1 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: My next guest covers the Bengals and the local sports 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 2: scene for Local twelve dot com. His Skinny podcast with 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: Roock Brewing a must watch as well Stocks and Bengals 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 2: with the man they call Skinny, Richard Skinner. How are you. 6 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm good, last, Thanks for having me. 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: Thanks for making time tonight. Let's start with the news 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: of the day surrounding Joe Flacco. What do you make 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 2: of his if we're projecting ahead now from Wednesday forward, 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: what do you make of his status for Sunday? 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think. I mean fifty fifty is what Zach 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: Taylor called, and that's probably being generous. I mean, you know, 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: when he went down on that sack on the next 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: to last series, I had my head down for a 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: second and somebody said, oh, Jake's throwing, and I looked up, okay, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: and then you see Joe kind of being looked at 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: by the medical staff. Then he tries to throw. He's 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: wincing in pain. They give him a couple of a 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: couple of I don't know maybe til at all, but 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: I know he took something on the sideline that went 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: into the locker room, and you can imagine probably got 22 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: a shot of something in the locker room and did 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: finish the game, and he was asked after the game 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: how he felt and said, I feel fine. Well, that's 25 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: all well and good because you just got shot up 26 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: with pain medication probably so you did. And then the 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: reality comes in that, yeah, he sprained his ac joint 28 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: and that's Those things can be dicey. I mean, they 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: can be really long term, they can be medium term. 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: They can sometimes be short term. But if he wasn't 31 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: good enough to go today and he doesn't go tomorrow, 32 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: I know, Zach said, you know, if he feels good 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday, even without reps, he could probably play him. 34 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: I just I think that's a really big ask. I mean, 35 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: I'll give him credit. I know Zach did too. I mean, 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: kudos to him for wanting to play, right. I mean, yeah, 37 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: this guy's forty plus years old. He just hurt his 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: throwing shoulder. You got a bye week coming up, easy 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: to go, Hey, man, I'm good. Get Jake ready for 40 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: this week and I'll come back hopefully and you know, 41 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: after the bye week. But I just think it's a 42 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: big ask if he plays this weekend. 43 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: After the game on Sunday, Zach made a public declaration 44 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: of a need for somebody to step up on defense. 45 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: What'd you make of that? 46 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you lost the leadership. But Logan Wilson, 47 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean he's still playing snaps, but he's not playing 48 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: start he started. Actually he's not playing you know, the 49 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: majority of the snaps. I think it's a plea for 50 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: somebody to make a play. I believe that. I mean, like, uh, 51 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, somebody needs to make a tackle. Somebody needs 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: to disengage and go make a fact. Somebody needs to 53 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, come up with interception of sometimes. But I 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: think he's looking for leadership with Logan off the field 55 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: and Logan's I don't want to call Logan not a leader. 56 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: That's not fair. He's just quiet, okay. And you know 57 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: leaders do different things. I mean some lead quietly by 58 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: example and some are our real leaders. The guy I 59 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: think they're pointing to is Barrett Carter. I mean he 60 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: I know Zach really likes spirits leadership qualities. The problem 61 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: there is, you know, you've also got to lead by 62 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: example too. And I'm not gonna knock bear a Carter 63 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: for everything because he had a really good first couple 64 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: of series, like alling those great, and he's played okay, 65 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: but he also had a chance on a tackle on 66 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Isaiah Davis, the running back. I mean he diagnoses the play. 67 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: He gets right in the gap. It's one on one 68 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: in the gap, and the thing you have to do 69 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: there as a professional linebacker is put that guy on 70 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: the ground. Would have been a yard gain it most probably, 71 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: and he slips through and goes for fifty yards. It's 72 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: hard to lead when you're not making the plays and 73 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: you're a rookie on top of it. But I do 74 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: think that's you're looking for the leader that they're trying 75 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: to point to. I think he'd be the guy. Maybe 76 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Battle a little bit, but again, his performance doesn't 77 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: exactly scream Hey, I'm really good, so I'm gonna lead 78 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: you guys. So I think I think. I think it's 79 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: a mess at the moment. I really do. I mean, 80 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: they had all three levels of the defense. Skinny. 81 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: Is there an in season fix for this defense? 82 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I just don't think it's one guy. 83 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: I think, honestly, Atlantis is multiple seasons. It's gonna take 84 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: to fix, you know. I think part of what you're 85 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: seeing with the rookie linebackers is okay, these are our 86 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: guys for the next few years, and let's just let 87 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: them go. They're gonna make mistakes. I mean, you saw 88 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: the one in Green Bay where they both won to 89 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: the outside gap on a on a Josh Jacob's fourteen 90 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: yard touchdown line. He goes right up the middle of 91 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: the end zone. Both of them went to the wrong place. 92 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Both of them went the wrong way. I don't want 93 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: to say you have to live with it, but you 94 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: kind of do. While they kind of get some of 95 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: that out of their system. And you know, at the 96 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: cornerback spot, you've you've been up and down with the 97 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: camp Tiller brit situation. At the safety spot, neither safeties 98 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: played well. And guess what if you're looking, we'll put 99 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: somebody else in there. They don't really have a backup safety. 100 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: They got two special teams guys backing up at safety 101 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: and Tyson Anderson PJ. Jewels and up front. I mean Lance, 102 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: you see the audience is seen in the last the 103 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: last two weeks. They don't disengage from a soul. I 104 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: mean it's it's not even like getting pressure. It's like velcro. 105 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: When offensive lineman get them. It is staggering. Then in 106 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the last two weeks they have three quarterback hits total. 107 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: One of those was on that Aaron Rodgers remember when 108 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: he scrambled for eight plus seconds and threw a touchdown pass. 109 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: Dimitrius not actually hit him right after he threw the ball. 110 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: That's one quarterback hit. Another one came this past week 111 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: when Cam Taylor britt blitzed and and hit and hit 112 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: Justin Fields. Those are two of the three quarterback hits 113 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: in the last two games. Not sacks, just hits. And 114 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: that's a big problem at the moment because while you 115 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: can put this second go, I how of Justin Fields 116 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: carve him up? Well, he carve him up because he 117 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: stood back there for eons to throw the football. There 118 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: was one wor seacon number who the receiver was, because 119 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: they were all, you know, backup quality guys. I saw 120 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: a guy on a takeoff route and I kind of 121 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: looked away for a second. All of a sudden, I 122 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: see Justin throw it that way. The guy came back 123 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: ten yards of the football because he had a billion 124 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: years to throw. They've got to find a way to 125 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: generate pass rushing, and I think Al Golden hinted this 126 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: hinted at that with us on Monday a little bit 127 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: without letting the cattle bag. He's on the record when 128 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: he said it like, I've got to create more. I 129 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: gotta create more pressures, and I think the only way 130 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: to do that is to start blitzing more and just 131 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: throw caution the way. But we ain't getting stops anyway. 132 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I can create a negative play, maybe I can 133 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: create a turnover too, and that's the only way we're 134 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna get stops. Because if this team just lines up 135 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: and says we're gonna try to stop you in base 136 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: defense and maybe occasionally blitz, it's not gonna work. It's 137 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: just not good enough. 138 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 2: The run game is clicking. Joe Flacco has been kept 139 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: relatively clean other than the hit he got smoked on Sunday. 140 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: Why has that happened? 141 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: Great question, and that was actually we talked Damn Pitcher 142 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: today and that was asked the Dan. He just I 143 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: just think the offensive lines played well the last couple 144 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: of weeks. You know, I thought Orlando Brown was sliding 145 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: backwards significantly for the first few weeks. He's played well. 146 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Ted Carris has actually elevated his level of play. It 147 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: looks like Jalen Rivers, I think settling in nicely at 148 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: right guard. Marius Mims has kept his side quiet and 149 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: and you know, Dylan Fairchout came back in for Dalton 150 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: Reisner and Dalton started the previous game when the offensive 151 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: line played well against Pittsburgh. I just think I think 152 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: they've somehow settled in. Uh you know, I know people 153 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: continue to look at the offensive line with a John 154 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: Desie and go, oh, they they haven't stunk. They've won 155 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: the ball great. Joe's been sacked three times and hit 156 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: minimal times in the last two games at approximately you know, 157 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: eighty some odd drop backs, and uh, you know, they 158 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: still have to They still have to protect for a 159 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: lot of times in the game because they dropped back 160 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to pass so much. So Yeah, I don't honestly, there's 161 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: no real answer than they're just playing better. 162 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: Jamar obviously has been incredible and heavily targeted. Did the 163 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: two t targets on Sunday raise an eyebrow? 164 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: Sure? Did you know? I know the Jets were, you know, 165 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: trying to take both of them away. But you know, 166 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: if I'm taking one away, no offense to T Higgins, 167 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna focus my taking away on Jamar Chase and 168 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: not Tea. And so Jamar got plenty of targets and 169 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: had plenty of catches. He had two targets. Andre Yoshibash 170 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: had three. Look, I know, Andre was probably single covered 171 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: more often that last play at the end of the game, 172 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: they did double both Tea and Jamar. Jamar talked about 173 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: that and Andre was the place to go with it. 174 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: But in what world did you sign t Higgins in 175 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: this contract and he only gets two targets? That just 176 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: seems to be crazy to me, Like, and it feels 177 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: like it's kind of been that way almost all year, 178 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: where he he seems kind of invisible at times. And listen, 179 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: he is a clear number two to Jamar Chase. Let's 180 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: not forget that. But you didn't pay him like a 181 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: clear number two. You paid him like a one a. 182 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna pay him like a one a, 183 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: then you better find a way. I mean, honestly, you 184 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: better throw four jump balls to him again just to 185 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: get him extra targets. In my opinion, If not, why 186 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: did you resign him? 187 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: Do you see Yoshi's snaps declining? And if so, who 188 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: assumes those snaps? 189 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question because we you know, we 190 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,679 Speaker 1: asked both Pitch and I think Zach either Monday or today, 191 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: and we ask Pitch today of you know, do you 192 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: still have confidence Andre? And they both expressed their confidence. 193 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect them to say anything otherwise publicly, but 194 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: it's hard not to. I mean that last play is 195 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: an example of kind of how his years gone. He 196 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: doesn't get much separation. It was a contested catch. I 197 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: think we can agree with that. It was not a 198 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't wide open. It wasn't wide open 199 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: because he didn't get separation, and then it was a 200 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: contested catch that he couldn't quite haul in. He's had 201 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: some issues with some drops. I mean, it's hard not 202 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: to like the kid, but at some point life has 203 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. I can't imagine you don't 204 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: give Mitchell Tin's a little bit more on. I think 205 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: it'd be silly not to, just because you know, Andre's 206 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: not producing, and you know, I think there's a there's 207 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: a role where they'd like to get Jermaine Burton on 208 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: the field, and Jermaine keeps probably stubbing his foot to 209 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: on the field, and so there's that issue and so 210 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: it's it's really it's either Mitchell Tinsley or him. I 211 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: mean maybe if Mike Kasicki was healthy, you could might 212 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: put Mike in that role, but Mike's not healthy. So yeah, 213 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: I think the next man up would be Mitchell Tinsley. 214 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: And I think you need to see more of that, 215 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 216 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: All Right, last question. They're three and five, there's nine 217 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: games left. I saw a new win total today posted 218 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: for them at seven and a half. If you were 219 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: Terry Rozier, would you bet over or under on that total? 220 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: Yeah? The other thing is I don't have control of 221 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: It's like Terry had totals, man, I mean, that's the 222 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: one thing he had gone for me. He could determine 223 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: what those totals were going to be. 224 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 2: That would be five, and that'd be five and four 225 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: the rest of the way to go over. 226 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they. I think they do because I 227 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: think they win this week. I think Flacco is at 228 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: least back for the Pittsburgh game and they have a 229 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: schot to go there. Believe it or not, they win 230 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: this week. There is a world in which pitt Sburg 231 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: is four and five and the Bengals are four and five, 232 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: playing at Pitts first, first place, or at least to 233 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: keep the raven Heck, the Ravens might be four and 234 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: five at that point two, but you'd be playing head 235 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: to head to see which one of you goes to 236 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: five and five. That's the goofy part. I mean, nine 237 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: wins can win this division. The question is then you're 238 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: asking can they hit the seven and a half? Can 239 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: they get denying there's a world where they can. There's 240 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: also a war where they win two more games the 241 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: rest of the way because this defense is just so horrific. 242 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: All right, what are you working on? And how can 243 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: listeners read and watch all you have going on? 244 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: Yep, just go to Local twelve dot com slash sports. 245 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I got the Joe Flacco story up today and kind 246 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: of the confidence they again have in Jake Browning, and 247 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: then tomorrow Lance I did this today. I was gonna 248 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: post today if the Joe flacko who's had to come out. 249 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: I redrafted the Bengals first three picks this year just 250 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: because I wanted to just see who you could go with, 251 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: and it took me in a direction where it wasn't 252 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: completely off base. And the three picks make a whole 253 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: lot of sense, and it makes you wonder what are 254 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: they doing in the draft through one draft night? 255 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait. I will read it at Local 256 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: twelve dot com. You're a good man. I appreciate the time. 257 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 2: Thank you.
