Speaker 1: The morning after every Bengals game, we call it the
Speaker 1: Morning After and kind enough to join us each in
Speaker 1: every week. Former Bengals star Tim McGee, Well, good morning,
Speaker 1: mister McGee. I hope you had a good weekend.
Speaker 2: Well, my weekend was somewhat excellent. I did see some
Speaker 2: fight out of the team. So it was was down
Speaker 2: at the University of Tennessee getting honored and that was
Speaker 2: a privilege, and came back to watch the game, and
Speaker 2: that wasn't the way you want to really end the
Speaker 2: all weekend on a downer.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, Okay, let me back up a minute. You
Speaker 1: got honored at your alma mater.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definite, yes, I did.
Speaker 1: And tell me about it. I mean, people want to
Speaker 1: hear this. This is great stuff. I love when when
Speaker 1: people have things like this.
Speaker 2: What happened, Well, first of all, it was it was
Speaker 2: really one of my well it was my first time
Speaker 2: going back since I actually left there, so it was
Speaker 2: a chance for them. You know, when I left there,
Speaker 2: I had a bunch of accolades such as the UH
Speaker 2: Leading Receiver and all Americas and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 2: And that was the year we kind of put my
Speaker 2: senior year, we put the University of Tennessee back on
Speaker 2: the map with the big win against the University of Miami,
Speaker 2: who was playing for the NACER Championship, and we.
Speaker 3: End up winning that Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 2: So they counted the team and myself at halftime for
Speaker 2: you know, such a wonderful job that we we did.
Speaker 2: And you know, that's when it became Wide Receiver University
Speaker 2: and all the good things starts to clicking. But I'll
Speaker 2: tell you one thing, man, that stadium and that atmosphere
Speaker 2: is just electric.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, it's one of the great
Speaker 1: venues in all of college football. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: And and they're back to relevancy again after a lot
Speaker 1: of years where they were just so so, and it's
Speaker 1: good for college football. All right, let's shift gears to
Speaker 1: the Bengals. You just said. You know, look, if you
Speaker 1: watch the game, Tim, the defense was good in the
Speaker 1: first half. The offense is completely non existent. I want
Speaker 1: to start with that for a minute. I know you
Speaker 1: have a new quarterback, but how in the world can
Speaker 1: you have fewer than thirty yards of offense in one
Speaker 1: half of football when you have the entire week to
Speaker 1: scout the opponent. I don't care how good they are.
Speaker 1: You've got an entire week to scout the opponent. How
Speaker 1: does that happen every week for the Bengals, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think they're that good.
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just start there. I think we need
Speaker 2: to continue to manage our expectations. The team put all
Speaker 2: their money into three players on the offensive side, one
Speaker 2: player on the defensive side, so overall, I have never
Speaker 2: and I know we say this, I personally say this
Speaker 2: a lot. I just never expected them to be beat
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens or the Pittsburgh Steelers, And now that
Speaker 2: you see it in real time, it's a very difficult
Speaker 2: pill to swallow. And I think it's on the talent side.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's on the coaching side.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: You know, every time they win, you don't get Mike
Speaker 2: Brown credit. But when they when they lose, you you know,
Speaker 2: you blame Mike Brown and you blame the Brown family.
Speaker 2: But I just don't think this team is very talented
Speaker 2: on neither side of the ball outside of the Big Four.
Speaker 2: And other than that, I think there's a huge disparity
Speaker 2: and talent of their top tier players versus the next tier.
Speaker 1: Were you shocked at the offense though? Was that bad
Speaker 1: in the first half and then pretty dog gone good
Speaker 1: in the second half.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: I was really surprised they made such a conscious effort
Speaker 2: in the second half to get Chase the ball, just
Speaker 2: put the ball in his hands and let him make plays.
Speaker 2: He made obviously some unbelievable plays. But the first half
Speaker 2: it was kind of like, Okay, what are you thinking?
Speaker 2: Then you're they kind of put the they kind of
Speaker 2: put the cuffs on the offense as far as getting
Speaker 2: the ball in the personnel that's neat that can make
Speaker 2: you plays. And then the second half, obviously they changed
Speaker 2: and they open up things a lot, a lot more So,
Speaker 2: I will say this, I left with the after that game.
Speaker 2: I have I'm under the impression that this team is
Speaker 2: not as bad as I thought they were, and He's
Speaker 2: not as good as I thought they were, but they.
Speaker 3: Have some potential.
Speaker 2: I was really pleased with the offensive performance in the
Speaker 2: second half, but they kind of looked like they were
Speaker 2: a threat in Flack. Oh you know, for got it
Speaker 2: coming in, you know, four days, five days or whatever
Speaker 2: it was before before you have to put the uniform on.
Speaker 2: I thought he played pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you all the way. I
Speaker 1: thought he looked very good. It did take a while
Speaker 1: for it to get going. But you know, Tim, I
Speaker 1: I just look at this offensive line and look, you
Speaker 1: can say they held up pretty well in the second half.
Speaker 5: They did.
Speaker 1: They don't have a play caller in the head coach
Speaker 1: Zack Taylor, who has ever been committed to the run.
Speaker 1: They're throwing the ball forty five times. There was never
Speaker 1: a time in the game yesterday ever where they were
Speaker 1: getting blown out of the gym like they were, you know,
Speaker 1: the three games prior to that, where they just had
Speaker 1: no chance and so to have any hope you got
Speaker 1: to throw it forty times. But yesterday, again it's not
Speaker 1: to say they would have been successful, but they just
Speaker 1: had no interest whatsoever in running the ball yesterday right
Speaker 1: from the get go, outside of of course, a jet
Speaker 1: sweet panned off to Jamar Chase on the first play
Speaker 1: of the game.
Speaker 2: Well, you have a combination of challenges with the run game.
Speaker 2: You have a head coach, last offensive coordinators, last play
Speaker 2: caller that loves throwing the football, he loves putting the
Speaker 2: quarterback in the pistol shotgun position and throwing the ball
Speaker 2: time at the time, down at the down. That's always
Speaker 2: going to create yourself a problem for the running game.
Speaker 2: So therefore the mentality of the offensive lineman, they're working
Speaker 2: on their kickstep, they're working on their shuttle, they're working
Speaker 2: on a lot of things other than run blocking and
Speaker 2: run blocking. As you know, the run game in particular
Speaker 2: is all about attitude and determination and stript strength. You
Speaker 2: got it, you're going downhill. They don't have that attitude.
Speaker 2: So therefore, it is very, very disappointing that week after week,
Speaker 2: game after game they're not committing to the run. I
Speaker 2: mean a commitment to we're going to be able to
Speaker 2: run this football because again, in Clement Weather's coming, we're
Speaker 2: going to need it. If we're going to be as
Speaker 2: the football team, we got to run the ball. And
Speaker 2: that is the most difficult, disappointing part of this season
Speaker 2: has been the run game. And it starts with the
Speaker 2: offensive line, and I think it also starts with the
Speaker 2: play call.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, look, I've been saying
Speaker 1: it for years. Zach Taylor is cal taled to Burrow
Speaker 1: on this. They've put all their money, as you've mentioned,
Speaker 1: into the passing game on the offensive side. And I
Speaker 1: guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but when you have
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to be able to adapt when
Speaker 1: you have a change of quarterback. Now the third quarterback
Speaker 1: this season they've had to use. It just seems like,
Speaker 1: you know, desperate times call for desperate measures. But that's
Speaker 1: not happening. Flacco's swinging the ball around forty five plus times. Look,
Speaker 1: you talk about managing expectations, but second half yesterday, as
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, Flacco starts to get settled in,
Speaker 1: got a little time to throw the ball. He's still
Speaker 1: got plenty of arm, and we know he has great
Speaker 1: skilled players around him.
Speaker 5: The game this Thursday night, to me.
Speaker 1: Tim, is almost a season defining game.
Speaker 5: Do you agree with that or no?
Speaker 2: You know what, I can see it both ways, Tom,
Speaker 2: And here's the reason they play Pittburgh obviously this Thursday
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is probably you know, if you look at it
Speaker 2: on paper, they're going to come in here. They actually
Speaker 2: have the position that they haven't had in a number
Speaker 2: of years since Ben.
Speaker 3: They have a quarterback.
Speaker 2: So if things don't go the way the Bengals are
Speaker 2: hope that hope things will go. They still got the
Speaker 2: Bears in the I think the Jets coming up, so
Speaker 2: they'll have some time to kind of get back at
Speaker 2: their footing, but they'll obviously have a five game losing
Speaker 2: street if things don't go well with Pittsburgh. It's Thursday,
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't say it's the end all, but it's
Speaker 2: getting close to where you're digging a hole so deep
Speaker 2: that it's going to be almost impossible for you to
Speaker 2: regain any type of playoff momentum. And I know we'll
Speaker 2: go back to the famous head coach to take playoffs.
Speaker 2: What's playoffs? You know where we can't even be talking
Speaker 2: playoffs right now, but that's the aultimate goal. I just
Speaker 2: think this team again, when you break it down, you
Speaker 2: can look at when losses, you can look at home away,
Speaker 2: you can look at divisions, you can look at a
Speaker 2: lot of different things. But it's going to start with
Speaker 2: this team running the football. They don't run the football.
Speaker 2: The defense is going to be on the field a lot.
Speaker 2: Teams are going to score points, and you know they're
Speaker 2: going to take away strategically, They're just going to take
Speaker 2: away your mar chase and make them, you know, make
Speaker 2: them beat you underneath the poser over the top, and
Speaker 2: they're not having those big chunk plays, and that there's
Speaker 2: another reason they're not having a lot of success on
Speaker 2: the offensive side of the football.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, they got the Steelers at home, and then
Speaker 1: they get the Jets, who we know are awful. But
Speaker 1: you know, some people say, hey, the Bengals aren't good either,
Speaker 1: so what would make you expect that you're going to
Speaker 1: be able to beat them? But then you got the
Speaker 1: Bears at home, they're playing okay, before you play the
Speaker 1: Steelers again. It just seems like me, let me ask
Speaker 1: you about the defense that third and eight yesterday with
Speaker 1: about two and a half minutes to go. I just
Speaker 1: continue to ask myself, how can guys get this wide
Speaker 1: open on a third down and eight. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds so elementary. And I know the Packers have a
Speaker 1: good quarterback, and they've got good receivers, they got good
Speaker 1: running backs.
Speaker 5: They're a good team.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they are a good team, but
Speaker 1: golly day, I mean, it just seems like there are
Speaker 1: stretches where guys are so wide open.
Speaker 2: And that is man, I tell you, when that's the
Speaker 2: head scratcher right there, when you think you got or
Speaker 2: the team has some momentum. If they get this stop
Speaker 2: and you start playing possibilities in your mind, Well, if
Speaker 2: they get this, then they can go down, they can score,
Speaker 2: then they if they get the onside kick, you just
Speaker 2: start thinking of all these things going through your head
Speaker 2: because there's hope, and we haven't had hope in weeks,
Speaker 2: almost a month now. So when you think of that
Speaker 2: and then you see a blown coverage or you see
Speaker 2: a misassignment and you see a player wide open and
Speaker 2: they're playing pitching cats they get the first down, you
Speaker 2: go right back to that demoralizing stage that got this team.
Speaker 2: They find ways to lose football games, and that's the
Speaker 2: fine of a bad team.
Speaker 5: All right, let me ask you one last question.
Speaker 1: Knowing what we know about the state of the Bengals
Speaker 1: right now, there was a story that broke that the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers might be interested in acquiring
Speaker 1: in a trade Trey Hendrickson. If you ran the Bengals,
Speaker 1: would you even consider that?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely, And here's the reason why. He's only one
Speaker 2: year deal. He is a huge asset. You can get
Speaker 2: some draft capital or maybe another player in two backs
Speaker 2: and now you can really build a solid defense. But
Speaker 2: you only right now he is the only bona fide
Speaker 2: star or superstar player on the defensive side. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I would strongly. Now, Obviously, when I say strongly consider Tom,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: What I got coming back in return.
Speaker 2: If I got something coming back in return that I
Speaker 2: can build a defense around Al Golden's system. Absolutely, if
Speaker 2: I get that draft capital, maybe a first round or
Speaker 2: maybe a second round or whatever, absolutely I would definitely
Speaker 2: consider it, because, you know, considering the Bengals are right
Speaker 2: now going to be drafting pretty high, and San Francisco
Speaker 2: ain't doing too good himself. You may, you know, you
Speaker 2: may have two top fifteen first round picks.
Speaker 3: You just never know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the forty nine ers or a franchise,
Speaker 1: it's always quote unquote trying to win.
Speaker 5: They're not doing much of it.
Speaker 1: They lost again yesterday to Tampa Bay, but they're one
Speaker 1: of the great franchises in football. Congratulations again, Tim McGee.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend at You're alma mater, Tennessee, do you
Speaker 1: think Tennessee is gonna make it to the college football Playoff?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, whatever I think ain't gonna really matter.
Speaker 2: I guess who we have next week?
Speaker 3: Alabama?
Speaker 2: Baby, we got our big rifle coming up and it's
Speaker 2: in Alabama. So you know, like everything, if you want
Speaker 2: to win a championship at the University of Tennessee, you
Speaker 2: gotta go through Alabama or Alabama. I gotta go through Tennessee.
Speaker 2: So we'll know this time next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, I tell you the team. I just still can't believe.
Speaker 1: And my son's a student there. I just cannot believe
Speaker 1: what Kurt Signetti has done at Indiana. Indiana, Oh my god, Wow,
Speaker 1: can you talk about a coach making a difference? Man,
Speaker 1: This cat's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Dude, they don't get the top talent in there, out
Speaker 2: there kicking button taking names.
Speaker 5: There's no I mean they ran.
Speaker 1: I mean they destroyed Oregon in the second half of
Speaker 1: that game the other day. All right, Tam, have a
Speaker 1: great rest of your day. Thanks for your time.

Speaker 4: By the way, It's absolutely beautiful, and we are currently
Speaker 4: in the Nacional Palace of Pena, which.
Speaker 3: Has taken seemingly forty eight days to get to. But
Speaker 3: it's breathtaking. It's high on not a mountain, but it's
Speaker 3: a very sizable hill overlooking. This is one of the
Speaker 3: most beautiful places as far as countries are concerned, that
Speaker 3: I've ever been in my life. They we started at Barcelona,
Speaker 3: they talked about how wonderful Barcelona is. Barcelona is good,
Speaker 3: but for our money, that's amand in me it does.
Speaker 3: It doesn't hold a candle to Portugal.
Speaker 1: I've heard other people say that about Lisbon. What do
Speaker 1: you like about it?
Speaker 3: Tom? It's clean, It's incredibly clean, it's incredibly safe. The
Speaker 3: prices are reasonable, the buildings, the antiquities, everything, there's no negative.
Speaker 3: They've got beaches that are beautiful. The climate is I
Speaker 3: think the guy said yesterday, it's very comparable to central California,
Speaker 3: is the way he put it. They rarely ever get
Speaker 3: extremely cold weather. I mean, I mean, if you were golfer,
Speaker 3: you could play golf here three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 3: days a year. It just it's just a it's an
Speaker 3: eye opener. I had no idea how beautiful it was
Speaker 3: coming into it. And you know, her horizon fell. My
Speaker 3: guy Prominent Travel put this thing together and we've had
Speaker 3: a wonderful time. You know.
Speaker 1: The one thing I always wonder about when I've had
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go overseas is how they treat Americans.
Speaker 1: And you can get you know, right varying degrees on
Speaker 1: that you brought up before you went on the trip
Speaker 1: about how so many Americans actually retire in Lisbon, Portugal.
Speaker 5: But are the native people friendly to Americans?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah. I think in the last ten or
Speaker 3: twelve years more retired Americans who are retired abroad, specifically
Speaker 3: in Europe have retired in Portugal. Not so much Lisbon,
Speaker 3: but the entire country. The people are great. You rarely
Speaker 3: have a run into somebody who doesn't speak English. It's
Speaker 3: a world class city with you know, if you're a
Speaker 3: lady or a man for that matter, that it's inclined
Speaker 3: to shop. They got all the big time names here, man,
Speaker 3: I mean from Gucci to Prada to everything imaginable. It's
Speaker 3: just special. It's a really special place. And now having
Speaker 3: been here, I can understand why Americans, if they want
Speaker 3: to retire abroad, would certainly seriously considered Portugal.
Speaker 1: Which begs the question, are you seriously considering retiring in Portugal?
Speaker 3: That would be an affirmative note to know. No, Marty
Speaker 3: is not respecting about retiring important.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well well look with a time difference. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: not too good. I mean, although Joe Flacco in the
Speaker 1: second half looked really good and at least you, for
Speaker 1: the first time, maybe a little bit of hope.
Speaker 5: You know, I brought it up earlier.
Speaker 1: And of course there are a ton of people that
Speaker 1: listen to this show in the station across the border
Speaker 1: in Indiana. And you have a grandson. I have a
Speaker 1: son that's in college there. I mean, for people that
Speaker 1: don't believe the difference of a head coach and the
Speaker 1: difference a head coach can make.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. You tell me,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's somebody out there. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I've ever seen any professional team, college team, hell,
Speaker 1: for that matter, high school team that is turned around
Speaker 1: from being so bad to so good as what Kurt
Speaker 1: Signetti has done it Indiana.
Speaker 3: I agree on a percent. And if anybody had any
Speaker 3: doubts in their mind about the quality of his latest edition,
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five edition, just check out what he
Speaker 3: did against Oregon on the road last Saturday. But also,
Speaker 3: I think you have to factor in. It can't happen
Speaker 3: this quick under the old rules. If you didn't have
Speaker 3: the portal, I don't know that he would have had
Speaker 3: the year he had last year, and I guarantee that
Speaker 3: holds true. Now now they're coaches that do well in
Speaker 3: the portal, and he's one that's probably done better than
Speaker 3: anybody as opposed to go old Bill Belichick down of Carolina,
Speaker 3: who can't fight his rear end with both hands. But
Speaker 3: I think what Signette's done at Indianapolis, I think it's
Speaker 3: wonderful for college football. I think it's great for the
Speaker 3: Big Ten to have a program that's been something of
Speaker 3: a doormat and now this guy comes on the scene
Speaker 3: and it's just lights out. I mean, I'm become a fan,
Speaker 3: you know, I answer to what they do. And a
Speaker 3: huge win the guesst Oregon, no question.
Speaker 5: I want to.
Speaker 1: Ask you a little bit about the baseball playoffs. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're having a chance with a time difference,
Speaker 1: what's the difference, like six seven hours you're ahead of
Speaker 1: Eastern times?
Speaker 5: That about right.
Speaker 3: It can be five, or it can be it could
Speaker 3: be anywhere from five to seven. Okay, it's five right now?
Speaker 5: Are you watching?
Speaker 3: We don't see much No, no, no, I haven't seen
Speaker 3: any of it. No I paid attention to it. I'm
Speaker 3: but I wake up in the middle of the night
Speaker 3: I'll check to see what the scores are, and then
Speaker 3: I'll read the game scores, you know, the next day. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I remember when I was out there doing the NFL games.
Speaker 1: I'd wake up at two thirty three o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning and find myself watching Ohio State Penn State. I
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy, yeah, but yeah, all right, let me
Speaker 1: ask you this though. You know, here we have the
Speaker 1: quint essential disparity and team payroll right the major superpower
Speaker 1: in the Dodgers taking on little old Milwaukee, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, had the best record in all the National
Speaker 1: League this year and will have home field advantage. Are
Speaker 1: you giving Milwaukee a chance in this series? No one
Speaker 1: out talented. The Dodgers aren't quite honestly, how well the
Speaker 1: Dodgers you're playing right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I give them a chance. I think anytime you
Speaker 3: have a short series. Although this would fall right down
Speaker 3: the Dodgers alley too, because in the short series, if
Speaker 3: you've got pitching, then anything can happen. And I think
Speaker 3: that obviously would apply to Milwaukee, although they got a
Speaker 3: pretty good offensive ball club. They can score. But the
Speaker 3: same things that I just said them you could apply
Speaker 3: to the Dodgers I think the Dodgers will win the series.
Speaker 3: Would I like to see Milwaukee win, Yeah, I really would.
Speaker 3: I'd love to see Mowake. Think what Pat Murphy's done
Speaker 3: there this season has been nothing short of sensational, and
Speaker 3: I'd love to see them rewarded by being able to
Speaker 3: take the whole thing. But I think they got a
Speaker 3: tough tough road to hoe facing that Dodger ball club.
Speaker 1: Without Yeah, you know, you talk about Pat Murphy, and
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about him for a long
Speaker 1: long time because I had a chance to get to
Speaker 1: know him when he was out at Arizona State, and
Speaker 1: you know, he took over this this monster program out there,
Speaker 1: and you know, all the great players through the years,
Speaker 1: and a whole laundry list of him, Barry Bonds going
Speaker 1: back to Reggie Jackson and you know, and all these
Speaker 1: other guys. But you know, he never got him to
Speaker 1: the College World Series. They would make the tournament every year,
Speaker 1: but then he could beat you get the alumsa go crazy.
Speaker 1: They run him out of town. And basically he was
Speaker 1: a guy that was just looking for a job. And
Speaker 1: how ironic it was that the guy that he coached
Speaker 1: in college, Craig Council. I mean, you talk about the
Speaker 1: weirdness of this world and the weirdness of life. Sometime
Speaker 1: that it would be Counsel who resurrects the career of
Speaker 1: his former skipper at Notre Dame in Murphy, and then
Speaker 1: it's Murphy who defeats Council in the playoffs.

Speaker 3: long visit with him last year. I went down and Metty,
Speaker 3: and she knew you and knew who I was, and
Speaker 3: I spent forty five minutes with him in the visiting
Speaker 3: manager's office at Great American Ballpark, Justesse. He and I.
Speaker 3: I was stunned that he spent so much time with me.
Speaker 3: The one question I didn't ask him, which is what
Speaker 3: I wanted to and I think I know the answer.
Speaker 3: When he started out in college and established himself of ASU,
Speaker 3: did you ever think about going to the Major League Baseball?
Speaker 3: And I would think his probably his answer might have been, oh,
Speaker 3: they're guys that don't aspire to that type of thing.
Speaker 3: But I think the way and maybe I'm wrong, but
Speaker 3: the way things turned out, he manages great counsel council.
Speaker 3: Ultimately he gets to the big leagues in the managerial job.
Speaker 3: Murphy does too, and then Murphy beats him in the postseason.
Speaker 3: I think it's a great story.
Speaker 5: Where are y'all to next? Before we let you go.
Speaker 3: Next? We are going tomorrow? Where are we going to? Porto?
Speaker 3: Just don't ask me? Look at it and it's it's
