Also in our number three, we'll talk 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: about red spring training and spring training as a whole. 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: One of the best biggest prospects in baseball for the 26 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates Connor Griffin. He had himself a two home 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: run day yesterday and speaking of two home runs, Ellie 28 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: de la Cruz and Eo Honeyjo Suarez went back to 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: back in yesterday's Reds win over the Kansas City Royals 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: in spring training. We'll dive into that more in our 31 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: number three. 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: You know who Connor Griffin hit that first home runoff 33 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: of don't oh, it'll be Red Sox left handed hurler 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: Ranger Schworez. Oh who the Reds we'll see in game 35 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: number two. He's right for the picking of one and 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: sixty two. He is ripe for the pickings. You just 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: better get that straightened out. So I gotta say I 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: like all. I gotta say they're ranger. 39 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: I like it. As we get into our number two 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: today mentioned that we will have our uh our normal 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: talkbacks will also spend much of our number two on 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: college basketball. Last night, Miami a winner over Eastern Michigan, 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: the Kentucky Wildcats on the road a winner over South Carolina. 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: And how about what happened last night at ud Arena Austin. 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, the Dayton Flyers. Some would call that 46 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: BTA Grand Canyon Mule, Saint Louis all of a sudden, 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: sputtering a little bit down the stretch, and Dayton starting 48 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: to play some very good basketball. 49 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: Some people are calling him the Saint Louis Billa knts Ooh, 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: I like that. 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: I like that. Last night in Lubbock, Texas, you see 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: comes up short against Texas Tech, the Red Raiders. 53 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: I thought for sure, like the first five minutes, Oh 54 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: my gosh, I was like, okay, it's we're on, Like yep, 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 3: it's go time. 56 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: You see made their first nine shots from the field. 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: They were on fire to start the game. But yet, Austin, 59 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: when you make your first nine shots, I think there's 60 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: a part of you that thinks you should be maybe 61 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: winning the game by a good amount. The defense last night, 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: quite frankly for the Bearcats, did not make the trip 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: to Lubbock, Texas. MO tweeted this out earlier. Texas Tech 64 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: missed twenty five shots last night. They rebounded twelve of 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: those misses. After that nine for nine start, the Bearcats 66 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: went just thirty percent the rest to the way and 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: U s had zero answers for Christian Anderson last night, 68 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: who had thirty one points, eleven rebounds, and seven assist. 69 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: Texas Tech has been impressive in the two games, small 70 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: sample size, but in the two games without JT topping. 71 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: Their style of play bodes very well for that offense 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: that they want to run a lot of ball screens, 73 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: the most ball screens used in college basketball. Will break 74 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: down everything about last night's loss. You'll hear from Wes Miller, 75 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: and we'll talk about if and what any type of 76 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: path ahead would look like for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Also 77 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 2: in college basketball, last night, number nineteen BYU at home, 78 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: they heard the boo birds last night, fifty two to 79 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: twenty eight. UCF was up at the half. They rolled 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: on to a ninety seven eighty four win over BYU, 81 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: a top twenty five ranked BYU team. And while a 82 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: lot of the folks out there talk about the top 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: of the Big Twelve. Johnny Dawkins turned one starter at 84 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: UCF from last year and by all accounts, I think 85 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: their nil budget is under three million dollars for basketball. 86 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: He has them twenty and seven overall and nine and 87 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: six in the Big Twelve. They led by as many 88 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: as thirty six at one point last night against BYU. 89 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 2: A very impressive win and a likely tournament berth coming 90 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: up for UCF, who has been awesome this year. Tonight 91 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: college basketball. How about the Xavier Musketeers who were originally 92 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: scheduled to play yesterday on the road at Providence that 93 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 2: has been moved to tonight, And we mentioned the John 94 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: Goodman tweet yesterday suggesting that Providence would be a team 95 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: that would go after Richard Patino. And if he went 96 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: after Richard Patino, according to John Goodman, then Richard Patino 97 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: would certainly listen. Richard Patino, who has been very upfront, 98 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: very open when he's given the chance to talk about 99 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: an hour ago, he tweeted, this big opportunity tonight at Providence, 100 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: gonna be tough, fired up about what we are building 101 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: at Xavier for years to come. Let's go x There 102 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: you go. So I love this guy, I do too, 103 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: like lean into it. Hey, I heard that stuff. I'm 104 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: just gonna shoot it down. 105 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I don't understand why more people don't 106 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 3: do this. It's just honest to control the narrative. 107 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 5: Yep. 108 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: So shout out to Richard Patino. They're in action of Providence. Also, 109 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: the Norse are in action tonight at the South and State, 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: and a good one in the Big East. Saint John's 111 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: at Yukon happening tonight as well. Much of our number 112 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: one today will be spent on what Duke Tobin and 113 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor had to say yesterday at the NFL Scouting Combine. 114 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: We have audio of that that we'll get to uh 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: in our number one as well. Did before we get 116 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: to it, did anything jump out specifically when you heard 117 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: them speak yesterday, Austin. 118 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, there was. There was a couple of things. 119 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 3: I think the way that Duke Tobin described where they're 120 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: currently at with Dalton Reisner, I found interesting. The way 121 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: that he feels like they have a super Bowl caliber 122 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: roster right now. Yeah I didn't. I don't agree with that. 123 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: He even says I might be the only person who 124 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: feels that way. Hight Duke you are. And then there 125 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: was a little bit of stuff about best player available 126 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: and reaching for players in the draft that I thought 127 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: was pretty interesting. But he kept using the word attack 128 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: and he kept using the word resources. So to me, 129 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: that tells me that he feels like he knows and 130 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: that the Bengals know what their plan of attack is 131 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: going to be and how to use the resources to 132 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: achieve that plan. That all the right things. I think 133 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: felt like. He also used the term all in a lot. 134 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: There is a little bit of conversation about all in 135 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: that we will get to as well. That comes up 136 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: in our number one this afternoon. Some other stuff that 137 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: I wrote down. How about the alternate jersey that the 138 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: cyclones are going to be unfailing. Did you see this 139 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: skyline jersey? 140 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: I did. It's Chili week. It is chili week. That 141 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: is absolute fire what the cyclones are bringing out. It 142 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: is a Boucie was rocking it. Buccie Maine saw on 143 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: a tweet February twenty eighth that the cyclones will be 144 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati three Ways for a night. That's cool. Now, 145 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: those things are are absolute fire. I looked them up 146 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: two hundred dollars on the price tag. Okay for the 147 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: Cincinnati three way for a night. Those again, go look 148 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: him up for yourself. They are really really sharp jerseys 149 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: and good on the Cincinnati Cyclones. 150 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's coming up. I mean that's this Saturday, and 151 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: that's three days from now. Yes, and again, part of 152 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: your big signing bonus allows you the flexibility much like 153 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin. You have the resources to attack the Cincinnati 154 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: three ways sweater that the Cyclones are going to be wearing, 155 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: and you'll be wearing one, I assume on Monday. 156 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. What else do we have? The 157 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: Jags and Commanders will be the host teams for the 158 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: London games, that's right this upcoming season. What does that 159 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: mean for said Bengals. 160 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: Well, we don't really know for sure, but we know 161 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 3: that the Bengals are slated to travel to Washington next 162 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: year to play the Commanders. You may remember they played 163 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 3: them when they were the Redskins back in twenty sixteen, 164 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: I think in London. The only time the Bengals have 165 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: ever played in London. That was a twenty four to 166 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: twenty four tie that the Bengals and Washington played to 167 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: that day. I think there's a decent chance they could 168 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: run it back. Okay, I think the last time the 169 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 3: Bengals played in Landover, Maryland, where that dump of a 170 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 3: stadium is dump, was twenty twelve and the first play 171 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 3: of the game was a reverse pass to Mohammed Sanu 172 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 3: in which he threw a seventy yard touchdown to AJ Green. 173 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: Do you remember that, I do, Mohammed Sanu. 174 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: I think that's the last time they played at that stadium, 175 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: and I think it would be crazy. It could be 176 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: the last time they ever play there, honestly, because they're 177 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 3: building a new stadium for the Commandos. Yeah, and if 178 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: they play in London this year, who's who knows? 179 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: True? Well, said man. Time flies when you're having fun. 180 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: It really does, although it does feel like it's later 181 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 2: in the week than a Wednesday. Today. We'll take your 182 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: phone calls along the way five one, three, seven, four, nine, 183 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. I had a lot of folks in my 184 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: mentions last night, and a lot of folks sent it 185 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: to me that were big mad that the former quarterback 186 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Bearcats, Brendan Soorsby, who is now a 187 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: Texas Tech Red Raider, tweeted out last night following the 188 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: win for Texas Tech over U. 189 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 6: See. 190 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: He said, Reckam, let's go Texas Tech men's basketball.

I don't have any problem 193 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: with that, and I really don't have as much problem 194 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: with him celebrating a win for Texas Tech. That is 195 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 2: his school. It's a school that's paying him a lot 196 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: of money. To me, it's just kind of where we 197 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: are as a collegiate athletics spot right now that a 198 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,359 Speaker 2: quarterback who was literally here playing football, what in December, 199 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: at the end of the year, less than less than 200 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: three months ago, Brendan Sorsby was a Cincinnati Bearcat.

This happened 336 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 3: after right he talked for yes he talks for eighteen 337 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: minutes on the podium yesterday and then met for another 338 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: thirty six minutes. Holy moly, with the local media. I 339 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 3: think it actually might have been closer to fifty six 340 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 3: minutes total something. I don't know what it was, but 341 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: there's a lot of really really good stuff in here. 342 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: And James said, yeah, you can use it. I just 343 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 3: want to want people know where to find it, So 344 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: shout out to James Man. You can find it on 345 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app just search Cincinnati Bengals Talk. Here's the 346 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: first five minutes. We will react to Duke Tobin the 347 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: last couple of. 348 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 9: Years, whether it be at the trade deadline or in 349 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 9: the off season. The concept of like a big swing 350 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 9: is always associated, but the Bengals making big swing and 351 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 9: really trying to go all in with Burrow and the. 352 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 10: Receivers out talking about specific players, how do you guys view. 353 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 11: Like that thought? 354 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 10: From a fan, Maybe. 355 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 12: We're always looking if there's an opportunity that we feel 356 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 12: warrants it that you have to give up things and 357 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 12: when you take a big swing, there's a big chance 358 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 12: you miss and it can stay with you for a 359 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 12: long time and keep you in the dugout. If we're 360 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 12: staying with baseball and we don't want to stay in 361 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 12: the dugout, that's not a place we want to be, 362 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 12: you know, and you don't get to take a big 363 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 12: swing for free and big swings require big compensation, and 364 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 12: I thought we. 365 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 4: I mean, I would probably argue. 366 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 12: That one of the best trades in the league this 367 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 12: year was springing Joe Flacco to us because it re 368 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 12: energized us and it gave us a chance to take 369 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 12: on So when things present themselves like that, we will 370 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 12: take advantage of it, but it's got to be worth it, 371 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 12: and we don't ignore opportunities that are out there. We 372 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 12: never do a lot of big swings. And most people 373 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 12: aren't Tree Tree changing teams in the middle of the 374 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 12: year because they're doing great for their team or their 375 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 12: team is doing great, and. 376 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: There are a lot of opportunities out there. 377 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 12: And uh, and I think the off season is the 378 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 12: time to build your football team from the ground up, 379 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 12: and that's what we're going to try to do this offseason. 380 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 13: You said pass rushers king last month, and that's obviously 381 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 13: something you guys are probably focused on. 382 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 4: Are the pass rushers out there? And free agency. 383 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 13: I know you still have to get the deals done, 384 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 13: but it's the. 385 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 12: Talent there at bays On there are there is, there's 386 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 12: thirty one other team thirty thirty one other teams hunting, 387 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 12: you know, but there are guys that we like that 388 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 12: we can envision in our scheme elevating our team, and 389 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 12: we'll see, you know. 390 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 4: They have to be interested in us. They got to 391 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 4: make it to free agency. 392 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 12: It's got to fit within the context of what we're 393 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 12: talking about and all those things. It's also a good, 394 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 12: you know, rush draft. There's a lot of guys in 395 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 12: the draft that we have high regard for, so it's 396 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 12: exciting for us when we look at, you know, how 397 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 12: would this guy fit. Each guy's a little different analysis. 398 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 12: This guy's probably going to be at this range. How 399 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 12: would he fit, Would he elevate us enough? How would 400 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 12: this guy fit? What does it do with our current team? 401 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 12: How do we deploy the guys that we have on 402 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 12: our roster. I don't think that the guys that we 403 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 12: have on our roster can't elevate our pass rush because 404 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 12: I think we have a lot of guys that are 405 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 12: young in their career that can elevate our pass rush. 406 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 12: You got to get the third down to get that 407 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 12: pass rush, and so it's it's a two pronged approach. 408 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 12: You want to be good on first and second down 409 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 12: as well, and it's not just who's doing it, but 410 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 12: what they're doing. And we're working on all those areas 411 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 12: to to get it fixed. But there are opportunities in 412 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 12: every bucket of bringing players in, and we're going to 413 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 12: look at all the buckets. 414 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 14: What's the biggest difference to between taking a big swing 415 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 14: and free agency and a big swing in the draft. 416 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 14: From your perspective, if there is such a thing in 417 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 14: the draft, Well, the draft is you're giving up the 418 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 14: pick that you're that you're using on the player. 419 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 12: Sometimes in free agency it's a financial obligation that that 420 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 12: you're giving. If you're talking trades, sometimes you're giving up 421 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 12: future players that could be long term players for you. 422 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: You know. It's we don't want to throw away chances at. 423 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 12: Finding guys, you know, in the draft that can be 424 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 12: long term, real guys for us, you know, And we've 425 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 12: found guys in about every round that have changed our 426 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 12: team and have been exceptional players. And so when you 427 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 12: give up those picks, you're giving up the chance at 428 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 12: that you're giving up the opportunity to find those guys, 429 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 12: and you need those guys on your team. You can't 430 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 12: have a team full of high paid guys. The cap 431 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 12: doesn't support that. So you have to have guys in 432 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 12: their rookie contracts providing snaps and roles for you and 433 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 12: developing in their careers. You just have to because you 434 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 12: can't have a bunch of twenty million dollar players in 435 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 12: every position. 436 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 4: It's just it's not feasible. The math doesn't work. 437 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 12: And so when you give up a young player that's 438 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 12: a four year player and a chance at you know, 439 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 12: finding Geno Atkins in the fourth round, you just. 440 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 4: Give up that fourth round pick. Nobody cares. 441 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 12: But if you name Geno Atkins, everybody would care that 442 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 12: you didn't have him. It would have affected us pretty 443 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 12: heavily if we did not have him. So we try 444 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 12: to maintain as many opportunities to find good young players 445 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 12: as we can. Now, there are definite needs that our 446 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 12: football team has, and those are the areas we'll try 447 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 12: to fill in with more proven veterans. 448 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's part one there with with Duke Tobin, 449 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: a lot of emphasis on the big swings, and I 450 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 2: get that. The second part of that past rush being King, 451 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: I get where Duke is going with that. That the 452 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: part there in Traggs Mike Patai asked it what's the 453 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: difference of a big swing in free agency versus the draft. 454 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: I don't think you can operate under the assumption of, well, 455 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: you know, Gena Watkins was a fourth round pick like that. 456 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: You just can't do that. You're not going to find 457 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 2: those more often than not. You got to take the 458 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 2: big swings. What I think is interesting is Duke Tobin 459 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: took exactly zero time Austin to pound himself on the 460 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 2: back of up against Joe Flacco. 461 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: Again, well not only the Joe Flacco, but also, hey, 462 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: don't forget I drafted Geno Atkins too. 463 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 2: I mean too. Just let's pat that back a little bit. 464 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: Here and you'll you'll hear In the second part, he 465 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: reminds people that he drafted Andrew Whitworth as well. Like 466 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: my translation of that is they're not going to be 467 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: going and getting Max Crosby, correct, They're not going to 468 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: make a big move to move up or maybe even 469 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 3: back in the draft to give up draft capital. To me, 470 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: this was his indication of, yes, we're gonna go sign 471 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 3: some veteran free agents to help the team. We like 472 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: the pass rushers that are available, but we're not going 473 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 3: to empty the bank. Yeah, to go and get them, 474 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: and the bank being financially with a guy like Hendrickson 475 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 3: or Crosby, and also the value that they put into 476 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 3: draft picks, which clearly is quite a bit. If they 477 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 3: view every single draft pick as Geno Atkins, well then 478 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 3: hell yeah, he's never going to trade one. 479 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: My thing is this, you know he pushed back away 480 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 2: with I believe it was Kelsey Conway's question about the 481 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: big swing, and Duke says, we're always looking, but he 482 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 2: goes right into well, you know, with big swings, there's 483 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: a big chance you swing and miss. I don't like 484 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 2: that thought process, right, That's the mentality I want to 485 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: get away from, because that is pulling back more than 486 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: you are willing to go. Well, you know, a big 487 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: swing requires big compensation, and when you take those big swings, 488 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: there's a big chance that you miss. And then you 489 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: go back and like, no offense to Joe Flacco. I 490 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: didn't view Joe Flacco as a big swing last year. 491 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: I agree, but he goes to Joe Flacco as the 492 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: big swing that they made. I dislike the thought process 493 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: of there's a chance we miss, and that's going to 494 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: hold us back from maybe taking that big swing. Yeah. 495 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: I think when you play it overwhelmingly safe, you. 496 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: Get the results where they're at. 497 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I understand that if you play with fire, 498 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 3: you might get burnt. That's that is a real possibility, 499 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 3: but also you can do something really special at the 500 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 3: same time, yep. And I think you have to understand 501 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 3: when you're able or more willing to take on the 502 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 3: risk because you can withstand if you miss. So right now, 503 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: when you have a Burrow and a Chase and a 504 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 3: Higgins and you have good young players on defense, I 505 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 3: feel like now's the time when you're more prepared to 506 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 3: take a big swing because if you miss, you can 507 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 3: still withstand some of that and financially down the road 508 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 3: they still have flexibility. And so yes, it's not always 509 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: the right time to take a big swing. If Andy 510 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 3: Dalton's your quarterback, if Jake Browning's your quarterback, if David 511 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: Klingler's your quarterback, it's not the time to take a 512 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 3: huge swing. But there are times when it's warranted because 513 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 3: of the way you've built the rest of the roster. 514 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 3: And I think that's where he's missing a little bit. 515 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: Let's take a break, let's come back, and let's get 516 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: to the second part of what Duke Tobin had to say, 517 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: and we'll react to that as well. 518 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 3: Maybe my favorite five minutes of Duke Tobin ever in 519 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: the twenty almost thirty years of Duke Tobin being at 520 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 3: this organization. The next five minutes are maybe my favorite 521 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: five five minutes I've ever heard him speak. 522 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: That happens next. Stick with us on ESPN fifteen thirty 523 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. Give a present to the planet for the. 524 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: You've found Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty. 525 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 2: Welcome back our number one thanks to Skyline Chilly. Thank 526 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: you for listening to ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 527 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 2: Part two of what Duke Tobin had to say? This 528 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: as coined by Austin before the break, your favorite five 529 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 2: minutes of Duke Tobin audio. 530 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 3: And it starts with a great question from Kelsey Conway. 531 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 3: How do you think you guys have done excuse me 532 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: with Jeff Hobson, my apologies. 533 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 4: How do you think you guys have done the last 534 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 4: year or two sticking to your board as opposed to 535 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 4: maybe reaching for means or you thank you. Yeah, it's 536 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 4: always a big conversation. 537 00:29:54,200 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 12: In general, what I prefer is staying with in the 538 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 12: bucket of player that we evaluate as worthy of that pick. 539 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: And not going down. 540 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 12: Now within that bucket, sometimes we'll take need, and so 541 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 12: it's always a big conversation of his need. More important, 542 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 12: if there's a glaring player that we have evaluated that 543 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 12: we believe is truly at a level higher than everybody else, 544 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 12: even though they might fit a need, we'll probably just 545 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 12: go with that guy because in a year that might 546 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 12: be something that looked really smart. And we've done that 547 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 12: in the past with guys. You know, Wit was that way. 548 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 12: You know, he was the best player Availa when we 549 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 12: took him. And when we have a guy like that 550 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,239 Speaker 12: that stands out on our board, we're normally not going 551 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 12: to pass on it. 552 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 4: Do you think you I mean, that's what I mean, 553 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 4: that's what you try to do. 554 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 12: But I mean, there there are times when maybe we 555 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 12: had guys at the bottom of a bucket and guys 556 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 12: at the top of the bucket, and we've decided to 557 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 12: go with immediate need, and it's always a temptation. And 558 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 12: when we do that and it doesn't work out, that's 559 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 12: my fault. But our philosophy is we want guys worthy 560 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 12: of the pick that we're taking. 561 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 4: Regardless of the position. 562 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 10: Andrew Whitwerth said last week, like this is the biggest 563 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 10: off season in the Joker era. And I know that 564 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 10: you guys internally don't get up differently from one off season. 565 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 6: To the other. 566 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 10: Like you have your process and you go through it 567 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 10: that you're obviously human and you know when you have 568 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 10: a quarterback, you know as age, you know you have 569 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 10: a receiver. How has all of that affected you in 570 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 10: the way that you construct the roster if it has 571 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 10: changed anything at all? 572 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 4: With you with me pretty full speed all the time. 573 00:31:53,520 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I this has never left my mind. Certainly. 574 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: I'm keenly aware that we have to improve. 575 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 12: When you come off of a bad season like we 576 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 12: have and we didn't get over the hump and win 577 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 12: these games that I felt like we should have won, 578 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 12: that we could have won, it is hard and you 579 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 12: need to improve enough to where those are losses turn 580 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 12: into wins. 581 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 4: And that's what we're focused on. We know where our 582 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 4: team is. 583 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 12: If I didn't believe in our team, I'd be, you know, 584 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 12: doing what Ben wants me to do and dumping all 585 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 12: the players and all those things, you know, But we 586 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 12: got a team that can win. 587 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 4: In my opinion win it all. That's my opinion. 588 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 12: Nobody else believes it fine, But am I aware of that? 589 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 4: Yes? 590 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 12: And do I think that we can make additions this 591 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 12: offseason that push us over the hump? 592 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 4: I do. 593 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 10: And then just to follow up on that, because we 594 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 10: talked to Zach a lot more. Obviously the head coach. 595 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 10: When Bruckers are going a certain way, like a coach's 596 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 10: job security is always brought up. And how did this 597 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 10: past year, with the scrutiny from whether it be like 598 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 10: national media or from the fans, how did that affect you? 599 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 10: Did you have to learn how to block the noise out? 600 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 10: I mean, obviously you've been doing this for so long 601 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 10: and every year it's different, but the magnitude behind like 602 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 10: the Burroughs, and it just nationally it feels like the 603 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 10: Bangles are under like a bigger spotlight than they might 604 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 10: have ever been in a franchise. 605 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 9: So how did you deal with all the noise around? 606 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 15: It? 607 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 16: Disappointing. 608 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 12: We don't mind being under the spotlight. I mean I 609 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 12: don't spend a lot of time on that. I view 610 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 12: that world as kind of the upside down. You know, 611 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 12: if you're there, you're looking for the exit. As fast 612 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 12: as you can get there, and you probably shouldn't want 613 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 12: to go. There isn't any exterior force that can put 614 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 12: more pressure on me than I put on myself. And 615 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 12: when we're not waiting, I put more pressure on myself 616 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 12: than any one of you can or any can. 617 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 4: Believe me, it hurts me more. 618 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 12: And and so you know, my motivation doesn't come from 619 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 12: national media or fans' perception. It comes from me and 620 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 12: I feel it, you know, I feel it before they 621 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 12: do because I can see it happening, maybe before they can. 622 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 12: And so that stuff doesn't really year to year. 623 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 4: Maybe there's more, maybe there's. 624 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 12: Less, but my motivation comes from within me. And believe me, 625 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 12: I'm harder on myself than anybody outside of myself can be. 626 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: All Right, So that is part two there of Duke 627 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 2: Tobin a lot of good stuff, and credit the media 628 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 2: as well for some of the questions that we're asked there. 629 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 2: I think it's obvious it's the biggest offseason and Duke 630 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 2: Tobin is not shying away from that. I don't think 631 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: this team as currently constructed can win it all. I 632 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: think they got heck of a lot of work to do. 633 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: That was first of all. 634 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 3: I loved those answers, like, that's what I want to 635 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: hear as a Bengals fan. 636 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 17: I like that. 637 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 3: And to peel back the curtain of best player versus 638 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 3: biggest need. Yeah now they Yeah, that was cool to say, Okay, 639 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 3: we want to pick a player that we think is worthy, 640 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 3: worthy of this spot in the draft. Glad to hear that. 641 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 3: He also admitted sometimes we don't and when it doesn't work, 642 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 3: that's my fault. Yes, accountability from Duke Tobin. Great job. 643 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 3: Duke also hypocritical. At one point says I'm keenly aware 644 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: that we need to improve. Thirty seconds later says I 645 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 3: think we can win the Super Bowl. 646 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 2: Yep. 647 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 3: Those two things don't work hand in hand. And that's 648 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 3: what worries me about his ability to actually build the roster. 649 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 3: I mean, you can say all the right things, and 650 00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 3: he did, but you got to actually execute it. And 651 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 3: you've got to be able and be willing and be 652 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 3: open to the idea of changing up your process a 653 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 3: little bit more than what they have been. And we 654 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 3: can bring some of that back tomorrow. Because he did 655 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 3: go on to say he was asked about the idea 656 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 3: of less voices and more voices in the room, and 657 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 3: I think that answer is interesting, and he also kind 658 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 3: of talked about the addition of the scouts and the 659 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 3: data and stuff like that that they're working with. All 660 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: this is good, but does it translate? 661 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 2: Is the question? I think the overall out of those 662 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 2: ten minutes, the overall team of can you win it 663 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 2: all without taking a big swing? I think this offseason 664 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 2: is a big question because, as you mentioned, and it's 665 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: what I wrote down here, you can't talk about how 666 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 2: much the roster needs to get better and then in 667 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 2: the same sentence or the same question or answer session, 668 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 2: say that we have a team that can win it all. 669 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 2: This team right now can't win it all the way 670 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: they are currently constructed. You can't win it all. What 671 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 2: can you do to get there? And does that require 672 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 2: a big swing going forward? Let's do this because I 673 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 2: know we've got two parts of Zach Taylor as well, 674 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: and only got one segment when we come back, So 675 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 2: let's let's change it up for halftime. Let's recap last 676 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 2: night what happened in Lubbock, Texas, get a little West 677 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: Miller audio, and then we'll use that first longer segment 678 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 2: in hour number two to go through what Zach Taylor 679 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 2: had to say in the same setting speaking to members 680 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 2: of the media yesterday at the combine. So we'll wrap 681 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 2: the Bearcats from last night, and then to start our 682 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 2: number two, you'll hear from Zach Taylor and what he 683 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 2: had to say and Austin and I's reactions to that 684 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 2: as well. All still ahead since he three to sixty 685 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Hey Alexa, what's 686 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 2: going on in the NFL? 687 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: Getting ESPN fifteen thirty from iHeartRadio. 688 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 2: Hey, sorry, I'm back DESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 689 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 2: Who were you doing, man? I was catching up with 690 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: mo is the first I've seen mo since last night. Oh, 691 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: and we were breaking down some of the game, the 692 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: loss in Lubbock, Texas, and Moe put it very well. 693 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 2: There was a point, Austin last night you mentioned the 694 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 2: start of the game. UC came out and made their 695 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 2: first nine baskets of the game and it was twenty 696 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 2: three to eighteen, and you kind of thought at that point, Man, 697 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 2: if you go nine for nine to start the game, 698 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 2: ideally you got maybe a double digit lead. Early on. 699 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: They had no answer for Texas Tech. They had no 700 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 2: answer last night for Christian Anderson thirty one points, eleven rebounds, 701 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 2: seven assists. For the point guard for Texas Tech, Donovan 702 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 2: Atwell made four threes last night. This is the Texas 703 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: Tech team. I give Texas Tech credit because they were 704 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: a team that liked to play through their big JT Toppin. 705 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 2: They lose him and they have completely changed up their moo. 706 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 2: They spread you out, they beat you off the dribble, 707 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 2: and they have shooters spread out around Christian Anderson. It's 708 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: a very tough ask and at times last night I 709 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 2: thought UC looked tired. You know, Saturday at Kansas, what 710 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 2: went into that win? A turnaround to play on Tuesday. 711 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: It just didn't look like they had their legs at 712 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: times last night. Mentioned before, Texas Tech only missed twenty 713 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 2: five shots on the night, and on the twenty five 714 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 2: shots they missed, they rebounded offensively twelve of them. They 715 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 2: shot fifty two percent from the field, forty percent from 716 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 2: the three point line. They out rebounded the Cincinnati Bearcats 717 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: by sixteen last night in a game that you see 718 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 2: loses eighty to sixty eight. Here is a little bit 719 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: of what Wes Miller had to say in opening up 720 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 2: his postgame press conference. 721 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 18: Coach for this season, your team has been excellent for 722 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 18: the most part at defensive rebounding. Opponents are getting twenty 723 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 18: six percent of their misshots back as offensive rebounds. But 724 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 18: it was a problem tonight twelve from for Texas Tech 725 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 18: nineteen second chance points. Did you feel that that was 726 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 18: the biggest difference in the game tonight? 727 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 2: I did. 728 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 4: I did. 729 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 2: I said that to the team just now. 730 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 15: I thought the offensive rebounding, the points off of offensive rebounding, 731 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 15: was the reason why the game wasn't a great game. 732 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 15: In the last minute of the game, you know, I 733 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 15: think if we checked the box there, we'd be in 734 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 15: position to win another big time game on the road. 735 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 2: But we weren't able to do that. You know, Christian 736 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: Anderson had a knight. 737 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 15: We're trying to put two to the ball like it 738 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 15: wasn't like we were just letting it happen. We're trying 739 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 15: to get it out of his hands. But he had 740 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 15: a big time night, and the offensive rebounding was difficult 741 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 15: for us. 742 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 19: I thought the piss the Caliti that they played download, 743 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 19: they got a chance to get away with a lot 744 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 19: of stuff that really gave them an advantage. But I 745 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 19: thought that gave them the advantage. That really gave some separation, 746 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 19: especially when you guys couldn't reciprocate on the other end. 747 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 15: Yeah, I got to choose my words carefully with stuff 748 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 15: like that, So I you know, just uh, next question, 749 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 15: you know, type of thing. 750 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: Okay, But not that I have a problem with your comment. 751 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 2: I just I'm I gotta. 752 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 15: Choose my words carefully and listen. 753 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: Uh, I don't. I don't ever want. 754 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 15: To sit here and say that there was a team 755 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 15: that was more physical than us. I thought our kids fight. 756 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: Was fine, but we. 757 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 15: We didn't have We weren't quicker to the ball tonight. 758 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 15: We weren't more physical tonight, and it was difficult because 759 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 15: got penalized for that a little bit too when we 760 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 15: tried to be I. 761 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 18: Don't think anybody's going to make the case the Texas 762 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 18: Tech is better without JT. Topping, But defending them in 763 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 18: some ways seems harder to me. He's such a dominant 764 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 18: figure when he's playing, they're going to him. He's going 765 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 18: to shoot. You know, he's hard to stop. But without 766 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 18: a man, the ball pops around, they drive, they kicked, 767 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 18: They've got great three point shooters. It's a very difficult 768 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 18: matchup for your team. 769 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 15: Defensively, well, I wouldn't say better either, you know, because 770 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 15: he's was the player here in our league. But they're 771 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 15: different and I feel like they've been energized. You know, 772 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 15: guys now that weren't playing or they weren't playing big minutes, 773 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 15: they're playing with great energy because they're getting their opportunity 774 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 15: and you can see they're getting a little bit of 775 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 15: a boost and that's to be expected. But he'll give 776 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 15: them credit for being able to respond and play without them. 777 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 19: A guy who didn't get all the stats that justify 778 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 19: he had a great game, Lawan wats He had thirteen points, 779 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 19: five rebounds. But they ran a lot of their offense 780 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 19: almost like Raymond Green threw him. 781 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 2: They passed it to him. 782 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 19: They do a lot of cuts up front, and it 783 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 19: seems like when they got one on one, he would 784 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 19: just back down and back down until a double team 785 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 19: came or if it didn't come. And since we're in 786 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 19: the second half or day they had him one on one, 787 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 19: there was so much action going up that he was 788 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 19: just picking a part with back cuts. 789 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 15: He's kind of like they used the Darien Williams kid 790 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 15: last year. He's kind of the same thing. So do 791 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 15: you double. We'd try to double him at the end 792 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 15: of the first half, they skip it and hit a 793 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 15: big three. You go play one on one. Well, we 794 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 15: got him to miss and then they get the offensive 795 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 15: rebound and that's when the an one occurs. 796 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 2: You know, he's a good passer. 797 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 15: I don't know if he can finish over top all night, 798 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 15: but if you let him pass and facilitate, and then 799 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 15: you don't box when you do get him to miss, 800 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 15: he can be very effective. 801 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 2: He heard us in the middle. 802 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 15: We're trying to cover the three point line and a 803 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 15: couple of times they get the ball to the middle 804 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 15: of the floor and we're taking two to Anderson and 805 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 15: we don't rotate over and they get a couple easy layups. 806 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 15: That'd be the third thing that happened tonight, I mean, 807 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 15: quite honestly. And Wats is a good decision making or facilitator. 808 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 15: He was the recipient of a couple of those plays, 809 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 15: not all of them, but a couple of them. 810 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 18: He got off to an incredible offensive start making your 811 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 18: first nine shots. Normally, you'd have some separation if that 812 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 18: were the case in the back of your mind where 813 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 18: you thinking we should be up more considering how well 814 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 18: we're shooting the ball. 815 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 15: Well, I thought I'd like to think about it that 816 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 15: way when I'm coaching. I just it was frustrated that 817 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 15: we weren't getting stops, you know, like that was frustrating, 818 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,840 Speaker 15: you know, because you just know you're playing against this 819 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,479 Speaker 15: is the number one offensive team in our league at home. 820 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 15: Like you said, they're playing with great rhythm. You could 821 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 15: see it when they played Kansas State in their last game, 822 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 15: and so you're you could see to start the game. 823 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 15: We weren't able to impact them the way that I 824 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 15: wanted our defense to impact him. 825 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: That was my concern. 826 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 15: You know, I didn't have a big problem with our offense, 827 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 15: but I thought we missed missed a couple like dayDay 828 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 15: got some great looks tonight, and he just wasn't in 829 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 15: a rhythm JC. I thought we executed to get him 830 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 15: a couple of wide open threes and pretty big moments, 831 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 15: you know, I thought, mood, you know, still is. He 832 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,399 Speaker 15: didn't make quite as many. It was very physical down 833 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 15: there with him in the post. But he's in a 834 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 15: pretty good rhythm so offensively other than some misshots, and 835 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 15: I didn't like us on the offensive board. I didn't 836 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 15: have a huge problem with this, but you know, not 837 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 15: doing a better job on the defensive glass, would it be? 838 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 15: Would be my complaint? 839 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 2: There is Wes Miller with Dan Hord and Terry Nelson. 840 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 2: After last night's lost to Texas tech u SE was 841 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,959 Speaker 2: led again by Mustapha Chom, who had twenty one points 842 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 2: and ten rebounds on the night, Bob Bob Miller twelve points, 843 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 2: Gisel James had twelve, and Jalen Celestine added fifteen points. 844 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 2: One of the key factors I thought for the Bearcats 845 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: last night as well. Only six points on two for 846 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 2: eight shooting from Dayde Thomas and just two bench points 847 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 2: collectively between Cincire, Harris Keishan Tillery and Tyler McKinley. I 848 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 2: don't know what it means for any outside chance of 849 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 2: UC making a run at the NCAA Tournament. I do 850 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 2: know this that would even require the next three wins 851 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 2: to have a conversation going to the Big twelve tournament 852 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 2: that starts on Saturday.

We just 897 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 21: want the best players that fit us, and we'll take 898 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 21: them how they come to us. 899 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 13: Are there certain things that those guys maybe have in 900 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 13: common that maybe you didn't have in previous years? 901 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 21: Uther, Well, I mean, if I'm drawing up my perfect player, 902 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 21: it's got great football intelligence, tremendous character, cares more about 903 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 21: others than cares about himself. Those are all things you want. 904 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 21: That's not always how. 905 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 2: They're gonna come. 906 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 21: Sometimes there's gonna be an alete talent level that is 907 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 21: maybe deficient in other areas, and you have to decide 908 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 21: what are we accepting of And those are decisions that 909 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 21: had to be opt to make. 910 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 11: For three years now, we've come to the combine and 911 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 11: asked you specifically about safety each year different players. Is 912 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 11: there anything you guys have learned in the process in 913 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 11: the last couple of years at that position that you're 914 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 11: hoping to take forward to when you guys figure out what. 915 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 21: Your plans are for especially think you know, I've seen 916 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 21: Jordan Battle continue to grow over the last several years, 917 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 21: and I've encouraged the direction that he's going and what 918 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 21: he's going to do for us in the future, especially 919 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 21: around a lot of other young players, the backers, we 920 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 21: have the corners, we have the guys up front, so 921 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 21: you know, we'll see how that position plays out for us. 922 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 21: But he's the guy that I continue to be excited about, 923 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 21: and I think he's only going to be better moving forward. 924 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 13: Can you learn from the free agents that you've added 925 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 13: at that position as you evaluate what we should look 926 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 13: for this or this could be a could have been 927 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 13: a red flag? 928 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 7: Or is it just in case? 929 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,399 Speaker 21: I would give you that. I think every year you're 930 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 21: just booking ad guys that you think can help you win. 931 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 2: Further you'll get from the playoffs, the last appearance. 932 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 22: What kind of impact does that have on the processes 933 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 22: that you'll go through in the offseason. 934 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 2: Instance, to prepare for each year. 935 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 21: I think the side of that is you don't want 936 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 21: to get You don't feel like just because you made 937 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 21: the playoffs, like we got it all figured out, you know, 938 00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 21: And so I think coming out of those playoff years, 939 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 21: I was always trying to find ways to keep it 940 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 21: fresh for the guys and change it up and not 941 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 21: let it be monotonous. And so that's no different when 942 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 21: you don't make it. I wish I was standing here 943 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 21: off of several playoff runs that we've had, but we're 944 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 21: not and so just got to continue to do whatever 945 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 21: whatever we feel is necessary to get the most other 946 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 21: players in the off season training camp so we can 947 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 21: go win some games and win the division, win the 948 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 21: playoffs being a championship games and and so that's that's 949 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 21: just what we're going to try to figure out way 950 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 21: to do. 951 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,720 Speaker 13: Is it harder to snop? Is it harder to almost 952 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 13: stop that snowball effect? Or does it feel harder than 953 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 13: it did when you guys started to go on these 954 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 13: runs and expectations excitment. 955 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 21: No, I don't think so. I think every year has 956 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 21: been a little bit unique, and we just got to 957 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 21: capitalize on this year and make it a great one. 958 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 23: You were talking about seizing on the continuity of your staff. 959 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 23: It sounded like, you know, you don't want to read 960 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 23: too much into that and get ahead of yourself, but yeah, 961 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 23: three organizations overhauling their staffs could be really meaningful. You know, 962 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 23: do you think that could actually be a meaningful difference. 963 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 21: I don't know. I don't know it could be. I'm 964 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 21: glad that we have continuity, So so what I have 965 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 21: to make a lot of changes and we're able to 966 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 21: be at the spot. We're here on February twenty fourth, 967 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 21: and we feel like we're in a great spot, knowing 968 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 21: these guys on all levels, being able to help Doke 969 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 21: and his crew, and so that's just where we're at. 970 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,919 Speaker 21: So I'm not going to speculate on how other teams 971 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,239 Speaker 21: are doing it and what positions right in or not. 972 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 15: Playing where any talking specifically about exactly what you need 973 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 15: position wise, but do you feel like the organization is 974 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 15: in a spot where you you kind of know what 975 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 15: you need and you know how to fix what went 976 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 15: wrong in the last year. 977 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,719 Speaker 21: So I feel like we're in a great spot where 978 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,919 Speaker 21: we'll all speak the same language and we're just ready 979 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 21: to have a. 980 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 13: Great Yearlar kind of account into specifics, but how much 981 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 13: did al schemes solidify over the last year knowing exactly 982 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 13: hitting that one. 983 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 21: I think with anything your first year, you're getting to 984 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 21: know these players, you're getting to know the coaches, your 985 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 21: opponents that you're facing, and so it evolved over the 986 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 21: course of the season. I think he's in a great 987 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 21: place with the confidence level he has and who we 988 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 21: have in the locker room and the potential that we 989 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 21: can add and so it's just exciting, you know. I 990 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 21: think that's the best word, is just where excited for 991 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 21: this offseason and to see how we can make our 992 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 21: team better. 993 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,839 Speaker 11: You look at the last couple of years, like there's 994 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 11: a term that a lot of people say in the 995 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 11: NFL coaches like adapt or die, like that you need 996 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 11: to be able to adapt year to year. It seems 997 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 11: like you have adopted a lot through different philosophies on 998 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 11: offense with Duke specific specifically, has he changed at all 999 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 11: in any of his processes in the way he evaluates 1000 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 11: players since you first started working with him. 1001 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 21: I think that's a question for him on how he's adopted. 1002 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 21: I think it's a phrase that can be overused. It's 1003 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 21: a fun phrase to say, and people just recited and 1004 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,240 Speaker 21: say that's that's the way it's got to be done. 1005 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 21: I've got a lot of belief and Duke and the 1006 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 21: scouting department close to all those guys believe in what 1007 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 21: they do, have a ton of confidence. Like the way 1008 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 21: that they utilize us as well, And again is this 1009 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 21: this is their show at this point, But I like 1010 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 21: the way that they empower us to supplement them and 1011 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 21: they want our thoughts and they want to all be 1012 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 21: on the same page, and we all want players that 1013 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 21: we all want doesn't mean that we're not gonna have 1014 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 21: disagreements at times about who this player is and how 1015 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,799 Speaker 21: we're going to utilize them. And that's why we make 1016 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 21: sure we have all those hard conversation. So we're in 1017 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 21: a great spot and I'm excited to see how we 1018 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 21: all come together and figure out who's going to join 1019 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 21: an AWK roam. 1020 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 2: All right, So I thought a couple of things stood 1021 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 2: out to me in that bit from Zach Taylor. One, 1022 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 2: he seemed to be very high in the praise for 1023 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,760 Speaker 2: Jordan Battle. We've asked the question is is Jordan Battle 1024 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 2: a player you can rely on next year opposite of 1025 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 2: a new safety or was Jordan Battle viewed as just 1026 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 2: much better than than what Genostone was? And that was 1027 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,959 Speaker 2: more of an indictment on Geno Stone. Zach went into 1028 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,800 Speaker 2: detail on players He's looking for high football i Q, 1029 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,720 Speaker 2: high character guys are gonna put the team first before 1030 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 2: the actual player. He talked about the staff continuity, a 1031 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 2: couple things that are interesting there at the end for me, Austin, 1032 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 2: he made two references to say we're in a great 1033 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 2: spot again, I know that's a lot of coach speak. 1034 00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 2: I don't think they're in the best spot. I think 1035 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 2: that I have work to do to get back to 1036 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 2: that spot. And I would like to highlight that a 1037 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 2: little bit more of you know what, we were not 1038 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: where we want to be. We missed the playoffs last year. 1039 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 2: If we were in a great spot and where we 1040 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,240 Speaker 2: wanted to be, then then we would have gone further 1041 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 2: last year. What happened last year wasn't good enough. We're 1042 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,359 Speaker 2: working to get ourselves to a great spot. And then 1043 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: he did he was noncommittal on Duke's process, but if 1044 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 2: he caught there at the end, he did say this 1045 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 2: is their show right now, meaning they've got a lot 1046 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,360 Speaker 2: of the say and they're going to obviously collaborate, but 1047 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 2: he didn't he did use the term the phrase that 1048 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 2: this is their show speaking of Duke and the scouting 1049 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 2: department as the combine gets underway. Those are just the 1050 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 2: things that that I wrote down that kind of stood 1051 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,919 Speaker 2: out to me from from that first tidbit of Zach. 1052 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 3: I would argue that what he means by we're in 1053 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 3: a good spot is that we're in a good spot 1054 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 3: to fix the football team. I would hope that's what 1055 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 3: he means, said, you know the lens of the scouting combine. Yeah, 1056 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 3: I get where you're coming from. I'm hoping maybe I'm 1057 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,720 Speaker 3: looking at it through rose colored glasses, that he's thinking 1058 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 3: we're in a good spot to fix what's been wrong. 1059 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,280 Speaker 3: Jordan Battle has been talked about a lot. He was asked, 1060 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,919 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin was asked about him, and Zach was asked 1061 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 3: about him. I think he's going to be a piece 1062 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,399 Speaker 3: of this team moving forward. I think he stepped up 1063 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 3: the part about Al's scheme solidifying towards the end of 1064 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 3: the year. There's been some chatter about this over the 1065 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks that, you know, more people study 1066 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 3: the film, the more they see what the players did, 1067 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 3: the more they see how Al Golden adjusted. You see 1068 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 3: and insert players like Jalen Davis who finally got their chance. 1069 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,319 Speaker 3: It's felt like it clicked for Al Golden. So I 1070 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 3: hope that's part of being in a good spot, that 1071 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, now we have a full understanding. And 1072 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 3: Duke even said when he talked on the podium that 1073 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 3: because the season went awry and you have a month 1074 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,400 Speaker 3: extra head start, they feel like they are in a 1075 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 3: much better spot right now than they have been in 1076 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 3: years past. And if you remember, they hired Golden like 1077 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 3: right before the Combine last year, after the National Championship game. 1078 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 3: So I hope all of that is is working in 1079 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 3: their favor. And you know, I think the question about 1080 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 3: the adaptation of Duke and how he adapts his process, 1081 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,720 Speaker 3: I don't think you can ever argue that Zach hasn't 1082 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 3: been willing to change, whether it's the way that training 1083 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 3: camp is structured, the way that Mini Campus structured, the 1084 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 3: way that they do things to you know, whether it's 1085 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 3: joint practices to not having joint practices, the more padded 1086 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 3: practice like run scheme, all of it. Zach is very 1087 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 3: open to change. I don't think you can say that 1088 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 3: about the other part of the organization, and I do 1089 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 3: agree with you. I felt like there was a little 1090 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 3: bit of a this is what there is, this is 1091 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,959 Speaker 3: their show, this is what they do, this is their show. 1092 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 2: Now. 1093 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 3: I thought that was a little bit interesting. That was 1094 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 3: part one. Let's get to part two. So he had 1095 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,399 Speaker 3: made mention on the podium about being open to Dan 1096 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,880 Speaker 3: Pitcher calling plays. But you know, just because he's a 1097 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 3: professional and We're glad to see Jay Morris in his back. 1098 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 3: Shout out to jib absolutely, because Jay's a professional. He 1099 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 3: asked Zach for some clarification on those cobbids to start. 1100 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 24: Was it when you're up on the podium and you're talking 1101 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 24: about play calling and pitch you said it was something 1102 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:18,440 Speaker 24: you'd be open to. 1103 00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 21: What were you going to be an oc to call 1104 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 21: play somewhere else? 1105 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,919 Speaker 13: Yeah, I just want to do Okay, did that ever? 1106 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,439 Speaker 13: Has that come up with the idea of maybe Dan 1107 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 13: calling plays to keep him here or does that not 1108 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 13: a bit? 1109 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 21: I think we have a good process. People might not 1110 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 21: believe me when I say that we got a really 1111 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 21: good process that we follow. To say that he doesn't 1112 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 21: call plays just isn't true, Like it's that should be, 1113 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 21: that should be the TV show right as you actually 1114 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,959 Speaker 21: get to hear a headset for the entirety of the game, 1115 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 21: and I think people would say, Okay, this is overbolming. 1116 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 21: Clearly there's communication between every single play and every single series. 1117 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 21: What's the difference in you saying and me saying it. 1118 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 21: We're all on the same page trying to get the 1119 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 21: same outcome. So but there there obviously is something to 1120 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 21: going somewhere and be in the primary play caller. I 1121 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 21: understand about all that entails, but he and I co 1122 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 21: exist really well together. He calls a lot of the 1123 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 21: plays that we run. They're just coming out of my 1124 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 21: mouth when I speak it to Joe and and so 1125 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 21: we're on the same page. And I think it's the 1126 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 21: best process that works well for us. 1127 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 13: We didn't subscribe to that TV show. If you want 1128 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 13: to put it out there. 1129 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 21: Get Peyton. I'm sure you know he can do another 1130 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 21: Payton show. And and uh, that's the next thing is 1131 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 21: under the headset, maybe under the headset, and you can 1132 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 21: really go a whole show of coaches talking to coaches, 1133 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 21: and coaches talking to quarterbacks, and quarterbacks telling coaches in 1134 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 21: the huddle shut up even though the coach can't hear you. 1135 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 21: I just want to talk to my guys. So that 1136 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 21: that's the next show. 1137 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 13: Do you think that's an advantage to the headman being 1138 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 13: a guy calling the places? 1139 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 2: I mean you think that's an advantage. 1140 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 21: Maybe, oh, Jeff uh? I mean yes for us from 1141 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 21: from a continuity standpoint, yes, because the scheme doesn't change 1142 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 21: other teams. The head coach doesn't call the plays when 1143 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 21: the coordinators do it, and they've had a lot of success. 1144 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 21: So it's just what fits your team, what fits the 1145 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 21: coaches you have, the players you have. Everywhere is a 1146 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 21: little bit different for us. I feel like this is 1147 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 21: what fits us best. 1148 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 3: It's the biggest thing I'll push back on. I knew 1149 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 3: you were gonna love this, and I knew you were 1150 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 3: gonna love it. 1151 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 2: It's the biggest thing I'll push back on because it's 1152 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 2: been like this from the start. And yes, there are 1153 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 2: times where the offense is elite and the offense is 1154 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 2: operating at a high level, but there are also times 1155 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 2: that this offense gets disjointed. They disappear at times during games. 1156 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 2: There is constantly, constantly struggles with getting the play in 1157 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 2: late burning timeouts. You see as it goes on, more 1158 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 2: visible frustration from Joe to Zach on the field. I 1159 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,080 Speaker 2: just I think from start to finish, at times it's clunky, 1160 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 2: and he goes back to the word continuity, and that's 1161 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,680 Speaker 2: the main reason he's gonna continue to call plays while 1162 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 2: also uh praising Dan Pitcher and his role. And my 1163 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 2: question is, and my pushback to that would be, if 1164 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 2: Dan Pitcher is already so involved day to day play 1165 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,880 Speaker 2: to play series, the series and the in the game 1166 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 2: plan already, what would be the big change in the 1167 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 2: continuity of Dan Pitcher being the one to call the 1168 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,040 Speaker 2: plays and Zach being the one to give the input. 1169 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 2: I'll always that will be one of my bigger pushing points, 1170 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 2: especially now that that you're seeing this many years of 1171 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 2: coming short in the playoffs. And I get it, Joe's 1172 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 2: been out, defense has been atrocious, different quarterbacks calling different 1173 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 2: I get all of that, and I commend them for 1174 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 2: adjusting on the fly. I just to me, going into 1175 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 2: this offseason, I wish there would have been a little 1176 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 2: bit more conversation of Okay, we're going to run this back, 1177 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 2: but Dan Pitcher is going to be the primary caller. Zach, 1178 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna focus on the endgame. You're gonna have a 1179 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 2: say in obviously the plays and when to use the timeouts, 1180 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 2: but float around the sideline a little more. 1181 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,320 Speaker 3: That's how I would have been happiest I have said, 1182 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 3: and I stand by. I think there are parts of 1183 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 3: the process which Zach references as being really good. I 1184 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 3: think there are parts of the process that can be 1185 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 3: cleaned up. There were some pre snap penalties, there were 1186 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 3: some delay of games, there were some headset issues. Whatever 1187 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 3: it is, like, I think that needs to be cleaned up, 1188 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 3: and maybe the solution to it is someone else's the 1189 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,440 Speaker 3: person calling the plays. And I think the hesitation of 1190 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 3: saying it's an advantage. I thought that was an interesting, 1191 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,439 Speaker 3: you know, kind of back and forth with Jeff Hobson there. 1192 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 3: But I will also say this, I just talked about 1193 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 3: how willing Zach Taylor is to change and how open 1194 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 3: he is to adaptation. He has brought in guys from 1195 01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 3: external sources on offense to change his run game, to 1196 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,520 Speaker 3: change some of his concepts. With a guy like Justin Riscotti, 1197 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 3: who I continue to pound the table for this is 1198 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 3: a guy who has not been afraid to change, but 1199 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 3: for this he will not. And so that makes me 1200 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 3: feel like maybe it really isn't a big deal if 1201 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 3: he's willing to change everything else, but he doesn't feel 1202 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 3: the need to change this either. It's a massive blind spot, 1203 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 3: and I don't think it is because of the results. 1204 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 3: Although you're right there are issues that need to be 1205 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 3: worked out, and are two they happen too frequently, And 1206 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 3: the other part is like, is this really that big 1207 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 3: of a deal If it's the one thing he's doesn't 1208 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 3: feel like is worthy of a change. 1209 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 2: And I think there's a pride sense to it as well. 1210 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 2: Sure like I think part of it. Look, I that's 1211 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 2: my job. I'm gonna do that, because, as you mentioned, 1212 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 2: he's been more than willing in other areas to say, 1213 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 2: let's get help here, let's get help here, But always 1214 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 2: when it comes to the play calling or any pushback 1215 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 2: we've seen, whether in season or I'm the play caller. 1216 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 2: And again, that might be his confidence, that be his 1217 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 2: comfort level, or that might be him saying, I'm that's 1218 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 2: not going to change. That's a pride thing too. 1219 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 3: I'll push back on that. I will say he's almost 1220 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 3: always said it's collaborative. He's never been like, this is me, 1221 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,440 Speaker 3: this is my job, this is what I do. He's 1222 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 3: framed it in the sense of I'm the guy who 1223 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 3: says it to Joe's ear. Everybody else is calling the plays, 1224 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 3: and at one point said, people who think Pitch doesn't 1225 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 3: call doesn't call plays, that's not true. He calls a 1226 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:37,160 Speaker 3: lot of the plays. So maybe it's a nothing burger. 1227 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I think, But. 1228 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 3: What I would love to push back on I would 1229 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 3: love to ask Joe Burrow about this. I would love 1230 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 3: to get more of Okay, let's let's dig deeper into 1231 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 3: the under the headset idea for a TV show. Let's 1232 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 3: go through some scenarios. Why do you have to burn 1233 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 3: a time out in your first drive of the third 1234 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,400 Speaker 3: quarter in this game? Why did this play call not 1235 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 3: get incorrectly? What the issue with this formation? Like those 1236 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 3: little things? And I would hope that that's all being 1237 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,480 Speaker 3: talked about over the course of the office, because it 1238 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 3: felt like it was more prevalent this past season than 1239 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 3: in years past. 1240 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 2: It felt like it happened a very It happened more 1241 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 2: so than then we've seen in years pa. 1242 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 3: And with the defense as bad as it is, that 1243 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 3: one five yard penalty that can derail a drive and 1244 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:21,960 Speaker 3: they could lose. 1245 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 2: You a football game. Correct, Yeah, like you said, especially 1246 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 2: because of the holes on the defensive side. Before we 1247 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 2: get to our talkbacks today, John has been waiting on 1248 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 2: hold to get through to us. Let's do that and 1249 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 2: then we'll get to our talkbacks. 1250 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,560 Speaker 5: Hey John, good afternoon, fellas. 1251 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,040 Speaker 2: How are you good? How are you good? 1252 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 25: We're hanging in there. I just want to sprinkle on 1253 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 25: my corn flakes. Whatever Duke Ploban sprinks sprinkles on his 1254 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 25: corn flakes, because man, some of that stuff to lose 1255 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 25: your all obviously, you know, talking about things we. 1256 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 4: Already know about. 1257 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 25: Yeah, you need players in their first contract to be 1258 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 25: PRODUCTI well, you're the guy who drafted them. Sure, you 1259 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 25: know it's your responsibility. And if he thinks he has 1260 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 25: a Super Bowl loster, why bring back the entire coaching staff. 1261 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 25: I mean it went six and eleven, one and eight 1262 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 25: with Joe Flacco. Of course five and three with Joe 1263 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 25: Burrow on the center. 1264 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 5: So obviously there's a. 1265 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 25: Major difference in the quarterbacks. But you know, you bring 1266 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 25: back the entire coaching staff for a team that you 1267 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,080 Speaker 25: think is Super Bowl ready and obviously on the defensive 1268 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 25: side of the ball, not even close. But you know, 1269 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 25: the thing that's frustrating, guys is we do this in 1270 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 25: our everyday life, right Like, say we're going to Walmart 1271 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 25: or Target and we have twelve things we want to 1272 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 25: pick up. I know, when I walk into the store, 1273 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 25: I'll go get the six things I know where they 1274 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 25: are that I get all the time. The staples, you know, 1275 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 25: the paper powls and all that stuff. The other six things, 1276 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 25: the missus wants to make pizza tonight, so I gotta 1277 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 25: go find pizza. 1278 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 2: Dell, where is that thing? Whatever? 1279 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 25: Why don't the Bengals take care business quicker? Dalton Reiser 1280 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 25: is the most frustrating part. He wants to stay in Cincinnati. 1281 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 25: He did a very very good job. I still maintain 1282 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 25: if he had been in camp early. Joe Burrow doesn't 1283 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 25: get hurt last year because he was the one who 1284 01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 25: got beat by Eric Armstead and he had just barely 1285 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 25: done in camp. Take care of that here, Chase Brown, 1286 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 25: take here of those things. So when you get the 1287 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 25: free agency, you're ready to go and know, well, we 1288 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 25: don't need a guard. 1289 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 2: We're pretty solid at guard. 1290 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 25: We can go attack other areas that that's really the 1291 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 25: frustrating price. 1292 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 7: They're not the only team. 1293 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:12,080 Speaker 4: That does that. 1294 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 25: I mean a lot of teams do it, but that 1295 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 25: is really frustrating. 1296 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 2: Yeah did we lose John Oh yeah? 1297 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1298 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 2: I and I thought too, like the the comments from 1299 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 2: Duke Tobin yesterday, Like we didn't. We didn't play the 1300 01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 2: comments themselves, but Duke Tobin used the call yesterday. He's 1301 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 2: got decisions to make, and we've got decisions to make. 1302 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 2: He's a guy we like a lot. That to me 1303 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 2: is make it. Make it so it's an easy decision 1304 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 2: for Dalton Reisner. He's already talked about liking it here 1305 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. Make him the offer that he can't say no, 1306 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 2: that he signs on the dotted line. I was a 1307 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 2: little taken back to to hear the he's got decisions 1308 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 2: to make and we've got decisions to make. That left 1309 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,440 Speaker 2: me with a little bit of concern. 1310 01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 3: I would think I read that as Dalton Rise is 1311 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 3: going to make sure that the Bengals offer he gets 1312 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 3: is not the only offer he gets, which is he 1313 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 3: just had one of the best seasons of his career. 1314 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 3: The Bengals are probably not trying to pay him the 1315 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 3: top flight offer like you're saying, and so he's going 1316 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 3: to try to go out in free agency and say, okay, 1317 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 3: well the Broncos are offering me this, or the Chargers 1318 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,800 Speaker 3: are offering me this. Can you guys meet this'. That's 1319 01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 3: how I view what's going on right now. 1320 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1321 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,040 Speaker 25: Yeah, I would just hopefully be more proactive and say, 1322 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 25: sure's what the market's going to be, although, like you said, Austin, 1323 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,479 Speaker 25: we don't know what the market's going to be because 1324 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,080 Speaker 25: the salary caps up over three hundred million, but you know, 1325 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 25: two years twelve million dollars, two years fourteen million dollars. 1326 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 25: Even if it's a slight overpay, you have that position solidified. 1327 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 25: You get Dealing Fairchild at the left guard position. You 1328 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 25: feel pretty solid there and you go from there to 1329 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 25: build other parts of the offensive line. I mean, you 1330 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,760 Speaker 25: have the best quarterback in football. I think it makes 1331 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,600 Speaker 25: sense to protect him. He even talked about it in 1332 01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 25: the final six games that this is the best the 1333 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 25: offensive a line has played in front of him since 1334 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 25: he's been here. That's a good sign. 1335 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 2: So you know, keep it going in that direction. Yeah, no, 1336 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 2: I think that's fair. Thanks fellas, John, We appreciate you. 1337 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 2: Have a great day you too, Yeah, I think and 1338 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,679 Speaker 2: again to your point, I think that is an area 1339 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 2: that Dalton riisemen would try to take advantage of. Can 1340 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 2: the Bengals do anything to expedite that process to just 1341 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,639 Speaker 2: get this done, get it in the stable and move 1342 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 2: on to the next item in order of business in 1343 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 2: the offseason.

And then I thought he 1487 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 36: was a crappy quarterback. Really, I just I just didn't 1488 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 36: think Cincinnati was going to get anywhere.

Is it just me or does Duke Tobin 1504 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 22: sound like Mike Brown's love child? I mean they have 1505 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 22: the same tone, inflection, excitement, et cetera. 1506 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 3: I've been saying this for years. I know our guy 1507 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,000 Speaker 3: Ryan tweeted this at me earlier. I think when you 1508 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 3: work with someone closely for thirty years, you start to 1509 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 3: pick up on things, things that they do and things 1510 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 3: that they say, and the app You're exactly right, tone, inflection, 1511 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,920 Speaker 3: all of it is nearly spot on too, Mike Brown. 1512 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 33: Are we sure Duke Tobin knows that you can sack 1513 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 33: the quarterback on first and second down, not just third down? 1514 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 37: Do we think that Duke really realizes that because he 1515 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:58,000 Speaker 37: wouldn't got Flacco fleckhole did not equal Leans. Just wonder 1516 01:17:58,960 --> 01:17:59,599 Speaker 37: it's a good point. 1517 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,360 Speaker 2: Dan Pitcher, speaking at the Combine today, says the Bengals 1518 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 2: would love to have Joe flaccoback. That's fine. 1519 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,599 Speaker 3: Flacco was one in eight a quarterback through a Brootle 1520 01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,600 Speaker 3: told me that that's not a big swing through a 1521 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:15,760 Speaker 3: Burrudal pick six against the New England Patriots. I mean, 1522 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 3: he was awesome against the Steelers, but he threw the 1523 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 3: ball to Chase thirty five times. I have no problem 1524 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,439 Speaker 3: with bringing Flacco back. He was not the reason they 1525 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 3: were one and eight, but they were also one and eight. 1526 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 17: Yes, yes, if you play with fire, you will get burnt, 1527 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 17: but you can't cook without it. This guy is baking 1528 01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 17: in excuses and his big pat on it back is 1529 01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 17: was bringing Joe Flacco here. Yes, he re energized the offense. Yes, 1530 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,160 Speaker 17: it did bring energy. Yes, it did give us hope, 1531 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,720 Speaker 17: but it resulted in one win. If that is his 1532 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 17: big success and that is his measure of success, we're 1533 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:52,960 Speaker 17: in more trouble than we thought. 1534 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 2: Boys. Can you play the start of that again? That 1535 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:55,760 Speaker 2: line was kind of fire. 1536 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,360 Speaker 17: Yes, yes, if you play with fire, you will get burnt, 1537 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 17: but you can't cook. 1538 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,800 Speaker 2: How about that? I should play with fire. You could 1539 01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:09,840 Speaker 2: get burnt, but you can't cook. My goodness, Lee the 1540 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 2: pizza dude bringing in goodness. While we are on the 1541 01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 2: topic of backup quarterbacks, this is news emanating from the 1542 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 2: combine as we speak, Carolina has been getting calls about 1543 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 2: Andy Dalton as a potential trade candidate. According to sources 1544 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 2: that tell Adam Schefter, I would take Andy Dalton in 1545 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 2: a heartbeat as the backup to Joe Burrow over Joe Flacco. Yes, 1546 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,040 Speaker 2: what say you? I'll take Flacco. 1547 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 28: Good afternoon, gentlemen. After hearing Duke Hobn talk, two things 1548 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 28: come to mind. One is he related to Mike Brown 1549 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 28: more than I realized, because they really sound a lot alike. 1550 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 28: And number two, it's obvious that we really hoped that 1551 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 28: one of these third tier pre agents that they sign 1552 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 28: has a heck of a season for us. 1553 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,560 Speaker 2: So I got guys, I have a good one, thank you. 1554 01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,160 Speaker 16: So Duke Tobin pretty much confirmed business as usual this 1555 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 16: offseason for the Bengals. Can't try to make any big 1556 01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 16: moves because there's a chance they might fail. Good attitude there, 1557 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,800 Speaker 16: try not to lose rather than actually go out and win. 1558 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,040 Speaker 16: Don't need to do a restructure because they have what 1559 01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 16: they need to go out and do what they want, 1560 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 16: which is probably just Tier three and Tier four guys. 1561 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 16: And laughing at the idea of attack and trade. Yep, 1562 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,559 Speaker 16: it's the same pig, just another shade of lipstick. 1563 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 3: Wow, our guy Lance McAllister. Also, you know, I brought 1564 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,439 Speaker 3: a great point. I like Duke and I think the 1565 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 3: Bengals have done some good things. I don't believe in 1566 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,920 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin. And here's a big reason why. Twenty four 1567 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,719 Speaker 3: teams the Bengals have built under the direction of Duke Tobin. 1568 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:02,679 Speaker 3: That's right, winning percentage, that's right, that's one eighty five, 1569 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 3: one ninety nine and four. That in good SPONGEBA only 1570 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,559 Speaker 3: eleven winning seasons Patrick out of those twenty four teams, 1571 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,280 Speaker 3: just two playoff appearances in the last decade. 1572 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:14,719 Speaker 2: That ain't good. Sandy, Why. 1573 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,759 Speaker 3: Why mister Crabs should I believe in Duke Tobin? 1574 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,480 Speaker 2: I don't think you ever could Plankton. 1575 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 34: Austin Tony. 1576 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:24,439 Speaker 5: It's Ian. 1577 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:31,679 Speaker 33: On the Growler podcast last night, they mentioned the lack 1578 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,599 Speaker 33: of free agent interior d line pickups that could make 1579 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 33: a difference. 1580 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:37,960 Speaker 4: That has me really worried. 1581 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,559 Speaker 33: And can they really pick up on the free market? 1582 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 33: Are there areas that could offset that in balance? 1583 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 2: What is your opinion? I think there is, But I 1584 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 2: think that reason alone is why we draw to the 1585 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,320 Speaker 2: idea more and more of Are there possible trades out 1586 01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 2: there that work as well? 1587 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 3: You know, Duke Tobin said that you got to be 1588 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,479 Speaker 3: able to sack the quarterback, but you got to stop 1589 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 3: the run so you can get the third down so 1590 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:10,560 Speaker 3: you can sack the quarterback. If you were holding a 1591 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,840 Speaker 3: weapon too my head right now and asking me what 1592 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 3: position the Bengals are going to take at number ten, 1593 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,240 Speaker 3: I would say defensive tackle. And the reason for that 1594 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,759 Speaker 3: being what you just said. There's not a very big class. 1595 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,160 Speaker 3: Duke doesn't seem like he's going to be willing to 1596 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 3: trade picks for one and not a big free agent class. 1597 01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 3: And I don't know that they're going to be able 1598 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,160 Speaker 3: to trade back or want to trade back number ten 1599 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 3: to me right now, it smells like a reach for 1600 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:37,799 Speaker 3: a detackle. 1601 01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:45,360 Speaker 34: A great idea for the headset TV idea. They could 1602 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 34: do something that NASCAR does called radioactive, where the entire 1603 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:57,440 Speaker 34: show is based on the in the car radio between spotters, 1604 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 34: the crew chief, and the driver. So I think that'd 1605 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 34: be a pretty cool idea of the NFL, or even 1606 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 34: like Fox nineteen locally to keep going. 1607 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 2: Then they would just get super paranoid about other teams 1608 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,920 Speaker 2: listening and getting getting their calls and stealing them that way. 1609 01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say this, the NFL regulates those radios 1610 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 3: like you would not believe, Like it's it's difficult to 1611 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 3: get involved with it. Now, maybe if you did it 1612 01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:21,800 Speaker 3: in the un verse of how it works, because at 1613 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 3: the fifteen second mark, right, the play clock cuts off 1614 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,760 Speaker 3: from the helmet, right, So if you could do it 1615 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 3: up until the play call begins, so and then at 1616 01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,680 Speaker 3: fifteen seconds you hear what else is going on? 1617 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:35,640 Speaker 2: Right? 1618 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 3: So after it cuts off, you hear you know, Duke, 1619 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,040 Speaker 3: or you hear Zach saying to Dan Pitcher, Okay, what 1620 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:43,920 Speaker 3: if if we get sacked here? 1621 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,719 Speaker 2: What do you like or what if we're a yard short? 1622 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,320 Speaker 2: What are you going to? You know that stuff that 1623 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 2: maybe you don't hear. 1624 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:55,720 Speaker 38: Yeah, Gid Turvin does a good job talking about all 1625 01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 38: the good draft picks. He don't mention the bad draft 1626 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 38: picks too much. Yeah, I've I'm with maybe a different 1627 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 38: play caller, but like you guys said, it seems like 1628 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 38: Zach Taylor, he's pretty stuck on that. Yeah, I think 1629 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,719 Speaker 38: you see should win their next to shout out to Dayton, come. 1630 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,240 Speaker 2: On, come on with the wind chimes in the background. 1631 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:24,840 Speaker 39: Hello, Hello, calling talkbacks so I can hear my voice 1632 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 39: on the radio anyway.

I was lost in the quarterfinals, in 1636 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 39: the semi finals.

Their goal is to 1931 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 24: make it the best student section experience in the country. 1932 01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:15,000 Speaker 24: It's going to be an opportunity for us to have 1933 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:19,120 Speaker 24: a multifaceted approach to to job fairs for for students. 1934 01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:20,960 Speaker 24: We'll be right next to the Farmer School of Business. 1935 01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:24,439 Speaker 24: It's gonna be a great opportunity for us to advance 1936 01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:28,880 Speaker 24: and utilize other things. That much capital being infused into athletics, 1937 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,240 Speaker 24: let alone the university. I think once that location gets 1938 01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 24: passed in it's built, I think a lot of people 1939 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:36,680 Speaker 24: will be extremely happy. 1940 01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:39,799 Speaker 2: How exciting and how much from from a fan standpoint 1941 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:43,000 Speaker 2: to watch this and understand that with the notoriety, people 1942 01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,080 Speaker 2: are gonna say, Okay, what we want Travis Steele as 1943 01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:48,120 Speaker 2: our next head coach or or the roster next year. 1944 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:50,240 Speaker 2: In the world of nil, people are going to try 1945 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:52,840 Speaker 2: to come in and uh and and take off the roster. 1946 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,599 Speaker 2: We had Travis Steel in studio a couple of weeks ago, 1947 01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:58,280 Speaker 2: and I think one of the things that kind of 1948 01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:00,880 Speaker 2: drove home to me was the the players that chose 1949 01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 2: to come back. And in this day and age, when 1950 01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:05,280 Speaker 2: you can have meetings after a season and know that 1951 01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 2: a guys might get offered more money and they want 1952 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:09,120 Speaker 2: to be a part of what you're doing, I think 1953 01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,920 Speaker 2: you can tell you're building the program the right way. 1954 01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,799 Speaker 2: That's the next question for me. As historic and awesome 1955 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,439 Speaker 2: as this season is and what they're still trying to finish, 1956 01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,880 Speaker 2: it feels like this has stain power as well to 1957 01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:24,120 Speaker 2: not just be you know, is it easy to go 1958 01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:27,080 Speaker 2: undefeated every year now, but to have stain power as 1959 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 2: a team that's going to be competing at the top 1960 01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:30,920 Speaker 2: end of the MAC for years to come. Yeah. 1961 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:32,680 Speaker 24: And that's like once I got into this and I 1962 01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:36,559 Speaker 24: love Coach Steel, I love coach Martin, I love all 1963 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,600 Speaker 24: the coaches we have. Coach Mylen baseball or women's basketball, 1964 01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,760 Speaker 24: as we were talking about earlier, is incredible. We're all 1965 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,800 Speaker 24: airs as they're winning the MAC. But to go back 1966 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,200 Speaker 24: to it, I think it's the program, you know, that 1967 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:50,439 Speaker 24: we're trying to build. And you know, I was fortunate 1968 01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 24: enough that they did incorporate me into, you know, the 1969 01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:55,960 Speaker 24: contract offer, and I was able to put my two 1970 01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:58,360 Speaker 24: cents in for Travis in the basketball and a lot 1971 01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,160 Speaker 24: of the things they value for whatever reason, Tony, they 1972 01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 24: value my opinion and insight. So as part of you know, 1973 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,920 Speaker 24: different iterations of how to work with our coaches and 1974 01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:09,560 Speaker 24: and really feel confident, I guess to go back to 1975 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,439 Speaker 24: the resources. Like you said, you know, I think Travis, 1976 01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:15,439 Speaker 24: you know, we we know that you know, he we 1977 01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,040 Speaker 24: think extremely highly of him and we would love for 1978 01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:20,679 Speaker 24: him to continue to build. Obviously that's a decision he's 1979 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,919 Speaker 24: going to have to make, like any coach or any professional, 1980 01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,960 Speaker 24: but he we feel like with the arena, with the 1981 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,840 Speaker 24: resources and in il and like I said, I truly 1982 01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 24: mean this and Travis says it too, we have complete 1983 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,040 Speaker 24: alignment and we didn't have that maybe three or four 1984 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 24: years ago, but from our board, to President Crawford, to 1985 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 24: our ad David Saylor, to our coaches, to donors, to 1986 01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:41,240 Speaker 24: the support like. 1987 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:44,840 Speaker 2: It's it's it takes that and we have that now. 1988 01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:48,640 Speaker 24: And so I think any person like you said that 1989 01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,560 Speaker 24: would come in and coach it's going to be an opportunity. 1990 01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 24: I hope that's not the case, sure, but inevitably, if 1991 01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:57,400 Speaker 24: you know, things happen and we know that it's it's 1992 01:42:57,439 --> 01:42:59,080 Speaker 24: gonna be great opportunity, keep building. 1993 01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,960 Speaker 2: Red brick legas see itself. We kind of talked at 1994 01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,400 Speaker 2: the infancy stage of this, when this was just getting 1995 01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,519 Speaker 2: up and running. You myself, Matt mchub was in here. 1996 01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 2: We were talking about kind of what the vision was 1997 01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:12,519 Speaker 2: and where this was going. I think last time we 1998 01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,439 Speaker 2: had a chance to talk, we were talking about uptown 1999 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,360 Speaker 2: Light and where things were going to what's the latest 2000 01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,040 Speaker 2: from the collective side, because as you know, as this 2001 01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,800 Speaker 2: thing continues to get rolling, it never stops in the 2002 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 2: nil world and in what you're trying to raise, in 2003 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,920 Speaker 2: the impact you're trying to have. Yeah, it's amazing where 2004 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:31,040 Speaker 2: we were to where we are now. 2005 01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:34,000 Speaker 24: I'd say I told you we want to be the 2006 01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:38,040 Speaker 24: best in the MAC and I would say soon thereof 2007 01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,519 Speaker 24: we're right at the top, if not the top, and 2008 01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:45,000 Speaker 24: definitely football in basketball, So those things are getting close 2009 01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:45,920 Speaker 24: to where we need it to be. 2010 01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of speculation. 2011 01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,760 Speaker 24: Obviously, going from zero and having no collective years ago, 2012 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:52,519 Speaker 24: we're a little bit late to enter the game. But 2013 01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,680 Speaker 24: now I'm pretty confident we're in the top tier and 2014 01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:58,760 Speaker 24: we're getting very close to be number one and are 2015 01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:02,240 Speaker 24: in those major sports. So really excited, and like I said, 2016 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,160 Speaker 24: the a lot of that came in when when there 2017 01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:06,160 Speaker 24: was complete alignment. 2018 01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:07,559 Speaker 2: Sure, you know, I feel like I had. 2019 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:09,880 Speaker 24: To you know, push and prad and really be the 2020 01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,719 Speaker 24: guy that kind of I guess one of the folks 2021 01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,160 Speaker 24: and I'll give Zach Haynes on our board. 2022 01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:18,200 Speaker 2: You know, he really invested time in me. 2023 01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,200 Speaker 24: Uh and David Saylor, President Crawford once again they said, 2024 01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,639 Speaker 24: all right, whatever this guy's saying, let's start to listen, 2025 01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,080 Speaker 24: you know. And not that they were not listening before, 2026 01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:29,320 Speaker 24: but I think they really understood the forward investment. 2027 01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:30,919 Speaker 2: Now it's the front ports of the athletics. 2028 01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,920 Speaker 24: I was talking to Joel Stone with the Farmer Foundation, 2029 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,680 Speaker 24: with the School of Business and he I said, I 2030 01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:39,879 Speaker 24: would love to see, and we're starting to see upticks 2031 01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:44,639 Speaker 24: of applications and what athletics is truly doing is tremendous 2032 01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 24: when it comes together, Like are the data that I 2033 01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:49,720 Speaker 24: think is going to come from this basketball season and 2034 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,479 Speaker 24: you know, stuff like brick Street.

I was 2063 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:03,120 Speaker 2: announced earlier in the week and you and I were 2064 01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,760 Speaker 2: messaging a little bit about it. Originally set for pay 2065 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,519 Speaker 2: Corpse Stadium. Now here's this unique environment at TQL Stadium. 2066 01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,840 Speaker 2: The venue itself is awesome. If you've ever been to 2067 01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:16,519 Speaker 2: an FC Cincinnati match or I urge you to do that. 2068 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:20,040 Speaker 2: But moving this game to TQL Stadium feels like a 2069 01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:21,439 Speaker 2: win win for for all sides. 2070 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:21,679 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2071 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:23,800 Speaker 24: I think it's like you said, like that is I 2072 01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 24: think it was just righted the best MLS stadium you 2073 01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,599 Speaker 24: know in that space for soccer. 2074 01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,000 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a reason that the national teams are 2075 01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:31,679 Speaker 2: coming to play. 2076 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:34,800 Speaker 24: If you haven't been there, you got to go.

So I think 2079 01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,720 Speaker 24: it's gonna be a special environment for the rivalry. I 2080 01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:44,639 Speaker 24: think really excited about the portal class we had put together, 2081 01:46:45,640 --> 01:46:48,080 Speaker 24: that we have a bunch of early enrollies as freshmen. 2082 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,120 Speaker 24: I think we have a much better class and crop 2083 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:55,439 Speaker 24: of guys that are going to follow the culture and 2084 01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 24: what we're we're we believe in with coach Martin and 2085 01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 24: in the Miami football way. But it's gonna be a 2086 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 24: lot of fun to see you see in Miami battle 2087 01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:05,160 Speaker 24: at that stadium, and it's gonna be fantastic. 2088 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 2: The thing for me with Nil and I hold this 2089 01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 2: to the very top of the Bengals, I think one 2090 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:14,840 Speaker 2: of the most challenging parts is, you know, you look 2091 01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:17,160 Speaker 2: at the Bengals. They've spent money. Are they spending the 2092 01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:20,160 Speaker 2: money that the scheme and the personnel match what you 2093 01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:23,120 Speaker 2: want to do together? And I think that's a learning 2094 01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,880 Speaker 2: process in college as well. Of Okay, now we have 2095 01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,519 Speaker 2: money to spend That's the first part of it. Are 2096 01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,879 Speaker 2: you spending the money the right way to get perfect 2097 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:33,760 Speaker 2: fits into your program? And when you do, you see 2098 01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,840 Speaker 2: in Indiana that, Okay, we spent the money, but also 2099 01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:39,880 Speaker 2: every piece seems to fit together. That has to be 2100 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,160 Speaker 2: a learning curve as well for a guy and Chuck 2101 01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,960 Speaker 2: Martin who's done it for so long. One way, Now 2102 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,120 Speaker 2: you're paying players, but you got to make sure you're 2103 01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,080 Speaker 2: paying the right players. And as you said, it feels 2104 01:47:50,240 --> 01:47:52,920 Speaker 2: like and following along with the class and the portal, 2105 01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:55,240 Speaker 2: it feels like you see a lot of these guys 2106 01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,960 Speaker 2: like man that seems like it fits for who they are. Yeah. 2107 01:47:57,960 --> 01:47:59,960 Speaker 24: I mean, I won't tell you what we have exactly 2108 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:01,680 Speaker 24: right now, but I can tell you what we did have, 2109 01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:04,120 Speaker 24: which was zero than the first year, was eighty thousand 2110 01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:07,320 Speaker 24: dollars right when we were going up against other guys. 2111 01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,439 Speaker 24: They're at ten, twelve, thirteen million dollars at that point. Yeah, 2112 01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,439 Speaker 24: So now we have a lot more. And so like 2113 01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:16,200 Speaker 24: you said, like, how do you spend that money in 2114 01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,559 Speaker 24: our GM Cody Keller and his staff. So we've built 2115 01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:22,479 Speaker 24: a staff, we have a general manager, even talk to 2116 01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,599 Speaker 24: Coach Steele about it. It's it's there's teams that we've 2117 01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,080 Speaker 24: played in basketball that have more money than us, But 2118 01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:31,200 Speaker 24: it's how we've spent our money, how we build, how 2119 01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:34,640 Speaker 24: we value, Like you said, that is a process, and 2120 01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:38,080 Speaker 24: we've definitely learned through that. Myself. I've learned through that 2121 01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,280 Speaker 24: because you know, I'm a little bit part of that process. 2122 01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,760 Speaker 24: And I think we learned a lot last year. We're 2123 01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,920 Speaker 24: going to continue to learn. But it's exciting to have 2124 01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,240 Speaker 24: the resources now. It's like you said, it's it's now 2125 01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 24: you're going how do we spend this? And that's an 2126 01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:53,479 Speaker 24: exciting thing to do. But like you said, just because 2127 01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,040 Speaker 24: you have all the talent in the world, the piece 2128 01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,599 Speaker 24: has got to fit, you know, And that's I think 2129 01:48:57,640 --> 01:48:59,960 Speaker 24: that we're seeing that across the board and any sport 2130 01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,400 Speaker 24: or in culture still matters. That's why I love about 2131 01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,360 Speaker 24: the basketball team. It's a great lesson not just for 2132 01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:06,760 Speaker 24: us at Miami, but I think the whole country that 2133 01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:10,479 Speaker 24: you know, you got to still put you know, culture matters, 2134 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:15,400 Speaker 24: teamwork matters, camaraderie matters, passing the ball to each other, 2135 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:19,320 Speaker 24: you know, rooting for someone else's success, you know, is 2136 01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:22,200 Speaker 24: it still matters? You know, And that's what's so exciting 2137 01:49:22,200 --> 01:49:26,280 Speaker 24: about Miami basketball not just for our other sports, but 2138 01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:28,439 Speaker 24: like I said, really for college athletics. I think it's 2139 01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,719 Speaker 24: a huge thing for us right now, and I'm hoping 2140 01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:32,720 Speaker 24: that we finished strong. We still got a lot of 2141 01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:34,880 Speaker 24: ball left in front of us. Tony MAC Championship.

Thank you for listening to ESPN fifteen 2209 01:52:55,680 --> 01:53:00,920 Speaker 2: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Yesterday at the Ballpark, Reds pick 2210 01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 2: up their first spring training win of the season, one 2211 01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:09,400 Speaker 2: and two. Again, not that wins and losses really matter, 2212 01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:12,600 Speaker 2: but what does matter is what you saw from the 2213 01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,400 Speaker 2: Reds I think, and Austin you said it as well, 2214 01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:17,840 Speaker 2: pretty close to what I think a lot of people 2215 01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:20,200 Speaker 2: would project right now. The opening day lineup to look 2216 01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:23,240 Speaker 2: like maybe Dane Meyers gets swapped out of there, and 2217 01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,160 Speaker 2: I don't know how the back end of that would 2218 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:30,400 Speaker 2: look like, but certainly at the top. TJ. Friedel another hit, 2219 01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:34,080 Speaker 2: another RBI. Matt McClain with the long pants another hit 2220 01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:36,760 Speaker 2: and a walk in the game, and then we also 2221 01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:43,040 Speaker 2: saw for the first time, I think why the excitement 2222 01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:44,599 Speaker 2: is where it is from a lot of fans from 2223 01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:47,200 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds. Back to back home runs in the 2224 01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:49,439 Speaker 2: bottom of the fifth from Elie de la Cruz and 2225 01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:52,880 Speaker 2: eo Henio Suarez gave you a little taste, and I 2226 01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,360 Speaker 2: think when you kind of give, you also take away 2227 01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,759 Speaker 2: a little bit as well. Ellie struck out twice, Suarez 2228 01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:01,240 Speaker 2: truck out in the game, but all in you get 2229 01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:02,800 Speaker 2: to kind of peel back the curtain a little bit 2230 01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:05,400 Speaker 2: of what this lineup can look like, especially from a 2231 01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:09,599 Speaker 2: power standpoint. Saw Andrew rabbit over two inning strikeout two, 2232 01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,960 Speaker 2: also gave up a two run home run. But a 2233 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:16,960 Speaker 2: Reds win yesterday the back to back home runs. Outside 2234 01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:19,920 Speaker 2: of that, any other major takeaways from yesterday's game. 2235 01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:21,960 Speaker 3: Their first win of the spring. It was nice to 2236 01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,840 Speaker 3: see swore Az get his first two hits of the spring. 2237 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,120 Speaker 3: He also singled along with that homer. You did mention 2238 01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:30,400 Speaker 3: they not only had back to back homers, but back 2239 01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:32,320 Speaker 3: to back strikeouts. That's going to be part of the 2240 01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:34,480 Speaker 3: growing pains with those two in the middle of the lineup. 2241 01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:38,200 Speaker 3: Brandon Williamson four strikeouts and a couple innings of work. 2242 01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:41,080 Speaker 3: I think people are continually impressed with what they have 2243 01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:43,840 Speaker 3: seen from him. And yea guy made twenty starts for 2244 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,400 Speaker 3: the Reds a couple of years ago before he ran 2245 01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,000 Speaker 3: into that shoulder and then elbow injury. I think he's 2246 01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:52,320 Speaker 3: gonna be a bigger part of the twenty twenty six 2247 01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 3: season than we realize at the moment. Other than that, 2248 01:54:56,920 --> 01:54:59,720 Speaker 3: it was relatively status quo. The Reds go on the 2249 01:54:59,800 --> 01:55:02,200 Speaker 3: roa for the first time in the spring later this afternoon. 2250 01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,120 Speaker 2: One other thing I do thought it was a refreshing 2251 01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,720 Speaker 2: and welcome site. One walk divviat out by Reds pitching. 2252 01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:12,000 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, they corrected. That is so got that corrected. Yeah, 2253 01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:14,000 Speaker 3: a little bit better than what we had it at. 2254 01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:16,440 Speaker 2: Do we have a lineup for how they will attack 2255 01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:19,560 Speaker 2: the Chicago White Sox today, We sure do. 2256 01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:24,760 Speaker 3: Cactus League action for the Red Legs a roster at 2257 01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:28,240 Speaker 3: three to oh five in Glendale. As I mentioned, they're 2258 01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:30,400 Speaker 3: going on the road for the first time in spring 2259 01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:34,240 Speaker 3: to take on the South Siders. The Chicago White Sox, 2260 01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:36,720 Speaker 3: who have had a pretty big off season by their standards, 2261 01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:40,000 Speaker 3: now the worst owner in sports is Jerry Reinsdorf. He 2262 01:55:40,160 --> 01:55:44,320 Speaker 3: owned the Chicago White Sox. He also owns the Chicago Bulls. 2263 01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:48,720 Speaker 3: Now they're actually, it appears, investing in the White Sox. Meanwhile, 2264 01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:51,840 Speaker 3: they're driving the Bulls into the ground. Not that it's 2265 01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:54,600 Speaker 3: a sore subject or anything. Here's how the Red Legs 2266 01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 3: will line them up. Leading off in left field, Hector Rodriguez. 2267 01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:04,840 Speaker 3: The second batter is third baseman Key Brian Hayes batting third, 2268 01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:09,200 Speaker 3: right fielder JJ Bledah. The cleanup batter is first baseman 2269 01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:14,440 Speaker 3: Sal Stuart batting fifth, the DH Nathaniel Lowe. The sixth 2270 01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:18,400 Speaker 3: batter is catcher Jose Travigno. Blake dunnwill bat seventh and 2271 01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:22,400 Speaker 3: play center field. Garrett Hampson bats eighth. He's the second basement. 2272 01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:27,280 Speaker 3: The ninth batter is shortstop Edwin Arroyo and starting on 2273 01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:29,920 Speaker 3: the mound for the Red Legs today, the big lefty 2274 01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:35,320 Speaker 3: nick Leddolo Dolo day for the Red Legs. Once more, 2275 01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:41,800 Speaker 3: it's Rodriguez, Hayes, Rodriguez, Hayes, Blade, Stuart, low Travino, Don Hampson, 2276 01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:44,200 Speaker 3: Arroyo with Lodolo. 2277 01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:47,160 Speaker 2: On the mound, not the old Hayes, Bla eday Man 2278 01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:49,480 Speaker 2: two three combination. We talked a lot about the two hole. 2279 01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,600 Speaker 2: We haven't talked about key Brian Hayes up there in 2280 01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:55,320 Speaker 2: that two hole. Yeah, you better not be j J. Bleday. 2281 01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:59,560 Speaker 2: A chance to see Sal Stuart uh with some extended 2282 01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:01,400 Speaker 2: action as well. And I think. 2283 01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:04,280 Speaker 3: We've not yet seen Spencer Steer in the outfield. 2284 01:57:04,440 --> 01:57:04,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 2285 01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:08,640 Speaker 2: I think that the big point here and kind of 2286 01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:12,560 Speaker 2: drove this home and Chad Brendle did so yesterday. The 2287 01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:17,320 Speaker 2: ability of Hunter Green, Andrew have Itt and Nick Lodolo 2288 01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:21,200 Speaker 2: as a big three to just get and start as 2289 01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:22,320 Speaker 2: many games as possible. 2290 01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can get ninety starts out of those guys, 2291 01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:25,680 Speaker 3: you'd be thrilled. 2292 01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,840 Speaker 2: Yep, each of them start thirty games. Divvy up the 2293 01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:33,760 Speaker 2: rest between you know, your your four and your five, 2294 01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:37,880 Speaker 2: and also your deep pitching rotation for times when guys 2295 01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,360 Speaker 2: are banged up, when you need guys to maybe miss 2296 01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:42,560 Speaker 2: a starter or two. You feel like you've got some 2297 01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,200 Speaker 2: built in depth there. You just talked about Brandon Williamson, 2298 01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:48,240 Speaker 2: We've talked about Rhet Louder. I think everyone we've talked 2299 01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:53,480 Speaker 2: about that's been to spring training. Austin has openly spoke 2300 01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:58,720 Speaker 2: about Chase Burtns and how impressed they've been with Chase 2301 01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:03,080 Speaker 2: Burtns and that could potentially be your fifth guy in 2302 01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:05,800 Speaker 2: the rotation, kind of bursting onto the scene as a 2303 01:58:05,880 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 2: star in the making for the Cincinnati Reds. Let's take 2304 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,280 Speaker 2: a break, we'll come back. We have one final segment 2305 01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,600 Speaker 2: before we welcome Mo Agerbach for the first time this 2306 01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:17,040 Speaker 2: week right here on the home of the Bengals, ESBN 2307 01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:27,640 Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Welcome back. Since the three 2308 01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:33,400 Speaker 2: to sixty ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, the comumbine 2309 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:38,120 Speaker 2: is ongoing, which means Austin that the Bengals are hosting 2310 01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:42,360 Speaker 2: player interviews. Do we know at this point who, in 2311 01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:44,160 Speaker 2: fact the Bengals have met with. 2312 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:48,960 Speaker 3: We know a few of the defensive linemen and linebackers 2313 01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,240 Speaker 3: that are meeting with the media today that have confirmed 2314 01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:54,520 Speaker 3: they've met with the Bengals. David Bailey, the edge from 2315 01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:58,800 Speaker 3: Texas Tech, Sunny Styles linebacker from Ohio State, Ruben Bain Junior, 2316 01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:03,240 Speaker 3: the edge rush from Miami Caden McDonald with defensive tackle 2317 01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:06,600 Speaker 3: from Ohio State, Peter Woods, the d tackle from Clemson, 2318 01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:10,320 Speaker 3: Peter Woods. I think had twenty one team interviews. It's 2319 01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:14,320 Speaker 3: a long day for Pete and Dante Corleone from Cincinnati. 2320 01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:17,000 Speaker 3: When he when he met with the media this morning, 2321 01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:18,760 Speaker 3: he said he hadn't met with the Bengals yet, but 2322 01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:22,240 Speaker 3: he was going too soon, So I would assume that 2323 01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:26,080 Speaker 3: meeting has happened already or is happening right now. That's 2324 01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,560 Speaker 3: just the list so far. Obviously more of those will 2325 01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:30,560 Speaker 3: come out over the next couple of days we go. Also, 2326 01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:36,480 Speaker 3: did you see the news about the Toush push It 2327 01:59:36,600 --> 01:59:39,600 Speaker 3: got banned. Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. No, it 2328 01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:43,800 Speaker 3: got banned on the show. It got banned in the 2329 01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:48,400 Speaker 3: UFL anyway, care about that? The UFL banned anyway, the 2330 01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:51,440 Speaker 3: Toush push is no more. Anybody care about that in 2331 01:59:51,560 --> 01:59:56,720 Speaker 3: the UFL. Mike is on the phone. What's up, Mike? 2332 01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:00,640 Speaker 5: Hey, thank you for squeezing the guy for sure that 2333 02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:03,560 Speaker 5: I had some weird stuff happened. I had a weird 2334 02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:09,040 Speaker 5: reaction to some new medicine that was a little scary. Anyway, 2335 02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:12,040 Speaker 5: I did some research on this, since I have a 2336 02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:16,680 Speaker 5: lot of time when in the damn bed, and there 2337 02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:21,800 Speaker 5: is virtually zero correlation between the spring and the regular season, 2338 02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:26,360 Speaker 5: and especially the postseason. I think in two thousand and six, 2339 02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:30,200 Speaker 5: the Braves defied the know the Diamondbacks defied the odds 2340 02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:35,640 Speaker 5: with a horrible spring training and then weaked into the playoffs. 2341 02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:38,840 Speaker 5: And then I think the Red Sox had a great 2342 02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:42,800 Speaker 5: spring training and then crapped out in twenty thirteen something 2343 02:00:42,880 --> 02:00:46,360 Speaker 5: like that. But anyway, bottom line is zero correlation. It's 2344 02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:51,480 Speaker 5: strictly a time, as you know, for development, experimentation and 2345 02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:53,920 Speaker 5: a lot of young guys that most of them won't 2346 02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:55,120 Speaker 5: even be on the team next year. 2347 02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:56,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, for sure, it's. 2348 02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:58,800 Speaker 5: Funny to get excited about it, but you know it's 2349 02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:01,040 Speaker 5: something to do since they're nothing else might score on. 2350 02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,840 Speaker 5: Although March Madness will be crazy, pretty cent. I can't 2351 02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:06,920 Speaker 5: wait for that without a doubt. Give me, I missed 2352 02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:09,160 Speaker 5: it last night. Tone give me a quick recap on 2353 02:01:10,040 --> 02:01:13,000 Speaker 5: what the hell happened with the Bearcats with JT. Topp 2354 02:01:13,040 --> 02:01:14,400 Speaker 5: and they're all American being. 2355 02:01:14,280 --> 02:01:18,480 Speaker 2: Out Texas Tech. You give them credit. They completely revamped 2356 02:01:18,480 --> 02:01:20,560 Speaker 2: who and what they are on the offensive side of 2357 02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:22,760 Speaker 2: the ball. Now, they are heavy in the ball screens, 2358 02:01:22,760 --> 02:01:25,600 Speaker 2: they shoot a lot of threes, They spread the court out, 2359 02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,760 Speaker 2: they play a little bit smaller, and last night in 2360 02:01:29,960 --> 02:01:33,160 Speaker 2: that role, unfortunately they were also hitting shots. They made 2361 02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:36,200 Speaker 2: forty percent of their threes. They shot fifty two percent 2362 02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,160 Speaker 2: from the field, and as Mowagar pointed out, on the 2363 02:01:39,240 --> 02:01:43,240 Speaker 2: shots they missed, which wasn't many, they rebounded twelve of 2364 02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:47,720 Speaker 2: them on the offensive glass. They're undersized, but yet still 2365 02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:53,120 Speaker 2: out rebounded the Bearcats by sixteen rebounds. It just it 2366 02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:58,440 Speaker 2: wasn't defensively, the attention to detail and I think at 2367 02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:01,800 Speaker 2: times the effort was not there last night. And if 2368 02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:06,560 Speaker 2: you look across the the box score for the Bearcats, 2369 02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:10,440 Speaker 2: uh Gisel James did not have a rebound, Tyler McKinley 2370 02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:13,640 Speaker 2: did not have a rebound. Keyshan Tillery did not register 2371 02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:16,720 Speaker 2: or rebound. It just it wasn't enough in a game 2372 02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:18,480 Speaker 2: like that, all hands got to be on deck on 2373 02:02:18,520 --> 02:02:20,560 Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball, and they didn't have 2374 02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,320 Speaker 2: that last night. And uh, and it resulted in a 2375 02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:24,160 Speaker 2: disappointing loss. 2376 02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:28,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, because I remember coach McCastle and saying before the 2377 02:02:28,520 --> 02:02:32,880 Speaker 5: game that they're all about team rebounding, team rebounding, and 2378 02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:34,840 Speaker 5: their guards hit the boards. 2379 02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,880 Speaker 2: And their offensive rebounds resulted in points. It was either 2380 02:02:37,960 --> 02:02:42,080 Speaker 2: put back dunks or kickout for wide open threes as 2381 02:02:42,120 --> 02:02:45,320 Speaker 2: opposed I mean, you see got eleven offensive rebounds to 2382 02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:47,640 Speaker 2: just twelve for Texas Tech, but it felt like Texas 2383 02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:51,640 Speaker 2: Tech capitalized on every single one of those offensive rebounds. 2384 02:02:52,520 --> 02:02:55,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a chiller loss too after what they've been doing. 2385 02:02:55,640 --> 02:02:59,240 Speaker 5: That's that's the and one last quick thing. Dan Patrick 2386 02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:01,320 Speaker 5: hit a thing. I'm getting addicted to him like I 2387 02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:04,280 Speaker 5: am to you guys. He had a thing about sounds 2388 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:07,400 Speaker 5: of sports this morning, and it was really interesting to 2389 02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:10,080 Speaker 5: hear people calling in and talking about favorite sounds from 2390 02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:13,280 Speaker 5: all kinds of different sports. But the one I remember 2391 02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:15,880 Speaker 5: growing up as a kid was down to Cincinnati Gardens 2392 02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:18,080 Speaker 5: on Paddock Road where the Royals used to play in 2393 02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:21,480 Speaker 5: slifting over there and going with my dad. I was 2394 02:03:21,520 --> 02:03:23,880 Speaker 5: eight or nine years old and my dad was a 2395 02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:27,320 Speaker 5: City of Cincinnati firefighter. He have his big eyeball cigar 2396 02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:30,760 Speaker 5: in his mouth buying tickets windows before we go in. 2397 02:03:31,480 --> 02:03:33,920 Speaker 5: And you get in there, Tony, and not just the 2398 02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:36,600 Speaker 5: size of the guys when you're that little, but the 2399 02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:41,320 Speaker 5: sound of the PA announcer. It sounded like God, like 2400 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,560 Speaker 5: the voice was coming from heaven. It was the most 2401 02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:48,440 Speaker 5: pleasant memory I had as a kid growing up. 2402 02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:48,760 Speaker 6: It was. 2403 02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,280 Speaker 5: And then you hear the squeaking of the sneakers that 2404 02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:54,240 Speaker 5: they were warming up. And then Jerry Lucas came and 2405 02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:57,920 Speaker 5: did a thing before the game because he memorized he 2406 02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:02,200 Speaker 5: could memorize phone books. Sure, did you ever hear about that? 2407 02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:06,640 Speaker 2: I can imagine just just from basically but the sports 2408 02:04:06,640 --> 02:04:09,080 Speaker 2: time because Dan Patrick what was interesting to me, He 2409 02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:11,600 Speaker 2: actually brought up talking about that today the Texas Tech 2410 02:04:11,720 --> 02:04:14,560 Speaker 2: UC game last night because he was going on and 2411 02:04:14,640 --> 02:04:18,720 Speaker 2: on about how bad it sounded. He said, the rims, 2412 02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:21,280 Speaker 2: He said, the rims were so bad, and he said 2413 02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:22,720 Speaker 2: he had to turn the volume off because it was 2414 02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:24,560 Speaker 2: driving him nuts. And you see was missing a bunch 2415 02:04:24,600 --> 02:04:25,040 Speaker 2: of shots. 2416 02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:26,600 Speaker 15: Was it that? 2417 02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:29,440 Speaker 5: Because I didn't get to see it. Was it depth pronounced? 2418 02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:30,720 Speaker 7: Yes, it was it was. 2419 02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:34,200 Speaker 2: It was weird and you see, made their first nine shots, 2420 02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:36,320 Speaker 2: so you didn't notice it then, but every shot he 2421 02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:38,720 Speaker 2: missed after that. They even played the audio on some 2422 02:04:38,840 --> 02:04:41,760 Speaker 2: of the makes and it sounded like he was I 2423 02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:43,040 Speaker 2: don't know if he did, but he was trying to 2424 02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:45,160 Speaker 2: get someone from Texas Tech on to explain it. 2425 02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:46,840 Speaker 32: Wow. 2426 02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,720 Speaker 5: So so it was a clunk sound or what I mean? 2427 02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:51,040 Speaker 5: How was it just irritating? 2428 02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:52,360 Speaker 2: How would you describe it Austin. 2429 02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:54,960 Speaker 3: It was almost like it was a loose, kind of 2430 02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:58,560 Speaker 3: a squeak when it would hit. And you know, they 2431 02:04:58,640 --> 02:05:01,120 Speaker 3: have a bunch of microphone is there and part of 2432 02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:03,800 Speaker 3: it is the way that the microphones or way that 2433 02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:07,160 Speaker 3: the hoop is miked. But he was theorizing that that 2434 02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:12,000 Speaker 3: sound was coming from the rims being loose as opposed 2435 02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:14,080 Speaker 3: to them being really stiff. 2436 02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:17,560 Speaker 5: Like a bolt being loose or something. 2437 02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:20,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. They were loose for Texas Tech shooting, 2438 02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:21,400 Speaker 2: that's for sure. 2439 02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:24,720 Speaker 5: You guys are awesome, like come off with stuff and 2440 02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:27,120 Speaker 5: you got the answers.

I knew they were in trouble. 2459 02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:20,960 Speaker 7: Eleven fifty eight to go, UC had not missed a shot. 2460 02:06:21,080 --> 02:06:23,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were up by five. Did you because this 2461 02:06:23,800 --> 02:06:26,160 Speaker 2: was apparently a big thing with Dan Patrick today, it's 2462 02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:28,080 Speaker 2: been a big thing with some of our listeners. Did 2463 02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:32,640 Speaker 2: you notice the sound of the Rims as everyone else did. Yeah, 2464 02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:33,160 Speaker 2: it was. 2465 02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:36,400 Speaker 7: Odd sounded fine to me. Huh, I was wrong with them, and. 2466 02:06:36,480 --> 02:06:38,760 Speaker 2: Dan Patrick did a whole segment about how bad they sounded, 2467 02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:41,520 Speaker 2: how he had to turn the audio off if you 2468 02:06:41,600 --> 02:06:43,440 Speaker 2: were listening to the radio. Lass and for the first 2469 02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:46,560 Speaker 2: nine nine shots didn't matter wishes, Yeah. 2470 02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,960 Speaker 7: No I didn't. I mean I was there, so I 2471 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,880 Speaker 7: don't know. I didn't watch TV broadcast, But yeah, for 2472 02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:56,440 Speaker 7: for like the first uh eight minutes or so of 2473 02:06:56,480 --> 02:06:59,080 Speaker 7: the game, they were awesome on offense. 2474 02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. Did have no answer for Christian Anderson last night. 2475 02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:05,640 Speaker 2: He was awesome last night. 2476 02:07:05,720 --> 02:07:08,880 Speaker 7: Man, they didn't try as many things as I maybe 2477 02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:11,000 Speaker 7: would have liked to see him try, but I'm not 2478 02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:14,960 Speaker 7: sure it would have mattered. He was awesome. A team 2479 02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:18,120 Speaker 7: is scary, scary even without yeah, the reigning player of 2480 02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:18,480 Speaker 7: the year. 2481 02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:21,440 Speaker 2: In the conference. It's insane to think about. But also 2482 02:07:22,320 --> 02:07:25,240 Speaker 2: if the Bearcats hoped to do anything going forward that 2483 02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:28,760 Speaker 2: the disappearance at times of dayde Thomas has been Yeah, 2484 02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:30,440 Speaker 2: I think alarming. 2485 02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:32,560 Speaker 7: That's the thing though, Like with this team, they've played 2486 02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:36,160 Speaker 7: twenty eight games, and game to game, what are you counting. 2487 02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:40,000 Speaker 2: On as of the last couple Baba Miller and Mustafa Champ, 2488 02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:42,680 Speaker 2: But that's not been consistent every game all year. 2489 02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:45,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, and like I think both guys against Kansas made 2490 02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:48,600 Speaker 7: shots that you don't necessarily go okay going into every game. 2491 02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:50,600 Speaker 2: This is what we have, I thought. I like the 2492 02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:53,880 Speaker 2: fact that they played inside out against Kansas and early 2493 02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:55,880 Speaker 2: last night that I think they got away from it 2494 02:07:55,920 --> 02:07:57,920 Speaker 2: a little bit. But I like playing through the post. 2495 02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 7: I think Mustapha Chomp's good, like I think like legitimately good. 2496 02:08:03,840 --> 02:08:06,240 Speaker 7: I just I don't know what they can go into 2497 02:08:06,320 --> 02:08:08,680 Speaker 7: a game against a good team in that environment and 2498 02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:11,360 Speaker 7: hang their hat on. And so there they are at 2499 02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:14,760 Speaker 7: fifteen and thirteen. But yeah, I'm sure there's gonna be 2500 02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:16,879 Speaker 7: no shortage of people doing the math. 2501 02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:19,360 Speaker 2: To you, am, uh, what do you have coming up 2502 02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:20,240 Speaker 2: on the program? Todack? 2503 02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:22,440 Speaker 7: Like, here's the thing, Like, it's well, if they win 2504 02:08:22,520 --> 02:08:25,680 Speaker 7: their next five, they're in the conversation. Okay, well, yeah, 2505 02:08:25,880 --> 02:08:28,200 Speaker 7: I'm in the conversation to go out with Chloe Fieman. 2506 02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:29,960 Speaker 2: Sure can I go out with her? 2507 02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:30,360 Speaker 30: No? 2508 02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:34,440 Speaker 7: Well we had the conversation like I'm sorry, man, Like 2509 02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:37,080 Speaker 7: I've gotten a bunch of this, Like, well, if they 2510 02:08:37,320 --> 02:08:39,560 Speaker 7: just win like number one, you know what they still 2511 02:08:39,560 --> 02:08:42,200 Speaker 7: have to do. They have to beat BYU here. That's 2512 02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:44,600 Speaker 7: not gonna be easy to go to TCU and will 2513 02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:47,080 Speaker 7: they'll be underdogs in that game and then win multiple 2514 02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:50,280 Speaker 7: games in the conference tournament to be what team number 2515 02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:55,160 Speaker 7: seventy four? Mm hm, Like I I hate to sound annoyed. 2516 02:08:56,160 --> 02:08:56,880 Speaker 7: Maybe I am. 2517 02:08:57,040 --> 02:08:59,000 Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's the same exercise we do 2518 02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:02,360 Speaker 2: seemingly with every team that we talked about, Well, if 2519 02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:04,360 Speaker 2: they hadn't lost that game early on, if they didn't lose, 2520 02:09:04,440 --> 02:09:05,880 Speaker 2: we did it with the Reds, we did it with 2521 02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:06,440 Speaker 2: the Bengals. 2522 02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:09,440 Speaker 7: The problem is not losing Tech. That's a really good team. 2523 02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:11,240 Speaker 7: With a guy in Christian Anderson who was awesome. The 2524 02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:13,760 Speaker 7: problem is it was the thirteenth loss. 2525 02:09:13,560 --> 02:09:16,200 Speaker 2: The Western Michigan's dead laughed in the mouth. 2526 02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:20,120 Speaker 7: Ten and nineteen ten and nineteen like that. Those the 2527 02:09:20,240 --> 02:09:24,160 Speaker 7: Xavier and EMU games loom over this entire season, some 2528 02:09:24,280 --> 02:09:26,520 Speaker 7: of the early season in the Big Twelve. Losses to 2529 02:09:26,600 --> 02:09:31,879 Speaker 7: schools like West Virginia, the UCF game, yeah, the Arizona 2530 02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:35,600 Speaker 7: State loss, like loom over everything at face value. There's 2531 02:09:35,720 --> 02:09:37,920 Speaker 7: no shame in losing on the road to Texas Tech, 2532 02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:42,040 Speaker 7: none whatsoever. The problem is the added importance of those games, 2533 02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:46,040 Speaker 7: and like I you know, hey, if they would have 2534 02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:48,680 Speaker 7: won that game last night, they're on the bubble. Well 2535 02:09:48,680 --> 02:09:50,160 Speaker 7: then you got to play your way off the bubble, 2536 02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:52,120 Speaker 7: which I think is more difficult than people seem to 2537 02:09:52,160 --> 02:09:55,400 Speaker 7: want to realize. But I don't I don't know why 2538 02:09:55,440 --> 02:09:57,720 Speaker 7: it sounds so annoyed with it.

And to me, what I'm 2571 02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:30,160 Speaker 2: kind of at the point here, where can we just 2572 02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:30,960 Speaker 2: take the big swing? 2573 02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:31,680 Speaker 26: Uh? 2574 02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:34,600 Speaker 2: Like that to me sounded like Duke saying, yeah, we 2575 02:11:34,680 --> 02:11:37,400 Speaker 2: could take a big swing, but that that that's a 2576 02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:39,080 Speaker 2: chance that you you miss on it as well. 2577 02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:41,040 Speaker 7: You know, we talked, we did this last week where 2578 02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:44,040 Speaker 7: the Max Crosby thing came up. Yeah, and I did 2579 02:11:44,120 --> 02:11:46,480 Speaker 7: the most annoying thing a human human being can do. 2580 02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:51,200 Speaker 7: I answered a question by asking a question. So should 2581 02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:54,000 Speaker 7: the Bengals trade for Max Crosby? Yeah, that sounds awesome? 2582 02:11:55,000 --> 02:11:59,240 Speaker 7: Can they still satisfy all of their other offseason needs? 2583 02:11:59,280 --> 02:12:00,920 Speaker 7: And if the answer is yes, let's go for it. 2584 02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:05,839 Speaker 7: It feels like they believe that not only is acquiring 2585 02:12:05,920 --> 02:12:07,640 Speaker 7: Max Crosby be going to be a little bit too 2586 02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,720 Speaker 7: bit too rich for their blood, but also like we 2587 02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:10,920 Speaker 7: have all this other stuff to do. 2588 02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:12,400 Speaker 2: What do you mean, Duke Tobin said that you feel 2589 02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:13,360 Speaker 2: like they can win it all? Right now? 2590 02:12:13,480 --> 02:12:15,960 Speaker 7: Okay, well he's kind of in the minority. 2591 02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:20,520 Speaker 2: He did nobody else back to back answers, He said, 2592 02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:21,480 Speaker 2: what do you say we need to. 2593 02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:23,960 Speaker 3: We're good enough to win the Super Bowl, and I 2594 02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:25,960 Speaker 3: know that I'm the only person who thinks that way. 2595 02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:28,320 Speaker 2: We have to get better. Let me ask this Duke. 2596 02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:30,680 Speaker 7: Tobin talked at the end of the season for like 2597 02:12:30,720 --> 02:12:33,160 Speaker 7: an hour the Mega Press conference, and then he talked yesterday, 2598 02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:36,520 Speaker 7: we good on Duke. Those is like this huge yearning 2599 02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:39,000 Speaker 7: to hear from Duke. Now that we have heard from him, 2600 02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:40,240 Speaker 7: are we okay? 2601 02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:43,920 Speaker 2: I can't imagine be to get access at the combine 2602 02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:46,400 Speaker 2: to maybe be around Duke to hear ask those question. 2603 02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:48,880 Speaker 3: I want to know how many other great draft picks 2604 02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:51,960 Speaker 3: he will reference, because he referenced the trade for Joe, 2605 02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:56,480 Speaker 3: he referenced Geno Atkins is a fourth round pick. He 2606 02:12:56,640 --> 02:13:00,320 Speaker 3: referenced Andrew Whitworth as best player available twenty years ago. 2607 02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:02,680 Speaker 7: Sixteen years ago. 2608 02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:05,040 Speaker 2: Was his example of a big sway. 2609 02:13:05,200 --> 02:13:07,000 Speaker 7: I mean, this seems like one of these guys that's like, 2610 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:09,040 Speaker 7: you know, forty one years old talking about what he 2611 02:13:09,080 --> 02:13:09,840 Speaker 7: did in high school. 2612 02:13:09,920 --> 02:13:12,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, That's that's exactly what it is. 2613 02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:15,560 Speaker 7: Is that is that what we're just saying, Oh, we 2614 02:13:15,640 --> 02:13:17,240 Speaker 7: stuff that we did a decade and a half ago 2615 02:13:17,280 --> 02:13:18,680 Speaker 7: that people are for, like, g you know, Atkins been 2616 02:13:18,680 --> 02:13:20,240 Speaker 7: out the league for like six years. 2617 02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:22,120 Speaker 3: Now, but that was it was good about him, the 2618 02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:26,080 Speaker 3: perfect thing to help people realize how they value draft picks. 2619 02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:29,120 Speaker 3: In their mind, every fourth round pick is Geno Atkins. 2620 02:13:29,680 --> 02:13:33,480 Speaker 3: Well that many of them, and as as misguided as 2621 02:13:33,560 --> 02:13:36,880 Speaker 3: that might be, that is that's why they won't trade it. 2622 02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:41,280 Speaker 7: That's he he unveiled it right there. I understand where 2623 02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:42,320 Speaker 7: he's coming from in that regard. 2624 02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:42,600 Speaker 30: I do. 2625 02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:46,200 Speaker 3: Every sixth round pick is Tom Brady, Tom Brady, So 2626 02:13:46,360 --> 02:13:48,920 Speaker 3: take The thing is like, draft picks are valuable, but 2627 02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:51,680 Speaker 3: they don't necessarily have to be spent on players you 2628 02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:53,600 Speaker 3: take out of college like those. 2629 02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:57,880 Speaker 7: That's currency, and it's currency you could use to get 2630 02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,560 Speaker 7: college players cheap labor. It's also current see you could 2631 02:14:00,640 --> 02:14:03,840 Speaker 7: use to get established players. Like, just because you trade 2632 02:14:03,840 --> 02:14:05,960 Speaker 7: a draft pick doesn't mean you don't value it. You're 2633 02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:09,000 Speaker 7: using it to get something. Yep, right, it's it's currency, 2634 02:14:09,080 --> 02:14:12,000 Speaker 7: it's an asset. That's where I think there's a huge disconnect. 2635 02:14:12,040 --> 02:14:14,160 Speaker 7: Could not agree more. Could not agree more. 2636 02:14:14,440 --> 02:14:17,040 Speaker 2: What do you make of the huge walk off win 2637 02:14:17,640 --> 02:14:19,440 Speaker 2: Spring training win number one for the Red. 2638 02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:22,000 Speaker 7: Lly de la Cruz and a Uhano Suarez went back 2639 02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:26,640 Speaker 7: to back.

There's also 2642 02:14:30,800 --> 02:14:32,280 Speaker 7: gonna be a lot of times where it's like runner 2643 02:14:32,320 --> 02:14:36,360 Speaker 7: on second, third, one out, Elly Suarez strikeout back to back, 2644 02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:37,960 Speaker 7: and you're screaming at your TV. 2645 02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:40,560 Speaker 2: But you just kind of have to go with that's 2646 02:14:40,600 --> 02:14:41,560 Speaker 2: what it's going to be this year. 2647 02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:45,320 Speaker 7: Uh yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, with with Gino, 2648 02:14:45,720 --> 02:14:47,840 Speaker 7: there's gonna be a lot of that and not much 2649 02:14:47,920 --> 02:14:50,200 Speaker 7: else besides home runs.
