Speaker 2: Welcome back our two since e three sixty, ESPN fifteen

Speaker 3: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well, we're gonna get to some phone calls in

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: just a moment before that. It feels like every break

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: Austin just moves upon moves are happening across the National

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Football League. Do we actually have a move that involves

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: someone tied to the Cincinnati Bengals?

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 4: We do, Okay, what about Joseph Osai? Oh, Joseph Osai

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 4: has signed a three year, thirty six million dollar deal

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: with twenty two and a half million dollars fully guaranteed

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: with the New York Jets. Holy Moly, the New York Jets.

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: David Mullaghetta. David Mullagetta has gotten Joseph Oside to the

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 4: New York Jets, much like Carl Lawson before him years ago. Yes,

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 4: future all pro Jo and the Jets just signed another

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: pass rusher, a guy that was linked to the Bengals

19
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: last week, Kingsley annig Bare from the Green Bay Packers.

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 4: He goes to the Jets. Just one year, ten million dollars. Okay,

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: So that was a name I would have liked to

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 4: see in the Bengals make a move on. He goes

23
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 4: to the Jets. So back to back edge rusher signings

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 4: for the Jets and their defensive minded head coach who's

25
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 4: superpower is play calling?

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: What about okay, what about any d tackles, any any

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: of those out there?

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: Uh yeah? What about a guy by the name of

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: John Ridgeway which kind of interested in him? Sure, well,

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: too bad, He's going to the New Orleans Saints. Okay,

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: two years, six and a half million dollars. Okay, John Ridgeway.

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: I like it like a jungle, Like a cat in

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: the jungle, just laying in wait right now are the Bengals.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: We are certainly not gonna sit on our hands.

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Waiting to attack, poised to make the first big splash

36
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: of the Bengals. We'll tell you when that's gonna happen.

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Let's take a phone call. Greg Is calling in.

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: Hello, Greg, Hey, how's it going.

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: Let's tell you know.

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: I was sitting on my hand till the show came on.

41
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 5: So now the show came on, I'm fired up, but

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: you know, uh like on Max Crosby, like man, I'd

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: love to have him on the team, but just like Austin,

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 5: not for two first rounders.

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 6: But then what you were.

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 5: Talking about, you know, the fire he brings to the

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 5: defense and the reason I'm bringing up the last few years,

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 5: my two favorite defensive players are Aaron Donald Chris Jones.

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: Those are two guys. You know, they're not only you know,

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: got that attitude, but they elevate the rest of the guys,

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 5: and that that's what I like. When I'm actually going

52
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: back though to one of my favorite Bengals of all

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: time was Tim crumraight in.

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: In the eighties.

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: I had like lower Redsi you know, in the in

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: the top deck up there, and you watch him sideline

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: the sideline, raising hell with guys if they weren't doing

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: their job. I guess what I'm saying the Max cross

59
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: You know, I loved somebody like Max Crowsby, just the

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: fact that he could you know, an Aaron Donald type

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 5: of Chris Jones type, that he could elevate the rest

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: of the guys.

63
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 6: That probably better.

64
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: So anyway, thank you guys.

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, appreciate it, and again like there's other

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: players like that, Austin. But I thought one of the

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: things that this Bengals defense missed last year and lacked

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: significantly was an edge about them. And again, does one

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: player change that? Maybe not, but far too often last

70
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: year it felt like this defense was just kind of

71
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: content with how things were. There wasn't the pushback. There

72
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: wasn't the blow ups or the player that you saw like, Okay,

73
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: that's not going to continue under this player's watch. And again,

74
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: there are more players like that, and I think of

75
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: guys in the pasts that doesn't need to be a star.

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: I thought, for a time, I thought that was DJ Reader.

77
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: I thought he brought a presence to him and a

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: presence to this defense. You could say that about Jesse Bates.

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: You could talk it at different levels. I think they

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: severely missed that last year. And I don't know, as

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: the defense sits today who that.

82
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: Player would be. And we've heard them say a lot

83
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: about leadership and talking about who's going to be the

84
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: person who leads from the front in that room. I

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: mean DJ Turner has taken some strides there, and that

86
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: may be somebody, But like Logan Wilson did not end

87
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: up being that guy because he wasn't on the field

88
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: last year. He couldn't play anymore. Trey Hendrickson has never

89
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 4: been a leader and certainly wasn't last year with the

90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 4: stuff he pulled in the offseason, didn't play and wasn't

91
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: really around the team that much. So because of that,

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 4: you know, it makes you wonder where are they going

93
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 4: to find that leadership? And some guys out there, like

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 4: to Mario Davis, like Bobby Wagner, like Kalais Campbell, feels

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: like they can come in right away, set an edge,

96
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: set the tone, and be someone that can that these

97
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: other young players can cling to, much like von Bell

98
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: was several years ago when he came in from New Orleans.

99
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: The bad news is to Mario Davis isn't going to

100
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: be available because he too is going to the New

101
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 4: York Jets linebacker. To Mario Davis, who has a history

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 4: with the Bengals linebacker coach Mike Hodges, he is signing

103
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: with the New York Jets on a two year, twenty

104
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: two million dollars deal that includes fifteen million fully guaranteed.

105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: And it's again just another position of need. Three guys

106
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: that I felt like would have been good fits for

107
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: the Bengals, I mean Osai, however you want to view that,

108
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 4: I get that, but it's in a position of desperate

109
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: need for this team, absolutely absolutely and checks the boxes

110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: of leadership and you know, a good tackler and can

111
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: help those young players.

112
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Say what you want about how they were, but edge

113
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: rusher is a significant need for this team. And in

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: the last week they've lost two of them, Trey Hendrickson

115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: and Joseph Osai. And again I don't want to I

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: get that there's plenty of players still out there. But

117
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: at noon today Austin, it started the legal tampering period.

118
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: But it also started the watch on the Joe Burrow tenure.

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Right like, this is a defense and a team that

120
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: needs to be much more competent than they were last year.

121
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: And we talked about it last week. Joe Burrow is

122
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: going to be watching on how this unfolds, how the

123
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: front office deals with this, how the front office deals

124
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: with what the up coming weeks are going to have.

125
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: It's big now because of the way in which we

126
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: talked to Joe Burrow last year and the way in

127
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: which you said, yeah, he was having a bad day

128
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: at the wrong time. That's fine, but you have to

129
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: operate in the sense that you don't want to play

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: with fire around Joe Burrow.

131
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: I think of that video from over the weekend where

132
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase is playing Arc Raiders on his Twitch account

133
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: and the news comes through that the Ravens sign. Who

134
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: do you get the news from? Max Crosby and says,

135
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow just texted me. Can you imagine the conversations

136
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: between those two, the two that are the face of

137
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: the franchise. They are the face of sports in this town,

138
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: alongside Elie Da La Cruz, and they are the future

139
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: of the Bengals. Their career is tied to this, their chance.

140
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: I mean, we talk all the time about people like

141
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: Willie Anderson or Ken Anderson or Geno Atkins down the road,

142
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: guys that you want to get into the Pro Football

143
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. Yep. Like winning is part of the equation,

144
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: and these guys have those types of goals and more

145
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: than anything, you got to be able to just win

146
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: games to get back to the postseason. And I'm not

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: saying that the Bengals can't still sign guys They're going

148
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: to have a positive impact they still can. But to

149
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: your point, this reinforces the idea the importance of this

150
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: offseason internally to the players.

151
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: I expected today to be a little different. I expected

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: us to already have some sort of news from the Bengals.

153
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: I did too. I thought there'd be at least one

154
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: in the.

155
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: First And again like, even if it wasn't that, what

156
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: did we see before noon started today? Micka Fitzpatrick is

157
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: dealt for a seventh round pick, position of need.

158
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl player.

159
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: Say what you want about Rashaon Gary and maybe it

160
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: was too high fourth round pick for Rashan Gary. You

161
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: could have got that done before legal Tampa ain't even started.

162
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: They sat on their hands there and for an hour

163
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: and nine minutes today so far, the Bengals have still

164
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: sat on their hand And to the point you made, Austin,

165
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: it's not like quarterbacks and wide receiver, it's positions that

166
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals are desperately in need of that have gone elsewhere.

167
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned it yourself. There been three names now in

168
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: the last twenty minutes of players that had made sense

169
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: or you could have seen making sense with the Bengals

170
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: that have gone elsewhere.

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 4: And you know some of these numbers too, like the

172
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: Jalen Phillips contract Joseph Osai, I think is a smidge pricey,

173
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: Like it's the price tags are high for ed Rushers specifically,

174
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: it is uh. But I will say this, I mean

175
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 4: guys that you know, if you would have told me

176
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the day the Bengals have a

177
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: chance at these dudes, they're still available. Brian cook O'daffeo,

178
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: Leah Chanel, Jakwan Brisker, Kobe Bryant, boy A, Mafe, Nick Cross,

179
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: Devin Bush. Sure, like you know, a lot of those

180
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: dudes are still available. So I'm trying not to get

181
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: you know, in Bengals fans should not necessarily be upset.

182
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: But you look at that and say, okay, well, these

183
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: are guys that could help the team. I hope the

184
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: Bengals have something in mind. Yeah, it just.

185
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: Again, I'll give them the benefit of doubt because we

186
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 2: have time. But I expected the first hour plus of today,

187
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: based on how last year unfolded, based on the Joe

188
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: Burrow effect, based on what this window is and all

189
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: the money that they have, I would have expected the

190
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 2: first hour and ten minutes to go vastly different than

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: what we've heard today, which is nothing, especially on the

192
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: heels of what we found out over the weekend. The

193
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens made themselves better for twenty twenty six. Say

194
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: what you want about them giving up the they've made

195
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: themselves better. Pittsburgh Steelers today have added a much needed

196
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: wide receiver number two in Michael Pittman to go alongside

197
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: of DK Metcalf. That is a position of need for

198
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers that they filled.

199
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: The Kansas City Chiefs.

200
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Who is the team that you are regardless of the

201
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: Chiefs made the playoffs or not last year, when it's

202
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and when it's Patrick Mahomes, you will continuously

203
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: be tied to the organization that is the Kansas City Chiefs.

204
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: They already went out today they re signed multi time

205
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion, multi time All Pro Travis Kelsey to

206
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: his fourteenth year. And oh, by the way, they went

207
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: and got the most valuable player in this year's Super

208
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Bowl in Kenneth Walker.

209
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: Paid a lot of money for him. Sure, but they did. Sure,

210
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 4: but why did they do it?

211
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: You mentioned a lot of people thought Jeremiah Love they

212
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: didn't want to take the gamble that Jeremiah Love wasn't

213
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: there at number nine, and they were not without a back.

214
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: And even the team that just represented the AFC the

215
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, the Patriots, they went out and sign an

216
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: ed drusher right away with Draymond Jones. Yep, it is.

217
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: It's a hard pill to swallow when there is so

218
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: much that this roster needs to have in place and

219
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: the money to do it. It's not like they've had

220
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: to go through cap hurdles. It's not like they've had

221
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: to renegotiate contracts. They have had the ultimate luxury. They've

222
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: had the time to assess how bad the defense was.

223
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: They knew they weren't making the playoffs, they knew that

224
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: this is going to be a big off season. And

225
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: regardless of what you thought about Trey Hendrickson or not

226
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: he played a position of value, made the decision.

227
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 4: Good with it. Move on from Trey Hendrickson. That's fine.

228
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: Joseph Osai, Okay, do you really want to pay twelve

229
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: million a year for Joseph Osai? I get that in

230
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: a vacuum, but at some point you're gonna have to

231
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: start paying some of these players. Two defensive ends from

232
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: last year's atrocious defense are not with this team anymore.

233
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: They have not upgraded at any position in my opinion,

234
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: at all in the offseason. Sure, they got the number

235
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: ten pick in the draft, what else where is this team, Austin.

236
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Are they better in any spot right now than they

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: were last year? No, and again, an hour and thirteen

238
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: minutes into legal tampering, they're not better. They didn't make

239
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: any significant trade when others did make a Fitzpatrick today

240
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: for a seventh, Rashaan Gary for a fourth. There are

241
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: options to be had out there, and I think it's

242
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: to your point, Austin, it's not like the names are

243
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: gone now. There are still prominent names at safety and

244
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: defensive line and linebacker that the Bengals could go out

245
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: and sign, and in an hour from now, we're talking

246
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: about Okay, Bengals figured it out, Bengals addressed some needs,

247
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: Bengals got into the game. But we are in a

248
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: very reactionary time and we're reacting to nothing at this point,

249
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: nothing from the Cincinnati Bengals. We've had on our hands,

250
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: news out of the AFC North, news elsewhere.

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: That is happening. Speaking of the AFC North, you know,

252
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 4: the Steelers went out earlier today and traded for Michael

253
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: Pittman Jr. You know who the Steelers leading receiver was

254
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: a year ago. Kenneth Gainwell. Yeah, he led the team

255
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 4: in receptions. Kenneth Gainwell has just signed with the Tampa

256
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: Bay Buccaneers. There we go, two years, fourteen million dollars

257
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: for Kenneth Gainwell. He'll be paired up with Bucky Irving

258
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: and Kate Otten's back for the box. Kate Oughten returns

259
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: as well. Yeah.

260
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: So again I we're waiting and waiting patiently, but other

261
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: teams have already done it. I mentioned earlier, and I'll

262
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: go back because we kind of glossed over it what

263
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: the Rams did with not only getting McDuffie, but then

264
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: making him the highest paid corner. They go out and

265
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: they get former Kansas City corner Jalen Watson Austin. What

266
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: was the Rams' biggest weakness last year that probably kept

267
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: them from a Super Bowl?

268
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: They couldn't cover JSN.

269
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: Couldn't cover anyone. So what have they done. They've taken

270
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: care of that. They still have a first round draft pick,

271
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: they still have the nucleus and the core of their

272
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: team coming back, and they have addressed their biggest weakness.

273
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: Baltimore has lost punter Jordan Stout to the New York Giants.

274
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: Well AFC norse open now three year, twelve point three

275
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: million dollar deal. Jordan Stout now the NFL's highest paid punter.

276
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: He reunites with John Harball in New York. Meanwhile, Alex

277
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: ANZELONEI that's a linebacker. He signs a two year, seventeen

278
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: million dollar deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alex and

279
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm just getting trolled. Goes to Tampa.

280
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: Now I don't I wasn't crazy about Angelonian Cincinnati, but

281
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: that is a position that you keep an eye out on.

282
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: By the way, the Patriots have agreed to terms with

283
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: the fullback Reggie Gillam. Three year deal worth up to

284
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 4: twelve million dollars six full fully guaranteed for Reggie Gillum

285
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: to the New England Patriots. He goes from Buffalo to

286
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: New England. Here we go.

287
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: Uh, that is the latest to cross the National Football League.

288
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: We're on our hands.

289
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're not going to do that here. We're

Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey, Alec Pierce all agreeing to deals. Expect Brian

313
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 4: Cook to do so as well. Big day for the

314
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: UC guys. Get him bag still one. That's one I wanted. Yeah,

315
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: and uh and one I wanted Brian Cook still on

316
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 4: the board. That's what I just said. Expected him to

317
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 4: go off.

318
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do that before we get to talkbacks.

319
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

320
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: By the time we get finished with talkbacks, which is

321
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: normally like a fifteen ish minute segment or.

322
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 4: So, yeah, a little longer than that. Yeah.

323
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: Well, the Bengals have made any move, I'm gonna say, yes, Okay,

324
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: here we go.

325
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 9: Hello. This is former president Ronald Reagan and the wheel.

326
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 9: Today's featured Cincinnati rid is former utility infielder Rick Auerback.

327
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 9: Hour Back played with the team from nineteen seventy seven

328
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 9: nineteen eighty. Hourback was a very weak hitter, but this

329
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 9: weekend I was reminded of the power hour Back still

330
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 9: shows every spring when we move the clocks forward, we'll

331
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 9: just never get that hour back.

332
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 4: It's nicely done. I like name humor.

333
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: By the way, Yes, those clocks changing that always messes

334
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: with me. I have never really Sunday was a rough

335
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: one struggled with, not only for me but with the kids.

336
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 2: It's not good for bad times. I have heard that

337
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: for kids it's pretty brutal. And dogs, dogs.

338
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 4: Like, why am I not outside yet? Oday?

339
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 10: NFL free agency tamper in a period is upon us.

340
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 10: Ladies and gentlemen. Come on, Bengals, get out there and

341
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 10: make some moves. Go stand on business and Sam.

342
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 11: That my name?

343
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: There we go, all right, we're still waiting part time.

344
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 12: Pike it off man, it's your boys.

345
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: Silverton.

346
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, every day you get to meet the local legend

347
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 12: of Cincinnati, just randomly at Matt Tree. But I did

348
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 12: on Friday when I bumped into Austin no more talk

349
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 12: some ball, gave him a banner idea. I think we

350
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 12: should start bringing back the banners boys.

351
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 13: Other than that, it was a.

352
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 4: Good time me and Austin.

353
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 12: He's then moved up to number one on my list

354
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 12: of guys on fifteen thirty telling you.

355
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forgot to mention this. I did get to

356
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: meet Alex and Silverton on Friday at at Matt Tree.

357
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 4: And also the other guy who says I'm blanking on

358
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: his name. I want to say, it's like Matt or

359
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 4: Jake or something. I know he's a Packers fan. Sorry

360
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: I forget your name, but yeah, I did get to

361
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: meet Russian beers, and I was the one who got

362
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 4: to break the news to them about Max Crosby. Oh

363
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: in person. Yeah, yeah, it was a big time.

364
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 14: Hey guys, Jeff and the Richmond Happy Tampering Monday, see

365
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 14: you both, Hey, listen. So I think this could go

366
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 14: one of two ways. Either the Bengals will come out

367
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 14: guns of blazon or they're going to piss us off

368
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 14: and look very passive in this process. Jamar Chase came

369
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 14: out over the weekend was not happy at all that

370
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 14: Max Crosby is in the AFC North. So this could

371
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 14: be an interesting ride the next few days.

372
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so far it's been a It's been like a

373
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: kiddie ride at King's Island, not a roller coaster.

374
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 4: Today.

375
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 15: It's got Happy Monday, everybody. Is it true that the

376
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 15: Bengals are looking at getting Jalen Carter from the Philadelphia

377
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 15: Eagles and offering up their first round pick? Is this

378
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 15: would you consider an all in type of move for

379
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 15: the Bengals because it seems the rest of the teams

380
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 15: and DFC North are going all in.

381
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 4: All I would say is, whenever the Eagles call you

382
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 4: about a player, yep, I wouldn't touch them. You're about

383
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: to get fleeced. You're about to get fleeced.

384
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 16: Yeah, this is Jim and Melford. I think that you

385
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 16: see Nates to extend West Miller. Uh, Choad was talking

386
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 16: about it the other day. The donors like them. Uh

387
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 16: maybe the Bengals good trade for Patrick Mahomes and we

388
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 16: could run a two quarterback backfield.

389
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 4: Wow, what do you guys say that? Jim way to

390
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 4: think outside the box.

391
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 17: Not overly worried about Crosby, but I would trade this

392
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 17: year's second and next year's one for Jalen Carter. Seems

393
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 17: like there's no way that they pay Jordan Davis that

394
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 17: they can keep him. Could definitely go after him.

395
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I mean I don't hate it. I don't

396
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: hate it, just it just makes me nervous because he's

397
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: you want to talk about there's some character concerns there

398
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 4: with Jalen Carter.

399
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 18: Hey, Tony, I know you like background noises. So see

400
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 18: if you can guess this one. That's me sitting on

401
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 18: my hands.

402
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: You're certainly not gonna sit on our hands.

403
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 4: Thank you. Oh they kicked the tires on Max Cross.

404
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 19: Oh well, shoot, now that I know that they at

405
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 19: least kick the tires on him.

406
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: I can sleep at night. Good job Bengals for at

407
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 4: least kicking the tires.

408
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 19: But urgency in Bengals, those two things don't together and

409
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 19: they never have. And it's just hilarious that we're still

410
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 19: having the same conversation about they need to have urgency

411
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 19: in twenty twenty six. To be a fan of this team,

412
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 19: it's almost like you have to accept that they're not

413
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 19: gonna care to win as much as a fan.

414
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: There's plenty of time left today.

415
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 19: It's just so frustrating to see all these defensive players

416
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 19: keep falling to other teams, Trent McDuffie and Rashaun Gary

417
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 19: and Max Crosby, and we have to be stuck with well,

418
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 19: we're kicking the tires on all these guys. I don't

419
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 19: know why we're not getting them. At least we're kicking

420
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 19: the tires.

421
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 4: What's up? Fellas?

422
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 20: Is Chad and the Dane, longtime listener, first time talkbacker?

423
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 4: Whoa Audi?

424
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 20: If you want ice cream sandwich, have Tony take you

425
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 20: to sugar Shock by the Tracks up in April. Get

426
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 20: a knuckle sandwich that thinks about as big as your head.

427
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 20: You won't regdit. Uh these you see players getting paid

428
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 20: today is gonna do number great things for the program

429
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 20: going forward. I'm super excited about that, and I think

430
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 20: the band are going to make some big, big moves today.

431
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: Who dah, Come on, come on, Sugar Sugar, Shock by

432
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: the tracks? You've ever had it? What's it? What's what's

433
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: in a knuckle sandwich? He said, stuttering.

434
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh, I like you knew what he

435
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: was talking about now. I usually just get ice cream

436
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: when i'm there, of.

437
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: Course, yeah, shock or vanilla, no sprinkles. Yeah, I'm I listen.

438
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: I would go on a tour of ice cream around

439
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: the tri State. That's I have no problem. I'm told

440
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: we're having an ice cream party today. Oh yeah, I

441
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: don't know if you saw that or not. Does that

442
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 4: an email? Yeah, you definitely didn't see it. No, didn't

443
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: get it. It was part of your uh signing bonus

444
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: that you're not on the company emails anymore. Yep, Hey, guys, TJ.

445
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 21: I want the Bangle to be uber aggressive too, but

446
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 21: if I was GM, I don't think i'd shell out

447
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 21: two first rounders though. With the addition of Max double

448
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 21: X Crosby to the Watt and Garrett lineup. Would you

449
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 21: guys sign or draft another stout oh line guy. Even

450
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 21: the light risinger and the airline improvement this second half

451
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 21: of the year, I'm not sold that the oline.

452
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: Is quite as bullish as I should be. I'd like to.

453
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 21: See one or more solid offensive lineman, either through a

454
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 21: trade or draft, if someone fits with the priorities obviously

455
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 21: being load up on defense. Is our airline deeper and

456
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 21: better than I'm giving it credit for.

457
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 4: No, they need to sign offensive line. They definitely need

458
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: to sign depth at that position. In a perfect world,

459
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 4: they do all the right things and they take a

460
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 4: tackle number ten in my opinion, but I don't.

461
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: Think that would require them to get a lot done

462
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 2: between now and then.

463
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 8: Oh man, it was great seeing he won Friday. Anyways,

464
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 8: we see Joe Burrow taking Jessica Alba out in Las Vegas.

465
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 8: What he should have been into an in Las Vegas

466
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 8: was meeting with Max Crosby. Yess he wants a girlfriend

467
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 8: over some defensive end. Have a good day, gentleman, man.

468
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: I was disappointed to see that it is not true

469
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 4: that Joe Burrow is not dating Jessica, because if he was,

470
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 4: I mean you want to talk about assembling the final

471
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: Infinity Stone or whatever those things are called. They could

472
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: have set out the rest of free agency.

473
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 13: Lee, has anybody called down the pay Course stadium and

474
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 13: given them a heads up that they can now talk

475
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 13: and sign players.

476
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: I believe they are aware.

477
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 11: Come on, Bengals, do not sit on your hands. The

478
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 11: MIAMIU game, that crowd was maybe calm down just a

479
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 11: little bit. Congratulations Miami Norse to blank up the Raiders tonight.

480
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 11: Come on, Bengals, do me a favor. Signed some defensive players.

481
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 4: Now that we got it from loud talk back. Guy,

482
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: I know what it is.

483
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: This has happened to me in the past.

484
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 15: They forgot that it was spring forward and set your

485
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 15: clocks an hour ahead.

486
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: Jesus, we should have known better. Now we go. Yeah,

487
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 4: so really to them, it's only twelve thirty two. It's up, guys,

488
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 4: Bigahuna Kentucky.

489
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 22: Seeing these signings. I mean thirty million a year for

490
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 22: Jalen Phillips, I mean these guys are getting too much money.

491
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 22: If I'm the Bengals, I just stay past. I just

492
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 22: go with what I got. Now, keep your casts based

493
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 22: for next year. If you do anything, maybe just give

494
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 22: one or two free agents a one year deal for

495
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 22: a large sum of money. But don't don't waste longevity

496
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 22: on these guys. It's too much money for these guys.

497
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 22: Might see what you can do next year.

498
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't like it, you know, we I saw a

499
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: tweet from our guy, James or Peena Bengals talk. Oh yeah,

500
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: and you look at the money that's been spent out. Now,

501
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: imagine you get T Higgins last year, four years one fifteen,

502
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce go's four year one sixteen.

503
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: Yep. That's a bargain that the Bengals got for T Higgins. Yep.

504
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 4: And further, you know, proves the point that you should

505
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 4: get your players done early, extend them early. They've become

506
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: bargained really quickly. By the way, the josepho side deal

507
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: that does technically give the Bengals a compensatory pick next year.

508
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: I think it'll be a fifth or a sixth as

509
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: of now. Six that's Tom Brady. Yeah, so mo not healthy?

510
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 4: What's that? Jens?

511
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 23: Bengals management is like that person who gives you bad

512
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 23: Christmas gifts. You see all of your friends and family

513
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 23: members getting, you know, the hottest video games, the hottest systems,

514
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 23: new bikes. We're gonna end up with T shirts and socks.

515
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 23: Trey Henderson the biggest reagent signing in Bengals history.

516
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: Don't look for that again.

517
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 23: Look for socks guys the end of their career, Nobody

518
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 23: in their prime.

519
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 4: Moolet, I want T shirts and hats. Subdivision champs. Yeah.

520
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 24: I think we're inclined, as Bengals fans and maybe other

521
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 24: NFL fans do this as well, to overreact the first

522
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 24: hour or two. We didn't get our guy right away.

523
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 24: We're also not overpaying for anyone right away either, and

524
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 24: there are plenty of free agents still to me. If

525
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 24: we get Brian Cook in one Edge Rusher, I'll be happy,

526
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 24: at least for today or the first couple of days.

527
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 24: I'm not going to overreact just yet. Even though other

528
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 24: teams made some splash signings.

529
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 25: Okay, hey it's Leroy down here in foul Meth.

530
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know.

531
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 25: I don't recall how quickly a couple of years ago

532
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 25: the Bengals made all those free agent acquisitions. But as

533
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 25: much as they complicate the contract issues, I don't think

534
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 25: that they are capable of getting a contract done in

535
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 25: five minutes like everybody else is doing, so it might

536
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 25: take a little bit of time.

537
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: I still have faith, gotta believe. I agree have faith.

538
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 10: Leroy Well, I was hoping to be optimistic in that

539
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 10: first talk back today, but now since Duke is sleeping

540
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 10: on his hand but not sitting on them, it feels

541
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 10: like they're going to wait to these Tier one and

542
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 10: Tier two guys are gone and sign a Tier three

543
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 10: Tier four guys say well, you know we didn't make

544
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 10: some moves here a how old I'm wrong, fellas hood.

545
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 24: I And you know what, guys, it's okay to sit

546
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 24: on your hands sometimes. As a man who suffers with

547
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 24: moderate to severe Raynods syndrome, I sit on my hands

548
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 24: quite frequently, and sometimes it's just what we need to

549
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 24: keep him warm.

550
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 4: Dude, Nice, Rainods is brutal. Nice, I feel for you.

551
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: What my best friend has that and that is just brutal.

552
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: I pray I feel for you.

553
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 26: Another Monday, another week closer, seventeen Lance, next days away

554

00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 26: Javier Valentine. Yes, and let's not forget the reds legend

556
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 26: last year. Connor Joe, Oh boy, he's.

557
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: A person you want to talk about Red's legends. You

558
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: see what Stuart Fairchild's been doing in the World Baseball Classic.

559
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: Dude, that grand Slam was a dang. Then he hit

560
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: another one. He's been unbelievable in the second one. Yes, Oh,

561
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: I didn't see that, Stewie the one. Long balls, Stue

562
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 4: long balls.

563
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 27: Okay, all right, Oh my goodness, Golden opportunity slipping away

566
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 27: know what to say. I'm over here getting irritated. I'm

567
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 27: getting frustrated.

568
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 28: You guys just sitting there, just laying there, chilling like

569
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 28: a like a lazy cat. You feel me do something?

570
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 28: You heard what Jamar Chase said. Man, y'all, it's real.

571
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 28: They watching, they're paying attention. We want to win, bear Cats.

572
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 28: Golden opportunity. Gown now just went to and getting ah nineteen.

573
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 28: I don't know about West job now.

574
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: By the way, it was, it was a two run

575
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth inning home run that he hit

576
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: against Korea as well, Stuart Fairchild. So a grand slam

577
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: and a two run homer.

578
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: Did they win? Because I know their team stinks.

579
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: I believe they won the game too. Stuart Longbassy to Duke.

580
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 26: R E l a X.

581
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 24: My hands are a little tired.

582
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: In fact, they fell asleep. I've been sitting on them.

583
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 4: Thank you.

584
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands.

585
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 11: Always.

586
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 22: Duke Big moves Jovin.

587
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 29: He's at there shaking the tree.

588
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 30: He's a wheeling and he's a dead ah. Rather, he's

589
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 30: too busy packing himself on the back about the Joe

590
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 30: flack As Trade talks about it incessantly, so proud of himself,

591
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 30: how he gave the Bangles a chance it didn't work.

592
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: Duke back, Yeah, he doesn't talk much about the Khalil

593
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: Herbert Trade wow said and even dam.

594
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 29: Our God stinks. I mean, shouldn't he be telling us

595
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 29: what we can expect? Instead he's asking the questions. He

596
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 29: doesn't have the answers. Who are the Bengals gonna pick?

597
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 22: What did he know?

598
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 29: So sad we've got the weakest guy there is on

599
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 29: the planet.

600

Speaker 4: Well, Jake tried to leave one, but it's it's totally silent.

625
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: He's probably angry. Thank you, Jake for.

626
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: Maybe that was Jay's way of saying, what the Bengals

627
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: are doing?

628
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 4: Jake? Uh? That was it was our last one? All right?

629
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,600

00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 4: we are through talkbacks.

631
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,320

Speaker 4: to make sure.

634
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: Is it one, two, or maybe three players that have

635
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: been signed since the talkback started.

636
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,400

664
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back since he three to sixty legal tampering day

665
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. A couple things

666
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: from what we talked about previously. The Bears did sign

667
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: former Cincinnati Bearcat Kobe Bryant. That deal Loston reportedly three years,

668
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 2: forty million dollars for the twenty six year old safety.

669
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 4: That matches up with Minka Fitzpatrick, who signed a three year,

670
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 4: forty million dollar extension upon being traded to the New

671
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 4: York Jets.

672
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 2: Big day for the Bearcats that started with Alec Pierce

673
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: on a one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal. By

674
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: the way, that's one million dollars more than t Higgins

675
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: is getting paid if you want to talk about value.

676
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: And the fourteen year career of Travis Kelcey will continue

677
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 2: with the Kansas City Chiefs. He's back with the Chiefs

678
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: along with Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP. Among many

679
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 2: signings that have happened today, including Austin a big one

680
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: middle name.

681
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 4: What's that Kenneth Walker's middle name?

682
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 8: Oh?

683
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 4: What is it?

684
00:38:53,680 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: Sky Well said, the deals continued. The deals don't stop

685
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: when we go on break correct. Another deal has come

686
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: in this on the offensive lineman market.

687
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest and top free agents, you could say

688
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: for a lot of people is Tyler Linderbaum. Tyler Linderbaum

689
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 4: has gone to the Las Vegas Raiders. Okay, he reached

690
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 4: agreement today, according to ESPN sources on a three year deal.

691
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 4: It's a record deal worth eighty one million dollars sixty

692
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 4: million of a guaranteed. It makes him the highest paid

693
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 4: interior offensive lineman in the National Football League. This obviously

694
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: a part of what the Raiders are trying to do

695
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 4: to protect who is probably gonna be the first overall pick,

696
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza, and he goes to the Raiders.

697
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 2: One other note, and I thought, this is kind of

698
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: an under the Raider one to me because he was

699
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 2: I think over shadowed by the greatness of Bijon Robinson.

700
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 4: I like Tyler Algier.

701
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he just signed with the Arizona Cardinals on

702
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: a two year, twelve point two five million dollar deal,

703
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 2: which is good for him. But I if you've seen

704
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: the last week or so Austin, I would expect monster

705
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 2: years coming up from Jamier Gibbs and b John Robinson,

706
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 2: whose co running backs have been moved on from those

707
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 2: running backs are going to take a massive, massive leap forward.

708
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 4: Let's grab ourselves. I'm curious to know what the Seahawks

709
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: do because you know, Kenneth Walker is gone, Zach Sharbonay

710
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 4: with the torn acl I think they could be players

711
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 4: in the running back market. I do want to put

712
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 4: this out there before we go to break our buddy

713
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 4: Joe Goodberry alongside James Rapine, Jake liscal Uh and Mike

714
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 4: I don't know his last name. The guy who works

715
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 4: for James does a lot of film.

716
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

717
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 4: They do a yearly free agent sheet. It's like a

718
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 4: Google drive where you can like follow in real time

719
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 4: and they put their rankings on it, their tiers, age

720
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: snap count, PFF stuff, projections, all of it. It's a

721
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 4: great resource to use and I just tweeted it out

722
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 4: again on my page and I just wanted to maybe

723
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 4: calm everybody down a little bit when it comes to this.

724
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 4: They have a tab on here for potential targets for

725
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 4: the Bengals of the top thirty five they have haven't signed,

726
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 4: basically as the only one or two have signed. There

727
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 4: are guys that are still available, sure, like leo' chanell,

731
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,919

732
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: Kyle Doug or Tevin Jenkins, aj Epenez or Charles O Mennehew.

Speaker 31: Well I don't use that, but I'm just saying something. Okay,

776
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 31: we use something to where you just gutting for punishment.

777
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 31: I guess if I like to pay for punishment or whatever.

778
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 4: But uh, who's your top target? Who do you want

779
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 4: to sign? Who's your top target?

780
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 6: I told you guys last year.

781
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 31: Maybe y'all prackting me when I said to go out

782
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 31: to mass Crosby. I mean we're gonna, I mean, I said,

783
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 31: but I want anybody. We could have got mass Crosby.

784
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 31: We could have got great anim two dB. We could

785
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 31: have got the whole thing because we don't do nothing

786
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 31: without draft picks anyway. And then they get draft picks,

787
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 31: they don't do nothing for the first Oh he's a project.

788
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 4: Are you gonna somebody? You want him to sign? Because

789
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 4: Max Crosby is not available anymore?

790
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 6: They all gone. I want to Crosby. I want a Gray.

791
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 31: I want to do corners first. I wanted to two

792
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 31: corners for the ram. Devin Bush, Devin Bush, come here after.

793
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 31: We need somebody alive back. I can forget me a helmet.

794
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 31: I want to kill myself for.

795
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 6: Half that money. Man, y'all gotta get pissed and so mad.

796
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about getting the.

797
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 31: Door journers walking around the stadium like I'm a Bengals

798
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 31: fan to have a Cleveland, I mean, just got a.

799
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 6: Let me say one more thing.

800
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 31: If I get out here and he get out, fans

801
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 31: of the everybody, Mike Brown, don't give an ass. He

802
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 31: got a root, if he had a little fill of

803
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 31: a million as, he wouldn't give as I'm telling you,

804
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 31: And that's how we gotta.

805
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 6: Be wake up.

806
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Dante, Dante, thank you. Dante's gotta

807
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: keep his phone on. He just said he's willing to

808
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: take a deal.

809
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, man, that's one of the best calls

810
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 4: in the history of this show.

811
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: Dante has fired up, and I'll go out there and

812
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 2: kill myself for half the money. I feel like Dante, though,

813
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: is the attitude right now that I am getting from

814
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 2: most Bengals fans. And again, we're not two hours into

815
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 2: this thing. We're about to be.

816
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're two minutes away from being two hours.

817
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: There is plenty of time. But I get it. This

818
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: this for all purposes. I thought was supposed to feel

819
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 2: different going into this offseason, and I thought that maybe

820
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: that meant they would hit the ground running a little

821
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 2: bit more aggressively or fast. Today that's not the way

822
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: they normally do it. And again, as you mentioned with

823
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: the sheet from James or Pen and Joe Goodbar, I

824
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: was looking at it, there's still a lot of name

825
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: I kind of like, out of the top ten targets

826
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 2: I think they have on the sheet, two of them

827
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: are gone. There's still a lot of names, a lot

828
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: of players out there.

829
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 4: I will say this, like, other than Alex Kappa and

830
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 4: Ted Carris, the Bengals rarely do it right at the gun.

831
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: Sure, but I did think maybe because of what this

832
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: offseason is, we would have seen a change.

833
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 4: Maybe. But at the same time, if you get Devin Lloyd,

834
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: if you get Brian Cook, if you get John Franklin Myers.

835
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but until that happens, we're still saying if while

836
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 2: other players are actually.

837
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: Hell but those dudes are still available, so it's still possible.

838
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: But we've already seen in the course of this show

839
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: multiple names that we've both said, Man, yeah, I thought

840
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: that was a good fit for Cincinnati.

841
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 4: That's those aren't the only guy available. The more the board,

842
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: the more it will cost. Keep talking about a twenty

843
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 4: one off season. I played this thing are probably one

844
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty times at this point five years ago

845
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 4: right now, And that was the year they signed Trey

846
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 4: Henderson and Mike Hilton and all those dudes and turned

847
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 4: the team around.

848
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: And they didn't do that until like day two and

849
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 2: day three. But what have they done since that moment?

850
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 4: I get it, But I'm saying, if we want to

851
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 4: keep comparing this offseason to then, then we do still

852
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 4: have to be patient and there are still impact players available.

853
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 4: I get where everyone's coming from. I want them to

854
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 4: have them all signed too, And I wanted Kobe Bryant,

855
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 4: and I wanted Draymond Jones, and I'm not happy that

856
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 4: they aren't here. But it's not like they still can't

857
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 4: go and get players to fix the defense. That's still

858
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 4: very much available. By the way, Charlie Clifford from Channel

859
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 4: five says, according to his sources, the Bengals are among

860
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 4: the teams seriously pursuing John frank eklind Myers. Okay, the

861
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 4: expectation continues to be that the Broncos free agent will

862
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 4: be the first major Domino to fall in the defensive

863
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 4: tackle class. That's from Charlie Clifford. Okay, John Franklin Myers,

864
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 4: Now that's more than kicking the times a dude that

865
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 4: I have been for this entire time. He instantly helps

866
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 4: this defense pass rush and up against the run. Doesn't

867
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 4: quite fit their profile as a thirty year old, but

868
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 4: maybe that's a guy. Yeah, that could instantly make me

869
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 4: feel better about this offense.

870
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: One of the quick one here before we get to

871
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 2: the break, Former Jags running back Travis Etn is now

872
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 2: a New Orleans Saint. So another running back has made

873
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 2: a move today as well. Our three will keep you

Speaker 2: updated with all happenings in the NFL. We'll talk Reds,
