Speaker 2: joining Cincy three sixty.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: Hi, Joe, So Austin.

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: I'm standing in the end zone on Sunday at lambeau Field.

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 4: It's a time out, third quarter, and I hear someone

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: yelling hey Danoman from the stand, and I turn her

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: out and look and it's the same gentleman from the

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 4: Detroit game who stood up and yelled yeek stands up

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: at lambeau Field goes yee, And so I get a

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: good slab about that, and then another guy who rows

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: in front of him stands up and yells, ye man,

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: sixty three point sixty for a full takeover on lambeau Field.

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: How about that?

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: That is so cool to hear that, And it was

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: really cool to be at lambeau Field. It was especially

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: cool in the second half when the Bengals showed signs

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: of life. Did they unlock something in the second half, Joe,

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: I think so.

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: I mean, if nothing else, they unlocked a little bit

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: of hope for the Bengals fan base and a little

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: bit of optimism going into Thursday Night. And I know

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: you've talked about it. I've talked about it. Anybody who

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: follows this team has talked about it. Now that Thursday Night,

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, fields like the Alamo for this season.

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: This is the last shot, and the Bengals are going

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: to do this thing. You can't lose five games in

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: a row, you can't drop the two and five. But

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: if you do get to win, with the schedule opening

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: up a little bit here in the middle part of

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: the season, it feels like there's a shot here on

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: Thursday Night, But yeah, I think you have to leave

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: that game feeling optimistic about the way it looked, and

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: I equate it like this because I've watched and covered

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: this team for such a long time and I can't

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: explain it other than you get this feeling sometime in

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter that, Okay, this team is about to

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: do this. I've seen this before. I know what this

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: feels like. And when the Bengals got the two point

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: conversion and got it to six points and then got

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: the Packers in the third down and seven, and you

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: can feel it in the crowd, a kind of a

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: nervy feeling and a murmur throughout lambeau Field. I'm like,

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: here it comes a Bengals stop and they get the

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: ball back, and what a story it'll be when Joe

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: Flacco leads them down the field and win and they

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: win the game. They didn't get that done yet, and

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: I still think that's where this team the question marks

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 4: are going forward. Can they finish games? Can they win

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 4: games in the fourth quarter? But with him throwing him

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: being Joe Flacco, him throwing the ball twenty times to

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase and t Higgins, him having chemistry with Jamar

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: instantly in that second half, I think you have to

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: look positive about the way this could be and could

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: play out in the second half of the season.

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think when you look at the offense,

66
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: you obviously see the jump in the age of Joe Flacco,

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: but on the defense, they're getting younger. Logan Wilson basically

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: benched is the best way to say it. For Barrett

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Carter and Demetrius Knight Junior and maybe even a little

70
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: bit less of Orrin Bergs. What do you make of

71
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: that decision to go with the young guys on defense,

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: especially when, as you mentioned, they're looking for something out

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: of that group.

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think I saw a stat the other day

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: there are only seven starting linebackers who are rookies in

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: the NFL, and the Bengals basically have two of them,

77
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: two of the seven across the league, which is pretty astounding.

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: I think it all goes back to this team trying

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: to be more of a playmaking defense, and I think

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: there are things that Barrett Carter can give Al Golden

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: that maybe Logan Wilson can't. And you look back to

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 4: what this team is now six weeks into it, and

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: you start to see the thumb print of Al Golden.

84
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: You know, through two weeks you can go back and

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: look at the stats, the Bengals weren't blissing at all,

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: and now the blitz rate has gone up significantly, and

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: I think Barrett Carter gives them more juice in the

88
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: blizz game than a Logan Wilson does, and so certainly

89
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: I think that's the reason why Al Golden wants to

90
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: use him more. The third down defense has been better

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: in the last few weeks. You're seeing more looks, You're

92
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: seeing more of Al Golden's trying to manufacture pressure, and

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: so I think those are re why you're seeing Barrett

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 4: Carter play. I'm all for it. I'm all for a

95
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: youth movement. Barrett Carter's made mistakes, is going to make mistakes.

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: Demetrius Knight, I think has been exactly what I thought

97
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: he would be. He's been really solid, hasn't been perfect,

98
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: but I like what his future looks like. So I

99
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: agree with this on what the Bengals are doing. Logan

100
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: Wilson will still play. Logan Wilson can still help the

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: Bengals win. But if this team is trying to find

102
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: guys who can be somewhat splashy and the playmakers, while

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 4: Barrett Carter will make mistakes, I think Barrett Carter gives

104
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: them more in the blitz game and in the game

105
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: of trying to manufacture pressure. And I think it should

106
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: be exciting for Bengals fans that if Trey Henderson's able

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 4: to play Thursday night and Jamar Stewart's able to play,

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 4: now you see what it looks like with this team

109
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: having two defensive ends who can be difference makers in

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: the backfield, especially for a Pittsburgh offensive line that I

111
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: think rank in the bottom four or five in the

112
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 4: NFL and past win rate when you look at those

113
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: kind of numbers. So I think it goes back to

114
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: Austin trying to find ways to be more dangerous in

115
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: the blitz game, and I think Barrett Carter gives them

116
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 4: more of a weapon than Logan Wilson does in that

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 4: part of the game.

118
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: When you use that logic of going to the young

119
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: guys and seeing what they can do. Should that also

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: be applied to replacing Cam Taylor britt because it doesn't

121
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: feel like he's going in the right direction.

122
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, at this point it does. It does feel like

123
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: that's probably the right move. It's such an odd thing

124
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: and it's a hard thing to figure out. Listen, I

125
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 4: can tell you that the guy wants to be good.

126
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: He does everything right to be good, and that's what's

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: frustrating about it because we've seen it be good before

128
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: and there's no reason to believe that everything he does

129
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: and tries and says to be good, it just isn't clicking,

130
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: isn't working. And at this point it's it's almost as Okay, Uh,

131
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: somebody else has to play, somebody else needs to be

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: given a shot, and uh, yeah, I think I think

133
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: that's the move. Uh. The really surprising part of the

134
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: Bengals defensive backfield is DJ Turner and how well he's played.

135
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: I think if you go back and you played the

136
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: tape back Austin, of everything we talked about and everything

137
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: everybody said about what training camp looked like, DJ Turner

138
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: was was kind of the guy that people were throwing

139
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: darts at that that he was going to be the problem.

140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: He was not performing well in Bengals training camp, and

141
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: through six weeks he's been very good for this team.

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: So they've got that part of it settled. Down to

143
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: your question, I think, yeah, I think it's time at

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: this point to look at somebody else because Cam Taylor

145
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: Britt it's just it's going in the wrong direction, and

146
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: I don't know how it gets fixed, because it's not

147
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: like it's not important to him, and it's not like

148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: it's he's not trying to be better at this point.

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: It just wonder if it, if it can get better,

150
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: what else can he do to play better football? I

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: don't I don't know if it's in there, and so yeah,

152
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: I would try someone else.

153
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is really good.

154
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen or been around or covered a

155
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: player quite like him?

156
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase is very unique in the fact that I

157
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: don't think he's given enough credit for his football iqeah.

158
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: And I don't know why that is, because you know,

159
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: when you talk to him, he's he's a fun guy,

160
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: right he he he as a fun laugh He's interesting.

161
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: He can be entertaining in press conferences, and I don't

162
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: know why people uh don't don't understand or sometimes and

163
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 4: maybe this is outside of the fan base, maybe the

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: fan base understands it when they listen to him and

165
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 4: you really pay attention to a lot of things he says,

166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: and you know about changing plays and and figuring things out.

167
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's a football genius and

168
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: football genius has come in different ways. I think his

169
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: ability to see things differently, to suggest things, and also

170
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: at the same time, in the middle of a play,

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 4: able to manipulate defenses with his body placement and what

172
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: he's able to do with that. That that to me,

173
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: seeing angles and that, that to me is what makes

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: him different. But I think I think he's a very

175
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 4: intelligent football mind outside of being a complete freak. When

176
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: it comes to athletic ability. His athletic ability is off

177
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: the charge. Again. You see it when he goes against

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 4: you know, the top one percent of athletes uh in

179
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: the NFL who played defensive back, and he can make

180
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: them look bad, and he can make them look slow,

181
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: and he can make their angles look terrible. That that,

182
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: to me is what makes him so special. But then

183
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: you add on the fact that he's such an intelligent

184
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: football mind that maybe a lot of people don't really

185
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: get a chance to see or digest. But I encourage

186
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: people to listen to him when he talks and what

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: he talks about. I think that's a difference maker in

188
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: his game as well, and I think that can really

189
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: help Joe Flacco. You can talk about speeding up the

190
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: process of chemistry. It took a half for Joe Flacco

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: to figure out that Jamar Chase and he had chemistry.

192
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: And that was asked to about Jamar and Joe Flacco

193
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: in the week leading up to him making his first

194
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: start in Cincinnati. Was he looked back to twenty twenty

195
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: three and that great chemistry that Joe Flacco had with

196
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 4: Amari Cooper. Can that happen again with Cincinnati's wide receiver

197
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: number one. I think we answered that question pretty quick. Now,

198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: can they start pushing the ball down the field and

199
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: making bigger plays down the field? I asked Jamar about it.

200
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: He said, listen, it's been one week. We're still building.

201
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: We'll get there kind of thing. But at the same time,

202
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: I think it's hard not to be excited about what

203
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: that combination can look like, considering he threw the ball

204
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 4: to him twelve times and ten of them caught, including

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: them kind of coming up with plays on the fly.

206
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: That's what happens when you have good chemistry, and I

207
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: think you're seeing that pretty quickly between those two.

208
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: With that being said, and you know what Jamar said

209
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: after the game about kind of changing a play or

210
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: kind of talking about the way the corners were going.

211
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: Should should Jamar or does he maybe have more of

212
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: an impact or a say in the offense than maybe

213
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: we realize And is that something that that Zach Taylor

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: should lean into a little bit more?

215
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: Well, I think the one thing and I you know,

216
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 4: it's to read the room thing kind of here in Cincinnati,

217
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: and I get it. I understand the criticism of Zach Taylor,

218
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 4: and Zach understands the criticism as well in this league.

219
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: But I think the one thing that Zach does very

220
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: well always has is empowering his players. He has he

221
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 4: has specific individual meetings with players more often than people realize,

222
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: and especially with his captains and Jamar Chase being one

223
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: of those guys, they talked a lot. And that's why

224
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: when a moment life what happened a couple of weeks

225
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: ago happens, it doesn't fracture a relationship that Zach and

226
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: Jamar have. I think he listens to Jamar a lot.

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: He would be foolish not to. I believe he empowers

228
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: guys like Jamar Chase, like t Higgins, like Joe Burrow,

229
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: like the important players on this team to be voices

230
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: in what they're trying to do, he would be foolish

231
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 4: not to, so I think that's always been one of

232
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor's strengths is him empowering his players, and by

233
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: doing that, it allows guys like Jamar Chase who have

234
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: that kind of feel for the game, have that iq

235
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: for the game, have moments like he did on Sunday

236
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 4: with Joe Flacco to go invent a play and make

237
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: it up and let it happen. And I think that's

238
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: important for Jamar to have that kind of freedom, And

239
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 4: I think Zach Taylor's always enabled him to have that

240
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: kind of freedom, especially as he's gotten older and more

241
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: experienced in the NFL and what he's doing. But I

242
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: do think that's a big part of what Zach Taylor

243
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,239
Speaker 4: does here in Cincinnati.

244
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: Talking to Joe Danaman Fox nineteen look ahead the Thursday night,

245
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: obviously some injuries and maybe still up in the air

246
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: the status of Shamar Stewart and Trey Hendrickson as you

247
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: talked about earlier, But what's your expectation, like, what is

248
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: the biggest thing the Bengals have to do in order

249
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: to ensure a victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night?

250
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: In the unction. Hey, I had teenagers they're calling Thursday

251
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 4: ninety unction. They called me unk as well, which is hilarious. Yeah,

252
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: my guys, I'm dad. I'm not your unk. But hey,

253
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: I'm in the same age bracket as Aaron Rodgers and

254
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco. These these forty year old dudes. Man, he's

255
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: gonna be fun on Thursday. How much are they going

256
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: to talk about that on the Thursday as they should?

257
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 4: As they should? But yeah, I get it. Okay. So

258
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: here here's my thing. On Thursday night. Everybody knows how

259
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: big of a game it is. Everybody inside the Bengals'

260
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: locker room knows how big of a game it is.

261
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: We were ten minutes after the Green Bay game and

262
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase and Joseph Osai and Chase Brown, all of

263
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: these guys are talking about Thursday night because I think

264
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 4: a lot, like a lot of people listening to this,

265
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 4: they felt rejuvenated. They felt re energized by what happened

266
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: in the second half and kind of getting that feeling

267
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: back that they were in the fourth quarter against the

268
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: playoff team with a chance to win, and it's probably

269
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: going to happen again this Thursday night. I assume that

270
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: the Steelers will be in the mix to be a

271
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: playoff team in December the way they started the season.

272
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: So here we go, big game. Now. What needs to

273
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: happen for the Bengals to be successful in that game?

274
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: I think is kind of the sneaky takeaway of the

275
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: Green Bay game is that Joe Flacco isn't afraid just

276
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 4: to throw the ball at somebody's feet when it's not there.

277
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: Isn't just chucking the ball down the field and hoping

278
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: someone makes the player or hoping it falls incomplete. We

279
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: saw it last night. It gets you beat when you

280
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: turn the ball over. We saw with Jake Browning, it

281
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: gets you beat when you turn the ball over. Joe

282
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: Flacco didn't do that, and Joe Flacco only took one back.

283
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: That was the other big talking point was that here

284
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 4: you got this forty one or forty year old guy

285
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: playing quarterbacks behind an offensive line that gives up too

286
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: many pressures. He throws the ball away, He didn't take

287
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: sacks against the team in Green Bay that can get

288
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: to the quarterback and get him on the ground. So

289
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: those two things are going to be massive for me.

290
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: On Thursday night at ten, the Bengals limit the number

291
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: of times Joe Flacco is touched and sacked, and can

292
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco limit the number of times that he forces

293
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: balls or commits the turnover. If he doesn't turn the

294
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: ball over and the Bengals are able to protect him

295
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 4: at a reasonable cliff, the Bengals are gonna have a

296
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 4: great chance of winning it. And I also think the

297
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: sneaky other part of what happened in Green Bay on

298
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: Sunday is and I won't say they unlocked it, but

299
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: Chase Brown found a little bit right. It was better.

300
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: It was better. I kind of liked the idea that

301
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: the Bengals were tossing him the ball to the outside,

302
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: getting him in space, letting him pick and choose a

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 4: spot to really attack, and he found some success on

304
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 4: the edge a little bit. In the run game, it

305
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: felt a little bit more of a sixty to forty split,

306
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: which Ace Brown and some ijp right in that game.

307
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: I don't roll what the snap looked like, but it

308
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: felt better in the run game. Going forward, I think

309
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: the Bengals have a great shot on Thursday night, and

310
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: I think they understand the importance of this game. To me,

311
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: it's going to come down to this offensive line and

312
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco not making mistakes and not taking negative plays.

313
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: Last question before I let you go, Brian Callahan was

314
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: fired by the Titans. His dad, Bill has since resigned

315
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: from the Titans staff as well. We know how close

316
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: Brian and Zach are. Do you think there's any possibility

317
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: that there's some sort of a reunion between them this year?

318
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: Sure? Yeah, I mean, but you know the idea that

319
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: that comes with a ripple effect, that comes with a

320
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: butterfly effect. Can you bring him back in the room,

321
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: bring him back into the stadium and and that not

322
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 4: upset the apple cart speaking of the rest of the

323
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: offensive staff, that if you bring him in or are

324
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: you going to affect chemistry, You're going to affect ego.

325
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: I would think here in Cincinnati that the kind of

326
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: culture that Zach Taylor likes to talk about, that that

327
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 4: wouldn't be the case. That you can bring him in

328
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: here and you can help you win games. Certainly, I

329
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: think that has to be considered. I think there's a

330
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: world where Brian Callahan can help this team. I think

331
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 4: it would be fun. I think it'd be great. I

332
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: think it should be explored and look at it's the

333
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: first thing I thought of. I'm sure it's the first

334
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: thing a lot of us thought of when that happened,

335
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: is like, bring him back? Why not? But I understand,

336
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: you know that that comes with the dynamic of putting

337
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 4: that voice, a guy who had a certain position inside

338
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 4: of this organization back into it. And Tuys kind of

339
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 4: look over the shoulder, like, wait a minute, you know,

340
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: what's my role if we're bringing this guy back in.

341
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 4: So I understand that that's a conversation that's part of it.

342
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 4: But just from the outside looking in of a guy

343
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: that can help this team, has helped this team in

344
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: the past, can come in and be another voice, why

345
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 4: the heck not? I think it could help.

346
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Joe Daneman, Fox nineteen, Thank you for your time.

347
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: What do you got coming up?

348
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 4: So this week is a big week. Thursday Night yees.

349
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 4: Obviously the Bengals on Thursday Night Football. As soon as

350
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: the game ends, we go live with Bengals Breakdown. We

351
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: do our full thirty forty five minutes show. You'll see

352
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor or see Joe Flagel. You'll hear from players

353
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 4: inside the locker room. Thursday night, immediately after the game,

354
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: get it to Fox nineteen. We go full Bengals takeover

355
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 4: right after Thursday Night football and then Austin. I don't

356
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 4: know if you've looked up, there's two weeks left in

357
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: the high school football season. Crazy, two weeks left before

358
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: teams get to the playoffs. So we're going big on

359
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 4: Friday night with our final quarter and then everything is

360
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: full go from here. You're on out with Bengals and

361
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: Bearcats and what a season U see's having. And then

362
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 4: we have college basketball starting up in a couple of weeks.

363
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 4: This is a good time. Man, it never stops. There

364
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: are no downtimes. We roll, we go hard, and I

365
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: can't wait for this thing to keep going.

366
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: Man, love it.

367
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: Joe, thank you, man, Take it easy. Joe Daneman from

370
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: and basketball before be here, before you know it. I've

371
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: seen a little bit of NBA preseason action and obviously

372
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: the I think the College Basketball AP Top twenty five

373
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: pole came out earlier today, so we are not wasting

374
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: any times. High expectations across the tri State when it

375
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: comes to the college basketball teams here as well. Joe

376
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,040

Speaker 2: A little bit difficult not to sabotage uh these days,

391
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: but talkbacks will give you a shot to uh make

392

396
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: you tap on that little microphone, the screen does it itself.

397
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,119

402
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: the show from earlier today already posted, working on posting

403
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: Joe Daniman in that interview as we speak here and

404
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: everything you missed, whether it's me, whether it's Mo, whether

405
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: it's Bengals conversations, it's all right there on the iHeart

406
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: Radio app. Let's get started, Hello, Addie, Jim and Milford.

407
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 6: Hi Jim, Hey, what are the Benko fans gonna wake

408
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: up and realize Chase Brown is the worst running back

409
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: we've ever had. I don't want to hear about the

410
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 6: O line and everything, because p run runs hard and

411
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 6: gets five six seven yards. Audie, who do you think

412
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 6: the worst running back in Bengal history.

413
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: Is probably good John at Carter, definitely not Chase Brown.

414
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: That's kind of a dumb statement, Jim.

415
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 7: Audie, this is Steve down here in Parkland, Florida. Steve,

416
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 7: I just wanted to say, you know, I'll definitely mistne

417
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 7: Hopefully I don't know. Is it in a contract somewhere

418
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 7: or anything that you guys cannot have your own weekly podcast,

419
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 7: so we can all tune in and still get a

420
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 7: taste of the good old days. Looking forward to see

421
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 7: what you do with the show over the next years

422
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 7: and decades to come. You're the best thing this station has.

423
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Steve. I appreciate that.

424
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 8: Well, it's no secret how we all feel about but Austin,

425
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 8: you have to move forward regardless of circumstance. I believe

426
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 8: you're going to do a good job as you have

427
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 8: in the pass and staying on business, and you have

428
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 8: my support.

429
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 9: Bengals offense looked much better in the second half. I

430
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 9: know we've all talked about that. So far, Flaco's teemed

431
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 9: to settle win there. Looking forward to just Thursday night,

432
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 9: I think they can win this game. It's definitely a

433
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 9: must win in my opinion too, So take care of

434
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 9: everybody and who.

435
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: Day on well, Kevin, thank you, I appreciate that. And yeah,

436
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: I do think you know the point that Daneman made

437
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: at the end there about how the offense and the

438
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: players in the locker room seemed to feel a little

439
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: bit rejuvenated because of the way the offense performed in

440
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: the second half. That gives you some excitement, some beliefs. Okay,

441
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: we can do this, like this is possible to be

442
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: able to get it done even without Joe Burrow and

443
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: with a new quarterback.

444
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 10: I started listening to this show many years ago, and

445
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 10: being a huge Tony Pike fan, Live and die Cincinnati Sports.

446
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 10: I tell you I had to stop listening all last

447
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 10: week after hearing the news. But you know, Austin, that's

448
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 10: not fair to you. So you know what, I'm back

449
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 10: and let's go.

450
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: Well, thank you. I appreciate that, and I hope I

451
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: can make it worth your while.

452
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 11: Hey, Austin, Josh hebron, Josh, I just wanted to say

453
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 11: that I will be continuing to listen. I trust your judgment.

454
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 11: You do what you think is best. Although listening to

455
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 11: you and Tony, your banter and your contagious laughter was

456
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 11: really awesome. That's gonna be missed. It was like listening

457
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 11: to a buddy cop movie. So anyways, Cheers Tony, cheers

458
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 11: with Jim Kelly, Yes, and cheers to you.

459
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: Austin gret Well, thank you, Josh. I appreciate that. I'm

460
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: glad you brought up Jim Kelly. I'm gonna talk about

461
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: him a little bit in the next segment.

462
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 12: Yes, the Bengals should absolutely trade Tray and get something

463
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 12: out of him before they inevitably let him walk in

464
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 12: the offseason for nothing.

465
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: And they should also trade Tea too. I mean, this

466
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 4: roster is built.

467
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 5: The wrong ways, not how you build a championship team.

468
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 12: And just a week ago we said we couldn't name

469
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 12: ten guys in the roster that we're any good or

470
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 12: that we'd like to keep. And now because we traded

471
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 12: for Joe Flackaum or somehow going.

472
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 5: Of the playoffs. No, and people might not like this,

473
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: but what you can't do is say that I'm lying.

474
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know that you should trade

475
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: Trey Henderson right now. I think you should at least

476
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: see what happens with the Pittsburgh Steelers game. Yeah, And

477
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to say, based off of the other

478
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC North and based off of the

479
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: other teams kind of in the same area as the Bengals,

480
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: that the playoffs are out of reach. I simply don't

481
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: believe that. Now, if you can't beat Pitts, maybe it's

482
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: a different story, but I refuse to believe that the

483
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: playoffs are completely out of reach. I disagree with you

484
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: on that.

485
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 13: Hey, Austin Ken from the lext Year, let me add

486
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 13: my congratulations, as I'm sure everybody.

487
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: Else will.

488
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 13: Happy for you, hate it for Tony. I'm going to

489
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 13: miss the guy, but I'm sure you'll do well. And

490
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 13: I'm sure that Tony will land on his feet because

491
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 13: he's a very likable and talented guy. So again, congratulations

492
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 13: and hude, go Reds and go big Blue.

493
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: Ken, appreciate it. You're exactly right, Tony will land on

494
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: his feet. Looking forward to that and appreciate all your

495
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: support over the years.

496
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 14: Ken, Yeah, Thursday's crucial. If the Bengals win Thursday, everything

497
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 14: would be be all right, big f.

498
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 4: Okay.

499
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 14: I like Dax Hill, DJ Turner, like you said, Cam Taylor,

500
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 14: Britz disaster. They need to run the ball more, get

501
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 14: this offensive line tranked up a little bit more. I

502
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 14: have a good afternoon, Austin.

503
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, appreciate it.

504
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 12: And there's a big difference between being a biased.

505
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 5: Fan with hope and being an honest broker about what

506
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 5: you were seeing and what this team actually is and

507
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 5: the honest fact is this team is not good enough

508
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: to compete, especially Mountain Jim Flaker.

509
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 12: The roster is not good enough, so it's.

510
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 5: Time to make some changes.

511
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: Let's be honest.

512
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: I don't feel like anybody thinks that the roster is

513
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: good enough to fully compete. I think that's fair to say.

514
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: I think most people would agree with you there. But

515
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: the level of competition is based off of the level

516
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: of competition. There are other teams with whole with injuries,

517
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: with issues in the AFC, and so when you look around,

518
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: it's not crazy to think that the Bengals can be competitive.

519
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: I get where you're coming from, and I appreciate you

520
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 2: giving your opinion and what you feel is the truth.

521
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: But the Bengals do have talent. There are question marks,

522
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: there are concerns, there are injuries, no doubt, but can

523
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: you get production out of Shamar Stewart, can you get

524
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: production out of Trey Henderson? And can you at any

525
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: point have a decent run game or a decent offense

526
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: in and of itself? And if you can, I don't

527
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: think it's out of the realm of possibility to actually

528
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: compete in the AFC. That's the point. The point is

529
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: less about the Bengals exactly, and more about the offense

530
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: or the conference as a whole when the rest of

531
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: the AFC.

532
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: Both not healthy.

533
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 15: Sorry my quarterback, that's my broadcast. Peanut Butter and Jelly

534
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 15: iPhones and ASTs, Tony and Audi. Great combinations that came

535
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 15: to an end way too soon.

536
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh day, go Flago.

537
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: You guys are a great combination.

538
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: They message, Thanks man, appreciate you. Peanut Butter and Jelly

539
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: is still around though.

540
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 16: Well, congratulations Austin. Look forward to listening to you at

541
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 16: this time slot when I have the opportunity and I'm

542
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 16: right there with you. I'm hoping they can do make

543
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 16: it to five and four. That this team seems like

544
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 16: that they have to be like the underdogs to get

545
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 16: something done. I don't it's the craziest thing over if

546
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 16: it's a coach or I don't know what it is,

547
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 16: but they feel like they got to be beaten up

548
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 16: on and everybody give up on before they can come

549
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 16: out and prove everybody or wrong. I hope they do

550
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 16: it again.

551
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right there with you.

552
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 10: What's up?

553
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: Lossins Joe in Baltimore.

554
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 17: So, Joe, seeing what I saw on Sunday, I feel

555
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 17: like we have something we can build on.

556
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: I have a really good feeling about Thursday night.

557
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 17: And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm on hopium, but I

558
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 17: just got a funny feeling that we're gonna go out

559
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 17: and finally get a win and be a big one,

560
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 17: be too, and own a division with a chance to

561
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 17: write the ship for the rest of the year. Can't wait.

562
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 10: Whoda thank you, GP fifteen Addie V MWG.

563
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: Often I know Tony's not there. I had to do

564
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: that one last time.

565
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 18: I know a lot of people have waited in phone calls, talkbacks,

566
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 18: et cetera. Dude, I hated for Tony, I hated for you,

567
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 18: hated for since he three sixty, I hated for the

568
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 18: Tony Move Football Show.

569
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: Dude bummed.

570
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 18: But man, I just want you to know, and I'm

571
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 18: sure a lot of people have mentioned this, we got

572
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 18: your back, man, keep doing what you do.

573
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: We're here for you. Thank you. I appreciate that, man.

574
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: Appreciate all the kind words. Really do.

575
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 19: I got a question about your thoughts on the draft

576
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 19: and the Bengals draft strategies. How much weight do the

577
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 19: Bengals give to drafting from big programs rather than taking

578
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 19: the best player that's available, even if that player may

579
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 19: be from a small school.

580
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: Thank you.

581
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 20: Yeah.

582
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: It felt like a couple of years ago they put

583
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: a big emphasis on that team captains big schools, big programs,

584
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: guys with college experience. I don't know if it's as

585
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: much of that the last couple of years. I felt

586
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: like they've taken a few more risks. But you know,

587
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: like one of the reasons they talked about drafting Demetrius

588
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: Night junior was his ability going back and forth from

589
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: you know, a place like Coastal Carolina to South Carolina

590
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: and his veteran presence and having seen a lot of

591
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: football and played a lot of football and those type

592
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: of different types of conferences. So I do think they

593
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: put a lot of value on that. I don't know

594
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: if that's always a good thing, because there are plenty

595
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: of players from smaller schools in the NFL that are successful.

596
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: To me, it ultimately comes down to was this player

597
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: productive or not at the college level. And that's why

598
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm still skeptical of Shamar Stewart. I think it would

599
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: be fair to say we're all skeptical of Shamar Stewart's ability,

600
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: and it was part of the reason why We were

601
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: all skeptical to pick to begin with because this was

602
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: due to a big program with not so much production. Yeah,

603
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: he was disruptive, but didn't produce. And so to me,

604
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, does a player produce at that level?

605
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: If you're gonna go to a big program, that's fine.

606
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: Did he produce at a big program? I would like

607
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: to see a little bit more of that being weighted

608
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: by the Bengals.

609
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 21: Often, Welcome back man, whop you had a great trip

610
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 21: up in the Bay of Greenness. Did you happen to

611
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 21: way that andre josebash and see if he could catch

612
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 21: the ball?

613
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: He dropped like four or five passes. I write to

614
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: him and really, welcome back to whod uh?

615
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: No, I didn't wave it at andre I can't say

616
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: that I did.

617
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 22: Austin Almore, it's Boomer Drew from South Bend. Congrats on

618
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 22: the show. Long lift, Tony Pike. Austin, you're exactly right. Yeah,

619
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 22: seven minutes is left in the game, six minutes, five minutes.

620
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 22: I'm screaming at the top of my lungs. No sense

621
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 22: of urgency or down fourteen? What the hell are we

622
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 22: doing here? I couldn't believe it. You know, you got

623
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 22: to use that time wisely, and he just doesn't do it.

624
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 22: He just doesn't have any situational awareness. Thanks man, Good

625
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 22: luck to you.

626
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: Thank you.

627
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the there's nothing in the NFL that goes

628
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: faster than the eight minutes to go in the fourth

629
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: quarter to the four minutes to go in the fourth quarter,

630
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: and next thing you know, the game is in the balance.

631
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: And I understand that you're there with Joe Flacco and

632
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: he just got there, and there's a lot of stuff

633
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: that maybe you don't know, but I would imagine the

634
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: first thing you put in is the two minute offense.

635
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 2: What are you comfortable with? How can we get to

636
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: this point because you're going to need it at some

637
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: point in a game. And they took their time, they

638
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 2: were getting the call into the huddle, they're setting the protections,

639
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: and it's just tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick,

640
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: and you're erasing any chance you might have. Whereas if

641
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: you go quicker and you're able to get some points

642
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: on the board, maybe you get another possession, maybe you

643
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: don't put it all on one possession for the defense,

644
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: and you still were you were missing a time out

645
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: at that point, So you need as much extra time

646
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: as you can get. It drove me nuts. I did

647
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: not like that from Zach. I was screaming at the

648
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: game to hurry.

649
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 20: It up, Austin, And oh yeah, well anyways, I think

650
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 20: you got some.

651
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: That have an eath.

652
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 20: And you know what happens when a tiger has an eating.

653
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: And this is the NFL.

654
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 20: Man, you can only lose so many before you get

655
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 20: a win.

656
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: Let's go, thank you. I think.

657
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 23: Hey, it's Mike and Dell High. How you doing, Austin.

658
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 23: I'm still pretty sad about the whole Tony thing, and

659
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 23: I miss you, Tony, and I miss the dynamic you

660
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 23: guys have together, and uh, I wish you the best, Tony.

661
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 23: And I gotta admit it's kind of taking the song

662
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 23: out of my dance and I don't know if I

663
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 23: can even imagine singing any more to this little talkback.

664
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 23: But I'll tell you what, I'll still listen to you, Austin.

665
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 23: Love you still, man, good luck.

666
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: Thanks man, appreciate it. Hello, not doing that today.

669
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,160

670
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 24: talk radio since Greg and Mo were on together and

671
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,560

Speaker 24: And you know, at first started listening to you, I

673
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 24: was a little skeptical, but you've grown on me and

00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,080

689
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:50,920

694
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,800

695
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: Let Jamore go to work. By the way, keep an

696

00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 25: Hey, Austin, Jeff, and you, Richmond very well deserved that

699
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 25: you're going to be taking over the show. I think

700
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 25: you're going to do an awesome job. You know we've

701
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 25: butted heads over the years, but still consider your friend

702
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 25: and love listening to you. I was curious about your producer, though,

703
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 25: who is that going to be? Is it going to

704
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 25: be Drew or someone else?

705
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: Thanks, it's a good question. Still looking for the answer

706
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: to that question. Sometimes it's going to be me by myself.

707
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: I think sometimes it's going to be Drew. Don't know,

708
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what that's going to look like, but

709
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: I do appreciate it. Jeff, And if we don't butt

710
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: heads all the time, we just all agreed with each

711
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: other all the time, wouldn't be as fun.

712
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 3: Audi space Monkey here, Oh what's up? Space Monkey?

713
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,960

714
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 27: sports talk radio, and you are by far one of

715
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 27: the better hosts I've listened to throughout the years of

716
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 27: traveling and listening to sports Radio. We're gonna miss TP fifteen,

Speaker 2: Well that's very kind. Space Monkey, thank you. I appreciate that.

720
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: Are you any relation to brass Monkey? Nobody thought that

721
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: was funny. Okay, we'll take a break, we'll come back.

722
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: Football and NATTI is next on ESPN fifteen thirty.

723
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: Maxed out on credit cards you in.

724
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 26: Part by bud Light and by Oakley Greens on ESPN

725
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 26: fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

726
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit of college football. For football

727
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: in the NATTI. Unless you've been living under a rock,

728
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: you don't know, say, Bearcats now in the top twenty five.

729
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: That's right, one spot ahead of Nebraska. Coming in at

730
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: number twenty four are the Bearcats following the win over

731
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Central Florida. And oh, by the way, they just got

732
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: a big flip. They flipped outside linebacker Evan Weinberg out

733
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: of Springboro High School. He was previously committed to Central Michigan. Well,

734
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: now he's making his commitment to the UC Bearcats. Isn't

735
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: that amazing what winning can do? On top of that,

736
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: Brendan Soresby has been named to the Johnny Unitas Golden

737
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: Arm Award Top twenty five, which is great news for

738
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: Brenain Soresby continuing his tremendous season and rest of the

739
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: college football Top twenty five. Ohio State is still number one,

740
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: Indiana moves up four spots to number three. Alabama is

741
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: at six. Texas Tech probably the best team in the

742
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: Big twelve. Undoubtedly the best team in the Big twelve.

743
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: They're up two spots to number seven. Oregon is eight,

744
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: Georgia nine, LSU Brian Kelly ten. They moved back into

745
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: the top ten after being number eleven last week. Notre

746
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: Dame Marcus Freeman. They're up three spots to number thirteen.

747
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: It is BYU at number fifteen. They're up three spots

748
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: and USC into the top twenty five after a big

749
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: win over Michigan. That's gonna be a fun game this

750
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: week in USC at Notre Dame. And rounding out the

751
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 2: top twenty five twenty is USC twenty one, Texas twenty two,

752
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: Memphis twenty three, Utah, twenty four, Cincinnati and twenty five Nebraska.

753
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: Others receiving votes Illinois, Michigan, Washington, UNLV, Navy, Mississippi State, Tulane,

754
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: and San Diego State. So the Bearcats back into the

755
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: top twenty five, and they certainly have earned it, There's

756
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. They should be in the top

757
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: twenty five, and they have everything set in front of

758
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: them to be able to go on a bit of

759
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: a run. By the way, if you're wondering about homecoming,

760
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: that Baylor game in which they are going to honor

761
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: Big TP fifteen for going to the UC Hall of Fame.

762
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: Kickoff for that game announced as a four pm kickoff

763
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: at Nippert Stadium. I haven't talked about this yet, haven't

764
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: said much about it. Just it's tough, man, because Jim

765
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: Kelly passed away yesterday, and I'm thinking of Moe and

766
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: Dan and Tony and others who were so close to

767
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: Jim over the years. And I admittedly I didn't know

768
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: Jim that well. We'd only spoken once or twice, but

769
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: was always a really nice guy and would hear from

770
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: him occasionally some really nice things. And I admittedly didn't

771
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: know that much about his impact on UC athletics until

772
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: the last couple of months, and Tony had kind of

773
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: told me about it and kind of knew what was

774
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: going on behind the scenes, and it kind of explained

775
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: just how deep the roots are at the University of Cincinnati,

776
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: and obviously learned a lot about him. But it's funny.

777
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: When I think of Jim Kelly, I don't think of

778
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: Jim Kelly the play the color commentator on UC basketball.

779
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: I don't think of Jim Kelly, the bear Cat legend.

780
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: I remember clear as day this moment where I was

781
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: in Hyde Park and I don't know what I was

782
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: doing down there. I think I had gone to like

783
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: the Sincy shirt store when it was down there, and

784
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: then I went over to like Corporate and got a

785
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: cup of coffee or something or got ice cream, I

786
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: don't remember what it is. And I hear music playing

787
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 2: from that little area in the middle of Hyde Park

788
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 2: Square where you know, you get the benches and the

789
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 2: fountain is there, and I hear this music playing and

790
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: I look over and sure enough, it's Jim Kelly. And

791
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: we didn't know each other really at that point, I

792
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: knew who he was, and so I just kind of

793
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: sat there and drank my car. I just want to

794
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: say it was coffee, it doesn't matter, and just listen

795
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: to Jim Kelly play music on a beautiful day Hyde

796
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 2: Park Square. Nicest guy in the world, just out there,

797
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: kids running around, families, just a perfect day. And here's

798
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: Jim Kelly playing his guitar, playing music on this picturesque

799
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: moment at Hyde Park Square. That's the first thing I

800
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: think of anytime somebody says the name Jim Kelly. And

801
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: it was really cool to see that the tributes to

802
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: him yesterday and to hear MO talk about it while

803
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: he was on with James. And Dan posted a lengthy

804
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: Facebook post today which was cool, and he shared that

805
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: just sad man sad that things kind of happened so quickly,

806
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: and cancer just sucks and we all know somebody affected

807
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: by it in some way, shape or form, and obviously

808
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: just a heartbreaker see that happen with Jim and Bearcats.

809
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: I know Scott Sadderfield talked earlier today and talked about

810
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 2: Jim and his impact and honored him and that was cool,

811
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: and I'm sure they'll do something to continue honoring him.

812
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: It's just like they did last week with the tribute

813
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 2: on the video board. So excited to see what UC does,

814
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: but really sad that that was the case with Jim Kelly,

815
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. We'll put a bow on hour

830
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: a white Bengal game. That means the field will be

831
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: painted up. It means the Bengals will be in their

832
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: white jerseys, white pants, white sox, white shoes, and of

833

834
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: earlier today that the Bengals will be having Andrew Whitworth

835
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 2: as their ruler of the jungle. Big Wit, of course,

836
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: part of Amazon Primes Thursday Night Football coverage, does a

837
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: great job there and back in the building. If you

838
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: remember the last time they hosted a TNF game, they

839
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: put Big Wit in the stands wearing an Anthony Munnos

840
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: jersey or a Boomera size in jersey or something, and

841
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: he was talking with the crowd and that was really cool.

842
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: And he is going to be the ruler of the

843
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: jungle for I believe the first time, which is gonna

844
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: be really cool.

845
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: And I appreciate this from the Bengals.

846
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, the Bengals could very easily shun

847
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: Andrew Whitworth because of the way things ended and because

848
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: he has been very openly critical of their operation, but

849
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: they haven't. They instead are saying, you're one of the

850
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: greatest who's ever played here. You're already gonna be in

851
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: town for Thursday Night football. The fans love you. Let's

852
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to say men fences,

853
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: but let's use that to our advantage and let's get

854
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: the big fellow up there to rule the jungle. Good

855
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: move by the Bengals. Don't be petty. Appreciate that someone's

856
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: talking about you. Appreciate that someone's willing to say the

857
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: difficult things about you, because let me, I could go

858
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 2: off on a whole tangent about this. Something that's driving

859
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: me nuts in sports media right now is the amount

860
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: of wheeze and us is in very clear bias from

861
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: former players. I get it, they have a unique perspective,

862
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: a great perspective, a smart perspective, and there is room

863
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: and space for those people. But I'm not tuning in

864
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: because of your former ability or you know the coaches,

865
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 2: or you know the teammates or what. I don't know

866
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 2: how to I haven't given this enough thoughts to articulate

867
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: it on the air yet, but it drives me nuts.

868
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 2: Like a perfect example, last night, one of the mccordy

869
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: twins is on TV. I want to say it's Jason,

870
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: I don't remember which one it, or Devin I don't know,

871
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: but is former Patriot played with the Patriots, is always

872
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: saying us and we and this and that, and it's

873
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 2: kind of driving me crazy. And then he just says

874
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: Drake May is by far the best quarterback that came

875
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 2: out of that draft and the other people on the

876
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: set are like, what about Jaden Daniels. Is that sort

877
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: of like little bias that seeps through? Can we just

878
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: be honest? Can we just be honest? I don't know

879
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 2: that was a that was a tangent. Didn't really make

880
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: all that much sense. Give me some time to think

881
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: about it. Okay, all right, we'll take a break, we'll

882
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: come back. I'll tell you what happened in Green Bay

883
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: this weekend. Coolest experience of my sports life. Phone lines

884
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: also reopened at five point three seven four nine, fifteen thirty.

885

Speaker 2: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 3: Another summer is ended.
