Speaker 2: Hi, Hello, and welcome to the Tri State Chevy Dealers

14
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: Postgame Sports Talk show here on seven hundred WLW and

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty. My name is Austin Elmore. Happy to

16
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: be with you and let me be the first to

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: wish you a happy victory Friday. That's right. For the

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: first time in a month, the Bengals are back in

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: the win column, and they do so on a Thursday

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: night against their bitter rival and a Hall of Fame

21
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: quarterback in Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They picked

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: off Rogers twice and old Man Joe Flacco comes away

23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: victorious and what they were calling the Icy Hot Bowl.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: Some we're calling it the Unk Bowl, the Old Man Bowl,

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. A couple of forty

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: something year old quarterbacks were lighting it up at pay

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Corpse Stadium tonight, and boy, oh boy, was that a

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: fun football game. I'm sitting there, I'm at the edge

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: of my couch and I'm like leaning towards the TV screen,

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: and I have this pit in my stomach. And if

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: you're a Bengals fan, you know that pit that's in

32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: your stomach. You know that feeling when you're like, I

33
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: don't feel good about this. It's not gonna end. Well

34
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: I don't, and you just you can feel it coming

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: and you're just waiting for the next shoot a drop

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: and you're waiting for the next gut punch. Except it

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 2: didn't come. Joe Flacco kept coming, he kept driving down

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 2: the field, he kept leading the Bengals. He was not

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: afraid to throw the ball up. He was aggressive, He

40
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: got the ball out quickly, and he led this team

41
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: to a victory. Jamar Chase was outstanding yet again. He

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: set a Bengals record for receptions in a game with sixteen.

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: T Higgins had one of the smartest and best plays

44
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: you'll ever see from a wide receiver when he caught

45
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: a twenty eight yard pass and slid down inside the

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: ten yard line. Because he knows well as everybody else,

47
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: you can't trust the Bengals defense, and the Bengals brilliantly

48
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: nestled the clock down to about eleven seconds and Evan

49
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: McPherson kicked a game winning field goal to give the

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Bengals a thirty three to thirty one win. Cincinnati now

51
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: three and four on the season. They break that four

52
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: game losing skid. They are two and zero in the

53
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: AFC North and are right back in the conversation, Right

54
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: back in the conversation. Why well, because they play the

55
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Jets at home next week after the mini bye. The

56
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: Jets are winless. Then they play the Chicago Bears at

57
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: home after that before the bye, and then they have

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: a chance to go into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers again.

59
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: This is the time in the schedule where you start.

60
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: You gotta start getting hot, you gotta start heating up

61
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: a little bit now. Obviously Flacco was wonderful, and what

62
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: he's done over the course of ten days, sin say,

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: hard to believe, like legitimately hard to fathom. But also

64
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: we got a good report on Joe Burrow prior to

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: the game today that his rehab is going well, he's

66
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: on schedule, he intends to come back in mid December.

67
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: He was on the sidelines tonight in a walking boot,

68
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: had the hat on, had the headset on Joe Burrow.

69
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: Sighting Joe Burrow still possible that he comes back at

70
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: the end of this season. And if you can keep

71
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: yourself afloat the way the AFC is shaping right now,

72
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: there's no reason to believe that the Bengals can't make

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: a run. Well, I take that back, there's one reason

74
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: to believe the Bengals can't make a run, and that is,

75
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: by god, the worst defense I have seen in quite

76
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: some time.

77
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: Now.

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: I've seen and you've seen some bad Bengals defenses over

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. It's hard to find a

80
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: group worse than the twenty nineteen Bengals. That's still the

81
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: worst defense I've ever seen. Only twenty four Bengals defense

82
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: was pretty atrocious, and the twenty twenty five defense is

83
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: not much better. I mean the inability to tackle slow

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: off the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh could have run a

85
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: toss to the right side every play tonight and won

86
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: the game if they wanted to. That's how slow the

87
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: light the linebackers were. That's how bad the tackling was.

88
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: That's how awful the defensive line was. Now, obviously Trey

89
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: Hendrickson not playing is going to have an impact on that.

90
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: Shamar Stewart playing his first game in a few weeks

91
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: is gonna have any He's not gonna be one hundred percent.

92
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Not gonna expect him to show up and be Trey Hendrickson.

93
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: Not going to be easy. But Barrett Carter left a

94
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: lot to be desired. Demetrius Knight left a lot to

95
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: be desired. Nobody really played well on the defense except

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: for DJ Turner. Another couple of pass breaks up for

97
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: DJ Turner, press passes broken up. He tried to say

98
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: for DJ Turner the league leader in that category, and

99
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: the Bengals may have a budding star in DJ Turner

100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: on the outside. On the opposite end of that spectrum,

101
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: one of the storylines going into the game tonight. Cam

102
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: Taylor Britt, he was a healthy scratch. He got his

103
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: ass benched by Zach Taylor and the Bengals coaching staff

104
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: because of how atrocious he has been. And Josh Newton,

105
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: Marco Wilson, dj Ivy in on the last play of

106
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: the game, they all got a shot over Cam Taylor Britt,

107
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: who has put together one of the worst performances of

108
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: a Bengal ever so far this season. So there's a

109
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: lot going on with this team right now as they

110
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: head into the quote unquote Mini by which is obviously

111
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 2: being off this weekend, and then getting back to work

112
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: ahead of the New York Jets in the Bengals Ring

113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: of Honor game next weekend. I want to hear from

114
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: you five one three seven four nine seven thousand, if

115
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: you were at the game tonight, if you watched the

116
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: game tonight, if you listen to the game tonight, if

117
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: you were stuck at work and you were scrolling on

118
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: Twitter during the game tonight, I don't care. Anybody is

119
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: welcome on this show at five point three seven four

120
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: nine seven thousand. You can also tweeted me at Audie

121
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: Elmore a U T. Y E L M R. Now,

122
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something here that might be an unpopular opinion.

123
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: It might get a couple of people all riled up.

124
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings here, but I

125
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: have to say this because I believe it to be

126
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: the truth. Zach Taylor was excellent tonight. Zach Taylor had

127
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: one of his best games ever. When it comes to

128
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: play calling. He had great feel, he had great balance,

129
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: He kept the defense guessing. He used a lot of

130
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: different motions, bunch formations, quick passes, slants, took advantage of

131
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: man coming, took advantage of zone coverage, and ran the

132
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: football effectively. Did Zach Taylor? I thought he had a

133
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: brilliant feel for the game tonight as a play caller

134
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: and got into a rhythm and a comfort level with

135
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, and that allowed the offense to flourish. And

136
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: more than anything, they effectively ran the football. That's important.

137
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: When you run the football, you unlock everything else. This

138
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: is a huge, huge step in the right direction for

139
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Well, take a break, we'll come back and

140
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: we'll get to your phone calls. You're listing to the

Speaker 2: service the rest. The Bengals window might be opening again

149
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: with Joe Flacco leading the way. Flacco tonight thirty one

150
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: of forty seven, three hundred and forty two yards, three touchdowns.

151
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: Bengals offensive line did a good job protecting him as well.

152
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: Just two sacks for fourteen yards. Now he got the

153
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: ball out quick. That's a good thing. You got to

154
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: live like that in the National Football League, especially against TJ.

155
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: Watt and Nick Herbig and Alex Heighsmith and all those

156
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: guys that Pittsburgh has on that defensive line. Great offensive

157
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: game plan from the Bengals tonight, especially on a short week.

158
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven, four, nine,

159
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. We have full lines right now as we

160
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: inch towards one o'clock in the morning. Let's start in

161
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: Cole Rain and talk to Joe. Joe, you're on postgame

162
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: sports talk. What's up?

163
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for having having me and you've got a

164
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: great show.

165
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: Thank you. Man.

166
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 5: Hey, listen, you could coach the Beangals.

167
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: Brother, you could coach the Bengals with that offense with

168
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: Higgins and Jamar Chase.

169
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you can team.

170
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what what they got here is

171
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: you got a guy and Joe Flacco who didn't have

172
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: anybody's row to. Really basic Cleveland receivers weren't that great.

173
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: Now he's got somebody can throw to.

174
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 6: Jamar needs somebody to throw him.

175
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: The ball, and he can need somebody to throw him

176
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: the ball, and that's working. So oh no, it's working.

177
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: On a defensive end, Let's face it, Pittsburgh didn't play.

178
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: Any better than the Bengals.

179
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, that's true.

180
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: And honestly, I tell the Bengals got to do is

181
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: match the other defense through the season. If they can

182
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: do that through the whole sentire season, to have Flaco

183
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: beyond point like you was tonight, I mean, that's face.

184
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: You're right. He throws the ball quick.

185
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: He's does an amazing job.

186
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: And getting getting it out quick.

187
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 6: He has like three seconds gone.

188
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: He's got to keep throwing that and if he does,

189
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 4: I see the Banks maybe sneaking in the back door.

190
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 7: Man.

191
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: I mean tonight it being a decent Pittsburgh stewer team.

192
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did, and obviously, I mean they got some

193
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: good players on that defense. They haven't been great at

194
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: all this year, and I think it's it's you know,

195
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: part of the conversation in Pittsburgh is they've spend one

196
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: hundred and forty million dollars on that defense and they're

197
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: still struggling to get stops. And you're right the point

198
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: you made in Joe thank you for the phone call,

199
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: the point you made about the guys that Joe Flacco

200
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: is throwing to. I mean, he never had weapons like

201
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: this in Cleveland, didn't have weapons like this in Denver,

202
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: didn't have weapons like this in Indianapolis. I think back

203
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: to that twenty fifteen season when he had Steve Smith

204
00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: and Tory Smith as wide receivers in Baltimore. That had

205
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: to be like the next closest thing. And even then,

206
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: that's that's not the same as what you got with

207
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and T Higgins. Higgins and Chase combined for

208
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: thirty three targets tonight. Thirty three of Joe Flacco's forty

209
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: seven attempts went to Jamar Chase and T Higgins. That

210
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. Let's go to Covington and talk to Liam.

211
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 8: What's up, Liam, I'll tell you what I am fired up, man.

212
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 8: It's fun to watch fun football. I'm yes, fun, It's

213
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 8: supposed to be fun. Yeah, I can't believe it having fun.

214
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 7: And I took I.

215
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 8: Took some kids in this game. This was their first

216
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 8: NFL game ever.

217
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

218
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 8: It's like, so I had to tell them when we

219
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 8: kicked that settle for that field we I'm like, they're

220
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 8: gonna score and they think it's over. They're like, oh,

221
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 8: we want, we want. I'm like, no, be ready, and

222
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 8: we're marching down. I'm thinking, Jeremy Hill, We're gonna fumble

223
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 8: the ball. I'm like, I'm thinking every work Stase scenario.

224
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 8: GJ what tripstack Joe Flacco interception after an awesome game?

225
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then none of that happened.

226
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't feel real.

227
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 8: I couldn't even accept it, Like I almost wasn't even happy.

228
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 8: At first, I'm like, no way, this shocked, but the

229
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 8: joys finally thinking in an hour later and I'm just

230
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 8: fired up.

231
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 9: Man.

232
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: I love football, love I.

233
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: Love football too. And that's the thing, Liam, Like I was,

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: I was having that feeling as I'm leaning into the

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: couch and I have that pit in my stomach of like,

236
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: how is this gonna go wrong? And I had this

237
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: brief moment of clarity of like, this is what is

238
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: so beautiful and so great about being a sports fan.

239
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: And if you're in the stadium, those moments are even

240
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: better because you're just surrounded by sixty thousand people all

241
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: feeling the same way you are. And now you got

242
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: those kids hooked on football. You're out there spreading the

243
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: gospel of football. Liam, great job, they have.

244
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 8: A great night. Keep on the show off and show fam.

245
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, Liam. I appreciate that. Let's go to Loveland.

246
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Brent. Brent.

247
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 10: What's up, Hey, how you doing, buddy.

248
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm fantastic. It's a victory Friday.

249
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 7: Brent.

250
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 10: Heck yeah, man, I tell you what. Look, you're right

251
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 10: about Taylor. Like I've seen numerous times where we put

252
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 10: this team for to bed and those guys, he's figured

253
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 10: out ways to do it. Like we're all ready run

254
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 10: him out of town one season after another. But they

255
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 10: figure it out. And you know, you got the Steelers

256
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 10: like spending all that money on defense, and the Singles

257
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 10: spend all this money on offense. Like the thing that

258
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 10: impressed me the most tonight and really the last couple

259
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 10: weeks is the offensive line. Like it's so maligned, but

260
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 10: they've been running the ball and they've been protecting the

261
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 10: quarterback and you know they're they're making it happen. And

262
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 10: this defense, also much maligned, just has not been able

263
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 10: to make the stops when it matters in the last

264
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 10: few weeks. You know, not enough last week. But they

265
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 10: did tonight like they did tonight, and we got a

266
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 10: new season on our hands. You know, we're back in it.

267
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 10: We're back in it.

268
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you couldn't have said it better, Brent,

269
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: and thank you for the phone call. You just gotta

270
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: find a way. You gotta find a way to win,

271
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: and that's what the Bengals did. And the defense has

272
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: I think everybody agrees the defense has a long, long, long, long,

273
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: long long long way to go. But they showed up tonight.

274
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: They forced a couple of turnovers of Aaron Rodgers. They

275
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: forced a punt which I still can't believe. Mike Tomlin

276
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: punted on like fourth and four towards the middle of

277
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: the field, down by a score. I still can't believe

278
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: that he punted in that moment, but he did. And

279
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: you mentioned the running game, and to me, it's the

280
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: key that unlocks everything. How about this statistic. This is

281
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: from Paul Dayner, Junior of the Athletic This is the

282
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: Bengals yards per carry by game this year. Week one

283
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: in Cleveland two yards per carry, Week two against Jacksonville

284
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: two point eight, Week three two point five, Week four

285
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: three point five, Week five five point three, Week six

286
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: three point four, and tonight at one point it was

287
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: up over ten yards per carry and it finished like that.

288
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: You run it like that, you're gonna be fine. Really,

289
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: if you run it more than three and a half

290
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: yards per carry every time, you're gonna be just fine.

291
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: And that's what the Bengals have got to be aiming for,

292
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: because when you have even the slightest threat of a run,

293
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: it forces the defense to step up, It forces them

294
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: to bring guys up in the box, It forces more

295
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: man coverage, it forces more blitz, It plays into the

296
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: hands of your playmakers on the outside. Even the slightest

297
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 2: threat of a run opens up the entire offense. And

298
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I thought Zach Taylor did a masterful job of balancing

299
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: that tonight. RPOs, quick game, quick slants, the mesh concept

300
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: at the end of the game that left Jamar Chase

301
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: and Jamar Chase wide open, nobody near him got them

302
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: into Pittsburgh Steeler territory. What I've seen also more from

303
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: Zach more motions, more bunch formations, things that cause havoc

304
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: for the defense and can create separation, huge, huge in

305
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: getting the offense going. In A tip of the cap

306
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: to Zach Taylor for that. Let's go to Middletown. Let's

307
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: talk to Bobby. What's up, Bobby?

308
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: Hey, are you?

309
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm fantastic man.

310
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 11: So I think there were two takeaways from the game.

311
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 11: Chase Brown in the first couple drives had that terrible drop,

312
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 11: you know, probably would have had a fifteen to twenty

313
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 11: yard game, but he bounced back after that quite amazing.

314
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 11: And then I think another underrated thing was on the

315
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 11: third and eighteen. Maybe at the time it didn't seemed

316
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 11: like it was the right thing to run the ball,

317
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 11: but it turns out it made him waste of time

318
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 11: out and ended up you know, saving that because Aaron Rodgers.

319
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 11: You don't want him on last drive with the time

320
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 11: out giving him a little bit of clock.

321
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just.

322
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 11: Joe Flack goat.

323
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: Bobby, thank you. Yes, we're all whacko for Flacoh, Joe

324
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: Flack goat. When I was in Green Bay last weekend,

325
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: they were saying go flat Co instead of go pack go.

326
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you brought up a good point. I

327
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: kind of entirely forgot about all the drops Jamar. Chase

328
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: was targeted twenty three times tonight. I think he had

329
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: like three drops and he had one that I don't

330
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: know if it counts as a drop, but it was

331
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: a one handed effort that it's not out of the

332
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: realm of possibility for Jamar to make that play like

333
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: we've seen him do that before. There was one that

334
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: hit him right in the hands that nobody could believe

335
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: that he dropped, so even you know, listen to the

336
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: postgame show Dave Lapham talking to Chase Brown afterwards, and

337
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: Chase Brown was like, I feel like we left so

338
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: much out there. We left so many plays out there

339
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: that we went back, and I thought that was a

340
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: good point from him. Also, speaking of the drops, andre

341
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: Yoshivash had another one and then he you know, catches

342
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: a small pass and you know, it's a bit of

343
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: a Bronx cheer from the Bengals crowd. And then later

344
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: on in the game, third quarter, big moment on a

345
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: third down, andre Yoshivas thirty nine yard reception. Again on

346
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: a beautiful play design using Jamar Chase and t Higgins

347
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: to draw the defense. Andre Yoshivas gets a mismatch down

348
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: the middle of the field and Joe Flacco hits it.

349
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: That stuff right there is when you're in a rhythm

350
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: and you're in that flow state as a play caller

351
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: and you're going with that stuff. Like Zach Taylor was,

352
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: let's go to Matt in Springfield. What's up, Matt, Hey,

353
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 2: what's going on?

354
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 7: Man? How you do?

355
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: I'm fired up? Dude. I don't know about you, but

356
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm fired up.

357
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 7: I am at a good feeling.

358
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 5: You know.

359
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: Even earlier day, I was like, man, Bengals are gonna

360
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 7: win this tonight. Man, their backs against the wall. And

361
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 7: I mean Joe Slacker looked really good against the Packers

362
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 7: in that second half, you know, so, I mean, think

363
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 7: about it, he was there for five days and hopefully

364
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: get in the second half of that Packers money.

365
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Come on, really, I mean yeah, like the first half

366
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: against the Packers, it looked like a dude who'd been

367
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: there for a couple of days. And there was a couple,

368
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: you know, like get your feet wet drives in this game.

369
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: But outside of those, I guess maybe six five six

370
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: total drives, the Bengals have gotten points on almost every

371
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: other drive.

372
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 7: You know what's crazy, too, is the office looks a

373
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 7: lot better under center too. You know, instead of always

374
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 7: being a shotgun, the way they were under center tonight

375
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 7: a lot was I mean, it was a breath of

376
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 7: you know, fresh air. It opened up the run lanes

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 7: so much more. I mean, Joe Burrow's gonna have to

378
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 7: do that when he gets back. It can't always be shotgun. Sure,

379
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 7: that's why Joe Burrow's getting hit. The way is Look

380
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 7: how good the line blocked tonight when you were under center.

381
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 7: I mean, it takes a lot of pressure off of

382
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 7: the line, you know, I mean, it really does. So

383
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 7: that's what they're going to start doing because the run

384
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 7: game open up to night and when you have the

385
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 7: run game working, everything else works hand in hand. And yeah,

386
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 7: that game Flaco sewing for almost four hundred yards. I mean,

387
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 7: that was a fun game.

388
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: The Unk bow Man, the Huns ball man. It was

389
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: so much fun. It was like a track meet between

390
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: those two old dudes.

391
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was. It was definitely fun. And yeah, man,

392
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 7: I'm happy to see Cam Pitt at brick Get bench.

393
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 7: Maybe he might come back and it might let a

394
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 7: fire under him because I mean, he was not playing

395
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 7: like that, you know, last year. I mean that something's

396
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 7: going on in his head. So hopefully this bench in

397
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 7: might you know, reading not a fire. But DJ Turner

398
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 7: he's becoming a star. Dude is becoming a star. But

399
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 7: good stuff, man, I'm feeling pretty good. We could be

400
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 7: five or four going into the bye weeks. Everything works out.

401
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 7: Let's not lay no egg against the Jets or.

402
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: The finger works works for me, Matt, thank you, yeah,

403
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,679

425
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: thirty this morning. On a victory Friday, following a Bengals

426
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: thirty three thirty one victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The

427
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: key to success as far as I'm concerned, tonight was

428
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: the run game for the Bengals. Chase Brown eleven carries

429
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: for one hundred and eight yards. He finally goes over

430
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: one hundred yards on a game this season. Samajp Rynd

431
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: had seven carries for thirty one yards. Joe Flacco ran

432
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: at five times for three yards, including a little scamper.

433
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: Flacco had a little scamper that we haven't seen since

434
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: the likes of Ryan Finley around here. I mean, the

435
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: place went absolutely bonkers when Joe Flacco late in the

436
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: game on a It was like second and long if

437
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: I want to say second and ten and Joe Flaco

438
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: just keeps it on a zone read and runs for

439
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: the first down. Take a listen. This is what it

440
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: sounded like with Dan Horde and Dave Lapham when Joe

441
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: Flacco tucked it and ran it himself.

442
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 12: Flaco in the gun, two receivers out to either side.

443
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 12: It's a handoff, no Flaco running with the ball, then

444
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 12: he'll run for a first down. What a call by

445
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 12: Zach Taylor as he has a forty year old quarterback who.

446
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: Is not fast at all.

447
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 12: Take a handoff and keep it on a zone read

448
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 12: for a twelve yard The.

449
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 13: Red Sea parted for him. I mean they bit on

450
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 13: that run fake. Mike Tomlin's not happy about it. They

451
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 13: bit hard on that run fake. Everybody did. I'll tell

452
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 13: you what. High Smith Who high Smith? He came down

453
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 13: the line of scrimmage. He was gonna tackle p Ryn

454
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 13: for a loss. He was all pumped up. Flacco takes

455
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 13: it up the field.

456
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: Facial shades of Ryan Finley against the Pittsburgh Steelers on

457
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: a Monday Night a few years ago. That was incredible,

458
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: and Joe Flacco postgame talking with the Thursday Night Football

459
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: crew from Amazon Prime, basically said that wasn't what was

460
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: supposed to happen, Like there was another play called and

461
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: there was a miscommunication on where this guy was at

462
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: and the lineup and the play clock was running down,

463
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: and I just said, oh screw it, I'll just do it.

464
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: And he saw the way Alex HeiG Smith crashed down

465
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, just pulled it and ran. I mean,

466
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: that is incredible for a forty plus year old quarterback

467
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: to tuck it and run like that. That was awesome.

468
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: And that play call, that drive I thought was a

469
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: really important drive in this game because Zach Taylor didn't

470
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: change who he had been all night long. He was

471
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: incredibly aggressive in that moment. So it was the Bengals

472
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: ninth drive of the game and Mike Tomlin had just

473
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: punted it back, and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, you

474
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: have a chance with the lead here to go put

475
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: this away, go win the game on offense. And you're

476
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: also trying to like run the clock down a little bit,

477
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: and you know, Milk, it as like a four minute

478
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: offense type of situation. And to Zach's credit, he didn't

479
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: just run the ball three times in punt. He put

480
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: the ball in the hands of Joe Flacco. He trusted

481
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: him to get the ball in the hands of Jamar Chase.

482
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: That was the deep ball down the sideline to Chase

483
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: that he got one paw on it and wasn't able

484
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: to bring it in. Then it was the Flacco tuck

485
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: and run that a couple of run plays did work.

486
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: Another incompletion. I think this was when he got sacked

487
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: on that drive as well, and it was third and eighteen.

488
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: They handed the ball off, tried to drain some more clock,

489
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: and then punted it back to the Steelers. That was

490
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: the moment, That was the sequence I circled as Okay,

491
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: they had a chance to win the game on offense,

492
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: but they didn't and they punted the ball back. But

493
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: I appreciated how Zach Taylor remained aggressive and then even

494
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: later on another opportunity, Zach remained aggressive, kept throwing the

495
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: ball to Jamar Chase and t Higgins. I think Zach

496
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: deserves a lot of credit for his game plan tonight.

497
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: And listen, I've been if you listen to my show

498
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: down the Hall on Sincy three to sixty on ESPN

499
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,879

500
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: follow me on Twitter, a couple of weeks ago, Zach

501
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: Taylor lost me. I have long been a Zach Taylor apologist.

502
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: I have believed in Zach Taylor. A couple of weeks

503
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: ago he lost me, and I still think he has

504
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: a long way to go to earn me back. But

505
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: tonight was a good step in the right direction. Tonight

506
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: was a really, really good performance from the Bengals head coach.

507
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: Phone lines are open at five, one, three, seven, nine,

516
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 14: what five six out routes to Jamar Chase.

517
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 15: They could not stop it.

518
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 16: It was amazing.

519
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've never seen anything like that. He was unstoppable.

520
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 15: I would agree with you, Austin. You know Zach, Zach

521
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 15: called a gutsy, gutsy game finally for once in his life.

522
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 15: We haven't seen that in a really, really long time.

523
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 15: It doesn't matter what Joe was out there.

524
00:28:59,000 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: I was.

525
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 15: I was really proud to uh to see uh Joe

526
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 15: just beat Joe and and just keeps from it to Chase.

527
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 15: I mean, they couldn't stop it. It was it was amazing.

528
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 15: I don't how many games dealers being those games I've

529
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 15: been to and and we've been let down, and uh,

530
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 15: much like you, I was biting my nails hold on

531
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 15: the seats for the little life of me and thinking

532
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 15: that this is this is not gonna end well, but

533
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 15: they just kept going back to that same route and

534
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 15: it was. It was amazing.

535
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was. To have that type of chemistry

536
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: and that type of timing between two guys that have

537
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: known each other for ten days, that's incredible. It is.

538
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 15: It really is a testament to two professionals. Yeah, and

539
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 15: I I think you just you have to part away.

540
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 15: I think Taylor Solid, you have to you have to

541
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 15: admit to that tailor saw that they had, like the

542
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 15: professional chemistry it was. It was already obviously already spoken

543
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 15: last week about about that.

544
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,880

Speaker 2: Safe travels man with you. Aaron Rodgers was not happy,

568
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: apparently before the season because the helmet that he's worn

569
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: for years has finally been It failed the inspection tests

570
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: in the standards for NFL helmets and so he had

571
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: to get a new one. And it does look like

572
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: he's wearing something out of a superhero movie. Makes his

573
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: helmet does his noggin look pretty big? All right, let's

581
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 5: Up, absolutely jacked up. Okay, first of all, I would

582
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 5: be lying to you hand up when we When I

583
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 5: heard we got black O, I was devastated. I thought

584
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: our season was absolutely over. We were putting a statue

585
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 5: back there. We were gonna be screwed. And I am

586
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 5: eating my words as we speak.

587
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: What does all this say about Jake Browning?

588
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: Oh, I was so okay. So I was at the

589
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 5: bowling it was bowling night tonight, and that's the first

590
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 5: thing that I said was, Man, Jake Browning must feel

591
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 5: horrible because this makes him look we at first when

592
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: he was when he was anointed to take over after

593
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 5: Joe got injured, we said, Jake Browning is the top

594
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: thirty two quarterback in the league.

595
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: Sure he was.

596
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely did not play like it, didn't even play like

597
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 5: a top sixty quarterback in the league. Was absolutely horrible.

598
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 5: I feel like he also made our O line look

599
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 5: even worse than it is and poor on those guys,

600
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: I mean they're not good whatsoever, but he made them

601
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: look so bad. And the fact that a forty something

602
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 5: year old Flaco can come in and dice up they're

603
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 5: not the steel curtains, but dyce up the Pittsburgh Steelers

604
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 5: is absolutely wild and gets my blood blowing.

605
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: Buddy, what kind of blood was flowing when you saw

606
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco take off running.

607
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: Well, it was a lot of baka red bulls was flowing.

608
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 5: But when he ran the naked it was like shout

609
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 5: out to little giants that annexation of Puerto Rico or

610
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 5: the fumble Rouski. It looked like nobody on the planet

611
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 5: knew what the hell was going on and they just

612
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 5: stood there and just in all this guy was I'm

613
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: pretty sure that he was running in slow motion and

614
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: was still able to pick up twelve yards wild. That

615
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: that fired me up. I was so happy. Often you're

616
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 5: a boss man. I support you the whole time. I'm

617
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 5: a huge Sincy three sixty fan. I'm so happy that

618
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 5: you know you get to take over. You're doing a

619
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,440

00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: Indeed, that is Brian out in La. We still got

Speaker 2: We've got Josh, We've got others all coming up next.

628
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: This is the Tri State Chevy Dealer's postgame sports talk

629
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: show on a victory Monday on ESPN fifteen thirty and

630
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW.

631
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 12: Flaco in the gun chase, one of three receivers out

632
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 12: to the right, Placo is reading catches the shotgun snap

633
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 12: Blitz coming. Blaco throws a fade and it is called

634
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 12: punning inside the ten and going into a slide his

635
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 12: t Higgins. That's brilliant, Patty run into the end zone.

636
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 12: It would have been a touchdown. We all would have

637
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 12: been excited, but it would have left plenty of time

638
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 12: for Rogers to answer. By going down, he forces the

639
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 12: Steelers to call another time out.

640
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: Brilliant That was the word used by both Dan Hord

641
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: and Al Michaels in that brilliant moment when t. Higgins

642
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: caught that deep pass and slid down to drain the clock.

643
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,719

649
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: to an establishment called Lenny's where I'm told Mike and

650
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: hundreds of others have flooded it after the big Bengals

651
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike from Lennies, You're on

00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: the west side?

655
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: The West Side That Lenny's is pretty strong right now

656
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: from the time that, uh, throughout the game and instance

657
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: the game ended. So it's been pretty good.

658
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 2: But what was what was the atmosphere like at the

659
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: Paid Course Stadium for you tonight?

660
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 3: Uh, the atmosphere was, Uh, it was very similar to

661
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: We made comments in the stand like the the playoff games,

662
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, the crowd was in it and uh,

663
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: you know a lot of Bengo fans. I mean you

664
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: could see not many Steeler fans there and everybody was

665
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: extremely excited.

666
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: I was going to say on TV they talked about

667
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: how there's far fewer Steeler fans there than you normally see.

668
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.

669
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, it's it's a great thing. We didn't have

670
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 3: to see the tows and a lot of white and

671
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 3: it was great to see.

672
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 16: Uh you know.

673
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: One of things I was gonna say, uh, you know,

674
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 3: I know, uh you know, you've been a little uh

675
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 3: you know, questioning Zach. I thought it was great. I

676
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: thought it was great that Zach was uh, you know,

677
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: aggressive throughout the game and just you're to try to

678
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: win the game.

679
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right there with you. It was aggressive from

680
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: start to finish. Mike, it sounds like you're having a

681
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: good time. I'm gonna let you go.

682
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, no, what on one quick question? How do

683
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: you think this does for the trade deadline?

684
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: I don't think it does anything. I don't think the Bengals,

685
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it moved the needle for them. But

686
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: they should be going after somebody on defense, uh safety,

687
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: that'd be nice, maybe another pass rusher. Because Aaron Rodgers

688
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: had all day he was he was making peanut butter

689
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: and jelly sandwiches back there all night.

690
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: He had a lot of time. But it was it

691
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: was great to see the team come up and uh,

692
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: you know, make the place when they had to. So

693
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 3: whode Austin, and thanks for everything you're doing.

694
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:52,600

00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: from the West Side down to the a town Atlanta

698
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: where Josh is standing by in Georgia. What's up, Josh?

699
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,840

Speaker 16: six hundred Bengals fans in the group and to have

709
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 16: watched this game with only about fifteen to twenty people

710
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 16: and watch us pull us out, Holy moly.

711
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,120

00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:56,000

Speaker 7: Hey.

737
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 17: Last game, I commented about Joe Flacco getting the taste

738
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 17: of the weapons he had there.

739
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 7: At his leisure.

740
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 17: Uh huh, tonight, I think we've got to taste of

741
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 17: Joe Flacco. And I want to say right now that

742
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 17: who Day cream sure does taste sweet.

743
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: That the Whoday cream sure does taste sweet. Is that

744
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: what you just said?

745
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 7: Yes?

746
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 18: I did.

747
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think i've ever heard that one.

748
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: John, Well, you know what.

749
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 17: Victory we've been lating on it. Yeah that, yeah, I

750
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 17: wonder comment on the defense. Okay, I don't know how

751
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 17: many games in a row the opposing team's first possession

752
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 17: they go down and they score. I'm curious to know

753
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 17: was there any Did I call any blitzes?

754
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: You know, it didn't seem like it didn't seem like

755
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: he called a lot. I don't know for sure. We

756
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: have to double check the stats in the morning, but

757
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: it seemed like there were very few blitzes called. Uh,

758
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 2: And I thought that that that has to change, because

759
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: they just weren't getting any semblance of pressure on Rogers

760
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: at all.

761
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 17: Well, you had your you have your defensive down line

762
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 17: then giving you a hundred percent and uh, if they

763
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 17: need a little bit of help, I'm sure you can

764
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 17: find a safety or a corner or some a linebacker

765
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 17: someone just to you know, add that extra Uh. Sure, Russia,

766
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 17: you get the line of scrimmage, you know, and you

767
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 17: got behind the line of scrimmage, and you got beyond

768
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 17: the line of scrimmage. Well, you don't want that offense

769
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 17: to penetrate beyond the line of scrimmage. If you hold

770
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 17: them for three downs, they kick the ball. Or if

771
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 17: you don't get a turnover, humble or interception or whatnot.

772
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 17: I mean, you got to help those down linemen sometimes,

773
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 17: especially when you know they're giving you one hundred percent.

774
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, John, And thank you for

775
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: the phone call. I appreciate it. Yeah, I think it

776
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: goes without saying. I mean, you're happy that they won.

777
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: Everybody's happy that they won. But getting pressure on the

778
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: quarterback is a major issue. And without Trey Hendrickson it's

779
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 2: even it's an even bigger issue. And if he were

780
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 2: to miss time, if this back injury or this hip

781
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: injury nags and he's not able to play, I mean,

782
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: they're in major trouble. I mean, it's just in Pittsburgh

783
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: doesn't have a very good offensive line coming into this game.

784
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: They did not have a good offensive line, and the

785
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: Bengals really did nothing to pressure them at all. We'll

786
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: take a break, We'll come back. This is the Tri

Speaker 2: Yo c Bosh with the catch.

795
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 12: Beautiful throw by Flacco. Yos beating Darius Slay and he's

796
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 12: tackled at the Pittsburgh twenty two. How about thirty nine

797
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 12: yards on thirty five man.

798
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,400

805
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: who got involved in the action after a rough couple

806
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: of games for Yoshi. He comes up big and the

807
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: Bengals offense comes up big in a thirty three thirty

808
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,160

Speaker 2: ninety six yards and a touchdown. He was targeted ten times.

814
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: Yoshi three catches forty nine yards and four targets. Noah

815
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: Fan four catches forty four yards. He caught all four

816
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: of his targets, including a twenty five yarder. They got

00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: the Bengals deep into Pittsburgh territory. Chase Brown had two

818
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: catches for minus eight yards. Blew up a couple of

819
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 2: spring screenplays did the Pittsburgh Steelers, and as a whole,

820
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: thirty one receptions for three hundred and four two yards

821
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns were the Bengals wide receivers. Let's go

822
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 2: back to the phones five three, seven, four, nine, seven

823
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: thousand getting your reaction to the Bengals victory over the

824
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's go out to Batavia and talk to

825
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 2: Alan Allen. What's up, Alan, Alan? Are you there?

826
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 19: He can hear.

827
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're on the air. What's up?

828
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 18: Oh wow, man, I'm sorry, I let's fall asleep. Hey

829
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 18: sorry man. But first off, I want to say Liam,

830
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 18: who caught earlier about bringing bringing the kids to the game,

831
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 18: that was awesome. Yeah, you know, I got to experience

832
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 18: that when I was younger. The other thing I want

833
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 18: to say is last week Yoshi Vash really was a

834
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 18: disappointment and I'm a huge, huge fan of his, and

835
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 18: I don't want to say tonight he he came back

836
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 18: and made it better. He still got a ways to

837
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 18: go in my book, but good catch on his part,

838
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 18: and hope he keeps on going. So and loves for

839
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 18: go Yoshi Vash and thanks for taking my call.

840
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alan, go get some sleep, man, Thank you for

841
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: the call. And yeah, Yoshi still has a long way

842
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: to go. I was ready to start calling for Mitchell

843
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: Tinsley to maybe get a few of those snaps. And

844
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 2: Yoshi had another drop a pass that certainly is catchable

845
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: by his standards earlier tonight on a third and eleven

846
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: that stalled out a Bengals drive that they ended up

847
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 2: having to punt. And you know, I think making a

848
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 2: few big catches. He had a six yard catch, he

849
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: had that long thirty nine yard catch. I mean that

850
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: sort of stuff right there that can give you some confidence,

851
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: and it can instill some confidence in Joe Flacco. It

852
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: can really help that relationship and get Yoshi back on track.

853
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: And so you know, a little bit goes a long way,

854
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: especially for wide receivers. You just start feeding them, start

855
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 2: feeding them, and the next thing you know, they're right

856
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: back to being their productive self. And I think Jamar

857
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: is a great example of that. So go out to

858
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: coved Dale. Let's talk to Mike. What's up? Mike?

859
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 6: Hey, Awdie, how you doing.

860
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm good man, what's on your mind?

861
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 6: So I went to the game tonight.

862
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 20: Yeah, and.

863
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 6: My voice is still recovering. But oh my gosh, what

864
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 6: a game. It seems like every time that the on

865
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 6: offense call, heyke, all right, where's Jamar? And every time

866
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 6: that he threw, every time the Flaco threw the ball,

867
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 6: there's Jamar right there. I don't, I don't. I am

868
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 6: just overjoyed.

869
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: It's amazing how it can seem so simple and yet

870
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: he just it seems like he's uncoverable. Like I'm ready

871
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: to say, I think he's the best wide receiver in

872
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: the history of the Bengals franchise. And that's saying a lot,

873
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: like there's some really great ones, but I've never seen

874
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 2: a receiver consistently win the way he wins body control,

875
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 2: hand control, strength, yards after the catch, and being able

876
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: to do it in such a myriad of different roles.

877
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 2: He's moving around all over the place. Sometimes in the backfield,

878
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 2: he's in the slot, he's in most and he's outside.

879
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: Like I've never seen a player like Jamar Chase. He's

880
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: so oh good, Oldy.

881
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 6: I just want to say, I appreciate you and Uh

882
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 6: in the role that you're doing tonight. And it's it's

883
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 6: late night. I've had some pops.

884
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:14,360

00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 7: Well, I'm happy to hear.

889
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 3: Well.

890
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,040

00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: be there.

893
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 8: Yeah.

894
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 6: Do we know that that's his job?

895
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: I believe. I saw Scott Springer report that he's going

896
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 2: to be doing Bearcat games for the rest of the year.

897
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: I believe so. I mean, I don't know that for sure.

898
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to Tony about that directly, but I

899
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: would assume that that's going to happen.

900
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you, you and Tony get me through

Speaker 19: A lot more fun tonight, and yeah, keep it going man,

931
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 19: big fan.

932
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: And today, well John Houdai, thank you. I appreciate that.

933
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, I know it's funny the Bengals, you know,

934
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 2: go through this stretch where they lose a few games

935
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow gets hurt and all of a sudden

936
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 2: people are saying, oh, well, the Bengals never should have

937
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: paid t Higgins. They never should have done that the

938
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: way that they did. That's not necessarily the case. The

939
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: Bengals should have done a lot better job drafting and

940
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: developing offensive lineman. They should have spent more money because

941
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: they had plenty of money in the offseason to be

942
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: able to to spend up to the cap more than

943
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 2: they did. And maybe, just maybe their offensive line coach

944
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out the way that they expected him to.

945
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: But to act as if you can't have those two

946
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 2: dudes on the team, I mean, they are as good

947
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 2: as anybody in the NFL. And that is a hell

948
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: of a one to two punch that you can scheme

949
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: so many different things off of. And while the offense

950
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: a lot of times this year has been broken and

951
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: a lot of that has to do with quarterback play

952
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: and offensive line play. You can't ignore the mismatches that

953
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: those dudes create. I mean the Steelers, for example, they

954
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: went out and signed Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey and

955
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 2: Juan thorn Thornhill and Deshaun Elliott. They spend one hundred

956
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: and thirty nine million dollars on that defense for the

957
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: sole purpose of facing Jamar Chase and t Higgins twice

958
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: a year. Baltimore did something similar. Cleveland did a really

959
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 2: good job of this with the type of corn that

960
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 2: they acquired. Now they just traded one in Greg Newsom

961
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 2: to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they did a really good

962
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: job of building that defense against the Bengals. Baltimore, it

963
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out, but they took a safety in Malachi

964
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: Starks with the first pick in the draft. Their first

965
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: pick in the draft, they signed jy R. Alexander in

966
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: the offseason, like teams build to try to beat the Bengals,

967
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: to prepare for the Bengals because of that's that's how

968
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: good those two guys are. And ideally it's supposed to

969
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: have a trickle down effect to the run game. And

970
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 2: that's what's supposed to make the offense work. And let's

971
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 2: not forget how good this offense was a year ago

972
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: with Jamar Chase and t Higgins and Joe Burrow, Like

973
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: that's what it's supposed to look like. Tonight we are

974
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 2: reminded of just how good those dudes are and what

975
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 2: that offense is supposed to look like. We'll take a break,

976
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: We'll come back. More phone calls five point three, seven four, nine,

977
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: seven thousand. We have a lot to get to still.

978
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,520

981
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 12: for Pittsburgh. My action faked by Rogers looking to throw

982
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 12: it deep, launches it high and deep edit is stepped

983

Speaker 12: off foot Bengals intercepting Jordan Battle on his feet and

984
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,080

Speaker 12: field of the forty five the fifty the forty five

986

Speaker 12: of Pittsburgh and tackled at the forty.

987
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 2: Four yard line.

988
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 12: Howe Jordan Battle with his third interception of the year.

989
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 2: Man Dan Horde and Dave Lapham on the call as

990
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 2: Jordan Battle picked off Aaron Rodgers one of two interceptions

991
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: for the Bengals secondary Let's check on Cincinnati's defensive secondary coverage.

Speaker 2: Brought to you by Coversinc dot com, local health insurance

993

Speaker 2: experts for over twenty years. Two interceptions, one you just

994
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 2: heard from Jordon Battle, the other on a great play

995
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: fighting the ball away from DK Metcalf that DJ Turner made.

996
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 2: DJ Turner has been awesome for the last month or so.

997
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: He was awesome again tonight and did a great great

998
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 2: job of shutting down at times DK Metcalf and he

999
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: leads the league. DJ Turner leads the league in passes defensed,

1000
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 2: believe it or not. Other Bengals with the pass defense

1001
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 2: outside of Battle and Turner, well, Geno Stone, believe it

1002
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 2: or not, had one. He doesn't usually find himself anywhere

1003
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 2: near the football. Logan Wilson had a great play diving

1004
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 2: to his left and breaking up a pass and DJ

1005
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: Ivy at the very end that hail Mary by Aaron Rodgers,

1006
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: he batted that to the ground. That is the defensive

1010
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals secondary is what happened prior to the game tonight.

1011
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 2: Cam Taylor Britt was a healthy scratch. He was benched.

1012
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 2: He did not play, He was not active. He was

1013
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, big chain around his neck, big bright

1014
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: orange sunglasses, and apparently he was out of the locker

1015
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: room relatively quickly. Did not stick around to celebrate much

1016
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: with his teammates after the game. Cam Taylor Britt certainly

1017
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 2: going through something right now and not performing well by

1018
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: any stretch of the imagination, and the Bengals have seen

1019
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: enough not even giving him a shot, which is kind

1020
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 2: of amazing. But that's our secondary coverage. Let's go back

1021
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 2: to the phones. Let's go to Jeff in Owenton.

1022
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 9: What's up, Jeff, Hey, it was actually really a whole

1023
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 9: lot of fun to watch forty year old Joe Flacco

1024
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 9: hands real weapons which he's never had.

1025
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's really never been that that

1026
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 2: good of a group of guys around him in his

1027
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: entire career.

1028
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, not even close. I mean when they won the

1029
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, he didn't have anything like weapons like that,

1030
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 9: and he didn't. He didn't have an O line is

1031
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 9: as good as the Bengals O line, which is terrible.

1032
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he didn't even have that then.

1033
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 9: So he's been through it, and I hope he can

1034
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 9: convey a few things he's learned over the years to

1035
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 9: it or other Joe, because Joe tries to make things

1036
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 9: happen when there's nothing there and that's why he spends

1037
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 9: so many games in the eye. Yeah, No, you got

1038
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 9: to learn when to chuck the ball away.

1039
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1040
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 2: I think he can be a little bit better at that.

1041
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: But also I don't want to take away from what

1042
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 2: makes Joe Burrow great. I mean, what he did last

1043
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: year single handedly keeping this franchise afloat was a lot

1044
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 2: of because you know, he was out there making plays happen.

1045
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 9: You got to balance it. You got to balance it

1046
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 9: where he's getting hurt every season. That's been pretty tough

1047
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 9: to watch. Yeah, I'd like to the Bengals call in

1048
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 9: maybe another outside group to draft for them, because they're

1049
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 9: totally I've drafted right before they do, and nine of

1050
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 9: the last eleven years, my players that I drafted have

1051
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 9: ended up better than the players they draft. That shouldn't happen.

1052
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 9: That should never happen. There shouldn't be fans out drafting them.

1053
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 9: They have a lot more resources than I have. Yeah,

1054
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 9: so that's very annoying.

1055
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, Jeff, And it's a huge part

1056
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: of the the questions of this franchise moving forward, and

1057
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 2: thank you for the phone calls, is they have to

1058
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 2: be better at drafting. They just absolutely have to be. Uh.

1059
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 2: What we're not gonna do is create this narrative that

1060
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow and you know, Joe Burrow

1061
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: is part of the problem that that is complete bs

1062
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: and I know that we're gonna have clowns like Bill Cunningham.

1063
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna come on this show or come on the

1064
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 2: station in a few hours and talk about how there's

1065
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 2: a quarterback controversy and Joe Flacco's better than Joe Burrow

1066
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah blah blah. We're not gonna be

1067
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 2: doing that. If you know anything about football, you know

1068
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 2: that Joe Flacco played great tonight. Joe Flacco's had a

1069
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: really good career. Joe Flacco can't carry Joe Burrow's jockstrap.

1070
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 2: We know that, all right, not even close? Are there

1071
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: things Burrow could be better at Yes, that was a

1072
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: freak injury. What happened to his wrist, it was a

1073
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 2: freak injury. What happened to his toe? Those have nothing

1074
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 2: to do with him trying to escape the pocket. The Bengals,

1075
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: for the most part, bear the responsibility of what's happened

1076
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: to Joe Burrow. They started a guy named Michael Jordan,

1077
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: who was awful. That was blown up so bad in

1078
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 2: Washington his rookie year, Joe Burrow had have every ligament

1079
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 2: in his knee rearranged. That's not his fault. Those major injuries,

1080
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 2: those freak injuries, really are not his fault. Now, the

1081
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: calf injury, okay, the appendicitis that happens to people all

1082
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: the time. It's honestly been bad luck more than anything else.

1083
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to William and Lexington. What's up William?

1084
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing?

1085
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 21: Thanks for making my calling.

1086
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 15: Good Good.

1087
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 21: I'm on the way back to Lexington. Actually I'm I'm

1088
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 21: staying safe, but seventy five south. I'll try to be brief.

1089
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 21: But I decided to buy tickets today while I was

1090
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 21: at work. Uh, just just like this afternoon, and I

1091
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 21: met a friend that lives in downtown Cincy that I

1092
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 21: went to college with. I ended up driving directly from

1093
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 21: work to the game, and I wore my suits to

1094
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 21: the game unintentionally, but I just the atmosphere was amazing,

1095
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 21: Like I just couldn't Like I thought the Bengals.

1096
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 16: Are gonna win.

1097
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 21: I will admit I had some money on them, but

1098
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 21: that's neither here nor there. But like, if you're I'll

1099
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 21: put it this way. I'm kind of a bandwagoner. I'm

1100
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 21: from Western Kentucky, but I like the Bengals, and especially

1101
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 21: since Burrel's been around, they're so fun to watch. But man,

1102
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 21: if you're a lifelong Bengals fan, you got to love

1103
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 21: what you got right now. Like you have a fighting

1104
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 21: chance to win the division.

1105
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's all you can ask for. Two and

1106
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: zero in the AFC North. You still play the Browns

1107
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 2: again in week eighteen, and who knows is gonna be

1108
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for them that day. Baltimore does not look

1109
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 2: like a tough team right now. I mean the way

1110
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 2: that their defense is playing, like it's still right in

1111
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 2: front of you, like the path is there.

1112
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, it's it's exciting. So I might I might

1113
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 21: mess around and come up for another game in no.

1114
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you, William, what about today made

1115
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: you just kind of get this you know this hair

1116
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: to to say let's go.

1117
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 21: Well, I should have said it earlier, but I started

1118
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 21: mister Joe Elite Placo on my fantasy team, and boy

1119
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 21: does that work out. Uh, But I just had a

1120
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 21: wild here about it. I was like, I don't like

1121
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 21: the Steelers, Like they're overrated, to be frank, I mean

1122
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 21: they're not. They're gonna probably make the playoffs, but like

1123
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 21: they're nothing to write home about, Like they're a beatable team.

1124
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 21: And the thing that impressed me about the Bengals tonight

1125
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 21: is they had they had the running game to offset

1126
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 21: a little bit to keep, yeah, to keep the Steelers

1127
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 21: off balance. So if they can keep that, like they

1128
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 21: got to improve the pass rush. But if they can,

1129
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 21: if they all turn the ball over and they're a

1130
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 21: little balanced, they can win games for sure.

1131
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm right there with you, William. Thank you for

1132
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: the phone call. Safe travels back.

1133
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 21: Thank you, take care?

1134
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah that is uh. William went to the game in

1135
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 2: a suit. Nothing wrong with that, you scull of wild hair.

1136
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 2: Come down to the old pay Course stadium. I like

1137
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 2: that we started this segment talking about Jordan Battle and

1138
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 2: that interception of Aaron Rodgers. Well, that was also our

1139
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Guilty Windows window of opportunity. Not often Aaron Rodgers has

1140
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 2: given you gifts. DJ Turner and Jordan Battle took advantage

1141
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: that deep ball throw that Battle intercepted. That's a terrible

1142
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 2: pass from Aaron Rodgers. I mean, that's just not up

1143
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: to his standard at all. But the Guilty Windows Window

1144
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,360

Speaker 2: the United States, but there's only one store, the BMW

1235
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 2: Store where Passion Loves Company. Now there's several drives that

1236
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 2: you could choose from, but for me, the most important

1237
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 2: was the first drive out of halftime for the Bengals.

1238
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 2: So they get the touchdown drive, they finally find their

1239
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 2: rhythm and they score to make it ten to seven.

1240
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 2: They're trailing Pittsburgh by three. Then first play of the

1241
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 2: drive was that Jordan Battle interception we talked about earlier.

1242
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 2: Bengals turned that into a touchdown in three plays and

1243
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 2: take the lead fourteen to ten. Then they get another

1244
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: interception from Aaron Rodgers and have the ball right before halftime.

1245
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 2: They turn that into a field goal, So all of

1246
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: a sudden, the Bengals go from down ten to nothing

1247
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 2: to up seventeen to ten, and they get the ball

1248
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 2: coming out of halftime. So to me, immediately, the most

1249
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: important drive of the game, no matter what happens, was

1250
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 2: going to be get points in that opening drive in

1251
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 2: the second half, make it a two possession game and

1252
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 2: force Pittsburgh to chase you for the entire second half.

1253
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 2: And that's what they did. The Bengals came out and

1254
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 2: put together a fourteen play, sixty three yard, seven minute

1255
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 2: and five second drive. Now they didn't score a touchdown.

1256
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: It ended in a field goal by Evan McPherson, but

1257
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: that made the score twenty to ten, up to possessions

1258
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 2: and showed half the clock off of the third quarter.

1259
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 2: That to me is such a critical drive by this team.

1260
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 2: Started off with a five yard reception by Jamar Chase,

1261
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: then a three yard reception by Jamar Chase. On third

1262
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 2: and two, it was a five yard run by Samaj

1263
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 2: p Ryan, followed up by a seven yard run by

1264
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 2: Chase Brown, then a sixteen yard reception by Jamar Chase,

1265
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 2: then a fourteen yard reception by Jamar Chase, a three

1266
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 2: yard run by Chase Brown. Flacco then threw an incompletion,

1267
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 2: then a six yard pass to Andre Jose Vash and

1268
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:47,919
Speaker 2: then on fourth and one, fourth and one, Joe Flacco

1269
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 2: quarterback Sneak gets the two yards, then another two yards

1270
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 2: from samajp Ryan incompletion, incompletion field goal. But the Bengals

1271
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: were up to ten after taking advantage of two interceptions

1272
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 2: that they turned into touchdowns, taking advantage of what we

1273
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 2: call the middle eight, those four minutes before halftime, in

1274
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 2: the four minutes out of halftime and getting points and

1275
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 2: making things difficult on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That to me

1276
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: is the drive of the game. Brought to you by

1277
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 2: the BMW Store. They're over three hundred and fifty BMW

1278
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 2: centers in the US, but there's only one store. Finally,

1279
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 2: let's review today's Postman Law injury report, brought to you

1280
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: by Postman Law. Injured Call eight four to four Postman. Well,

1281
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: the big news prior to the game was that Trey

1282
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 2: Hendrickson not able to go. Hendrickson had an MRI. He's

1283
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 2: dealing with hip and back injuries. Ian Rapaport of NFL

1284
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 2: Network reported that the MRI came back mostly clean, but

1285
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 2: it was just too quick of a turnaround with the

1286
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 2: soreness and the pain that Trey Hendrickson was dealing with,

1287
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 2: and they're hoping that the many buy will give him

1288
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 2: enough time to be ready to go again. The New

1289
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: York Jets in the game tonight, there was really only

1290
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 2: one moment where there was an injury. DJ Turner left

1291
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 2: with muscle cramps. He did return to the game. I

1292
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 2: believe Demetrius Knight left the game momentarily went to the

1293
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 2: locker room, and then he came back in. But for

1294
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 2: the most part, the Bengals were unscathed. Tanner Hudson is

1295
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 2: dealing with a concussion that he suffered last week against

1296
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. He didn't go tonight. Shamar Stewart

1297
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: was back recovering from that ankle injury. He played most

1298
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 2: of the game tonight, So from an injury standpoint, the

1299
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 2: Bengals seemed to be pretty good. Prior to the game,

1300
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 2: they activated off of the injured reserve list guard Lucas Patrick, who,

1301
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 2: if you remember, was the opening day starting right guard.

1302
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 2: He was one of their offseason acquisitions formerly with the

1303
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 2: Packers the Saints, and was the starting right guard on

1304
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 2: opening day in Cleveland. He's been dealing with a calf injury,

1305
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 2: and he is active and back on the active roster. Unfortunately,

1306
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 2: earlier today, though, the Bengals did put Mike Gisiki, the

1307
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 2: tight end, on the injured reserve list, and he will

1308
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 2: be out for at least four weeks. There is hope

1309
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 2: that it's not a season ending injury. It's a pectoral

1310
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 2: injury that he suffered against the Green Bay Packers. So

1311
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Mike gisiki on the injured list and it will be

1312
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 2: a while for him as they wait the test. And

1313
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport reported that the MRI was maybe not as

1314
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 2: bad as they had originally suspected. Meanwhile, the biggest story

1315
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 2: is Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow was seen tonight at pay

1316
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 2: Course Stadium. He was on the sidelines in a walking

1317
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: boot and had a backwards hat on, had the headset on.

1318
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: He was talking to Jake Browning and Joe Flacco there

1319
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 2: on the bench and was at least a part of

1320
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 2: the process. Today, Ian Rappaport reported that things have gone

1321
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 2: well for Joe Burrow's rehab. He said that he's on track.

1322
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 2: He's still planning on coming back in mid December and

1323
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: has been telling people that he will come back if

1324
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: he can and if he's able and if the team

1325
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 2: is in it. And so there's been no setbacks. Everything

1326
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 2: has been going to plan with Joe Burrow and that

1327
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: turf toe injury that required surgery after that Week two

1328
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 2: loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That is your Postman law

1329
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 2: injury report. Others promise, but postman delivers. If you're injured,

1330
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 2: call eight four to four postman. That's eight four to

1331
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 2: four postman. All right, Bengals do have that many buy

1332
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 2: to heal up from the bumps and bruises and cuts

1333
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 2: and scrapes of a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Difficult

1334
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 2: AFC North game, and obviously on a short week on

1335
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: a Thursday, that is never easy to do. But the

1336
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 2: Bengals did find a way to win tonight. Let's take

1337
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 2: you back to the final few plays of the game.

1338
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 2: Let's start with after draining the clock for a little while,

1339
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 2: this is what it sounded like when Evan McPherson hit

1340
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 2: what would eventually be the game winning field goal.

1341
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 12: Here we go, a thirty six yard field goal try

1342
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 12: for the lead, with eleven seconds left in the fourth

1343
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 12: quarter and the Bengals down by one point. Money Mack

1344
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 12: is ready. He takes a deep breath, waits for the

1345
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 12: long snap back to Rico. Rico puts it down. The

1346
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 12: kick is up. It is gosh have the Bengals have

1347
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 12: a two point lead with seven seconds left on the clock.

1348
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 2: Nice. Gotta love it.

1349
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 13: Joe Flacco, Welcome to Cincinnati, my man.

1350
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco did a really good job of taking his

1351
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 2: sweet time backing up, killing a couple of extra seconds,

1352
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: and getting that down underneath ten seconds by the time

1353
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals kicked the field goal. I'm not gonna lie.

1354
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 2: I was a little bit nervous in that moment because

1355
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 2: if you've watched the NFL at all this year, you

1356
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 2: have seen a ton of blocked kicks. There have been

1357
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 2: blocked kicks everywhere across the NFL. So Higgins goes down

1358
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 2: on the slide and the Bengals are forcing the Steelers

1359
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 2: to use their time out. I thought, on third down,

1360
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 2: you should actually run a normal play, or at least

1361
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 2: your best run play, and try to score a touchdown.

1362
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 2: That way, you at least give yourself some protection from

1363
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 2: losing on a field goal and only being up too.

1364
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 2: But the Bengals decided to drain as much clock as

1365
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:22,719
Speaker 2: they could and then kick the field goal and eventually

1366
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: kick it back to Aaron Rodgers, and the other part

1367
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 2: I was nervous. Number one, you get the field goal

1368
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 2: block Number two, Aaron Rodgers is really freaking good at

1369
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 2: Hail Mary's. I was in Green Bay last week and

1370
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 2: I was at the Packers Hall of Fame, and it's

1371
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 2: really cool. It was a great experience. And you kind

1372
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 2: of turn the corner and there's already basically an Aaron

1373
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,799
Speaker 2: Rodgers room. They have his MVP Trophy from twenty eleven,

1374
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 2: they have one of his record breaking footballs in there.

1375
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 2: They've got jerseys and helmets and all this other stuff,

1376
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 2: and they have this wall that is basically dedicated to

1377
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 2: all the hail Mary's that Aaron Rodgers has completed over

1378
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 2: the course of his career. The Thursday Night famous one

1379
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 2: in Detroit a few years ago to Richard Rodgers. He

1380
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 2: did it twice in a playoff game against Arizona. Like

1381
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is the king of hail Mary's, he does

1382
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 2: it all the time. So that was also in the

1383
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 2: back of my head. I was a little nervous about that.

1384
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 2: And so Rogers had a quick completion to move the

1385
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 2: pocket and move the ball the line of scrimmage up

1386
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,799
Speaker 2: a little bit just to get them into hail mary range.

1387
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 2: This was the final play of the game.

1388
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:36,759
Speaker 12: Three defensive backs begin retreating about thirty yards down the field.

1389
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 12: Three seconds left, the Steelers sixty yards from the end zone.

1390
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 12: Rogers catches the shotgun snap. Now he'll run around, allow

1391
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 12: his receivers to get downfield, and he launches it into

1392
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 12: the end zone and it is broken up incomplete. No

1393
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 12: knocked the way by Djivy have. The Bengals have knocked

1394
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,679
Speaker 12: out the Steelers on Thursday night by the final score

1395
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:07,839
Speaker 12: of thirty three to thirty one. The AFC North gets

1396
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 12: tighter and the Bengals outlook gets brighter with a tremendous

1397
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 12: closing finish and a game winning field goal with seven

1398
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 12: seconds to go.

1399
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 2: How about that Money Max?

1400
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 13: So many heroes in this football game, offensive, defensive, and

1401
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 13: special teams when you include money Mack. All I can

1402
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 13: say is Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers two division wins,

1403
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 13: two to zero in the division. That could be a

1404
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 13: factor as the season progresses.

1405
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 2: Unfold.

1406
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 13: Bam Bam bam, Bengals win thirty three thirty one.

1407
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 2: That's great stuff from Dave Lapham and Dan Horde. The

1408
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 2: AFC North gets tighter, the Bengals outlook gets brighter. That's

1409
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 2: awesome stuff from Dan Horde. Speaking of that Bengals outlook,

1410
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 2: what's next, Well back home against the New York Jets

1411
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 2: next weekend and that is the Ring of Honor games.

1412
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 2: So Dave Lapham and Leaping Lamar Parish will be honored

1413
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 2: as they are put into the Bengals Ring of Honor

1414
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 2: that day against the Jets. Then they're back home the

1415
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 2: following week, first of three. This game tonight was the

1416
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 2: first of three straight home games for the Bengals. They'll

1417
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 2: take on the Bears on November the two. Both of

1418
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 2: those are one pm games. Then the Bengals have their

1419
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 2: bye week. Out of their bye week, they make a

1420
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 2: trip to Pittsburgh to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then it's

1421
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 2: back here in Cincinnati against the New England Patriots before

1422
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,879
Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving night trip to Baltimore to take on the Ravens.

1423
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 2: By the way, I will be here following Thanksgiving Night

1424
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 2: football in Baltimore. I'll be right here for postgame sports

1425
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 2: talk deep into the black Friday morning, looking forward to that.

1426
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 2: Bengals then follow up that many bye with a trip

1427
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 2: to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Not going to

1428
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,839
Speaker 2: be easy. And then oh, by the way, the Ravens

1429
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 2: come to Cincinnati. So that stretch of of Steelers, Patriots, Ravens,

1430
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens. Yikes. Then they are in Miami and for

1431
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 2: what right now is scheduled as a Sunday night football game.

1432
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 2: I would imagine that game gets flexed out, but that

1433
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 2: is at Miami on December the twenty first, and the

1434
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 2: Bengals wrap things up at home with two home games,

1435
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,839
Speaker 2: one against the Arizona Cardinals and one against the Cleveland Browns.

1436
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 2: The dayton times of those games as always Week seventeen
