1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: No one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: sports station. I tried, it's five minutes after four. This 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: is ESPN fifteen thirty. My name is Maleger. Thank you 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: so much for listening. I hope your weekend is off 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: to a great start. NFL Draft is two weeks away, 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: thirteen days away, Night one, to be specific. And our 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: next guest has been kinded enough to join us for years, 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: for years to talk about the draft and specifically from 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: a Bengals perspective. 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: He's with CBS Sports. 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: He's part of the Pushing the Pile podcast formerly from 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, and a guy who wants and I 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: bring this up every year just as patiently as possible. 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: Sat at the Holy Grail once on Opening Day and 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: just answered every conceivable draft question I had. The great 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 1: Mike Renner is with us. It's good to have you, sir. 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: How are you. 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Thanks for having me on me. 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Appreciate you doing this tenth overall, if things go the 20 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: way I want picks one through nine, who's there? 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: Who do I want? 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: I think it's Kale Downs. I mean it's easy, obviously 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 3: being in Ohio to say you want the Ohio State GID. 24 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: But it's like he is everything the Bengals need on 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: their back end. He's reliable, he's a great tackler, he's 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 3: a leader. He you know, for he kicks all the 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: boxes and for a defense and for a team that 28 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: has had so many picks on the defensive side of 29 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: the ball play that just have been like Boomer Buss 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: type guys that really haven't worked out. This is the opposite. 31 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 3: This is the guy you know day one is a 32 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: starter and quality starter for you. I think that alone 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: is why I'm intrigued with him. 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: If he's there and they say no in favor of 35 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: somebody else, we'll talk about who that other person may be, 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: But what would be what would be the downside to 37 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: take in them? 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: The downside is that he is smaller for safety. He 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: does not have the wingspan that traditionally goes top ten. 40 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: Truly, if you're looking for. 41 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: A downsize outside of that, there's not any I can 42 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: see on tape. I mean, this guy's a true freshman 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: starter at dB for Alabama. Those don't come around every year. 44 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: There's a reason he's being talked about in rarefied air. 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: It's because that's what his tape was from freshman year 46 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: to sophomore year to junior year in college. 47 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: If he's not there, who do I want? 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: It gets harrier After that, I think Ruben Bain is 49 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: the dream the Miami defensive ends. I don't know if 50 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: the Bengals would even pick him though, with his short 51 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: arms and what they prefer at that position. So after that, 52 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: I think it's Corner. I think the dream scenario for 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: me for the Bengals specifically is Jermad McCoy after Kayla Downs, 54 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: because Jamal McCoy, the Tennessee corner is a pure man 55 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 3: cover corner. He is a guy that if you pair 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: him with DJ Turner, you might have the second best 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: man covered sandem in the NFL outside of what they 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: have in Denver. Like that's what you could do and 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: what would be at Al Golden's disposal with a guy 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: like that. The only problems just didn't play last year. 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 3: But the Bengals have taken risks on guys like that, 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: and at his pro day he looked like the guy 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: whose sophomore tape was the best tape of any cornerback 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: in the country. So because of that, I think it's 65 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: one of those two guys is who If the Bengals 66 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: don't get one of those two guys, the drop off 67 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: in terms of how good I feel about the pick 68 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: is probably pretty drastic. 69 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Fling it back to Bain for me, we all know 70 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the short arms. It's not a criticism, it's there like, 71 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: that's what it is. How much how much should that 72 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: disqualify him? Should it be as much of a factor 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: as many are making it out to be. 74 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I mean, Geno Atkins didn't have 75 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: that long arms. He worked out pretty good on the interior, 76 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: and the way he plays is I think the thing 77 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: that gives me confidence that he can get overcome it. 78 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: He doesn't win with his length. He wins with leverage 79 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: and play strength. And I've said he treats reps like 80 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: a bench press, and anyone knows short arms help you 81 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: with the bench press. You could bench press more when 82 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: you don't have to do that. And that's what it 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: looks like on tape, like he is bench pressing guys 84 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: the way he rushes the passer, and so with how 85 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: many answers he has are ready to deal with the 86 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: fact of short arms, I think he's going to continue 87 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: to be uber productive at the NFL level. 88 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: You mentioned corner and it's now it's it's like what 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: we're all talking about. I think if we did this 90 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: a month ago, we were all focusing on what they 91 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: do on the edge, what they do at linebacker, which 92 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: in free agency was nothing. And now if you look 93 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: at the depth behind Hill and Turner and what they 94 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: may need in the slot and some long term replacements 95 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: for maybe Hill or I guess maybe Turner. I think 96 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: that's the position we've talked about the most. How deep 97 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: is the cornerback class this year? 98 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: It's a very deep class. Actually, just on pushing the pile, 99 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 3: our podcast ranked all the positions from strongest the weakest. 100 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: It was the second strongest position in my eyes, because 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: it's got top end talent, It's got guys on day two, 102 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: it has starters you know, pretty much anywhere you can 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 3: throw a dart at in the top hundred of this 104 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: draft class. So I it is a very good corner class, 105 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: especially if you want a nickel as well. There's a 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: lot of good nickels or slot guys in this class. 107 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: Uh. 108 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: If Jeremiah Love is their attend should the Bengals be tempted. 109 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: I'd be tempted. Yes, I mean it's hard not to 110 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: be when you have a guy who's that young, that productive, 111 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 3: that dynamic, and pairing him with you know, just being 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: able to take hits off of Joe Burrow, take pressure 113 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: off of Joe Burrow given his injury history. Yeah, I 114 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: would be intrigued, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure 115 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: he pushes you over the top the way improvements to 116 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: this defense because the offense, the offensive fine, you know, 117 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: the offense ate the problem right now? 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: Uh, correct, linebacker is And it's mystifying to so many 119 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: of us. By the way, Mike Renner CBS Sports Pushing 120 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: the Pile podcast with us, it's mystifying to so many 121 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: of us that as bad as they were at linebacker 122 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: last season, with all of the free agency options that 123 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: were available, we're talking in mid April about them adding 124 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: nobody to this point, so need a linebacker. Obviously, Sunny Styles, 125 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: I everything I've read would suggest he's not going to 126 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: be there at ten. 127 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. Is this a d class at that position? 128 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't think Styles is there at ten. I 129 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: actually don't think here of my love is theory, That's 130 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 3: why those didn't even cross my mind where I'm thinking 131 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: of dream Snares for the Bengals, They'll just be gone. 132 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 3: Linebacker class, I said, I ranked all the positions. 133 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: It was one. 134 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: This linebacker class is awesome. Last linebacker classes not. That's 135 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: what That's what floored me. When they took two in 136 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: the top four rounds. I was like, this was not 137 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: the year to be taking linebackers. This is the year, though, 138 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: So if you are going to say, hey, we screwed 139 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: up last year, we know we need another one. We 140 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: at least need depth, even if it's not until early 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: day three, I think you can get a quality guy 142 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: early day three who in other years would be going 143 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: somewhere on day two, just because there's about a dozen 144 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: of them, and the NFL doesn't draft a dozen linebackers 145 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 3: top hunter. I think they draft like four or five 146 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: six historically top hunters just not a highly drafted position. 147 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: So it definitely is one that you don't need. 148 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: To take it early and you can find, you know, 149 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 3: i'd say, an upgrade from what they got last year, 150 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: somewhere on day two. 151 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: They've they've used two of the last three first round 152 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: picks on edge guys. They got an edge guy and 153 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: boy Mafe in free agency this offseason, So maybe it's 154 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: it's not as pressing of a need as you might 155 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: normally think for a team that just lost Trey Hendrickson. 156 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: But I find it hard to believe they're not going 157 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: to add to their depth at edge. Is that group 158 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: deep in this class? 159 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: See, I don't think it really is. There's some intriguing 160 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: Day two names to me, but I don't see you know, 161 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: I really only see three guys as first rounders in 162 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 3: this edge class, which is really small number for historically 163 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: for edge defenders. And then after that there's you know, 164 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: there's a reason why guys are Day two edge defenders, 165 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: and historically, if you just go look Day two edged 166 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: defenders tend to be fool's goal. It's a position that 167 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: the really good ones they go in the first round. 168 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: They're easy to identify who's going to be really good. 169 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: So that's why there are intriguing names. There's some guys 170 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: on Day two, But I just don't think this is 171 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: the draft class that if you don't get one of 172 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: the top three, who are going to go probably somewhere 173 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: in the top eight. If you don't get one of 174 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: those three, I'm not sure you're looking back two years 175 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: from now saying we got to do it. It might just 176 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: take these guys a while to develop. 177 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: It's probably been a decade since we were approaching the 178 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: draft not talking about the Bengals offensive line being a 179 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: need one of their top needs. They're set there, at 180 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: least for the short term. Might be the best line 181 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: they've had in the Joe burrow Erins. In fact, I 182 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: think it is. But they need depth, they need a 183 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: swing tackle, and they probably need a long term solution 184 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: for replacing Orlando Brown. Can they do that in this draft? 185 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: If they don't take a tackle Round one. 186 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: I think there's some interesting developmental tackles or I'm not 187 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: even sure I call them developmental tackles that I think. 188 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 3: I call them just like high floor, low ceiling type 189 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: of tackles that'll go somewhere on Day two or early 190 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 3: Day three. The two that come to mind for the 191 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 3: Bengals specifically are Travis Burt from Memphis and then Markel 192 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: Bell from Miami. And especially MARKL. Bell if you're the 193 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals and given the sheer size of their offensive line, 194 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: mark El Bell six eight three forty six, I mean, 195 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: he's the guy that would fit in that room right 196 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 3: where you're not changing what the offense looks like if 197 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 3: one of those two guys go down. So that's that's 198 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: the guy I would be intrigued by. If he's you know, 199 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 3: probably in the fourth round is where I'd start for 200 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: the Bengals just because other needs are more pressing. But 201 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 3: he's a guy that he'll get to learn how to 202 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: play offensive tackle behind two guys who are a similar 203 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: size that know how to do. 204 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: It between now and in two weeks from last night. 205 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: How many mock drafts will you do? 206 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: Too many? They got me grinding over here. I got 207 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: a three round mock coming out. You know how many? 208 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 3: You know how many Day two picks? I get right 209 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: on a three hour mack every year like one two. 210 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: Maybe it's hard to do, but it's the grind that 211 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 3: I willingly accept. 212 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: I know you get pulled in a thousand different directions 213 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: this time of year. So I can't thank you enough. 214 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: Love having you all man, Thanks so much of course. 215 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: Well, always happy to do it, take it easy. 216 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: That's our guy. 217 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: Mike Renner listened to his podcast Pushing the Pile from 218 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: a CBS Sports also read his work at cbsports dot com. 219 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Okay, it's a it's quarter 220 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: after four. This is ESPN fifteen thirty. If you've been 221 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: with us for the last hour, let's just let's let's 222 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: cast aside the first like ten minutes of this show, 223 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: which was just me over the last hour. That does 224 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: a pretty damn good hour of sports talk radio between 225 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: Heidi Watney and Callum Williams and Mike Renner and and 226 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: you know what, the great thing about that was all 227 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: of it free. You don't have to pay a dime 228 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: for it, all free, and we record it and we'll 229 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: put it all on the iHeartRadio app. I don't know 230 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: about you, but I think that was right then and there. 231 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: That's that's why, that's why this is. That's why this 232 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: is one of Cincinnati's best three or four sports talk 233 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: radio shows. That's a good hour and I had almost 234 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. It's a quarter after four. 235 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: We're guests free for a while. My name is Melleger. 236 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty is our number. 237 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Eight six six seven zero two three seven seven six 238 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: works as well. We've got Reds and Angels coming up, 239 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: and there's we I think we brought this up on Wednesday. 240 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: Corner is interesting for the Bengals because they've got to 241 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: you could use more. You could say this about a 242 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: lot of different positions, but it really is a position 243 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: where you can't use you can't have too many. What 244 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: they do at ten could involve a corner. Monsieur Delaine 245 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: is a name that has been brought up. You just 246 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: heard Jamal McCoy Tennessee, who didn't play at all last year, 247 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: had an ACL injury fifteen months ago. It will be 248 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: fascinating to see if they take a corner with the 249 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: first overall pick, what that does for the conversations about 250 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: what they do long term with DJ Turner and or 251 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: Dax Hill, And in all likelihood the emphasis maybe should 252 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: be on Dax Hill. 253 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: More on that coming up in just a bit. 254 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: I've been asked if we're going to talk about the 255 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Save Ohio Sports. 256 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: Act, and I don't know. 257 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: We'll see Brendaman and Jones on Baseball's coming up this 258 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: hour as well.
