 6: And I mean, if you can, if you can limit

652
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: Christian Anderson or you go the other way and you say,

653
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 6: we're Anderson if he gets thirty, that's cool, But why

654
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 6: and at well, like we're gonna we're gonna put a

655
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 6: clamp on those guys so that he can have thirty,

656
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 6: but they're only going to have fifty eight.

657
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 4: That that's going to be the key here.

658
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 6: It's it's fascinating to be fun that talking about this

659
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 6: team being alive. Yep, considering the way that this is

660
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 6: all evolved. Tell me what breaks first tonight? Is it

661
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 6: the first three game losing streak for Houston since twenty seventeen.

662
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 6: For the first time ever, Bill self loses a big Monday,

663
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 6: and I believe first time in quite some time they

664
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 6: would lose back to back games at Allen Field House.

665
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 6: I can't I can't imagine Houston losing three in a

666
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 6: row hard.

667
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 2: I can't.

668
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 6: The thing that's different to me that we've seen in

669
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 6: these last two games is that their guards haven't made

670
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 6: shots late. That is what has elevated Houston over this

671
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 6: you know, six seven year run, as it felt like

672
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 6: they always had guards late in games final two to

673
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 6: three minutes.

674
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: That just hit backbreaking.

675
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not the Hohome losses. They lost to

676
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: two of the top five teams in the country right

677
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: in back to back games. So I mean there are

678
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: three and.

679
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 6: Now you get to go to fog out right af

680
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 6: a loss on Big Monday. This league is incredible crazy,

681
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 6: it's it's and kudos to whoever did the scheduling because

682
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 6: we're getting two a week. We're getting Monday caliber games

683
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 6: and Saturday Final four caliber games. For it feels like

684
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 6: a month now that every Monday night at nine o'clock,

685
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 6: you know there's going to be an elite basketball game on.

686
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 6: It's been and they got to get rid of ACC

687
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 6: on Big Monday, like ACC at seven that's out. Yeah, Well,

688
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 6: can we go too Big Tame Monday on Monday? Yeah,

689
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 6: I'm down with that.

690
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm in uh Miami wins, they move up to twenty

691
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: one in the ap They actually dropped two spots in

692
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: the coaches poll. Xavier with another tough loss red Spring

693
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: training Action. It's combine week. Olympic gold medal. What an

694
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: unbelievable event with men hockey.

695
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: We got the women's figure skating gold and we got

696
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 6: the both hockey goals.

697
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that should count for more than.

698
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 6: Like that's it, right, Like that's all we're in the

699
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 6: Olympics for. We won the Olympics. We won the Olympics. Yes,

700
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 6: like that's I'm not concerned with really anything else activities. Yeah,

701
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 6: but that's that's for the Nordic countries. Correct cross country skiing.

702
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 6: Could you imagine skiing ten thousand kilometers while also just

703
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 6: stopping every now and again to shoot and shooting? No, no, no,

704
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 6: that's the dumbest crap I've ever heard. Who does that?

705
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 6: But yeah, like that's we won the Olympics. We we

706
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: won the things that mattered. We didn't win curling, right,

707
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 6: we didn't win curling. No, but we showed better. But

708
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 6: that would be just another thing in that group. Now

709
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 6: curling is like that it winter. But you know, we

710
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 6: didn't cheat.

711
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 2: We didn't. They didn't push it and push it. What

712
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 2: else you got coming up today? On your own big Monday,

713
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: my own big Monday. We're gonna do it.

714
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 6: Got some Bengals stuff that we're going to get to it.

715
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 6: Is this shaping up? I keep seeing the mock drafts.

716
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 6: Is this a spot to trade down today's mock draft?

717
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 6: I thought, so we do a mock draft Monday. Today

718
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 6: was kind of the first day that i've I mean,

719
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 6: there's willing to listen to it. There's three or four

720
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: guys I think that if they fall to you, okay, cool.

721
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 6: But it's starting to look like those three or four

722
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 6: guys that make the most sense are gonna probably go

723
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 6: before the Bengals. If you really need as much help

724
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 6: as we feel that they need on defense, you could

725
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 6: even drop three spots, two or three spots where you're

726
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 6: not making a crazy move, but you still can add

727
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 6: some picks, can add some value.

728
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 2: If you can add picks that way, and maybe you

729
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: find a suitor for Trey Hendrickson for a fourth round pick.

730
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: Now you're crying more assets.

731
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just think, like I do think, I don't

732
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 6: think that it should be like unequivocally they should trade

733
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: the pick. But if the board falls the way that

734
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 6: if starting to feel like it might fall, and.

735
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: If they take care of business between now in the

736
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: draft and that. That's the other thing we don't know

737
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: is what free agency looks like. But uh, and then

738
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: the AFC North, like what I keep reading up on it, Boy,

739
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: everybody's high on jesse mentor. I don't think anybody really

740
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: has a great feel for Pittsburgh, doesn't have a great

741
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: field for Cleveland.

742
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 6: Like this is the iron is hot. The iron is

743
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 6: going to be hot this year for the Bengals. They

744
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 6: have to take advantage of it.

745
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: Reds, will you spend time this afternoon on the Bearcats?

746
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, Kean's going to join me.

747
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 2: Kegan Austin, correct me if I'm wrong. Keigan didn't seem

748
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: to think there was a path to victory on Saturday,

749
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 2: and we talked to him last week.

750
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 6: I didn't either. You didn't either. Oh, I was all in,

751
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 6: that's Tony and you actually believed it.

752
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: In Tony's defense, he actually does believe the crazy stuff

753
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: he says when it comes to Bearcats basketball.

754
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 6: M I think he lies to himself. I think he

755
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 6: lies to himself.

756
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: Austin, all right, Chad Brendle is next in for Moegar.

757
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: It's the Chad Brendall Show on a victory Monday for

758
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bearcats. And let's call it what it is,

759
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: the United States of America. Less said, Chad comes up there.

760
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: Let's say I have a great restaud that it comes

761
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 2: on here. Fifteen thirty said about a sports station,
