Speaker 3: Let's dive right in our Thursday tradition now hour two

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: to get things underway. From A to Z Sports covering

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals is John Sheeran.

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: What's up, John? How are you?

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: I'm doing well, man.

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous that I'm bad luck because it

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 5: wasn't on last week, and of course the Bengals won

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 5: by a lot, but I'm happy to be.

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: Bet Not being on last week, you obviously had a

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: chance to sit down on the holiday and watch what unfolded.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: What were your biggest takeaways Being able to watch Joe

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: Burrow on Thanksgiving night?

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 5: My biggest takeaway It really began on that horrendous low

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 5: red zone sequence of events in which he was in

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: empty and I'm like, oh, even when Burrow is back

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 5: and the rest isn't fully shaken off yet he's still

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 5: required to be Superman out there, which is a little

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 5: bit annoying from a from a viewer standpoint. But once

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 5: his feet were you know, firmly under him and he

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: stopped really like forcing a lot of those throws in

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 5: the first half, he looked like himself, and that was

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 5: very reminiscent, I believe of like a couple of years

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: ago when he faced the Ravens again in Week two,

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 5: when he was dealing with a calf and his first

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 5: half was also a little bit rusty, and then he

32
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 5: just started to come alive again. And fortunately this time

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: the Bengals ended up winning because he got a lot

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 5: of help from the defense with five turnovers. But I mean,

35
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: this is pretty normal for him against the Ravens defense,

36
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 5: posts Mike McDonald when he left for the Seahawks job

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. He's always been able to

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 5: carve them up, and the offensive line gave him a

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: ton of time to just, you know, survey the field

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: and just make the throws that were always accustomed to

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 5: seeing him when he's at his best, and right now

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's December.

43
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: This is when Burrow plays his best.

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 5: And it was really promising to see that accuracy not

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: go away despite all the rust of taking two months

46
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: off with his.

47
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: Injury, the help that he was able to get around him,

48
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: he finds nine different receivers. The running game got going.

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: The offensive line. I feel like we haven't talked as

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: much about the offensive line. How much of an improvement

51
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: have you seen from that group.

52
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: It's been nine and day.

53
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: I think along the interior, you have Dylan Fairchild playing

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: I think above what you would expect a rookie third

55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: round pick to play. At the power of his game

56
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: in pass protection is so notable. Dalon Riser has been

57
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 5: doing this for a long time, and that was the

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 5: expectation when when he signed. Yeah, it makes sense why

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 5: he wasn't necessarily at his best when he was first

60
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: year and he only had like a couple weeks of

61
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: actual practice experience for the entire offseason. But now that

62
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 5: you know he's in full game shape and everything like that,

63
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: he does look like the better option compared to Jalen

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 5: Rivers who was out there for the majority of the season.

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: And Rivers, again, this is the rookie.

66
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: You don't expect that much of him, but this is

67
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 5: definitely their best interior trio that they've had in quite

68
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: some time, and the fact that Mariusmims continues to be

69
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 5: a solid player right tackle Lynda Brown Junior. He does

70
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: have his mishaps every now and then with speed on

71
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 5: the outside, but when he's playing well, the entire unit

72
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: looks like the best offensive line that Burrow has ever had,

73
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: really going back to I would say even a college days.

74
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: I think even at LSU, like his offensive line was

75
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: never as good as people tauted to that. So he

76
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 5: now has the opportunity to do all the special things

77
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 5: that Burrow can do in terms of extending plays and

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: creating out of structure. But when he does have to

79
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: just stay in the pocket and survey the field, I

80
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: think this offense line gives him the chance.

81
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: To do that.

82
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: You mentioned the defense, John, I'm curious if you look

83
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: back to the Pittsburgh game, the Steelers scored two defensive touchdowns.

84
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: I thought the defense played better. I certainly think they

85
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: had a winning performance against the Patriots, and they did

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: well again against the Baltimore Ravens. Are we are we

87
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: ready to turn the page that the defense is improving

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: or do you still want to see more?

89
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: And if so, what do you want to see?

90
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: It is improving just because what have we talked about

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: for twelve weeks now? It's all relying on the pass

92
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 5: for us, it's all relying on guys who have been

93
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: dependent on this year when they didn't go out and

94
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: make other moves to through the Union, they relied on

95
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: the development of Miles Murphy, just to Oosai, Chris Jenkins specifically,

96
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: those three guys in the early parts of their careers,

97
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: they played the most pass rushing snaps against the Ravens

98
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 5: and they all had high level performances. Yes, they didn't

99
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: always finish at Lamar Jackson, but they disrupted plays and

100
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 5: they forced bad mistakes out of him unfortunately, Like sometimes.

101
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: They're gonna be wacky games like that, right.

102
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: The Bengals just experience went against the Vikings back in September,

103
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 5: which they turned the ball over five times. You know,

104
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: not always expecting to force five turnovers, but when you

105
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 5: can create disruption, muddy the pocket a little bit, force

106
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: Aaron Paron decisions, forced bumbles, whatever the case may be. Jenkins, Osai,

107
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: and Murphy all did that, and Murphy's kind of been

108
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: on this track for the last handful of weeks I

109
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 5: think his ability to push the pocket as a power

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 5: rusher and to disengage at the right time that has

111
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: definitely improved. Osai is probably their best overall pass rusher

112
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 5: with Autree Hendrickson out there, but the jump from Chris

113
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: Jenkins specifically in this game was maybe the most promising

114
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: because they haven't really had that boost from an interior

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: rusher in quite some time, and I'm still not sure

116
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: Jenkins is quite that player just yet. I think he

117
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: had a really good week, but you do need to

118
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: see more of that. But with again, have multiple pass

119
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: rushers who can contribute with like a fifteen to twenty

120
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: percent when as a pass rusher, that just does so

121
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 5: much for the rest of your defense and it makes

122
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: everything else go and sync. So this is what they've

123
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 5: been missing for for the first eight nine weeks of

124
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: the season and they're finally getting some of that now.

125
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a value with Trey Hendrickson and

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: Shamar Stewart not playing that Miles Murphy and Josephosai have

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: taken this jump more practice reps. We know how important

128
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: those are that they're not rotating through in the course

129
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: of a game. Do you find a correlation between the

130
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: other two defensive ends not playing and the production we're

131
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: seeing for Miles Murphy and Josephosai.

132
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: It's certainly possible. You know, like Murphy, this is this

133
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: is his third year and he's never really been thrust

134
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 5: it into this important of a role before. Like we

135
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: kind of wanted it to happen last year when Sam however,

136
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 5: was experiencing his decline and he got some more opportunities

137
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: along with Joseph a saie. So I think obviously them

138
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: being in the spotlight, them getting all the all the

139
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 5: starter reps, that definitely helps, but you still have to

140
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 5: go out there and perform, right, and that just wasn't

141
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 5: happening in the early parts of the season, even with

142
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: Stewart was healthy, Right, I think Murphy and s I

143
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 5: were still you know, at at the very least equals along.

144
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: With him in the rotation.

145
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: So they're just running with the opportunity now, and sometimes

146
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: it just takes a little bit longer for some of

147
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: these guys to click.

148
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: And even if.

149
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 5: Murphy is not necessarily gonna be a ten sac of

150
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 5: year type of guy for a first round thick, I

151
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 5: think he's still showing the value that you would have

152
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: expected for who the player that he was coming.

153
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: Out of college.

154
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: Do we need to have a Trey Hendrickson conversation? Do

155
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: you do you find it just at all odd? We've

156
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: talked about on this show in Austin. I think has

157
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: made the point if if the injury was as serious

158
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: at the outset for Trey Hendrickson, would the Bengals have

159
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: just put him on IR at that point? Do you

160
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: find how this situation is being handled and how blunt

161
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor is each and every Monday that he's doubtful? Again,

162
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: do you find this situation odd?

163
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 5: It's definitely odd compared to how you know, these situations

164
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 5: normally go about, and when the wording is like that,

165
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 5: when the messaging is like that, and considering the history there,

166
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: it all raises, you know, very, at the very least

167
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: minor red flags. I think this could be a situation

168
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: in which he aggravated the injury. It made it a

169
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: little bit worse obviously than now. There's the pelvis classification

170
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 5: along with the hip. It's a core muscle injury, probably

171
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: gonna require surgery in the offseason, right, So there's all

172
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: this new information that's come out about it. And it's

173
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: possible that the Bengals didn't think it was as serious

174
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: as it is, and that's why he hasn't been on IR.

175
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 5: He's still on the active roster and they haven't cleared

176
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: that roster spot up for him. Obviously, with a guy

177
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 5: like Rander, if he's healthy, you want him out there

178
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: as soon as possible, and I think they've always kept

179
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: that door open just in case he's able to come back.

180
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 5: I think there's probably some frustration with it not healing

181
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: the way that they.

182
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: Expected it to, and it could just be they miscalculated

183
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: in that regard.

184
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 5: Again, we don't know nearly enough details to make any

185
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 5: conclusions about this. It's all unfortunately speculation, and considering who

186
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: the subject is, he's been in the spotlight all year

187
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: and not for the best reasons. So I think it's

188
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: rather unfortunate that it's got to this point. But I

189
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 5: don't know if we can go as far as to

190
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: say that there's anything the Fairies here. It's just a

191
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: lot of speculation and unfortunately a lot of unknowns because

192
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: unfortunately for them that they just didn't expect it to

193
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: get worse and unfortunately just not at the point where

194
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: he can play John.

195
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills have the best rushing offense in the NFL.

196
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: Why are they so good? And how do you expect

197
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: them to attack the Bengals with that rushing game on Sunday?

198
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was so dominant against the Steelers

199
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 5: that TJ. Watt joke that they ran the same play

200
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 5: of thirty times, and it kind of wasn't really joking, right,

201
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: It was just inside zone after inside zone after inside zone.

202
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: That offensive line has always been comprised of pretty good

203
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: athletes who can display guys, and when they're all in sync,

204
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 5: even without their two starting tackles like that, they're able to,

205
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: you know, clear the edges for James Cook to bounce outside.

206
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: And I think part of that is also not just

207
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: with the offensive line. They're getting a lot of help

208
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 5: from their tight ends. To rookie Jackson Hawes has been phenomenal,

209
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: not not for beyond just receiving reasons right, Like he's

210
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 5: getting his nose dirty and he's clearing out the edge,

211
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 5: and James Cook has phenomenal vision for these cutback lanes

212
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: and he's an explosive runner as well. So when you

213
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: combine an offensive line that's always in sync, It's always

214
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: that it can always really out athlete the opposing defensive

215
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 5: line clear space for a running back that just knows

216
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: where to go with the ball.

217
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: It has really good vision and explosion to his game.

218
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: That's how you get not only a successful run game,

219
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 5: but an explosive run game that can really open a

220
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: game for you.

221
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: They also use their tight ends very well. Have you

222
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: seen any differences in the way the Bengals have kind

223
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: of been defending tight ends because for years they haven't

224
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: been able to cover them. They did give up a

225
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: big one to Isaiah likely that they had a good

226
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: hustle play on on Thursday night. How do you expect

227
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: the Bengals to try to prevent the Bill's tight ends

228
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: from beating them?

229
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's something that I expect is not

230
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: necessarily going to be of strength of the Bengals in

231
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 5: this week. I was expecting Mark Gamers to have a

232
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: little bit better at the game last week, and of

233
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 5: course he got an extension this week. Dalon kin Kat

234
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: is their second leading receiver, but he's not just he's

235
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: just a tight end name only right, He's basically in

236
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: the slide like Mike Esecki out there and the middle

237
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: of the field has been mostly compromised for this Bengals defense,

238
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 5: and it's not something I expect Bark Carter, Demitrius Night

239
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 5: to be, you know, on top of necessarily this week.

240
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: It's gonna have to be continue to be a work

241
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: in progress.

242
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: But you know, Alan Josh Allen is always on the

243
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 5: same page with those guys, and they find the vacancies

244
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 5: in the soft spots in the zones, and that's gonna

245
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 5: be something again, where like you have to be able

246
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 5: to disrupt these guys at the line of scrimmage. He

247
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: had to force them off of their timing. He had

248
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 5: to force Allan into making some bad decisions. But you know,

249
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 5: Kincage's been reliable for them. I think he's on the

250
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 5: injury report, but he should be able to play this

251
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: week and that'll be a very important figure for the

252
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 5: Bengals to stop.

253
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting John the split between Chase

254
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: Brown and samaj p Ryan in Baltimore. Do you think

255
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: that's just short week give Chase Brown a little bit

256
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: of rest in the run game, or do you think

257
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: we'll see that continue over the course of the end

258
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: of the season.

259
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: I think there's gonna be always opportunities for p Ryan

260
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: to give him a little bit of a break, but

261
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 5: also for his valume pass protection as well, and we

262
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: saw that definitely on the touchdown andre yosavajh And doesn't

263
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 5: pick up that block on the opposite side of Burrow,

264
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: that play does not happen, right, And I think as

265
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 5: long as Piterran is healthy, he's the trusted guy to

266
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 5: be on the.

267
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: Field in those situations. And I think with the way

268
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 4: the game.

269
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: Script played out, or at least for how much Burrow

270
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 5: checked into those pass plays and how much they rely

271
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 5: on his arm to outscore Baltimore, that's why p Ryan

272
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: was on the field for as much as he was.

273
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 5: But there's always going to be opportunities for him to

274
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 5: run the ball as well and to not overload Chase Brown.

275
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 5: Despite how productive Chase Brown has been, He's going to

276
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: get his opportunities. But Piterran definitely still has value there

277
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: and they definitely.

278
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: Recognize that if t Higgins is able to continue on

279
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: his progression and getting back to this team. How do

280
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: you view, you know, Joe Burrow's ability to spread the

281
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 3: ball around. It's always something I've been in all of

282
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. He found nine different targets. How much more

283
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: difficult does life become for the Buffalo Bills if you

284
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: can get T. Higgins healthy and playing on Sunday.

285
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the Bills their cornerbacks are an area

286
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: in which the Bengals have a definite ave enage of

287
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 5: this one. Like their safety has always been good with

288
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: player and a second year player Cole Bishop I believe

289
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: is his name back there. So their safeties are good

290
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: and they can cost some confusion in the pre stat phase,

291
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 5: but you will.

292
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: Always take Jamar Chase and T.

293
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 5: Higgins over you know, Tradavius White, Brent Frip, I'm blanking

294
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 5: on his first name, but you know, like the Bengals

295
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: did do have the advantage there, and I think in

296
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 5: games like this, like you never really know if Chase

297
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 5: or Higgins is gonna go off, if that is, if

298
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 5: Higgins plays. I remember back in twenty twenty three it

299
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 5: was Tea's big game which he had one hundred and

300
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 5: ten receiving yards against the Bills. He got the spotlight,

301
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 5: and then Chase obviously you know, dominating games after that

302
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 5: as well. So like it could just be a picker

303
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 5: poison such situation. That's the beauty of the Bengals offense,

304
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: and that's how they're at their peak.

305
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: When all three guys are out there playing.

306
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 5: At their best, Burrow knows where to go with the ball,

307
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 5: and when he sees one on one opportunity with either

308
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 5: of them, it's not gonna be about all this guy's

309
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: getting paid.

310
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: More money than this guy.

311
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 5: No, if the opportunity is there and the matchup is right,

312
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: he's going to whichever guy is the best, and that's

313
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 5: how you get the ball being spread around as much

314
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 5: as the as it does with Burrow at the.

315
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: Quarterback, John, how do you view the season up to

316
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: this point? I feel like it's the most optimistic I've

317
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: seen a team for being four and eight on the year,

318
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: and rightfully so with Joe Burrow coming back. But there

319
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: are a lot of issues that we have discussed with

320
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: this team throughout the course of the season, and yes,

321
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: a one game sample size against Baltimore helps to kind

322
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 3: of move past what those issues were. But how important

323
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: now does the final stretch become? Everyone wants to say,

324
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: Okay went out and get into the playoffs. What is

325
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: your realistic vision for how this season plays out?

326
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 5: I think this is still at the end of the day,

327
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 5: it's still a very flawed team that has major issues

328
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 5: to work out in the offseason. But I think as

329
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 5: the season has unfolded, you've seen just everywhere in the

330
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 5: league there are cracks with some of the best teams,

331
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: and there's going to be flawed teams in the playoffs.

332
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: And I think that's.

333
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 5: Somewhat of a source of optimism right now, in which

334
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 5: the Bengals definitely have taken their bumps and bruises along

335
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: the way. The fact that they've been in the situation

336
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: before and were able to do what they could to

337
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 5: win out and give themselves a chance in the playoffs,

338
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: I think it does give them a little bit of

339
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 5: confidence as well, which is why again, like you don't

340
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: want to be in the situation, but the Bengals, unfortunately

341
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 5: do find themselves in this situation more than most of

342
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: the teams, and that's why like, oh, we've been here before,

343
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 5: we can control we control the old you know.

344
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: The cliches and whatnot.

345
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 5: But no, I think right now you have confidence in

346
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 5: this offense producing with Burrough playing the way that he does,

347
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: and if the defense can continue continue to be opportunistic

348
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: with the pass.

349
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: Rust that it is now found.

350
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: There isn't a game that you feel like they're going

351
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 5: to be completely outmatched and give you hope that you

352
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: can just win out and find a way to do

353
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 5: this and if you get some help along the way

354
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: from the Steelers and Ravens losing out. So confidence I

355
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: think is definitely higher than it was a week or

356
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 5: two ago. But this is still a flawed team that

357
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: just needs to be in the same company as other

358
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 5: flawed teams when January comes around.

359
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Before I let you go, John, we didn't get to

360
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: talked last week. So you speak of confidence in winding

361
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: down the season. Not a great end of the season

362
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: for our U see football Bearcats who lose four in

363
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: a row after getting to seven and one. How do

364
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: you how do you view as a as a fan

365
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: of the Bearcats? How do you view this year's football season?

366
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: You know, Penn State still looking for a head coach

367
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 5: and one Cincinnati I think that would be you know,

368
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding. Yeah, it sucks not being both a

369
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: second half of the season team and not being a

370
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 5: second half of the game team. That's unfortunately the the

371
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: UC Bearcuts football program. At the moment, I'm pretty much

372
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: over the season. I'm still I'm just on myll eyes

373
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 5: on tomorrow on the harvoid.

374
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: Are you excited about it? Or are you? Are you?

375
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Are you cautiously? Do you?

376
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: I give you this game?

377
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: Just give me this game.

378
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: I have no confidence in the season of other than this.

379
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: This is like my O High State Michigan moment, right.

380
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: I don't care about the rest of the season.

381
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 4: Just give me. Just give me a win oversaver and

382
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: I'll be content.

383
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,080

Speaker 3: as they look to continue this run.

387
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's December football. It's when the Bengals somehow play

388

Speaker 7: Christmas pains, putting up Christmas lights, writing out Christmas cards,

413
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 7: or Christmas shopping at the mall.

414
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: You know, I enjoy the throwback nature of Christmas shopping

415
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: at the mall. I don't do it a lot, but

416
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: every Christmas year, once or twice a year, I'll head

417
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: to the mall and do some vintage Christmas shopping where

418
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: I can actually see what I'm buying, not just order

419
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: everything online. I like that aspect of Christmas. I also

420
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: like the aspect of putting up Christmas lights. So I'm

421
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: not benching any of them except Christmas cards, because.

422
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: We really can you just like answer the question the

423
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: way it's asked. Start bench, cut, No, I start both.

424
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: You are a gutless individual. I start both. I'll I'll

425
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: cut Christmas cards, I'll start Christmas shopping. I love doing that.

426
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 2: I'll bench Christmas lights. I don't know the last time

427
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 2: I put up Christmas lights French. Well, I don't have

428
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: a home. Yeah, I mean I put up my tree.

429
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: I like doing that and writing out Christmas cards. I

430
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever done that much. Yeah, we don't

431
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: do that.

432
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, Jeff and your Richmond Happy Thursday. So, first

436
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 8: were to set the line on the Crosstown shootout tomorrow night,

437
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 8: what do you think a reasonable line would be for

438
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 8: the game? Take care?

439
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: I think Vegas wise like you see minus two and

440
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: a half, minus three and a half. I were setting

441
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: the line and behavior minus about eight.

442
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: And a half.

443
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 8: Hello, this is former President Ronald Regan, And well, I

444
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 8: know in all the years that I've known Nancy, we've

445
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 8: never had an argument.

446
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: Not true, ron Not come on now, not true. Gotta

447
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: goul Thank you caughtom lyon right there? Man.

448
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 9: Well, Travis says he's ever had an argument with Taylor. Well,

449
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 9: I guess I can buy that. At the moment he does,

450
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 9: she'd probably break up with him. Then he has to

451
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 9: deal for about one hundred breakup songs about him. My

452
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 9: wife and I we celebrated twenty years together yesterday.

453
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: Wow, And I could say, yeah, we've.

454
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 9: Had some arguments, we've had some disagreements, but fellas the center.

455
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 9: You fired out that she's always right. And if mama

456
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 9: ain't happy, nobody is.

457
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: I tell you, life gets a whole lot easier.

458
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: That's right, makes it easy.

459
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 4: What's up?

460
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 10: Guys?

472
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 6: fighting chance.

473
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: Based on how the NFC is, it might be an

474
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: elimination game tonight. I like the I like the Lions

475
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: at home.

476
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,320

Speaker 2: Yes, it is an elimination game for the team that loses.

485
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: I want Detroit to win. I almost always picked the

486
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: home team. Yeah, but I think they're in trouble.

487
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 10: Man.

488
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240

Speaker 2: gonna win that game.

490
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, like I said a thousand times, let's get Kenny

491
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 11: Anderson in the hall offense.

492
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the Bells game.

493
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 11: You just gotta stop James Cook and their receivers ain't

494
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 11: that good.

495
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 6: They can't stop the run.

496
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 11: I'd like to see the Bengals run the hell out

497
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 11: of the ball the Sunday stop James Cook, Let's get a.

498
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: W stop the run can't stop. Then we'll tell.

499
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: Guys big to hoone.

500
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 12: In Kentucky, they say, Cooper Flag ain't nothing but another

501
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 12: Brent Berry. And then what about this guy a football coach?

502
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 12: He prefers to himself as will Stein in the press conference,

503
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 12: calls himself in third person, says, who wouldn't want to

504
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 12: play for will.

505
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: Stein right now?

506
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 12: Well, dude, you took over at the Oregon's quarterback coach

507
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 12: and you had transferred quarterbacks who already established.

508
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Don't think you were the want to develop them.

509
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 12: Organ's been good since nineteen ninety four when Rich Brooks

510
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 12: took them into the rose Bow, when that Penn's eighteen

511
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 12: was phenomenal. They were by far the best team in

512
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 12: the country that year.

513
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: If I say so myself, it's interesting will Stein becomes

514
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: the coach, but he's not the most popular will Stein

515
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: that Kentucky's head.

516
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: That would be Willie Caley Stein. What's he doing these days?

517
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: That I don't know? I thought he'd be better in

518
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: the NBA. I did too with Big Willie. You know,

519
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: I don't think we've ever approached this topic before. But

520
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: there's another famous Tony Pike. Really yeah, who's that? I

521
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: don't know if I can uh. Oh, that makes me nervous.

522
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: I think he was like who, I don't know, who'll

523
00:22:51,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: describe it? Hold On, let me see hold on, this

524
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: is sorry for the double.

525
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 12: They say, he's got this quarterback from Coo already coming

526
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 12: with him, who was arguably the top freshman quarterback in

527
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 12: the country last year. But you know he went to

528
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 12: Oregon and to transferred out because he couldn't beat out

529
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 12: in Dante more. Will he take credit for developing him

530
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 12: even though he was a stud of cow already let

531
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 12: him like this coach already represented the Bluegras state. But

532
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 12: I bet you one thing. I bet this guy will Stein.

533
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 12: I bet he lets his players call him will or Stanie.

534
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 12: I bet he don't make him call him coach.

535
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: Will as stanih Tony Pike, who was a hotelier. What

536
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: I guess he was a hotel owner? Okay, he was

537
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: a legend in Ibiza.

538
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: Really yeah, well, I mean Mike Poser, I took a

539
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: pill and a Beza as one of my jams.

540
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: I took a pill and abez. He was Okay, this

541
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: isn't as bad as I saw him. He epitomized the

542
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: hedonism of the holiday clubbing island Ibiza. Okay, so I

543
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: guess he was a good guy, but he was a

544
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: fun time. He was described by the Guardian as a

545
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: ring master for thirty years of celebrity debauchery. Oh he

546
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: was like he'd always like. He was like he was

547
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: the Ibza version of who's that guy who had the mansion?

548
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: The playboy mansion? Hugh Hefner, Hugh Hefner. I just googled

549
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: Tony Pike Abiza. Yeah, and this quote popped up. I

550
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: used to have fantasies, but not anymore. I've done them all. Yeah, Okay,

551
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: I think he's like first team All Partier. Okay, Tony,

552
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: you've never heard of this guy before. You never googled

553
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,800

00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: Is that true?

557
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 13: It won't matter, go muskys.

558
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: I have been told by credible sources that Gisel James

559
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: will not play for the Bearcats.

560
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: This year.

561
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: So also after January first, he puts a great question, also,

562
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: I know nothing.

563
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 14: Uh huh, Yeah, I'm definitely listening and I'm definitely watching.

564
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 14: And I knew I was right repping the city out

565
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 14: here in sunny hot Zona.

566
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: What up, Tony?

567
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: What up?

568
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 14: Body man? I listen to the Bills radio station. They

569
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 14: YouTube and they podcast. The fan base sound nervous, worried, shook.

570
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 14: Like I said, they're scared. They shaking in their billy boots.

571
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 14: We coming JB nine three touchdowns, Bengals thirty five to twenty.

572
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 14: We getting them boys up there in Buffalo. I'm hoping

573
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 14: to see a SENTI crowd up there, Yo, Wes get

574
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 14: the win by ten man.

575
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 2: Pressures on, Let's get it daring right, the pressures on.

576
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,239
Speaker 14: My keys to the shootout back again for a double up.

577
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 14: First things first, con Cincinnati hit free throws. I mean,

578
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 14: that's the main problem right there. They're leaving points on

579
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 14: the court. Basically, gotta hit these free throws. Xavier is young, inexperience.

580
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: Put some pressure on these boys.

581
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 14: You gotta create turnovers against Xavier, and Xavier's gonna shoot

582
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 14: a lot of threes.

583
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: Whoever hit the most threes.

584
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 14: Between these teams will definitely win because you see has

585
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 14: a turnover problem. Those are my keys and wes do

586
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 14: not get out, Coach Bobatino.

587
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm definitely watching that.

588
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 15: On me.

589
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 13: The too many toe questions, Tony and Austin. I've got

590
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 13: a question for you guys about Joe Burrow. I heard

591
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 13: you say, and he's the best in December, but would

592
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 13: you rather take him in December or Toyota than Jordan Love?

593
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: You know that's a great point. Actually, I saved a

594
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: post about this. Did you see this? These stats Jordan

595
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: Love in his career during Toyota than No. Ninety one

596
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: point nine passing grade. That's the best, four thousand passing yards,

597
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: thirty three touchdowns, one interception, Wow, in a league leading

598

667
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 10: Let's go to you guys. Think I also have an

668
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 10: eighth grader. I think that's going to be just as good.

669
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 10: So if you guys are in arrested, let me know.

670
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: Yep, I would have a backup plan if I were you.

671
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: We'll pencil it in. One of us has already been

672
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: fired once.

673
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: All right, We're done, all right, By the way, I know,

674
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: there's not many things that will bring Xavier and Cincinnati

675
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: fans together. Did you see the photo going around social

676
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: media of Sean Miller last night?

677
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: No, Texas, He's dead to me.

678
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: Texas lost last night. They've lost to Arizona State. This year,

679
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: they have two losses. Another one they lost to Duke.

680
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: But last night they hosted Virginia and they lost the

681
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: game eighty eight to sixty nine. They were down by

682
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: nineteen and a half. And there is this like picture

683
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: of Sean Miller with like five minutes to go in

684
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: the game, with just this blank stare, and it's circulating

685
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: on social media. I can't imagine something on this week

686
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: that would bring UC and Xavier fans together, but I

687
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: think it's that photo of Sean Miller struggling.

688
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: What about Sean Miller to replace West Miller? Nope, thoughts, nope, no, nope, nope.

689
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: I think you would like that. No, I'm out. I

690
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: think you would. I'm out on that one for sure.

723
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,560

724
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: fourth round pick the Cincinnati Bengals. Okay, Lamar Jackson. You

725
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: know there's a big game on Sunday between the Pittsburgh

726
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens, one that impacts Cincinnati's chances

727
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. Baltimore's currently six point favorites for

728
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: that game, which is being played at M and T

729
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Well, yesterday, Lamar Jackson was listed

730
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: as a limited participant in practice. This was big news

731
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: because well, he never practices on Wednesdays, dealing with all

732
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: his myriad of injuries. Well today not practicing at all.

733
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: He went from limited yesterday to not practicing at all.

734
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: For the Baltimore Ravens, quarterback Lamar Jackson, he's listed with

735
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: an ankle, so he does not get a full week

736
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: of practice like maybe we thought he would get yesterday. Also,

737
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: Ravens nose tackle Travis Jones is not practicing, who obviously

738
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: is a big part of their ability to stop the

739
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: run game. So, as we said earlier, the Bengals need

740
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: the Steelers and Ravens to split. That's the easiest path forward.

741
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens in that game on Sunday.

742
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: Other quick notes, Mark Andrews has secured a three year

743
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: extension with the Baltimore Ravens.

744
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

745
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised by that. Yeah, I was too.

746
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 3: Also Ted Karris, the Bengals recipient nominated for the Walter

747
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 3: pay NFL Man of the Year Award.

748
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: Here is Buffalo Bill's quarterback Josh Allen talking about what

749
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: it means to play against Joe Burrow.

750
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 18: I mean, yeah, anytime you have a chance to play

751
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 18: against one of the premier quarterbacks in this league. You know,

752
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 18: you have to be ready for it. You have to

753
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 18: put your your best stuff out. They have a really

754
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 18: good game week of practice and then go out there

755
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 18: and execute on Sunday.

756
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: Okay, pretty simple stuff there. Yeah, nothing life changing from

757
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. He was also talked He was also asked

758
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: and talked about playing meaningful football late in the season.

759
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 18: It's the it's the best time to play play football.

760
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 18: It's when when the stakes are high and you got

761
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 18: to go out there and you got to perform your

762
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 18: your job.

763
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: You know.

764
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 18: I feel like that's that's a big part of this

765
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 18: team of we want that pressure. We want to go

766
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 18: out there, we want to perform for each other.

767
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: And there you go.

768
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: That is Uh, it's a massive, massive late season game

769
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: happening on.

770
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 2: You might even call it a tilt, a tilt.

771
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: You know.

772
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 3: It's interesting Austin because I think thought they might have

773
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: had another player to play on Sunday, and he declined.

774
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: Remember, earlier in.

775
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 3: The week, Darius Slay was let go by the Pittsburgh

776
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 3: Steelers and then Darius Slay was claimed by the Buffalo

777
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: Bills on waivers yesterday. Now, Darius Slay is not reporting

778
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: to Buffalo because he's quote unsure whether he wants to

779
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: continue playing football. His agent said, Darius Lay is honored

780
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: that a first class organization like the Bills claimed him,

781
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: but he is going to take some time away from

782
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: football and decide in the next few days if he

783
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: wants to keep playing.

784
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: Drew Rosenhaus told Adam Schefter today. Yeah, and the Eagles,

785
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: who he played for and won a Super Bowl with,

786
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: also put acclaim in on him. And so there's been

787
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: some speculation by the insiders across the NFL that the

788
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: plan was maybe for Slay to go back to Philadelphia,

789
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 2: and now he's been claimed, I'd rather maybe retire. We'll see,

790
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: Bengals played against him earlier this year and he's with

791
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and torched him a little bit, so it would

792
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: have been nice to see if he was on the

793
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: field for the Buffalo Bills. But overall, you want another

794
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 2: Bengals Bills fact for you? Please, a little fun fact here, please.

795
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: This is going to be the thirty fifth time the

796
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: Bengals and Bills have played each other. They are seventeen

797
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 2: and seventeen against one. Isn't that amazing?

798
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: Say something's got to give? Yeah, one team's going to

799
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: get the advantage. The last time the Bengals does a

800
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 3: tie eliminate the Bengals.

801
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: Still a lot of no that actually might help him.

802
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: The last time the Bengals went to Orchard Park during

803
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: the regular season, that was September of twenty nineteen. Bills

804
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: won twenty one seventeen in that game. I thought they

805
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: went there a couple of years before that, or was

806
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: that here? They went there in the postseason. In the

807
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 2: postseason they played, and then the year before I guess

808
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: they played in Cincinnati. Let's take a break. We'll put

809
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 2: a bow on our number two. Next checking Nickoson starts

824
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: Yes?

825
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 3: No, it's the end of our number two on a Thursday.

826
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: Keegan Nickoson will join us to kick things off in

827
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: our number three. Thanks so much for joining us, thanks

828
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: to Cincy shirts. Here on our number two. Austin, I'm

829
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: shocked by this. We go each and every week. But yes,

830
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: it's Thursday, which means the official start of Week fourteen

831
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: in the NFL. Yes, each week it feels more depressing

832
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 3: that we're nearing the end of the regular season. Week fourteen.

833
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 2: It's a good one, last regular season week for a

834
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: lot of fantasy. That's true.

835
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: It's a good one if you follow along with the

836
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: NFC playoff race. Cowboys Lions, both on the outside looking in.

837
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: They play tonight in Detroit. Lions are a three and

838
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: a half point favorite, but it does kick off in

839
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: a big way Week fourteen. Some other noteworthy games to

840
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: look at as you get into the weekend. The nine

841
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: and three Seattle Seahawks. Right now Austin, they are the

842
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: second betting favorite in the NFL to win the Super Bowl.

843
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm very, very, very very high on the Seahawks, and

844
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: they're getting healthier on defense, which is a scary thought.

845
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 3: Second in betting odds to win the Lombardy right behind

846
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: still even they come off a loss. The Los Angeles Rams,

847
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: so Rams are number one, Seahawks are number two, Packers

848
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 3: are number three, and then the Buffalo Bills are the

849
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: favorite in the AFC currently at plus nine one hundred.

850
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 3: That is, of course, who the Bengals will play. We'll

851
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: talk more Bengals Bills tomorrow. Titans Browns said yesterday the

852
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: twenty one day window is open for Deshaun Watson. Don't

853
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: think it's going to be out of the realm of

854
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 3: possibilities that Deshaun Watson plays for the Browns this year.

855
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: Who would you rather face in Week eighteen Watson playoff

856
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: spot on the line, Deshaun Watson, Dylan Gabriel, Schadoor Sanders

857
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: or Deshaun Wattson I think Deshaun Watson. I think so too.

858
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 3: Commander's Vikings perfect timing Dolphins Jets is an interesting one

859
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 3: because the Dolphins are playing so well. If you're thinking

860
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: about is that game in Miami going to be flexed

861
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: at any point? I wonder if the if the Bengals

862
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: win and the Dolphins win, if they keep that game

863
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 3: as primetime.

864
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll find out, I think on the twenty second

865
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: or not on the twenty second the next week, right, yeah,

866
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 2: next Monday maybe, Yeah, the eighth that I saw, I forget.

867
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: I saw Jay Morrison tweeting about this the other day.

868
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, December fifteenth is the deadline. Yeah.

869
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 3: Are the Bucks getting healthy at the right time? Mike

870
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: Evans is back his twenty one day windows open, Bucky

871
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: Irving played last week. They I think we've talked too.

872
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: Bucks are on the outside looking in. But their schedule

873
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 3: right now, they got the Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Dolphins, Panthers left.

874
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: Well, the thing right there is two games against the

875
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: Panthers and Carolina has played well. Yeah, so yeah, I

876
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 2: think it'll really ultimately come down to those two.

877
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: What about the Jags and the Colts in the one

878
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: o'clock window.

879
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not four. Yeah, I'm not sold on the Colts,

880
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: especially with dimes being not one hundred percent. I was

881
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: been sold on the Jags from the beginning, but I

882
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: wouldn't say I'm sold on them right now.

883
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: Either Steelers, Ravens, Broncos, Raiders, Bears, pat Texans might win

884
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: that to Bears. Packers might be fun too, man sure, Rams, Cardinals, Texans,

885
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 3: Chief Sunday Night and then Eagles Chargers. Is your Monday

886
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: night football tilt?

887
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 2: By the way, Bengals practicing inside pay Corse Stadium right now.

888
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: It's just shells and sweatpants for the Bengals. T Higgins,

889
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: TODs Brooks both at practice. Com No Trey Hendrickson anywhere

892
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,600
