Speaker 5: Excited for the holiday season.

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Guys, I can't wait for the holiday season. I'm glad

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: it's here. I do have to ask you, Joe, outside

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: of anything Bengal related, what was your take on John

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: Cena's final match?

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 5: So Austin just asked me this question, and I'll give

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 5: it to you in a two part answer. I haven't

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 5: yet seen it, Gracey. You can't see me, and I'm

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 5: not the world's biggest John Cena fan. I understand whose impact,

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: but John Cena I can take or leave it, So

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 5: I'll see it. Haven't seen it yet, but I am

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing it because I understand his impact

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 5: in the wrestling game, so it's a musty.

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: Okay, let's talk about impact. That's the the impact that

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow has on the Cincinnati Bengals. It was just

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: an odd week Joe, from Wednesday's press conference to the

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: way in which Joe played to hearing Jamar Chase talk

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: about Joe after the game. Are you at all concerned

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 3: about number nine right now, whether it's on the field,

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: off the field physically, mentally, what's your level of concern

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: for Joe Burrow.

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: I'm not concerned for Joe Burrow because I believe in

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 5: what he's made of and I think he'll get out

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 5: of whatever rut he's in. I think what you said

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 5: about Jamar talking about it was important because we talk

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: so much about a quarterbacks having to elevate everybody around him.

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: There's a feeling now inside that locker room act or

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 5: what Joe talked about and the way he played on

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 5: Sunday that some of the guys who have been through

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 5: this with him, and you know, you look at the numbers,

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: there aren't a lot of guys anymore who have gone

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: through the twenty one and twenty two years and are

44
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: still around with the Bengals. I think, what eighty percent

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: of the roster has never played in a playoff game.

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: But the guys that have been around here need to

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: uplift him now. And I think that's Jamar, I think

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 5: that's te I think that's some key members of the

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 5: coaching staff who can get him out of whatever emotional

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: rut he's in because how he sounded on Wednesday is

51
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: how he played on Sunday, and we don't expect that

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: from him. He gets a pass, he's earned a pass

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: for a week. I expect him to bounce back with

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 5: a different kind of energy week the Bengals needed, the

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 5: team needs, that, the organization does. But I think that's

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: going to start with Jamar Chase and if t Higgins

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 5: can get out of concussion protocol, I think it starts

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 5: with those two guys as well, rallying around him performing

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 5: at a really high level on Sunday in Miami and

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 5: helping Joe Burrow get past whatever's bothering him.

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: Outside of Joe Burrow's play, it felt like Jamar Chase

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: was a tick off on Sunday. It felt like the

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: offensive line didn't protect in a way that we've seen

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: them play over the last couple of weeks. Where do

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: you point to when looking back on Sunday, do you

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: say just one of those games that you throw away

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: the tape and you move on from, or where do

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: you feel like is the deeper rooted issue with what

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: we saw from this offense Sunday.

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 5: The hardest thing you can do is to point an

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: accusatory finger at a player's effort level, because these guys

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 5: will tell you we get it. The NFL is a

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: wins business, the bottom line business of winning games. But

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: this is fundamental to what they are and who they

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: are as professional athletes, is showing up and performing at

76
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: their highest level no matter what the circumstance is. You know,

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: guys will always tell you it's on film. Guys will

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: always tell you they're competing for jobs. And those two

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: things are accurate and correct. But this is the ultimate

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 5: test of professionalism for this group here the next three weeks,

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: because the situation here at Cincinnati is more unique than

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 5: other teams who are playing out the string, because I'm

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 5: not sure many other cities where teams right now who

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 5: have been eliminated from the playoffs, and just pick your

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns or Las Vegas Raiders came into the season

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 5: of the expectation that the Bengals have had, and an

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: expectation that considers the weight of two straight years not

88
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: making the playoffs and everyone's circling this year and saying, Okay,

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: they better do this or else. Well, we're here now.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 5: The question is what is or else? And we don't

91
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 5: know that answer, And certainly what Paul Daanner Junior wrote

92
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 5: today maybe shed some light on that answer what we're

93
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 5: going to see here in the upcoming offseason. But it's

94
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 5: hard to sit here over the phone talking to you

95
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: and you're a professional, former professional football player in point

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: of figure at a guy's effort. But I can tell

97
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: you that's what it looked like on Sunday. That's what

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: it felt like, and sometimes that can be just as

99
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: damning if you do or you don't. Is just what

100
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 5: the perception is. It felt like the mood and the

101
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 5: tone of the building was set on Wednesday, and they

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 5: played like that on Sunday. Now, can they dig themselves

103
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: out of this the next three weeks and pass that

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: test of professionalism? They know the spotlights on them, they

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: know people are now watching for it. The question is

106
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: will they perform better than they did on Sunday. They

107
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 5: can't perform worse, They're certainly that, but we just want

108
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: to see at this point this team be about the

109
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 5: right stuff, react in the right way, and finish this

110
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: season out the correct way. As of now, we know

111
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: Joe's playing this week and the final three weeks. That

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: could change, we'll see, but if he's going to play,

113
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 5: the standard shouldn't change, and the standard is much higher

114
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 5: than what we saw against the Raiders.

115
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: So does that, in your opinion, that outweigh any conversation

116
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: of sitting guys or making decisions on who to player,

117
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: who not to play. I know you can't go into

118
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: a game and tank outwardly, but you look at the

119
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: holes that this team has going forward and trying to

120
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: get back to what's most important to Joe Burrow, which

121
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: is the super Bowl window. You're I guess a higher

122
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: likelihood to get there if you can get better players

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: in the draft. Do you at all listen to the

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: other side of it, of there is a point to

125
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: resting guys or making decisions on some guys down the

126
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: stretch in order to get a higher draft pick.

127
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: I think it's very nuanced. I think it's a hard

128
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: balancing act, and I think it's a case by case

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 5: basis for each individual player. And I guess we'll start

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: with Joe because that's going to be the most talked

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 5: about one here the rest of this week and then

132
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: going forward the final couple of weeks. I believe the

133
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: organization listens to Joe. We we all know that. But

134
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 5: I also think the organization can't always just give Joe

135
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: what he wants. It's kind of a blank check thought

136
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 5: that if Joe wants to play, Joe's going to play.

137
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: I think it needs to be discussed and talked about

138
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 5: and strategized on a multi level level, and that that

139
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 5: being coaches, front office, ownership, everybody has to be involved

140
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 5: in this. I do believe fundamentally at my core that

141
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: if a guy like Joe Burrow is paid the way

142
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: he's played, if you're paid to do something and you're

143
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: able to do it, you've got to show up and

144
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 5: do it. That's just part of life. You know, you

145
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 5: get paid a lot of money do the work. But

146
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 5: it's more nuanced than that. We get it. But I

147
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 5: also think it goes back to Joe in his happiness

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: Joe's saying that he needs to be happy doing this.

149
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: I'm not sure Joe's going to be happy sitting on

150
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: the bench the final three weeks watching his team play football.

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 5: He worked so hard to get back, and maybe the

152
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 5: motivation was to get back in time to help this

153
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: team make the kind of run they made last year.

154
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 5: Maybe it was just to get back because he misses

155
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 5: the game and loves playing. And if he misses the

156
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: game and loves playing, and that's what he always says,

157
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: I think you have to let the guy play. Considering

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: what he talked about last week, I mean, it would

159
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 5: not be good for Joe's mental health to be sitting

160
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: on the bench and watching this if that's what he

161
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 5: truly wants is to play football. There are case by

162
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 5: case basis throughout the organization. Maybe the t Higgins conversation

163
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: has had where he's had the bad concussion he had

164
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: in the home game and then went to Bolton to

165
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 5: Buffalo and was dinged up a couple of times and

166
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 5: missed the Baltimore games. Maybe there's a conversation about him

167
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: shutting it down for the rest of the year. But

168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: as of goes with Joe Burrow, I think they need

169
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: to let him play, or least for now, have the

170
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: plan to let him play. Considering where he was last

171
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: week and considering how hard he worked to get back,

172
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 5: I believe he pulled the rug out from underneath him.

173
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: It wouldn't do him good and mentally. So if he

174
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 5: wants to play, I think he should play, and I

175
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: think he should. I think he should play because of

176
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 5: how he's paid and and and that that's part of

177
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: his job and he has to perform on Sundays and

178
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: if he's able, he should go. So I'm in agreement

179
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: they should play him, guys, but that should change the week,

180
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: should team if if it continues looking like he did

181
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

182
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: Joe, you sit down with Zach Taylor every week, and

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: yesterday he said that he has a brick wall all

184
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: the way around him that kind of shields him from

185
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: the criticism. He doesn't see it, he doesn't hear it,

186
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: he doesn't pay attention to it. Uh. Do you believe

187
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: that when when he says he doesn't hear the outside noise.

188
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 5: I do believe it. I don't know necessarily if that's

189
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 5: healthy to not have a feeling of what's going on,

190
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: but I do know Zak has a pulse of what's said,

191
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 5: what's being written about him and about the team. He

192
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 5: will famously tell you that he quote doesn't have the

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: Internet on his phone, that he just makes uses it

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: for calling and for texting and to get done when

195
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: he has to get done. But yeah, he doesn't go

196
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 5: on his phone and scroll and look through things. That

197
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: That one is something he'll say publicly, and I believe

198
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: it to be true. I haven't looked at the man's phone,

199
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: but he'll often say that. But he's certainly very aware

200
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 5: of what's said about him. He hears things on the field.

201
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: How could you not hear something coming from the crowd.

202
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: But I do believe it's probably one of those things

203
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: that you have to have a healthy balance UF, just

204
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 5: like we talked about with Burrow. The last question was,

205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: you know, trying to tinker and look at things for

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six and maybe sitting some players but also

207
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 5: put other players, maybe like a Shamar Stewart. You push

208
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: him to get back on the field the final two

209
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: weeks to have a better idea of what he's about.

210
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 5: You keep pushing the rookies to see more of what

211
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 5: they can and can't do with Zach Taylor, it's you've

212
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: got to isolate yourself otherwise it will drive you absolutely crazy. Uh,

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: the criticism. You guys work as well in the public light,

214
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 5: and you know when when you share thoughts or opinions

215
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 5: or whether it's on Twitter or on the show, and

216
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: you're going to get backlash and you see it, and

217
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 5: how can it not bother you? Sometimes when you do

218
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: see it. We're all human beings. So I think it's

219
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: important for Zach to kind of have that, as he

220
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: called it, a brick wall up to keep him insulated

221
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 5: from everything that happens. I know there are things that

222
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 5: bother him if people and he lives a public life.

223
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 5: He has children, he has a wife that his has

224
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 5: sporting events, and it can bother him when people come

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: after his family at those kinds of events. But for

226
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: him to be able to isolate and insulate himself from

227
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 5: all that stuff, I think that's really the only thing

228
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: you can do as a football coach during times like this.

229
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 5: And that's part of hazard pay that that's part of

230
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 5: why you get paid as much as you get paid,

231
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: is that you're going to live this public life and

232
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: you're going to be criticized and people are going to

233
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 5: come at you and say things, and that's part of it.

234
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 5: He gets that, So I think it's important for him

235
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: to understand the voice of the fan base, but also

236
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 5: at the same time to properly do his job and

237
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 5: not be distracted. He probably has to put up that

238
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: quote unquote isolated brickwall to keep him away from what's

239
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 5: being said.

240
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: So, based off of what Paul Dayner Junior wrote today,

241
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: it's more probable than not that Zach is going to

242
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: be the head coach of the Bengals in twenty twenty six.

243
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: If we assume that that's going to be the case,

244
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: how do they fix what went wrong this year? What

245
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 4: is the first step.

246
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: They've got to nail it? In free agency and obviously

247
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: the big decision that will be made on Trey Henderson

248
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: And I don't know. It kind of feels like Trey

249
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 5: poisoned the waters enough that the Bengals wouldn't even bother it.

250
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 5: But you could franchise tag that and have the control

251
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: of that asset again this coming off season with Zach Taylor.

252
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 5: And I want to make one point about this too,

253
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: is you know, you know, we talked so much about

254
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: it being a bottom line business in a wink business,

255
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: and it hasn't been good enough. And Zak will tell

256
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 5: you it hasn't been good enough. And this isn't going

257
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 5: to be me going on a tangent to carry Zach

258
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: Taylor's water. It's more or less an understanding of his

259
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: place in the organization and why the Browns and the

260
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 5: front office would want him to come back for another season,

261
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 5: given that he now has two years on his contract,

262
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 5: and that was new information to me from Paul Dayner

263
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 5: Junior in his article today. But he's the voice of

264
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 5: the organization and it's such a unique space in Cincinnati

265
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: for the head coach and his responsibility to answer questions.

266
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 5: He was taking questions yesterday about the lack of snow

267
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: removal inside the stadium. I mean, the Brown family is

268
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 5: comfortable with him being the voice. And if they're comfortable

269
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: with that, that's a reason. That's the checkpoint. That's the

270
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: check mark for why Zach Taylor will keep his job.

271
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: If he ultimately keeps his job, the other would be

272
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: we would go back to maybe Joe Burrow shouldn't always

273
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: get his way, but his relationship with Zak Taylor is

274
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: going to carry a lot of weight. He loves playing

275
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: for Zak, he loves Zach's scheme, and he's publicly multiple

276
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: times stumped for his head coach. So again another thing

277
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: that's going to carry weight for Zach Taylor's future. But

278
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: if you're talking about them not making major changes, and

279
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: if we were betting people, I think we would all

280
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: bet right now that Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin are

281
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 5: back on their seeing spots in this offseason and going

282
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 5: towards next year. This isn't good enough, they'll tell you that,

283
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 5: but just that's lip service. It's time for change. It's

284
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 5: time for something to change. You know. You look at

285
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: the Chicago Bears and the change they made in their

286
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: voice at coach and boom overnight, all of a sudden,

287
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: they're a completely different team. And if that's not going

288
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: to change, the Bengals have to hit in free agency.

289
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: It can't be just try to draft and develop and

290
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 5: see if we can put together a defense with young players,

291
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: and then you go through this cycle again of young

292
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: players trying to figure it out next year and you

293
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 5: waste another season and all of a sudden, Joe Burrow

294
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: is thirty years old. So I think they have to

295
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: nail it. They have to be aggressive in free agency.

296
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 5: That is the only way for me to see this

297
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: team get out of the rut they're in right now.

298
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 5: The defense has to go from I don't want to

299
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: do another offseason of just get to league average. That

300
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: is so tired in Cincinnati because I don't think league

301
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: average is going to win a Super And if you're

302
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: not playing for Super Bowls, what are you playing for?

303
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 5: And so they have to nail it in free agency.

304
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: The first big decision will be what to do with

305
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: Trey Henderson in that asset. And they have the money,

306
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: they can do it. It's time to make some splashes

307
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: and maybe go back to the twenty twenty one model

308
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: and build this thing through free agency, even though they

309
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 5: don't have the kind of flexibility they had then because

310
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 5: of Joe.

311
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: Jamo's contracts on the defensive side of the ball, Joe,

312
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: you know, Austin mentioned earlier coming out of the bye week,

313
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: outside of you know, the finish in Buffalo, have you

314
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: seen both defensive scheme changes and individual player development that

315
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: do give you some hope and promise for some players

316
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: on that side of the ball.

317
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: You can't see me now but I'm kind of shrugging like, yeah, sure,

318
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: but yeah sure. There's been some individual improvement. Certainly, I

319
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: think the Bengals can now rely on Miles Murphy in

320
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six as a contributor. I think they can

321
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: now look at DJ Turner as their cornerback one. I

322
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 5: think they can look at Joseph o'sai and say, Okay,

323
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 5: maybe we consider bringing him back in twenty twenty six

324
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: as an edge contributor. I think they've seen finally some

325
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 5: flashes from Demetrius Knight, some playmaking to sack Lamar Jackson

326
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: twice to get the interception on Banksgiving Night. They talk

327
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: often about Brett Carter now settling down in the pre

328
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: snap and having a better understanding of where to be,

329
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 5: what to do. I don't know if it's really translated

330
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: in him to playing great football, but those are individuals

331
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 5: who have shown things, and then also the individuals who

332
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 5: have shown they can't do it. That the Geno stones

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 5: of the world. And now we have more information on

334
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 5: Cam Taylor Britt and they understand that they need help

335
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: in the middle on the defensive line. So to me,

336
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 5: it's just as much about seeing individuals who are ascending

337
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 5: as much as it is seeing individuals who have descended

338
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: into shouldn't be back in two thousand in twenty six

339
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 5: and allowing some of those guys to play a full season,

340
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 5: you get a better read on what you have and

341
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 5: what you don't have, And sometimes what you don't have

342
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: is just as important because then you know what you

343
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: have to address in the upcoming offseason.

344
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: What do we have to address right now is what's

345
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: coming up for Fox nineteen. What do you got coming

346
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: up this week? Joe, last full week before the holidays

347
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: are here?

348
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: Next week? What do you got man?

349
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 5: So we're gonna run it back Wednesday night. Tomorrow night.

350
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: We're giving Miles Murphy a second shot. Miles had a

351
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 5: pipe burst last week, a couple of hours before the show,

352
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 5: so we had to cancel mad Joel, you can't drink drin.

353
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 5: Jeremy Row and I were sitting on stage trying to

354
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 5: entertain a poor crowd for an hour when Miles couldn't

355
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: make it. So Miles Murphy and then Jordan Battle Guys.

356
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 5: Battle predicted midweek he was going to intercept Lamar Jackson

357
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: in the second quarter, and he intercepted Lamar Jackson in

358
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 5: the second quarter. It's one of those fun storylines that

359
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: you really can't talk about when the Bengals get shut out.

360
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 5: So we'll talk about it tomorrow night the Big Bengals Party.

361
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 5: Bengals Now live at Newport on the Levee at six o'clock.

362
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 5: It is free, it is warm, get a chance to

363
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 5: get some pictures and some autographs, and we do some

364
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 5: fun storytelling with a couple of Cincinnati Bengals.

365
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome stuff. Any holiday plans for you next week?

366
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 5: I'm taking some time off work, guys, So.

367
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: Man, nice, yeah, say again, You're taking the family down

368
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: to Memphis.

369
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: Say again, Joe, what did you ask for for Christmas? Anything?

370
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: No, I did not ask for anything. I was gonna

371
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 5: ask you, guys, if this is a good presence I have,

372
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 5: say again, I have three children, three boys who love

373
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bengals. Is getting them tickets to the Bengals

374
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: and Cardinals a good gift?

375
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: If Joe Burrow is playing? Yes, yes, I would say so, Okay, okay.

376
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 5: I was wondering about making them sit outside in the

377
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: cold fourteen. It's not going to the playoffs, but two

378
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: of them have never been.

379
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Well, they can't bring cardboard. Make sure they

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: know that hopefully doesn't snow before that thing. Now, I

381
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 4: couldn't believe it when we we were denied at the Interests.

382
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: It was like, really, i'mbelievable to put under your feet

383
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: right to keep? Yeah, yeah, wow tough. That's a bad beat, Audie.

384
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: Bad beat.

385
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: Hmmm.

386
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: I think it's a great gift, Dan. And if that

387
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: doesn't work, we got a couple of bobbleheads for you.

415
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 10: moment of clarity, you see Clifton is clearly the minor leagues.

416
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 10: We are the training grounds for major college sports. We

417
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 10: cannot compete under this broken system. We cannot act like

418
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 10: Ohio State since we don't have the bank like Ohio State.

419
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 10: We must rethink everything, rethink at all from scratch.

420
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 8: Hey, everybody, If anybody knows of a good therapist, free

421
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 8: to share it on Talkbacks, because I've got a I

422
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 8: got a hell of a case in Stockholm syndrome where

423
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 8: I just can't stop caring about the Bengals even though

424
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 8: they just abuse the hell out of me, you know,

425
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 8: but I still love him. Shoot, I wish our marriage

426
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 8: is could be this strong in this country.

427
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: Man.

428
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 8: Sorry, honey, I did it again.

00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 5: Me and Tony got nothing nothing.

434
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 11: We need to start talking about the Reds and any

435
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 11: move that Fraud and the front office can make. Let's

436
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 11: get it done a hundred days of opening day.

437
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: Nick Fraud. Wow, I agree, though, we need something.

438
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Greg.

439
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 12: You know, a couple of years ago it was kind

440
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 12: of suspicious that the Chiefs led their top notch left

441
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 12: tackle where Orlando Brown go? Well, I can tell you

442
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 12: I just put a bow on the season Sunday after

443
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 12: watching him again. Orlando Brown Junior stinks.

444
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: Oh, Chiefs would take him right now in a heartbeat.

445
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 13: There probably Hey Tony, Hey Elsen, it's the Lord, Hi Lord.

448
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 13: looked into it? No, Tony, I think you should represent

449
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 13: Cincinnati and Talkback Nation as a representative for trainer games.

450
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: If it requires something athletic. Tony didn't have much of

451
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 4: a shot. I don't know what trainer games is.

455
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 14: Guy Speakahunick, Kentucky with Paul D's report yesterday that Taylor's

00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 14: got two years left and he's gonna be back.

457
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I hate Taylor.

458
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 14: I mean you all know I want him fired more

459
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 14: than anybody, and I've been on it for five years.

460
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 14: But with that says he's gonna be here, all we

461
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 14: can do is rally behind Taylor. All win for Taylor,

462
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 14: All win for Taylor. I hope he wins. I hope

463
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 14: he wins the Super Bowl next year. I'm turning my

464
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,520

00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: Oh, go ahead, Tony. One of the Bowl games. It

477
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: was a There was like a Best Buy suite and

478
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: you got a certain amount of money that you could

479
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: get whatever you wanted out a sweet and I got

480
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 3: this awesome lazy boy recliner.

481
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: Nice. You still have it all comfortable. I gave it

482
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 4: to my parents. Oh what a guy? But it was nice.

483
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 5: Man.

484
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: I was given a gifted a Kia Optima, the twenty

485
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 4: fifteen Kia Optima. It had a remote start, had heated seats.

486
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: It was like parents customized it a little bit. It

487
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 4: was cool as hell fire. It was totaled in a

488
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: hit and run accident against me. Oh but they'll never

489
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: take those moments back. I missed that car every day,

490
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: especially day like weeks like this week.

491
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: Phil, if you're listening, you need an idea for Christmas?

492
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: It was it was that remote start. That's big time.

493
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: That's big time.

494
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 5: Start one bench, one cut one.

495
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 17: Mike Brown's Christmas List Money blinders, ear muffs.

496
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: I think anyone would always start money. I think this

497
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: time of the year, everybody wants some money. Yeah, you'd

498
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: bench the ear muffs just because you got to be warm,

499
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 3: and then cut the blinders.

500
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: I agree. I bought a shisty that when you know

501
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 4: it goes over your head and your mouth and everything. Yeah,

502
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: that's been one of the best investments of my life.

503
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 4: Nice and I've had it for three days.

504
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 17: Hey, boys, hard to believe that going into the weekend,

505
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 17: I had the path, though it was a narrow going

506
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 17: to the Super Bowl, and coming out of the weekend,

507
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 17: we're now looking for the path. I think we can

508
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 17: get the number one draft pick if things play out right.

509
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: Possible.

510
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 17: Uh, check me on the tie breaker, but I think wecam.

511
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 4: I think the Bengals can pick anywhere from one to sixteen.

512
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: Why I saw that tank. If I saw that correctly

513
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 4: from our guy Joe Goodberry, I'm pretty sure it's between

514
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: one and sixteen.

515
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 7: Tony Austin old man grumpy. Hey, I don't want to

516
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: be a one trick pony. But what will it take

517
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 7: for Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin to get fired? I

518
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 7: don't understand losing games when they score forty, quarterback losing

519
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 7: faith in his ability, and getting beat twenty four to

520
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: nothing when the season's on the line. I just don't

521
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 7: understand it.

522
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 5: Enlighten me.

523
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: The answer is nothing, as we talked earlier. Nothing. We'll

524
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: change that. Kudos to Paul for the article.

525
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 18: But the bottom line problem here is you could offer

526
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 18: them seven billion dollars for a team worth six and

527
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 18: they wouldn't take it.

528
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: It's just all they.

529
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 18: Know, and they're not going to build a house in

530
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 18: Turks and caicos and drink umbrella drinks. And just as

531
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 18: bad that the two youngsters on the way up are

532
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 18: learning from mom and grandpa.

533
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 4: It seems like we're an inevitable loop here.

534
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 19: Almost those guy's got it all figured out for next year.

535
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 19: I think that they can probably just go zero to

536
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 19: six and then just win the last ten games and

537
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 19: go in there with a ten and six record.

538
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: Well, they've all figured out. They camp fire him. Now,

539
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: what about the other game still going to play? Seventeen?

540
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 16: Hey, Jeff and Casey here on your debate about should

541
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 16: we try to win these games? Let Joe Burrow play

542
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 16: or do we more about draft pick placement?

543
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: Uh?

544
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 16: Losing is never good. Trust me, watching those teams all

545
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 16: through the nineties and the early two thousands, what all

546
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 16: you had to root for was draft pick placement. It's

547
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 16: not worth it. You can't let losing mindset in the building.

548
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 16: You need to to win.

549
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: He needs to play, Okay, I agree, all right?

550
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 10: Reggie Sanders, Cincinnati Red Hall of Famer.

551
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: I love it.

552
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 6: The guy who's struck out nineteen times during the playoffs

553
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five.

554
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 10: That's very exciting. Who's next, Bip Roberts? Oh hee, raise

555
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 10: your hand if you're Shrek.

556
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: I love it.

557
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 10: You know what would have been even more exciting had

558
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 10: the Red signed Kyle Schwarber.

559
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: Did you know he was from Middletown?

560
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 10: And did you know Joe Burrow is the exact same

561
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 10: age as an man?

562
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll Roberts slander. Unfortunate that the Reggie Sanders will

563
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 4: always be remembered for the postseason, but his ninety five

564
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: regular season was, I mean, one of the best in

565
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: Red's history.

566
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 6: As the screens get louder for change from the fan base,

567
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 6: do people like Caroline and Elizabeth who have a pulse

568
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 6: on the fans, how are they inputting to the family

569
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: do we think and are they taking some of that

570
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 6: into consideration? I Mike and Mike and Katy, because they

571
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 6: have to be listening to this somewhere, and how is

572
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: that working behind the scenes.

573
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: I can promise you that there is more consideration to

574
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: the external view of the franchise than at any point

575
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: in its history. I don't know that it has much weight.

576
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: I would say it still carries very little weight. But

577
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: I know that it is discussed and thought about more

578
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: than any other point yep in the history of the franchise.

579
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 20: Question fellas, Okay, who do you start Fantasy Championship Week?

580
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow or Matthew Stafford. Oh that's tough. Adam's hurt

581
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: Mkua banged up in Seattle. But Joe Burrow just came

582
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: off a game with zero points. I do believe that

583
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: playing in Miami and coming off that performance, Burrow will

584
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: at least to Borrow. I think I know we'll make

585
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: it a point to bounce back in a big way.

586
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: Might have to Leen Burrow. Is it a two week game? Oh, point,

587
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 4: it's a two week game. I might go Burrow this week,

588
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: Stafford next week.

589
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 21: Shout out to a really solid Cincinnati read Hall of

590
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 21: Fame class, Brandon Phillips, who was an automatic shoe in

591
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 21: lou Panilla, Aaron Harangue, and the very underrated Reggie Sanders.

592
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 21: Congratulations to Reggie Sanders, one of my favorite Reds players

593
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 21: of all time.

594
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 22: Yes, sir, will the Bengals sign some top tier free

595
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 22: agents next year?

596
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 23: Say again?

597
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 22: Will the Bengals sign some top tier free agents next year?

598
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: Say again?

599
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 22: Will the Reds sign a power hitter by next year?

600
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 5: Say again?

601
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 22: And the red sign a power hitter next season? Say again?

602
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: Well done? Can I play Devil's advocate for a moment?

603
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: Well done? Sure, Bengals fans wanted them to sign Dalton Reisner,

604
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: they did. They wanted them to to sign Noah Fan

605
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: they did. They wanted him to sign Trey Hendrickson they did.

606
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: They did also sign Lucas Patrick, although that clearly wasn't

607
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: the best move, but they they tried to beef up

608
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: that position, like all of the free agents that I

609
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: can think of that people really wanted them to sign

610
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: in that back half leading into the season. They did. Right,

611
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 4: Is there anyone like I'm sure?

612
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like the Risner thing came

613
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: because all the other guys were taken because they didn't

614
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: do anything fair.

615
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: Yes, and it was way late in the process. Availability

616
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: I know there's some guys I'm missing, And I'm not

617
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 4: saying that they couldn't have done more, but I do

618
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 4: feel like that's kind of lost. Is they did sign

619
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 4: all those guys.

620
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm probably too late, but they Reggie Sanders, that's

621
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 9: a blast from the past.

622
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,080

643
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,319

653
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 3: this here, Austin, because as we get into this week,

654
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: we dive a little bit deeper into the college football

655
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 3: bowl season, including the College Football Playoff now Wednesday, of course,

656

Speaker 3: and South Florida of course, the sixty eight Ventures Bowl,

658
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: Xbox Bowl.

659
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 4: That makes all that makes me want to throw up

660
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 4: Myrtle Beach Bowl. You think of anything I care about less.

661
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: Union Home Mortgage gas Parilla Bowl. That all leads up

662
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: between tomorrow and Friday. And then you do get.

663
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 4: If you didn't have to work, would you watch the

664
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 4: Bearcats and the Liberty Bowl? Yes?

665
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: Just because it's rucy. Yeah, I would still watch, although

666
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 3: I don't thought the standard was hired. We'll hear from

667
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: Scott Souderfield. I don't know at this point the rate

668
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: it's going, if they'll have a team to play in

669
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: that bowl game. But we'll dive into that.

670
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 4: And are you familiarizing yourself at the bottom of the

671
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 4: depth chart in preparation a little bit? You gotta dive deep.

672
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: But Friday night brings us the first college football playoff game.

673
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 3: It's gonna be in Norman, Oklahoma, Oklahoma and Alabama. Saturday

674
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: you get Miami at Texas A and m TU Lane

675
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 3: at Old Miss, and then of course James Madison at Oregon.

676
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 3: I don't think the Oregon and James Madison game will

677
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: be close. That's a twenty one point spread. I don't

678
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: see the Old Miss game being close. That's a seventeen

679
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: and a half point spread.

680
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: Which begs the question, because those games are going to

681
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 4: be going on at the same time, Tony as the

682
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: NFL games, what are you gonna be? What do you watch? NFL? Okay?

683
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 3: Also like the Old Miss t lane thing. Old Miss

684
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 3: beat him forty five to ten this year. It's a rematch. Yeah,

685
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: I am interested though, and I think the spreads speak

686
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 3: volumes in those Texas and Miami, Oklahoma Alabama sure easily

687
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: the best first round games you're gonna have.

688
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 4: Saturday games in the NFL five pm Eagles at Commanders.

689
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 4: Not like that's a great matchup either.

690
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 11: No.

691
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: And eight twenty pm Packers Bears. Now that's a good

692
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: one now that I'm interested in. I mean, Packers Bears

693
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 4: are James Madison and Oregon. Yeah, come on, I'm gonna

694
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 4: take Packers Bears. But and this is obviously thinking through

695
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 4: the lens of you can only watch one. It's twenty

696
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 4: twenty five. You can watch both at once. We know

697
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 4: how it works, but I would I don't know that

698
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm all that excited for either one of those late games,

699
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,479
Speaker 4: but I am excited for Friday night and the noon games.

700
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

701
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy is the the Friday night game

702
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 3: you could still get in one hundred and seventy seven bucks.

703
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 4: Is it gonna snow there? I don't know, No, it

704
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: would be it's gonna be fifty one at Oklahoma? Oh okay?

705
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: What is What is interesting though, if you look at

706
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: all these games Oregon right now that get in prices

707
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: eighty seven dollars, Old Miss, Tulane three hundred and six, yeah,

708
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: a and m Miami two ninety six Oklahoma Alabama won

709
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: seventy seven Yeah, to go to those games.

710
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 4: So some of those bigger fan base are probably saving

711
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 4: their money in the event that they win to go

712
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: travel to one of those bowl games. Sure against one

713
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: of the buy teams, but yeah, I mean schools like

714
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 4: Old Miss, you know, they may never get back to

715
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 4: the playoff. Sure their direction they're going.

716
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,680

Speaker 3: there for who it's two? Sure, it was not an

779
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 3: enjoyable experience. I think, you know, I'm not perfect presence.

780
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 3: I'm never like all that good at it. By the

781
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: time I get to like the third or the fourth one,

782
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: I got it down, but then I don't do it

783
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 3: again for a year, so I forget how to do it.

784
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: I still still like I cut paper that I could buy.

785
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 3: That to me is cutting the paper.

786
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 4: I like the imperfections in wrapping a present. I think

787
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 4: that that's you know, I'm guilty of using too much tape.

788
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 4: I do that too. I use too much tape. Well,

789
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 4: when you don't do the folds and everything correctly, you

790
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: it's everywhere. And I do.

791
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 3: I wish I could get like pre cut, normal sized

792
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: box wrapping paper that's already done. Sure, I think cutting

793
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 3: the wrapping paper is the worst part.

794
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think about that at all. I

795
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 4: think that's the easiest part. I dislike it. But it's

796
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 4: not difficult. No, it's just it's just awkward for you.

797
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 4: It's awkward, yeah, but it shouldn't be. You've got long.

798
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 3: Arm cutting it. Does it get snagged? Are you cutting

799
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 3: in a straight line?

800
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 4: Do you not have the wrapping paper with the grid

801
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 4: lines on it? Yeah? So do you? Or do you not?

802
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 4: I do? I'm just not great at it. I'm just

803
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: not great. I wonder it was six for twelve. You

804
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 4: can't line that up a couple of drops. How are

805
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 4: you expected to hit some?

806
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: Well, it depends you know. What are you cutting with

807
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: the right hand cutting with the left hand? You're snagging anything.

808
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: There's a lot that goes into this. What did you

809
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: ask for for Christmas? That's a good question. I asked, Uh,

810
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: I asked for a PlayStation. I won't get that.

811
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 24: What are you gonna what are you going to have

812
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 24: time for that? That's that's what you want to join

813
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 24: my Madden Listen. As soon as I asked for the PlayStation,

814
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 24: that's what I was told. When do you get have

815
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 24: time to play anything? So that got shot down.

816
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: There was a point I thought, you if you've seen

817
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 3: those like glasses that like they're not prescription, but you

818
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: wear them and they can like video stuff or you

819
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: can ask the glasses stuff.

820
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 4: Yeah. Our our coworker, Tray wears them all the time.

821
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 4: He takes pictures of me.

822
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to do that, and then she said the

823
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 3: same thing. You'll never use that. You would get a

824
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: lot of fun out of that, yeah something. Well, then

825
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: don't ask me what I want. Yeah, then just get

826
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 3: me gift cards. If you have no intention of yeah,

827
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 3: getting me what I want? Why would you ask.

828
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 4: Give me a gift card. Have you seen like those

00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,120

00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,640
