0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 2>You want answers.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm entitled. You what answer the truth?

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>You can't handle the truth?

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Truth, the truth?

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to it. At six eight seven

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW Welcome into RNL Carrier Sports Talk. I'm presented

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>by Kelsey Chevrolet. I'm Lance McAlister. I'm excited just to

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>say my name. Let's get into it. The news surrounding

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals over the last thirty hours. Joe Flacco, he

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>arrived on the scene today for practice on the scene.

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>It was my first guest who covers the Bengals. His

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>publisher of Bengals Talk dot com. You should watch and

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>listen to the Enter the Jungle and Locked on Bengals podcast.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>We welcome in James Rapine and all right, for those

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>getting in their car on the way home tonight, let's

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>provide the update. They are preparing to start him on Sunday.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Is this is this realistic? Is it doable in your eyes?

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean more than prepared. I mean apparently Zach Taylor.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 3>The second sentence to Joe after they made the deal was, Hey,

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.199
<v Speaker 3>you're going to start to get ready and so it's cool.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I was surprised that devolved that.

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I was happy he did, because that gives you.

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>An idea of where the Bengals were at with this thing.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>They know the offense needs to be their strength. It

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>was built around the offense. They're obviously invested a lot

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 3>in the offense, even without Joe Burrow. When you think

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 3>of the Bengals, you're thinking of those star receivers and

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>you're thinking about getting them the ball. And so when

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 3>you look at what they haven't been able to do,

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 3>which is score touchdowns, how do you fix that? And

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I think they are buying into the idea of Joe

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Flacco eighteen years in the NFL, still has the arm talent,

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>still has the intelligence and smarts and also the right

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>mentality slash leadership to handle starting four days, five days,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 3>really after being driven down seventy one from Cleveland to

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>play for the Bengals.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And during that drive, if you could detail the what

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a playbook and game planning discussion as he

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 1>was being driven to Cincinnati.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's really It's so cool, honestly to know

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 3>the behind the scenes, because you know Joe Flacco, it

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>was a normal Tuesday for him, he was probably getting

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 3>a little rest, relaxing and kind of getting ready for

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the week in Cleveland. Finds out he's getting traded. And

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 3>so the Bengals they have two drivers, one for Joe

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and his wife and the other one for all of

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Joe's belongings and all the essentials. And so you have

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 3>two cars coming down seventy one, and as Zach Taylor

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 3>calls Joe, they go over the playbooks some and start

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>to dissect things a little bit and get things put

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 3>in place so they can and so they could hit

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>the ground running today. And I think that's the important

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 3>thing is you've got to maximize your practice time. You know,

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.679
<v Speaker 3>they have so many practices, and so for them to

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 3>be able to do that and use that time, I

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 3>do think that that could be valuable. Will it end

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>up being successful, We'll see, But I do think that

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>every minuteccounts.

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>You were out in front of the idea of hey,

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>kick the tires, look around, look at look at upgrades

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>at quarterback. You were out in front of this weeks ago.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>What was your reaction the moment the news hit.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm I was happy they did something, and I didn't

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>really wrap my head around the Joe Flacco move itself

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>because of the division part of it, and because of

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Mike Brown and the history with the Browns, like they've

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 3>never traded with the Browns, you know, and it's a

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 3>division rival, and it was just naturally you look at

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 3>it fifty thousand foot view and it it makes sense.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>From what Joe things, what they need.

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, my first reaction was happy that they did something.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was an obvious thing that they needed

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>to address, and you're right, a couple of weeks ago

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 3>would have been the time. But when I hear who

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 3>they were looking at, I'm glad they waited because Sam

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Howe wasn't going to help you, you know, Drew Locke

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 3>wasn't going to help you. I'm not sure if Joe

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Flacco is going to help them, but I think he's

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 3>better than those guys. And so maybe it wasn't Jameis

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Winston like people wanted, or it wasn't Russell Wilson, but

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I do think Joe Flacco can give you a lot

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 3>of those same elements. Plus I do think he's going

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.359
<v Speaker 3>to be a better leader than say Russell Wilson.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>James.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>What can the offense look like, now would Joe Flacco,

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>what can he help them do?

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>One?

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 3>If Zac made this very clear, I was almost surprised

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 3>at how clear it was he could pass the football,

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 3>which it sounds ridiculous. Oh the quarterback passed the football

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>dog James, Well, they haven't been.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Able to pass it.

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 3>When you have Jamar Chas and t Higgins, it really

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't matter who's on the other side. You should be

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 3>able to throw the ball around the field of it

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 3>make some big plays. And quite frankly, I know people

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 3>are going to bring up the offensive line, but the

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 3>past couple of games, even in Denver, when Jake Browning

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't turn the ball over, he left so many plays

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>on the field and the offensive line gave them a shot.

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 3>I thought, I'm not saying they're perfect. I'm not saying

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 3>they're flawless. They're not plenty that they need to clean up,

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 3>but you need to take advantage of the plays that

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 3>are there. And so what can this offense look like? Well,

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I do think they're going to be able to push

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 3>the ball downfield in a way that they haven't in

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 3>the past. Obviously, you have to give Flacker some time

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 3>to do that. At the same time, his arm talent

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 3>is extremely unique. This isn't even Joe Burrow arm strength.

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 3>This is on another level. There aren't many guys that

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 3>can spin it like Joe Flacco. So from that element,

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 3>I think you could see the downfield game worked in

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 3>their favor with the Jamar Chase and Ti Higgins and

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 3>then He's was really good. Flacco was at targeting the

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 3>tight ends, targeting the running back. So I think you're

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna see plenty of Chase Brown, Mike Kasiki, and Noah

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Fan as well.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>James, what happened to Jake Browning?

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, you know, I.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Thought about this last night. I was like, you know,

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>in training camp, the Bengals thought they had arguably the

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 3>best quarterback room in the NFL, because you have a

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 3>guy in Joe Burrow who you think is the best

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 3>on the planet if you're the Bengals, and then Jake

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Browning arguably the best backup in the league in their minds,

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure, and when you consider the contract of what

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 3>he's making versus some of the other backups, I'm sure

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 3>they considered him the best backup in the league. And

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 3>so for him to unravel the way he did, especially

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.839
<v Speaker 3>because he played pretty well when he came in spot

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>duty for Joe when Joe got hurt and leads them

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 3>back against Jacksonville like boiler Alert. Joe Flacco is going

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 3>to throw picks, but he's also going to produce big plays.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>And the Bengals could have lived with the interceptions is

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 3>if it was also coming with explosive plays. In the

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 3>explosive plays went away, and I really I don't know

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>where when.

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't seeing it better, or maybe maybe it's this lance.

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he just caught lightning in a bottle a couple

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 3>of years ago and that's what that was.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 2>And in that in who he is is who he.

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Is, which is an undrafted quarterback that was on practice

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 3>squad for the majority of his career and he's limited physically.

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but I do feel feel for him

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 3>because I think the Bengals viewed him as one of

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 3>the top backups in the league and now he's back

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 3>up Joe Flacco. Five days after Flacco gets traded.

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>For James, I said Sunday after the loss, this this

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>situation feels worse than the reality from the standpoint of

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they're still in the AFC North Race. There's still right now.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>They're the eighth seed the pecking order of the AFC.

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they're out of this.

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Thing, I know, and I think that was the importance

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 3>of doing what they did by acquiring a quarterback, showing hey,

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 3>we know, we know we have to be better. We're

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>going to try to be better. We'll take this step

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 3>and whether or not it works, we'll see. But things

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 3>were starting. It hadn't fully gotten there yet, but one

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 3>more a week and this might have erupted like it

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 3>was starting to, you know, the finger pointing could have

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 3>could have quickly become a thing in the locker room,

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 3>could have started to break a bit. And so you

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not saying that's all bage's fault, because it's not.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 3>But when you lose and you're getting your butt kicked

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 3>and you're being outscored one thirteen to thirty seven, and

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 3>all four of those touchdowns, by the way, were garbage

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 3>time touchdowns, it's it's tough sletting. So yeah, it's they

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 3>are in it and in they view it that way

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>and they should it that way because the team at

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the head of them in the division, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>They play them twice starting next week. They play them

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>twice in a month. You know, So even if you lose.

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 3>A lambo, if you had no business twice against the

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Steelers in a month span with Joe Flacco, You're probably

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 3>going to be in the asc North.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Nex you mentioned running backs and tight ends and the

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>impact Joe Flacco could have. I look at a guy

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in terms of his targets, in terms of his catch

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>right that is I think do for a bounce?

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Is T Higgins? Yeah, No, I agree with you, And

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that is the one that I point to.

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Why would you make a move? Why would you do it? Well?

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 3>T Higgins right now?

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>And I don't believe he's this to be clear, He's

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>just a guy. Yeah, And.

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 3>There's no planet, there's no quarterback. There's no scenario where

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 3>T Higgins in this offense without Joe Burrow can be

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 3>just a guy. Because they're built around he, Jamar Chase Brown,

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 3>their skill talent, and they need a quarterback that is

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.839
<v Speaker 3>going to get as much out of them as they can,

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 3>especially without Joe. And so yeah, I agree with you.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I think T Higgins unlocking him as such a huge

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 3>part of what they need to do, and it's it's

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 3>got to start. Honestly, it's got to start. Winn, lose,

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 3>a draw, it doesn't matter. Sunday a Lambeau like t

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Higgins should be a problem and we should be talking

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 3>about t Higgins making big plays even if they don't

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 3>win the game.

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Last question for you always appreciate your time. Let me

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>flip to the other side of the ball. Do you

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>see encouraging signs about this defense?

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 3>The defense is so tough to judge because of how

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 3>weird these games have been.

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean they've.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Been putting in really tough spots. I think I see

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>some encouraging signs for sure.

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it real or not?

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea, And that's another element to this.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 3>And you just you've got to be able to play

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 3>a normal game where you're not looking up in wondering

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 3>what the heck just happened. I mean, Minnesota game is

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 3>such an outlier. And then I just thought Jake was

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>fled out bad against Denver and that that game was

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 3>for the taking. And I'll be honest with you. At

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 3>the Land so we spent all off season talking about

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 3>how you know, if they're just mid mid middle of

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 3>the pack.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>On defense, they're gonna be fine.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I think that's true. I think they would have been

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 3>middle of the pack on defense. I think it would

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 3>have came together. I would bet a significant amount of

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 3>coin that if Joe Burrow hadn't gotten hurt, their four

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 3>and one right now, and maybe that loss was in Minnesota,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's a Denver I don't think so. I think

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 3>they would have won in Denver. Maybe it's last week

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 3>against the Lions, but I think they'd be four and one,

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 3>and so to not be in that spot, you'd think, oh, well,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it's the defense, and it's not. The offense has been

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 3>the worst in the NFL, and and that has to

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 3>change if there's any chance of turning this season around.

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.600
