1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Richard Skinner joins us on Wednesdays from Local twelve and

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Local twelve dot com to talk about the Bengals, and

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: he's here now. Hi, Skinny, mo I'm in the land

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the Scott Eagles tonight.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: I mean your character you play the scott tonight.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 3: Taylor Mel very good. How are the Eagles doing this year?

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: They are two and zero and we'll see what they

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 2: do with us tonight. We're want to know.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 3: So wow, very good.

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: So a very early season battle of Titans in northern Kentucky.

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: This is going to be if you if you walk

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: down that hallway and you look at the class of

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: ninety five, you could see what I look like with

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: a like a spike flat top.

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: I already did that, mo. I did take a game.

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: Very good, very good.

17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: I frankly think that game tonight might be a little

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: bit more interesting than Bengals and Ravens on Sunday.

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I mean you got the Ravens

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: fighting for their lives, the Bengals fighting for their last breath,

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: if you will, their last gas. No, I think it is.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: We'll say this. I have a feeling because of the

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: weather and where things are going you'll have a lot

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: of empty seats.

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably probably have a lot of a lot of

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: empty seats.

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: Uh, where do we go from here with this defense?

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Because you know, on on Sunday, all right, Burrow throws

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the pick six, then there's another pick. Fine, right, but

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: they're still in the game, and multiple times in the

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: fourth quarter with a ten point lead, down by three,

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: down by five, chances to get off the field, chances

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: to salt the game away, chances to give Joe Burrow

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: a shot, yet again they failed. Did that undo the

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: positive gains of the previous couple of weeks?

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, I think you're gonna have

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: to show something over the final four weeks to give

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: you some hope of what are your core pieces for

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: next year? I mean, do you totally have to remake

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: the linebacker room again, that's a big ask. I mean,

41
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: after you decided you were going to roll a dice

42
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: of two rookie linebackers and start this thing all over,

43
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, safety position kind of the same way up

44
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: front on the edges, you know, with Tree Hendrickson probably

45
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: gone and just Ab said possibly gone and Shamar Stewart unproved,

46
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: and I mean there's a lot of holes. And that

47
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: was the disappointing part about Sunday. You know, at twenty

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: eight eighteen, I thought that was a more pivotal series.

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: The one after that that the Borough picks in Borough

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: fixty six was just a fluky great play by a dude.

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, if you watch that over and

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: over and over again, samar Chase is wide open. If

53
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: that ball gets over his head, he's one on one

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: with a corner down the sideline for at least fifteen

55
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: yards if not maybe bowling them over side stepping him

56
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: going in for a touchdown. And instead it goes the

57
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: other way. I mean, you gave up a touchdown drive

58
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: and a minute one seconds up ten that that can't happen.

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: You know, if they use four minutes, which is a

60
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: fairly quick drive in the NFL, then then you're into

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: four minute offense where you're just trying to grind out

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: some first downs and use their timeouts and get yourself

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: down to maybe a clinching score, or at least to

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: the point where when you whenever you get the football up,

65
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: there's little time left and they have no timeouts remaining.

66
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: Instead of minute one second stood back within three and

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 2: that's the thing that was really frustrating is I thought

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 2: that drive more than anything else.

69
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: If I would have said to you back in August

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: that DJ Turner would have a legitimate case to be

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: a pro bowler, you would have.

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: Said what I have said, You're crazy, man. I would

73
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: have thought he might get his starting job back at

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: some point. But that's the story. Actually, I'm trying to

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: bank for probably next week. We got a bunch of

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: quotes from Al Golden earlier this week. You know, Zach

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit today. I didn't get

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: a chance to talk to DJ today, and I'd like

79
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: to talk to him about it. But and usually you

80
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: know how this works, Like you're a Pro Bowl caliber

81
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: player and then it's probably one more year where you're

82
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: just not quite on the radar. But now you are

83
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: on the radar, so people are thinking of you in

84
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: those terms. So I don't think DJ makes it. I

85
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: think he deserves it. I think he's not just been good, man,

86
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: he's been great. Now he's taking the best receiver on

87
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: the other team and usually locking that player up. I

88
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: go back to the Roman doonesdays. Probably not the best

89
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: receiver the Bears had, but he gave up nothing to

90
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: roam with Doonsday. It's been week to week to week

91
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: where you know, it was a couple of games ago

92
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: where somebody made a catch on DJ and it ended

93
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: up being a passing OFFENSI passion in her career, some

94
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: of mine like, yeah, there's nobody cleats passes on DJ Turner.

95
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: That had to be a penalty. And so I think

96
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: that's where we're at with this guy. You just expect

97
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: him to shut down the best receiver on the other team,

98
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: and that's a luxury. I mean, it's wanting to have

99
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: a guy who's your number one corner. It's another to

100
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: have a shutdown corner, and then you can't get the

101
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: rest of the defense right despite having that guy. That's

102
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: a big problem.

103
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: So this is year three for DJ Turner and so

104
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: it feels like it's taken a while for the light

105
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: bulb to come on, but the light is on very bright.

106
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

107
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: Can I cling to something similar for Miles Murphy?

108
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Not quite to that standard. I think Miles has at

109
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: least played himself into a capable rotational end on a

110
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: perfect team. On this team, he has to start. I

111
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: do think he has benefited though mo from getting consistent reps.

112
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: I think that's helped him a lot to where he's

113
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: not looking over his shoulder on playing two snaps coming

114
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: off the field. I'm playing a snap coming off the field.

115
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: That it's more Hey, when I'm tired, I can come

116
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: off the field. And I think that has helped him,

117
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: and I do think he's played better. But he also

118
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: does some crazy things like he was a fourth down

119
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: play where he decides to rush inside and gets pinned

120
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: inside and there's nobody contain on the outside of Josh

121
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: Allen's able to roll out clean. That can't happen. I

122
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: just can't. They can't do that kind of stuff.

123
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: Somebody, you gotta knucking futs after the game, get postgame beers.

124
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: That how that works.

125
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with Now. We're usually a dickman's group,

126
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: but knucking futs is really good. It's one of my favorites.

127
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: Went off this way back the last time I was

128
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: out hers for a coaches meeting, and then another coach

129
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: from another school went to knucking futs and had some

130
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: wings and some beverages and just can't go wrong.

131
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: They got they got well priced large beers. There are

132
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: knucking futs right there on on Taylor Mill Road.

133
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: But that's okay. I gave him a plug day.

134
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Can you endorse it?

135
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: No?

136
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate you endorsing it because I do really like that.

137
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Place, as do I.

138
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, got best of luck tonight and we'll

139
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: talk next week.

140
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: Take care, says our guy.

141
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Richard Skinner from Local twelve and Local twelve dot com

142
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: will go to Baltimore next
