0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Hello, and welcome to the Tri State Chevy Dealers

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 2>Postgame Sports Talk show here on seven hundred WLW and

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>ESPN fifteen thirty. My name is Austin Elmore. Happy to

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>be with you and let me be the first to

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>wish you a happy victory Friday. That's right. For the

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>first time in a month, the Bengals are back in

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>the win column, and they do so on a Thursday

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>night against their bitter rival and a Hall of Fame

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They picked

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>off Rogers twice and old Man Joe Flacco comes away

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>victorious and what they were calling the Icy Hot Bowl.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Some we're calling it the Unk Bowl, the Old Man Bowl,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want to call it. A couple of forty

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>something year old quarterbacks were lighting it up at pay

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Corpse Stadium tonight, and boy, oh boy, was that a

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>fun football game. I'm sitting there, I'm at the edge

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of my couch and I'm like leaning towards the TV screen,

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and I have this pit in my stomach. And if

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you're a Bengals fan, you know that pit that's in

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>your stomach. You know that feeling when you're like, I

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>don't feel good about this. It's not gonna end. Well

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't, and you just you can feel it coming

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>and you're just waiting for the next shoot a drop

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and you're waiting for the next gut punch. Except it

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:28.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't come. Joe Flacco kept coming, he kept driving down

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 2>the field, he kept leading the Bengals. He was not

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 2>afraid to throw the ball up. He was aggressive, He

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>got the ball out quickly, and he led this team

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>to a victory. Jamar Chase was outstanding yet again. He

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 2>set a Bengals record for receptions in a game with sixteen.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>T Higgins had one of the smartest and best plays

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you'll ever see from a wide receiver when he caught

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>a twenty eight yard pass and slid down inside the

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>ten yard line. Because he knows well as everybody else,

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 2>you can't trust the Bengals defense, and the Bengals brilliantly

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>nestled the clock down to about eleven seconds and Evan

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>McPherson kicked a game winning field goal to give the

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Bengals a thirty three to thirty one win. Cincinnati now

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>three and four on the season. They break that four

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>game losing skid. They are two and zero in the

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>AFC North and are right back in the conversation, Right

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>back in the conversation. Why well, because they play the

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Jets at home next week after the mini bye. The

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Jets are winless. Then they play the Chicago Bears at

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>home after that before the bye, and then they have

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>a chance to go into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers again.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>This is the time in the schedule where you start.

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>You gotta start getting hot, you gotta start heating up

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 2>a little bit now. Obviously Flacco was wonderful, and what

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>he's done over the course of ten days, sin say,

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>hard to believe, like legitimately hard to fathom. But also

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>we got a good report on Joe Burrow prior to

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the game today that his rehab is going well, he's

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>on schedule, he intends to come back in mid December.

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>He was on the sidelines tonight in a walking boot,

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>had the hat on, had the headset on Joe Burrow.

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Sighting Joe Burrow still possible that he comes back at

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the end of this season. And if you can keep

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 2>yourself afloat the way the AFC is shaping right now,

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>there's no reason to believe that the Bengals can't make

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>a run. Well, I take that back, there's one reason

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to believe the Bengals can't make a run, and that is,

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 2>by god, the worst defense I have seen in quite

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>some time.

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I've seen and you've seen some bad Bengals defenses over

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years. It's hard to find a

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 2>group worse than the twenty nineteen Bengals. That's still the

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>worst defense I've ever seen. Only twenty four Bengals defense

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>was pretty atrocious, and the twenty twenty five defense is

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>not much better. I mean the inability to tackle slow

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>off the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh could have run a

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>toss to the right side every play tonight and won

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the game if they wanted to. That's how slow the

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.919
<v Speaker 2>light the linebackers were. That's how bad the tackling was.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>That's how awful the defensive line was. Now, obviously Trey

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Hendrickson not playing is going to have an impact on that.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Shamar Stewart playing his first game in a few weeks

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 2>is gonna have any He's not gonna be one hundred percent.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna expect him to show up and be Trey Hendrickson.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Not going to be easy. But Barrett Carter left a

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>lot to be desired. Demetrius Knight left a lot to

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>be desired. Nobody really played well on the defense except

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>for DJ Turner. Another couple of pass breaks up for

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>DJ Turner, press passes broken up. He tried to say

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>for DJ Turner the league leader in that category, and

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals may have a budding star in DJ Turner

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>on the outside. On the opposite end of that spectrum,

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the storylines going into the game tonight. Cam

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Britt, he was a healthy scratch. He got his

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>ass benched by Zach Taylor and the Bengals coaching staff

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>because of how atrocious he has been. And Josh Newton,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Marco Wilson, dj Ivy in on the last play of

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the game, they all got a shot over Cam Taylor Britt,

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>who has put together one of the worst performances of

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a Bengal ever so far this season. So there's a

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>lot going on with this team right now as they

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>head into the quote unquote Mini by which is obviously

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 2>being off this weekend, and then getting back to work

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>ahead of the New York Jets in the Bengals Ring

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>of Honor game next weekend. I want to hear from

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>you five one three seven four nine seven thousand, if

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>you were at the game tonight, if you watched the

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>game tonight, if you listen to the game tonight, if

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>you were stuck at work and you were scrolling on

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Twitter during the game tonight, I don't care. Anybody is

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>welcome on this show at five point three seven four

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>nine seven thousand. You can also tweeted me at Audie

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Elmore a U T. Y E L M R. Now,

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say something here that might be an unpopular opinion.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 2>It might get a couple of people all riled up.

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings here, but I

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>have to say this because I believe it to be

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the truth. Zach Taylor was excellent tonight. Zach Taylor had

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>one of his best games ever. When it comes to

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>play calling. He had great feel, he had great balance,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>He kept the defense guessing. He used a lot of

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>different motions, bunch formations, quick passes, slants, took advantage of

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>man coming, took advantage of zone coverage, and ran the

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>football effectively. Did Zach Taylor? I thought he had a

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>brilliant feel for the game tonight as a play caller

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and got into a rhythm and a comfort level with

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco, and that allowed the offense to flourish. And

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 2>more than anything, they effectively ran the football. That's important.

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>When you run the football, you unlock everything else. This

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>is a huge, huge step in the right direction for

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals. Well, take a break, we'll come back and

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to your phone calls. You're listing to the

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Tri State Chevy Dealers Postgame Sports Talk Show right here

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>on ESPN fifteen thirty and seven hundred WLW. Welcome back

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.959
<v Speaker 2>into the Tri statee Chevy Dealers Postgame Sports Talk Show,

<v Speaker 2>ESPN fifteen thirty, seven hundred WLWI, Austin, Elmore. A reminder

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 2>for you on this beautiful victory Friday morning, that postgame

<v Speaker 2>door and window company where they sell the best and

<v Speaker 2>service the rest. The Bengals window might be opening again

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>with Joe Flacco leading the way. Flacco tonight thirty one

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 2>of forty seven, three hundred and forty two yards, three touchdowns.

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offensive line did a good job protecting him as well.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Just two sacks for fourteen yards. Now he got the

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>ball out quick. That's a good thing. You got to

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 2>live like that in the National Football League, especially against TJ.

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Watt and Nick Herbig and Alex Heighsmith and all those

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 2>guys that Pittsburgh has on that defensive line. Great offensive

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>game plan from the Bengals tonight, especially on a short week.

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven, four, nine,

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thirty. We have full lines right now as we

<v Speaker 2>inch towards one o'clock in the morning. Let's start in

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Cole Rain and talk to Joe. Joe, you're on postgame

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 2>sports talk. What's up?

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 4>Hey, thanks for having having me and you've got a

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 4>great show.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Man.

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Hey, listen, you could coach the Beangals.

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Brother, you could coach the Bengals with that offense with

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Higgins and Jamar Chase.

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, you can team.

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Let me tell you what what they got here is

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you got a guy and Joe Flacco who didn't have

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 4>anybody's row to. Really basic Cleveland receivers weren't that great.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 4>Now he's got somebody can throw to.

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 6>Jamar needs somebody to throw him.

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 4>The ball, and he can need somebody to throw him

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 4>the ball, and that's working. So oh no, it's working.

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 4>On a defensive end, Let's face it, Pittsburgh didn't play.

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Any better than the Bengals.

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, yeah, that's true.

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 4>And honestly, I tell the Bengals got to do is

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 4>match the other defense through the season. If they can

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 4>do that through the whole sentire season, to have Flaco

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 4>beyond point like you was tonight, I mean, that's face.

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 3>You're right. He throws the ball quick.

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 4>He's does an amazing job.

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 5>And getting getting it out quick.

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 6>He has like three seconds gone.

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 4>He's got to keep throwing that and if he does,

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I see the Banks maybe sneaking in the back door.

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 7>Man.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean tonight it being a decent Pittsburgh stewer team.

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they did, and obviously, I mean they got some

0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 2>good players on that defense. They haven't been great at

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>all this year, and I think it's it's you know,

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 2>part of the conversation in Pittsburgh is they've spend one

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty million dollars on that defense and they're

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 2>still struggling to get stops. And you're right the point

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you made in Joe thank you for the phone call,

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the point you made about the guys that Joe Flacco

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>is throwing to. I mean, he never had weapons like

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>this in Cleveland, didn't have weapons like this in Denver,

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't have weapons like this in Indianapolis. I think back

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to that twenty fifteen season when he had Steve Smith

0:11:55.040 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and Tory Smith as wide receivers in Baltimore. That had

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 2>to be like the next closest thing. And even then,

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that's that's not the same as what you got with

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Jamar Chase and T Higgins. Higgins and Chase combined for

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 2>thirty three targets tonight. Thirty three of Joe Flacco's forty

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>seven attempts went to Jamar Chase and T Higgins. That

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>is unbelievable. Let's go to Covington and talk to Liam.

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 8>What's up, Liam, I'll tell you what I am fired up, man.

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 8>It's fun to watch fun football. I'm yes, fun, It's

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 8>supposed to be fun. Yeah, I can't believe it having fun.

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 7>And I took I.

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 8>Took some kids in this game. This was their first

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 8>NFL game ever.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 8>It's like, so I had to tell them when we

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 8>kicked that settle for that field we I'm like, they're

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 8>gonna score and they think it's over. They're like, oh,

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 8>we want, we want. I'm like, no, be ready, and

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 8>we're marching down. I'm thinking, Jeremy Hill, We're gonna fumble

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 8>the ball. I'm like, I'm thinking every work Stase scenario.

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 8>GJ what tripstack Joe Flacco interception after an awesome game?

0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then none of that happened.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it doesn't feel real.

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.199
<v Speaker 8>I couldn't even accept it, Like I almost wasn't even happy.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 8>At first, I'm like, no way, this shocked, but the

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 8>joys finally thinking in an hour later and I'm just

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 8>fired up.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 9>Man.

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I love football, love I.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Love football too. And that's the thing, Liam, Like I was,

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I was having that feeling as I'm leaning into the

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 2>couch and I have that pit in my stomach of like,

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>how is this gonna go wrong? And I had this

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>brief moment of clarity of like, this is what is

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 2>so beautiful and so great about being a sports fan.

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>And if you're in the stadium, those moments are even

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 2>better because you're just surrounded by sixty thousand people all

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling the same way you are. And now you got

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>those kids hooked on football. You're out there spreading the

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 2>gospel of football. Liam, great job, they have.

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 8>A great night. Keep on the show off and show fam.

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Liam. I appreciate that. Let's go to Loveland.

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk to Brent. Brent.

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 10>What's up, Hey, how you doing, buddy.

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm fantastic. It's a victory Friday.

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 7>Brent.

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 10>Heck yeah, man, I tell you what. Look, you're right

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 10>about Taylor. Like I've seen numerous times where we put

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 10>this team for to bed and those guys, he's figured

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 10>out ways to do it. Like we're all ready run

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 10>him out of town one season after another. But they

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 10>figure it out. And you know, you got the Steelers

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 10>like spending all that money on defense, and the Singles

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 10>spend all this money on offense. Like the thing that

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 10>impressed me the most tonight and really the last couple

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 10>weeks is the offensive line. Like it's so maligned, but

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 10>they've been running the ball and they've been protecting the

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 10>quarterback and you know they're they're making it happen. And

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 10>this defense, also much maligned, just has not been able

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 10>to make the stops when it matters in the last

0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 10>few weeks. You know, not enough last week. But they

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 10>did tonight like they did tonight, and we got a

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 10>new season on our hands. You know, we're back in it.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 10>We're back in it.

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, you couldn't have said it better, Brent,

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for the phone call. You just gotta

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>find a way. You gotta find a way to win,

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's what the Bengals did. And the defense has

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody agrees the defense has a long, long, long, long,

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>long long long way to go. But they showed up tonight.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>They forced a couple of turnovers of Aaron Rodgers. They

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 2>forced a punt which I still can't believe. Mike Tomlin

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>punted on like fourth and four towards the middle of

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the field, down by a score. I still can't believe

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 2>that he punted in that moment, but he did. And

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned the running game, and to me, it's the

0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 2>key that unlocks everything. How about this statistic. This is

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 2>from Paul Dayner, Junior of the Athletic This is the

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Bengals yards per carry by game this year. Week one

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland two yards per carry, Week two against Jacksonville

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>two point eight, Week three two point five, Week four

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>three point five, Week five five point three, Week six

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 2>three point four, and tonight at one point it was

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>up over ten yards per carry and it finished like that.

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You run it like that, you're gonna be fine. Really,

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 2>if you run it more than three and a half

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>yards per carry every time, you're gonna be just fine.

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>And that's what the Bengals have got to be aiming for,

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>because when you have even the slightest threat of a run,

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 2>it forces the defense to step up, It forces them

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to bring guys up in the box, It forces more

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 2>man coverage, it forces more blitz, It plays into the

0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 2>hands of your playmakers on the outside. Even the slightest

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:05.239
<v Speaker 2>threat of a run opens up the entire offense. And

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I thought Zach Taylor did a masterful job of balancing

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that tonight. RPOs, quick game, quick slants, the mesh concept

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the game that left Jamar Chase

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and Jamar Chase wide open, nobody near him got them

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.439
<v Speaker 2>into Pittsburgh Steeler territory. What I've seen also more from

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Zach more motions, more bunch formations, things that cause havoc

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>for the defense and can create separation, huge, huge in

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 2>getting the offense going. In A tip of the cap

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>to Zach Taylor for that. Let's go to Middletown. Let's

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 2>talk to Bobby. What's up, Bobby?

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 4>Hey, are you?

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm fantastic man.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 11>So I think there were two takeaways from the game.

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 11>Chase Brown in the first couple drives had that terrible drop,

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 11>you know, probably would have had a fifteen to twenty

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.920
<v Speaker 11>yard game, but he bounced back after that quite amazing.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 11>And then I think another underrated thing was on the

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 11>third and eighteen. Maybe at the time it didn't seemed

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 11>like it was the right thing to run the ball,

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 11>but it turns out it made him waste of time

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 11>out and ended up you know, saving that because Aaron Rodgers.

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:11.880
<v Speaker 11>You don't want him on last drive with the time

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 11>out giving him a little bit of clock.

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 11>Joe Flack goat.

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Bobby, thank you. Yes, we're all whacko for Flacoh, Joe

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Flack goat. When I was in Green Bay last weekend,

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.159
<v Speaker 2>they were saying go flat Co instead of go pack go.

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, you brought up a good point. I

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of entirely forgot about all the drops Jamar. Chase

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 2>was targeted twenty three times tonight. I think he had

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like three drops and he had one that I don't

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:46.920
<v Speaker 2>know if it counts as a drop, but it was

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a one handed effort that it's not out of the

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>realm of possibility for Jamar to make that play like

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>we've seen him do that before. There was one that

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 2>hit him right in the hands that nobody could believe

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 2>that he dropped, so even you know, listen to the

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 2>postgame show Dave Lapham talking to Chase Brown afterwards, and

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Chase Brown was like, I feel like we left so

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>much out there. We left so many plays out there

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 2>that we went back, and I thought that was a

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>good point from him. Also, speaking of the drops, andre

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Yoshivash had another one and then he you know, catches

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a small pass and you know, it's a bit of

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a Bronx cheer from the Bengals crowd. And then later

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>on in the game, third quarter, big moment on a

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 2>third down, andre Yoshivas thirty nine yard reception. Again on

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful play design using Jamar Chase and t Higgins

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to draw the defense. Andre Yoshivas gets a mismatch down

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the field and Joe Flacco hits it.

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 2>That stuff right there is when you're in a rhythm

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 2>and you're in that flow state as a play caller

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>and you're going with that stuff. Like Zach Taylor was,

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Matt in Springfield. What's up, Matt, Hey,

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:01.479
<v Speaker 2>what's going on?

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 7>Man? How you do?

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm fired up? Dude. I don't know about you, but

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm fired up.

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 7>I am at a good feeling.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:07.439
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 7>Even earlier day, I was like, man, Bengals are gonna

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 7>win this tonight. Man, their backs against the wall. And

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 7>I mean Joe Slacker looked really good against the Packers

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 7>in that second half, you know, so, I mean, think

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 7>about it, he was there for five days and hopefully

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 7>get in the second half of that Packers money.

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Come on, really, I mean yeah, like the first half

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>against the Packers, it looked like a dude who'd been

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 2>there for a couple of days. And there was a couple,

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, like get your feet wet drives in this game.

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.440
<v Speaker 2>But outside of those, I guess maybe six five six

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 2>total drives, the Bengals have gotten points on almost every

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 2>other drive.

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 7>You know what's crazy, too, is the office looks a

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 7>lot better under center too. You know, instead of always

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 7>being a shotgun, the way they were under center tonight

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.199
<v Speaker 7>a lot was I mean, it was a breath of

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 7>you know, fresh air. It opened up the run lanes

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.680
<v Speaker 7>so much more. I mean, Joe Burrow's gonna have to

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 7>do that when he gets back. It can't always be shotgun. Sure,

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 7>that's why Joe Burrow's getting hit. The way is Look

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 7>how good the line blocked tonight when you were under center.

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it takes a lot of pressure off of

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 7>the line, you know, I mean, it really does. So

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.120
<v Speaker 7>that's what they're going to start doing because the run

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 7>game open up to night and when you have the

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 7>run game working, everything else works hand in hand. And yeah,

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 7>that game Flaco sewing for almost four hundred yards. I mean,

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 7>that was a fun game.

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 2>The Unk bow Man, the Huns ball man. It was

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 2>so much fun. It was like a track meet between

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 2>those two old dudes.

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was. It was definitely fun. And yeah, man,

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm happy to see Cam Pitt at brick Get bench.

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 7>Maybe he might come back and it might let a

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 7>fire under him because I mean, he was not playing

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 7>like that, you know, last year. I mean that something's

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 7>going on in his head. So hopefully this bench in

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:46.199
<v Speaker 7>might you know, reading not a fire. But DJ Turner

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 7>he's becoming a star. Dude is becoming a star. But

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 7>good stuff, man, I'm feeling pretty good. We could be

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 7>five or four going into the bye weeks. Everything works out.

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 7>Let's not lay no egg against the Jets or.

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.360
<v Speaker 2>The finger works works for me, Matt, thank you, yeah,

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Yeah. There's so much to get to between

<v Speaker 2>Sports Talk Show here on seven hundred WLW and ESPN

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:31.159
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thirty. I a Austin Elmore with you until two

0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 2>thirty this morning. On a victory Friday, following a Bengals

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty three thirty one victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>key to success as far as I'm concerned, tonight was

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the run game for the Bengals. Chase Brown eleven carries

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred and eight yards. He finally goes over

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>one hundred yards on a game this season. Samajp Rynd

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>had seven carries for thirty one yards. Joe Flacco ran

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 2>at five times for three yards, including a little scamper.

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Flacco had a little scamper that we haven't seen since

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the likes of Ryan Finley around here. I mean, the

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 2>place went absolutely bonkers when Joe Flacco late in the

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>game on a It was like second and long if

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to say second and ten and Joe Flaco

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 2>just keeps it on a zone read and runs for

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the first down. Take a listen. This is what it

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>sounded like with Dan Horde and Dave Lapham when Joe

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Flacco tucked it and ran it himself.

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 12>Flaco in the gun, two receivers out to either side.

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 12>It's a handoff, no Flaco running with the ball, then

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 12>he'll run for a first down. What a call by

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 12>Zach Taylor as he has a forty year old quarterback who.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Is not fast at all.

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 12>Take a handoff and keep it on a zone read

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 12>for a twelve yard The.

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 13>Red Sea parted for him. I mean they bit on

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 13>that run fake. Mike Tomlin's not happy about it. They

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 13>bit hard on that run fake. Everybody did. I'll tell

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 13>you what. High Smith Who high Smith? He came down

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.440
<v Speaker 13>the line of scrimmage. He was gonna tackle p Ryn

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 13>for a loss. He was all pumped up. Flacco takes

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 13>it up the field.

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Facial shades of Ryan Finley against the Pittsburgh Steelers on

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a Monday Night a few years ago. That was incredible,

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Flacco postgame talking with the Thursday Night Football

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>crew from Amazon Prime, basically said that wasn't what was

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 2>supposed to happen, Like there was another play called and

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 2>there was a miscommunication on where this guy was at

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 2>and the lineup and the play clock was running down,

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 2>and I just said, oh screw it, I'll just do it.

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And he saw the way Alex HeiG Smith crashed down

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the line of scrimmage, just pulled it and ran. I mean,

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that is incredible for a forty plus year old quarterback

0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to tuck it and run like that. That was awesome.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 2>And that play call, that drive I thought was a

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 2>really important drive in this game because Zach Taylor didn't

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>change who he had been all night long. He was

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 2>incredibly aggressive in that moment. So it was the Bengals

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>ninth drive of the game and Mike Tomlin had just

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 2>punted it back, and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, you

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>have a chance with the lead here to go put

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 2>this away, go win the game on offense. And you're

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 2>also trying to like run the clock down a little bit,

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, Milk, it as like a four minute

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 2>offense type of situation. And to Zach's credit, he didn't

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 2>just run the ball three times in punt. He put

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the ball in the hands of Joe Flacco. He trusted

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 2>him to get the ball in the hands of Jamar Chase.

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 2>That was the deep ball down the sideline to Chase

0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that he got one paw on it and wasn't able

0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to bring it in. Then it was the Flacco tuck

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and run that a couple of run plays did work.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Another incompletion. I think this was when he got sacked

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 2>on that drive as well, and it was third and eighteen.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>They handed the ball off, tried to drain some more clock,

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and then punted it back to the Steelers. That was

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the moment, That was the sequence I circled as Okay,

0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 2>they had a chance to win the game on offense,

0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't and they punted the ball back. But

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I appreciated how Zach Taylor remained aggressive and then even

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 2>later on another opportunity, Zach remained aggressive, kept throwing the

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>ball to Jamar Chase and t Higgins. I think Zach

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:37.800
<v Speaker 2>deserves a lot of credit for his game plan tonight.

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 2>And listen, I've been if you listen to my show

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 2>down the Hall on Sincy three to sixty on ESPN

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thirty, if you listened to that, and if you

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>follow me on Twitter, a couple of weeks ago, Zach

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Taylor lost me. I have long been a Zach Taylor apologist.

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I have believed in Zach Taylor. A couple of weeks

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.879
<v Speaker 2>ago he lost me, and I still think he has

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 2>a long way to go to earn me back. But

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>tonight was a good step in the right direction. Tonight

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 2>was a really, really good performance from the Bengals head coach.

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Phone lines are open at five, one, three, seven, nine,

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>fifteen thirty. Before we get to the phone lines, let

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.119

<v Speaker 2>way back to Greenville from being at the game tonight.

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 14>Scott, what's up, Hey, I just want to talk about

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 14>the fact that Joe Flacco and his I don't know

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 14>what five six out routes to Jamar Chase.

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 15>They could not stop it.

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 16>It was amazing.

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I've never seen anything like that. He was unstoppable.

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 15>I would agree with you, Austin. You know Zach, Zach

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 15>called a gutsy, gutsy game finally for once in his life.

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 15>We haven't seen that in a really, really long time.

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 15>It doesn't matter what Joe was out there.

0:28:59.000 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 3>I was.

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 15>I was really proud to uh to see uh Joe

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 15>just beat Joe and and just keeps from it to Chase.

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 15>I mean, they couldn't stop it. It was it was amazing.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 15>I don't how many games dealers being those games I've

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 15>been to and and we've been let down, and uh,

<v Speaker 15>much like you, I was biting my nails hold on

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 15>the seats for the little life of me and thinking

<v Speaker 15>that this is this is not gonna end well, but

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 15>they just kept going back to that same route and

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 15>it was. It was amazing.

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it really was. To have that type of chemistry

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and that type of timing between two guys that have

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 2>known each other for ten days, that's incredible. It is.

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 15>It really is a testament to two professionals. Yeah, and

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 15>I I think you just you have to part away.

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.320

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 15>I mean, I mean it's the squealers. Who who wants

<v Speaker 2>Safe travels man with you. Aaron Rodgers was not happy,

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 2>apparently before the season because the helmet that he's worn

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 2>for years has finally been It failed the inspection tests

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 2>in the standards for NFL helmets and so he had

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>to get a new one. And it does look like

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 2>he's wearing something out of a superhero movie. Makes his

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 2>helmet does his noggin look pretty big? All right, let's

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 2>go out to la Let's talk to Brian. What's up, Brian?

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 7>What's up?

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 12>Body?

<v Speaker 2>Dude, I'm juiced. I don't know if I'll be able

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to sleep tonight. To be honest with you, I'm fired.

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Up, absolutely jacked up. Okay, first of all, I would

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 5>be lying to you hand up when we When I

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 5>heard we got black O, I was devastated. I thought

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 5>our season was absolutely over. We were putting a statue

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 5>back there. We were gonna be screwed. And I am

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 5>eating my words as we speak.

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 2>What does all this say about Jake Browning?

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I was so okay. So I was at the

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 5>bowling it was bowling night tonight, and that's the first

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 5>thing that I said was, Man, Jake Browning must feel

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 5>horrible because this makes him look we at first when

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 5>he was when he was anointed to take over after

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 5>Joe got injured, we said, Jake Browning is the top

0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 5>thirty two quarterback in the league.

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Sure he was.

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely did not play like it, didn't even play like

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 5>a top sixty quarterback in the league. Was absolutely horrible.

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 5>I feel like he also made our O line look

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 5>even worse than it is and poor on those guys,

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 5>I mean they're not good whatsoever, but he made them

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 5>look so bad. And the fact that a forty something

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 5>year old Flaco can come in and dice up they're

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 5>not the steel curtains, but dyce up the Pittsburgh Steelers

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 5>is absolutely wild and gets my blood blowing.

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Buddy, what kind of blood was flowing when you saw

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco take off running.

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 5>Well, it was a lot of baka red bulls was flowing.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 5>But when he ran the naked it was like shout

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 5>out to little giants that annexation of Puerto Rico or

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 5>the fumble Rouski. It looked like nobody on the planet

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 5>knew what the hell was going on and they just

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 5>stood there and just in all this guy was I'm

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 5>pretty sure that he was running in slow motion and

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 5>was still able to pick up twelve yards wild. That

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 5>that fired me up. I was so happy. Often you're

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 5>a boss man. I support you the whole time. I'm

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.920

<v Speaker 5>you know you get to take over. You're doing a

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.440

<v Speaker 2>Indeed, that is Brian out in La. We still got

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:13.280
<v Speaker 2>phone calls to get to. We've got John, We've got Allen,

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 2>We've got Josh, We've got others all coming up next.

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 2>This is the Tri State Chevy Dealer's postgame sports talk

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:23.879
<v Speaker 2>show on a victory Monday on ESPN fifteen thirty and

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred WLW.

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 12>Flaco in the gun chase, one of three receivers out

0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 12>to the right, Placo is reading catches the shotgun snap

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 12>Blitz coming. Blaco throws a fade and it is called

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 12>punning inside the ten and going into a slide his

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 12>t Higgins. That's brilliant, Patty run into the end zone.

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.319
<v Speaker 12>It would have been a touchdown. We all would have

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:54.359
<v Speaker 12>been excited, but it would have left plenty of time

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 12>for Rogers to answer. By going down, he forces the

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.560
<v Speaker 12>Steelers to call another time out.

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Brilliant That was the word used by both Dan Hord

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and Al Michaels in that brilliant moment when t. Higgins

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 2>caught that deep pass and slid down to drain the clock.

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.719

<v Speaker 2>the west side?

0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 3>The West Side That Lenny's is pretty strong right now

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 3>from the time that, uh, throughout the game and instance

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 3>the game ended. So it's been pretty good.

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.320
<v Speaker 2>But what was what was the atmosphere like at the

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Paid Course Stadium for you tonight?

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh, the atmosphere was, Uh, it was very similar to

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 3>We made comments in the stand like the the playoff games,

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 3>and uh, you know, the crowd was in it and uh,

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 3>you know a lot of Bengo fans. I mean you

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 3>could see not many Steeler fans there and everybody was

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:32.040
<v Speaker 3>extremely excited.

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say on TV they talked about

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 2>how there's far fewer Steeler fans there than you normally see.

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a good thing.

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Uh, yeah, it's it's a great thing. We didn't have

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:44.439
<v Speaker 3>to see the tows and a lot of white and

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:45.439
<v Speaker 3>it was great to see.

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 16>Uh you know.

0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:48.239
<v Speaker 3>One of things I was gonna say, uh, you know,

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:51.280
<v Speaker 3>I know, uh you know, you've been a little uh

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, questioning Zach. I thought it was great. I

0:36:54.560 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 3>thought it was great that Zach was uh, you know,

0:36:57.360 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 3>aggressive throughout the game and just you're to try to

0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 3>win the game.

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm right there with you. It was aggressive from

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 2>start to finish. Mike, it sounds like you're having a

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 2>good time. I'm gonna let you go.

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Hey, hey, no, what on one quick question? How do

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 3>you think this does for the trade deadline?

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it does anything. I don't think the Bengals,

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it moved the needle for them. But

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:24.800
<v Speaker 2>they should be going after somebody on defense, uh safety,

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that'd be nice, maybe another pass rusher. Because Aaron Rodgers

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:31.520
<v Speaker 2>had all day he was he was making peanut butter

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 2>and jelly sandwiches back there all night.

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 3>He had a lot of time. But it was it

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 3>was great to see the team come up and uh,

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:41.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, make the place when they had to. So

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:44.359
<v Speaker 3>whode Austin, and thanks for everything you're doing.

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:52.600

<v Speaker 16>was a freaking fun game to watch, Yes, Kent, but

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:21.240

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:26.279
<v Speaker 2>It's starting to make me a little nervous. Here are

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:29.480
<v Speaker 2>people calling in from establishments across the country. Let's go

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to Cedarville and talk to John. John. What's up.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:36.640
<v Speaker 17>Hey, Austin.

0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.280

<v Speaker 17>Hey, how you doing?

<v Speaker 2>I'm good man.

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:42.799
<v Speaker 7>Hey.

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 17>Last game, I commented about Joe Flacco getting the taste

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.280
<v Speaker 17>of the weapons he had there.

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 7>At his leisure.

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 17>Uh huh, tonight, I think we've got to taste of

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 17>Joe Flacco. And I want to say right now that

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.959
<v Speaker 17>who Day cream sure does taste sweet.

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.759
<v Speaker 2>That the Whoday cream sure does taste sweet. Is that

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 2>what you just said?

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 7>Yes?

0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:11.600
<v Speaker 18>I did.

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.879
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I don't think i've ever heard that one.

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 3>John, Well, you know what.

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 17>Victory we've been lating on it. Yeah that, yeah, I

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 17>wonder comment on the defense. Okay, I don't know how

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 17>many games in a row the opposing team's first possession

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 17>they go down and they score. I'm curious to know

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:42.320
<v Speaker 17>was there any Did I call any blitzes?

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, it didn't seem like it didn't seem like

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 2>he called a lot. I don't know for sure. We

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 2>have to double check the stats in the morning, but

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like there were very few blitzes called. Uh,

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.320
<v Speaker 2>And I thought that that that has to change, because

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:03.800
<v Speaker 2>they just weren't getting any semblance of pressure on Rogers

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 2>at all.

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 17>Well, you had your you have your defensive down line

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:11.920
<v Speaker 17>then giving you a hundred percent and uh, if they

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:13.680
<v Speaker 17>need a little bit of help, I'm sure you can

0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:17.800
<v Speaker 17>find a safety or a corner or some a linebacker

0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 17>someone just to you know, add that extra Uh. Sure, Russia,

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 17>you get the line of scrimmage, you know, and you

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 17>got behind the line of scrimmage, and you got beyond

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 17>the line of scrimmage. Well, you don't want that offense

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 17>to penetrate beyond the line of scrimmage. If you hold

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 17>them for three downs, they kick the ball. Or if

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 17>you don't get a turnover, humble or interception or whatnot.

0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:49.280
<v Speaker 17>I mean, you got to help those down linemen sometimes,

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.320
<v Speaker 17>especially when you know they're giving you one hundred percent.

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree with you, John, And thank you for

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. I appreciate it. Yeah, I think it

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:01.759
<v Speaker 2>goes without saying. I mean, you're happy that they won.

0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's happy that they won. But getting pressure on the

0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:08.799
<v Speaker 2>quarterback is a major issue. And without Trey Hendrickson it's

0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.799
<v Speaker 2>even it's an even bigger issue. And if he were

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:13.919
<v Speaker 2>to miss time, if this back injury or this hip

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 2>injury nags and he's not able to play, I mean,

0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 2>they're in major trouble. I mean, it's just in Pittsburgh

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a very good offensive line coming into this game.

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 2>They did not have a good offensive line, and the

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Bengals really did nothing to pressure them at all. We'll

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 2>take a break, We'll come back. This is the Tri

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.800
<v Speaker 2>State Chevin Dealers postgame sports talk show on ESPN fifteen

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 2>thirty and seven hundred WLW.

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:45.759
<v Speaker 12>They play here, third down in five, the Bengals at

0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 12>their own thirty eight o'clock running two thirty five left

0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:52.440

0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 12>middle of the field.

0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Yo c Bosh with the catch.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 12>Beautiful throw by Flacco. Yos beating Darius Slay and he's

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:09.200
<v Speaker 12>tackled at the Pittsburgh twenty two. How about thirty nine

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.319
<v Speaker 12>yards on thirty five man.

0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 2>That What a throw by Flacco.

0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:18.440
<v Speaker 13>Yosi Vash is to the left side of the formation.

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 13>He's slot receiver inside of Jamar Chase just runs a

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 13>post down the middle of the football field. Joe Flaccoll

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:26.959
<v Speaker 13>puts it on him.

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 2>What a throw. Unbelievable accuracy. That was the call. Joe

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Flacco with a thirty nine yard completion to Andre Yosi Vash,

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 2>who got involved in the action after a rough couple

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 2>of games for Yoshi. He comes up big and the

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offense comes up big in a thirty three thirty

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 2>one victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's quickly look at

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the receiving numbers for tonight. Jamar cha sixteen catches for

0:43:55.880 --> 0:43:59.800
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty one yards and a touchdown along

0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:08.719
<v Speaker 2>eighteen He was targeted twenty three times. Twenty three times.

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Jamar Chase was targeted. T Higgins had six catches for

0:44:12.760 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 2>ninety six yards and a touchdown. He was targeted ten times.

0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yoshi three catches forty nine yards and four targets. Noah

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Fan four catches forty four yards. He caught all four

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 2>of his targets, including a twenty five yarder. They got

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals deep into Pittsburgh territory. Chase Brown had two

0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 2>catches for minus eight yards. Blew up a couple of

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:37.840
<v Speaker 2>spring screenplays did the Pittsburgh Steelers, and as a whole,

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:41.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty one receptions for three hundred and four two yards

0:44:41.840 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and three touchdowns were the Bengals wide receivers. Let's go

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:49.760
<v Speaker 2>back to the phones five three, seven, four, nine, seven

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:54.040
<v Speaker 2>thousand getting your reaction to the Bengals victory over the

0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's go out to Batavia and talk to

0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Alan Allen. What's up, Alan, Alan? Are you there?

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:09.279
<v Speaker 19>He can hear.

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're on the air. What's up?

0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 18>Oh wow, man, I'm sorry, I let's fall asleep. Hey

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 18>sorry man. But first off, I want to say Liam,

0:45:19.360 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 18>who caught earlier about bringing bringing the kids to the game,

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 18>that was awesome. Yeah, you know, I got to experience

0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:27.000
<v Speaker 18>that when I was younger. The other thing I want

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:30.840
<v Speaker 18>to say is last week Yoshi Vash really was a

0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.520
<v Speaker 18>disappointment and I'm a huge, huge fan of his, and

0:45:34.920 --> 0:45:38.359
<v Speaker 18>I don't want to say tonight he he came back

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:41.440
<v Speaker 18>and made it better. He still got a ways to

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 18>go in my book, but good catch on his part,

0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 18>and hope he keeps on going. So and loves for

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:49.160
<v Speaker 18>go Yoshi Vash and thanks for taking my call.

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Alan, go get some sleep, man, Thank you for

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:54.319
<v Speaker 2>the call. And yeah, Yoshi still has a long way

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to go. I was ready to start calling for Mitchell

0:45:56.440 --> 0:45:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Tinsley to maybe get a few of those snaps. And

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Yoshi had another drop a pass that certainly is catchable

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:05.400
<v Speaker 2>by his standards earlier tonight on a third and eleven

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that stalled out a Bengals drive that they ended up

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:11.319
<v Speaker 2>having to punt. And you know, I think making a

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 2>few big catches. He had a six yard catch, he

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 2>had that long thirty nine yard catch. I mean that

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:19.680
<v Speaker 2>sort of stuff right there that can give you some confidence,

0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:22.880
<v Speaker 2>and it can instill some confidence in Joe Flacco. It

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 2>can really help that relationship and get Yoshi back on track.

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 2>And so you know, a little bit goes a long way,

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:34.040
<v Speaker 2>especially for wide receivers. You just start feeding them, start

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.319
<v Speaker 2>feeding them, and the next thing you know, they're right

0:46:36.320 --> 0:46:38.320
<v Speaker 2>back to being their productive self. And I think Jamar

0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:40.680
<v Speaker 2>is a great example of that. So go out to

0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 2>coved Dale. Let's talk to Mike. What's up? Mike?

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:45.879
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Awdie, how you doing.

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm good man, what's on your mind?

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:50.360
<v Speaker 6>So I went to the game tonight.

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:50.959
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, and.

0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:57.239
<v Speaker 6>My voice is still recovering. But oh my gosh, what

0:46:57.320 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 6>a game. It seems like every time that the on

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:10.520
<v Speaker 6>offense call, heyke, all right, where's Jamar? And every time

0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:12.919
<v Speaker 6>that he threw, every time the Flaco threw the ball,

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:20.520
<v Speaker 6>there's Jamar right there. I don't, I don't. I am

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:21.560
<v Speaker 6>just overjoyed.

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:26.320
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing how it can seem so simple and yet

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:32.200
<v Speaker 2>he just it seems like he's uncoverable. Like I'm ready

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 2>to say, I think he's the best wide receiver in

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the history of the Bengals franchise. And that's saying a lot,

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:40.520
<v Speaker 2>like there's some really great ones, but I've never seen

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a receiver consistently win the way he wins body control,

0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:49.280
<v Speaker 2>hand control, strength, yards after the catch, and being able

0:47:49.320 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to do it in such a myriad of different roles.

0:47:52.680 --> 0:47:55.360
<v Speaker 2>He's moving around all over the place. Sometimes in the backfield,

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:57.280
<v Speaker 2>he's in the slot, he's in most and he's outside.

0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Like I've never seen a player like Jamar Chase. He's

0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:04.200
<v Speaker 2>so oh good, Oldy.

0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 6>I just want to say, I appreciate you and Uh

0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 6>in the role that you're doing tonight. And it's it's

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:13.480
<v Speaker 6>late night. I've had some pops.

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 16>I'm a big.

0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 6>Fan of the since he since he three sixty r

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 6>I p Tony.

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh, he's still He's still alive. He's still alive.

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:25.960
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'm happy to hear.

0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully we'll see on the Bearcats broadcast.

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it seems there. Seems like he's going to

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 2>be there.

0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:38.719
<v Speaker 6>Do we know that that's his job?

0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I believe. I saw Scott Springer report that he's going

0:48:43.560 --> 0:48:45.359
<v Speaker 2>to be doing Bearcat games for the rest of the year.

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I believe so. I mean, I don't know that for sure.

0:48:48.080 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I haven't talked to Tony about that directly, but I

0:48:50.440 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 2>would assume that that's going to happen.

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:55.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'll tell you, you and Tony get me through

0:48:56.120 --> 0:49:01.839
<v Speaker 6>every single day, and it was it's it's Uh, I've

<v Speaker 6>been nervous to call into that daily show. And I'm

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:11.960

<v Speaker 2>but thank god we have football. Let's go out to

<v Speaker 2>the west side. Let's talk to John. John is here, Hi.

0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:33.839
<v Speaker 3>John, Hey, what's going on?

0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:34.080
<v Speaker 20>Man?

0:49:34.200 --> 0:49:34.399
<v Speaker 15>Man?

0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Just out here getting it done, sitting in the dark

0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:38.080
<v Speaker 2>room talking about football. What about you?

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:39.439
<v Speaker 6>Hey?

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:41.560
<v Speaker 19>It was a lot of fun in the jungle tonight, man,

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 19>a lot of fun, great atmosphere.

0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 6>Shout out to the Steelers.

0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:47.839
<v Speaker 19>Fans that there wasn't many of them.

0:49:48.160 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 6>They were really cordial.

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:50.879
<v Speaker 16>I think it's because they're.

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:52.760
<v Speaker 19>Probably our neighbors, probably our friends.

0:49:54.040 --> 0:49:55.800
<v Speaker 6>Good crowd, great time.

0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:00.760
<v Speaker 19>I just have one one comment on any that didn't

0:50:00.760 --> 0:50:04.200
<v Speaker 19>want to pay Jamar Chase and t Higgins like they

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:08.000
<v Speaker 19>are going to be quiet tomorrow or they're just going

0:50:08.080 --> 0:50:10.040
<v Speaker 19>to celebrate and act like they didn't say it. Because

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:15.480
<v Speaker 19>those dudes are special, I mean so special. Really gets

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:18.160
<v Speaker 19>you excited for when joe when Joey B Does come back.

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:21.959
<v Speaker 19>But Flacco's great man was up in Green Bay last week.

0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 19>A lot more fun tonight, and yeah, keep it going man,

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:26.279
<v Speaker 19>big fan.

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And today, well John Houdai, thank you. I appreciate that.

0:50:30.120 --> 0:50:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I know it's funny the Bengals, you know,

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:35.880
<v Speaker 2>go through this stretch where they lose a few games

0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Burrow gets hurt and all of a sudden

0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 2>people are saying, oh, well, the Bengals never should have

0:50:41.400 --> 0:50:44.880
<v Speaker 2>paid t Higgins. They never should have done that the

0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:48.000
<v Speaker 2>way that they did. That's not necessarily the case. The

0:50:48.040 --> 0:50:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Bengals should have done a lot better job drafting and

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 2>developing offensive lineman. They should have spent more money because

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:55.799
<v Speaker 2>they had plenty of money in the offseason to be

0:50:55.840 --> 0:50:59.200
<v Speaker 2>able to to spend up to the cap more than

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:04.360
<v Speaker 2>they did. And maybe, just maybe their offensive line coach

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:06.520
<v Speaker 2>hasn't worked out the way that they expected him to.

0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:11.160
<v Speaker 2>But to act as if you can't have those two

0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:15.239
<v Speaker 2>dudes on the team, I mean, they are as good

0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:18.319
<v Speaker 2>as anybody in the NFL. And that is a hell

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of a one to two punch that you can scheme

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 2>so many different things off of. And while the offense

0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times this year has been broken and

0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of that has to do with quarterback play

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and offensive line play. You can't ignore the mismatches that

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:39.560
<v Speaker 2>those dudes create. I mean the Steelers, for example, they

0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:42.840
<v Speaker 2>went out and signed Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey and

0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Juan thorn Thornhill and Deshaun Elliott. They spend one hundred

0:51:47.400 --> 0:51:51.040
<v Speaker 2>and thirty nine million dollars on that defense for the

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 2>sole purpose of facing Jamar Chase and t Higgins twice

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 2>a year. Baltimore did something similar. Cleveland did a really

0:51:58.239 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 2>good job of this with the type of corn that

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.280
<v Speaker 2>they acquired. Now they just traded one in Greg Newsom

0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:06.239
<v Speaker 2>to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they did a really good

0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 2>job of building that defense against the Bengals. Baltimore, it

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:12.720
<v Speaker 2>hasn't worked out, but they took a safety in Malachi

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Starks with the first pick in the draft. Their first

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:17.680
<v Speaker 2>pick in the draft, they signed jy R. Alexander in

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the offseason, like teams build to try to beat the Bengals,

0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:24.520
<v Speaker 2>to prepare for the Bengals because of that's that's how

0:52:24.560 --> 0:52:29.200
<v Speaker 2>good those two guys are. And ideally it's supposed to

0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:31.960
<v Speaker 2>have a trickle down effect to the run game. And

0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:34.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what's supposed to make the offense work. And let's

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:37.840
<v Speaker 2>not forget how good this offense was a year ago

0:52:38.719 --> 0:52:41.920
<v Speaker 2>with Jamar Chase and t Higgins and Joe Burrow, Like

0:52:42.400 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 2>that's what it's supposed to look like. Tonight we are

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:48.000
<v Speaker 2>reminded of just how good those dudes are and what

0:52:48.080 --> 0:52:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that offense is supposed to look like. We'll take a break,

0:52:51.360 --> 0:52:54.520
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back. More phone calls five point three, seven four, nine,

0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:57.080
<v Speaker 2>seven thousand. We have a lot to get to still.

0:52:57.120 --> 0:52:59.520

<v Speaker 2>for the Bengals secondary Let's check on Cincinnati's defensive secondary coverage.

<v Speaker 2>Brought to you by Coversinc dot com, local health insurance

0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:58.840
<v Speaker 2>experts for over twenty years. Two interceptions, one you just

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:02.240
<v Speaker 2>heard from Jordon Battle, the other on a great play

0:54:02.360 --> 0:54:06.799
<v Speaker 2>fighting the ball away from DK Metcalf that DJ Turner made.

0:54:07.360 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 2>DJ Turner has been awesome for the last month or so.

0:54:10.160 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 2>He was awesome again tonight and did a great great

0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:23.360
<v Speaker 2>job of shutting down at times DK Metcalf and he

0:54:23.520 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 2>leads the league. DJ Turner leads the league in passes defensed,

0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:30.880
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not. Other Bengals with the pass defense

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:34.319
<v Speaker 2>outside of Battle and Turner, well, Geno Stone, believe it

0:54:34.400 --> 0:54:36.720
<v Speaker 2>or not, had one. He doesn't usually find himself anywhere

0:54:36.760 --> 0:54:40.320
<v Speaker 2>near the football. Logan Wilson had a great play diving

0:54:40.360 --> 0:54:43.160
<v Speaker 2>to his left and breaking up a pass and DJ

0:54:43.320 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Ivy at the very end that hail Mary by Aaron Rodgers,

0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:50.719

0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals secondary is what happened prior to the game tonight.

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Cam Taylor Britt was a healthy scratch. He was benched.

0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:12.719
<v Speaker 2>He did not play, He was not active. He was

0:55:12.800 --> 0:55:16.280
<v Speaker 2>on the sidelines, big chain around his neck, big bright

0:55:16.360 --> 0:55:20.640
<v Speaker 2>orange sunglasses, and apparently he was out of the locker

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 2>room relatively quickly. Did not stick around to celebrate much

0:55:24.200 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 2>with his teammates after the game. Cam Taylor Britt certainly

0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:32.359
<v Speaker 2>going through something right now and not performing well by

0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:35.239
<v Speaker 2>any stretch of the imagination, and the Bengals have seen

0:55:35.360 --> 0:55:38.120
<v Speaker 2>enough not even giving him a shot, which is kind

0:55:38.120 --> 0:55:41.799
<v Speaker 2>of amazing. But that's our secondary coverage. Let's go back

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:44.560
<v Speaker 2>to the phones. Let's go to Jeff in Owenton.

0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:50.279
<v Speaker 9>What's up, Jeff, Hey, it was actually really a whole

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:53.040
<v Speaker 9>lot of fun to watch forty year old Joe Flacco

0:55:55.960 --> 0:55:57.919
<v Speaker 9>hands real weapons which he's never had.

0:55:59.080 --> 0:56:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean it's really never been that that

0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:06.839
<v Speaker 2>good of a group of guys around him in his

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:07.880
<v Speaker 2>entire career.

0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:11.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, not even close. I mean when they won the

0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 9>Super Bowl, he didn't have anything like weapons like that,

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:16.600
<v Speaker 9>and he didn't. He didn't have an O line is

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:19.560
<v Speaker 9>as good as the Bengals O line, which is terrible.

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but he didn't even have that then.

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:24.399
<v Speaker 9>So he's been through it, and I hope he can

0:56:25.120 --> 0:56:27.440
<v Speaker 9>convey a few things he's learned over the years to

0:56:27.480 --> 0:56:31.080
<v Speaker 9>it or other Joe, because Joe tries to make things

0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:33.839
<v Speaker 9>happen when there's nothing there and that's why he spends

0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:40.799
<v Speaker 9>so many games in the eye. Yeah, No, you got

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:42.279
<v Speaker 9>to learn when to chuck the ball away.

0:56:42.800 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:44.799
<v Speaker 2>I think he can be a little bit better at that.

0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:47.200
<v Speaker 2>But also I don't want to take away from what

0:56:47.320 --> 0:56:50.600
<v Speaker 2>makes Joe Burrow great. I mean, what he did last

0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:53.960
<v Speaker 2>year single handedly keeping this franchise afloat was a lot

0:56:53.960 --> 0:56:56.680
<v Speaker 2>of because you know, he was out there making plays happen.

0:56:57.160 --> 0:56:59.000
<v Speaker 9>You got to balance it. You got to balance it

0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:04.120
<v Speaker 9>where he's getting hurt every season. That's been pretty tough

0:57:04.160 --> 0:57:08.319
<v Speaker 9>to watch. Yeah, I'd like to the Bengals call in

0:57:08.360 --> 0:57:14.040
<v Speaker 9>maybe another outside group to draft for them, because they're

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:19.120
<v Speaker 9>totally I've drafted right before they do, and nine of

0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:22.560
<v Speaker 9>the last eleven years, my players that I drafted have

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.520
<v Speaker 9>ended up better than the players they draft. That shouldn't happen.

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:29.640
<v Speaker 9>That should never happen. There shouldn't be fans out drafting them.

0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:32.720
<v Speaker 9>They have a lot more resources than I have. Yeah,

0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:34.600
<v Speaker 9>so that's very annoying.

0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hear you, Jeff, And it's a huge part

0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of the the questions of this franchise moving forward, and

0:57:40.760 --> 0:57:42.680
<v Speaker 2>thank you for the phone calls, is they have to

0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:46.360
<v Speaker 2>be better at drafting. They just absolutely have to be. Uh.

0:57:46.400 --> 0:57:50.440
<v Speaker 2>What we're not gonna do is create this narrative that

0:57:50.560 --> 0:57:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow and you know, Joe Burrow

0:57:53.840 --> 0:57:56.760
<v Speaker 2>is part of the problem that that is complete bs

0:57:57.160 --> 0:57:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and I know that we're gonna have clowns like Bill Cunningham.

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:01.520
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna come on this show or come on the

0:58:01.560 --> 0:58:04.000
<v Speaker 2>station in a few hours and talk about how there's

0:58:04.040 --> 0:58:07.280
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback controversy and Joe Flacco's better than Joe Burrow

0:58:07.320 --> 0:58:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and blah blah blah blah blah. We're not gonna be

0:58:09.400 --> 0:58:11.480
<v Speaker 2>doing that. If you know anything about football, you know

0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that Joe Flacco played great tonight. Joe Flacco's had a

0:58:14.040 --> 0:58:18.160
<v Speaker 2>really good career. Joe Flacco can't carry Joe Burrow's jockstrap.

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 2>We know that, all right, not even close? Are there

0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 2>things Burrow could be better at Yes, that was a

0:58:24.040 --> 0:58:26.080
<v Speaker 2>freak injury. What happened to his wrist, it was a

0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:29.160
<v Speaker 2>freak injury. What happened to his toe? Those have nothing

0:58:29.200 --> 0:58:32.959
<v Speaker 2>to do with him trying to escape the pocket. The Bengals,

0:58:33.280 --> 0:58:36.480
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, bear the responsibility of what's happened

0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:39.160
<v Speaker 2>to Joe Burrow. They started a guy named Michael Jordan,

0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:42.520
<v Speaker 2>who was awful. That was blown up so bad in

0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Washington his rookie year, Joe Burrow had have every ligament

0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:50.040
<v Speaker 2>in his knee rearranged. That's not his fault. Those major injuries,

0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:52.320
<v Speaker 2>those freak injuries, really are not his fault. Now, the

0:58:52.360 --> 0:58:56.400
<v Speaker 2>calf injury, okay, the appendicitis that happens to people all

0:58:56.440 --> 0:59:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the time. It's honestly been bad luck more than anything else.

0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to William and Lexington. What's up William?

0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:04.720
<v Speaker 6>Hey, how you doing?

0:59:04.760 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 21>Thanks for making my calling.

0:59:08.280 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 15>Good Good.

0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:11.880
<v Speaker 21>I'm on the way back to Lexington. Actually I'm I'm

0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:17.080
<v Speaker 21>staying safe, but seventy five south. I'll try to be brief.

0:59:17.120 --> 0:59:20.040
<v Speaker 21>But I decided to buy tickets today while I was

0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:24.040
<v Speaker 21>at work. Uh, just just like this afternoon, and I

0:59:24.160 --> 0:59:27.040
<v Speaker 21>met a friend that lives in downtown Cincy that I

0:59:27.040 --> 0:59:30.880
<v Speaker 21>went to college with. I ended up driving directly from

0:59:30.960 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 21>work to the game, and I wore my suits to

0:59:33.440 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 21>the game unintentionally, but I just the atmosphere was amazing,

0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:42.600
<v Speaker 21>Like I just couldn't Like I thought the Bengals.

0:59:42.280 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 16>Are gonna win.

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:46.080
<v Speaker 21>I will admit I had some money on them, but

0:59:46.240 --> 0:59:50.080
<v Speaker 21>that's neither here nor there. But like, if you're I'll

0:59:50.080 --> 0:59:52.520
<v Speaker 21>put it this way. I'm kind of a bandwagoner. I'm

0:59:52.520 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 21>from Western Kentucky, but I like the Bengals, and especially

0:59:55.960 --> 0:59:58.920
<v Speaker 21>since Burrel's been around, they're so fun to watch. But man,

0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:01.120
<v Speaker 21>if you're a lifelong Bengals fan, you got to love

1:00:01.160 --> 1:00:02.880
<v Speaker 21>what you got right now. Like you have a fighting

1:00:02.960 --> 1:00:04.080
<v Speaker 21>chance to win the division.

1:00:04.320 --> 1:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's all you can ask for. Two and

1:00:07.200 --> 1:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>zero in the AFC North. You still play the Browns

1:00:10.040 --> 1:00:12.280
<v Speaker 2>again in week eighteen, and who knows is gonna be

1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback for them that day. Baltimore does not look

1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:18.240
<v Speaker 2>like a tough team right now. I mean the way

1:00:18.280 --> 1:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>that their defense is playing, like it's still right in

1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>front of you, like the path is there.

1:00:23.840 --> 1:00:27.080
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, yeah, it's it's exciting. So I might I might

1:00:27.120 --> 1:00:28.840
<v Speaker 21>mess around and come up for another game in no.

1:00:29.600 --> 1:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me ask you, William, what about today made

1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you just kind of get this you know this hair

1:00:34.760 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to to say let's go.

1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:39.960
<v Speaker 21>Well, I should have said it earlier, but I started

1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:43.680
<v Speaker 21>mister Joe Elite Placo on my fantasy team, and boy

1:00:43.720 --> 1:00:46.360
<v Speaker 21>does that work out. Uh, But I just had a

1:00:46.400 --> 1:00:48.240
<v Speaker 21>wild here about it. I was like, I don't like

1:00:48.280 --> 1:00:52.400
<v Speaker 21>the Steelers, Like they're overrated, to be frank, I mean

1:00:52.440 --> 1:00:55.120
<v Speaker 21>they're not. They're gonna probably make the playoffs, but like

1:00:56.040 --> 1:00:58.800
<v Speaker 21>they're nothing to write home about, Like they're a beatable team.

1:00:58.880 --> 1:01:01.880
<v Speaker 21>And the thing that impressed me about the Bengals tonight

1:01:01.960 --> 1:01:05.320
<v Speaker 21>is they had they had the running game to offset

1:01:05.400 --> 1:01:07.720
<v Speaker 21>a little bit to keep, yeah, to keep the Steelers

1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:10.840
<v Speaker 21>off balance. So if they can keep that, like they

1:01:10.840 --> 1:01:12.640
<v Speaker 21>got to improve the pass rush. But if they can,

1:01:12.840 --> 1:01:15.160
<v Speaker 21>if they all turn the ball over and they're a

1:01:15.160 --> 1:01:18.200
<v Speaker 21>little balanced, they can win games for sure.

1:01:18.560 --> 1:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I'm right there with you, William. Thank you for

1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Safe travels back.

1:01:23.160 --> 1:01:23.880
<v Speaker 21>Thank you, take care?

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that is uh. William went to the game in

1:01:26.240 --> 1:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>a suit. Nothing wrong with that, you scull of wild hair.

1:01:29.720 --> 1:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Come down to the old pay Course stadium. I like

1:01:32.120 --> 1:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>that we started this segment talking about Jordan Battle and

1:01:36.240 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that interception of Aaron Rodgers. Well, that was also our

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Guilty Windows window of opportunity. Not often Aaron Rodgers has

1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>given you gifts. DJ Turner and Jordan Battle took advantage

1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>that deep ball throw that Battle intercepted. That's a terrible

1:01:50.080 --> 1:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>pass from Aaron Rodgers. I mean, that's just not up

1:01:52.720 --> 1:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>to his standard at all. But the Guilty Windows Window

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.960
<v Speaker 20>packo and I had a feeling. Remember I told you

1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:44.760
<v Speaker 20>yesterday about the game. Yeah, I thought they would. I

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:46.720
<v Speaker 20>was pretty close. I was closed.

1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>You said twenty four twenty seven to twenty four is

1:04:50.040 --> 1:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>what you said.

1:04:51.480 --> 1:04:52.320
<v Speaker 20>That's what I said.

1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:52.720

1:04:58.680 --> 1:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that you hate the most? Dick?

1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:06.360
<v Speaker 20>Yes, yes, well yeah, I remember when I was in college.

1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:09.560
<v Speaker 20>I know the Mangos pulled off one I think it

1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 20>was in nineteen seventy nine. They were like and I

1:05:12.360 --> 1:05:15.560
<v Speaker 20>remember Kenny Anderson beat them, but they never had much luck.

1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:19.920
<v Speaker 20>But to beat the Steelers is an accomplishment for Zach Taylor,

1:05:20.000 --> 1:05:25.000
<v Speaker 20>and on a national TV audience often, yeah.

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, always is that those winds are a little bit sweeter,

1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I think.

1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:30.080

<v Speaker 20>some classes there and you know, history and music, you.

1:05:46.320 --> 1:05:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Know, wonderful. Well, I didn't know that. I learned something

1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:49.919
<v Speaker 2>about you today, Dick.

1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:53.720
<v Speaker 20>Well, hey, did Dave called? Dave from Dayton?

1:05:53.840 --> 1:05:54.400
<v Speaker 15>Is he called?

1:05:54.520 --> 1:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>He hadn't called in tonight?

1:05:55.800 --> 1:05:58.960
<v Speaker 20>No, Oh, I haven't seen him for a while. But

1:06:01.800 --> 1:06:04.280
<v Speaker 20>that day when he came, it was I was such

1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:06.600
<v Speaker 20>a pleasure to meet you guys. You know, what a

1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:11.360
<v Speaker 20>beautiful state, what a beautiful studio. Yeah, maybe I'll see

1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:12.640
<v Speaker 20>you again, Okay, yeah, all.

1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, we'll talk to you again soon, Dick. Thank you. Yeah,

1:06:16.560 --> 1:06:19.919
<v Speaker 2>that is Dick from Dayton. Always loved talking to Dick Man.

1:06:20.520 --> 1:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>He's uh, he's something else. All right, let's highlight the

1:06:23.880 --> 1:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>drive of the game brought to you by the BMW Store.

1:06:27.080 --> 1:06:29.960
<v Speaker 2>There are over three hundred and fifty BMW centers in

1:06:30.000 --> 1:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the United States, but there's only one store, the BMW

1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Store where Passion Loves Company. Now there's several drives that

1:06:38.720 --> 1:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>you could choose from, but for me, the most important

1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>was the first drive out of halftime for the Bengals.

1:06:46.480 --> 1:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So they get the touchdown drive, they finally find their

1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>rhythm and they score to make it ten to seven.

1:06:54.080 --> 1:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>They're trailing Pittsburgh by three. Then first play of the

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:02.720
<v Speaker 2>drive was that Jordan Battle interception we talked about earlier.

1:07:03.240 --> 1:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Bengals turned that into a touchdown in three plays and

1:07:07.800 --> 1:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>take the lead fourteen to ten. Then they get another

1:07:12.560 --> 1:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>interception from Aaron Rodgers and have the ball right before halftime.

1:07:18.400 --> 1:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>They turn that into a field goal, So all of

1:07:22.000 --> 1:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, the Bengals go from down ten to nothing

1:07:25.360 --> 1:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>to up seventeen to ten, and they get the ball

1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>coming out of halftime. So to me, immediately, the most

1:07:33.480 --> 1:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>important drive of the game, no matter what happens, was

1:07:36.920 --> 1:07:41.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be get points in that opening drive in

1:07:41.240 --> 1:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>the second half, make it a two possession game and

1:07:44.640 --> 1:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>force Pittsburgh to chase you for the entire second half.

1:07:48.120 --> 1:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's what they did. The Bengals came out and

1:07:50.880 --> 1:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>put together a fourteen play, sixty three yard, seven minute

1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>and five second drive. Now they didn't score a touchdown.

1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>It ended in a field goal by Evan McPherson, but

1:08:03.600 --> 1:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>that made the score twenty to ten, up to possessions

1:08:06.840 --> 1:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and showed half the clock off of the third quarter.

1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:13.640
<v Speaker 2>That to me is such a critical drive by this team.

1:08:14.480 --> 1:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Started off with a five yard reception by Jamar Chase,

1:08:18.040 --> 1:08:21.400
<v Speaker 2>then a three yard reception by Jamar Chase. On third

1:08:21.400 --> 1:08:23.719
<v Speaker 2>and two, it was a five yard run by Samaj

1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>p Ryan, followed up by a seven yard run by

1:08:26.960 --> 1:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Chase Brown, then a sixteen yard reception by Jamar Chase,

1:08:31.080 --> 1:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>then a fourteen yard reception by Jamar Chase, a three

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>yard run by Chase Brown. Flacco then threw an incompletion,

1:08:39.280 --> 1:08:42.479
<v Speaker 2>then a six yard pass to Andre Jose Vash and

1:08:42.479 --> 1:08:47.919
<v Speaker 2>then on fourth and one, fourth and one, Joe Flacco

1:08:48.320 --> 1:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>quarterback Sneak gets the two yards, then another two yards

1:08:52.920 --> 1:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>from samajp Ryan incompletion, incompletion field goal. But the Bengals

1:08:58.600 --> 1:09:04.280
<v Speaker 2>were up to ten after taking advantage of two interceptions

1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>that they turned into touchdowns, taking advantage of what we

1:09:07.200 --> 1:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>call the middle eight, those four minutes before halftime, in

1:09:10.479 --> 1:09:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the four minutes out of halftime and getting points and

1:09:13.760 --> 1:09:17.400
<v Speaker 2>making things difficult on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That to me

1:09:17.760 --> 1:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>is the drive of the game. Brought to you by

1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the BMW Store. They're over three hundred and fifty BMW

1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>centers in the US, but there's only one store. Finally,

1:09:27.360 --> 1:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>let's review today's Postman Law injury report, brought to you

1:09:30.880 --> 1:09:35.519
<v Speaker 2>by Postman Law. Injured Call eight four to four Postman. Well,

1:09:35.560 --> 1:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the big news prior to the game was that Trey

1:09:39.360 --> 1:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Hendrickson not able to go. Hendrickson had an MRI. He's

1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>dealing with hip and back injuries. Ian Rapaport of NFL

1:09:47.040 --> 1:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Network reported that the MRI came back mostly clean, but

1:09:50.880 --> 1:09:53.040
<v Speaker 2>it was just too quick of a turnaround with the

1:09:53.040 --> 1:09:55.519
<v Speaker 2>soreness and the pain that Trey Hendrickson was dealing with,

1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and they're hoping that the many buy will give him

1:09:57.960 --> 1:10:00.439
<v Speaker 2>enough time to be ready to go again. The New

1:10:00.520 --> 1:10:03.479
<v Speaker 2>York Jets in the game tonight, there was really only

1:10:03.520 --> 1:10:06.280
<v Speaker 2>one moment where there was an injury. DJ Turner left

1:10:06.280 --> 1:10:09.479
<v Speaker 2>with muscle cramps. He did return to the game. I

1:10:09.479 --> 1:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>believe Demetrius Knight left the game momentarily went to the

1:10:12.760 --> 1:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>locker room, and then he came back in. But for

1:10:15.240 --> 1:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the most part, the Bengals were unscathed. Tanner Hudson is

1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>dealing with a concussion that he suffered last week against

1:10:21.840 --> 1:10:25.559
<v Speaker 2>the Green Bay Packers. He didn't go tonight. Shamar Stewart

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>was back recovering from that ankle injury. He played most

1:10:28.360 --> 1:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>of the game tonight, So from an injury standpoint, the

1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Bengals seemed to be pretty good. Prior to the game,

1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:38.479
<v Speaker 2>they activated off of the injured reserve list guard Lucas Patrick, who,

1:10:38.520 --> 1:10:41.479
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, was the opening day starting right guard.

1:10:41.520 --> 1:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>He was one of their offseason acquisitions formerly with the

1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Packers the Saints, and was the starting right guard on

1:10:47.680 --> 1:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>opening day in Cleveland. He's been dealing with a calf injury,

1:10:51.280 --> 1:10:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and he is active and back on the active roster. Unfortunately,

1:10:55.400 --> 1:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>earlier today, though, the Bengals did put Mike Gisiki, the

1:10:58.240 --> 1:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>tight end, on the injured reserve list, and he will

1:11:02.240 --> 1:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>be out for at least four weeks. There is hope

1:11:05.200 --> 1:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>that it's not a season ending injury. It's a pectoral

1:11:07.920 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>injury that he suffered against the Green Bay Packers. So

1:11:11.880 --> 1:11:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Mike gisiki on the injured list and it will be

1:11:15.240 --> 1:11:17.439
<v Speaker 2>a while for him as they wait the test. And

1:11:17.479 --> 1:11:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Ian Rappaport reported that the MRI was maybe not as

1:11:21.439 --> 1:11:25.719
<v Speaker 2>bad as they had originally suspected. Meanwhile, the biggest story

1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>is Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow was seen tonight at pay

1:11:28.880 --> 1:11:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Course Stadium. He was on the sidelines in a walking

1:11:32.000 --> 1:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>boot and had a backwards hat on, had the headset on.

1:11:34.439 --> 1:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>He was talking to Jake Browning and Joe Flacco there

1:11:36.800 --> 1:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>on the bench and was at least a part of

1:11:39.640 --> 1:11:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the process. Today, Ian Rappaport reported that things have gone

1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:47.160
<v Speaker 2>well for Joe Burrow's rehab. He said that he's on track.

1:11:47.240 --> 1:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>He's still planning on coming back in mid December and

1:11:50.640 --> 1:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>has been telling people that he will come back if

1:11:53.160 --> 1:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>he can and if he's able and if the team

1:11:55.000 --> 1:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>is in it. And so there's been no setbacks. Everything

1:11:59.360 --> 1:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>has been going to plan with Joe Burrow and that

1:12:02.479 --> 1:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>turf toe injury that required surgery after that Week two

1:12:06.360 --> 1:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That is your Postman law

1:12:12.120 --> 1:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>injury report. Others promise, but postman delivers. If you're injured,

1:12:17.400 --> 1:12:20.519
<v Speaker 2>call eight four to four postman. That's eight four to

1:12:20.520 --> 1:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>four postman. All right, Bengals do have that many buy

1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to heal up from the bumps and bruises and cuts

1:12:26.920 --> 1:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and scrapes of a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Difficult

1:12:31.200 --> 1:12:35.439
<v Speaker 2>AFC North game, and obviously on a short week on

1:12:35.479 --> 1:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a Thursday, that is never easy to do. But the

1:12:38.120 --> 1:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Bengals did find a way to win tonight. Let's take

1:12:41.560 --> 1:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you back to the final few plays of the game.

1:12:45.600 --> 1:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with after draining the clock for a little while,

1:12:48.800 --> 1:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>this is what it sounded like when Evan McPherson hit

1:12:52.400 --> 1:12:55.719
<v Speaker 2>what would eventually be the game winning field goal.

1:12:56.080 --> 1:12:59.120
<v Speaker 12>Here we go, a thirty six yard field goal try

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:02.599
<v Speaker 12>for the lead, with eleven seconds left in the fourth

1:13:02.640 --> 1:13:05.559
<v Speaker 12>quarter and the Bengals down by one point. Money Mack

1:13:05.680 --> 1:13:08.320
<v Speaker 12>is ready. He takes a deep breath, waits for the

1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:11.360
<v Speaker 12>long snap back to Rico. Rico puts it down. The

1:13:11.479 --> 1:13:16.960
<v Speaker 12>kick is up. It is gosh have the Bengals have

1:13:17.120 --> 1:13:21.400
<v Speaker 12>a two point lead with seven seconds left on the clock.

1:13:21.840 --> 1:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Nice. Gotta love it.

1:13:25.960 --> 1:13:28.800
<v Speaker 13>Joe Flacco, Welcome to Cincinnati, my man.

1:13:29.840 --> 1:13:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco did a really good job of taking his

1:13:33.600 --> 1:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>sweet time backing up, killing a couple of extra seconds,

1:13:37.560 --> 1:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>and getting that down underneath ten seconds by the time

1:13:41.080 --> 1:13:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals kicked the field goal. I'm not gonna lie.

1:13:43.200 --> 1:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I was a little bit nervous in that moment because

1:13:46.320 --> 1:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>if you've watched the NFL at all this year, you

1:13:48.960 --> 1:13:52.599
<v Speaker 2>have seen a ton of blocked kicks. There have been

1:13:52.640 --> 1:13:57.120
<v Speaker 2>blocked kicks everywhere across the NFL. So Higgins goes down

1:13:57.120 --> 1:13:59.160
<v Speaker 2>on the slide and the Bengals are forcing the Steelers

1:13:59.160 --> 1:14:02.439
<v Speaker 2>to use their time out. I thought, on third down,

1:14:02.479 --> 1:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you should actually run a normal play, or at least

1:14:05.120 --> 1:14:07.760
<v Speaker 2>your best run play, and try to score a touchdown.

1:14:08.360 --> 1:14:13.240
<v Speaker 2>That way, you at least give yourself some protection from

1:14:13.400 --> 1:14:16.160
<v Speaker 2>losing on a field goal and only being up too.

1:14:16.800 --> 1:14:19.080
<v Speaker 2>But the Bengals decided to drain as much clock as

1:14:19.080 --> 1:14:22.719
<v Speaker 2>they could and then kick the field goal and eventually

1:14:22.880 --> 1:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>kick it back to Aaron Rodgers, and the other part

1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I was nervous. Number one, you get the field goal

1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>block Number two, Aaron Rodgers is really freaking good at

1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Hail Mary's. I was in Green Bay last week and

1:14:35.000 --> 1:14:36.559
<v Speaker 2>I was at the Packers Hall of Fame, and it's

1:14:36.600 --> 1:14:39.639
<v Speaker 2>really cool. It was a great experience. And you kind

1:14:39.640 --> 1:14:42.280
<v Speaker 2>of turn the corner and there's already basically an Aaron

1:14:42.360 --> 1:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers room. They have his MVP Trophy from twenty eleven,

1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:48.800
<v Speaker 2>they have one of his record breaking footballs in there.

1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:51.559
<v Speaker 2>They've got jerseys and helmets and all this other stuff,

1:14:52.000 --> 1:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and they have this wall that is basically dedicated to

1:14:55.479 --> 1:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>all the hail Mary's that Aaron Rodgers has completed over

1:14:59.800 --> 1:15:03.479
<v Speaker 2>the course of his career. The Thursday Night famous one

1:15:03.520 --> 1:15:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in Detroit a few years ago to Richard Rodgers. He

1:15:06.040 --> 1:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>did it twice in a playoff game against Arizona. Like

1:15:09.720 --> 1:15:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers is the king of hail Mary's, he does

1:15:12.560 --> 1:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>it all the time. So that was also in the

1:15:14.280 --> 1:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>back of my head. I was a little nervous about that.

1:15:17.479 --> 1:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>And so Rogers had a quick completion to move the

1:15:23.520 --> 1:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>pocket and move the ball the line of scrimmage up

1:15:26.000 --> 1:15:28.799
<v Speaker 2>a little bit just to get them into hail mary range.

1:15:29.360 --> 1:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>This was the final play of the game.

1:15:32.439 --> 1:15:36.759
<v Speaker 12>Three defensive backs begin retreating about thirty yards down the field.

1:15:36.800 --> 1:15:40.800
<v Speaker 12>Three seconds left, the Steelers sixty yards from the end zone.

1:15:41.200 --> 1:15:45.120
<v Speaker 12>Rogers catches the shotgun snap. Now he'll run around, allow

1:15:45.200 --> 1:15:48.479
<v Speaker 12>his receivers to get downfield, and he launches it into

1:15:48.560 --> 1:15:52.920
<v Speaker 12>the end zone and it is broken up incomplete. No

1:15:53.160 --> 1:15:57.759
<v Speaker 12>knocked the way by Djivy have. The Bengals have knocked

1:15:57.760 --> 1:16:01.679
<v Speaker 12>out the Steelers on Thursday night by the final score

1:16:02.120 --> 1:16:07.839
<v Speaker 12>of thirty three to thirty one. The AFC North gets

1:16:07.960 --> 1:16:13.720
<v Speaker 12>tighter and the Bengals outlook gets brighter with a tremendous

1:16:14.320 --> 1:16:18.200
<v Speaker 12>closing finish and a game winning field goal with seven

1:16:18.280 --> 1:16:19.120
<v Speaker 12>seconds to go.

1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>How about that Money Max?

1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:25.040
<v Speaker 13>So many heroes in this football game, offensive, defensive, and

1:16:25.200 --> 1:16:28.479
<v Speaker 13>special teams when you include money Mack. All I can

1:16:28.560 --> 1:16:33.439
<v Speaker 13>say is Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers two division wins,

1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:36.200
<v Speaker 13>two to zero in the division. That could be a

1:16:36.240 --> 1:16:38.040
<v Speaker 13>factor as the season progresses.

1:16:38.200 --> 1:16:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Unfold.

1:16:39.160 --> 1:16:44.679
<v Speaker 13>Bam Bam bam, Bengals win thirty three thirty one.

1:16:45.439 --> 1:16:49.040
<v Speaker 2>That's great stuff from Dave Lapham and Dan Horde. The

1:16:49.120 --> 1:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>AFC North gets tighter, the Bengals outlook gets brighter. That's

1:16:53.840 --> 1:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>awesome stuff from Dan Horde. Speaking of that Bengals outlook,

1:16:58.080 --> 1:17:01.719
<v Speaker 2>what's next, Well back home against the New York Jets

1:17:01.840 --> 1:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>next weekend and that is the Ring of Honor games.

1:17:05.280 --> 1:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>So Dave Lapham and Leaping Lamar Parish will be honored

1:17:08.280 --> 1:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>as they are put into the Bengals Ring of Honor

1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:12.439
<v Speaker 2>that day against the Jets. Then they're back home the

1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:15.320
<v Speaker 2>following week, first of three. This game tonight was the

1:17:15.320 --> 1:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>first of three straight home games for the Bengals. They'll

1:17:18.040 --> 1:17:20.519
<v Speaker 2>take on the Bears on November the two. Both of

1:17:20.560 --> 1:17:23.800
<v Speaker 2>those are one pm games. Then the Bengals have their

1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:26.360
<v Speaker 2>bye week. Out of their bye week, they make a

1:17:26.400 --> 1:17:29.880
<v Speaker 2>trip to Pittsburgh to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then it's

1:17:29.920 --> 1:17:33.639
<v Speaker 2>back here in Cincinnati against the New England Patriots before

1:17:33.680 --> 1:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>a Thanksgiving night trip to Baltimore to take on the Ravens.

1:17:38.360 --> 1:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I will be here following Thanksgiving Night

1:17:41.760 --> 1:17:45.719
<v Speaker 2>football in Baltimore. I'll be right here for postgame sports

1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:48.640
<v Speaker 2>talk deep into the black Friday morning, looking forward to that.

1:17:49.120 --> 1:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Bengals then follow up that many bye with a trip

1:17:51.880 --> 1:17:54.320
<v Speaker 2>to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Not going to

1:17:54.400 --> 1:17:56.839
<v Speaker 2>be easy. And then oh, by the way, the Ravens

1:17:56.840 --> 1:18:01.120
<v Speaker 2>come to Cincinnati. So that stretch of of Steelers, Patriots, Ravens,

1:18:01.160 --> 1:18:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Bill's Ravens. Yikes. Then they are in Miami and for

1:18:05.720 --> 1:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>what right now is scheduled as a Sunday night football game.

1:18:09.040 --> 1:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that game gets flexed out, but that

1:18:13.080 --> 1:18:15.800
<v Speaker 2>is at Miami on December the twenty first, and the

1:18:15.800 --> 1:18:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Bengals wrap things up at home with two home games,

1:18:18.640 --> 1:18:22.839
<v Speaker 2>one against the Arizona Cardinals and one against the Cleveland Browns.

1:18:22.880 --> 1:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>The dayton times of those games as always Week seventeen

1:18:26.280 --> 1:18:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and eighteen in the NFL are t b D. All Right,

1:18:31.160 --> 1:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>that does it for me. I really appreciate you listening.
