00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Is Tony Pike Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: It's our two Welcome in Sincy three sixty ESPN fifteen

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. We had the opportunity on Thursdays

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: during the NFL season to talk to our guy, John

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Sheeran covering the Cincinnati Bengals from made his e Sports

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: and with all the happenings going on around the NFL

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: Combine and and what the Bengals should or may look

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: to do in the upcoming NFL Draft, we thought a

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: good time to catch up with John, who is kind

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: enough to join us right now.

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 3: John, what's going on? How are you doing well?

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: Tony? We just got the actual Olympics. Now we got

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 4: the under underwear Olympics. Now it's a good week.

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: The underwear Olympics is a good way to put it.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: Before we dive in, Austin said this before the break,

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: I have to get your your thoughts as a fellow

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Bearcat fan, what do you make of the same situation

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: unfolding with Brendan Soresby in the University of Cincinnati and

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: recouping a million dollars I don't.

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: Really share my thoughts on anil and stuff like that,

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 4: but it is like every time we see a story

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: like this, it just feels like another pillar of the

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: college sports world that we know breaking down, and it

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: just seems like this is inevitably going to lead to

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: something that we really never really experienced for and it

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: just seems like all these you know, like legalities and

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: lawsuits and things, it's just all leading to something a

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: lot larger and at the end of the day, like

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: a million dollars and a million dollars for some institutions.

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: For some players it's not much, but for some it's

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: a lot. And yeah, yeah, like it's never good to

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 4: see this sort of thing happen. But I'm just I'm

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 4: just kind of want to just send the part where

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: all this become unrecognizable. We just kind of moved to

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: to the point where we probably should and that's just

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: kind of where my head is at at this point.

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: I have to ask John because I want to get

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: into prospects and the combine and the draft itself. But

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: we've had the opportunity to hear from Duke Tobin, we

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: heard from Zach Taylor, We've heard from the coordinators, anything

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: that they said that that caused you to take note,

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: or maybe that you questioned what they had to say

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: at their time at the combine.

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been We've heard from Duke a couple of

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 4: times now the saw season, which is one more than

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: where we usually are at this point in the offseason,

48
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: and he's made it very clear that there will be

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: an emphasis to bolster this pass rush for the defensive

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 4: line specifically. We know that that's a huge weakness on

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: the team, and we also know that in free agency

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: there is a lot of edge rusher that will be

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: available and the market will be saturated, and it should

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: be a position where the Bengals should find someone that

55
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: they wont for a price that they that they find desirable.

56
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: It may not be the same at defensive tackle, which

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: is why I thought it was also interesting when dude

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 4: left the podium and talked to local Bengals beat writers

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: that we all know respect. He talked about Beja Hill

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: and Chris Shank and is now bullish on them? He was,

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: and that was kind of interesting to me. But I

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: kind of took it as yeah, like they recognized that

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: this free agent class may not be very strong at

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: the defensive tackle spot, but it was no surprise to

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 4: see them meet with the top defensive tackle prospects at

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: the Combine and they may look for answers there. So

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: I'm really interested to see how they addressed the defensive

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: line because Duke Tobin doesn't really say anything definitively when

69
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: he talks in these spaces, but he's made it very

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: clear that he wants a deep, incompetent pass rushing years

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: to bolster the defense. And the way to do that is,

72
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: you know, to utilize both RATESNCY and the draft. So

73
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how they actually end up doing that.

74
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: Is there a defensive tackle in this class that you

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: can justify taking with the tenth overall pick right now?

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: Like its so long as Peter Woods tests at his proday.

77
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: He's not going to test with the Combine for whatever reason.

78
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: But if he tests well at his pro day, I

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: would probably look to consider him there for sure, just

80
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: because of the player that he was in the first

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: couple of years of Clemson. A lot of stuff happened

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: there in this past year. He was kind of misused,

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: The defense around him kind of fell apart, and I

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: think a lot of people have questions about you know,

85
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: how he kind of responded and why the production dropped,

86
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: and that's why, you know, so many teams wanted to

87
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: talk to him at the Combine this week, and it

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: is a shame that he'sn't going to test in the

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: very standardized setting and a lot of that data is

90
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: very useful for his position specifically, and there are some

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: size concerns with him as well, but I really liked

92
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: what I saw from him as another classman. There's a

93
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: reason why he was labeled at the top ten pick

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: entrying this past season, and I don't think that player

95
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: necessarily went away. He's only twenty one years old, so

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: other than him, though, it's not a very promising class,

97
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: I'm not in on Caleb Thanks, I'd be with that pick.

98
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: I think the production was just very consistent. He missed

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: all of last season as well, so it's definitely not

100
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: a very top heavy class. But if would test like

101
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: a decent or good athlete, I a would feel comfortable

102
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: with that pick. At this point, I.

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Want to go back one more time to Duke Tobin,

104
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: who spent time talking about, you know, with the local

105
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: media of you know, we have work to do and

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: we need to get to certain points. But he also

107
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: doubled down that he thinks this team can win a

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl right now, And a lot of people also

109
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: kind of had reactions to his quote of we're always

110
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: all in with the Cincinnati Bengals. Did did you take

111
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: anything away from the all in comments from Duke Tobin?

112
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 4: Not necessarily. I think his definition of all in and

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: our definition of all in or two completely definitions. I

114
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: think they are always all in on their own process

115
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: and how they believe what they believe in terms of

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: philosophy and roster building and contractual principles and all that stuff, right,

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: And I think they're always going to give what they

118
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: deem their best effort for what they think is the

119
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: right thing to do. But clearly, in almost sixty years

120
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 4: of practice there, it's not not led to Super Bowl, right,

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: So you would think that some changes could be instituted there,

122
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: but we're not really seeing any of those changes on

123
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: the horizon. So I think it's like it's hail Mary

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: at best asking Duke Hobin to sacrifice guaranteed money or

125
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: you know, future draft picks for the sake of making

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 4: these aggressive moves that you feel comfortable would improve the roster.

127
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, the Bengals believe

128
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: what they believe in. It's just by attacking needs in

129
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: terms of volume, in terms of players and contracts that

130
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: they feel comfortable with. So going all in doesn't really

131
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: move because I know that Duke doesn't really believe that

132
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 4: the way the hood gms do.

133
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: Everyone this time of the year has multiple mock drafts,

134
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: and we've gone through each mock draft on every Monday,

135
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: and we've seen it all, from Ruben Bain to Sunny

136
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: Styles to Caleb Downs. We've seen the Bengals addressing corner,

137
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: We've seen the Bengals addressing tackle. Everyone's going to have

138
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: a name or a position to throw out there. But

139
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: as we sit here today at the end of February,

140
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: if you had the opportunity to make the perfect pick

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: at number ten, who would you be zeroing in on.

142
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: I think right now when you're looking at who's worth

143
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: that pick in terms of how good they are as

144
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: a player, the value that they would bring the to

145
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: the Bengals at their position, the value of the position itself,

146
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: because I think that's another fact that people kind of

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: overlook sometimes. But just an elite player who's worth that pick?

148
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: To me, it just screams Ruben Bain to me right now.

149
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: And this is a little bit of foresight for me,

150
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: just like thinking about what's going to happen in for

151
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 4: agency and what the team is going to look like

152
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: entering the draft. I feel a lot more comfortable about

153
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: the Bengals signing a veteran safety that would make taking

154
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: a guy like Caleb Downs a little bit less of

155
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: a necessity in compared to where the spots that they

156
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: are now. But I think Caleb Downs is just as good,

157
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 4: if not almost even even better prospect compared to Reuben Bay.

158
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: I would have them probably in the same bucket, the

159
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: same tier, if just guys that feel so comfortable of

160
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: being inserted into the defense and making an instant difference.

161
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: But I do value an edge rusher over a safety,

162
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: and I think it's going to be easier for the

163
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: Bengals to sign a competent safety and just make sure

164
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: that that position is still entering the draft. But I

165
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: think Bain is one of the top five players in

166
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: this class, and I think for you know, very archaic

167
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: reasons that in terms of arm length and wingspan, he

168
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 4: may actually be available with the tenth overall plays, so

169
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: right now, that's still my ideal pick, and I think

170
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: he would not only feel the biggest knee, but he

171
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: would also give them a truly elite player in the class.

172
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: And that's that's the combat that you're looking for.

173
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: We've heard that the term positional value used a lot,

174
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: especially as Caleb Downs is a safety at a number ten.

175
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: We've also heard that with Sonny style thrown around. Can

176
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: you explain that to people specifically with the tenth overall

177
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: pick and those positions safety and linebacker, and why some

178
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: teams maybe wouldn't spend that pick on those positions.

179
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think those positions specifically, you're looking at top

180
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: of the market type of prices in terms of free agents,

181
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: right and for a safety and linebacker compared to pass rusher,

182
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: compared to off tackles, compared to wide receiver, compared to quarterback,

183
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: there's just a different It's in a different atmosphere in

184
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: terms of how much you're paying. And because draft picks

185
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: they get paid, like, we already know what their contracts

186
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: are going to look like before they're even drafted. We

187
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: knew what Sjamar Stewart's contract was going to look like

188
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: before he actually ended up signing it. Right, Like, those

189
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: are locked in values. So when you're talking about taking

190
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 4: the tenth a player with the tenth overal pick, you

191
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: know exactly how much he's going to get paid. And

192
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: if a defense eventd like Rubin Maine fulfills his potentially

193
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: he becomes a really good player by the end of

194
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: his rookie contract. You're getting so much value because he's

195
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 4: he plays a position that gets paid, you know, thirty

196
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: forty million dollars in new market for that type of player,

197
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: whereas compared to the guy that could kill Downs. Kill

198
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 4: Downs could be one of the best safeties in the

199
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: league by the time that his contract expires. Short of

200
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: contract expires, but you're paying a pretty premium price for

201
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 4: a safety compared to maybe like a pass rusher, maybe

202
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: an off of the tackles. Though it's just because like

203
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 4: what those positions get paid on the open market, you

204
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: have to consider the value of that. And it's not

205
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: like it's a bad decision, but there's other decisions that

206
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: can create more value in especially when you're like the

207
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: Bengals and you don't like to spend top of the

208
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: market money on freezings.

209
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: Anyway, as far as safety is concerned, there's been a

210
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: lot of love for Jordan Battle the last couple of

211
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: days from Tobin, from Taylor from Golden What do you

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: make of that and maybe what their plan for Jordan

213
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 3: Battle could be to continue his ascension that we saw

214
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: a little bit towards the end of last year.

215
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think because he was a full time starter

216
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: for the first time last year, he made a lot

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: of obviously quality plays. He had his up and downs,

218
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: like most players on the defense did. But I think

219
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: the way that he progressed and and was able to

220
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: position himself to make those plays, I think was a

221
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 4: big positive for them. And considering the fact that this

222
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: was his first year really just settling in as a

223
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: full time starter, they probably saw enough of him to

224
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: be confident and running it back with him. I think

225
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: there was also a hesitancy to replace both starting safeties

226
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: for the second time in a couple of years, you know,

227
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: to try to do that. Obviously back in twenty twenty

228
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: three and they failed miserably under Lunarumo. And obviously the

229
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: process of replacing those guys all the very good, but

230
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: I think they're very locked in on finding a new

231
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: partner with Battle, someone who can just do his job

232
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: better than what Genostone did and then have Battle kind

233
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: of compete in a contract year try to play his best.

234
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: Obviously there's motivation with that factor as well, but I

235
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: think at the end of the day, Battle did just

236
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: enough to kind of secure his spot, and I think

237
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: them being bullish on him is a recognition that signing

238
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: or drafting two new safeties there to replace both Ginas

239
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: Stone and Jordan Battle is probably not feasible.

240
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: We've seen in some marked drafts the name Francis Mawiinoa

241
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: has popped up the offensive tackle from Miami. Do you

242
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: foresee or could you foresee a scenario where the Bengals

243
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: don't address defense with the number ten overall pick.

244
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think him specifically because he's got this guard

245
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: tackle flexibility to him, and I think teams are gonna

246
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: look at him in that way just because he's not

247
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: maybe as long as he would like a traditional offensive

248
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: tackle to be. I think that makes so much sense,

249
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: especially considered like we at this point in time, we

250
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 4: don't know if Dalton Riser is gonna be back, so

251
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: that they would always say a huge need at right guard,

252
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: like Hell we get as a refregency thinking, I'm like, damn,

253
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: we need to find outther guard again because he didn't

254
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: find rising it right, and like they could, you know,

255
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: theoretically fill that need with a tenth overall pick and

256
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 4: with Francis specifically he can play guard as a rookie

257
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: and then move out to left tackle potentially to replace ROLANDA.

258
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: Brown junior in twenty twenty seven. But regardless of what

259
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: happens at right guard, they do need a swing tackle

260
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 4: for the year. I think they need to probably move

261
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: on from Cody Ford and find someone better and then

262
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: to Grooman to eventually replaced Rolando brun junior at the Planet,

263
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 4: to let him walk in for agency next year because

264
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: we're going to be thirty years old. And they cost

265
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: a lot again to pay for left tackles, and that's

266
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: why selecting a future left tackle the tental rod pick,

267
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: there's value to that because again you're paying a fixed

268
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: locked in costs for that, and if he ends up

269
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: being as good as he wants to be in the

270
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: game value with that. So yeah, it makes a lot

271
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: of sense to me to use that ticke if there's

272
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: not a deepen the player.

273
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: That they like there, what about the scenario where let's

274
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: say that the four or five guys that you've highlighted

275
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: have already been taken in the first nine picks. And

276
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: you know, we heard Duke Tobin kind of talk about,

277
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, best player available versus biggest need. Do you

278
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: do you open the scenario of trading back if you

279
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: are the Cincinnati Bengals based on what happens in those

280
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: front nine picks ahead of you.

281
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. I actually just talked to someone else in Daisy

282
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 4: Sports who was talking about a scenario about the Tibilia

283
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 4: Buccaneers potentially moving up for guy like Sunny Styles, right,

284
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: and how there's been a trade in the past where

285
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 4: from moving up from fifteen to ten you get a

286
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 4: third and the fifth round pick in return. Well, the

287
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 4: Bengals don't have a fifth round pick this year. And yeah,

288
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: it would also it would be nice to have more swings,

289
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: especially in the class where at the top there's not

290
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: a lot of elite talents, so I think there's gonna

291
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: be a lot of teams picking around the Bengals. I

292
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: would like to move back and just try to take

293
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: as many swings as possible on some risky players kind

294
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: of in Day two and Day three and whatnot and

295
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: just kind of fill out the roster that way. I

296
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: am interested to see though, because the Bengals are at

297
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: sixty five players in the roster right now. They're typically

298
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: around this number after frequency ends, so I don't know

299
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: if you know nine or ten players are actually gonna

300
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: make the roster who are drafted from the draft class.

301
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: So I don't know if a volume of picks is

302
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: necessarily the Bengals, that's interest. But if there isn't a

303
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: player that's worth picking tens but overall that you feel

304
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 4: like and you can get an extra day to pick

305
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: in return, I don't think that's the worst snare in

306
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: the world at all.

307
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 3: Duke Tobin described fourth round picks as geno actions. Do

308
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: you think that is kind of indicative of how they

309
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: view fourth round picks? If every fourth round pick in

310
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: their mind is Geno Atkins, do you think they'll ever

311
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 3: trade one.

312
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: It's really just it sums up the Bengals a lot,

313
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: because they value draft picks as as potential value investments. Right,

314
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: a fourth round pick becoming Geno Atkins saves them so

315
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: much money from having to spend in free agency on

316
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: a player who is like half of Geno Atkins. Right. Obviously,

317
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: it's been sixteen freaking years since that pick was made.

318
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: They have done anything removing close in the fourth round

319
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: since then. But there's always a chance, guys, there's always

320
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: a chance that the mystery box becomes a boat instead

321
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: of pain for boats.

322
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: What do you think of the term force multipliers being

323
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: used so much.

324
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: I think that's another term that indicates, like, instead of

325
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: signing a multitude of guys to fix the problem, signing

326
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: one guy that makes the lives of everyone else's jobs easier.

327
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: This is the more efficient way of doing that. The

328
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: problem though, is that, like the best example of a

329
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: force multiplier the Bengals have is a guy like Jamar Chase, right,

330
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: someone who takes attention away from other defenders open up

331
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: opportunities for guys on offense. He was a overall pick.

332
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: He's the highest the offensive player in the league right now.

333
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: Those guys are not inexpensive. So yeah, if you find

334
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: value force multipliers, that is like a cheat code to

335
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: making your roster a lot better. So I think for

336
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 4: a team that has his belief that they are not

337
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: that far away from competing for a championship, adding a

338
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 4: couple of pieces to make all the other younger guys

339
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: on defense that need some guidance in leadership. I think

340
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: that is part of their mindset, is why we've heard

341
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: it so much.

342
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: Who's more of a force multiplier, Ruben Bain or Caleb Downs.

343
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: Oh, that is such a good question. I think honestly

344
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: that the answer might be Downs just because of him

345
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: being able to communicate on the back end and getting

346
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: people lined up. I do question how much he's going

347
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: to be able to do that as a rookie, But

348
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 4: I don't really have a lot of questions about Downs

349
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: in the first place. I just know that Ruben baines

350
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: like you can trust him to win a one on

351
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: one situation as a pass rusher, and that opens up

352
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: other opportunities for your other pass rusher. So I think

353
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: they're both. But I can see the argument for Downs

354
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: for sure.

355
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: We knew the combine was going to be a week

356
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: where maybe we learn more about Trey Hendrickson. Do you

357
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: envision anything coming from the combine with interest from another

358
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: team with Trey Hendrickson and perhaps how that would play out.

359
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think those talks are probably still going on.

360
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: It's probably leaning towards nothing's really going to happen, because, again,

361
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: this is very unprecedented territory when you're talking about the Bengals,

362
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: and tagging trade situations are pretty rare anyways. Nowadays, we

363
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: haven't seen one since twenty twenty four. The last team

364
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: to do that was the Chiefs. They're not shy doing

365
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: anything out of the box in that regard. I just

366
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: think what's working against the Bengals right now is because

367
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: this is such a deep and saturated market for defensive ends,

368
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: the market for trading for the rights to pay a

369
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: thirty one year old pass rusher coming out of an

370
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: injury pill season, they're probably not going to get the

371
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: pick that they want. And that was the case all

372
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: of last year when they were trying like hell to

373
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: find a first round pick for Trey and then they can

374
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 4: only get a Day two pick. Well, now they may

375
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: be trying for a Day two pick and maybe they

376
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: can only get a Day three pick in return. So

377
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: maybe in their minds they feel like letting him walk

378
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: and potentially getting a compensatory pick next year is the

379
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 4: better path to just accepting like a fifth round pick

380
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: this year for a tagging trade situation that again, takes

381
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: a lot of cooperation and communication from both sides, between

382
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: the team and the player, and obviously there hasn't been

383
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: a lot of communication between the team and Tree Henderson

384
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: over the course of his career. So I just don't

385
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 4: foresee that happening at this point.

386
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: What's your arm lengths, John, I.

387
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: Think it's I think it's more than Reuben Bain, but

388
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: I can't confirm that.

389
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: Elite measurables.

390
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: It's it's the measurables that they jump off the page. Yeah,

391
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: last thing I have in going back to what Duke

392
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: Tobin had talked about. We've talked about the draft, We've

393
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: talked about free agency, potential for trades out there. Uh,

394
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: his comments on Dalton Reisner and the decision that Dalton

395
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: Reisner has to make as well. Uh, do you foresee

396
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: something getting done sooner rather than later with Dalton Reisner.

397
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I said all that kind of in jests earlier.

398
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: But I do believe the Bengals will extend Don Reisner.

399
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: I just think because mainly because he just has never

400
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 4: signed a notable contract before in his career. He's already

401
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 4: thirty years old. There's a clear fit between the player

402
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 4: and the team and the scheme. He wants to be here.

403
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: He's made that very clear. And when you have that

404
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: sort of passion from the player's side of the negotiations,

405
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: especially when he's never really made a sizeable check in

406
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: his NFL career, that's typically when these decisions aren't able

407
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: to get done. Like I think it's very similar to

408
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: Mike Oseeki last year, who obviously played on a one

409
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 4: year deal. He expressed desires, you know, cash in free agency,

410
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: but he realized that his best fit was here and

411
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: the Bengals were able to get something done. But they're

412
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 4: able to give him the best contract of his career

413
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 4: just two days before the legal tampering window opened up.

414
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: So I would say that weekend before free agency is

415
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 4: when this is really going to kind of come to

416
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: a head. And I think that's when Donald Reiser will

417
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: realize that his best chance of not only making money,

418
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 4: but being in a place that actually fits him is

419
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: with the Bengals, And I think that's ultimately when this

420
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: gets done.

421
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: I imagine John much like the Bengals and duked, but

422
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: you're all in on the off season as well. What's

423
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800

Speaker 2: He's a big baseball with all of this happening, you know,

487
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: around who the Bengals are meeting with? What we should

488
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: be asking is which of the top prospects have they

489
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: not met with that they're going to eventually draft?

490
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: Or who who do they meet with that they don't remember?

491
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: Meeting with prospects doesn't out so far, so good? Everyone

492
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 3: remembers it.

493
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 4: You got your Tony and Austin. Hey, I was wondering how.

494
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 11: I get ahold of that Eddie Zella guy.

495
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: I really want him to be part of my show.

496
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,280

499
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,600

00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: in all.

502
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 13: Central Villains, gotta go O'Neil Cruz, yes, Ian Happ, Crow Armstrong,

503
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 13: Kristin Yell. But at least I have respect for Yelich

504
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 13: for being an actually good baseball player.

505
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: I kind of respect Hap too. I respect that he

506
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: just hits the crap out of the ball every time

507
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: he plays an He just nashes reds pitching pa. I

508
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: do not like him. He hit that grand slam off

509
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: Tony santi On on my birthday last year. Remember, yeah, no,

512
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: is a good one. He apparently you can't play the

513
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: outfield to save his life. Highlight yesterday.

514
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 2: Apparently he's been all off season work with Kevin Kiirbayer,

515
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: one of the best defensive center fielders of all time.

516
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: And he's still out running balls.

517
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know he's not going to play in many

518
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: Sun games. James from Batavia here and.

519
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: Just remember anything as possible, anything as possible. Kevin Garnett. Yeah, well, respect,

520
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: I love it. Great job.

521
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: I kind of forgot we were doing this for a minute. Garnett,

522
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: Kevin Gardner. The big ticket, the big ticket.

523
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: I think I just heard ponies say, don't say who

524
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: I am and just leave a sports quote and you'll

525
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: figure it out.

526
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: I think you're.

527
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Gonna know who I am anyway, No, I get it,

528
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out who said the quote. You're

529
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna know this one. But it's one of my all

530
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: time favorites. How do you feel about your offensive execution.

531
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of it. One of the best of

532
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: all time. Brian Kelly is Brian Kelly. But I think

533
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: somebody else said it first. The pushback again, Yeah, so good.

534
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: Winning is every time. It's the only thing is that, Uh,

535
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: I don't know who said that, Vince Lombardi. That has

536
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: to be an old school one. It's I think that's

537
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: Vince Lombardi, Vince Lombardi or John Wooden. I want to

538
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: say winning isn't everything. It's the only thing. Yeah, hold on, fellows,

539
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: Chris and Milford. Here, Chris, y'all, we're talking favorite sports quotes,

540
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 3: and I can't.

541
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: Stand a dude ever. He's been out of the league.

542
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: But cart wait yeah, Bart Scott Bart Scott. Uh, winning

543
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: isn't everything, It's the only thing. Often attributed to Vince Lombardi,

544
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 2: the phrase was actually popularized by Red Sanders in the

545
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: thirties and forties. So I was right about Lombardi. Everybody

546
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: says Lombardi says it. No one, No one gives Red

547
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: any credit.

548
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 14: Quick double dip since sports quotes just came up.

549
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: Faux fau foe, faux faux foe. Oh, I don't know

550
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 3: that one. Faux rock fulter foe four four four four

551
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: four four. No, like faux fo I'm tipping. I don't

552
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: know that one. Uh this this says faux fo fo

553
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: is a famous nineteen eighty three NBA playoff prediction by

554
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: six er star Moses Malone, forecasting that the team would

555
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: sweep all three rounds in the playoffs. Faux faux fo

556
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: faux fo. I like that. He nearly called his shot.

557
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: They were twelve and one.

558
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 9: It's not the size of the dog in a fight,

559
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 9: but the size of the fight and the dog.

560
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that feels like a boxing quote. Yeah, I mean

561
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 2: I've used that one before. I just don't know who

562
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: says it.

563
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, this says Dwight Eisenhower or Mark Twain, really, but

564
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

565
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 4: What up Tony?

566
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 5: What UPOUDI from a man Rick Flair, like I said,

567
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 5: to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

568
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: Love it.

569
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: That's a great one. That's a great one. They're gonna

570
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: sit at home all winter because we got the ring,

571
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: we got the money, we got everything. Thank you, Chris

572
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: Sabo at Fountain Square in nineteen ninety. That's a good one.

573
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 15: But man, if man Leroy down here in Fountain things

574
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 15: that are still going on. Saint John's players can't go

575
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 15: home till they make a field goal.

576
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: They're still there.

577
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 15: JJ Bude's moon shot hasn't quite landed Jet and this

578
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 15: just didn't.

579
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 3: Scores another. I thought he was going Yankees, I'm all in.

580
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 13: All the time.

581
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 3: That's my quote. Duke Duke, come after me. I'm a man. Yeah,

582
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm not.

583
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: A kid, Mike who we thought they were.

584
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: And that's why they took the damn field practice practice

585
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: as you're ever been a better player than Bill Walton.

586
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just a that's about there's right there.

587
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 2: We threw four interceptions and fumbled once, one of them

588
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: run back for a touchdown, three of them in our

589
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: own into the field.

590
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: It's inexcusable. Inexcusable. Playoffs, they'll talk about it. Playoffs. Ye

591
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: are you serious? Playoffs? I just hope they can win

592
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: another game, another game. Yeah, very well done, Joe coach Mora, yep.

593
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 6: I'll tell you one thing. If Austin Elmore doesn't win

594
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 6: a Marconi for that time he was on air telling

595
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 6: the world Tony Pike was fired, then they should just

596
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 6: do away with the award.

597
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: I agree, that.

598
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 6: Was the most riveting radio I've ever heard. I thought

599
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 6: Tony was dead. You know who's not dead? Cincinnati bangles

600
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 6: all in as usual. Hey, here's my mount rushmore of

601
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 6: names that sound fake but are not fake. Dante Orleo,

602
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 6: Evan Longoria, Hussein, Joan.

603
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: Bom Oh, very well done. Someone claims that I never

604
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: did return. At least that's what people around here may think.

605
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: You know, thinking back on that period of time, I

606
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: think there was at one point where I did think

607
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: you had died, and then I reminded myself that you

608
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: were still alive. I think a lot of people around

609
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: here know that. I'm back to say that's probably true. Yeah,

610
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: a lot of empty promises have been made.

611
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 11: Well, the next person that sees anybody throw anything on

612
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 11: this field, yes, point him out.

613
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: We get him out of here. You don't live in Cleveland, Cinnat,

614
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Come on, Sam Weish.

Speaker 14: This is James from Batavia again. And this interview was

616
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 14: actually conducted by a friend of the show, garbage.

617
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 15: Whenever I think about Torell Prior, he's just garbage.

618
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: Who said that? No, Terrell Prior, who said Torell Prior

619
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,760

622
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: he's definitely not a friend of the show. You could

623
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: describe him as a foe of the show. Oh show foe.

624
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: That was a locker room I remember this now, a

625
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: locker room interview with pac Man Jones, and he used

626
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: the trash can. Yeah, he pointed to trash can. Yep,

627
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: it was one of his better moments.

628
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: I want the.

629
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 11: Next person that sees anybody for anything on this field

630
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 11: to stand up point out you don't live in Cleveland,

631
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 11: you live in Cincinnati.

632
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: Yes, great delivery.

633
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 16: I'm gonna need a little help with what coach when

634
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 16: asked about how he felt about his player's execution, and

635
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 16: he responded he was all for it, and I got

636
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 16: to include a movie because it applies to so many

637
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 16: aspects of life.

638
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: But don't think it can only hurt the ball club.

639
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: Don't be white. I don't know that one, No.

640
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 4: Man, I mean, I just bleep and walk the guys.

641
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 4: Game's pretty tough.

642
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: Homer Bay so obscure, just that.

643
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 12: It's actually coming from somebody on the exact opposite spectrum

644
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 12: of an athlete.

645
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 14: You're putting it, in fact, on the wrong seallable.

646
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: What.

647
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that one either. God, I feel terrible.

648
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 3: It's the Chickster. I have my laptop, I have my phone.

649
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: All I need is you. How about that.

650
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 14: JJ bladey left handed power hitter, go red legs.

651
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: It's a decent chicken Bresson. It's so good to hear

652
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: from the Chickster man.

653
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: Good afternoon, gentlemen.

654
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 17: You know, after seeing the post that mister McAllister had

655
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 17: on Duke's record putting our teams together It kind of

656
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 17: makes you wonder if this is an acceptable standard by

657
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 17: the ownership, then I guess that speaks volumes to the

658
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 17: whole problem.

659
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: With the team. I don't know you guys want to.

660
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: Correct me on that. I think you kind of nailed it.

661
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: I think that's how a lot of Angels fans feel.

662
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 11: Hey, hey, it's JG today and I just hit a baseball.

00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 15: Dog got a couple of quotes my guy's spoken a

669
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 15: lot over the last few decades. One is I don't

670
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 15: care what they say. I only went on through with sports.

671
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 15: That's gonna be known as someone who was a great father.

672
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 15: And the other I'm married to football baseball?

673
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: Is my girlfriend have a good dad? Boys? I don't

674
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: know those Was that by the same person? Maybe? Man?

675
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: I feel like Bo Jackson said both of those things.

676
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: Look it up. I'm married to football. Who gave the no?

677
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: Dion Sanders said, did you see both? Probably? I could

678
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: see Dion talking about being a father. I don't know

679
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: about eating children.

680
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 7: Hey guys, SpongeBob here, Tony Autie, I just simply wanted

681
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 7: to say thank you. I spend most of my days

682
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 7: behind my windshield and outside sales. You guys keep me

683
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 7: company three hours a day. Yeah, I love your show.

Speaker 7: Keep up the great work, and honestly.

685
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: Ring chimes in, don't think meat, it can only hurt

686
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: the ball club.

687
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't know that Bull Durham. I never seen that movie.

688
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 18: But there's this Neil Stuffs the Wild Wild Way of.

689
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 14: Hey Tony and naughty Gary del High.

690
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

691
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 14: Hey, Tony's information's all out there from the draft, so

692
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 14: it's only fair Austin that you put out your information

693
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 14: to get drafted. So height, weight, hand size, arm length,

694
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 14: and wingspan. I think that would be a fun topic

695
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 14: for you to figure out.

696
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 3: Spier from when I was twenty one, I'll happily share

697
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: that information. From my measurements out it was probably five

698
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: eight two forty. I could probably tell you that. Uh.

699
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 3: I don't know about the hand size, though I feel

700
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: like I got decent sized mits.

701
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 18: Oh, it's a glorious day out here at the Palatial State.

702
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,479
Speaker 18: Birds chirp and Warblin's Warblin I'm gonna have to tell

703
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 18: my coworkers at the DJ I'm a force multiplier today.

704
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 18: I think that the Bengals coachers use that words. They're

705
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 18: trying to bamboozle hoodwink the.

706
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Fans, much like as a former Bengal coach once said,

707
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: I see better than I hear. I like that they're

708
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: all saying that the right things. Yeah, I'll need to

709
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: see it.

710
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: That talkback came in three times.

711
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 11: Multip Hey, listen, man, I'm worried about you. Just this

712
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 11: skyline order man lights spaghetti to get extra chili is like,

713
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 11: come on, man, what are we doing? Get your play

714
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 11: get your play card. You're your arm wrist band or

715
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 11: arm band thing out of retirement. Go in there and

716
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 11: get you a three way with extra chili juicy and

717
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 11: then get your counties or chili dogs. Are why or

00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 11: why but sloppy they're getting over on you.

719
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: So that's what I was gonna ask. So what is

720
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: a more presentable order? Because my father will say three

721
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: way extra juicy, I say three way light spaghetti. The

722
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 2: goal is the same, getting more chili.

723
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: Don't people say? Wet? Is that that's something people have

724

733
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 14: Somebody said it first.

734
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: It was John McKay coaching oh in fourteen Tampa Bay.

735
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 3: Buccaney is back in my day. That's right. The team

737
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: one and it is again silent. Craig, I think you

738
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: need to allow your microphone permission to be used on

739
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio.

743
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 14: I'm just a big Harry American winning machine.

744
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: You know that sounds like a that's got to be

745
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: a wrestling quote, right, I would think that's got to

746
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 3: be up your.

747
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 15: Alley everybody's got a plan until they get punched in

748
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 15: the face.

Speaker 14: The best there is, the best there was, and the

751
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 14: best there ever will be.

752
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 3: I say that a lot, but I don't know where

753
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 3: it comes from. I'm still trying to figure out the Harry.

754
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 12: There was a kicker in college that told his coach

755
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 12: that he was afraid.

756
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 5: He was nervous when he was kicking around him. The

757
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 5: coach told him, I hate to tell you this song

758
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 5: I will be.

759
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 3: At every game first feels like an Urban Meyer game.

760
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: The hit mad at Heart is the best there is,

761
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

762
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: It's me or Smith Patricia.

763
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 14: That's all it is.

764
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: Grace under would how that go?

Speaker 3: I feel like we're getting into war. Mike Tyson was

810
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: the quote before about that nasty.

812
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 19: I was braided by a Skyline employee one time when

813
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 19: I asked for a three way wet oh, and she said,

814
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 19: do you want it wet or do you want it saucy?

815
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 14: Oh?

816
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 4: Well, what's the difference? She said, wet it is just

817
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: extra liquid sauce.

818
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: Saucy is extra chili. I was confused, man, Interesting, see,

819
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 3: I feel like, what's the difference of the chili and

820
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 3: the sauce. It's got to be a location by location thing, Okay,

821
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: Like the things that people say on the West Side

822
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: are not the same things we say over here, Like

823
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 3: it varies on location. It has to be all right,

824
