I have no answer for you. 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 4: However, I'm the only one there who's excited because we're 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: witnessing one of the great moments in baseball history. And 58 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: I tell them all the time, I'd be home watching 59 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: this game anyway, so I might as well be at 60 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: work watching it and getting ready to do a show. 61 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 4: So yeah, I tried to work ahead, got a few 62 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 4: things done that I posted socially, and you try to 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: take the work that would have been on air and 64 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: posted socially to your social media accounts.

And then we were in a commercial 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: break and I looked at my phone and it was 78 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 4: a text from you about something going viral, and I'm like, 79 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: what are you talking about? 80 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 5: And I slipped on my Twitter and I showed it 81 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 5: to Jeremy. 82 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: I said, this thing has fifteen thousand likes and like 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: an hour and a half, I'm like, what is it 84 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: about this that relates and resonates so much with people? 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: Now relates and resonates with me because I'm a mid 86 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 5: forties guy with three kids who loves to eat alone. 87 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 5: But I've always been that way.

I'll share that on social media, and there 97 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: it goes. 98 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: One more. 99 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: I want to get to the Bengals. But on the 100 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: game last night, you're watching along and I just had 101 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: the chance. Last week or whenever it was we were 102 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: on the road with I was sitting with Mo and 103 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 3: We're watching o'tanni strike out ten and hit three home 104 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: runs in a game, and I'm thinking to myself, he's 105 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 3: doing something I'm never going to see in my lifetime 106 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: anyone else do. And then last night I'm thinking the 107 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: same thing. I'm never going to see anyone on this 108 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: stage ever put together a performance like shoe Hey Otani 109 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: is doing. You're a sports fan. You've grown up in 110 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: a time and Austin and I hit on it earlier. 111 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: You've been able to see Tiger and Jordan and Lebron 112 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: and Steph Curry and Otani and Tom Brady, and you 113 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: can down the list of all these greats. Where does 114 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: last night rank for you? On just an individual accomplishment 115 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: that is never going to be replicated for us? 116 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: You mentioned all the people that I have seen throughout 117 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: my life and been privileged to watch play. I think 118 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: about the people that I've never seen play, and the 119 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: legends and the stories you hear of them. And I 120 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: was thinking last night as he was walked for the 121 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 4: fourth time and on base for the eighth time, thinking, 122 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: in one hundred years from now, are people going to 123 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: talk about sho Hao Tanny the way that we talk 124 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: about Babe Ruth. And that's what's really interesting to me. 125 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: Now it'll be different because they'll have video available and 126 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: they'll have more stories available and so much more written 127 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 4: and shown and recorded of what show Hay's done compared 128 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: to what Babe Ruth did. But are we going to 129 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: look back in one hundred years And I kind of 130 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 4: laughed to myself, or are kids gonna say, oh, look, 131 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 4: he was only hitting against guys who were throwing a hundred. 132 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 4: He was playing as a bunch of plumbers, you know, 133 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: because people are going to evolve, people are going to change, 134 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: and guys are going to throw one hundred and fifteen 135 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty miles an hour in one hundred years, 136 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: And are we going to appreciate sho Hao Tani the 137 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 4: way we talk about legends like Babe Ruth. To me, 138 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: it's like this, there are a handful of people that 139 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: transcend sports fans in the pop culture and He's one 140 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: of those guys that I can be And I'll be 141 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 4: tonight at home watching the game, and when sho Haotani hits, 142 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: I'll say to my family, who's around the house doing 143 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: other things, show Hayes up, and everybody will come around 144 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: the TV, including my wife, who isn't a huge baseball fan. 145 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 5: She loves the Reds. 146 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 4: But outside of that show, come watch and see what 147 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 4: Sho Haotani does. And to me, that's the measure of 148 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: someone who's not just a sports star, but an icon, 149 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 4: and that's what Sho Haotani has become. On top of it, 150 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: the guy's extremely likable and I find him fascinating to 151 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: watch the way he handles himself, the way he carries himself, 152 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: considering his star power and the weight he has globally. 153 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: I just think it's a cool thing to know that 154 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: at one hundred years, when we're long gone, Tony, that 155 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: people are going to be talking about a guy that 156 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: we got to watch every single day when we wanted to. 157 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: Let's switch gears. I hate to do it. 158 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: We've got to talk a little bit about the Bengals 159 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: and the Jets thirty nine, thirty eight, five hundred and 160 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: two yards of total offense for the Jets. We'll have 161 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: a comment or two about the offensive side of the ball. 162 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: Let's start with the defense, Joe, somehow, some way, after 163 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: the historically bad defense we saw last year, they're worse 164 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: in many categories this year. How have we gotten to 165 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: this point and is it something that can be fixed 166 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: over the course of an offseason or does this take 167 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: multiple years now to do well. 168 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: I'd love to play back our conversations and us talking 169 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 4: about this defense going back to training camp and off 170 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: seasons and talking about how they weren't going to fix 171 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: this just in one offseason, but they can start to 172 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 4: take steps, and how we said we're not going to 173 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 4: be full by what they do in training camp or 174 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 4: what people say about them. We're not going to be 175 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: fooled about how they look and week one, We're really 176 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: going to judge this team when it's real, when they're. 177 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 5: Playing real offenses. 178 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 4: And here we are halfway through a season and they 179 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: are who we thought they were. They just did not 180 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: add enough difference making talent to take the kind of 181 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: leap that. 182 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: They would need to take from last year to this year. 183 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: They invested in change in coordinator, they invested in change 184 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 4: in draft capital, and it hasn't added up to enough 185 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 4: for this team to be better defensively. Now, I had 186 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 4: the idea Sunday night when I got back and we 187 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 4: were talking amunst ourselves in the sports department about what's 188 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 4: the deal with the Bengals defense. And it's so simplistic 189 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 4: to me. It's just a lack of elite talent. And 190 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 4: you look at what this team has done. They've chosen 191 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: that way to build their defense, that way being draft, 192 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: develop and try to keep it hasn't worked. I challenge 193 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 4: you to go back and look at the Bengals drafts 194 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 4: and find the last time they drafted someone who turned 195 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: into a star. 196 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 5: And I think locally. 197 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: We would argue Jesse Bates in twenty eighteen was a 198 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: star here in Cincinnati, but I don't think he's a 199 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 4: national football star the way some of these defensive players 200 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: are talked about around the league. You go back then 201 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 4: to twenty ten in Geno Watkins, a guy who's going 202 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 4: to be in the Ring of Honor, a guy who 203 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: deserves a fair shake for the Hall of Fame. 204 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 5: I mean, those are really the only two star. 205 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: Players I can find in the last fifteen years of drafting, 206 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: and that's the plan and the only way this team 207 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 4: can do this to fix their defense because of what 208 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 4: they spent offensively. 209 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 5: The plan was pay the guys on offense, draft. 210 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 4: Develop and hope they develop into good players on defense, 211 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 4: and it hasn't worked. 212 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 5: It's simple to me. 213 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 4: We can talk about tackling, we can talk about schemes, 214 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: we can talk about coaching. 215 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 5: To me, it's about the talent. 216 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 4: There's not enough elite talent on this defense for them 217 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 4: to close the gap from what they were last year 218 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: to getting better and being functional this year. 219 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 3: So saying that, and I completely agree with that sentiment, 220 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 3: how do you lean on any faith that next year 221 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: it'll be different, that though all of a sudden be 222 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: able to evaluate these players differently and they'll hit home 223 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 3: runs in the draft Because there has been so many misses, 224 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: So how could you have faith that going into the 225 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: next draft things would be different. 226 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 5: You don't. And that's the reality of the situation. 227 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: And that's what's so worrisome I would think for Cincinnati 228 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: Bengals fans is you don't have that faith that they 229 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: will be better, that, oh, give them six more swings, 230 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: they're bound to hit at home run at some point, Well, 231 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: they've had a lot of swings and they haven't hit 232 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: home runs, and so at some point you just wonder 233 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: how many times are they going to strike out before 234 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 4: a change is made. Now, I'll say this to that 235 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: point too, is I've brought up many times when it 236 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 4: came to roster construction, is signing T Higgins the best 237 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 4: thing for this roster? Could you take that money and 238 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: spend it elsewhere? 239 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: And the question would be do you trust that if they. 240 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 4: Had that money, they would spend it correctly or would 241 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 4: they spend it at all? So it's almost a moot 242 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: conversation to have about what they should have or shouldn't 243 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 4: have done with T. Higgins because there's no faith what 244 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: they would have done with that money in the first place. 245 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think you have to question that can 246 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 4: they use another offseason to get this thing fixed? Because 247 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: they just took five swings at it in the draft, 248 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 4: They just made a change at defensive coordinator and all 249 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 4: that investment and change, the net return is zilch. 250 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 5: It hasn't been. 251 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 4: Better, And that to me has to be the most 252 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: worrisome thing going forward, is there's no track record of 253 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 4: this thing being any better next year. 254 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 6: Well, the good news is Joe, that there was a 255 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 6: player's only defensive meeting yesterday, which that can only mean 256 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 6: good things, right, like, what did you hear if anything 257 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 6: about that meeting? And you know, do we know who 258 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 6: led it or or if there are any leaders emerging 259 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 6: on the defense as they go through this. 260 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: So I spent some time with Demetrius Knight yesterday and 261 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 4: he did his big media scrum, and then I wanted 262 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 4: to spend some time for this purpose to ask these 263 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 4: kinds of questions. And he wouldn't go into detail of 264 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: who spoke, but he said in general some names, and 265 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: then the names you would expect. The guys that he 266 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: said stood up and were leaders in that point, the 267 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 4: BJ Hills, the older guys on defense. The Trey Hendrickson 268 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 4: is another name he mentioned. And I asked him can 269 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: young guys be leaders, because some of these defensive players 270 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: are in position to be leaders. And he fixed the 271 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 4: profile of a guy that you would want speaking in 272 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: that meeting, considering his age, his maturity, his position, and 273 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 4: he said, the best thing a young person can do 274 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 4: to be a leader when they of his age of 275 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 4: his experience, is be a good listener. And and so 276 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: that told me at that point that he didn't feel 277 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 4: comfortable standing up in front of that room and having 278 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 4: guys listen to him. And how could you if you're 279 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 4: if you're a Barrett Carter and a demetrious night and 280 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 4: you're not playing well enough for for guys to to 281 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 4: want to rally around you and listen to what you say. 282 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 4: And and I and I spent some time with him 283 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 4: about the tackling thing, because you know, we've talked about 284 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 4: the tackling thing, and I've been curious of what guys 285 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: can do in practice to help this throughout the year, 286 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: because once you get out of training camp, there just 287 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: isn't a lot. 288 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 5: Of hitting there. There isn't going to the ground. 289 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 4: And he said, well, on Thursdays, they they do go 290 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 4: to padded practice. 291 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 5: And he made some changes. 292 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 4: Last week when going against the scout team about tackling 293 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 4: with his feet and being present with his feet and 294 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: running through defenders and stutting when he can, and he 295 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 4: thought it made a difference in his game. And he 296 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 4: shared that with some teammates and he thought that might 297 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: help them going forward. So we don't know exactly what 298 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 4: Zach Taylor means when he says they have to get 299 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: creative in practice about helping these guys tackle. He wouldn't 300 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 4: give those details even off the record, but Demetrius and 301 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: Night did shed some light on some Thursday ideas and 302 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: some Thursday studding that can help this team maybe go 303 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 4: forward with the tackling. But to me, it all comes 304 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: back to just a lack of ability, a lack of talent. 305 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 5: We hear the word hesitancy. 306 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: I think that comes with guys not having confidence in themselves, 307 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: and guys don't have confidence in themselves as they're not 308 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 4: elite players, and I think that's where still comes down. 309 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: That's the hard part when you have a player's only 310 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: meeting whoever speaking you want to hear from, but you're 311 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: also as a player thinking, well, what's this guy talking about. 312 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 3: I'm watching his tape and it's not much better than mine. 313 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: So they just they don't have enough players playing an 314 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: elite level that you're looking for a leader, and I 315 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: don't know how you establish one. Have you have you 316 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: at Fox nineteen, Have you had to call a meeting 317 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: of that of that nature at any time? 318 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: No, because we tackle well with Channel nineteen, I have 319 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: I have had meetings with younger people that I work with, 320 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: but listen and those come. I've been in the business 321 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: for twenty four to twenty five years, so I can 322 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: speak from a position of experience and a position of teaching. 323 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: And I wouldn't feel comfortable when I was working under 324 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 4: Dan Horde, when I was working under Brian Deesen's law, 325 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: when I was working under Zach Wells, Guys that I 326 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: work with and respect so much to stand in a 327 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 4: room and try to tell them to follow me or 328 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 4: do it a certain way, so I can see the 329 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 4: point that a guy like Demetrius Knight is making that 330 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 4: a Barrett Carter is making. And I go back to 331 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: some of the off season conversations I had with the 332 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: guys like Jordan Battle, who said they wanted to empower 333 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: those kind of guys so to be young guys in 334 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: positions of importance to have that feeling that they can 335 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: go in front of the team and speak it. 336 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 5: But it just doesn't work that way until. 337 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: You have, as you said, the tape to prove you're 338 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 4: a guy you're an alpha, or the experience that proves 339 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 4: you're a guy you're an alpha. You don't feel comfortable 340 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 4: doing that and you know we've entered the players only 341 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: portion of the season that that's never a good thing 342 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 4: for a season. 343 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 5: We'll see what what it's made of. And Zach Taylor 344 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 5: was different on Sunday. 345 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 4: You don't you don't see Zach oftentimes kind of go 346 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: at his team a little bit. The way he did 347 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: call players out the way he did, didn't do it 348 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 4: by name, but in general he typically doesn't do that. 349 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 4: It typically is an accountability on him that it starts 350 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 4: with him, stops with him. So for him to challenge 351 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 4: the defense the way he did, maybe that resonates. Maybe 352 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 4: it makes a difference because it does feel like a 353 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 4: season again back on life support after the loss against 354 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: the Jets. 355 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: On the offensive side of the ball, it's hard to 356 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: pick apart much of what the offense has done. They're 357 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 3: running the ball much better, they've protected better, Flacco has 358 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: been spreading the ball out. 359 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: Two things that I go back to. 360 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 3: One, you have to find a way to target t 361 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 3: Higgins more than twice in a football game in the NFL. 362 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 3: And I don't know if that's a Zach Taylor thing 363 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: or if there's someone on staff that needs to maybe 364 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: remind Zac at times of Hey, I know things are 365 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: going crazy here, but just so you know, you know, 366 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: we're at the point of the game and he's got 367 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: two touches. The other thing to me is wide receiver 368 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 3: number three. Austin alluded to some statistics earlier about the 369 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: lack of separation by Andre Yoshi Vash, not making contested 370 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: catches and the drop totals that he's had this year. 371 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 3: And at the same time, Mitchell Tinsley is not getting 372 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: many reps. Jermaine, who I think had a good training camp, 373 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 3: he was drafted in the third round, is not getting 374 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: an opportunity. Does this team need to evaluate wide receiver 375 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: number three in your opinion? 376 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 5: So we spoke with Andrea Yoshibotz yesterday and you can 377 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 5: find those clips. 378 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: And it was interesting that it didn't feel like Andre 379 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 4: fully understood the criticism that was starting to come his way. 380 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 4: That I'm not sure he's aware that the finger pointing 381 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 4: in the crosshairs that he's in with the fan base 382 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: at this point, which I found interesting from him not 383 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 4: knowing that or having a cent that that's happening. The 384 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 4: issue I would have with wide receiver number three is 385 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: who fits the profile of filling in that position from 386 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 4: watching Jermaine Burton, Jermaine Burton didn't look like he would 387 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 4: be successful as a slot wide receiver in that short 388 00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: space separation. 389 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 5: I didn't see it. 390 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 4: He looks like an outside receiver to me, So I 391 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: don't know if there's really a position for him to 392 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 4: go in and fill in for Andrea yoshi Vas. The 393 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: same thing goes with Mitchell Tinsey. Mitchell Tinsey looks like 394 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 4: an outside wide receiver option. I'm not sure he exactly 395 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: fits the profile what they're looking for at a guy 396 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: at that spot, And I think that's why you've seen 397 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 4: them stick with Andrea Yoshibat through a lot of his 398 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 4: struggles here so far this season. You know, he talked 399 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,479 Speaker 4: in the off season, even Joe Burrow did, about his 400 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 4: ability and his growth in making contested catches, and it 401 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 4: just hasn't shown up so far in games this year. 402 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 5: But even if Mitchell Tindley and. 403 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 4: Jermaine Burton don't fit the profile necessarily of what the 404 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: Bengals are looking for from a third wide receiver, maybe 405 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: maybe that's something they have to work on more. Maybe 406 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: that's something they have to experiment more with during practice, 407 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 4: And maybe that's something during the bye week that they 408 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: spend a lot of time on to give someone else 409 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 4: a shot, because even if they don't profile as well 410 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 4: as a Yoshi vas or a Tyler Boyd at that 411 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: position the third receiver next to Te and Jamar Chase, 412 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 4: certainly someone else could be more productive in that spot 413 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 4: because Andre and the drops right now just aren't good 414 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 4: enough and the team needs more from him. And then 415 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 4: as far as he goes, yeah, just throwing the ball board, 416 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 4: I think when you go look at the box square 417 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: to the game, the coaches are going to look at 418 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 4: each other and say, Okay, how many targets to Jamar 419 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 4: and only two to Te. They invested way too much 420 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 4: money in that guy for him owing to get the 421 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 4: ball thrown to him twice before. 422 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: I let you go, Joe. 423 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 3: The UC Bearcats head to Utah late start Saturday night. 424 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 3: They're getting nine and a half points in this game. 425 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: Why is this a tough matchup in your opinion? 426 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: Because of the way Utah runs the ball and their 427 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 4: philosophy on offense. Now, a lot of this is going 428 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 4: to hinge on Utah's quarterback Devin dan Pier. He did 429 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 4: not play last week. They played a true freshman, and 430 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: he was electric against Colorado. Now that was Colorado. When 431 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 4: it looks like Colorado let go of the rope about 432 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: midway through the second quarter. But the way that Utah plays, 433 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 4: the physicality on offense, their commitment to running the ball 434 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 4: is going to be a strength on what's been a 435 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: bit of a soft spot for UC defensively. So I 436 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 4: can understand why the point spread is the way it is, 437 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 4: but I think it hinges on how healthy is Devin 438 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 4: Dan Pierce Ankle. Will he be himself, because when he's himself, 439 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 4: he's as dangerous of a two way threat as anybody 440 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 4: in the conference. That includes Brendan Sorsby, but Storesby and 441 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: that offense gives you see a chance against anybody in 442 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 4: this conference. 443 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 5: I think that the point total to spread. 444 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 4: Right now is too high, but I think that really 445 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 4: does depend on what they get out of their quarterback 446 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 4: at Utah. 447 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Daniman Fox nineteen. What do you got coming 448 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 3: up this week? 449 00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 5: Joe? 450 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 7: Gentlemen, The yeat streak has been extended three times by 451 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 7: a total of six different people at the game, including 452 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 7: a row of four guys who all yelled yeat. 453 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: At the exact same time.

You know where the Bengals are concerned. 492 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 11: I don't think anybody's really going to lose their job, 493 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 11: but Zach and al they could take the rest of 494 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 11: the season and maybe shift the personal paradigm. It's been 495 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 11: said here on three sixty due you know, not loving 496 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 11: the duke either, but if you want to be my 497 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 11: lay tech salesman invoked the Costanza ruler, It's off to 498 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 11: Del Boco Vista and no soup for you. 499 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 12: Next U Tobinlan Health Traffic Center, where our gastro entyrologists 500 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 12: remind you to get colidoscope to check for cold cancers. 501 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 12: The Bengels defense released the entire contents of their colds. 502 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: All over the field in the fourth quarter. 503 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 12: Tony, how could I get fired and promoted at the 504 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 12: same time? Maybe make it Eddie Zelix's traffic with traffic. 505 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 6: I'm Edie zelk A great question. That is an excellent question. 506 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 6: Oh Ze, great job. 507 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 13: Do you know the last time the Bengals drafted an 508 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 13: offensive lineman and actually contract it was Clint Bowling and 509 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 13: that dude retired in twenty nineteen. I've been on the 510 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 13: fire Zach Taylor bandwagon, but I'm walking that back because 511 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 13: the next question is always who you're gonna get I 512 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 13: don't know who are your top three candidates right now? 513 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 14: If Zach Taylor gets. 514 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 13: Fired tomorrow, who are they? Because they're not going to 515 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 13: magically make this defense tackle. 516 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 6: Well, that's what a coaching touch would be. I would 517 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 6: mention Joe Brady would be at the top of the list. 518 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 6: I hope not. I guess you could at least consider him. 519 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: Joe Brady, John Gruden, whoa Doug Peterson? Anybody else really 520 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 6: stand out? 521 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: Peterson would be an interesting one. I think that would 522 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: be an interesting Yeah. 523 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 15: The Lord. 524 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 11: Hey, I got a question for you, Tony Austin. 525 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 16: What was that stuff that Aaron Rodgers was sniffing on 526 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 16: that Sunday night game? 527 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 17: Is it illegal? 528 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: Is he going to get suspended? Nope, it's just smelling 529 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 2: salts illegal. 530 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 18: So yesterday on Tony Pike's Tony IMO Football Show featuring 531 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 18: Tony Pike, you guys played Zax Presser, during which he 532 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 18: was preaching about not wanting the players to make the 533 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 18: same mistake twice. Coach, I saw five guys make the 534 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 18: exact same mistake on the same play, but anyway they 535 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 18: come back. MO mentioned that it was a shorter than 536 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 18: usual presser. Well, that's because that had a game plan 537 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 18: for once and it was executed the perfection. As soon 538 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 18: as there was three to five seconds of silence, he 539 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 18: was gonna jet j E T jet jet jet. 540 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 19: Hey, guys, hope you're doing well. I just wanted to 541 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 19: reach out and ask if anyone has approached Duke Tobin 542 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 19: for comment. 543 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 6: I would imagine people have asked to talk to Duke 544 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 6: and the answer has probably been no. Any chance we 545 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 6: hear from Duke at the bye week No. I can 546 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 6: speak for me personally. I haven't reached out to try 547 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 6: to get comment from Duke. I know that people who 548 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 6: often do are often told no, thank you. 549 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 20: Sorry, Hey guys, Stephen Montgomery, just reaching out to I 550 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 20: read that the Browns have a third rank defense in 551 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 20: the NFL. So I have a great idea, cal Cleveland. 552 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 20: They were dumb enoughs to give us Flaco for a song. 553 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 20: Offer them our entire defense for their entire defense, and 554 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 20: they can have our next two drafts entirely. 555 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 5: I'm only partly kidding. 556 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 20: Because wow, I mean, they could totally rebuild. He can 557 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 20: a bunch of guys, but. 558 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 5: Desperate times guys. 559 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: All right, you let's throw that in the hopper. 560 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 16: Hey, Tim, Hey Adam, this is former Alabama coach Nick Saban. 561 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 16: I just wanted to Collin say I cannot wait to 562 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 16: see the Cincinnati Wildcats out of Utah of this Saturday. 563 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 2: As you know, I'll be there for college game Day. 564 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 21: Uh. 565 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 5: Looking for big things. 566 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 16: Out of Brandon Surly a coach. Kney Saderfield number point 567 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 16: guard really has him running on the patch shift this year, 568 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 16: and I think he's gonna make a real run. It 569 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 16: has been, has been, You shoot, have won, Tim Brendan Sourly. 570 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 15: Tony, Tommy Tucky, mister gilber too, Tony. I think Duke 571 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 15: Tobin and his inability to draft and develop players is 572 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 15: awfully similar to Bowling' easy in his efforts in memorial 573 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 15: they turned Wow. 574 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 2: I mean, if you think. 575 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 15: About it, he's had different players, He's gonna acquire different people, 576 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 15: and they haven't panned out. He's always got this phantom 577 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 15: fourth guy showing up that never shots. I mean it's 578 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 15: very similar to Duke Tobin and now he runs the bangle. 579 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 6: That is a great correlation. That is one facts. So 580 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 6: player personnel in ain't easy. Yep, you got a fort 581 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 6: you just can't make. 582 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 22: It in the creek. 583 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 21: I know I'm a day late, but I got a 584 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 21: pile on Zach Taylor. No, you don't get any credit 585 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 21: for the offense the last couple of weeks. That is 586 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 21: one hundred percent Jamar Chase going off and everybody talks 587 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 21: about his record without Joe Burrow, which I think sits 588 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 21: at nine to twenty seven at the moment. I think 589 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 21: the more damning stat is his record with Joe Burrow 590 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 21: forty thirty and one. That's a fifty six win percentage 591 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 21: with arguably the best quarterback on the plane. 592 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 23: Oh, the Bengals last Sunday. What a devastating gut punch 593 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 23: that was. O'TAWNI is unbelievable. The Brad Paisley thing is unbelievable. 594 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 23: His mother in law is Emulu Harris. I like her 595 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 23: a little bit. 596 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 24: Oh, Miles Murphy, I mean, I don't know if they 597 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 24: could get maybe a box and nails form. 598 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 2: A show from Casey here. 599 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 25: You talk about bringing in free agents and people that 600 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 25: are established in the league and proven track records. For me, 601 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 25: that's even more case to get rid of the coaching staff. 602 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 25: They got to go because they've done that on the 603 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 25: O line. They brought in people who've been in won 604 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 25: super Bowls, all those things. If you look at the past, 605 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 25: you know, however many years and they'll come here and 606 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 25: just forget how. 607 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, or they don't develop, or they don't fit the system. 608 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 26: Rep in the city out here in sunny hot and 609 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 26: so on and what up, Tonny? 610 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 27: What up? 611 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 26: Buddy man s He says, Sinnatti, gotta give you guys 612 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 26: some love. The atmosphere was phenomenal. TG on the radio 613 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 26: was fire. That was homesickling at that crowd. Beautiful Bengals man. 614 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 26: Our defense is marshmallows saw. Let's just be real straight 615 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 26: bones on defense. Figure way to be Chicago and I 616 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 26: don't trust dupe neither you. 617 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: Tossed in the day. 618 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 26: The reason why the Big Twilo is on the map. 619 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 26: We about to come out there and smoke them used 620 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 26: they ain't ready for this type of smoke. 621 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: We're running the Big twelve marshmallow soft. That's soft. 622 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 28: Hey, guys, it's JD from Chicago. Just thinking that with 623 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 28: the Bengals having to rebuild all four layers of their 624 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 28: defense defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks, safeties, is there too much 625 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 28: overall needed to wait until next season? Aren't this shouldn't 626 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 28: they try to tackle at least one of those areas 627 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 28: between now and the trade deadline? 628 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? 629 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 3: I would, because I just don't trust that they can 630 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: attack it in the offseason, because we just watched them 631 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: fail miserably at attacking it in an off season. 632 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 6: It would make sense to make moves now that help 633 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 6: you now and help you down the road, or the 634 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 6: Bengals typically will put it off until later on and 635 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 6: see what happens then, But it would make sense to 636 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 6: help yourself now if you can. 637 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 29: Yeah. 638 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 17: I see no reason why this Bengals team should be 639 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 17: buyers in the deadline. They should absolutely be sellers. And 640 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 17: you outline it yesterday. They're not close to winning or 641 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 17: competing for anything right now, so one or two guys 642 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 17: at the deadline in gonna change that. There are so 643 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 17: many holes in this team it is going to take 644 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 17: multiple off seasons to fix the amount of holes they 645 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 17: got to compete for where they want to go and 646 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 17: Ohio State plus two to sixty to win it all. 647 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 5: The next closest team is. 648 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 17: Indiana at plus six hundred. 649 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 5: That is a huge gap. 650 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that gap as genuine as well. 651 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 6: I would sprinkle on Indiana. By the way, I'm bullish 652 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 6: on the Hoosiers. I really think they can do it. 653 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 6: The problem with your argument there is the Bengals have 654 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 6: one one sellable asset and it's Trey Henderson. 655 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 2: And who's hurt He may not play this week? Heard 656 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: it the worst time possible. Correct, There's only. 657 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 30: One way for this team to make a complete three 658 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 30: six team. The Cincinnati Bengals need to have one. Will 659 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 30: Blackburn and girls come down to the sidelines with a 660 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 30: headset on and listen to every play that comes in. 661 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 2: For the Dee fringe. 662 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 6: Don't hate that idea matter of fact, we have some 663 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 6: carly erse Gordon audio to get. 664 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 31: To Tony Audie, I got some nice thanks to say 665 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 31: about your main sponsor, Skyline. I was at Krager today 666 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 31: and they were passing out samples of the Skyline and 667 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 31: Chili made that Chili made with chicken. It was really 668 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 31: really close. They did a really good job of making 669 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 31: that recipe. I think if you made three ways, four ways, 670 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 31: five ways at home, you wouldn't be able to tell 671 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 31: a difference. 672 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 2: And it's healthier, Okay. 673 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not kidding, Like it's unbelievably good okay, And 674 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 6: I think it's not exactly the same, but it's not 675 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 6: dissimilar in a bad way. It's still good. 676 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 29: Hey, guys, Marcus from the Groove Marcus, you guys know me. 677 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 29: Of course I stayed up to watch that game more 678 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 29: because I'm antiv ghost running rule in the regular season, 679 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 29: So me, watching extra inning games is real baseball to me, 680 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 29: and I enjoy every second of it. To go to 681 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 29: the Bengal side of it, people need to stop with 682 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 29: the narrative of chalk the season up, wait till next year. 683 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 29: Burrows only got a few years left and everybody does 684 00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 29: know he can leave. 685 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't want to start down that path. 686 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 32: I've been very pessimistic about the twenty twenty five Cincinnati 687 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 32: Bengals for the following reasons. Number one Cincinnati Bengal had 688 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 32: cheerleader Dan Ward on your show, saying that Hal Golden 689 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 32: was an upgrade from Lou and Rouma. Number two Shamar 690 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 32: Stewart saying that the Bengals care more about winning arguments 691 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 32: than winning. Number three memerosiasin outing the Bengals for being cheap. 692 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 32: Number four Tony Pike's bleak training camp reports. Number five 693 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 32: Wogan Wilson asking grim mid season training. 694 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 19: Damn, hey, Tony, just wondering if you could speak to 695 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 19: why when we watched the Bengals, the field seems so 696 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 19: small and when the Chiefs play, it seems so freaking big. 697 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 19: It wasn't always that way, but I'm just thinking. 698 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 5: Of how. 699 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 19: Kelsey will block and then leak out at the last minute, 700 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 19: and there's just not a soul around the man. Well, 701 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 19: the Bengals these things as well. Thanks buddy. 702 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 6: I've always said it'd be nice to just, you know, 703 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 6: emulating and copycat from what other teams do successfully. But sure, 704 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 6: whatever reason, it's just not in the cards. 705 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: M Hey. 706 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 33: I noticed that during the very well deserved Ray of 707 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 33: Honor ceremonies for Lamp and Leap and Lamar, the Bengals 708 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 33: did not introduce the other legends that were in attendance. 709 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 2: What is up with that? 710 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 6: You don't have time for it. NFL halftimes only twelve minutes. 711 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 6: You got to do a video tribute to each of them. 712 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 6: You got to get them both out there. You got 713 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 6: to present them with the jacket. You gotta take the pictures. 714 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 6: You got to get them off the field. Not enough 715 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 6: time to roll through the other fifteen or twenty guys 716 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 6: who might have been there. 717 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 22: I know who the top pre candidates are. That would 718 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 22: be the assistant running backs coach for the Patriots, or 719 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 22: the trainer for Seattle, or maybe the equipment manager for 720 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 22: the Raiders. 721 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 2: Heard they're all real good guys. 722 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 22: Since we decided to hire a quarterback coach instead of 723 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 22: a coordinator. 724 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 5: M HM. 725 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 34: I would trade Trey Hendrickson for two draft picks. Then 726 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 34: I would trade for Max Crosby, give him a first 727 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 34: and maybe a sixth, and then I'd get Thibodeaux from 728 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 34: the Giants and give them a draft pick or two. 729 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 34: And then I'd have two proven defensive ends that rushed 730 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 34: the passer, and it wouldn't cost me much more. We 731 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 34: don't use our draft picks anyway. 732 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: And then you wake up because you're in fantasy lamb come. 733 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 27: Ba, Hello Austin.

Like, I think Jamar Chase is 782 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 6: a leader on this team. Now, I also think Jamar 783 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 6: Chase is a is a guy that wears his emotions 784 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 6: on his sleeves. And I think more than anything, Jamar 785 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 6: Chase is a guy that wants to win. Does not 786 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 6: care if he has twenty catches or two catches. He 787 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 6: wants to win. 788 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,439 Speaker 3: And many times in his post game he was asked 789 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 3: about the defense, he said, I don't play defense, I 790 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 3: play offense. 791 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,879 Speaker 6: Ask them, yep. Many times in the post game, he said, 792 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 6: that's not a question for me. Asked the head coach 793 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 6: aske Zach Taylor. Yeah, I don't have an issue with 794 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 6: that from your star player, and it's not abnormal. He's 795 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 6: given that answer before. Correct, not my job or that's 796 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 6: a question for Zach. That's my thing. If it's true, 797 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 6: then I appreciate the honesty like that. 798 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 3: That to me is what I want in a leader. 799 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 3: I don't want someone to sugarcoat things and say, well, 800 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 3: you've got to be better, we'll get back to the 801 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 3: drawing board. I want a guy that said, listen, essential 802 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 3: we put up thirty eight points. I don't play defense. 803 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 3: Go talk to them, make them answer for it. I'm 804 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 3: not the head coach, Go ask him. He was also, 805 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 3: I thought, as critical as he could be. He said, listen, 806 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, they doubled me, they doubled t 807 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 3: They put single coverage on Dre Mean and andre Yoshi Vashon, 808 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 3: they blitzed. That's essentially him saying if you're single covered, 809 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 3: you gotta win. I don't have a problem with any 810 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 3: of it. 811 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 6: Also, you know, there's a difference between you know, Ted 812 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 6: Carris is saying we scored thirty eight, but we had 813 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 6: to score forty to win, and it just sucks. It's 814 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 6: a terrible feeling. Okay, that's fine, but like, let's let's 815 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 6: have some accountability. Let's hold people to a standard now. 816 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 6: Jamar also, by the way, dropped a pass that maybe 817 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 6: could have won them the game, and I'm sure there 818 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 6: was some displeasure with himself. I also don't think he 819 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 6: was asked about it, which you know, I'm curious to 820 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 6: see his answer on that. Right, it wasn't a great threat. 821 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 6: Oh but it hit Jamar Chase in the hands. 822 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 3: But knowing him, I would assume he'd say, that's the 823 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 3: ball I gotta catch. 824 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 14: For sure. 825 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 2: I have no problem with it. 826 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 6: I appreciate honesty, I appreciate transparency, and it felt like 827 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 6: to me listening to it. And part of the reason 828 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 6: I heard it when they aired it originally on the 829 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 6: Bengals postgame show and then I played it again. The 830 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 6: reason I did is because it related to how I 831 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 6: feel as a Bengals fan. I was angry, I was frustrated. 832 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 6: I'm mad about the way that this defense continues to perform, 833 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 6: and that thirty eight points wasn't enough against the worst 834 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 6: team in football, and Jamar had that same feeling and 835 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 6: I appreciated and related to that, and I think, you know, 836 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 6: Joe Danaman kind of touched on it. Nick Taylor kind 837 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 6: of felt the same way too, correct. Zach was kind 838 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 6: of one over there to step up. 839 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take one more break, let's come back. We 840 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 3: will finish with a quick phone call to end hour two, 841 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 3: and then Scott Saderfield will get it started now Number 842 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 3: three next the SBN fifteen to thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 843 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: You've been listening to football in the Naty on ESPN 844 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: fifteen point thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 845 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 10: News on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's Sports station. 846 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 3: Welcome back. Our number two coming to a close. You'll 847 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 3: hear from Scott Saderfield to kick off our three. 848 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 2: Next. Before we get to that, a phone call. What's up, maso, 849 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 2: what's going on? 850 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 27: Boy? 851 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 2: You tell me that great day, great day. 852 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 5: Good good well. I've been sitting here in the past couple. 853 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 10: Of days listening to people call in and blame Duke 854 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 10: Cobin a lot, and rightfully so. But it got me thinking, 855 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 10: how many guys do we have in the scouting department. 856 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 10: If I recall, don't we only have like six and 857 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 10: the rest of the NFL has like twenty four or something. 858 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the biggest scouting department in the NFL 859 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,919 Speaker 6: is the Cleveland Browns. They have like thirty. 860 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,320 Speaker 5: Okay, And who's decision at that? It's a good question. 861 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 6: I think it's it's mainly up to Duke Duke his staff. 862 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. 863 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 10: I don't know, Okay, it is his call, Okay. I 864 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 10: wasn't sure if it was Mike Brown and Katie's called 865 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 10: you know on that on that, or if it is. 866 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 2: Duke, because I'm sure they play a role in that. 867 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 10: I was going to say, because you know they they 868 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 10: probably deserve a little heat too. It's like you could 869 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 10: probably bring Howie Roseman in come from Philly and he's 870 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 10: gonna fail. And with the Bengals if you're only you know, 871 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 10: employing six guys is on the scouting department. 872 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 3: I feel like with some of it too, Like my 873 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 3: thing would be like if Duke were to go upstairs 874 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 3: and say, hey, I need to hire more scouts because 875 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 3: of this. Is that something they're open to or is 876 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 3: that something that Duke just kind of keeps in house 877 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 3: and he's good with how they're they're heading. That would 878 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 3: be behind the scenes that I just don't know, we know. 879 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 6: But it is important to note they have expanded that 880 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 6: over the last couple of years. They added a director 881 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 6: of football Research, they added a scout, They've done more 882 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 6: data stuff like it has advanced. It's still not nearly 883 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 6: what I guess the baseline NFL level of a scouting 884 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 6: department would be, but it's still I guess going in 885 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 6: the right direction. 886 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 14: Yeah, gotcha, Okay, Yeah, that's I was just kind of 887 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 14: curious on who made that call because I knew the 888 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 14: Bengals were on the low end, you know, as having 889 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 14: personnel in that department. So I just feel like, you know, 890 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 14: he's kind of already got his hands tied behind his back. 891 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 5: But if that's his call, then yeah, then that's on him. 892 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, yep, yeah, I think it would 893 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 3: be interesting on you know, if you were to go 894 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 3: up and say, hey, we need more people, what that 895 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 3: would be met with. But again, I go back to 896 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,320 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. You know, U see Iowa 897 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 3: State a lot of NFL teams in attendance. No one 898 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 3: from the Bengals drove ten minutes up the road. 899 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 6: Now who we don't know what their assignments were that weekend, 900 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 6: and if Duke was, you know, somewhere else, if he 901 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 6: was at an Ohio State game, or who knows. But 902 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 6: that's an example of well, if you have ten guys 903 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 6: instead of six, maybe one of them ends up at 904 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,399 Speaker 6: UC and on have a relationship with one of those 905 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 6: players or one of those coaches, either at UC or 906 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 6: Iowa State or both, or whatever it might be. I mean, 907 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 6: just looking at the directory right now on the Bengals website, 908 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 6: you've got Duke Tobin as the director of player Personnel. 909 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 6: You've got Trey Labouni, which is the director of scouting 910 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 6: research basically, which I don't know. I would love to 911 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 6: know exactly what that is. Tyler Ramsey is a scout. 912 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 6: Tyler Josh Hinch is a scout. They have two assistant 913 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 6: general managers, Steven Radisivic and Mike Potts, which are basically 914 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 6: similar to it's funny they're assistant general managers, but there's 915 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 6: no official general manager, so they have all sorts of 916 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 6: different stuff in that player personnel department. 917 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: Sure, our three is next Scott Saderfield from the podium 918 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 3: earlier will lead us off on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati 919 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 3: Sports station
