I think it's come to a point 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: where we at least have to have a discussion about 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: what's going on with Hunter Green. And when I say 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: what's going on with Hunter Green, I mean the I 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: would say whispers, the rumblings that there are some within 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: the organization that may be unhappy with Hunter Green. That 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: was the topic of conversation on a very recent article 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: with the Cincinnati Reds On Sports Illustrated, Greg Kufner wrote 35 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: an article some member of the Reds organization may be 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: unhappy with Hunter Green, goes on to talk about Hunter 37 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: Green trade Rumors continue to swirl. Would the Reds trade him? 38 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: We'll discuss that at some point this afternoon. Also tonight, 39 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: college basketball slate is a good one. Xavier is going 40 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: to play host to Old Dominion at the Centas Center. 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: Louisville. 42 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: U See's opponent on Friday night is up to number 43 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: six in the college basketball rankings, and we have a 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 3: pair of top twenty five matchups tonight. Duke takes on 45 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: Kansas and the twelfth rank Kentucky Wildcats take on Tom 46 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: Izzo's Michigan State Spartans. We will talk all things college 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: basketball as well. Let's get you up to speak with 48 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: everything else going on in the sports world, and we'll 49 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: take your phone calls along the way. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: fifteen thirty Monday Night Football. Last night, Austin, Monday Night Football. 51 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: It was an impressive one for the Dallas Cowboys. Is 52 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: there a correlation that Logan Wilson comes to the Cowboys 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden that defense looked okay? 54 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: I don't know that Logan Wilson is the correlation, but 55 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: Quinn Williams looked pretty damn good. Williams wasn't bad. The 56 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: Raiders also continue to have struggles with their offensive line, 57 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: and I saw a little bit of that last night 58 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: as well. Dak Prescott looked good last night. Dak Prescott 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: looked George Pickens looked good last night. Now, George Pickens 60 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: and Ceedee Lamb both didn't participate in this opening drive 61 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: for the Cowboys, and what appeared to be a coach's 62 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: decision slash disciplinary something. Brian Schottenheimer was then pretty buddy 63 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: buddy with him on the sideline after that. So not 64 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: sure what to make of that. But the Cowboys, you know, 65 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: they look better, and they have a big game coming 66 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: up against Philadelphia team They're able to beat Philadelphia and 67 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: then right back in it. You know, I don't think 68 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: it's crazy to think that with a marginally better defense, 69 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys could make some noise in the NF. 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: They added Quinn Williams, they added Logan Wilson. They also 71 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 3: the George Pickens move makes a lot more. George Pickens 72 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: is playing extremely well. That seems to be a good 73 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: fit alongside Ceed Lamb, Jake Ferguson. That's a good offense. 74 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: That is a good offense in Dallas. They round off 75 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: the uh what is it? Week eleven of the NFL 76 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: slate last night with a big win over the Las 77 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders, who by the way, fall to two and 78 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: eight on the season. I expected a little more from 79 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: the Raiders, expected a little more from Pete Carroll. 80 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: Especially when you consider Week one they beat the New 81 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: England Patriots in New England. Yeah, kind of hard to believe. Yep. 82 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: How about this speaking hard to believe? We keep having 83 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: these NFL plays is getting their homes broken into. 84 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: What's up with this? It's the same. 85 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: Situation we've been dealing with for a long time. Shaud 86 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: Door Sanders had his home broken into during his NFL debut. 87 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: In the last year or so, burglaries have taken place 88 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: at the homes of Luka Doncik, Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes, 89 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, Shador Sanders. 90 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: We'd be better with this, isn't there. I want to 91 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: say there was another NBA guy too, maybe a couple 92 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: of NBA guys. It's just the unfortunate reality of the 93 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: world in which we live. When people know where you're 94 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: gonna be and you're gonna be away, and if you 95 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: do anything to make your address or your whereabouts known, yeah, 96 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: you become a target for some of these people. 97 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: True, there is a new coach in place in college football, 98 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: James Franklin has agreed to become the new head coach 99 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: of the Virginia Tech Hokies. 100 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: You can't lose any big games if you don't play 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: in any big games. 102 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: Moiger asked me yesterday when we talked about this news 103 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: a little bit. Do you think the sports world will 104 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 3: come together and rejoice when he loses games at Virginia 105 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: Tech like the sports world did when he lost games 106 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: at Penn State. 107 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: No, because Virginia Tech is irrelevant. Penn State was relevant 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: because of the years of Joe Paterno, and then they 109 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: became a punching bag, and deservedly so for the Paterno 110 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: and Jerry Sandusky situation where people rooted against them and 111 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: wanted that program to fail. And so when they rose 112 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: back to national prominence, and there was always this this 113 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 2: arrogance about Penn State that I perceived that they thought 114 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: they were a little bit bigger and better and more 115 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: important than they really were. Sure, and so teams would 116 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: revel in the losses of Penn State, and yeah, it was. 117 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: It was a beautiful day. I think James Franklin's a 118 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: good guy. I just never really rooted for him to win. Sure, 119 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people feel that way 120 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: about Penn State because of their past crimes. Yeah, how 121 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: about And I hope that's how people feel. And I 122 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: know that's how people feel about Ohio State. People think 123 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: they're arrogant, root against them, want them to lose. Bama 124 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: is that same way, Michigan is that same way. It's 125 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: that's you know, one of the foundational pieces of college 126 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: football is hate watching against other people. It is it is. 127 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: How about this? 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: Speaking of the college football coaching carousel, Old Miss has 129 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: handed Lane Kiffen an ultimatum. Oh boy, Now he is 130 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: a rumored candidate of LSU and Florida openings, and so 131 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: Old Miss came back and said, here you go, buddy, 132 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: You're gonna have to decide on your future by November 133 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: twenty eighth for the Egg Bowl. Do you do you 134 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: agree with this from Old Miss? Because here's a team 135 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: at Old Miss. They are in the thick of the 136 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: college football playoff race, They're trying to play for a 137 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: national title, and yet Lane Kiffin is openly being courted 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: by touple schools right now. Do you agree with Old 139 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: Miss coming in and saying, hey, We're gonna give you 140 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: an ultimatum here, you gotta let us know by this date. 141 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the best seasons in ole 142 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: Miss football. Lane Kiffin is one of the highest paid 143 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: coaches in college football. He's obviously done a lot of 144 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: good things here, and it's embarrassing for them, insulting for them, 145 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: insulting for the players on the team to have Lane 146 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: Kiffin gallivanting around to other SEC schools in the midst 147 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: of a season in which you're expected to go to 148 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: the college football Playoff and compete for a national championship. 149 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 2: Old Miss has treated Lane Kiffin really well, treated his 150 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: family really well, paid him handsomely. So they have the 151 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 2: right to say, hey, man, you have a month to 152 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: figure this out, because we got to get a jump 153 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: start on what we're gonna do if you decide to leave, 154 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: and we're not going to be dealing with this mess 155 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: in the postseason. Yeah. And I think it's kind of 156 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: similar to we're right around the time where the portal 157 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: opens up, right, yes, so makes other players have to 158 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: make that decision, and other players have already entered the portal, 159 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: So it's kind of aligning with that. It's like Okay, 160 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: we need to figure out what our coach is going 161 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, a local wise, hope, I hope he 162 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: doesn't leave. I too, it'll be good for college football 163 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: to have him stay. I think it would be obviously, 164 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: like it's entertaining if he goes somewhere else. But I've 165 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: been enamored by his role in the success of Old Miss. 166 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 2: I think he's a fascinating end. It's also very open. 167 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: He's brought a level of relevance to Old Miss that 168 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: maybe they haven't had in a while. I think it 169 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: would be fun if he was the head coach of 170 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: the New York Giants, but I don't think that's going 171 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: to happen. But I think it's totally fair for Old 172 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: Miss to say, hey man, figure it out. 173 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 3: A couple other injury notes, Justice Haynes, the running back 174 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: for Michigan, is likely out for the rest of the 175 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: regular season, which means that at Cincinnati and Mohler product 176 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 3: Jordan Marshall is in the top running back slot now. 177 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: He moved into that role, but left Saturday's game against 178 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: Northwestern with the shoulder injury. The X rayce came back clean, 179 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: so he's day to day, but that would mean that 180 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: Mohler's Jordan Marshall would now be the lead back for 181 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 3: the Michigan Wolverines. And speaking of injury news, Tom Pella 182 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: Sero reporting earlier today that Aaron Rodgers has underwent further 183 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: test that confirmed he won't need surgery on his fractured 184 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: left wrist. Rogers is pushing to play Sunday at Chicago, 185 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: but doctors must clear him and the status is still 186 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: to be determined. 187 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: I like Aaron Rodgers. I like the rivalry that he 188 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: has with the Chicago Bears. I would not be rooting 189 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I would like to see 190 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: him play Chicago in Chicago, maybe the last time. Yeah, 191 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: I would be interested to see that. I hope that 192 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: he is able to play, and also I don't know 193 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: that he gives them the best chance to win, So 194 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: this part, I don't know. It might actually be, you know, 195 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: both those things being a positive. Yeah. By the way, 196 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: you mentioned high school football, you mentioned Mohler. Have you 197 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: seen this grassroots campaign continuing to garner strength led by 198 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: one of our own rocky boymen. Yeah, try to get 199 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: this game between Seinex and Elder to be played at 200 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: pay Corp Stadium. Oh HSAA, figure it out. That's not 201 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 2: a bright organization. 202 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: Listen, and what we're learning as well, like the tickets 203 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: went on sale like during school hours, so a lot 204 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 3: of I'm hearing a lot of the students missed out 205 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: on getting tickets as well because it's sold out an 206 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: under an hour, so now students aren't able to get 207 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: their tickets. Families have been struggling to get their tickets. 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 3: According to Rocky Boyman, folks that he's talked to at 209 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: the Bengals and Hamilton County are on board to put 210 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: it at pay Corps. He says, give the fans an 211 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 3: opportunity to witness an epic game, lots more money made, 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: everybody wins. 213 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 2: Doesn't seem like the OHSAA is going to budge on this, 214 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: which is again not a surprise that organization is. 215 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 3: And we did find out more or that there is 216 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: something along the lines of recruiting that prevented from being 217 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 3: at Knippert which is another stupid rule. 218 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: Agree because there are no rules in college football. Non, 219 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: why does it matter if there are games being played there? Like, 220 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: it's just it's Scott Sanderfield was at the same next 221 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: game last week. Yep, he was on the sideline's Okay, 222 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: what's the difference. I don't understand. It's not like if 223 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: that game, especially now with the Shakeley Athletic Center that 224 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: you see has that's where football is. Their operations are 225 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: all in there, correct, It's not like the locker room 226 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: or locker rooms at Nippert Stadium or they're using the 227 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: facility or everything. That's a huge recruiting advantage. I don't 228 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 2: understand that at all. Also, most of those kids have 229 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: been a Nippert at one point in their life. I 230 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: don't understand. 231 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, taking away from the kids more than anything, for 232 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 3: a chance to play a really cool a really cool atmosphere. 233 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: It's all about the game. 234 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: I hope something changes. I don't see it changing because 235 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 3: I already Tuesday operates. 236 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 4: Uh. 237 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 3: The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ballot was released yesterday. 238 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 3: Cole Hamils, Ryan Bron Matt Kemp among twelve newcomers on 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame ballot, and Carlos Beltron heads fifteen 240 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: holdovers after falling nineteen votes shy in twenty twenty five. 241 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 3: Any of these names do anything for you, Howie Kendrick, 242 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: Daniel Murphy, Rick Porcello, Shin Shu Chew Shin, Sue Chew, 243 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: Edwin En Carnacion, Geo Gonzalez, Alex Gordon, Nick Markakis, Hunter Pence, anyone, anyone. 244 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: I've looked at this. I've been looking at this list. 245 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a lot on there, Yeah, 246 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: that I consider Hall of famer. I think a Rod 247 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: and many are Ryan Bron. Where do you stand on No, 248 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: Ryan Bron. I don't like Ryan Bron now. I was 249 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 2: about to say Ryan Bron cheated, which he did, min 250 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: Sooad Manny and Alex Uh, what do you like? How 251 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: do you feel about the steroid guys? Put him in? Yeah, 252 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: put him in. I do think it's an important chapter 253 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: in baseball's history. I also thought in his prime, Carlos 254 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: Beltron was a dog. I think of this list that 255 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: I'm looking at, I think Carlos Beltron, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez. 256 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: I think you can make the case for Andrew Jones, 257 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: Cole Hamil's, maybe Jimmy Rollins four time. Other than that, 258 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's if those other guys are 259 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: Hall of Famers. Yeah. 260 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: Hamils was a four time All Star, three four three 261 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: E R a MVP of the two thousand and eight 262 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: NL Championship Series won a World Series. I could see 263 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: maybe that, but the other's not so much. I would 264 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: have to look at the numbers on David Wright. I 265 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: feel like his numbers Captain America might surprise me. Captain 266 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: America Shinzu Chu should be in for his one season 267 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: with the Reds unbelievable season. Historical says that might be 268 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: enough to get him into the Reds Hall of Fame. 269 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: I'd think so. Josh Hamilton, Josh Hamilton's runner shoind Sue Chew. 270 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: I remember it was it opening day when Hamilton came 271 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: in as a defensive replacement late in the game, and 272 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: you would have thought that the World Series was happening 273 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: when he made his return to baseball at the Reds. 274 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: Yes, good for him. I like the story of Josh Hamilton. 275 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: Let's take a break, let's come back, Let's get into 276 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: the thick of it.

He gets a lot of respect that way, 305 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 7: and so guys try to do a lot of things 306 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 7: to get his attention and get him off his game. 307 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 7: And I've always thought it was unbelievable Always handled himself 308 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 7: in some really high pressure emotional decisions. Obviously, what happened 309 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 7: just crossed my line. We can't have that, and I 310 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 7: know he'll own up to that. But beyond that, I've 311 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 7: I've always had up here and praise Jamorrow because he's 312 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 7: he's one of the best leaders we've got. The way 313 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 7: he goes about everything, he plays with the tumbled emotion, 314 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 7: he plays with a ton of leadership. Our guys respond 315 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 7: to that, and I've always appreciated Always handled himself. 316 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 8: I guess the reason I ask you is because you're 317 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 8: really the only one you have to talk to a 318 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 8: new organization that can reflect how the organization feels after 319 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 8: a really unfortunate, ugly moment like yesterday. 320 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, and how do you feel?

So making one mistake doesn't disregard everything this 325 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 7: guy's done that's been positive for us. 326 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 6: And so I think that's what you're asking. I really 327 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 6: don't know what you're asking. 328 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 7: But again, I can't say enough positive things about Jamar 329 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 7: and think about the amount of situations people tried to 330 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 7: put him in in the way that he's always responded. 331 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 7: We're not all perfect. We're going to make a mistake 332 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 7: here and there. But I stand by Jamara, and I 333 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 7: know is an emotional situation. I know there's a lot 334 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 7: of things going on there that lead to things like that, 335 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 7: and again, we'll just continue to move forward. 336 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 3: So I see what's happening here, and I'll give Mike 337 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: Petralli your credit because he's asking what everyone's been talking about. 338 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 3: And I think Zach new to Austin it wasn't about 339 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, and I thought what Jamar Chase said multiple 340 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: times about Jamar Chase was very impressive and resounding to 341 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 3: how he feels and how so many feel about Jamar Chase. 342 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 3: The side of it, though, that Trags is trying to 343 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: get out. I believe is that we don't get to 344 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: hear from anyone else in the organization, didn't get to 345 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 3: hear during the bye week. Now this incident happens, there's 346 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: a perception there are people talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, 347 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: but we don't get to hear from anyone else. So 348 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: what are those other folks talking about? What are they saying? 349 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: Zach knows what's happening. I just don't think Zach can 350 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: talk about what's happening. But I do appreciate the question 351 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 3: for Mike Petralia. 352 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think anytime you can try to get some 353 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 2: sort of understanding about what the front office and ownership 354 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: is thinking or there's a major reacting, then I think 355 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: we should always search for that. We often only see 356 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 2: it in statements when a player is released or traded 357 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 2: or something along those lines. Now I understand Traggs is 358 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: asking that question knowing that Zach Taylor's not going to 359 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: speak on behalf of Duke or Mike or Katie or Troy. 360 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: He's never done that, he never will do that. But 361 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 2: I do think it's a fair question to say, what 362 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: have the internal conversation's been like? Considering the way that 363 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: the organization is currently being viewed because the Bengals are 364 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: in the eye of the national media. They have been 365 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: for the last several months with the Higgins contract and 366 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: Chase and Hendrickson and all of it. Injury and Yeah, 367 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: this belief now by some We talked about it a 368 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: couple weeks ago that the Bengals could soon be facing 369 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: trade demands from Joe Burrow. We all think that's bs, 370 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: but there is a curiosity to know what do those 371 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: people think and how are they reacting to it. 372 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 10: Now. 373 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: I don't know that he's ever going to get that answer. 374 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: I appreciate that he asked the question. I know Zach 375 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: completely dodged it, and Zach knows exactly what he's asking. However, 376 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: I will say this, I also I've listened to that 377 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 2: answer probably four or five times now. I do think 378 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: there's a possibility that Zach's answer is reflective of what 379 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 2: they would say. We've talked a lot about, you know, 380 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: Mike Brown and the Brown family being willing to give 381 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: second chances. Guys like Chris Henry, guys like vontez Perfect, 382 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: guys like pac Man Jones that have gotten multiple opportunities 383 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: over and over and over again, and I think they 384 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: probably view it the same way Zach articulated it, which 385 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: is because Jamar Chase made one mistake doesn't warrant us 386 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: reacting overreacting to it. He understands he's been about all 387 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: the right things. He screwed up one time. That doesn't 388 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 2: mean that he should be crucified for it. And maybe 389 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: that's what I thought. 390 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 3: I think I thought it was more of, you know, 391 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: just the season and how it's unfolded. We don't get 392 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: a chance to talk or hear from anyone, and it 393 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 3: is Zach up there a lot of times, and it 394 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: was him again yesterday having to answer to those questions. 395 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: I've been thinking about this too, because you know, well 396 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: we can get to it at the end of this segment, 397 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: I thought, Zach on the tackling, Yes, Zach, we talked a. 398 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 11: Lot about tackling here this year. How concerned you when. 399 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 12: You watch yesterday's tape and some of the effort in 400 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 12: some of the tackles and some of the that aspect 401 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 12: of it beyond anything else. 402 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. 403 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 7: I understand some of it looks looks bad. You can't 404 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 7: run from that. And the hard part was there were 405 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 7: some situations. We were great on first and second down. 406 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 7: We got him into the situations we wanted, you know, second, long, 407 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 7: third and long, and then you just got to get 408 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 7: a guy down in space, and we didn't do a 409 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 7: good enough job of that. 410 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 6: So I can't say a lot more about it. 411 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 7: We've we've talked about it, We talked about it industry, 412 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 7: we work on it. We do every technique we can 413 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 7: possibly do in the game. We just gotta we got 414 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 7: to let it happen, and it hasn't happened on a 415 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 7: consistent basis. There were some examples just to that were 416 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 7: really good, you know, some that maybe hadn't shown up 417 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 7: as much, but I thought there were some really good ones. 418 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 7: One from JV stands up on the Perimeter, Jordan Battle, 419 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 7: dax Hill came Table, Britt fitting up, you know, pin 420 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 7: in the hips. So there were some that I thought 421 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 7: were really good and then some obviously where we've got 422 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 7: to be better to get us off the field on 423 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 7: some critical moments. 424 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: And said, you know, you don't anticipate any personality tackling. 425 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: Why why why is that. 426 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 11: Not an answer? 427 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 6: Well, tackling is not the only thing we have to 428 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 6: factor in. 429 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 7: We have to factor in knowledge of the defense and 430 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 7: ability to get lined up and play coverages and respond 431 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 7: to the run game. 432 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 6: And so there's more than just tackling. 433 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 7: It's frustrating when tackling is an issue, but there's a 434 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 7: lot more that goes into whether player players not. We 435 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 7: factor in everything, and we talk about these things every 436 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 7: week on whether we want to make a personal. 437 00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 6: Decision or not. 438 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 7: But there's just more that's got a factor into it 439 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 7: than one element of his game. And there are times, 440 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 7: I'm sure there's been times where there's been one element 441 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 7: that's been a deciding factor on whether guys players or not. 442 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 7: But I think in some of these cases that you're 443 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 7: probably bringing up, there's more to it that plays into it, 444 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 7: and we have to make a sound decision. We're not 445 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 7: afraid to make a decision if we think that there's 446 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 7: a better way to approach it. If we don't know 447 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 7: that there's a better way to necessarily approach something, then 448 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 7: we'll keep trying to fix the ones with the guys 449 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 7: we got when it comes to all. 450 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: Right, so very I think this is Zach going in 451 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: a little more detail. He was asked after the game 452 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 3: about personnel changes. He shot it down immediately. This is 453 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 3: just peeling back the curtain a little bit into It's 454 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: more than just can we substitute a guy in that 455 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 3: can tackle better? It's do they fit in the system? 456 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: Do they know their responsibility to the other calls their checks? 457 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: Are they getting everyone else lined up? Are they lined 458 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: up correctly? There's a lot that goes into it, and 459 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 3: a lot of tackling is effort, but the end of 460 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: the day, that means the effort hasn't been good enough. 461 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: Because the tackling hasn't been good enough, this is a 462 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: terrible tackling team at this point. Are we passed the 463 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: whole Well, it's more than that. Are we ready to 464 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 3: start seeing other guys get opportunities for this defense? 465 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 10: Yeah? 466 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 2: I think this could be the point in which it changes, 467 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: because now the season is over, Like there really is 468 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: no path unless you went out and get a lot 469 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: of help, and nobody expects that to happen. But basically, 470 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: to me, that translation was PJ. Jewles and Tyson Anderson 471 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: and those guys they don't know the playbook well enough. 472 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: They don't know where to get lined up. We don't 473 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: have faith in their ability to understand the defense. So 474 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: we aren't playing them, and so now number one, that's 475 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 2: an indictment on them. That's how I perceived that message. 476 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: And number two, now that we've reached the point where 477 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: the season is basically over, are you willing to take 478 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: more chances with those guys? And I also appreciated that 479 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: he acknowledged it looks bad, the effort looks bad, and 480 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: there's only so much we can do about that. 481 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's only so many players on the roster. There's 482 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: only so many guys you can get in there. Lastly, 483 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 3: on the the criticism around what's going on with this team. 484 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: Zach, do you get a sense of the frustration around 485 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 2: the city from fans kind of as the season kind 486 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 2: of goes the way it does in the last couple 487 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: of years, how they've went, you get a sense of 488 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 2: kind of frustration that that kind of. 489 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 7: I'm not oblivious. I have to isolate myself. I have 490 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 7: to that's the only way I can function. And I 491 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 7: think that's understandable. But you also, again, it's no one 492 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 7: puts more pressure on us than I do on myself 493 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 7: to get it right. 494 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 6: And so. 495 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 7: I'm not oblivious to frustration. And I know what our 496 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 7: record is and so that would have lead to that, 497 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 7: And I don't blame anybody for feeling that way. It's 498 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 7: it's our job as a as an NFL team to 499 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 7: go find wins and create energy and joy in this 500 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 7: fan base and our organization, in our locker room, coaching staff. 501 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 6: Winning. 502 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 7: Winning helps everybody do their job the next day, the 503 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 7: next week, and I want nothing more than that. And 504 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 7: I know if we can string together some wins, we'll 505 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 7: start to build build, build some some optimism. But but 506 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 7: first we've got to show a step in the right direction. 507 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 6: I'm doing that. So until we do that, I understand 508 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 6: how difficult it is, all. 509 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 3: Right, I just that to me is important because it's 510 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 3: at least a coach now that's looking this square in 511 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 3: the eye of Yeah. I understand what's going on. I 512 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 3: understand the voices that are out there. I understand the 513 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 3: angst among fans, and yes, we have to win games. 514 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 3: I think there's an emphasis on that now. It does 515 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 3: put more pressure on to win, but at least he's 516 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 3: not up there acting completely blind to the fact of 517 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 3: the criticism that is now surrounding this organization. 518 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: I have to isolate myself. That's the only way I 519 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: can function This to me goes back to the first 520 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: answer and the first question about how we don't hear 521 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: from anyone else. We don't hear from Duke Tobin. Now 522 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: I can. I've watched enough of Zach Taylor and seen 523 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: him and been around him and heard enough to feel 524 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: pretty confident in the character and the person that is 525 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor. I believe he's a good man. I think 526 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: he's a good leader. I think he's a good football coach. 527 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 2: I've said that many times, and I believe more than anything, 528 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 2: he's a stand up, high character individual. When I see 529 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: that guys like Duke Tobin don't speak, that then leads 530 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: me to question their character. I don't know anything about 531 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 2: Duke Tobin, don't know anything about I'd literally know nothing 532 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: about that guy other than who his father is and 533 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: what his job has been over the last twenty years. 534 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: And if it were me in that situation, if I 535 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 2: were in the shoes of Duke Tobin, and this guy 536 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: that I work with every single day has to answer 537 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 2: for my transgressions and is having to isolate himself and 538 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 2: I'm sure in ways his family so that he can function. 539 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: And I don't do anything to put myself out there 540 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: to say hey, here, I'll talk, I'll explain, here's my 541 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: side of things, here's what we're going through as an organization. 542 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: That to me is a reflection of poor character. I 543 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 2: don't know him. I don't know what his character's like, 544 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: know nothing about Duke Tobin. He's done nothing to really 545 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: prove to me that he is this real good stand 546 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: up guy. But to me, that's like an example of 547 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: being a bad teammate. Duke Tobin not not willing to 548 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: raise his hand and say, hey, let me answer some 549 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: of these tough I'm responsible for this as well. And 550 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: you know that just the more I think about it, 551 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: the more it doesn't sit right with me. And maybe 552 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: my opinion would be different if I heard from Duke frequently. 553 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, especially when things go as poorly as 554 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: they have, and you know, you could could be listening 555 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: to this and saying, well, you should hold the owners 556 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 2: to the same standard, and to an extent I do. However, 557 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: I will say there's not a lot of owners across 558 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: the NFL to talk. That's not that common. But players, 559 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 2: player personnel directors, gms, those people are talking very frequently. 560 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: Especially on a bye week, especially when things are going 561 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 3: the way in which it has. Someone has to stand 562 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: up there and help Zach Taylor. It's hard because I 563 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 3: listened that and I genuinely do think Zach Taylor is 564 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 3: a great person, and I think Zach Taylor has done 565 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: good things here. I don't allow that to change the 566 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 3: fact that I don't think he should be the head 567 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 3: coach after this season. 568 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: Sure, that's fair, but it's. 569 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: Almost like he's he's doing this with one hand tied 570 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: behind his back. 571 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the hard part. 572 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: That's what I think pulls at you a little bit 573 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: because it's not a fair situation what he's being asked 574 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: to do. 575 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: And that's also what makes firing him complicated, because, yeah, 576 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: you have a patient ownership group, you have an elite quarterback, 577 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: and you have finances that you're able to spend moving 578 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: forward when it comes to the cap, the salary cap 579 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: that make the job attractive. But you are a punching 580 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: bag for the organization. No one has your back in 581 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: the media, nobody. Yeah, and you are dealing with a 582 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: style of business that some would say requires you to 583 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: have one hand tied behind your back. And so if 584 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: that's the case, are you ever going to be able 585 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: to get the best candidate to coach this team. Yeah, 586 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 2: and the affair, and that's what makes a question, that's 587 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: what makes it difficult about to me, at least, flip 588 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 2: flopping on whether Zach should be fired or not. 589 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll take a break, we'll come back. We'll hear 590 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: from you. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty 591 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 3: is this just gets rolling Cinty three to sixty on 592 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 593 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: Thanks to Skyline Chile. 594 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: You've been listening to Football in the NATI on ESPN 595 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Let's take some 601 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: phone calls for the first time this afternoon. Doc is 602 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: calling in. 603 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 2: What's up? Doc? 604 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 13: Hey? 605 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 14: First of all, Tony, I'm glad you're back, and you 606 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 14: might remember me. I first saw you when you were 607 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 14: twenty inches long. 608 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: That might give you a yes, yes, how are you? 609 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 14: I'm some fine getting holds hell, but it's still there. 610 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 14: I'll hear you two questions with quarterbacks quickly and your 611 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 14: and your opinion. 612 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 15: Uh. 613 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 14: First one is Joe Burrow rumors which keep you know, 614 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 14: which are not probably real, But if you got four 615 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 14: or five first round draft choices for him, would you 616 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 14: take it? And the second one is Brandon Soresby. The 617 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 14: sites on Chad's website and stuff, a lot of people 618 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 14: think they need to hold on to him at all costs, 619 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 14: and uh break the bank for him. And I think 620 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 14: they're a fair number of coquarterbacks. I'd like to keep him, 621 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 14: but I think there are current number of quarterbacks out 622 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 14: there that there that we could find it would be 623 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 14: pretty much equal. And I think we need to spend 624 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 14: their money in the defense of secondary in mind receiver rooms. 625 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 14: So it's fun to know what your opinions are. 626 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,239 Speaker 3: Doc, I appreciate it. Thank you, Austin. Oddly enough, that 627 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: was that's the doctor who delivered me. Pretty cool that 628 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 3: first question. No, I would not give up Joe Burrow 629 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 3: for anything. It is so hard to come across a 630 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 3: franchise quarterback in this league. I would not give up 631 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow for any amount of first round picks. Would 632 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 3: you no for Brendan Soarsby. That question's tough because I 633 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 3: would have to see how he finishes the year. If 634 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 3: he struggles finishing the year, that would be two years 635 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 3: in a row where he has struggled down the stretch. 636 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 3: But if he picks it back up and finishes the 637 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 3: year strong, I would ask the question, who else better 638 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 3: could you get? I don't think that is out there, 639 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: so I would, in my opinion, again, because quarterback makes 640 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 3: this go, I would do everything I could to keep 641 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 3: renting Sortsman. 642 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: By the way, Soresby talking to the media right now. 643 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 2: He says his ankle is in good shape. He got 644 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 2: rolled up on against Arizona, but it sounds like he's 645 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: good to go for b Why there we go? What's up, Maso? 646 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 16: What's going on? Boys? 647 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 10: How are we doing today? 648 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: You tell me? 649 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 10: Well, unfortunately, Tony, I just got a text for Mali. 650 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 11: Uh. 651 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 10: There's a little protest on the beer pong tournament for 652 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 10: an elbow infraction. 653 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. I figured that would be coming at some point. 654 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, So I don't know, you might have to return 655 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 10: that leg lamp trophy. But speaking of protest. Was there 656 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 10: a protest by the UC student Sunday night or what. 657 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen I've seen a lot of this going around. 658 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 3: I don't know what's to blame right now, students are 659 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 3: in school. To my knowledge, it was one of the 660 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 3: weakest student sections I've ever seen. I have no problem 661 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 3: calling that out. Uh, students have to be better. They've 662 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 3: got to show up to basketball games. I agree. 663 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 10: Okay, that's I was going to ask your stance on that, 664 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 10: and you can chime in if you want. But yeah, 665 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 10: I'm like, it should never be at least seventy five percent, 666 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 10: you know, it should be always seventy five percent full. 667 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't understand, especially like experience, in my opinion, 668 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: I get as well, Like if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas 669 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 3: break and students are just gone, but classes are in 670 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 3: session right now. It's a Sunday at six o'clock. How 671 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 3: are more things? 672 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: That's the issue? Sunday at six. 673 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 3: But it's also like it, But it's also like, enrollment's 674 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: never been higher at the University of Cincinnati. How are 675 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 3: you not filling that with two hundred students? As crazy 676 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 3: to No, I get it, I get it. I'm just 677 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 3: assuming that the games day and time is probably the biggest. 678 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,479 Speaker 11: Reason why, right, Yeah. 679 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 10: I saw some different people saying, you know, it's Mount 680 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 10: Saint Mary's. 681 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 6: Too, and I shouldn't matter care who the opponent is. 682 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, it shouldn't matter the opponent. It shouldn't matter. 683 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 10: You know. Everybody was saying, well, the team has been 684 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 10: terrible for seven years, haven't been to a you know, 685 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 10: NCAA tournament. 686 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 16: It doesn't matter. You're only in college for four years. 687 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 16: Live it up. 688 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, go there, enjoy it, Go to every sporting event 689 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 10: that you can, and stop sitting on your phones and 690 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 10: your dorm rooms. 691 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: Go come ont preach, all right? 692 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 10: Anyway, Also onto the Bengals. I heard something yesterday which 693 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 10: was kind of funny. So if you go to a 694 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 10: restaurant for thirty some odd years and the food is 695 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 10: absolutely garbage, would you. 696 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 16: Still keep going to that restaurant? 697 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: Probably? 698 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 11: Not? 699 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 10: Okay, Then why do Bengals fans keep putting up with 700 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 10: this crap? It's stupid, it's it's trash what they put 701 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 10: out there. 702 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 16: Year in and year out. 703 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. 704 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 10: I think that's the analogy is sports is just very 705 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 10: unique because because your team can duck for years and 706 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 10: years and years. But man, you keep on going, you 707 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 10: keep buying their gear, you keep coming back. But if 708 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 10: you go to a restaurant and you're and you get 709 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 10: a bad play of food, you're probably not even going 710 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 10: back to a second time. Sure, it's just it kind 711 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 10: of struck. It was a funny analogy I heard on 712 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 10: Dan Patrick in this was like, yeah, that's yeah, that's 713 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 10: kind of an interesting one. So why, yeah, why do 714 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 10: we put ourselves through this misery? Because I'm at the 715 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 10: point where I'm not even mad anymore. Like I don't 716 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 10: get mad when they win or lose, or when they lose. 717 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,919 Speaker 16: I'm at apathy. 718 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 10: I'm apathetic, like I don't even care. 719 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's the dangerous point, Maso, thank you, 720 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 3: brother yep By. That's the dangerous part is when people 721 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 3: stop caring. I would say to that analogy, there are 722 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 3: a lot of other restaurant options. There are a lot 723 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 3: of other choices that you could go to to eat. 724 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 3: There's not as many sporting teams locally that you can 725 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 3: pull for, and there's just something about sports that does 726 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 3: drag you in. And for this organization, they teased you. 727 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 3: You know, they went to the super Bowl, they went 728 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 3: to back to back AFC title games, and now you 729 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 3: have that taste. And I would equate it to the 730 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 3: opp I said Austin. I would equate it to going 731 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 3: somewhere and you get a taste of something really good 732 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 3: and then you keep trying to chase that to find 733 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 3: that high again. And I feel like that's what fans 734 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 3: are doing constantly with their sporting teams. 735 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 2: I get the restaurant analogy, and it does make sense. 736 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 2: But you know, May says right, if you don't like 737 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 2: a place, you can stop going. And the NFL is 738 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 2: no different. If you don't want to be a fan 739 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 2: of a team anymore, no one's forcing you to be 740 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: a fan of a team, which is why I think 741 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 2: the analogy of marriage fits better, because you've made a 742 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 2: commitment at some point in your life. This is my team. 743 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 2: This is who I'm gonna root for, This is who 744 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a fan of, This is who I'm 745 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 2: going to live and die with. And there are times 746 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 2: where they're gonna make you mad, but you committed to them, right, Yeah, 747 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: there are times when you're gonna sleep on the couch, 748 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 2: but you committed to them, you know, And I think 749 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 2: that is the more apt comparison, but there's also an 750 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 2: out there too, and so if you choose to do that, 751 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: you're allowed to do that. And plenty of fans over 752 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: the the course of time have done that. 753 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, can I can? I just I got a text 754 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 3: from a good buddy of mind, and he makes a 755 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 3: good point, because can we just in a in a 756 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 3: nutshell think about what Maso's call was just about. Did 757 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 3: he criticize fans for not going to UC games and 758 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 3: then push back on fans for supporting the Bengals? Correct, 759 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 3: So we're just going on a circle, which come on 760 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 3: which organization you see basketball. 761 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: Which hasn't been to a tournament in seven years, or 762 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals football over the last twenty five years has 763 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 2: been better? Well, I mean take over the last seven years. 764 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 2: I didn't ask that part of the question. I asked 765 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 2: twenty five twenty five, which has been probably still the Bengals. Okay, 766 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 2: but I think I mean that is I gotta call 767 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 2: my guy masa out. I mean, if it's shaken with 768 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: your right and holding a rocket. 769 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's the same thing you want to Well, 770 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 3: fans need to show up. And now it's coming from 771 00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 3: a I know it comes from a point in love 772 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 3: with Maso because I believe Austin in Maso's time at 773 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 3: I won't share his college. 774 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 2: I believe he was years in college. 775 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 10: I was. 776 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 3: I believe he was banned from going to certain sporting 777 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 3: events in college because not surprise, he's a little bit 778 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 3: over the top. 779 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 2: Maybe there's too many Maso's that you see. Maybe, I mean, 780 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit different to have Maso's 781 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: back here. I think it's a little bit different if 782 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: you're a college student. Yeah, enjoy that experience. That's a 783 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 2: little bit. 784 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't. He wasn't criticizing fans. He said to students. 785 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for especially so many of them live on campus. 786 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 2: It's an easy trip, correct, So that I think, and 787 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 2: it's cheaper, you know, so that you know, in Maso's point, 788 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: I have his back. 789 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 3: Around it on that well taken. Uh, we'll take a break, 790 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 3: we'll come back. We'll try to wrap up the hour 791 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 3: with a call or two before we get to Joe 792 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 3: Daniman and boy do we have a lot to talk 793 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 3: about with Joe All coming up next to ESPN fifteen 794 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 3: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station Thanks to Skyline Chile, sure. 795 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 796 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: Since he three sixty, we are rolling along.

Now the 822 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 17: coaches would get up and give a weekly press conference, 823 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 17: but he was out front and center. He was answering 824 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 17: all the questions for the organization, not the head coach. Coaches, coach, 825 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 17: the GM handles everything else. 826 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 10: Did it seemed to work? 827 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 16: It worked? 828 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 10: Well? 829 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, Coop, that's a great point. We appreciate the phone call. 830 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 3: Look, I don't even think we're I'm not even asking 831 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 3: for that, obviously, Bill Pollian, on a weekly basis getting 832 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 3: up there and taking phone calls from listeners from Austin, 833 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 3: that would be like Duke Tobin coming on this show 834 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 3: once a week and taking calls he should He's welcome to. 835 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 3: He's more than welcome to. I'm not even asking for 836 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,959 Speaker 3: that extent. But on a bye week, when your team 837 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 3: is spiraling in the wrong direction, you need to stand 838 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 3: up there and take some ownership. As you said, it's 839 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 3: supposed to be a team. Everyone's supposed to have each 840 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:07,720 Speaker 3: other's backs. Duke Tobin last week essentially sat back Austin 841 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 3: and watched and listened to Zach Taylor have to answer 842 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 3: for all of his mistakes and didn't think too say, 843 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 3: you know what, I gotta put this to bed. I 844 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 3: got to go talk that to me. And as you 845 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, that to me is a little bit of 846 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 3: a character issue. That should not be the case. Something 847 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 3: should eat away at you so much to say, and 848 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 3: I'm done letting this guy take the fall for me. 849 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 3: I'm done listening to him had to answer for my 850 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 3: mistakes and to the time, yet that's not been the case. John, 851 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 3: last call here to wrap it up. 852 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 16: What's up John, Good afternoon, fellas. 853 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 18: I think this all leads back to something you touched 854 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 18: on yesterday, the lack of sense of urgency in the organization. 855 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 16: I mean, your owner's ninety one years old. 856 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 18: If I make it to ninety one years old, I'm 857 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 18: only buying green bananas. 858 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 16: I'm not buying green bananas. 859 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 18: Actually I'm buying yellow bananas or maybe brown bananas, because 860 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 18: who knows how long it's gonna last. But you just 861 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 18: look at Duke Tobin and can you believe this? Of 862 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 18: one hundred and twenty four professional sports franchises in North America, 863 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 18: he's the second longest tenured executive. The only one that's 864 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 18: been in their job longer is Brian Cashman with the 865 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 18: New York Yankees. Right two World Series with Brian Cashman. 866 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,280 Speaker 18: There so lack of urgency white throughout the entire organization, 867 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 18: So it permeates down to the coaches, the players. It's 868 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 18: kind of more of a country club atmosphere that there's 869 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 18: going to be no repercussions. The other thing too, I 870 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 18: think one of the callers touched on this yesterday, you know, 871 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 18: for ten fifteen years ago, they were a bad boy Bengals, right, 872 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 18: Chris Henry pac Man, Jones, Bontest Burfect. Has the organization 873 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 18: done a one eighty and just wants to draft high 874 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 18: character guys like Demetrius Knight. 875 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 16: Seems like a great guy. 876 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 18: He's already a dad, was working as uber driving a 877 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 18: support his family. 878 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 2: I want that guy to be my son in law. 879 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 18: I don't know if I wanted to be. 880 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 16: My football player. 881 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 19: So you know, they've done like a flip of like 882 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 19: no more questionable car because we want just nice guys 883 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 19: and they may not be really good football players. So 884 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 19: a lot of that is from thirty thousand feet away. 885 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, there's a point that John, thank you for 886 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 3: the call. As always, there was a point Austin where 887 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 3: it felt like it shifted to where they were wanting 888 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 3: high character guys and captains right of successful teams. And again, 889 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 3: that's good to have on your team. Sometimes that doesn't 890 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 3: equate to the best football player, and I think you 891 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 3: have to find a balance between the two. 892 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 11: Yeah. 893 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 2: I think they did that for a couple of years 894 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 2: and built what they thought was a good culture and 895 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 2: then deviated from that a little bit with some picks, 896 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 2: but the culture was so strong that you thought you 897 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: could deviate from that. Yes, that's my point. Zach Jackson 898 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 2: Carmen was one of those selections that you started to deviate. 899 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 2: Jermaine Burton has been one of those selections that you 900 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,959 Speaker 2: start to deviate, and those picks haven't worked out. Now 901 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 2: some of the high character picks haven't worked out either. 902 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 2: It's not an exact science, but there's been a little 903 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 2: bit of both in recent years and it makes me 904 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 2: wonder if they'll go back towards that type of process 905 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 2: when drafting some. 906 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 3: It takes a little tinkering and you've got to figure 907 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 3: you've got to figure out the most successful way, because 908 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 3: it hasn't been what's happening as of late. Joe Danaman 909 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,399 Speaker 3: Fox nineteen will join us next to kick off Our 910 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 3: number two.

The problem is, Austin, I just 922 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: don't know if there's enough storylines that we can talk 923 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 3: about today with Joe, So we're gonna have to dig 924 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 3: pretty deep to try to figure out how to get 925 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 3: a segment out of this with Joe Daniman joining us 926 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 3: right now. 927 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 2: What's up, Joe? 928 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 16: I thought we were going to talk about elbow infractions 929 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 16: on beer pong elbow infractions. 930 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,919 Speaker 3: That is a false claim. I was clearly three feet 931 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 3: behind the table. People just don't like greatness, Joe. Your 932 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 3: arms are four feet long. People struggle with greatness at 933 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 3: different times. 934 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 16: You're so tall you can just reach across and just 935 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 16: drop the ball right into a cup. It's unfair. 936 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 937 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,439 Speaker 3: Well, I was carried by my wife, so I didn't 938 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 3: even play the best. 939 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 2: So there's that. Did you catch any of John Cena's 940 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 2: final Monday Night We're all last night? 941 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 16: Oh my gosh, it's on tape on record. Haven't gotten 942 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 16: there yet, so no spoilers. Just yet. 943 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 2: Uh, do we have any traction? 944 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 3: I know we're going to dive into the Bengals any chance, 945 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 3: Elder say Next is going to be played at pay 946 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 3: Course Stadium. 947 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 16: Boy, That's what I've been working on the last half hour. 948 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 16: Let me say this. I can say this publicly because 949 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 16: I have it confirms from two people. I do know 950 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 16: that workers are being mobilized to be ready for Friday 951 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 16: night and a high school football game at pay Course Stadium. 952 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 16: That does not mean it's for sure happening. I know 953 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 16: there is another venue in the Tri State that's also 954 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 16: in play, that is trying to get this game at 955 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 16: their venue. But I think the big winner here is 956 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 16: State Next Elder and high school football in Cincinnati. That 957 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 16: we can get a bigger venue for a game that 958 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 16: deserves to be played at a bigger venue. It's the 959 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 16: biggest hig school football game of the year here in Cincinnati. 960 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 16: So the fact that I'm always of, yes, let's play 961 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 16: it at a high school venue, yet let's make it 962 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 16: feel exclusive. But if there are that many people who 963 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 16: want to come see this game played, why would we 964 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 16: not use the facilities that are here in town to 965 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 16: get more people in to see. 966 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 2: What will be a great game for sure, without a doubt. 967 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 3: Now, outside of that, it has been a pretty busy 968 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 3: week around the Cincinnati Bengals with everything that happened in 969 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 3: the loss of the Pittsburgh Dealer is let's start with 970 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 3: the Jamar Chase incident. Let's start with I think let's 971 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 3: start with how it's being handled from the organization. We 972 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,879 Speaker 3: weren't able. We see the video, and then we hear 973 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase's response and then the suspension, and we've really 974 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 3: yet to hear from Jamar Chase to this point. How 975 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 3: do you view how this has been handled internally from 976 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 3: the Bengals up to this point. 977 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 16: It's interesting because Jamar choosing not to speak is his decision. 978 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 16: And the way Mondays work at pay Course Stadium with 979 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 16: open locker room, the team comes out of the team 980 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 16: meeting and the entire team flows into the locker room 981 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,760 Speaker 16: at the exact same time. So there was a heavier 982 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 16: presence of media than usual on Monday afternoon. We were 983 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 16: all waiting around Jamar's locker. You would think he would 984 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 16: have to stop there, get some personal items and leave. 985 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,959 Speaker 16: He did not. He just walked right to the locker room. 986 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 16: Ben Baby from ESPN was the one who kind of 987 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,919 Speaker 16: branched out to kind of go over there and test 988 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 16: the water so to speak with Jamar to see who 989 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 16: wanted to talk. He asked him and he shook his 990 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 16: head no. He said, can we take that as an 991 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 16: official no comment? He shook his head yes, and he 992 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 16: was out of the room. So Jamar Chase chose not 993 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 16: to speak. I don't know. I'm okay with him not speaking, 994 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 16: but I also think there was an opportunity there for 995 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,320 Speaker 16: him to speak and say what he wanted to say, 996 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 16: if it's an apology or if it's him a misunderstanding 997 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 16: of what happened on Sunday. The hard part for Jamar 998 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 16: in this situation is the video was posted after he 999 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 16: did his postgame interview, So did he think he got 1000 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 16: away with it? One noticed it, and that's why he 1001 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 16: thought he could confidently say he didn't do it. And 1002 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 16: then the video came out there after, so that that's 1003 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 16: what put him in a bit of a bind on 1004 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 16: what he said, how it was handled by the organization. 1005 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 16: This is this is how the Bengals do it right, 1006 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 16: that Zach Taylor has to be the voice of the 1007 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 16: organization on this one. That that's part of the job 1008 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 16: description in Cincinnati as Bengals head coaches. You're the voice 1009 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 16: of the organization in good times and in bad And 1010 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 16: Zach stood by Jamar and he should because I think 1011 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 16: Jamar has firmed that now we've seen Jamar have these 1012 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,399 Speaker 16: crashouts that seemed to happen once a year. I mean, 1013 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 16: I think back to last year in Kansas City early 1014 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 16: in the season when he had a moment like this, 1015 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 16: and then he had this one on Sunday in Pittsburgh 1016 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 16: and listen, provoked or not right, I mean, we all 1017 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 16: understand what Jalen Ramsey's about. You know, if anybody can 1018 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,879 Speaker 16: provoke aj Green to do what he did, certainly he's 1019 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 16: he's a master at provoking guys to do things. And 1020 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 16: and and it happened to Jamar Chase on Sunday in Pittsburgh. 1021 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 16: And how it's being handled. This is what they do, 1022 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 16: and Zach Taylor has to answer the questions. He's standing 1023 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 16: by Jamar. It's what he has to do. And I 1024 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 16: think he should stand by Jamar because I think Jamar 1025 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 16: is about the right stuff. Even though we had that 1026 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 16: moment on Sunday, and yeah, that's just the way the 1027 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 16: Bengals are going to do it. It's going to be 1028 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 16: curious how quickly the appeal plays out for whenever Jamar 1029 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 16: does talk next, because scheduled to speak on Thursday, but 1030 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 16: that likely won't happen this week unless the suspension is 1031 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 16: appealed and won. Otherwise we're not gonna hear from Jamar 1032 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 16: for another week. 1033 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,919 Speaker 3: So that's everything going on away from the field right now. 1034 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 3: The other issue is what's happening on the field this team, 1035 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 3: with another disappointing loss, things continue to unravel in the 1036 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 3: wrong direction, and now you're looking at the tall task 1037 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 3: of playing the hottest team in football, more than likely 1038 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 3: without your best offensive weapon. At this point, what does 1039 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 3: this mean from just a sheer football standpoint for the 1040 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 3: I mean. 1041 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,840 Speaker 16: It's not just your best offensive weapon. You could argue 1042 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 16: that Joe Burrow, Jamar, Chase Trey Hendrickson or this team's 1043 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 16: three best players at worst three of their four best players. 1044 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,240 Speaker 16: And now you're playing the team with the best record 1045 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 16: in football without three or your four best players, or 1046 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 16: maybe all three of your best players. It's that's a 1047 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 16: difficult thing. That's the process for this team going forward. Look, 1048 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 16: I feel like the Patriots can be had. I'm not 1049 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 16: sold that they're the best team in the NFL, that 1050 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 16: they've earned their record. They are what they are. Drake 1051 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,280 Speaker 16: Mays an awesome player, Mike Brabel is a great coach, 1052 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 16: that they're on the come up. But I do think 1053 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 16: they can be beaten. I just I don't see a 1054 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 16: pass for this team without Trey Hendrickson, with without Jim R. Chase, 1055 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 16: without Joe Burrow to get it done on Sunday. Now, 1056 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 16: with the NFL, we see weird things happen all the 1057 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 16: time in this league. But at the same time, I 1058 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 16: don't see the pass for the Bengals to win on 1059 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 16: Sunday without those three players. Austin, I don't want to 1060 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 16: hijack the conversation. Can you hit the breaking new sounder? 1061 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 2: Oh oh okay, hold on, give me a second and 1062 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,800 Speaker 2: we look at this.

Thanks thanks for choosing to break that 1097 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 2: news with us, Joe. We appreciate that a lesser person 1098 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 2: would have just hung up the phone. A lesser person 1099 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 2: would have. 1100 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,760 Speaker 16: You and I did breaking news together during this show. 1101 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 16: It was when Joe Flacco got traded to the Angle, Yes, 1102 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,359 Speaker 16: and we were trying to process that on the air, 1103 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 16: and you think back to that conversation and where the 1104 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 16: Bengals are now, I mean this this it was we 1105 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 16: didn't think, I don't know. On the surface, I was like, 1106 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 16: it's a guy. Joe Flacco doesn't have much less. He's 1107 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 16: been great. I know he came back to Earth on 1108 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 16: Sunday a little bit, and that was always, uh, the 1109 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 16: worry into Tony's last question about the Bengals playing the 1110 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 16: Patriots on Sunday is, Yeah, the defense is the defense, 1111 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 16: but the offense has been pretty elite all season. Now 1112 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,959 Speaker 16: you wonder as Joe flacc will come back to Earth 1113 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 16: a little bit. Now you don't have Jamar Chase. What's 1114 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 16: the past to beating the Patriots. I don't know, other 1115 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 16: than the NFL can get weird. 1116 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 2: Something that I found interesting, Joe is the last two Mondays, 1117 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,919 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor has basically cut off the idea that Trey 1118 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 2: Henderson could play now normally he's pretty coy about these 1119 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 2: injuries and said, we'll see how it happens. We'll see this, 1120 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 2: We'll see He's immediately said, Trey has been doubtful. Uh, 1121 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 2: both this last press conference yesterday and the Monday before, 1122 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 2: is there any indication about a timetable for Trey Hendrickson 1123 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 2: or what he's going through or if he's going to 1124 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 2: be able to play again this year? 1125 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 16: None whatsoever. Yeah, the only information we have is the 1126 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 16: exact information that you've heard from. And I've noticed the 1127 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 16: same thing. And you know, I don't like to say 1128 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 16: these things out loud on public, but I think you 1129 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 16: have to wonder is Trey Hendrickson going to play any 1130 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 16: more meaningful snaps in Cincinnati. I just don't know. Yeah, 1131 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 16: but the only information we've had is what's been given 1132 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 16: from Zach Taylor, and it's been very quick. Doubtful, doubtful, doubtful. 1133 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 16: It's weird that he's always landed on doubtful and never 1134 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 16: an out, but it kind of feels like doubtful with 1135 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 16: an expectation that, oh yeah, he's out, not going to play. 1136 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 16: So I think it has to be in the back 1137 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 16: of everyone's minds that the timetable of Trey Hendrickson could 1138 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 16: include him not playing the rest of the season. I 1139 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 16: think I would bet against that. But at this point, 1140 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 16: the only information we have is that he continues to 1141 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 16: say doubtful on a weekly basis as. 1142 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 3: It relates to who will be available on Sunday against 1143 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 3: the Patriots. If Jamar Chase and the suspension are upheld, 1144 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 3: Do we see Jermaine Burden active for this game? 1145 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 16: I have no idea. That is a curveball. I don't know. 1146 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 16: It feels like he's been weirdly phased out the last 1147 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 16: couple of weeks with whatever this this illness is. He's around. 1148 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 16: We saw him yesterday. Oddly he was the last one 1149 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 16: who was still inside the locker room. Certainly there there's 1150 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 16: a space and an opportunity for him. I would think 1151 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 16: Mitchell Tinsley is the likely choice to get a lot 1152 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 16: of snaps with with Jamar Chase if he's not going 1153 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 16: to play on Sunday, but being active, I mean, man, 1154 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 16: you would think you would think he would have a 1155 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 16: chance to be active. But the way he's been treated 1156 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 16: here the last couple of weeks, with with illnesses and 1157 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 16: just not not being involved, it kind of feels like 1158 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 16: he's almost been put in this this weird category of 1159 00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 16: just out of sight, out of mind, and Kenny pop 1160 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 16: up up here in one week in a handful of 1161 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 16: practices and earn his way to an activation on Sunday. Certainly, 1162 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 16: the past is there, but it feels like a long 1163 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 16: shot to me for Jermaine Jermaine Burton to do anything 1164 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 16: that would be of any kind of a difference making 1165 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 16: role on Sunday against the Patriots. 1166 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 3: The questions will remain with Joe Burrow. And you talked 1167 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 3: about Trey Hendrickson and will he play meaningful snaps. It's 1168 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 3: one thing to talk about Joe Burrow in the sense 1169 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 3: when everything was still alive, right going into the Pittsburgh game. 1170 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 3: Beat Pittsburgh and let's reconvene, let's see what happens. Losing 1171 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 3: the game to Pittsburgh, being a big underdog to New England. 1172 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 3: Does that change how you view how Joe Burrow would 1173 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 3: be handled. 1174 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 16: No, it doesn't seem how I view it. But my 1175 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 16: view is completely different from what I'm feeling from the stadium, 1176 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 16: because my view is if the Bengals are not in 1177 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 16: this and don't have a chance to go to the playoffs, 1178 00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 16: and it feels like that for all intents and purpose, 1179 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 16: has died Sunday in Pittsburgh, that he should not play 1180 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 16: because the Bengals are going to enter the offseason with 1181 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 16: so many questions on so many different levels, and that 1182 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 16: extends all the way up to the front office, the 1183 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 16: coaching staff, personnel. How to rebuild this defense, how to 1184 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 16: get this team competitive in twenty twenty six? Do they 1185 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,240 Speaker 16: need to hit a reset button? The last thing you 1186 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 16: need is one more giant question on the top of 1187 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 16: all of those mountains of questions of is our quarterback 1188 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 16: going to be ready? Is he going to have to 1189 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 16: be coming back from another injury. Now, what I'm feeling 1190 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 16: from Joe talking and talking to people at the stadium 1191 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 16: is that Joe wants to play football because Joe likes 1192 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 16: to play football, and Joe is paid to play football. 1193 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,400 Speaker 16: And I get that, and I think that's most likely 1194 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,919 Speaker 16: what is going to happen. If I had to bet 1195 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 16: it right now that no matter what the record is, 1196 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 16: that Joe Burrow is going to push to play and 1197 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,920 Speaker 16: likely will win his push and get on the field 1198 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 16: at some point this season. But does somebody in the 1199 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 16: organization have to protect him from himself? Does somebody else 1200 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,440 Speaker 16: have to make that decision? Are we going to get 1201 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 16: another Mike Brown on the golf cart with Joe Burrow 1202 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 16: out of practice and him telling him what's going to 1203 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 16: happen that week? But what happened that week was Joe 1204 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 16: ended up playing on that Sunday night. So it kind 1205 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 16: of feels like, and I don't mean this, I mean 1206 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 16: it somewhat tongue in cheek, is that it feels like, 1207 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 16: sometimes Joe Burrow makes a lot of decisions about himself 1208 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 16: and maybe a lot of decisions that affect other people 1209 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,320 Speaker 16: in the organization, and maybe he's earned that. But if 1210 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 16: it were me, I would not play him because I 1211 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 16: would not want to risk adding another giant question mark 1212 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 16: to what is already going to be an offseason full 1213 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 16: of them. But if Joe Burrow is going to push 1214 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 16: to play, and he gets the green light from the 1215 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 16: medical staff that he ready to go, I think you're 1216 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 16: going to see him at some point this season. 1217 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 3: Outside of everything going on with the Bengals, it's a 1218 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,439 Speaker 3: huge obviously local sports weekend. We've outlined Friday Night now 1219 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 3: with Elder sat Ex at pay Course Stadium. You see 1220 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 3: in Louisville at Heritage Bank, Saturday, big noon kickoff comes 1221 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 3: to town. You see plays host to BYU for nip 1222 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 3: at Night. This game has obviously lost a little bit 1223 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 3: of the build up because you're now not in control 1224 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 3: of your own destiny if you're the Cincinnati Bearcats. But 1225 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 3: how important is this game, Joe? For a team in 1226 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 3: Scott Saderfield who last year got to five and two 1227 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 3: and lost their last five. They've now reached this great moment. 1228 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 3: They've lost their last two. Here comes another good opponent. 1229 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 3: How important is Saturday for Scott Saderfield and the Bearcats. 1230 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 16: Well, I think you made the great point there, and 1231 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 16: you've made that several times here in the last couple 1232 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 16: of weeks. Is that you see can't repeat what they 1233 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,000 Speaker 16: did last season and the fade out at the end 1234 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 16: of the season. When you get spot lit like this, 1235 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 16: you've got to perform, and they're gonna be spot lit 1236 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 16: on Saturday night and on Saturday Morning afternoon with Big 1237 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 16: Noon being there and then them getting the eight o'clock 1238 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 16: game on Fox. When your spotlight light spotlt like this, 1239 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 16: and you're right, you know that the past isn't as 1240 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 16: clear as it was in the Big twelve Championship. That 1241 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 16: shouldn't matter Saturday night. Saturday Night should be about a 1242 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 16: chance for you see football to be on a stage 1243 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 16: and perform. You know, Scott Saturdayfield's done enough this year 1244 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 16: to quiet a lot of people and perhaps even save 1245 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 16: his job. And I think he's done a very good 1246 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,919 Speaker 16: job this year, but there are still questions we all 1247 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 16: have about UC football going into this game on Saturday Night, 1248 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 16: And to me, the biggest spotlight is on the quarterback. 1249 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 16: And I love everything that Brendan Swartzby is about. I 1250 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 16: love the way he handles himself. He's a tough kid. 1251 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 16: He's had a great season, but in some of the 1252 01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 16: biggest games of the year, he hasn't played his best football. 1253 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 16: So he's the one I'm watching the most. On a 1254 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 16: stage like Saturday Night, with a lot of people in 1255 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 16: the country watching him, maybe for the first time it 1256 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 16: can he perform like the Brendan Soresby that that can 1257 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 16: make you see. A Top twenty five is team that 1258 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 16: can keep you see alive in a Big twelve race, 1259 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 16: that can get you see to a good bowl game, 1260 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 16: or who knows, get a shot at the Big twelve 1261 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 16: championship and go to the playoffs. But when you get 1262 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 16: a moment like this in a stage, you gotta perform. 1263 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 16: And the person I want to see perform the best 1264 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 16: and the most is the quarterback because we know what 1265 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,480 Speaker 16: he's capable of. Yes in the game and some of 1266 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 16: the biggest games of the year, he just hasn't delivered. 1267 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 16: And he's got a shot here right that maybe he's 1268 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 16: last shot against BYU to really deliver in this game 1269 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 16: in front of a national audience. 1270 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 2: He's the one I'm watching obviously. 1271 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 3: That's Saturday Night. Sunday is Bengals Patriots. Sunday night, MESSI 1272 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 3: comes into town. What all do you guys have going 1273 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 3: on at Fox nineteen coming up? 1274 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 16: I mean, you think about Saturday, Big News starts at ten, 1275 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 16: and then you have the Ohio State game on at 1276 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,919 Speaker 16: nude and then you had the UC game on at eight. 1277 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 16: I mean, it's a massive day for football watching on Fox. 1278 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 16: So we're excited to have that and then Sunday, Yeah, 1279 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 16: we'll be doing it both. We'll be at pay Court Stadium, 1280 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 16: then we'll finish up with postgame there and head straight 1281 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 16: over to Messi versus FC Cincinnati. And that's such an 1282 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 16: awesome event in such a huge game, And it's been 1283 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,919 Speaker 16: one of these things that's been kind of under talked 1284 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 16: about is how well FC Cincinnati has done against Messi 1285 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 16: since he's come to Major League Soccer. But now now 1286 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 16: you're going to get the best Messi shot Right now, 1287 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 16: you're going to get him in an Eastern Conference semi 1288 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 16: final with its winner go home two games away. Then 1289 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,960 Speaker 16: if you win that for winning the MLS Cup, that 1290 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 16: to me is going to be theater. It's going to 1291 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 16: be cinema to see what Messi does when the state 1292 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 16: or this high coming to Cincinnati and TQL Stadium.

Oh? No, what's wrong with that? 1413 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 2: The field is going to be messed up. It's turf, 1414 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:29,640 Speaker 2: I know. 1415 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,280 Speaker 28: Oh hey, guys, armchair prosecution of this assertion that Mike 1416 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 28: Brown wants to win. Since nineteen ninety one, Mike has 1417 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,920 Speaker 28: only had eleven winning seasons in thirty four years. He 1418 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,879 Speaker 28: has a five and eleven average over. 1419 01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 2: Those other twenty three years. 1420 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 28: For comparison, the Steelers in the same timeframe have only 1421 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,599 Speaker 28: had four losing seasons and compiled twenty six winning seasons. 1422 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 28: Now the Terrible Tree are systematically destroying the Burrow era. 1423 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 28: Losing is Mike Brown's calling card. He prefers a lukewarm 1424 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 28: bowl of oat me on a side of dry toast 1425 01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,360 Speaker 28: to winning. There is zero defense on the field and 1426 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 28: zero defense for him. 1427 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 2: I keep trying to tell people the truth. I don't 1428 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 2: know if they're listening. Mike Brown wants to win, but 1429 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 2: he wants to win his way and his processes, I 1430 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 2: believe are flawed. That's the issue. It's not that he's 1431 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 2: just I don't think Mike Brown wakes up in the 1432 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 2: morning and says, how can we go nine to eight 1433 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 2: and miss the playoffs? No? I don't believe that. 1434 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,200 Speaker 28: Hey, guys, armchair prosecution of this search. 1435 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 2: I just played that. 1436 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 16: Sorry, Okay. 1437 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,960 Speaker 2: So obviously Zach Taylor cance it up there and speak 1438 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 2: his mind. His job's on the line. 1439 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:35,320 Speaker 29: Just like you guys can sit up there and say 1440 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,799 Speaker 29: one hundred percent of what you want to say because 1441 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,760 Speaker 29: you can get fired. I get it, your livelihood's on 1442 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 29: the line. But answer me this. Why isn't anyone and 1443 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,200 Speaker 29: this includes like podcasters that can say whatever the heck 1444 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,479 Speaker 29: they want. Why doesn't anyone reach out to Marvin Lewis 1445 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 29: gotten some answers from him? Is the guy that buttoned 1446 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 29: up that he won't say anything about the Bengals. He 1447 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 29: was there when Duke Copen was there. He knows how 1448 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 29: the sausage is made. 1449 01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,679 Speaker 30: Why does anybody reach out to him to get these answers? 1450 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,879 Speaker 2: How does it benefit Marvin Lewis to air out the laundry? 1451 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Tell all for Marvin? How does that benefit him? I 1452 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,280 Speaker 2: don't think it does. He's also still really good friends 1453 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 2: with Mike Brown. We'd also love to have him on 1454 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 2: the show. Yeah, Marvin's welcome anytime.

I personally don't believe he'd be fired 1477 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 21: because the Brown's put up with mediocrity. But let's say 1478 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 21: he would get fired. Do you think there's a coach 1479 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 21: out there that's worth their weight that would really want 1480 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 21: this job. Don't you think most good coaches would want 1481 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 21: to avoid having to work with the Brown family. 1482 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, we outlined this a little bit earlier. I do 1483 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 2: think the idea of the cap space, the quarterback, and 1484 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 2: a patient ownership group are enough to get some guys 1485 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:50,160 Speaker 2: to want to come here. 1486 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 30: One common strait that great head coaches seem to have 1487 01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:02,680 Speaker 30: is that they hold their best players to a standard 1488 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 30: that's a little bit higher than everybody else. So the 1489 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:10,120 Speaker 30: accountability I think are the best of the best than 1490 01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 30: it is for everybody else. And when you look at 1491 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 30: this team, the fact that Joe Burrow decides whether or 1492 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,320 Speaker 30: not he's going to go under center kind of sums 1493 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 30: that part of it. 1494 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 2: I think it's a little more delicate than that. I 1495 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 2: hope that we get because this has been talked about 1496 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,600 Speaker 2: seemingly endlessly, the under center thing. The Bengals did a 1497 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 2: lot more of it in the first two games with 1498 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. I hope that there are questions asked of 1499 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,679 Speaker 2: Joe the next time he meets with the media about 1500 01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 2: that and so that we could get some clarification on it. Yeah. 1501 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 2: I just don't know how much he'll be able to 1502 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 2: do with the with the. 1503 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 12: Tone, man, turn that seat back up, hot, it's time 1504 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,640 Speaker 12: to flame him. 1505 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:55,040 Speaker 15: Up. 1506 01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 16: Body. 1507 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 12: I'm irritated not featuring Joe Roy and his offense. I 1508 01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 12: don't understand this. We don't win big games on national TV. 1509 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 12: I mean, come on, man, get real marshmallowsoft defense for 1510 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 12: the Bengals and Barracats FC Cincinnati. You better say us 1511 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,760 Speaker 12: this weekend, send the goat home packing and you see 1512 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,360 Speaker 12: basketball don't get exposed. 1513 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:15,400 Speaker 2: But I think it's going to happen. 1514 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,280 Speaker 3: Oh Okay, there's not a lot of hope for UC 1515 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 3: hoops on Friday that I've heard. 1516 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 31: Hey, guys, it is Gary from del High.

Let us not 1527 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 32: compare Bill Pollian. 1528 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 2: To Duke and Tobin.

That's pretty good. 1550 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 34: Spinning on a player is never acceptable under any circumstance. 1551 01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 34: But in a hypothetical situation, if somebody was gonna spit 1552 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 34: on somebody in an athletic event, could you pick a 1553 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 34: better candidate than Jalen Ramsey in the Pittsburgh Steelers uniform. 1554 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 34: I mean, like I said, disavow, I disavow.

I got to give 1663 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 3: it to him. I appreciate the effort. I appreciate the 1664 01:25:54,720 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 3: effort of essentially saying, listen, if I were to on someone, yeah, 1665 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:02,559 Speaker 3: I'd spit on his face. 1666 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,840 Speaker 2: I can't help but laugh. It is right, I can't 1667 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 2: help but laugh like. 1668 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,839 Speaker 3: That was a legitimate report from I believe Ian Rappaport 1669 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,600 Speaker 3: yesterday that the appeal is gonna be based around the 1670 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 3: fact that if he were to spit intentionally on someone, 1671 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:18,760 Speaker 3: he'd do it to his face. 1672 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,760 Speaker 2: I almost think there's like an angle, like they're trying 1673 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 2: to take the side that the just the angle. The 1674 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,759 Speaker 2: angle makes it look like he's spitting on Jalen Ramsey, 1675 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 2: but he's not. Actually. I think that's the other side 1676 01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 2: of it. And I have about a minute of audio 1677 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:40,680 Speaker 2: here from Mike Florio, and Florio says this is the 1678 01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,320 Speaker 2: argument that Jamar Chase should make in his appeal. 1679 01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 38: Bengals receiver Jamar Chase has been suspended one game without 1680 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,759 Speaker 38: pay for spitting on Steelers' safety Jalen Ramsey. 1681 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,000 Speaker 2: So what will Chase his argument be on appeal. He 1682 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 2: clearly won't say he didn't do it. He tried that 1683 01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:56,920 Speaker 2: one the video shows. 1684 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,080 Speaker 38: Otherwise, he could make the argument that the NFL's lost 1685 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 38: anding precedent is not to suspend a player for spitting, 1686 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 38: but to find him and for years that's what the 1687 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 38: punishment was. It changed with Jalen carter back in Week 1688 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:13,240 Speaker 38: one when the Eagles defensive tackle spit on Cowboys quarterback 1689 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 38: Dak Prescott. But you could make the argument he wasn't 1690 01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:20,479 Speaker 38: really suspended. He was ejected and it was fine the 1691 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,559 Speaker 38: amount of a game check. And they said it was 1692 01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 38: basically a suspension because he missed all of the game 1693 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,000 Speaker 38: because he spit on Dak Prescott before the first offensive 1694 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:33,040 Speaker 38: play from scrimmage, he still wasn't suspended. That may be 1695 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 38: the best argument, That may be the only argument that 1696 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 38: Chase can make. There's never been a suspension, a true 1697 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:42,799 Speaker 38: suspension for spitting. The punishment has always been a fine. 1698 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 38: I don't think that that will be successful, but it 1699 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,759 Speaker 38: is an argument that Jamar Chase can make to Jordan Nelson, 1700 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:52,600 Speaker 38: the hearing officer, and we'll see whether or not he 1701 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,680 Speaker 38: has any shot at playing this weekend against the Patriots. 1702 01:27:55,800 --> 01:28:01,959 Speaker 3: Okay, thought on that that's a makes sense. Yeah, yeah, 1703 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 3: I think he should go with that. Other than the 1704 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:06,519 Speaker 3: if I wanted to spit on him, I'd have done 1705 01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 3: it to his face. 1706 01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:10,160 Speaker 2: Right, and you know, I know he doesn't want. 1707 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 3: There are people that are like wet talkers. That was 1708 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 3: a loogie. It was a lugie. 1709 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 11: Now. 1710 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,759 Speaker 2: The other thing that's interesting is you heard Mike Florio 1711 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:25,719 Speaker 2: mention Jordie Nelson as the hearing officer. It was between 1712 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 2: like Jordi Nelson, Derek Brooks or Ramone Foster. Do you 1713 01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,640 Speaker 2: remember Ramone Foster the name I do. 1714 01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 11: Yes. 1715 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 2: Ramone Foster used to be an offensive lineman for the 1716 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,560 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh that ain't who you want hearing it. 1717 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 2: And now he's one big hearing officers. And I went 1718 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 2: to look him up because I know that I didn't 1719 01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,200 Speaker 2: like him in the past. Not the big Swagu, the 1720 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 2: big regul, the big ragu. And Ramone Foster has me 1721 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 2: blocked on Twitter? What which I probably said something mean 1722 01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,800 Speaker 2: to him in a Bengals Steelers game when I was 1723 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 2: like fifteen, would be my guess, wow, you kid though, 1724 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,240 Speaker 2: Yeah I was. I mean I was coming at you 1725 01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 2: as a kid. I don't think he said anything to me. 1726 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 2: I think it was just I probably said something to 1727 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:24,479 Speaker 2: him that was enough. Yeah, that was enough to have it. Yeah. Oh, 1728 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:28,320 Speaker 2: never tell you the story about how I got blocked 1729 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:33,120 Speaker 2: by Lance McAllister. No, I had said something that I 1730 01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,759 Speaker 2: really was fifteen years old. And it was a twenty 1731 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:40,439 Speaker 2: ten season where the Reds were making this push for 1732 01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 2: the playoffs, right, They're trying to win the National League Central. 1733 01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 2: And I would listen to Sports Talk every night and 1734 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,200 Speaker 2: it felt like all Lance talked about to the fifteen 1735 01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:51,040 Speaker 2: year old me was what the Cardinals were doing in 1736 01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 2: this race for the NL Central. And I said something 1737 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,839 Speaker 2: along the lines of no one cares about the Cardinals? 1738 01:29:56,840 --> 01:30:00,600 Speaker 2: Can you talk about the rets? Ooh? And Lance? That 1739 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,679 Speaker 2: was worthy of a block? And I think I said, 1740 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,880 Speaker 2: no one gives a bleep, if you know what I mean, 1741 01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,840 Speaker 2: I know, dude. And so fast forward years later, I'm 1742 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 2: working with Lance consistently, right, like for a year or so. 1743 01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 2: I was his producer on Sports Talk every night. And 1744 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 2: one night, at the end of the show, I said 1745 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,080 Speaker 2: to him, Hey, man, it's kind of a weird, weird request, 1746 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 2: but could you unblock me on Twitter? 1747 01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:32,599 Speaker 3: His jaw almost hit the floor. How long into being 1748 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:34,439 Speaker 3: the producer? What did it take for you to bring 1749 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 3: that up? 1750 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:37,080 Speaker 16: Like? 1751 01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 2: How long did you sit with that? I had been 1752 01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:43,639 Speaker 2: employed here for probably a year. I had probably been 1753 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:48,160 Speaker 2: doing his show for a few months. A few months. Now, 1754 01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:49,639 Speaker 2: in a month or so, you'll be doing a Christmas 1755 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 2: special with us? Yeah, Oh, I did that last year too. 1756 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,640 Speaker 2: His jaw almost hit the floor. He's like, what I 1757 01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 2: blocked you? And I was like, yeah, I deserved it. 1758 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean I was cursing at you as a fifteen 1759 01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:04,800 Speaker 2: year old. I deserved it.

They host BYU Saturday night. It's 1810 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,800 Speaker 3: an eight pm start, Big noon Kickoff is in a 1811 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:03,400 Speaker 3: very disappointing loss coming out of the buy to Arizona. 1812 01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,639 Speaker 3: They no longer control their own destiny, but they are 1813 01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,200 Speaker 3: still mathematically eligible to have a path to the Big 1814 01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:13,639 Speaker 3: twelve championship that would go away with a lost Saturday 1815 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,719 Speaker 3: night against b YU. So here is what Scott Saderfield 1816 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,440 Speaker 3: had to say in his weekly press conference earlier this afternoon. 1817 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 39: Excited about this opportunity. B YU A great team. Kline. 1818 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:28,639 Speaker 39: He's done a phenomenal job there. Very mature team, UH. 1819 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 11: Physical, big coached well. 1820 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 16: UH. 1821 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:36,520 Speaker 39: Defense is one of the best defenses in the country. Offensively, 1822 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:38,680 Speaker 39: you know, coming into the season, they thought, okay, well 1823 01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:41,400 Speaker 39: a new quarterback. They're they're maybe struggle a little bit, 1824 01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,840 Speaker 39: but back Myers played outstanding. He's playing like he's a 1825 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 39: he's an older player, like an experienced player that plays 1826 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:51,400 Speaker 39: with great poise, throws the ball really well and then 1827 01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:53,360 Speaker 39: can run the football, which is you know, he's done 1828 01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 39: a great job as a dual threat, big running back. 1829 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 39: He's a great, great player. And then number two is 1830 01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 39: an outstand receiver. We played against him two years ago. 1831 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,400 Speaker 39: You know, eleven creates some big time plays, has some 1832 01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 39: great speed. I think they're very very good into special 1833 01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,240 Speaker 39: teams as well, so not not too much weakness. When 1834 01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,559 Speaker 39: you think about BYU, you know, a team that's used 1835 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:15,800 Speaker 39: to win and I think they're twenty and three in 1836 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:19,880 Speaker 39: the last two years. So an outstanding football team. You know, 1837 01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 39: opportunity for US. Our seniors Senior day for US, so 1838 01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 39: twenty two seniors will be be coming out for the 1839 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,720 Speaker 39: last time. So I'm sure there'll be a lot of 1840 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,680 Speaker 39: emotions out there, and guys like Gavin Garhart's gonna make 1841 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 39: his forty seventh start, which is incredible, you know, one 1842 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 39: of the best leaders I've ever been around, and of 1843 01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 39: course Corleone and some of the other guys. I mean, 1844 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,479 Speaker 39: it's it's just a special group and so exciting day 1845 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:43,320 Speaker 39: for them as well. 1846 01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 40: Any questions you'd mentioned after the game that Evan Pryor 1847 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,799 Speaker 40: and Caleb Goodie should be back this week. Any update 1848 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,040 Speaker 40: on that and are you surprised how much you missed him? 1849 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,839 Speaker 39: No, I'm not surprised so much we missed him. We certainly, 1850 01:35:57,880 --> 01:35:59,840 Speaker 39: you know, two big playmakers for us that have great 1851 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,479 Speaker 39: I mean, that's that's certainly something that you want to 1852 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,080 Speaker 39: have on the field. We feel good about both those 1853 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,600 Speaker 39: guys being available this week. Obviously, because a week goes on, 1854 01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 39: we'll know more. 1855 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 11: But feel good about those guys. 1856 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:14,839 Speaker 39: Goodie for sure will be ready to go, and priors 1857 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 39: I said this last week he's very close. Last week, 1858 01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,599 Speaker 39: I feel still feel good about him being available this. 1859 01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:22,160 Speaker 11: Week running game. 1860 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,640 Speaker 41: You had the two big explosive plays with Tawee, but 1861 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:26,559 Speaker 41: then I think he was ten for twenty six and 1862 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 41: the rest of us carries. When you went back and 1863 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,600 Speaker 41: watched the film, what did Arizona do to quell that? 1864 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 11: And what can you do against ba Well, I one 1865 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:35,800 Speaker 11: of one of the big runs had him stop on 1866 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:36,400 Speaker 11: the right side. 1867 01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 39: He did a good job of just bouncing it, you know, 1868 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 39: and creating a big play on the back side of 1869 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 39: that run. They're a good defense. I mean we knew 1870 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 39: that coming in, you know. I think I think we 1871 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:49,439 Speaker 39: popped some good runs in the first quarter. I think 1872 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,360 Speaker 39: we had one hundred and forty yards after the first quarter, 1873 01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,400 Speaker 39: so you know, some big runs there, you know, to 1874 01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:54,800 Speaker 39: get us. 1875 01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 11: Some points on the board and score. But they're good defense. 1876 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 39: They muddy up the front, a lot of movement, a 1877 01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 39: lot of twists, move using their linebackers. They're good in 1878 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,000 Speaker 39: the secondary, so they can do a lot of different things, 1879 01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 39: you know. And I think there are three safeties I 1880 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:13,080 Speaker 39: thought played really really good football as well. Uh forty 1881 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,200 Speaker 39: three's of man a good good football player, played a 1882 01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 39: lot of ball, you know, and I think we just 1883 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,280 Speaker 39: you know, we're not consistent enough in the run game 1884 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 39: there late in the game, you know, particularly in the 1885 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 39: in the when we had we had the one touchdown 1886 01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 39: lead fourteen to seven. I thought our defense at that 1887 01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,800 Speaker 39: point was getting them off the field and holding the 1888 01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,440 Speaker 39: field goal attempts, and that that's where me like, offensively, 1889 01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:36,960 Speaker 39: you know, we we needed to attack to get to 1890 01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:39,639 Speaker 39: get up up to scores. You get up two scores, now, okay, 1891 01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,640 Speaker 39: maybe a different ball game. We never were able to 1892 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:44,680 Speaker 39: do that. And then in the second half when we 1893 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,040 Speaker 39: were moving the ball some we couldn't get them off 1894 01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:47,400 Speaker 39: the field. 1895 01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:47,559 Speaker 11: You know. 1896 01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,160 Speaker 39: We we score to make it a one possession game, 1897 01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,160 Speaker 39: three point game was six and a half minutes, you know, 1898 01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 39: and then we got the ball back think a minute 1899 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 39: and a half, you know. And you know, so we 1900 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,400 Speaker 39: just didn't did not play complimentary football, like when when 1901 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 39: one side of the other needed some help, we do it. 1902 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 11: And I think that was a big part of that game. 1903 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,120 Speaker 42: Coach, you mentioned two standouts on the offensive side of 1904 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,760 Speaker 42: the ball for BYU. L. J. Martin and Chase Roberts. 1905 01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 42: What stands out about them and what do you remember 1906 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:13,880 Speaker 42: from the last time you guys played. Obviously those two 1907 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:14,760 Speaker 42: had three touchdowns. 1908 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,799 Speaker 11: Come on, yeah, good good players. 1909 01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,200 Speaker 39: Well I remember size really I think you know number 1910 01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,960 Speaker 39: two is a long player that can run, has really 1911 01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:26,640 Speaker 39: good hands. I remember the player out there on our sideline, 1912 01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 39: you know, threats that sitting there. It look like he's 1913 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:29,280 Speaker 39: getting ready to pick the ball, and then all of 1914 01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 39: a sudden, two comes out of nowhere. It catches it 1915 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 39: and zig zags and scores a touchdown. And the running backs, 1916 01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:36,960 Speaker 39: I mean, I don't know how big two thirty twenty five, 1917 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:40,640 Speaker 39: he's a big back that that that has speed. I 1918 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 39: think is he leading the big twelve and rushing maybe? 1919 01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:45,360 Speaker 39: I mean he's he's good. And I think he missed 1920 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:47,400 Speaker 39: the game or two with some injuries, but he came back. 1921 01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,840 Speaker 39: I mean he's he's a really good player, a very 1922 01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:50,599 Speaker 39: solid player. 1923 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:52,240 Speaker 16: You know. 1924 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 39: I just think they're very efficient in what they do 1925 01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:59,280 Speaker 39: offensively and in boch Myers taking care of the football. 1926 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 11: You know. I think the one game they turned. 1927 01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 39: It over a couple of times maybe against Texas Tech. 1928 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,920 Speaker 39: That was the one game they lost this year. So 1929 01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:09,080 Speaker 39: they just very efficient offense. And they're therefore, you know, 1930 01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:10,960 Speaker 39: when you play great defense, when the fishing, you give 1931 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:11,759 Speaker 39: yourself a chance. 1932 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 11: To win Scott. 1933 01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:15,840 Speaker 35: The last two games obviously haven't gone the way you 1934 01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 35: guys hoped for, But is there anything you can take 1935 01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:22,960 Speaker 35: away from them that you think, this is what we 1936 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,879 Speaker 35: need to do to take that next step towards becoming 1937 01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,800 Speaker 35: a championship caliber program in this conference, which you guys 1938 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,679 Speaker 35: have been close to this season. 1939 01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:32,200 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1940 01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:34,120 Speaker 39: I mean, I just think you have to play complete, 1941 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:38,000 Speaker 39: complete football game like you in all three phases. 1942 01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,000 Speaker 11: You have to be very very solid. 1943 01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,880 Speaker 39: I think about the teams that are that are good 1944 01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:45,200 Speaker 39: in all three phases, they're usually the teams on top. 1945 01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 39: I think, you know, think about Texas Tech right now. 1946 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,000 Speaker 39: The way they're playing football BYU, the way they're playing 1947 01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:52,599 Speaker 39: football all three phases are good. Even if you look 1948 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 39: at a national scope, you know, like Indiana, who's done 1949 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,639 Speaker 39: an unbelievable job. Go look what they're doing on offense 1950 01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:00,479 Speaker 39: and defense, Like they're top five in a country both. 1951 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,640 Speaker 39: It's amazing to me, like how good you are at 1952 01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:06,479 Speaker 39: all three phases. You know, if you have one side 1953 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,719 Speaker 39: of the ball that is not doing what they're supposed 1954 01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:10,080 Speaker 39: to do, it is going to be hard to win. 1955 01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:12,160 Speaker 39: You can still win, but it's going to be a 1956 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,760 Speaker 39: lot more difficult to win. So in order to be 1957 01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:17,559 Speaker 39: that championship caliber team, you got to be really solid 1958 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,320 Speaker 39: in all three phases. Just like Saturday, I thought special 1959 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:22,280 Speaker 39: teams were solid. We were good enough to win in 1960 01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,200 Speaker 39: special teams. Man, we did some good things. You know, 1961 01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:26,720 Speaker 39: we gotta be a little bit more consistent on others, 1962 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:28,000 Speaker 39: the two sides of the ball, I mean, as the 1963 01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,080 Speaker 39: bottom line in that game. And then having said that, 1964 01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,760 Speaker 39: we still had an opportunity, a chance to go win 1965 01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,160 Speaker 39: that game. You just got to make a few more plays. 1966 01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,040 Speaker 39: It just makes it a lot more difficult because the margins. 1967 01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:38,560 Speaker 39: We talked about this all year. The margins is the 1968 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:38,960 Speaker 39: big twelve. 1969 01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 1: Man. 1970 01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,920 Speaker 39: They're they're they're tight. You know, a play hero play 1971 01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:43,840 Speaker 39: there could be the difference in the game. And that's 1972 01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 39: trouven to proven to be true. 1973 01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 40: Because look at black Myers and swersby stats, they're almost 1974 01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 40: carbon copies, almost the same build, you know, same type player. 1975 01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:57,600 Speaker 40: Can Brendan bounce back after two games and obviously just 1976 01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,040 Speaker 40: had difficulty with the man coverage and all that, and 1977 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,560 Speaker 40: and you kind of know what's coming? Is it in 1978 01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:03,519 Speaker 40: him to bounce back? 1979 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1980 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:05,720 Speaker 39: I mean I think so. I mean I said this 1981 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:07,759 Speaker 39: after the game. I mean, you know, we had four drops, 1982 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,360 Speaker 39: potentially five drops in that game. If our guys catch 1983 01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,000 Speaker 39: the football, then his stats are gonna look a lot different, 1984 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:14,599 Speaker 39: you know. And I think, you know, I think that's 1985 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,599 Speaker 39: the part. It's not just sprending. I thought I thought 1986 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,320 Speaker 39: he had a really bad decision on the first play 1987 01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:21,559 Speaker 39: of the game, like that was awful. But really after that, 1988 01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:23,640 Speaker 39: it really played pretty good. I mean, he threw the 1989 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:25,840 Speaker 39: ball good. I mean, you know that post ball which 1990 01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 39: has been forty five fifty yards added to his stats. 1991 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,080 Speaker 11: I mean, you got to catch that ball, you know. 1992 01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:31,920 Speaker 11: And I think you know, and. 1993 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 39: Our receivers will be the first to tell you, yeah, 1994 01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:35,599 Speaker 39: I got to catch that, you know. And I think 1995 01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:37,680 Speaker 39: so it just not just on one player. I mean 1996 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 39: I think it's the whole team. You got to protect good, 1997 01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 39: you got to run the good route, you got to 1998 01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:46,360 Speaker 39: make the catches, and you know, so yeah, absolutely. 1999 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:46,680 Speaker 11: Can bounce back, you know. 2000 01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:49,760 Speaker 39: I think I think that's what we're practicing forward, striving forward, 2001 01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:50,959 Speaker 39: to go out and play well. 2002 01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:53,200 Speaker 11: And and to be clicking on all cylinders. 2003 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:59,320 Speaker 41: How much, man, are you expecting to see against Bayu'll. 2004 01:41:57,880 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 39: Be some man, I mean, that's what they do you know, 2005 01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:01,760 Speaker 39: play Man, play three, they mix it up. You're gonna 2006 01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 39: pay a lot of different things, you know. I think, uh, 2007 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,920 Speaker 39: you know, they're really good on defense. I think they've 2008 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,320 Speaker 39: created a lot of turnovers because of that. I think 2009 01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:14,080 Speaker 39: their corners are good where they're supposed to be. Their 2010 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,200 Speaker 39: linebackers make plays. I mean a lot of people talk 2011 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,080 Speaker 39: about their linebackers. I mean their long can run, their 2012 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,599 Speaker 39: physical Yeah, I mean, they're they're they're a solid team. 2013 01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:24,640 Speaker 39: So we'll we'll, we'll see a little bit everything, but 2014 01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:26,440 Speaker 39: they're gonna do what they do. 2015 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,439 Speaker 41: Does a part of you after the struggles with Man, 2016 01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,640 Speaker 41: do you want to not really tear it down but 2017 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,080 Speaker 41: be more experimental to try something different, or do you 2018 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:37,120 Speaker 41: stick to what's gotten you to seven three? 2019 01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:37,400 Speaker 16: No? 2020 01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,200 Speaker 39: I mean I think we gotta we gotta obviously try 2021 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 39: to do things that will get us, get us in 2022 01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:43,240 Speaker 39: a position to make plays. 2023 01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:44,840 Speaker 11: So whatever that takes. 2024 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:47,320 Speaker 39: You know, it's one thing that we can sit here 2025 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,400 Speaker 39: as coaches and we can draw up all kind of stuff, 2026 01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:51,799 Speaker 39: you know, and then our guys have to go execute, 2027 01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:51,920 Speaker 39: you know. 2028 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:53,680 Speaker 11: I mean, so it takes both of that. 2029 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:55,439 Speaker 39: You know, we have to put our guy position and 2030 01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,240 Speaker 39: players in position to make plays. 2031 01:42:57,360 --> 01:42:58,599 Speaker 11: Then they have to go make the place. 2032 01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,479 Speaker 39: I mean, you have to get the protect, you got 2033 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:01,880 Speaker 39: to make the throw, you got to make the catch, 2034 01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:05,880 Speaker 39: you know. And it's difficult playing against good defenses. If 2035 01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:12,320 Speaker 39: you guys look up defensive pass efficiency in our league, 2036 01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:17,360 Speaker 39: Arizona or are they ranked top five Utah or they 2037 01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:21,439 Speaker 39: ranked six? I think you Arizona's three in the country, 2038 01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:22,639 Speaker 39: their number six in the country. 2039 01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,160 Speaker 11: There's one hundred and thirty sixteen. They're pretty good on defense. 2040 01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,559 Speaker 39: This team is too. I think this team's ranked thirteenth 2041 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 39: and pass official defense. So you know, we're playing a 2042 01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:31,759 Speaker 39: lot of good teams. 2043 01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 11: With that. 2044 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:36,200 Speaker 39: When you're playing those teams, there is less room for era. 2045 01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:38,080 Speaker 39: You have to be on point, like you have to 2046 01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 39: run Chris Brouts, you have to throw the ball on time. 2047 01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:42,439 Speaker 11: You've got to be able to make contested catches. 2048 01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,760 Speaker 39: So all those things come into play, and you know, 2049 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:47,360 Speaker 39: if you're not, it's going to be one of those 2050 01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:48,679 Speaker 39: days you gonna look up and look at the stats 2051 01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 39: and it's not very good, you know, And so so 2052 01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:52,519 Speaker 39: you got to be on point. We got to continue 2053 01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 39: to work to get better. 2054 01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:56,759 Speaker 42: Coach, You've obviously been around a lot of veteran leaders 2055 01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,160 Speaker 42: throughout your coaching career. Is it going to be a 2056 01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,760 Speaker 42: little emotional on Saturday night seeing Gavin and Dante take 2057 01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:04,639 Speaker 42: the field for the last time after pouring their heart 2058 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:06,000 Speaker 42: and soul into this program last night? 2059 01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:10,400 Speaker 39: It's this, it's the finale for those guys in Knippert 2060 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,920 Speaker 39: Man and and and for those guys in particular, I 2061 01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:16,439 Speaker 39: think about Gavin, who's committed as a sophomore here in 2062 01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 39: high school. 2063 01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,439 Speaker 11: That's a long time man that he's been. 2064 01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,160 Speaker 39: You know, he's been in his blood, sweat and tears 2065 01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,840 Speaker 39: for the Bearcats and know and for him to go 2066 01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 39: out and I think it's just that's the last time 2067 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 39: he knows he's gonna be running out in the stadium there. 2068 01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 11: This will be very emotion for those guys, but also for. 2069 01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 39: US coaches because of what you know, particularly those guys 2070 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:35,600 Speaker 39: have done for this program. They've seen a lot of 2071 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:37,920 Speaker 39: change and coaches. 2072 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:38,880 Speaker 11: New conference and all that. 2073 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:42,400 Speaker 39: But man, they're great human beings and you know they 2074 01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 39: obviously have bright futures ahead for them. 2075 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:46,559 Speaker 2: All right. 2076 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,479 Speaker 3: That is a part of Scott's Saderfield from earlier Today. Again, 2077 01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:52,000 Speaker 3: I think it's cool for for a lot of seniors 2078 01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:53,040 Speaker 3: on this team to get to go out with a 2079 01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,920 Speaker 3: nipp at night. From experience, there's nothing better than a 2080 01:44:57,040 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 3: night game at Knippert Stadium. But the idea of complimentary football. 2081 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,080 Speaker 3: That's when this team was winning, and they won seven 2082 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:08,640 Speaker 3: games in a row, they were playing complimentary football. And 2083 01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:10,920 Speaker 3: in each of these losses the last couple of games, 2084 01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:15,640 Speaker 3: it's been little chinks in the armor, turnovers on offense inefficiency. 2085 01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,160 Speaker 3: When you have a fourteen to seven leading, you get 2086 01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:20,760 Speaker 3: the ball back four straight times, you got to go 2087 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 3: put points on the board. You've got to expand that lead. 2088 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,160 Speaker 3: Defense has not gotten the stops. Special teams has not 2089 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 3: been as strong. It's complimentary football and that's what the 2090 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:32,680 Speaker 3: best teams are doing. And I certainly agree to that. 2091 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:39,080 Speaker 3: But Scott' Satifield alluded to it U Tah great defensive ranking, 2092 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,080 Speaker 3: Arizona great defensive ranking BYU great defensive ranking. Guess what, 2093 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,600 Speaker 3: You've eventually got to win that game. You've got to 2094 01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,439 Speaker 3: beat that team, and that has eluded this team for 2095 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,120 Speaker 3: the most part in the Scotts Saderfield era. That has 2096 01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:55,639 Speaker 3: to change. On Saturday night. You can't go to three 2097 01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:57,960 Speaker 3: straight losses and then you can't open the door to 2098 01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:00,760 Speaker 3: end the season with another four game lose streak before 2099 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,879 Speaker 3: a bowl game. It's just it is a very important 2100 01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:09,360 Speaker 3: game Saturday night at Nippert Stadium. If you are holding 2101 01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:12,559 Speaker 3: on and you're clinging to the hope that there is 2102 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 3: still a path for the Cincinnati Bearcats, there are two 2103 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:20,320 Speaker 3: there are four two lost teams in the Big Twelve. 2104 01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 3: Utah already has the heads up against the Cincinnati Bearcats. 2105 01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:27,320 Speaker 3: You would you would take the heads up against BYU, 2106 01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:29,400 Speaker 3: so you wouldn't have to worry about them. But you 2107 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:33,360 Speaker 3: got a factor in Houston who still has to play 2108 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 3: TCU and then Baylor. Not an easy stretch for Houston, 2109 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:41,120 Speaker 3: so that's possible. You would have to factor in Arizona State. 2110 01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,920 Speaker 3: Arizona State going forward has a game against Colorado and 2111 01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:48,640 Speaker 3: then they finish up their season against Arizona. That's a 2112 01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:51,880 Speaker 3: possibility because we just watched that Arizona team play against 2113 01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:54,680 Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bearcats. The problem I think is going to 2114 01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:59,400 Speaker 3: be Utah. Utah hosts Kansas State on Saturday, and then 2115 01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,720 Speaker 3: they travel to Kansas on the day after Thanksgiving. So 2116 01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:08,679 Speaker 3: there is still a slight path, albeit not ideal. Because 2117 01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,519 Speaker 3: of the situation the Bearcats have put themselves in by 2118 01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:14,719 Speaker 3: not getting that win against Arizona and continuing that idea 2119 01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,439 Speaker 3: of win out and you control your own destiny. You 2120 01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,519 Speaker 3: now got to count on the help of others.

You think Prince 2161 01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:48,240 Speaker 2: ever had pen station absolutely, Yeah, did did. That's one 2162 01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:50,400 Speaker 2: of the craziest days on this show. I thought you 2163 01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:53,439 Speaker 2: were lying through your teeth. Nope, let me get this. 2164 01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:58,400 Speaker 3: Uh, I'm I'm minding my business this this morning, and 2165 01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,240 Speaker 3: I'm talking. I'm looking at stuff with the Bengals and 2166 01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:05,040 Speaker 3: talk about Trey Hendrickson, and we've talked about Jamar Chase 2167 01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,400 Speaker 3: and what's going on around this team and certainly a 2168 01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:10,000 Speaker 3: big week for the Cincinnati Bearcats. What I didn't have 2169 01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:12,519 Speaker 3: on my card today was talking at all about the 2170 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,000 Speaker 3: Reds or Hunter Green. And then I came across the 2171 01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:20,559 Speaker 3: story by Greg Kufner on Cincinnati Reds for SI, and 2172 01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:25,000 Speaker 3: it essentially outlines how there are members of the Reds 2173 01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 3: organization who may be unhappy with Hunter Green. Now, we've 2174 01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,479 Speaker 3: seen a lot of these trade rumors that have come up, 2175 01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,639 Speaker 3: and you kind of just quickly shoot it down because 2176 01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:37,280 Speaker 3: it's like, why would you trade Hunter Green. He's got 2177 01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 3: one of the most team friendly deals at all of baseball, 2178 01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,679 Speaker 3: and he's a great starting pitcher. And then the more 2179 01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:47,720 Speaker 3: you kind of reading between the lines, you know he 2180 01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:53,879 Speaker 3: had the groin injury, he was rehabbing, he reported symptoms 2181 01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,679 Speaker 3: and canceled his own rehab assignment, but the MRI accorded 2182 01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:59,160 Speaker 3: to the Reds and Terry Francona came back clean, so 2183 01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:03,000 Speaker 3: it kind of just got pushed on. Well, it's gonna 2184 01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:07,599 Speaker 3: be when Hunter's comfortable, It's gonna bree when Hunter's ready 2185 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:11,160 Speaker 3: to go. I just feel like any time you read 2186 01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,519 Speaker 3: as much about a player as we've heard or read 2187 01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:18,080 Speaker 3: about Hunter Green, maybe there's more there. Maybe there's more 2188 01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 3: there into teammate leader, clubhouse, maybe there's more into how 2189 01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:26,960 Speaker 3: he was coming back from injury. I don't know because 2190 01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,920 Speaker 3: we're not there, But does this feel something to you, 2191 01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:33,240 Speaker 3: Austin that is is something that's just kind of thrown 2192 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:34,960 Speaker 3: at the wall, or do you think that there's got 2193 01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:36,760 Speaker 3: some staying. 2194 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:38,680 Speaker 2: Power here with an article like this. I get the 2195 01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:44,839 Speaker 2: sense that the Hunter Green trade rumors basically came from 2196 01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:49,559 Speaker 2: this story and the idea that there was some sort 2197 01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:54,519 Speaker 2: of conflict between Hunter Green and the Rents where instead 2198 01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,400 Speaker 2: of coming back maybe at the timeline the Reds expected 2199 01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:00,559 Speaker 2: him to come back, Hunter Green went and got his 2200 01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:05,000 Speaker 2: own second opinion, third opinion. And I think the word 2201 01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,160 Speaker 2: that Charlie Goldsmith used when he was on our air 2202 01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:11,880 Speaker 2: over the summer was it's Hunter's timeline, which would to 2203 01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 2: me signal the idea of a disagreement between the Reds 2204 01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:21,919 Speaker 2: and their medical staff and Hunter Green. I would assume 2205 01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,599 Speaker 2: there might be a layer of distrust there based off 2206 01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:27,760 Speaker 2: some of the injuries we've seen in the past, and 2207 01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:29,960 Speaker 2: we've spent a lot of time on this show making 2208 01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:34,280 Speaker 2: fun of and questioning the timelines and medical staff that 2209 01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:37,080 Speaker 2: the Reds have. We're not doctors, we don't pretend to be. 2210 01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 2: But there have been multiple times where players or managers 2211 01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:43,639 Speaker 2: or others have kind of put their foot in their 2212 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:48,840 Speaker 2: mouth based off of this staff, and so I think 2213 01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:53,760 Speaker 2: Hunter was especially cautious with his injury to the point 2214 01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,880 Speaker 2: where it was probably frustrating for Reds fans, for other 2215 01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:59,639 Speaker 2: players on the team, for the coaching staff. I'm sure 2216 01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:03,040 Speaker 2: all of it, and I would assume that that's where 2217 01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:09,479 Speaker 2: the idea of a disconnect could lead to a trade. 2218 01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:11,679 Speaker 2: That's how I read this story. 2219 01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, and again this is us speculating. This is obviously 2220 01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:16,640 Speaker 3: nothing we know. But I even think if you go 2221 01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:20,679 Speaker 3: down on this article, Nick Krawl essentially addressed the rumors 2222 01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:22,960 Speaker 3: and said, look, we're trying to do what's best for 2223 01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:24,760 Speaker 3: our team. I don't want to rule anything out. But 2224 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:26,559 Speaker 3: that's a hard one to actually say, hey, we're going 2225 01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:28,080 Speaker 3: to trade the guy that has a chance to be 2226 01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:29,799 Speaker 3: the ace of your staff and top of the rotation 2227 01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 3: guy going to the postseason. But even that, it's not 2228 01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,960 Speaker 3: as reassuring as shooting something down and saying no, we're not. 2229 01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,439 Speaker 2: Going to move him. Well, I think that's Nick Krawl's 2230 01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,360 Speaker 2: way of shooting it down. I don't think it was 2231 01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:47,040 Speaker 2: ever a true consideration that the Reds would trade Hunter Green. 2232 01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,840 Speaker 2: I think it was just, hey, this thing happened, and 2233 01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:52,880 Speaker 2: I wonder if that would be enough for them to 2234 01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,439 Speaker 2: consider it. I don't think the Reds ever really have 2235 01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:58,160 Speaker 2: considered it. Yeah, it doesn't feel like they have no 2236 01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:01,519 Speaker 2: and they shouldn't no reason to. We've talked about it 2237 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,920 Speaker 2: a lot. He's the eighty third or whatever it is, 2238 01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,559 Speaker 2: highest paid picture you have a chance to win. It's 2239 01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,000 Speaker 2: with Hunter Green. If the guy is making thirty million 2240 01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:11,719 Speaker 2: dollars and he can't start and he's having these injuries, 2241 01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,679 Speaker 2: then that's a different story. Maybe you do trade him, 2242 01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:17,240 Speaker 2: but he's not and he's under control for a long time, 2243 01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:19,720 Speaker 2: and we have seen when he's healthy he's as good 2244 01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:22,639 Speaker 2: as anybody in baseball, and that includes guys like Paul Skeins, 2245 01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,960 Speaker 2: because there was a stretch this summer where those two 2246 01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:28,959 Speaker 2: were nasty. Yeah, just flat out and so too. Yeah, exactly. 2247 01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:32,360 Speaker 2: So I think that's like the the bread crumbs of 2248 01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:35,240 Speaker 2: like what might have happened to like even consider this 2249 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:38,560 Speaker 2: being a thing. But I doubt that the Reds, at 2250 01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:43,840 Speaker 2: least Nick Crawl never really considered something like this. Yeah, 2251 01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:47,640 Speaker 2: still something to But if that's the case, though that 2252 01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:52,840 Speaker 2: like there was some sort of disagreement between what Hunter 2253 01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:56,080 Speaker 2: felt was best for him and the Reds organization. I 2254 01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:59,280 Speaker 2: would give them credit for allowing Hunter to go and 2255 01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 2: do his own thing, but also I would be working 2256 01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:06,880 Speaker 2: hard on that relationship this offseason to fix it so 2257 01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:10,800 Speaker 2: that we don't face this type of issue again, because 2258 01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:17,040 Speaker 2: that's not good for anybody. No, let's uh, let's take 2259 01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:19,400 Speaker 2: a call before we get to a break here. Tim 2260 01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:20,000 Speaker 2: is calling in. 2261 01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:23,200 Speaker 16: Hello, Tim, Hey, how you guys doing. 2262 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:25,320 Speaker 37: Hey? 2263 01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:30,280 Speaker 10: I want to ask you Tonya, how's the help of Soresby? 2264 01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:32,560 Speaker 16: Because he was hurt the night game? 2265 01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:35,800 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Austin you heard him earlier. I believe he 2266 01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:38,080 Speaker 3: said that the ankle was is okay. Yeah, our guy 2267 01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:40,240 Speaker 3: Keegan Nicholson. Yeah, he was asked earlier. 2268 01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 2: He says, is his ankle is good even though he 2269 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:44,400 Speaker 2: got rolled up on against Arizona. 2270 01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it inhibited from running late in that 2271 01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:50,320 Speaker 3: game against Arizona. He did get rolled up on, but 2272 01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:53,360 Speaker 3: as we learned today, he is healthy. 2273 01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:54,680 Speaker 2: Yeah ahead of b y U. 2274 01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:58,880 Speaker 16: All right, thanks?

I wonder how 2302 01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:28,560 Speaker 9: I would look in a powdered wig.

Okay, and I 2307 01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:53,680 Speaker 2: swear on everything. Okay, I am not trying to rage 2308 01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,200 Speaker 2: me now, listen, I promise you I'm not. 2309 01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:59,720 Speaker 3: When you say something like that, yes, you are a 2310 01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:01,840 Speaker 3: saying I'm going to rage bait. 2311 01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:07,760 Speaker 2: No, I'm saying this could be taken as rage bait, 2312 01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:13,640 Speaker 2: but it's not because I don't want to get people 2313 01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:15,960 Speaker 2: riled up. I swear to God, I'm not trying to 2314 01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:19,240 Speaker 2: do that. So I was at the UC game on Saturday, 2315 01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:22,200 Speaker 2: and I had a great time. A lot has changed 2316 01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:24,480 Speaker 2: in the nine years since I had been there, Sure, 2317 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:29,800 Speaker 2: and people were lovely, people were wonderful. But I was 2318 01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:35,240 Speaker 2: shocked that I saw at least five people because I 2319 01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:40,600 Speaker 2: kept count at least five people wearing Ohio State football 2320 01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:46,440 Speaker 2: gear inside Knippert Stadium for that big twelve clash between 2321 01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:51,960 Speaker 2: the Bearcats and the Wildcats. I'm shocked by that number 2322 01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,760 Speaker 2: one just because I know UC fans do not like 2323 01:58:54,800 --> 01:59:01,000 Speaker 2: Ohio State. Sure, and just kind of looking for an 2324 01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:04,560 Speaker 2: explanation or is there is there something I might have 2325 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:09,800 Speaker 2: missed here? Well, because I could not believe what I 2326 01:59:09,880 --> 01:59:11,600 Speaker 2: was seeing. And then I think at one point there 2327 01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:15,320 Speaker 2: was a gentleman that saw me and was shocked to 2328 01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:18,440 Speaker 2: see me. Now I wasn't wearing Ohio State gear. I 2329 01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:20,640 Speaker 2: tried to be as respectful as I could. I had 2330 01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:23,440 Speaker 2: a red hat that said Cincinnati on it. It's a 2331 01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:25,640 Speaker 2: it's a Red's hat, but it's just a Cincinnati across 2332 01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,400 Speaker 2: the front. I was all black. I was trying to 2333 01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:33,520 Speaker 2: look like I was on a coach sideline but I 2334 01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:36,520 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe what I had seen. Now, Nippert Stadium 2335 01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:39,160 Speaker 2: holds around forty thousand. Huh. 2336 01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:41,800 Speaker 3: Anytime you get a big gathering together, you're gonna have 2337 01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:44,760 Speaker 3: some eggs, some bad eggs in the building. 2338 01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:45,400 Speaker 2: Interesting. 2339 01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:51,120 Speaker 3: I would also imagine that with UC Arizona being a 2340 01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,240 Speaker 3: noon game, that there were probably people in attendance that 2341 01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:54,200 Speaker 3: probably double dipped. 2342 01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:56,800 Speaker 2: Oh that's a good point. 2343 01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:59,600 Speaker 3: That watched the game and then made the drive up 2344 01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:01,839 Speaker 3: to colle to watch the night game in the show. 2345 02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:04,440 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they were just already ready for that, Okay, 2346 02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:08,720 Speaker 2: makes sense. I just I to me, no, I swear 2347 02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:13,120 Speaker 2: because I I debated even bringing it up, but then 2348 02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,560 Speaker 2: I saw we got a call here from Yeah, what's 2349 02:00:15,600 --> 02:00:16,920 Speaker 2: Matt want to talk about?

My confidence is an eight out of ten. And 2372 02:01:07,240 --> 02:01:11,400 Speaker 2: the big thing that I'm most worried about is if 2373 02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:14,960 Speaker 2: the Jeremiah Smith injury turns out to be worse than 2374 02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:18,600 Speaker 2: we thought. And also Indiana scares the hell out of me. 2375 02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:26,520 Speaker 43: Okay, So was he limping before the game against Yeah? 2376 02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:31,040 Speaker 2: So, According to Ohio State's radio broadcast, he had quad 2377 02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:33,600 Speaker 2: tightness that he had been dealing with the day of 2378 02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:37,560 Speaker 2: the game, quadrat He played like the first quarter and 2379 02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:39,720 Speaker 2: a half they got up and then he didn't really 2380 02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:40,640 Speaker 2: play much after that. 2381 02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:46,560 Speaker 43: And Tony, this is the Power five conversation. 2382 02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:47,280 Speaker 2: This is being. 2383 02:01:52,120 --> 02:01:53,600 Speaker 16: Not when you when. 2384 02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:00,280 Speaker 2: The power no. 2385 02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:05,520 Speaker 43: Listen on surviving this schedule on a week to week baseball. 2386 02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:08,920 Speaker 2: A part this is this is tough football.

I think there is this belief that is 2455 02:05:33,320 --> 02:05:37,480 Speaker 13: I think I think it's a misnomer that the Reds 2456 02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:41,400 Speaker 13: have like this overabundance of starting pitching, which allows them 2457 02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:44,960 Speaker 13: to just trade away all of their established pictures. At 2458 02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:46,240 Speaker 13: the end of the year, they were kind of like 2459 02:05:46,320 --> 02:05:47,920 Speaker 13: running out of guys they had to go trade for 2460 02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:52,080 Speaker 13: Zach Lttel. I think there's this belief that, like they 2461 02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:54,920 Speaker 13: have so many pictures that they could just give away Nicolodola, 2462 02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,920 Speaker 13: or give away Hunter Green, or like I know nobody 2463 02:05:58,960 --> 02:06:01,760 Speaker 13: wants to give those guys. Number One, all I hear 2464 02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:05,000 Speaker 13: is you can never have enough starting pitching. Okay, well good, 2465 02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:08,440 Speaker 13: then don't just trade away dudes. Number two.

Is that Do you think that appeal 2526 02:08:48,720 --> 02:08:49,440 Speaker 3: carries anyway? 2527 02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:50,800 Speaker 16: No? 2528 02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:54,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think the I think the broader appeal is 2529 02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:57,839 Speaker 13: there's never been a case like this where a player, yeah, 2530 02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:03,480 Speaker 13: has been suspended definitively for a game. Jalen Carter didn't. 2531 02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:06,680 Speaker 13: He was ejected, but he technically wasn't suspended, so they 2532 02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:10,920 Speaker 13: said time served. He's gonna get a one game suspension. 2533 02:09:11,440 --> 02:09:13,880 Speaker 13: What I want to know is who takes his place? 2534 02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:18,480 Speaker 13: It's gonna be Jermaine Burton. Who it's gonna be Jermaine 2535 02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:20,440 Speaker 13: Burton diving into that playbook, going you know what I 2536 02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:22,640 Speaker 13: can be count I'm gonna show up on time. 2537 02:09:22,680 --> 02:09:25,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna know which routes to run. 2538 02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:28,200 Speaker 13: I'm gonna stay awake in the meetings, and Joe Flacco 2539 02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:30,680 Speaker 13: or Jake Browning or whoever's playing quarterback for the Bengals 2540 02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:34,280 Speaker 13: on Sunday can rely on me or should they try? 2541 02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,440 Speaker 13: Geno's don't at wide receiver because he can't play safe. 2542 02:09:36,520 --> 02:09:40,000 Speaker 13: I don't know, but no, the the idea of, well, 2543 02:09:40,640 --> 02:09:42,560 Speaker 13: you know, if I really meant to spin on him, 2544 02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:45,120 Speaker 13: I would have spit in his face. Jamar, Come on, man, 2545 02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:48,320 Speaker 13: I love you, but dude, just you spit. You got caught, 2546 02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:50,400 Speaker 13: take your punishment, pay your fine. 2547 02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:50,960 Speaker 2: Move on. 2548 02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:51,240 Speaker 15: Mo. 2549 02:09:51,400 --> 02:09:53,520 Speaker 2: I put up a poll question that asked if Trey 2550 02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:57,800 Speaker 2: Hendrickson would play again this season. Eighty three percent said no. 2551 02:09:58,120 --> 02:10:00,520 Speaker 2: Where do you stand on Trey Henderson in his future 2552 02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:01,120 Speaker 2: with the Bengals? 2553 02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:03,360 Speaker 27: Huh. 2554 02:10:03,600 --> 02:10:05,720 Speaker 2: It's one of the things I'm gonna ask Paul about. 2555 02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:09,080 Speaker 3: And it's weird because, like, like what we talked about 2556 02:10:09,080 --> 02:10:11,760 Speaker 3: this yesterday, Like Zach Taylor is never one to like 2557 02:10:11,880 --> 02:10:14,800 Speaker 3: openly rule someone out on a Monday press conference, and 2558 02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:16,640 Speaker 3: for the last two weeks it's been well, he's doubtful. 2559 02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:17,760 Speaker 2: It's just been odd. 2560 02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:21,040 Speaker 13: He's doubtful, but he's weak to week, but he might 2561 02:10:21,080 --> 02:10:24,640 Speaker 13: have surgery. He's a captain, but he's not going to Pittsburgh. 2562 02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:27,240 Speaker 13: He's writing the kids book now, which is admirable. Like 2563 02:10:27,280 --> 02:10:30,720 Speaker 13: there's there's just a lot of weirdness. I'm gonna guess 2564 02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:35,560 Speaker 13: the answer is no. But there's still seven games to go. 2565 02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:38,080 Speaker 13: It feels like it feels like, you know, they got 2566 02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:40,640 Speaker 13: to play two more games and then this hell escape 2567 02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:43,080 Speaker 13: of a season could be over. There's seven more games 2568 02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:47,280 Speaker 13: to go. At some point, I think he's gonna want 2569 02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:49,240 Speaker 13: to prove that he's healthy because he's about to hit 2570 02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:49,839 Speaker 13: free agency. 2571 02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:50,520 Speaker 2: M hm. 2572 02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:54,120 Speaker 13: And so does he view it as I undermine my 2573 02:10:54,240 --> 02:10:58,960 Speaker 13: asking price if I finish the season not healthy. Also, 2574 02:10:59,080 --> 02:11:00,640 Speaker 13: he might need surgery at the end of the year. 2575 02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,160 Speaker 13: And so if he's told you need surgery, doesn't I 2576 02:11:03,200 --> 02:11:07,400 Speaker 13: don't know, man, that the Trey Hendrickson experience can be 2577 02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:09,440 Speaker 13: described a lot of different ways. Right now, I would 2578 02:11:09,440 --> 02:11:11,880 Speaker 13: go with weird. I'll guess he doesn't play because the 2579 02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:15,360 Speaker 13: season is going nowhere. But man, with Trey, like nothing 2580 02:11:15,400 --> 02:11:18,000 Speaker 13: would surprise you, Like it wouldn't surprise you if he 2581 02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:20,480 Speaker 13: doesn't play and he's rolled out, but he still puts 2582 02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:23,560 Speaker 13: the uniform on and stands on the sideline. It wouldn't 2583 02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:26,400 Speaker 13: surprise you if, like, he doesn't play, but he sits 2584 02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:29,080 Speaker 13: in the stands and he wears like Tennessee Titans gear, 2585 02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:32,640 Speaker 13: Like I mean literally, no, it wouldn't surprise me if 2586 02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:34,600 Speaker 13: he's like, yeah, I'm gonna play and then he shows 2587 02:11:34,680 --> 02:11:37,320 Speaker 13: up and doesn't have his helmet on, Like no, No, 2588 02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:41,120 Speaker 13: outcome with Trey Hendrickson would be surprising. So I don't 2589 02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:42,480 Speaker 13: want this to end by the way I want them 2590 02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:45,440 Speaker 13: the franchise tag him because I'm not. I still have topics, 2591 02:11:45,480 --> 02:11:47,680 Speaker 13: I still have things I want to say about Trey Hendrickson. 2592 02:11:47,800 --> 02:11:50,320 Speaker 13: I don't I can't end this, Okay. You know it's 2593 02:11:50,360 --> 02:11:52,280 Speaker 13: kind of like a like a weird relationship that you're 2594 02:11:52,280 --> 02:11:54,440 Speaker 13: in where you know, deep down inside it's probably time 2595 02:11:54,480 --> 02:11:56,400 Speaker 13: to move on. But then there's things about it and 2596 02:11:56,440 --> 02:11:58,400 Speaker 13: you're like, I just can't quit them.
