Yeah, you know, I just 38 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 4: I've been thinking about it more. I've been reading about it. 39 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: I've been hearing it more. 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 5: You know, and it I was one I started. 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: I tried to convince myself, you did that it doesn't 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 4: mean anything anymore because of the nature of college football. 43 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: But why should I feel that way? Why should I 44 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 4: take away what's fun about the rival? Sure, why should 45 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: I take away its importance? I get to decide what's 46 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 4: so important or not important to me? And so you 47 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: know what, Yeah it is still important, and yeah that 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: does mean something, and yeah, I'm tired of losing to 49 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: those guys. And so now I'm back to having that 50 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: pit in my stomach to anticipation. That's good for noon 51 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: or noon fourteen on Saturday at the Big House. 52 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: Now that feeling, that feeling in the pit of your stomach, 53 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: that could also be the anticipation of Turkey Day tomorrow 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: as well. 55 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 5: No, I should just be a hunger. 56 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 4: Well, yes, there's a difference between a hunger and a 57 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: pit though, I think. Yeah, so yeah, no I I 58 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: I'm fired up for Turkey Day. 59 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 5: Now you're on because of all the. 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: Football that we get to consume, and the turkey and 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 4: the sides and the gravy. It's three and a mashed 62 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: potatoes and his stuff. 63 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: And it's three good matchups Packers Lions, Fantastic Chiefs, Cowboys, 64 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: the way that Cowboys team is playing right now, and 65 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: the Chief's coming off a huge win. And then Bengals Ravens. 66 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: I get that the Bengals record is not there, but 67 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is going to be there. Joe Burrow versus 68 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: the Ravens. That's must see TV. So it's an awesome 69 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: slate tomorrow. And then Black Friday, Black Friday Bears Eagles. Yes, 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: both teams at eight and three. That's an awesome game. 71 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: The college football I know Saturday is a huge day 72 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: in college football, but on Friday you get Ole Miss 73 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: Mississippi State. Can you imagine all this around Lane Kiff? 74 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 3: And if he loses the Egg Bowl, you tak Kansas, Georgia, 75 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, Texas A and m in Texas, Arizona, Arizona State. 76 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: Even the Friday college football slate is awesome. So the 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: next couple days are are flat out some of the best. Now, 78 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: I wonder with some folks, you know the trip to 79 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 3: fan is what's in Turkey that makes people tired? 80 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 5: Sure? 81 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: I wonder if people are adjusting their dinner time to 82 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: make sure that the trip to fan has worn off, 83 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: so you can be alert and active and ready right 84 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: when the Bear and the Bengals and the Ravens kick off. 85 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's Sunday. That's a good question. 86 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: I mean, it is going to if you're a football fan, 87 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 4: and if you're a Bengals fan, it is going to 88 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 4: affect the way that you maybe space out your meals 89 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: or perhaps space out your your second meal perhaps of 90 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 4: the day, or. 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 5: You're left over. 92 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: Is there a perfect time like I always just assumed 93 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: it was dinner, but I am I'm not coming to 94 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: an understanding that that there are more folks out there 95 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: that enjoy like a Thanksgiving lunch. 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, so for most of my life it was a 97 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: Thanksgiving lunch, gotcha. So we would kick things off around noon, 98 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: noon thirty. My goal growing up and going to my 99 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: grandma's house and Thanksgiving was to have plate in hand 100 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: and bottom to couch by the time the game kicked off. 101 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 5: That was the goal. And so do that. 102 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: You'd play in a turkey bowl and all that out 103 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: in the backyard and I would do that, and then 104 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 4: in the evening round, I don't know, four four thirty, 105 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: I'd go to my other family and go Thanksgiving number 106 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: two and that was more of the dinner or evening 107 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: a portion, gotcha, and then you have leftovers, as everybody knows, 108 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 4: for for several days after. 109 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: Man doesn't get any better. So I'm so excited for 110 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: the next couple of days. 111 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 4: I am too. I mean, do you make anything?

I 206 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 4: don't think so. Another top five are the same. The 207 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 4: top five stayed the same. Miami is inching closer to 208 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,359 Speaker 4: the top, but right now, starting at number twelve is Tulane, 209 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 4: the U Miami is eleven, Alabama ten, Notre Dame nine, 210 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 4: Oklahoma eight, Ole Miss seven, Oregon moves up to six 211 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: because they jump Old Miss due to Old Miss being inactive. 212 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: Oregon is six, Texas Tech five, and then you get 213 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: Georgia for Texas A and M three, Indiana two, Ohio 214 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 4: State one. Now, if Michigan were to pull off the 215 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: unthinkable and win this game on Saturday as nearly a 216 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: double digit underdog, is there a scenario where that may 217 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 4: even help the seating for the Buckeyes based on who 218 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 4: they'll play in the College Football Playoff? 219 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 5: I don't know, honestly. Are you going to talk to 220 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 5: often today? If it happens, Ohio. 221 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 4: State still goes to the Big Ten title game if 222 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 4: they lose, Is that right? I? 223 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 5: Believe. So yes, Okay, now. 224 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: Right now, they play the winner of Notre Dame Oklahoma, 225 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: and then in all likelihood played Georgia. 226 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 4: So after Michigan wins, and assuming Indiana wins, then the 227 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: Big Ten Title game would mean that Indiana is the 228 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: number one team in the country. 229 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: Well, I guess, so, I guess I'm wrong. Michigan only 230 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: has one Big Ten loss, so if they beat Ohio State, 231 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: they would have the heads up and they would go 232 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: to the Big Ten Title Game over Ohio State. 233 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 5: Damn it. 234 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: But then we'd still get in probably, yeah, yeah, you 235 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: have to play an extra game. 236 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 3: Now if it if it is inclement weather, is that 237 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: helping Michigan or helping Ohio State? With how the teams 238 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: are made up this year. 239 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 4: I would say it it slightly helps Michigan. 240 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 5: Okay. 241 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 4: Jordan Marshall mowla running back, that's right. I mean that's 242 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: what Michigan does. Man, they just run the football like crazy. Uh. 243 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 4: Ho State has been good running the ball, but it's 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: not because their offensive line is just dominating people in 245 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: the trenches. It's because the running backs have been excellent. Yeah, 246 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 4: so there's a little bit of a difference there. So 247 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. The whole thing makes me nervous, gotcha. 248 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: Also, we've got some college hoops tonight, well actually today 249 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: as well. NKU getting ready to host Walford. That happens 250 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: at two o'clock this afternoon. The Bearcats will welcome into 251 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 3: EMUs Eastern Michigan comes to Fifth Third Arena tonight at 252 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: five o'clock or I'm sorry, at seven o'clock.

So that is 255 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 3: the local college basketball slate right now. That's that's upcoming. Well, 256 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: we'll touch on that with Keeg and nickoson at two 257 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: o'clock when we come back. 258 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 5: Football in the NATTI. 259 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: We got some stuff we've got to read and react to, 260 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: right and then phone calls five one, three, seven, fifteen thirty. 261 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: That comes up next on the Home of the Bengals, 262 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 263 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is Ball in the NATI, brought to you 264 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: by Postman Law on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home 265 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,119 Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Bengals. 266 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: Welcome back since he three to sixty thanks to Skyline 267 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: Chile on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Let's do it. Bengals 279 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 5: running back Chase Brown. I like him. 280 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 4: Over the the first three weeks of the season, Chase 281 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 4: Brown recorded a minus fifty four rushing yards before contact 282 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 4: that was fewest in the NFL, while averaging a league 283 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: low minus one point two yards before contact per carry. 284 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: Oh However, since those first three weeks, Brown's yards before 285 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 4: contact per carry has improved to one point seven, the 286 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 4: fifth most among running backs from weeks four through twelve. 287 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 5: React to me, It's just I think it's a credit 288 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: to Chase Brown. 289 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: I do think Joe Flacco played a role in that 290 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: with his ability to go under center, But more importantly, Austin, 291 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: I think we need to highlight the offensive line at 292 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: this point. 293 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 5: I know that we had. 294 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 3: Questions going into the season in the early part of 295 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: the season, and we'll see if they go back to 296 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: the majority shotgun, if that offensive line resorts back to 297 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 3: who they were, and I actually think Austin, that could 298 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: be one of the main storrery lines coming out if 299 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: they don't run the ball successfully tomorrow night when they 300 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: have been Do you look at Joe Burrow for that? 301 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: Do you look at how the system changes with Joe 302 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 3: Burrow quarterback. I'm fascinated to see Chase Brown for five 303 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: straight weeks has been over one hundred scrim scrimmageyarge in 304 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: each of the last five games. That's the longest streak 305 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: in the National Football League. 306 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: It is. 307 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: It has been the ability of the quick passing game 308 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 3: to slow down the defensive front, mixed in with a 309 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: little bit ability to go under center. But I think 310 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: the offensive line and Chase Brown individually have a lot 311 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: to say from that as well. Read Baltimore center Tyler 312 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: Linderbaum has allowed pressure on six point four percent of 313 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: his pass block snaps this season. That's the fifth highest 314 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: rate among players with at least one hundred and fifty 315 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: pass blocking snaps at center. However, eighteen of Linderbaum's twenty 316 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: two pressures and four of his four four and a 317 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 3: half sacks allowed have come on dropbacks of over four seconds. 318 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 3: As a result, across his twenty two pressures allowed, they've 319 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 3: come in an average of three point four to two seconds, 320 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: the eighth longest averaged throw time, the eighth longest average 321 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 3: time to pressure among that same group of sinners. So 322 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 3: this is clearly you read that initial part and you're thinking, man, 323 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 3: Tyler Linnebaum is just not great. The second part of 324 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 3: that shows that maybe it's Lamar Jackson or whoever's playing quarterbacks 325 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: just holding onto the ball too long. That is one 326 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 3: of the things Lamar Jackson is going to do is 327 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 3: he's not going to throw the ball away. He feels 328 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: that every time there is a play that there's a 329 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: big play to be made, and he's going to scramble 330 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 3: as long as possible to help that happen. You said 331 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 3: eighteen of the twenty two pressures, Yeah, I mean that's 332 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 3: over four seconds. Is a long time in the pocket 333 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: snap to pass, you want to be around two and 334 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: half at the latest. That just tells me that Tyler 335 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: Lindenbaum is more of a victim of his quarterback and 336 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 3: not his actual ability to pass block. I think Tyler 337 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: Lindemom's a good player, and let's be honest. They're going 338 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 3: up against a defensive line that is registered as a 339 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: whole sixteen sacks on the season. That favors a good 340 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: matchup for the Baltimore offensive line, and on the other side, 341 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: it should favor a good matchup for the Bengals offensive line, 342 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: as Baltimore Ravens have just two more sacks as a 343 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 3: team on the season than the Bengals. 344 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 4: But the Ravens are generating pressure. Listen to this. The 345 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 4: Ravens defense has generated pressure at the fifth lowest rate 346 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 4: in the NFL this season, twenty nine point four percent, 347 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 4: and when they have gotten pressure, they've converted just fourteen 348 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: point one of those opportunities into sacks. That's the fourth 349 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 4: lowest mark in the league. However, the Ravens have been 350 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 4: effective in generating unblocked pressure season, as they're nine point 351 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 4: four percent unblocked pressure rate is the sixth highest mark 352 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: entering Week thirteen. 353 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: Well, that just tells me that they're not able to 354 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: get home with the initial pass rush. If you're talking 355 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: about unblocked pressures, to me, that is blitzing where you're 356 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: bringing an extra hat that's not getting blocked. Now you 357 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 3: can you can call that creativity in the blitz game. 358 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 3: So maybe where you align a certain way, it changes 359 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: a protection and now you're getting guys unblocked. But the 360 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: generating of pressure at the fifth lowest rate in the 361 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: NFL for the Baltimore Ravens, that tells me they're just 362 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 3: not getting home. They're not able to generate enough pressure 363 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 3: with their front three or four, and anytime they do, 364 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: they're still not converting those opportunities into sacks. So they 365 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 3: have to bring extra pressure, which again that's great. When 366 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: you can catch a team bringing those pressures all of 367 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: a sudden, you start having big gains. That is where 368 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: I think Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase can take advantage 369 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: edge of the Ravens tomorrow night. 370 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 4: Jamar Chase had one hundred and twelve total matchups against 371 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 4: Ravens defenders in coverage last season. Of those, one hundred 372 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 4: and twelve matchups. Twenty six came against Brandon Stevens. He's 373 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 4: no longer on the team. Marlon Humphrey was in coverage 374 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 4: for sixteen Nate Wiggins fourteen. Against Humphrey, Chase was targeted 375 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 4: five times, catching three passes for forty eight yards, though 376 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 4: Humphrey also recorded an interception. Against Wiggins, Chase was also 377 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 4: targeted five times but managed just one reception for twelve yards. 378 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: Would I'd react to that in a way that that 379 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: I think a lot of players in the NFL would 380 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 3: have similar numbers going man to man against Jamar Chase. 381 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 3: I just don't envision with the with the success Jamar 382 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 3: Chase and Joe Burrow had against this Ravens secondary and 383 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 3: playing without T. Higgins, I wouldn't imagine you're seeing one 384 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: on one at all tomorrow night. I would think every 385 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: time that Joe Burrow drops to pass, there's gonna be 386 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: some double team given to Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase is 387 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: so good after the catch. He had four hundred and 388 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 3: fifty seven yards combined against the Baltimore Ravens last year. 389 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: And it's a team and a defense that he knows, 390 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 3: and Joe Burrow knows very very well, so you can 391 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: throw names at Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stevens, whoever it may be. 392 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: No one's gonna have success in matchups one on one 393 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: against Jamar Chase. With no T Higgins, I would fully 394 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 3: expect the Baltimore Ravens to send two Jamar Chase's way 395 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: each and every snap Tomorrow night. 396 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 5: One more. Let's go Lamar Jackson. Lamar. 397 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson has completed play action passes at the highest 398 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 4: rate in the NFL this season eighty three percent, while 399 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 4: generating the second most yards per attempt thirteen point four, 400 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 4: trailing only Seattle's Sam Darnold. However, on passes without play action, 401 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 4: Xson has a completion rate of just sixty percent that's 402 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: the seventh lowest, and an average of six point two 403 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 4: yards per attempt the eighth fewest. His twenty two and 404 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 4: a half percent decreased in completion rate and seven point 405 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 4: two yard decrease in yards per attempt are both the 406 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 4: largest among qualified quarterbacks. 407 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 5: You know, this is just who they're going to be. 408 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 3: We've waited for years and years and years for Lamar 409 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 3: Jackson to just be a complete drop back passer. And 410 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: you could talk about the weapons and I certainly think 411 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: they do have weapons. I think Mark Andrews is playing well, 412 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: Zay Flowers is coming into his own. But if the 413 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: Ravens are going to be successful, it's because they're running 414 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 3: the ball to set up to pass. 415 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 5: Now. 416 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: I know Derrick Henry is not as effective as he's 417 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 3: been in years past. I know the offensive line in 418 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 3: the run game has not been as effective they as 419 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: they've been in years past. I also Austin, I don't 420 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: know what the numbers are, but it doesn't feel like 421 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is a designed runner as much this year. 422 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 4: Actually, he's been banged up. He's one of the insights 423 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 4: on here as well. I can pull that up, go ahead. 424 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 3: He's he's not been a designed runner, and I think 425 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: a lot of that is because of the injuries he's sustained. 426 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 3: Me He's been on the injury report nearly every week 427 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: for something different. So when he's not being used as 428 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: a runner and Derek Henry's not having as much success 429 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: in the running game, teams are now saying, Okay, let's 430 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 3: make him more of a passer, and they're not biting 431 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: as much on the play action. So he's always going 432 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 3: to be elite if you get the running game going 433 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: and you're able to run the play action pass, if 434 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: you're asking him to be a dropback passer, it's still 435 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 3: just not where Lamar Jackson is comfortable. That's where you 436 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: have a chance to get wins against this Ravens offense. 437 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 4: Here's the next gen stats on that. Lamar Jackson has 438 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: averaged just two point three designed runs per game this season. 439 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: That's the fewest of his career and over half of 440 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 4: his career average entering twenty twenty five, which was five 441 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 4: point six. He has also scrambled on just sixteen point 442 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 4: three percent of his dropbacks, by far the lowest of 443 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 4: his career. Between designed rush in scramble rushes, Jackson has 444 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: averaged five point eight carries per game, which is far 445 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: fewer than his career average Entering the season. 446 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 3: It just feels like not only has he dealt with injuries, 447 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 3: but it's been lower body injuries which affect his ability 448 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 3: to extend the play and be that playmaker that he's 449 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: been for so much of his career. I wouldn't have 450 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 3: thought it was even that low. I mean, that is 451 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 3: that's not a normal Baltimore Ravens clip and when you 452 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: factor that in with at this point of the season, 453 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry's lack of rushing ability. I mean, I'm not 454 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 3: saying that Derek Henry is, but he's six in the 455 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 3: NFL in rushing yards. So this isn't one of those 456 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 3: cases where you know Derrick Henry has fallen off, but 457 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 3: I believe he's fifteenth in the NFL in yards per carry. 458 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 3: So he's just not generating as many yards per carry 459 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: as we've seen years past. And you factor that in 460 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 3: with Lamar not running as much, well, then teams aren't 461 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: going to bite as much on the play action, so 462 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: you've got to run more drop back and Lamar is 463 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: struggling to do that. That is where if the Bengals 464 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: can stop the run tomorrow night, make him a passer. 465 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: You you give yourself at least a chance to start 466 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 3: getting home.

When he's on 576 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 10: the side. 577 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 5: That was a good point. 578 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 10: Mark Yeah, hey, yeah, oh yeah, I mean yeah, the 579 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 10: word turning over when off Nebo. And then you got 580 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 10: you got to put that in the trophy case because 581 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 10: you ain't gonna get too many of. 582 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 5: Those hold on to that. 583 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 10: What But I got a I got a Dack's heel question, 584 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 10: and I got a Muma jip that got what happened 585 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 10: to that guy? And the reason I'm asking about him? 586 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 10: I would be in favor of a defense of philosophy 587 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 10: change where he looked like a perfect middle linebacker that 588 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 10: would stick his head in there in gaps and make tackles. 589 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 10: And the two linebackers that they have, they look more 590 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 10: like linebackers that you would play like if you play 591 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 10: a three four defense and one of them was the 592 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 10: strong side linebacker and one was a weak side. They 593 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 10: look more like linebackers that's more suited for that. 594 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 7: As opposed to what they're doing now. 595 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 4: I mean, and my off on that now with the 596 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers, by the way, he's yes, he was signed 597 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 4: off the Bengals practice squad. 598 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 10: Okay, so the Bengals, Yeah, I thought I thought he 599 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 10: I thought that he should have gave him a shot 600 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 10: because I think. 601 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 3: I mean, with how bad the linebacking play has been 602 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 3: for sure? 603 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 5: Sure? 604 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 6: Yeah? 605 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 11: Is that okay? 606 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 7: Dax Hill? 607 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 10: Let's let's he looks like Mike Hilton. When when he's 608 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 10: close to the line of scrimmage and you Ron Blitzey, 609 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 10: he looks good. But when you get him back there 610 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 10: and coverage, you know it's either get burnt or get 611 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 10: So who are we ready to give up on him? 612 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 10: I mean, he he can't play safety. I don't think 613 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 10: he's a good cornerback. So how how do you use him? 614 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Marko, let's we'll discuss that. Thank you for the 615 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 3: phone call. Dax Hill is interesting to me, Austin. Overall, 616 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 3: PFF hasn't been fifty two point nine this year, but 617 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 3: from a tackling point of view, he's ranked first with 618 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 3: fifty four solo tackles. On a defense that doesn't tackle right, 619 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: on a defense that struggles to tackle in space, Dax 620 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 3: Hill has at least shown the ability from the safety 621 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 3: position the corner position. 622 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 5: To tackle. 623 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 3: And I don't know if Dax Hill is a finished 624 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 3: product yet, Austin, but what I can say about Dax 625 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: Hill is I think he's at least one of those 626 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: guys that you can circle to run it back with 627 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 3: next year. And I know there's not a ton of 628 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 3: those guys on defense, but I do think he's one 629 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 3: of them. Yeah, I agree, what's up John? 630 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 11: Happy Thanksgiving tellers, you too? 631 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 7: All right? 632 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 12: Tom? 633 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 13: Bringing up memories there Again. I've been in Boston my 634 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 13: whole life, but in nineteen seventy nine, I was the 635 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 13: biggest Archschleister fan, So not always the best taste in quarterbacks, 636 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 13: to be honest with you, But you know, I thought 637 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 13: he was fantastic as a player. But off the field 638 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 13: he obviously had to say the least. But I thought 639 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 13: he was going to be a fantastic player. Didn't work 640 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 13: out that way. Looking back at Joe Borrow's press conference yesterday, 641 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 13: the two things that stuck out. First of all, when 642 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 13: he talked about that he's a football player. He's get 643 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 13: paid a lot of money to play a game with 644 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 13: his friends and that's what he wants to do and 645 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 13: I think that's so refreshing. And the other part of 646 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 13: it when he dumped on the Detroit Lions a little bit, 647 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 13: saying that, you know, memories of the staff had threw 648 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 13: him for three four hundred yards to Calvin Johnson, probably 649 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 13: in a loss. 650 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 11: I thought that was. 651 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 7: Actually pretty cool. 652 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 13: But as far as going forward with him, and I 653 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 13: talked to Austin yesterday, if he were not to play 654 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 13: for the rest of this season, he would have played 655 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 13: five and a half quarters over a twenty month period. 656 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 13: That's not good, Tony. I think you could speak to 657 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 13: that more than anyone. Right, If you played five and 658 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 13: a half quarters in a twenty month period, that's not 659 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 13: good to get better as a quarterback because all he 660 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 13: ever talks about is reps and getting better and reps 661 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 13: and getting better. So I think getting him out there 662 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 13: is going to be a good thing. 663 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 5: Yeah. 664 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 3: Look, I thought Joe Burrow handled everything that he was asked. 665 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 5: Yes today awesome. 666 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 14: You know. 667 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 3: I think the reasoning he gave about getting back, he's 668 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 3: a football player, and that's what he's going to do. 669 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 3: If he's able to play, if he feels like he's healthy, 670 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 3: he's going to go out there and play. And I 671 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 3: think noting like I'm not going to live my life 672 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 3: being scared that something may happen. I just think that 673 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 3: from him. I think that's the ultimate reason he worked 674 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 3: his tail off to get back. He's a competitor. I 675 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: think there's a point to this where this team is 676 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 3: lacking leadership and he's saying, hey, look at me, I 677 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 3: am the leader. I'm putting it out there for the team. 678 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 3: I think all that being said, again, I've been so 679 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 3: back and forth on what I want to see or 680 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 3: not see from Joe Burrow, but I can't agree that 681 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 3: as long as this team has a pulse, they have 682 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 3: a chance with Joe Burrow. And if it's important for 683 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, then then I'm going to support what he's 684 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 3: able to do. 685 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, obviously the leadership part of it is 686 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 13: so important from that position. 687 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 7: You look and he's come back. 688 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 13: Two three weeks earlier than expected. Could we even find 689 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 13: out where Trey Henderson is. He's supposed to be a captain. 690 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 13: Jamar Chase is spitting at people. Although I'm a huge 691 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 13: fan of Jamar Chase, I think he was just out 692 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 13: of character. And here's this guy, you know, working his 693 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 13: butt talks off to get back on the field. But 694 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 13: he could probably give you easily said look, my money's guaranteed. 695 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 13: I'm going to come back when I'm fully healthy. And 696 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 13: I'm like that He's putting his reputation and his body 697 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 13: out there, which is. 698 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 5: It would be easier, is why he's that good. 699 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 3: It would be easier for Joe Burrow to say, I'm 700 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 3: just not right. I'll see you in twenty twenty six. 701 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 3: That would be easier. 702 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 6: Right. 703 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 3: It's the harder thing to do to come back and 704 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 3: put yourself out there, but it's the right thing to 705 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 3: do as a leader, and I respect that from Joe. 706 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 13: Burrow without question. And now one more thing. As far 707 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 13: as tomorrow night's game, I'm irrationally confident about the game 708 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 13: tomorrow night. The defense has played better the last two weeks, 709 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 13: not great, but better than it did the previous six 710 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 13: or seven weeks. Baltimore struggled on offense. We know what 711 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 13: Borrow and Chase can do against that Baltimore defense. You've 712 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 13: got a team it's won five in a row but 713 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 13: hasn't been overly impressive in doing so. You've got another 714 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 13: team that's lost eight out of nine that you know 715 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 13: was play some good games in there national stage. I 716 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 13: think it's gonna be as a teaming game, and I 717 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 13: think they pull it out twenty seven to twenty four 718 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 13: and keep their playoff hopes alive. 719 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 5: Guys. 720 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 13: That great Thanksgiving and again, thank you so much for 721 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 13: embracing a guy a thousand miles aw. 722 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 5: Absolutely talk with you guys. Thank you, John, We appreciate it. Thanks. 723 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 14: You know. 724 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 5: My question, and I said this to me on Monday, Austin. 725 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 5: My question is. 726 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,959 Speaker 3: If if tomorrow night, Joe Burrow just doesn't look good, 727 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 3: if he's struggling to move in the pocket, if the 728 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 3: running game can't get anything going, if they lose, or 729 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 3: he takes five or six sacks, are we then at 730 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 3: the point of, all right, he tried things clearly aren't functioning. Well, 731 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 3: let's not run the risk anymore because you'd be another 732 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 3: loss deeper. Would you still start him against Buffalo? Or 733 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 3: are you at the point where you need to see 734 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 3: how it goes tomorrow night before you make it decision 735 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 3: on Buffalo. 736 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 4: I don't think you should expect him to just come 737 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 4: into this game and play like he did. 738 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 3: No, I mean like, I mean like it looks like 739 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 3: he's compromised moving in the pocket, like the tell he's 740 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 3: not able to push, he's not able to he's taking 741 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 3: some sacks normally he probably wouldn't take. It just doesn't 742 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 3: look good. They lose another game. Are you then saying, okay, 743 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 3: the math doesn't math anymore. You were able to come back. 744 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 3: We love that, But but you're sitting back down. 745 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 4: No, I would. I would still give him a chance 746 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 4: to play a little bit. I'm not going to freak out, 747 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 4: all right. Uh, we'll finish up the hour with the 748 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 4: rest of your phone calls.

Hey, I'm thinking in 811 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 12: this game with the Bengals, are we just can we 812 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 12: just is there any possibility we can just run? Chase run, run, 813 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 12: Chase run? It helps So thirty tomorrow. 814 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 3: You know, I think what's going to be the most 815 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 3: interesting if they lose the game, Mike and they don't 816 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 3: run the ball, is what that looks like with with 817 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Chase Brown is coming off five straight games 818 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 3: with over one hundred scrimmage scrimmage yards. If all of 819 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 3: a sudden Burrow comes back and that coincides with Chase 820 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 3: Brown struggling with the offensive line, then I think you 821 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 3: have to really start looking into the scheme and how 822 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 3: you're utilizing the running game with Joe Burrow at quarterback, 823 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: I do think that can be a talking point. 824 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 12: So then at that point Joe would be calling the plays, 825 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 12: not not that. 826 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 3: That or what Joe is comfortable or able to do. 827 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 3: If there's any limitations I think would come into play 828 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:54,919 Speaker 3: as well. 829 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 6: Now is uh is uh? 830 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 15: Well? 831 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 12: The thing with Joe with his speech yesterday, it was 832 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 12: press comfort. I really picked up a even more admiration 833 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 12: for the little part he uh the way he said 834 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 12: what he said that hair's got to go. But the 835 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 12: win the way he said what he said was very admirable. 836 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,760 Speaker 12: And yes, I heard guys in Vietnam that that would 837 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 12: just uh used to blow my mind. They would want 838 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 12: to go back out to the bush, and sometimes they'd 839 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 12: let him go, but sometimes they'd say, no, no, you 840 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 12: ain't going. Mentally for some reason you're not going, or 841 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 12: physically you're not going. But but that that's what I 842 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 12: was reminded me of that, So I picked up a 843 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,240 Speaker 12: ton of respect for Joe. He's got a lot of courage. 844 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 5: Yep, without a doubt, it would be easier to just 845 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 5: sit out the rest of the year. 846 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 12: Now as far as one in a round, Toney, would 847 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 12: you as a quarterback, would you think he'd be safe 848 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,959 Speaker 12: to do planned roll outs? 849 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 3: I would not, I would think so. I think that 850 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 3: that would be at least half of the threshold of 851 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 3: being able to come back is to show that you 852 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 3: can be successful on the move. If not, you'd just 853 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 3: be a sitting duck back there. Without t Higgins, they're 854 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: going to be able to cover a little bit longer. 855 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 3: I just think that you would be opening up the 856 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 3: door for some unwarranted shots if you're not able to. 857 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 12: Do that, okay? And is Lamar playing for sure? 858 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, damn it, yep, yep. 859 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 12: All right, guys, you have a blessed holiday. 860 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 5: Thank you, Mike.

I was talking about like on top 891 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 11: of the plate, you know it was it was, you know, 892 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 11: cherry on top of the cake, but instead of cherry 893 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 11: on top of the cake, I changed it to for Burrow, 894 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 11: that's the whipped cream on top of the chocolate peak 895 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 11: on pie with the black raspberry chip on the side, 896 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 11: which is when I think Thanksgiving, I go right there. 897 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 17: Wow. 898 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 3: Okay, so you go, you think of Thanksgiving, you go 899 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 3: right to Thanksgiving dessert. 900 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 11: This chocolate peak on pie that my cousins make is 901 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 11: my favorite thing. It's my favorite thing. 902 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 4: We got it before we continue. We just had to 903 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 4: fight a moment ago, Charlie about stuffing. Are you a 904 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 4: yes or no on stuffing? 905 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 11: I love stuffing. I am stunned every year that it's. 906 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 4: Not on the menu consistently settled, Tony, you lose again, Tony? 907 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 5: All right, Charlie. 908 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 3: The Bengals hope to not lose tomorrow night. How's that 909 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 3: for a transition? Joe Burrow is back, Jamar Chase is back. 910 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 3: There has been in recent seasons the issue with slow 911 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 3: starts for Joe Burrow. Now he has had an extended 912 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 3: amount of time off with the injury. Do you feel 913 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 3: like there are going to be some growing pains tomorrow night? 914 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,279 Speaker 3: Or does he pick up kind of mid season form? 915 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 3: How do you expect just him to handle not playing 916 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 3: for a while. 917 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 11: It's something I've ant a lot about, but something I 918 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 11: think is gonna happen. What it reminds me of is 919 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 11: like in twenty twenty two, he missed all of camp 920 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 11: with the appendectomy. He got about a week and a 921 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 11: half of practice and then he faced the Steelers and 922 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 11: he threw four picks. In twenty twenty three, he missed 923 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 11: all a camp with the calf shows up week one 924 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 11: in the rains. Now he couldn't move, but he didn't 925 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 11: look anywhere near himself, And I guess we'll see what 926 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 11: his mobility looks like Thursday night as well. Now it's 927 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,800 Speaker 11: been on my mind now as Zach Taylor, Dan Pitcher, 928 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 11: and Joe Burrow, all three of them completely disagreed with that. 929 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 11: They feel like the carryover from preseason, from training camp 930 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 11: and from week one to two. 931 00:47:58,840 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 12: Hasn't worn off. 932 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 11: They're almost talking about it like Burrow's missed two weeks 933 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,720 Speaker 11: and if he's missed two weeks or wouldn't be russed. 934 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 11: You know, obviously it's over two months. But how they've 935 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 11: spoken about it is, as we say in baseball, the 936 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 11: type of injury where you don't need a rehab assignment 937 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 11: before you come back. But I guess we'll see because 938 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 11: it's a really realistic concern that'll have to play. 939 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 5: Around, Charlie. 940 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 3: They have had success running the ball as of late, 941 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,879 Speaker 3: Chase Brown's gone five games over the one hundred yard 942 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 3: mark in total yards. Is there any concern that the 943 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 3: return of Joe Burrow can deter that or can they 944 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 3: continue to build on this success in the ground game. 945 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 11: I know, I just expressed the negativity there, but I 946 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 11: really am feeling pretty solid about the state of the offense. 947 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 11: It's still Joe Burrow we're talking about. I don't expect 948 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 11: him to be running all over the lot, but the 949 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 11: threat of Burrow's mobility compared to Flacco's does change the mask, 950 00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 11: does open up opportunities, does give you more chances, more flexibility, 951 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 11: more creativity. And then just as a whole, the offensive 952 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 11: line in the run scheme have really really progressed and improved. 953 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 11: Scam Pitcher yesterday called it the biggest difference between the 954 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 11: Week two Bengals, the last MEMBERO played in the Bengals 955 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 11: team they have right now. So I feel very strong 956 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 11: about the state of the run game. About Chase Brown, 957 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 11: under stock, undershotgun, under center, it doesn't really matter. I 958 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 11: think I think they're gonna keep running the ball up. 959 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 4: You mentioned I think last Friday when when you were 960 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,319 Speaker 4: on with Tony that you think that that's one of 961 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 4: the more overblown narratives around this season, the under center thing. 962 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 4: Can you kind of explain why you feel that way? 963 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 11: It just all depends on who you're playing. What if 964 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 11: you're playing a team with superstar dynamic, what if you're 965 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 11: facing Kyle Hamilton at safety and you know, we'll see 966 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,479 Speaker 11: how they use them tomorrow. He's a bit banged up too. 967 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 11: And every time you go under center, they have a 968 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 11: rule where Kyle Hamilton's gonna blitz and you have slow 969 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 11: guards who can't pick up blitzers from ranges they're not expecting. 970 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 11: So in that matchup, then every time you line up 971 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 11: under center, you're inviting a negative situation for your past protection. 972 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 11: Like there are a million different examples like that of 973 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 11: how the chess match unfold. Now there are opportunities and 974 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 11: examples where under center perfectly leans into your hands and 975 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 11: leads into your advantages. And the history really does show 976 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 11: when the Bengals a demonstrated with a capital the advantage 977 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,359 Speaker 11: and going under under center. They've done that, They've had 978 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 11: success with that, They've come up with big plays from that, 979 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 11: both with a run game and with the play action game. 980 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 11: It's funny too, like you know, the line teams are 981 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,680 Speaker 11: a revolving door of the ping pong tables in to 982 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 11: light in the mood and ping pong tables out because 983 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 11: they're getting serious. I feel like football is a sport 984 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 11: where it's you know, you're either going under center more 985 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 11: because you feel like you need to establish the run 986 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 11: and get more answers. But then the other end of 987 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 11: that cycle is going back to shotgun because your offense 988 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 11: got too stagnant. So it's not like there's one sales 989 00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 11: safe way and the Bengals of shown will. 990 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 3: Do things different the one difference tomorrow night, and it's 991 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 3: not like they've operated without one of these guys before. 992 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 3: It would be nice when Joe Burrow was back to 993 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 3: have his full complement of weapons. They won't have T Higgins. 994 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 3: We know Jamar Chase and his history against the Baltimore Ravens. 995 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,240 Speaker 3: How much will it impact this offense and the Ravens' 996 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 3: ability to game plan the Bengals when you don't have 997 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 3: T Higgins out there. 998 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 11: What you really felt last week against the Patriots when 999 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 11: Jamar was out was the lack of Yack verticality that 1000 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 11: year with the ball in your hands is separating down 1001 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 11: the field. That obviously Jamar brings to the table and 1002 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,879 Speaker 11: the Ravens have never I know, they had some good 1003 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 11: games against him in twenty twenty two, but the Ravens 1004 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,919 Speaker 11: have never really had a clear answer to stop Jamar Chase. 1005 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 11: They'll still sell out to stop Jamar. I expect that 1006 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,760 Speaker 11: to be their plan. The Bengals had their own counters 1007 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 11: to that. Last season. They featured Jamar a lot out 1008 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,959 Speaker 11: of the slot, a lot on screens. But it's also 1009 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 11: going to be one of those games where, and I 1010 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 11: believe the I want to say the Jets games. What 1011 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 11: was this game where Dan Pitcher said to the offense 1012 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 11: the night before, like, we're gonna need some people not 1013 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 11: named Jamar and t to make plays this week because 1014 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 11: of what we're expecting. I think tomorrow will be another 1015 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 11: game like that where they have to find some sort 1016 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 11: of at least the threat of an explosive element, whether 1017 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 11: that's from Yasicki or Mitch Tinsley or Kenner Hudson or 1018 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 11: Charlie Jones or Yoshavas or wherever that comes from. They 1019 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 11: do need at least one more threat to keep them honest. 1020 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 11: But on the whole, they're gonna run this game through Jamar. 1021 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 3: Chase on the defensive side of the ball. Charlie, are 1022 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 3: there things you can take from the previous matchup and say, Okay, 1023 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 3: the defense has taken a step in the right direction. 1024 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 3: I thought Al Golden, I thought he let it fly 1025 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 3: a little bit more. I thought he changed up the 1026 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 3: looks and you saw some success against New England. Did 1027 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 3: you see things against the Patriots the youth you think 1028 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 3: are sustainable and things they can build on to continue 1029 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 3: to get better as a defense what I liked. 1030 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 11: And they did this early in the year as well 1031 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 11: on third downs, and then for whatever reason, they went 1032 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 11: away from it a bit. Then they brought it back, 1033 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 11: that creativity from a third down defense perspective, Like I've 1034 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 11: got my notes right here. There was a play where 1035 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 11: they blitzed dack Hill and DJ Ivy and had Chills 1036 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,760 Speaker 11: side takeaway a guy quickly. They had Chris Jenkins dropping 1037 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 11: back and covered once. They had one third down where 1038 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 11: they played it pretty or excuse me. They had one 1039 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 11: third down where they had three defensive linemen and three 1040 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 11: super high safeties like a prevent defense, and then the 1041 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 11: very next third down they go all in cover zero, 1042 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 11: catch straight man of blitz nearly get to pick six 1043 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 11: to DJ Tournament would have won that game in the 1044 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 11: final few minutes from Cincinnati. So being able to lean 1045 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 11: into more of that is the next step for this defense. 1046 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 11: A stematic creativity that they felt like they couldn't do. 1047 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,360 Speaker 11: The biggest thing they did last week was they tackled, 1048 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 11: like finally, and so much of why they had been 1049 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 11: so bad just came down to that. Now, I'm still 1050 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 11: very worried about these rookie linebackers, and I'm very very 1051 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 11: worried about these line We're worried about these rookie linebackers 1052 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 11: against the Ravens team that'll do the thing that the 1053 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 11: Bengals defense has struggled with the most recently, which is 1054 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 11: shotgun two tight end sets that plays into the Ravens 1055 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 11: hands pretty well. But if they tackle and they have 1056 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 11: some ideas, they have a chance. 1057 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,439 Speaker 4: Do you think that Al Golden maybe unlocked a new 1058 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 4: role for Geno Stone, saw him up at the line 1059 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 4: of scrimmage a little bit more, saw him blitz a 1060 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 4: little bit, and overall looked like an entirely different player 1061 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 4: than the guy we saw the previous week against Pittsburgh. 1062 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 4: What do you make to turnaround last week at Genostone? 1063 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 6: I think the. 1064 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,399 Speaker 11: Way he tackled early in the game, like he saw 1065 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 11: a ball go through the basket almost and you saw 1066 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 11: that gear start to turn for him, playing with confidence 1067 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 11: and playing with momentum, which he hasn't been able to 1068 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 11: do nearly enough of in the Bengals uniform. Now, while 1069 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 11: you know, if he tackles better, you know what you'll 1070 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 11: take that, You'll take that baseline safety play. 1071 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 12: Now. 1072 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 11: I don't think Geno Stone as all of a sudden 1073 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 11: overnight turned into this dynamic playmaker who's going to be 1074 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 11: lining up all over the field and changing the map 1075 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,319 Speaker 11: and you know being you know von Bell with all 1076 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 11: the ways he keeps you off guard and all the 1077 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,760 Speaker 11: different ways he has the ability to make last plays. 1078 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 11: I just don't think that's you know, Stone. I think 1079 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 11: it's more likely that he just had the best game 1080 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 11: of his Bengals career and it's not going to consistently 1081 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 11: be at that level. But if he can just keep 1082 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,240 Speaker 11: tackling and keep that confidence up, you can work with that. 1083 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:33,360 Speaker 11: That's that's fine. 1084 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 3: Uh Miles Murphy, Charlie, what about him? We've seen him 1085 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 3: getting home, not all the way, but pressures have been up. 1086 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 3: I feel like I've noticed him more on the defensive 1087 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 3: side of the ball. 1088 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:45,879 Speaker 5: Are we seeing. 1089 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 3: A growth now from Miles Murphy as the season rolls on? 1090 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 11: Honestly, I have the bar set higher for Miles. He's 1091 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 11: been playing some of the best games of his career. 1092 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 11: He showed up against a run. He has just a 1093 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 11: better bend, rip it off the edge that you've seen 1094 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 11: a few times really show up. But he's still not 1095 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,799 Speaker 11: finishing it off, and he's still not killing drives. He 1096 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,959 Speaker 11: has the ability and the traits to do those, that's 1097 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 11: the next step. One other thing I've been very impressed 1098 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,440 Speaker 11: with is his hustle. I think it's very notable that 1099 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 11: Al Golden's kind of money quote on Mauth the other 1100 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 11: day was he just has a different look in his 1101 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 11: eye and he's carrying himself with a little more of 1102 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 11: what you want to see from your theoretical standout defensive end. 1103 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 11: But for me, the bar is at that position for 1104 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 11: a guy with that pick is kill drives. And while 1105 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 11: he's done that once or twice or a couple of times, 1106 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 11: he still hasn't been doing that even though or really regularly, 1107 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 11: even though these have been some of the best games 1108 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 11: for his career. So you know, it's a quarterback who 1109 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 11: he's shown he can chase down and Lamar Jackson his 1110 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 11: speed really needs to be a big difference maker this week. 1111 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 3: Charlie Howe Overall offense, Defense, special teams. What's the path 1112 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 3: tomorrow night? To find a way to beat the Ravens 1113 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 3: and to essentially keep the season alive. 1114 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 11: You just have to find one way to create a turnover, 1115 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 11: whether that's you know, Geno Stone, maybe doing some more 1116 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,240 Speaker 11: of the things we're talking about, combined with a wrinkle 1117 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 11: where maybe you can beat the Ravens on a specific play. 1118 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 11: I'm okay with maybe even being a bit more volatile 1119 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:25,200 Speaker 11: over aggressive, leaving yourself susceptible with a play call, not 1120 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 11: with you your tackling or anything like that, but susceptible 1121 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 11: with a play call to getting beat deep if it 1122 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 11: gives you a better shot for that type of turnover, 1123 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 11: because I still don't see how this defense gets stops 1124 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 11: on a down to down basis, and then the offense 1125 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 11: just needs to stay a fishing avoid negative plays, keep 1126 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 11: burrowing situations where he's comfortable, keep burrowing situations where he 1127 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 11: doesn't have to feel like he's a hero. And if 1128 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 11: he has that, even though it's his first game back, 1129 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 11: he'll have the answers, he'll have the momentum, he'll have 1130 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 11: the ability to more than keep you in this game, 1131 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 11: to lead you to a win. Possibly in this game 1132 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 11: with a turnover and some help around him on the 1133 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 11: other side. 1134 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 3: Also Charlie happening this weekend. They call it the game. 1135 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 3: It's Ohio State and Michigan, And you know, earlier in 1136 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 3: the week, Austin kind of just downplayed it, as you know, 1137 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter as much as it did. And 1138 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 3: here we are later in the week. It's starting to 1139 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 3: become real again for Austin. What do you make of 1140 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 3: this rendition of the game and does Ohio State break 1141 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 3: this streak? 1142 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 11: I wonder if this is finally the year where the 1143 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 11: playmaking on their defense fully imposes their wealth, their will 1144 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 11: fully takes over the game. This to me is a 1145 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 11: big Matt Patricia game with what he can do to 1146 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 11: maximize on that and set the tone that way, with 1147 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 11: the scheme, with the play calling, with the aggression they have, 1148 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 11: with the unbelievable talent they have on that defense, and 1149 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 11: the Michigan guys they're counting on, I believe, some pretty 1150 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 11: young guys. But hey, you know, Michigan. You know you 1151 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 11: don't need me to tell you that Michigan has been 1152 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 11: pretty good in a still. 1153 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 4: Healthy If you're Duke Tobin, rvel Reese, Caden McDonald or 1154 00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 4: Caleb downs. 1155 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 11: Oh, I'm not there yet. 1156 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 5: I'm not yet, Charlie. 1157 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 3: I respect that that you've not turned the page yet. 1158 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 11: I'm not there yet. 1159 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 3: You're living in the present, Charlie. He's not there yet. 1160 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 3: He says, you're living in the present, and I appreciate that. 1161 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, you only do what you can do. 1162 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 5: You know, it makes a lot of sense. What's it 1163 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 5: looked like? What? What's your what's your Thanksgiving weekend look like? 1164 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 7: Here? 1165 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 5: Charlie? What are you gonna be doing? 1166 00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 11: What am I going to be doing?

Austin, let's just 1558 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 3: let's go to yesterday and hearing from Joe Burrow and 1559 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase. I know we kind of talked about, you know, 1560 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 3: the overall gist of what Joe Burrow had to say, 1561 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,960 Speaker 3: and you know, I give him credit because I do. 1562 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 3: I think it just showed the leadership that Joe Burrow 1563 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,879 Speaker 3: operates with and it's something that I can certainly respect 1564 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,120 Speaker 3: of understanding kind of what goes into that rehab process 1565 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 3: and getting back to full health and being there for 1566 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 3: your team when I do think it would have been 1567 01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 3: easier to just kind of say, hey, well, we'll see 1568 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,920 Speaker 3: you next year. I think that from Joe Burrow is 1569 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 3: is awesome. Anything else that he said Austin that stood 1570 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 3: out to you from yesterday when he spoke to the media, Yeah, 1571 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 3: there was. 1572 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 4: A couple of things that I found interesting. I know 1573 01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 4: mo I talked to him yesterday and I asked, I 1574 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 4: asked him, like, what does he want to hear from 1575 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow? Sure, and he said he wanted to hear 1576 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,720 Speaker 4: that he was one hundred percent. Well, this was an 1577 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 4: exchange between Jay Morrison and Joe Burrow. 1578 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 5: I assume it's fair to say that it was not 1579 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 5: one hundred percent. Where would you put it right now? 1580 01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 41: It's tough to say I feel confident that I can 1581 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:40,560 Speaker 41: go out and do everything that I need to do 1582 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:41,559 Speaker 41: to win a game. 1583 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:48,240 Speaker 4: Doesn't necessarily say that it's one hundred percent, right, doesn't 1584 01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,640 Speaker 4: really put an estimation on it. That gives me a 1585 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 4: little bit of pause. However, Joe did try to explain 1586 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 4: why he didn't end up playing against the Patriots. 1587 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 41: I was feeling good and Wednesday, Thursday, practice happened. I 1588 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 41: took a lot of reps. My body was pre sore, 1589 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 41: not necessarily my toe. My toe feels great, but just 1590 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 41: the rest of my body being back. 1591 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 7: Out there for so long. 1592 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,600 Speaker 41: And uh, I was confident that I could get that 1593 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:22,360 Speaker 41: right in order to play on Sunday. But Zach ended 1594 01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 41: up thinking that Thursday was it was better to wait 1595 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:26,599 Speaker 41: the extra four days. 1596 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:27,799 Speaker 7: And I think that was a good decision. 1597 01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 4: Okay, so says no soreness in the toe, says the 1598 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:35,839 Speaker 4: toe feels great, but didn't say that it's one hundred percent. 1599 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 5: So that I found to be interesting. 1600 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the idea of you know, wasn't 1601 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 3: one hundred percent, didn't feel great after a couple of days, 1602 01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 3: but was okay to do it. And I think it's 1603 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 3: something to be said that Zach kind of came and said, okay, 1604 01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 3: let's let's push back then. 1605 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he did say that, you know, it was 1606 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,920 Speaker 4: ultimately Zach's decision, and you know, the medical people talk, 1607 01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 4: Joe talk, everybody talked together, and it was on Zach 1608 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 4: to decide what he wants to do. And I think 1609 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 4: it's fair if you know, Joe is obviously admitting after 1610 01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:08,160 Speaker 4: two or three days of practice, I was pretty sore. 1611 01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:09,439 Speaker 5: My body was pretty sore. 1612 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:12,800 Speaker 4: So imagine how sore he would be after playing a 1613 01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,599 Speaker 4: game against the Patriots and then having to turn around 1614 01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 4: and play a Thursday night game. 1615 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1616 01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,200 Speaker 4: So I understand where Zach's coming from with that. And 1617 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 4: you know, I think one of the parts we haven't 1618 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,160 Speaker 4: maybe talked about that much is these Thursday night games 1619 01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 4: are tough, especially when you travel, especially when you're you know, 1620 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 4: on the road in the AFC North. Joe's going to 1621 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,680 Speaker 4: be fresh, Jamar is going to be fresh. That's at 1622 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 4: least a good thing. 1623 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, without a doubt, anything from Jamar Chase that stood out. 1624 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,960 Speaker 4: I watched that whole thing, and that was a guy 1625 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:45,880 Speaker 4: who had no interest in talking to anybody. 1626 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, like I and I was remember we asked a 1627 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 3: question like does what happened? Does that influence his relationship 1628 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:54,479 Speaker 3: with the media? 1629 01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 4: Like, well, I think I'll be honest, Yesterday I watched 1630 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 4: that and it was just question after question after question 1631 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:09,679 Speaker 4: about it, and I thought to myself, dear God, don't 1632 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 4: they understand he's not going to give you anything to 1633 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 4: My perception of Jamar is that he doesn't regret it. 1634 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,320 Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey crossed the line, so Jamar crossed it back. 1635 01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,040 Speaker 4: It sucks that he had to miss a game, but 1636 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 4: he doesn't feel bad about it, and he hates that 1637 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,639 Speaker 4: it's now been blown all out of proportion and everybody 1638 01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,160 Speaker 4: says all these terrible things about him when who knows 1639 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,680 Speaker 4: what was said or done by Jalen Ramsey to spur it, 1640 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 4: and Jamar just kind of has to sit there and 1641 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,599 Speaker 4: take it, and he's dealing with it. And the questions 1642 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,120 Speaker 4: yesterday I thought were just like give it a break, 1643 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 4: And now that was just my perception of it. And 1644 01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,120 Speaker 4: I think maybe he'll get back to his old self eventually. 1645 01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,759 Speaker 4: But you lose another game, you miss out on it? Yeah, stuff? 1646 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:00,120 Speaker 6: Did it? 1647 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:05,640 Speaker 3: Certainly something to watch do? And this was yesterday and 1648 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,479 Speaker 3: I know you guys obviously took advantage of it. Well, 1649 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 3: was there an issue that he didn't specifically mentioned Jalen 1650 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:13,680 Speaker 3: Ramsey and his apology for you? 1651 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 4: So I don't know either. I think that I know 1652 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 4: a lot of people made it a big deal, but 1653 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,439 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think that's a statement. I 1654 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 4: think that says, yeah, I'm sorry that I did something 1655 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,759 Speaker 4: that hurt my team.

Georgia Georgia Tech lost 1688 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,160 Speaker 3: a little bit of its thunder, I think because Georgia 1689 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,680 Speaker 3: Tech lost last week to Pittsburgh. But that's still a 1690 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,960 Speaker 3: top twenty five matchup.

That's all I know about Texas A 1702 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 5: and in all right, a. 1703 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,080 Speaker 3: Top twenty five Big Twelve battle finishes off the day 1704 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 3: on Friday night, Arizona and Arizona State.

Kentucky's got to win to they need a 1706 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:25,680 Speaker 3: win for Bowl eligibility. 1707 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:27,599 Speaker 5: I don't trust either one of those teams. 1708 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk Bearcats with Keegan Nickoson. By the way, 1709 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:37,360 Speaker 3: it is worth noting that right now in the College 1710 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 3: Football Playoff rankings, you do have three Big Twelve teams 1711 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 3: in the top thirteen. Utah comes in at thirteen, Texas 1712 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 3: Tech is number five, b YU still at number eleven. 1713 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 7: Why is that? 1714 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 5: Why are they still at number eleven? 1715 01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:52,560 Speaker 17: No? 1716 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,080 Speaker 5: Why is it? Why does that matter? 1717 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 17: Well? 1718 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:56,600 Speaker 5: I'm just thinking of the College Football Playoff? Can the 1719 01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,559 Speaker 5: Big twelve get two teams in it? Okay? 1720 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 25: Like that? 1721 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:04,680 Speaker 3: Like if BYU goes to the College Football if they 1722 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 3: go to the Big twelve title and they beat Texas Tech. 1723 01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:09,800 Speaker 3: And Texas Tech right now is number five and they're 1724 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 3: not going to lose to West Virginia. Do you keep 1725 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:12,959 Speaker 3: Texas Tech in the top twelve. 1726 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:16,000 Speaker 5: You would hope if they're one of the twelve best teams. 1727 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:16,840 Speaker 5: I think so as well. 1728 01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 4: We got that Dobe rule. We're gonna put like two 1729 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 4: lane or somebody in two lane. Stupid two lane.

It's it's turkey, it's rolls, it's 1753 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,120 Speaker 7: mashed potatoes and greening cast role, and then you put 1754 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:44,240 Speaker 7: a heaping coating of gravy on the entire plate. 1755 01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 5: That's that's nice. 1756 01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:46,280 Speaker 6: We'll go to Uh. 1757 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 5: That is music to my ears. Chiegan. 1758 01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 3: Let's start with tonight at fifth Stird Arena, Eastern Michigan 1759 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 3: rolls into town. 1760 01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 29: Uh. 1761 01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:58,400 Speaker 3: After what we were able to see against the New 1762 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 3: Jersey Institute of Technology, what are you looking more forward 1763 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 3: to most in tonight's basketball game? What do you want 1764 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 3: to see from the Bearcats? 1765 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing would be Shanabias continuing to 1766 01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,759 Speaker 7: be in an alpha on offense. He's already on alpha 1767 01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 7: and he was through the first five games, but you're 1768 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,440 Speaker 7: starting to see it more with Baba Miller. 1769 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,000 Speaker 9: Missing he's kind of taken that initiative and. 1770 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 7: Being able to take over on the court. And he 1771 01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,680 Speaker 7: was also playing good on the defensive side of the ball, 1772 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 7: and he was rebounding and playing tight defense. So he's 1773 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 7: one of the big bigger things. What they do with 1774 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 7: Baba Miller is another big thing. I wouldn't expect him 1775 01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 7: to play. I haven't really heard any updates from the situation. 1776 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 7: Coach West said that he didn't practice Saturday or Sunday 1777 01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 7: before Monday's game, and I really I wouldn't expect him. 1778 01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 9: To play because the best case scenario is. 1779 01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,720 Speaker 7: That he practiced yesterday for the first time and then 1780 01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:56,439 Speaker 7: would play today. So especially with Xavier on the horizon, 1781 01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:58,600 Speaker 7: you want to make sure he's healthy for that. And 1782 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 7: then another thing is Jordi Rudaz. It's kind of a 1783 01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:05,439 Speaker 7: weird situation. He didn't play for two games. It didn't 1784 01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,320 Speaker 7: seem that there was an injury. It was kind of 1785 01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 7: just a benching, like maybe Easton needs to adjust to 1786 01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:15,320 Speaker 7: this level of play. And he played very very well 1787 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 7: on Monday on both sides of the wall. He played aggressively, 1788 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 7: he was going after loose balls, was passing the ball well, 1789 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,320 Speaker 7: handling the ball well and he made shots. So kind 1790 01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 7: of seeing him continue to develop and gain some trust 1791 01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:30,120 Speaker 7: from coach Miller so he can put him in the 1792 01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 7: rotation consistently. Stacking two, three, maybe even four games is 1793 01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 7: a great way to do that. 1794 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:40,559 Speaker 3: It is a matchup tonight, they played Tarlton State on Monday, 1795 01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,879 Speaker 3: and then after that it is the Crossdown Shootout next Friday, 1796 01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 3: so two more opportunities for the Bearcats before taking on 1797 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 3: the Xavier Musketeers the Georgia Bulldogs. Clemson comes up on 1798 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:56,360 Speaker 3: that schedule, so a crucial, crucial couple games for the Bearcats. 1799 01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,760 Speaker 3: I also think Keegan a massive one on Saturday for 1800 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,200 Speaker 3: the football program. Losers now have three games in a row. 1801 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,599 Speaker 3: If it could have went wrong, it went wrong against BYU, 1802 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 3: the definition of a team beating themselves. How important does 1803 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 3: Saturday become for Scott Saderfield in the football program. 1804 01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1805 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 7: I coming into the year, my floor for the team 1806 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:21,880 Speaker 7: was seven and five, but I didn't think that they 1807 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:26,120 Speaker 7: would finish any worse than seven and five. And now 1808 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 7: you put yourself in a situation where you could very 1809 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,560 Speaker 7: easily only have two losses right now, and then you 1810 01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:34,880 Speaker 7: just fumbled. 1811 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,600 Speaker 9: Two games in a row. Against Arizona and BYU. 1812 01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,720 Speaker 7: That you could have very easily won had you just 1813 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,679 Speaker 7: played up to your standard, not even above your standard, 1814 01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 7: not like excellent games. But if you just played up 1815 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:48,080 Speaker 7: to your standard, do you win those games and you're 1816 01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 7: in the driver's seat for a big co championship game birth. 1817 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 7: So I think that TCU is definitely a must win 1818 01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,320 Speaker 7: because if they are to finish seven and five, you're 1819 01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,880 Speaker 7: gonna hear You're going to see those pitchforks out from 1820 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 7: the fan base, just like it was after the first 1821 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 7: two years, because you know, everything was made about how 1822 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:14,800 Speaker 7: much better this roster is, and it is a lot 1823 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 7: better than the last two years, but you've kind of 1824 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:23,680 Speaker 7: seen a disappointing result and again where you're playing below expectations. 1825 01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,360 Speaker 7: And one of my big things that I'm kind of 1826 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:30,000 Speaker 7: thinking about is how much better of a roster can 1827 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 7: you get next year? Like when you look at this team, 1828 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,759 Speaker 7: You've got Dante Croleo, and you've got Joe Royer, Cyrus 1829 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:37,680 Speaker 7: Allen leads. 1830 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 9: The conference and touchdowns, he's had. 1831 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,720 Speaker 7: A great season. He got Brennan Storthree, You've got your 1832 01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,280 Speaker 7: the best offensive line you've had in a long time. 1833 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,639 Speaker 7: I don't know how many additions they can make out 1834 01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,080 Speaker 7: of a transfer portal. I don't know what freshmen or 1835 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,479 Speaker 7: red shirt freshmen that they're expecting to make a huge 1836 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,479 Speaker 7: leap where this team is going to be so much 1837 01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:58,400 Speaker 7: better to where you can expect them to go ten 1838 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:00,640 Speaker 7: and two or nine to three and get into a 1839 01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 7: big twelve championship game. So that's one of the biggest concerns. 1840 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,600 Speaker 7: But I also know that this fair personnel department is 1841 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,599 Speaker 7: going to work their butt off and try to get 1842 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,160 Speaker 7: a bunch of guys on campus that they think can 1843 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 7: help the team. And you've seen the steps forward, even 1844 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 7: though the steps from year two to three, if they 1845 01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:23,160 Speaker 7: were to finish seven to five, is definitely kind of underwhelming, 1846 01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:24,519 Speaker 7: especially to the fan base. 1847 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 3: You know, I haven't been able to figure it out 1848 01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 3: for two years, so I'm not going to try to now. 1849 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,719 Speaker 3: I don't understand the lack of usage for Joe Royer. 1850 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:37,280 Speaker 3: Outside of that in this losing streak, they've also just 1851 01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:39,920 Speaker 3: not gotten the quarterback play that they did during the 1852 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 3: seven game winning streak outside of just the opponents being better. 1853 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,880 Speaker 3: Is there anything you've noticed from Brendan Swarsby that would 1854 01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 3: lead you to have some concern going into the finale. 1855 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 35: Not really. 1856 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,800 Speaker 7: I think you're still seeing those throws that show that 1857 01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 7: he is a high level passer, like the throws that 1858 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,960 Speaker 7: take way more into dissipation. 1859 01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,400 Speaker 9: Than most, way more confidence than most. 1860 01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,519 Speaker 7: But then like when they're playing against man and when 1861 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,280 Speaker 7: they're getting blitzed, you see where he tries to press 1862 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,680 Speaker 7: and tries to force the issue and it doesn't work out. 1863 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 7: He said, two arm punts. In the last two weeks, 1864 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:23,040 Speaker 7: he's had some basically throwaways and just had some bad decisions, like, 1865 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:27,160 Speaker 7: for example, that your kickers missed three straight field goals 1866 01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:31,200 Speaker 7: from the left hash, and then on like third and thirteen, 1867 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,040 Speaker 7: you just throw a three yard ball to Joe Royer 1868 01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 7: on the left hash. Your kicker comes on and misses 1869 01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,600 Speaker 7: his fourth straight from the left hash. So it's just 1870 01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,479 Speaker 7: like small stuff like that that doesn't really make sense. 1871 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 7: But you know, I still think he's super, super talented, 1872 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,679 Speaker 7: and I'm expecting him to go out and beat TCU 1873 01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,639 Speaker 7: because the defense kind of lines up to the point 1874 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 7: where he should be able to have success. 1875 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 3: You know, Keegan, There's been a lot of conversation in 1876 01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,759 Speaker 3: the last week or so about the three three five defense, 1877 01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 3: and you know, is it a successful scheme for the 1878 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 3: Cincinnati bearcatch or can it be a successful scheme? This 1879 01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,200 Speaker 3: obviously coming off a game where LJ. Martin was able 1880 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:11,920 Speaker 3: to do whatever he wanted on the ground along with 1881 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,000 Speaker 3: anyone who was running the ball from BYU. What is 1882 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 3: your overall feel of the three three five as you 1883 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:21,880 Speaker 3: get in now obviously through year two with Tyson Vite. 1884 01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,760 Speaker 7: My thing about this season is that the defense has 1885 01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 7: put the team in a position to win the game, 1886 01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,080 Speaker 7: and ten out of the eleven games they've played like 1887 01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:36,640 Speaker 7: they were in a position to beat Nebraska, they were 1888 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,439 Speaker 7: in a position to beat Arizona and BYU, and then 1889 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,160 Speaker 7: they just got their book slipped against Utah. Both sides 1890 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,640 Speaker 7: of the ball did like that game was over from 1891 01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 7: the first like ten to fifteen minutes. So I don't 1892 01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:51,760 Speaker 7: really get the thing I think. The thing I think 1893 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 7: it is is just like it's kind of rare to 1894 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,200 Speaker 7: see like Cincinnati Fance aren't used to seeing it, So 1895 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 7: when you lose, you're looking for scapegoat, and. 1896 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,439 Speaker 9: Then that goes to how did the quarterback play? 1897 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,559 Speaker 7: And then if Soorsby plays poorly like he did against 1898 01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:11,120 Speaker 7: Utah and Arizona, everything piles on Soresby, and then Sorsby 1899 01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,960 Speaker 7: played pretty good against Byu had the interception, but he 1900 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,519 Speaker 7: still completed sixty six percent of his passes and three 1901 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,760 Speaker 7: for three hundred yards and a couple of touchdowns. But 1902 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,960 Speaker 7: then you see Byu run all over the place, and 1903 01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:26,639 Speaker 7: it's like you're not playing a four man front. You're 1904 01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,960 Speaker 7: not blitzing a ton. But I still don't think it 1905 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:32,400 Speaker 7: was just because of the three three five that Byu 1906 01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,679 Speaker 7: had success in the ground. When you go and watch 1907 01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:38,840 Speaker 7: the film, the linebackers weren't filling their gaps properly, like 1908 01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:43,000 Speaker 7: at all, and it like Jack Dingle struggled, gold A struggled, 1909 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 7: and all the linebackers struggled, and that's when you get 1910 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:47,799 Speaker 7: those ten. 1911 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:48,919 Speaker 9: Plus fifteen plus. 1912 01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:52,200 Speaker 7: Yard runs because they're just getting through the second level. 1913 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:55,639 Speaker 7: Like the three man front shouldn't stop the linebackers from 1914 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,040 Speaker 7: being able to make tackles, especially when they run up 1915 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,240 Speaker 7: the middle. So and I talk to Anton Peak about it. 1916 01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 7: I asked Dingle about it, and they both were very 1917 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 7: confident in saying, like, look, it's not the scheme's fault. 1918 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,719 Speaker 7: We're not making plays. They're putting us in a position 1919 01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,439 Speaker 7: to make plays. And you know, if you get run 1920 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,960 Speaker 7: all over one game a year and then you end 1921 01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,600 Speaker 7: up losing that game, you're still going to be in 1922 01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 7: a good spot for the rest of the games of 1923 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:21,719 Speaker 7: the season to shut. 1924 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 9: Down the high powered passing offenses. 1925 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 7: That come through in the Big Twelve. And a large 1926 01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:28,200 Speaker 7: part that's been the case, but that the three three 1927 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 7: five did not lose them the Arizona or BYU games. 1928 01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,960 Speaker 7: It was the offense not being able to put anything 1929 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:34,840 Speaker 7: together and. 1930 01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 9: Having self inflicted wins and making crucial mistakes at important 1931 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:38,639 Speaker 9: times in the game. 1932 01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:43,560 Speaker 3: Nick Cardwell has been nominated one of sixty three for 1933 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,679 Speaker 3: the Broyles Award winner for the nation's top assistant coach. 1934 01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:50,160 Speaker 3: When you think about this Bearcat offensive line and you 1935 01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,680 Speaker 3: think about the strides they've taken, how much of an 1936 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:55,960 Speaker 3: imprint has Cardwell have on this university? 1937 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:01,760 Speaker 7: Huge? And he's one of my stats and coaches that 1938 01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:03,400 Speaker 7: I've ever covered, just. 1939 01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:09,240 Speaker 9: Super personable, super super passionate and like he played tight end. 1940 01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,360 Speaker 7: At app State, I think he was actually a walk on, 1941 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,640 Speaker 7: battled a neck injury and was able to play a 1942 01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 7: little bit after the neck injury, and when he I 1943 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,360 Speaker 7: think he was like a QC with the tight ends 1944 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 7: early in his career, and he just saw. 1945 01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,839 Speaker 9: The offensive line coach and the offensive line. 1946 01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,360 Speaker 7: Group and how important they were to the team and 1947 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 7: how they practiced, and he just said then like, look, 1948 01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,960 Speaker 7: I don't want to do anything else but be an 1949 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,720 Speaker 7: offensive line coach, Like that's ultimately what I want to do. 1950 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,560 Speaker 7: And you see that every day in practice when we 1951 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,120 Speaker 7: get to see him in the fall, in the spring, 1952 01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,160 Speaker 7: and when we get to see him once a week, 1953 01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:49,840 Speaker 7: he's super, super passionate. And you understand why they were 1954 01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,719 Speaker 7: able to get a guy like Joe Cotton, who canceled 1955 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:56,040 Speaker 7: a visit to Wisconsin, didn't line up any visits to 1956 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,559 Speaker 7: teams like Alabama or other schools that were really interested 1957 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,639 Speaker 7: in them, because he just saw what coach Cardwolfs could 1958 01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:05,920 Speaker 7: do for him. And that's why you've gotten a group 1959 01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,200 Speaker 7: that has outplayed a group from. 1960 01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 9: Last year that put I think three guys in the NFL. 1961 01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 7: So you're just seeing like what he's building and the 1962 01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:15,960 Speaker 7: guys that he's able to bring in and the potential 1963 01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,960 Speaker 7: that he gets out of them. And the offensive line 1964 01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,720 Speaker 7: has been one of the most consistent groups over all 1965 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,839 Speaker 7: three years, and especially when you see that Brendon Sourzy 1966 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 7: has only been sacked four times this year, so he 1967 01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:27,920 Speaker 7: might be one of. 1968 01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,280 Speaker 9: The most crucial coaches on the entire staff. 1969 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 7: But he's one of my favorite guys and he's super 1970 01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,960 Speaker 7: super important to keep around because if you look at 1971 01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 7: the landscape of college football, people are going to be 1972 01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,800 Speaker 7: looking at him and try to poach him for their teams, 1973 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,760 Speaker 7: especially with all the coaching changes. But I know that 1974 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:48,920 Speaker 7: he's super super loyal to coach Sadderfield, and he's going 1975 01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:50,840 Speaker 7: to be important to keep Keigan. 1976 01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:52,600 Speaker 3: Last year, the team got to five and two and 1977 01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,759 Speaker 3: lost their last five games to finish five and seven. 1978 01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 3: I feel like if you would have told folks after 1979 01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:03,679 Speaker 3: last year, Okay, next year they'll win seven games, people 1980 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,960 Speaker 3: would have said, Okay, that's progression. They're trending in the 1981 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:09,719 Speaker 3: right direction. However, if they finished with just seven wins, 1982 01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:11,719 Speaker 3: as we talked about earlier, that would mean they lost 1983 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:15,280 Speaker 3: their final four games of the regular season. Would you 1984 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:19,160 Speaker 3: classify the season as a failure if they finished the 1985 01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:20,759 Speaker 3: regular season at seven and five. 1986 01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:26,879 Speaker 7: I don't know about failure. I would more. 1987 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 9: Say a disappointment, and I would say that they. 1988 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:38,960 Speaker 7: They played below expectations, Like I don't think the step 1989 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,519 Speaker 7: from seven from five and seven to seven to five 1990 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,519 Speaker 7: is as big from three to nine to five and seven. 1991 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:47,680 Speaker 7: Like I would say the jump from year one to 1992 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:51,320 Speaker 7: year two was bigger than from two to three, especially 1993 01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 7: because of not only the amount of talent that you 1994 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,680 Speaker 7: brought in but the amount of talent that you were 1995 01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,120 Speaker 7: able to retain. It seemed like it was supposed to 1996 01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:02,920 Speaker 7: be the perfect story, and then it's just you're losing 1997 01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 7: games that you're not supposed to lose, especially games at home. 1998 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:09,640 Speaker 7: So I would say it's a disappointment, but not a 1999 01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 7: total failure. I think if it was a total failure, 2000 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,760 Speaker 7: that's more six and six, five and seven, and you're 2001 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,840 Speaker 7: getting to the point where the eighties having a serious 2002 01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,920 Speaker 7: conversation about the future of the football program. But if 2003 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 7: he finishes at seven and five, he's coming back next 2004 01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:25,880 Speaker 7: year and they're going to have an opportunity to build 2005 01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,240 Speaker 7: on it. So yeah, I think it's an underwhelming and 2006 01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 7: disappointing year, but not to the point where it's failure 2007 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,320 Speaker 7: to where the coach should be getting fired. 2008 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,640 Speaker 3: Keig and Nicholson Bearcat Journal dot Com covering the Cincinnati Bearcats. 2009 01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,960 Speaker 3: I have to ask Kegan, I know you know, Black 2010 01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 3: Friday is a big thing at Bearcat Journal dot com. 2011 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:50,800 Speaker 3: Explain why to those that may not be following along 2012 01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:52,800 Speaker 3: and how those can follow along with you. 2013 01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:58,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, seventy five percent off an annual VIP membership at 2014 01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,760 Speaker 7: Bearcat Journal.

Let's start with the 2044 01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:32,920 Speaker 3: long Blue line against Middletown's Right st X Middletown. They 2045 01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:37,400 Speaker 3: travel to Dayton Welcome Stadium, Middletown, getting slept on a 2046 01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 3: little bit. That's you know where Kyle Schwarber went. 2047 01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,400 Speaker 4: Didn't Saint X just play at Welcome Stadium a couple 2048 01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:42,920 Speaker 4: of weeks ago? 2049 01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:45,680 Speaker 5: Did I make that up? Was that a different game 2050 01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:50,160 Speaker 5: and somebody play up there? I think they did. Yeah, 2051 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,559 Speaker 5: So see they're familiar with this familiar with the place. 2052 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,280 Speaker 3: Give me the Bombers, give me the long blue line, 2053 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,960 Speaker 3: give me Daniel Vallmer is going to have another massive game, 2054 01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 3: just as he did against Elder. Gimme Saint Xavier to 2055 01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:04,559 Speaker 3: win the game. 2056 01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:07,439 Speaker 4: I haven't heard a lot of people's really giving Middletown 2057 01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:08,439 Speaker 4: a chance whatsoever. 2058 01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think so. Is there any room for 2059 01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 5: a letdown? Game? 2060 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,719 Speaker 4: Could be after the Uh, you never know, Kyle Schwarber, 2061 01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:18,200 Speaker 4: the pay Court Stadium game with the world watching. 2062 01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 5: Maybe a leftown. No, we'll take say next, all right, 2063 01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 5: the Bombers. 2064 01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:28,160 Speaker 3: How about Anderson versus Sunbury Big Walnut. Yeah, this game 2065 01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,360 Speaker 3: at prestigious Columbus Crew Stadium. 2066 01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:32,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, who do you think? 2067 01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:33,680 Speaker 7: Who do you got? 2068 01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:37,040 Speaker 4: I like Anderson because I think Raptors is a cool name. 2069 01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Raptors is a cool name. Big Walnut's cool too, 2070 01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:46,280 Speaker 3: and their offensive style is cool. At Anderson, I think 2071 01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:49,479 Speaker 3: Anderson's got way too much firepower on the offensive side 2072 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 3: of the ball. Anderson wins, Anderson advances. Indian Hill is 2073 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:58,000 Speaker 3: going to play against Shelby. I'm not sure who or 2074 01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:00,559 Speaker 3: what Shelby is. I know both of the teams come 2075 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:04,960 Speaker 3: into the game unblemished, not a loss on either of 2076 01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,519 Speaker 3: these squads. But here's the deal. This game is being 2077 01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:16,160 Speaker 3: played in Sydney. They're playing this at Sydney. I think 2078 01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:21,559 Speaker 3: that's a disadvantage for Indian Hill. I'll take Shelby, Okay, 2079 01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 3: all right, I don't want to, but something about this 2080 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,400 Speaker 3: game being played at Sydney just makes me go against 2081 01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 3: Indian Hill. 2082 01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:29,479 Speaker 5: And I don't know why. 2083 01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:33,439 Speaker 4: I have in my life never heard of Shelby. I 2084 01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,720 Speaker 4: don't know where it's at. I don't know anything about it. 2085 01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,559 Speaker 4: I didn't know it existed until I saw this matchup. 2086 01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:43,000 Speaker 4: But I know exactly where Indian Hill is. I'll take 2087 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:46,400 Speaker 4: Indian Hill. Wow the Braves, says Austin. Give me the braves, 2088 01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,559 Speaker 4: all right. It feels like now we were told last week. 2089 01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,400 Speaker 4: I was told last week you aren't in that. Well, 2090 01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 4: we don't pick enough Northern Kentucky games on this on 2091 01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 4: the slate. So what I did was I put in 2092 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 4: Northern Kentucky game on here because Beachwood wash Rinz Repeat 2093 01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:08,599 Speaker 4: has another chance to advance, another chance to win another 2094 01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,240 Speaker 4: state title. I don't know much about Beachwood this year. 2095 01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:14,120 Speaker 3: I also don't know much about Owensborough Catholic, but give 2096 01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:16,040 Speaker 3: me the tradition at Beechwood to win this one. 2097 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:16,519 Speaker 5: Yeah. 2098 01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,560 Speaker 4: I also don't know much about those two, but I 2099 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,559 Speaker 4: know Beechwood's always in these conversations late in the year. 2100 01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:25,879 Speaker 4: You mentioned it, tradition. I'll take Beewood. 2101 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:31,240 Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to the college football slate number 2102 01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:34,599 Speaker 3: three Texas A and M at number sixteen Texas.

Does arch Manning have an 2105 01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:45,240 Speaker 3: upset in him? I'm a little surprised by this number, 2106 01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:50,200 Speaker 3: aren't you a little bit? WHOA, I'm surprised enough to 2107 01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:54,280 Speaker 3: make it our cheesy spread of the week. Yo, I'm 2108 01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:59,040 Speaker 3: just not buying Texas.

That's 2113 01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,160 Speaker 4: not easy for Texas A and M. But I'm not 2114 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:10,599 Speaker 4: impressed by arch Manning. 2115 01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:11,519 Speaker 5: I'm really not. 2116 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,120 Speaker 3: So you're saying this is our Winschuler's cheesey spread of 2117 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:16,240 Speaker 3: the week, Yeah, because it should be up about six 2118 01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:17,960 Speaker 3: more points to eight. 2119 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:19,519 Speaker 5: Thanks to our friends at win Schulers. 2120 01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 3: Listen, Is there anything better, Austin if you're like on 2121 01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,680 Speaker 3: the fence and you gotta attend to Thanksgiving?

It can cure yours as well. 2134 01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:56,960 Speaker 3: Can it cure two and a half points? 2135 01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:57,240 Speaker 7: Yes? 2136 01:48:57,320 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 3: I got Texas A and m okay this to me. 2137 01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,439 Speaker 3: I go back to our guy Dan Horde. When a 2138 01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:06,160 Speaker 3: line doesn't make sense, people know more than we know, 2139 01:49:06,800 --> 01:49:11,559 Speaker 3: arch Manning. This has the feel of a Steve Sarkesian special. 2140 01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 3: Give me the Shark and the Texas Longhorns. All right, 2141 01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,160 Speaker 3: Old miss is number seven in the country. They travel 2142 01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:21,760 Speaker 3: to Mississippi State. It's called the egg Bowl. Yeah, and 2143 01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:24,240 Speaker 3: the line's only seven and a half. I know Mississippi 2144 01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 3: State hasn't been great this year. I think a lot 2145 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,839 Speaker 3: of people are worried about all the noise around lane Kiffin. 2146 01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,240 Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin operates in this noise. This is where he's 2147 01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:33,760 Speaker 3: at his best. Give me Old miss to cover the 2148 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,840 Speaker 3: bigger number. Yeah, I'm right there with you. I don't 2149 01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:37,720 Speaker 3: think this will be much of an issue. I mean, 2150 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,080 Speaker 3: it is a rivalry game. Everybody wants to throw it 2151 01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,880 Speaker 3: out the window during rival games. I get it, but 2152 01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,280 Speaker 3: not with Lane Kiffin and company. Them boys are trying 2153 01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:47,000 Speaker 3: to prove to him he should stick around. 2154 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,800 Speaker 5: One school has a lot to play for, the other 2155 01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,559 Speaker 5: not so much. LSU. 2156 01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:55,120 Speaker 3: And I know Brian Kelly's son is still on the team, 2157 01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:57,960 Speaker 3: and I know that he's still hoping to get support 2158 01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,120 Speaker 3: for his dad and free BK and all this because 2159 01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:03,479 Speaker 3: his dad is you know, obviously he's going through much 2160 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,000 Speaker 3: of a struggle trying to settle for fifty four million dollars. 2161 01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,040 Speaker 3: Oklahoma has everything in front of him. They got a 2162 01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:09,840 Speaker 3: late ten and a half. 2163 01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:16,240 Speaker 4: What do you think I'm never picking a three two stroke, Well, 2164 01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:19,320 Speaker 4: I'm never picking LSU. As long as there's a Kelly 2165 01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,519 Speaker 4: on the team, or the governor is interfering in the 2166 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:25,960 Speaker 4: election of the new head coach. I got to Oklahoma 2167 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,240 Speaker 4: to cover ten and a half Oklahoma, of course, where 2168 01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:31,920 Speaker 4: the wind comes sweeping down the planes. 2169 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:35,160 Speaker 3: This is a Oklahoma win, but I think it opens 2170 01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:38,639 Speaker 3: the door for a late cover for LSU. I'll take 2171 01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:41,639 Speaker 3: the tig Go tie guys. I'll take LSU to cover 2172 01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,640 Speaker 3: the number but lose the game. Vanderbilt is fourteenth in 2173 01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,920 Speaker 3: the country. Tennessee is nineteenth in the country. Austin I 2174 01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:50,560 Speaker 3: said this last week. I'm kind of done with the 2175 01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,320 Speaker 3: Diego Pavia hype train. I know he was fantastic last week. 2176 01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:59,000 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, he was awesome. Accounted for six total touchdowns, 2177 01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,560 Speaker 3: the second time this year he's accounted for six touchdowns 2178 01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:05,360 Speaker 3: in a game. I'm just I don't think Vanderbilt can 2179 01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:06,960 Speaker 3: go on the road. It's only a three and a 2180 01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:11,800 Speaker 3: half point spread. I think Tennessee they had to slip 2181 01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,120 Speaker 3: up against Oklahoma. They got right last week on the 2182 01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,240 Speaker 3: road at the Swamp. They finish out their regular season 2183 01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:19,280 Speaker 3: on a high note. I got them beating Vanderbilt and 2184 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,760 Speaker 3: covering the number. I do too, never easy to play 2185 01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:25,960 Speaker 3: at Niland Stadium. They're favored for a reason. I don't 2186 01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:28,639 Speaker 3: believe in Vandy. You want to talk about something stinking 2187 01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:33,479 Speaker 3: and line's not making sense? Last time I checked. Auburn 2188 01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 3: is not a great football team this year. Oh whoa, 2189 01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:39,920 Speaker 3: this is one of those games. This is an Iron Bowl? 2190 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:41,599 Speaker 5: Oh this is the game? 2191 01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:41,840 Speaker 39: Right? 2192 01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:45,680 Speaker 5: Are you won in six in conference? Doesn't matter? Alabama's 2193 01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:48,439 Speaker 5: still playing for something. Did you not watch Ohio State 2194 01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:49,439 Speaker 5: Michigan last year? 2195 01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:49,640 Speaker 14: Oh? 2196 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,200 Speaker 3: God, it doesn't matter. They Ama cover six and a 2197 01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:53,120 Speaker 3: half easy in this one. 2198 01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:53,599 Speaker 10: I agree? 2199 01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:54,120 Speaker 5: All right? 2200 01:51:55,360 --> 01:52:00,799 Speaker 3: What about the Battle in the Bluegrass? Louisville host Kentucky. 2201 01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:05,280 Speaker 3: Mark Stoop's trying to get his Kentucky Wildcats Bowl eligible. 2202 01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,479 Speaker 3: It's been such an up and down year. I feel 2203 01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:10,920 Speaker 3: like for the Kentucky Wildcats. I'll ask you, Austin. Does 2204 01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:15,639 Speaker 3: Kentucky get their third SEC win? More importantly, does Kentucky 2205 01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,400 Speaker 3: game Bowl eligibility after the Vanderbilt Commodore has just boat 2206 01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:20,479 Speaker 3: raced them last weekend? 2207 01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 17: No? 2208 01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:26,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, Louisville wins. But I don't trust either one of 2209 01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:29,720 Speaker 4: these teams. I really don't. Yeah, I don't trust either 2210 01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:32,160 Speaker 4: one of them. But I'm gonna say because it's at Louisville. 2211 01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:35,560 Speaker 4: The Cards win home team. I think that's good for 2212 01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:38,160 Speaker 4: the three and a half point bump. I trust Louisville 2213 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:38,920 Speaker 4: more than Kentucky. 2214 01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:39,320 Speaker 6: I'm with you. 2215 01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,320 Speaker 3: I don't trust either of them, but I'll take the 2216 01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:43,960 Speaker 3: Louisville Cardinals in this game. Let me get this out 2217 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,599 Speaker 3: of the way, Austin, it's number one Ohio State. It's 2218 01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 3: number fifteen Michigan. They call it the game, the game. 2219 01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,720 Speaker 3: Ohio State's favored by nine and a half, and go 2220 01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:55,320 Speaker 3: ahead and put me on record, Austin. 2221 01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:55,760 Speaker 5: I'll do it. 2222 01:52:56,520 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 3: This one won't even be close. Ohio State's just go roll. 2223 01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:03,120 Speaker 3: This might be the easiest win ever in the history 2224 01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,040 Speaker 3: of this rivalry. Oh Man, this will be I'm not 2225 01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:08,360 Speaker 3: gonna say it might. This will be the easiest path 2226 01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:11,160 Speaker 3: to victory Ohio State's ever had. I think they're gonna 2227 01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:13,800 Speaker 3: start to win, to start to finish. They're just gonna 2228 01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:17,479 Speaker 3: crush Michigan. It won't be close. Give me Ohio State. 2229 01:53:17,479 --> 01:53:19,639 Speaker 3: I'd probably buy this up to thirty nine and a half, 2230 01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,320 Speaker 3: but I'll just happily take the nine. 2231 01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,280 Speaker 5: And a half.

The game is in Detroit, Austin. 2288 01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:13,080 Speaker 3: The floor's yours. 2289 01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:16,440 Speaker 4: The Packers never seem to make it easy right every 2290 01:56:16,560 --> 01:56:19,720 Speaker 4: year or every week this season, it's it feels like 2291 01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:23,760 Speaker 4: they're going in the wrong direction, like they're playing down 2292 01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:29,240 Speaker 4: to their opponents. I think they do the opposite this 2293 01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:33,000 Speaker 4: time around. I think they beat Detroit on the road. 2294 01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:36,440 Speaker 4: Detroit just feels like they're they're barely staying alive. Kirby 2295 01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:39,000 Speaker 4: Joseph not going to be playing this game short week, 2296 01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:43,000 Speaker 4: They've been battling injuries all year. Detroit's just tread and water, 2297 01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:45,920 Speaker 4: and I feel like green Bay has just enough to 2298 01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:49,080 Speaker 4: beat them. Yeah, I think it's close, but I think 2299 01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:54,000 Speaker 4: it's a touchdown that green Bay wins by on Thanksgiving. 2300 01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:59,440 Speaker 4: This Packers. Your love crushing the Turduccan after this Packer's. 2301 01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:02,560 Speaker 3: Front against what has been the amazingness of Jamier Gibbs 2302 01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:06,120 Speaker 3: is the storyline for me? I like the Lions at 2303 01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,120 Speaker 3: home a little bit hungry. Or I think of the 2304 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,920 Speaker 3: Detroit Lions. I think they take on the persona of 2305 01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:14,080 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell. Give me the Lions to beat the Packers. 2306 01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:17,520 Speaker 3: How about the second game on Thanksgiving? It's the Chiefs 2307 01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:19,640 Speaker 3: coming off a huge win at home against the Colts 2308 01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:22,760 Speaker 3: versus the Cowboys, who'll raise the twenty one point deficit 2309 01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,560 Speaker 3: to come back and beat the Eagles. Cowboys season hopes 2310 01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:29,960 Speaker 3: still alive. I'll tell you what, George Pickens has been 2311 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:34,480 Speaker 3: awesome for the Cowboys. That offense is dangerous. Is it 2312 01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:38,680 Speaker 3: dangerous enough to beat the Chiefs at home Austin. 2313 01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:41,920 Speaker 5: Yes, it is. I got the Cowboys to cover three 2314 01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:42,320 Speaker 5: and a half. 2315 01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:42,680 Speaker 7: Good. 2316 01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:45,600 Speaker 3: We're on opposite ends as well. I think the Chiefs 2317 01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:48,120 Speaker 3: figured some stuff out late in that game against the 2318 01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:51,360 Speaker 3: Colts and lu An Arumo's vaunted defense. I will take 2319 01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:55,160 Speaker 3: the Chiefs to get up early on a bad Dallas 2320 01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:58,960 Speaker 3: defense and Spags does not let the Cowboys back into 2321 01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:02,760 Speaker 3: the game. Bears Eagles Black Friday. If you're not out shopping, 2322 01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:05,680 Speaker 3: if you're just waking up from listening to Austin from 2323 01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:08,280 Speaker 3: one to three in the morning, you're rolling out of bed. 2324 01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:12,960 Speaker 3: Bears Eagles, Eagles are laying seven. Both of these teams 2325 01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:15,320 Speaker 3: have eight wins or seven or yes, eight wins. 2326 01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:15,720 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. 2327 01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:19,120 Speaker 3: It feels like they've gotten here in much different trajectories, though. 2328 01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:21,880 Speaker 3: I think this is an Eagles statement game. They erase 2329 01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:24,800 Speaker 3: the bad loss against Dallas. I think the Bears slip 2330 01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:26,760 Speaker 3: up from how good they've been. Give me the Eagles 2331 01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:27,320 Speaker 3: to win and cover. 2332 01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:31,280 Speaker 4: I disagree with you. I got the Bears. I know 2333 01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,640 Speaker 4: their defense has not been great. I think this could 2334 01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,200 Speaker 4: be a bit of a high scoring game, but I 2335 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:39,000 Speaker 4: think Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurtz go back and forth, 2336 01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:40,800 Speaker 4: and I think the Bears find a way to win 2337 01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:43,440 Speaker 4: the Bears because I think Ben Johnson's a better play caller. 2338 01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:45,480 Speaker 3: I just don't understand the line in the forty nine 2339 01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:49,920 Speaker 3: ers in Browns game. It just seems too little for me. 2340 01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,600 Speaker 3: I know it's in Cleveland. I know Miles Garrett could 2341 01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:57,440 Speaker 3: very well have seven sacks in this game, but the 2342 01:58:57,560 --> 01:58:59,880 Speaker 3: line right now is still just four and a half. 2343 01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:02,880 Speaker 3: It opened at six and a half and it is 2344 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:05,680 Speaker 3: now down to four and a half. Something doesn't smell 2345 01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,280 Speaker 3: quite right. But last time I checked, the forty nine 2346 01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:10,800 Speaker 3: ers still have Christian McCaffrey. I'll take the Niners on 2347 01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:11,920 Speaker 3: the road to cover four and a half. 2348 01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:16,320 Speaker 4: Short week for San Francisco, cross country trip for San Francisco, 2349 01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:20,520 Speaker 4: Super Bowl caliber defensive line for the Cleveland Browns. 2350 01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:23,400 Speaker 3: Cleveland covers four an look at you drinking the Shadoor 2351 01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:24,200 Speaker 3: kool aid again? 2352 01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:25,120 Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, no, no. 2353 01:59:25,720 --> 01:59:29,240 Speaker 3: Mine time the Texans. I was not familiar with your 2354 01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:33,360 Speaker 3: defense in Houston. That front is phenomenal. They may have 2355 01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:35,880 Speaker 3: just sacked Josh Allen again. I tried to tell you 2356 01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:37,920 Speaker 3: that's a great defensive line. 2357 01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:40,640 Speaker 5: You asked me for the game. I know, I said 2358 01:59:40,680 --> 01:59:43,080 Speaker 5: to watch out for Texans, no defensive line. 2359 01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:47,040 Speaker 3: It's a Colts team coming off just a brutal loss 2360 01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:50,320 Speaker 3: down the stretch. Do the Colts do enough at home? 2361 01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,480 Speaker 3: And can the Texans score enough to keep this within 2362 01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:55,080 Speaker 3: four and a half. 2363 01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:59,280 Speaker 4: I do think the Colts continue down their path with 2364 01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:01,880 Speaker 4: running off the I know Danny Dimes has been a 2365 02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:03,760 Speaker 4: little bit banged up, but if they're able to run 2366 02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:07,360 Speaker 4: him at all and kind of neutralize the edge for Houston. 2367 02:00:07,640 --> 02:00:08,080 Speaker 31: I like it. 2368 02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:10,640 Speaker 4: I think Indy can still run the ball on him, 2369 02:00:10,760 --> 02:00:14,840 Speaker 4: So for that reason, I'll take the Colts. 2370 02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:16,960 Speaker 3: I got the Colts as well, just because I don't 2371 02:00:17,200 --> 02:00:20,040 Speaker 3: think the Texans offense will be able to do enough 2372 02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:21,480 Speaker 3: in this game. I think four and a half's a 2373 02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:25,160 Speaker 3: fair number for the Colts to cover. Bills at Steelers. 2374 02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:29,160 Speaker 3: I think the slide continues for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I 2375 02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:34,680 Speaker 3: just feel like in watching Buffalo at least this year Austin, 2376 02:00:35,480 --> 02:00:37,960 Speaker 3: when they do suffer a loss or they go through 2377 02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:41,000 Speaker 3: a game in which they just don't play their best, 2378 02:00:41,080 --> 02:00:42,920 Speaker 3: they respond in a pretty good way. Coming off the 2379 02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:45,080 Speaker 3: loss of the Falcons earlier, they put forty on the 2380 02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:48,680 Speaker 3: board against the Carolina Panthers before beating the Chiefs. After 2381 02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:50,720 Speaker 3: the Dolphins lost, they came back and beat a good 2382 02:00:50,800 --> 02:00:53,680 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay team and put up forty four on the board. 2383 02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:57,240 Speaker 3: It's a bad Steelers defense. It's Josh Allen coming off 2384 02:00:57,280 --> 02:01:00,360 Speaker 3: getting sacked eight times. A lot of questions circulating Buffalo. 2385 02:01:00,760 --> 02:01:03,240 Speaker 3: I think they quiet that and they go and beat 2386 02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:04,120 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh handily. 2387 02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:05,920 Speaker 4: I'm right there with you. I think there's a lot 2388 02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:09,120 Speaker 4: of pressure on Buffalo. I think Josh Allen respawns well 2389 02:01:09,240 --> 02:01:12,080 Speaker 4: to that pressure, and I think that they find a 2390 02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:16,200 Speaker 4: way to beat Pittsburgh. I don't know that it's gonna 2391 02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:18,680 Speaker 4: be double digits, but I think it's going to be 2392 02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:19,840 Speaker 4: more than three and a half. 2393 02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:25,880 Speaker 3: Finally, to cap off your Thanksgiving Tomorrow night, Oh yeah, 2394 02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:31,560 Speaker 3: it's Bengals, It's Ravens. It's Jamar Chase and his nine 2395 02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:34,640 Speaker 3: hundred combined yards. I feel like last year against the 2396 02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:38,520 Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens, it's the return of Joe Burrow. Can the 2397 02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:42,360 Speaker 3: ground game of Chase Brown continue? Does Lamar Jackson and 2398 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:45,960 Speaker 3: the Ravens offense continue to sputter or do they get 2399 02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,680 Speaker 3: their offense figured out? Can the Ravens defensive line produce 2400 02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:51,840 Speaker 3: any pressure? They've not done it this year we talked 2401 02:01:51,840 --> 02:01:54,520 Speaker 3: about how bad the Bengals offense or defensive line has been. 2402 02:01:54,960 --> 02:01:58,320 Speaker 3: Sixteen combined sacks for the Bengals just eighteen combined sacks 2403 02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:01,960 Speaker 3: for the Baltimore Ravens. If they bring pressure, I think 2404 02:02:02,040 --> 02:02:04,800 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase have a big day. If not, 2405 02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:07,640 Speaker 3: if they play bass, I think Chase Brown can have 2406 02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:10,280 Speaker 3: another big day. I can't wait to see this game. 2407 02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:13,600 Speaker 3: There are so many intriguing storylines. I don't know if 2408 02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:15,960 Speaker 3: the Bengals can win, but I think this is a 2409 02:02:16,080 --> 02:02:19,880 Speaker 3: really close Thanksgiving Night game. So I'm comfortable laying that. 2410 02:02:20,040 --> 02:02:23,160 Speaker 3: I'm comfortable taking the seven. Give me the Bengals. For 2411 02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:26,640 Speaker 3: the last couple of years, the Bengals have gotten hot 2412 02:02:26,760 --> 02:02:30,040 Speaker 3: at the end of the season. They have bowed up 2413 02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:33,560 Speaker 3: when they've needed to bow up. They've showed up when 2414 02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 3: they've needed to show. They have with their backs up 2415 02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:42,480 Speaker 3: against the wall. Given themselves opportunity after opportunity after opportunity, 2416 02:02:42,520 --> 02:02:45,360 Speaker 3: they've made the most of it. They are due for 2417 02:02:45,480 --> 02:02:49,280 Speaker 3: one of these games in Baltimore, and powered by the 2418 02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:54,400 Speaker 3: return of their quarterback, our quarterback, Ohio's very own On 2419 02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:58,680 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving with the John Madden patch on the beautiful white uniform, 2420 02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:00,800 Speaker 3: the Bengals make a statement. 2421 02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:03,320 Speaker 4: Yes, Joe Burrow is back. Seasons back on, and so 2422 02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:05,440 Speaker 4: are the Cincinnati Bengals. Seasons back on. 2423 02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:07,720 Speaker 5: Bengals wine, Bengals win. 2424 02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:10,600 Speaker 3: If Chris Chanty is going to go out of his 2425 02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:12,920 Speaker 3: way to give a path to the Bengals to make 2426 02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:15,880 Speaker 3: the playoffs, then he knows something and I'm picking up 2427 02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 3: on it. I love the Bearcats, right, I love the Bengals. 2428 02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:21,880 Speaker 3: One of them has gotta win for us this weekend. 2429 02:03:22,480 --> 02:03:24,280 Speaker 3: I do think the Bengals have a good shot to win. 2430 02:03:24,720 --> 02:03:27,520 Speaker 3: I certainly think the Bengals can cover the number. We 2431 02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:30,480 Speaker 3: take a break. Are we coming back? Right to Chad Brendle. 2432 02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:36,400 Speaker 3: Let's go next, ESBN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station, A service, 2433 02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:37,200 Speaker 3: a Penn station. 2434 02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:47,040 Speaker 8: It's time for Cincy three sixty quick hits on ESPN 2435 02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:47,960 Speaker 8: fifteen thirty. 2436 02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:51,280 Speaker 3: All right, I guess we're not even looking for Mo today. 2437 02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:54,000 Speaker 3: We're just moving right on.

I don't 2446 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:07,880 Speaker 5: feel great. 2447 02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:11,080 Speaker 29: When I asked if he was one hundred percent, Joe said, 2448 02:04:11,080 --> 02:04:12,480 Speaker 29: I think I'm I'm good enough to win. 2449 02:04:13,320 --> 02:04:14,280 Speaker 5: It makes me a little. 2450 02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:18,840 Speaker 29: Nervous, not gonna lie, but look, there's no other you're 2451 02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:23,600 Speaker 29: not You're paying Joe Burrow over a quarter of a 2452 02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:30,560 Speaker 29: billion dollars. There's seven games left. There's no world where 2453 02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:32,080 Speaker 29: he's healthy and you don't play. 2454 02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, that that doesn't. That doesn't. 2455 02:04:35,520 --> 02:04:38,000 Speaker 29: If there was two or three games left, then that's 2456 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:41,080 Speaker 29: a decision that you have to make. The season's over. 2457 02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:43,520 Speaker 29: We got two or three games left. What are we 2458 02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:46,640 Speaker 29: gonna get by Joe coming back? There's set there's you know, 2459 02:04:46,920 --> 02:04:50,880 Speaker 29: just under half of the season left. He's a football player. 2460 02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:56,000 Speaker 29: Go play games if they fall tomorrow. Yeah, and they're 2461 02:04:56,080 --> 02:04:59,200 Speaker 29: mathematically out of it. And let's just say that his 2462 02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:02,440 Speaker 29: pocket move it looks labored. Let's say that. Then you 2463 02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:05,880 Speaker 29: revisit conversation shots. Yeah, now you're out of it. Do 2464 02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:07,880 Speaker 29: you want to send them to Buffalo and have him 2465 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:08,560 Speaker 29: start in that game? 2466 02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:08,880 Speaker 14: Are you? 2467 02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:11,560 Speaker 5: Are you in the sense of it's a game by 2468 02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:13,200 Speaker 5: game scenario at this point? 2469 02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:13,760 Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah. 2470 02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:16,240 Speaker 29: I mean I don't think you can like, oh no, 2471 02:05:16,680 --> 02:05:18,440 Speaker 29: he took two hard hits. We can't play him the 2472 02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:19,160 Speaker 29: rest of the season. 2473 02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:19,840 Speaker 12: Uh. 2474 02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:22,160 Speaker 29: But but there's stuff that I need to see Tony. 2475 02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:26,800 Speaker 29: Is he going under center more? Are they doing more? 2476 02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:32,240 Speaker 29: Because this line has effective, this line looks competent. Again, 2477 02:05:32,440 --> 02:05:34,200 Speaker 29: this is the second time now that Joe Burrow has 2478 02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:38,360 Speaker 29: been out and in his absence, the line looks different. 2479 02:05:39,640 --> 02:05:44,640 Speaker 29: So is Joe Burrow going to adapt and say, Okay, 2480 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,040 Speaker 29: maybe the way I want to play needs some modifications. 2481 02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:50,240 Speaker 29: Maybe we can mix in the way I want to play, 2482 02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,640 Speaker 29: but it doesn't have to be seventy snaps a game. 2483 02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,640 Speaker 29: Maybe we run the stuff I want to start, run 2484 02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:59,200 Speaker 29: twenty thirty snaps a game, and then we do some 2485 02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:02,480 Speaker 29: other stuff that it's gonna not get me killed. Yeah, 2486 02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:06,440 Speaker 29: so there's things I want to see from now until 2487 02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:09,880 Speaker 29: whenever it is he's not playing for the Bengals the 2488 02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:11,160 Speaker 29: rest of this season. 2489 02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:15,240 Speaker 3: You'll be on Friday. I won't have a chance to 2490 02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,920 Speaker 3: talk to you before then about it. The importance of 2491 02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:23,240 Speaker 3: Saturday's game at its massive, like just just the vibes 2492 02:06:23,280 --> 02:06:26,880 Speaker 3: alone to get a win, to get to eight. I mean, 2493 02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:30,040 Speaker 3: I think that's what we all agreed upon in the 2494 02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:36,280 Speaker 3: offseason was look seven, okay, but how you've gotten to seven? 2495 02:06:36,520 --> 02:06:39,720 Speaker 3: Well even just just in general, like you play. Those 2496 02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:42,520 Speaker 3: are the three best teams they've played this year. Now, 2497 02:06:43,080 --> 02:06:45,520 Speaker 3: the frustrating part is I think they were equally as 2498 02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:47,240 Speaker 3: talented as Arizona and BYU. 2499 02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:49,960 Speaker 29: They didn't play well enough to win. Yeah, those teams 2500 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:55,400 Speaker 29: played better, So that's that's frustrating. But just eight, just 2501 02:06:55,520 --> 02:06:58,560 Speaker 29: getting to eight, potential to get to nine, how much 2502 02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:01,640 Speaker 29: different three four years from now. Well, we look back 2503 02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:05,200 Speaker 29: on this season if they're nine and four as opposed 2504 02:07:05,240 --> 02:07:09,640 Speaker 29: to seven and six. So just and recruiting, it would 2505 02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:13,960 Speaker 29: be a nice lift to the recruiting department to show, hey, 2506 02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:15,880 Speaker 29: this is we can get to eight nine wins in 2507 02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:18,560 Speaker 29: this league, and I think it shows great progress. Plus, 2508 02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:21,600 Speaker 29: you're gonna finish top five in this league if you 2509 02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:25,320 Speaker 29: win on Saturday. If not, you're gonna be eighth, ninth. 2510 02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:29,560 Speaker 29: Whatever you did, difference, you didn't elevate into the upper third. 2511 02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:32,600 Speaker 29: You hung out in the middle third. It's a huge difference. 2512 02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:39,240 Speaker 29: Tonight Eastern Michigan, U see basketball. You get tonight, you 2513 02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:41,600 Speaker 29: get Monday, and then it's the shootout, and then after 2514 02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:45,040 Speaker 29: the shootout, it's Georgia, it's Clemson. You're coming up on 2515 02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:48,720 Speaker 29: your Big twelve opener, which is Houston, who has just 2516 02:07:49,040 --> 02:07:50,920 Speaker 29: picked up again right where they left off. 2517 02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:55,360 Speaker 3: Have you watched them? Yes, Kingston, Yep, it's gonna be 2518 02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:56,160 Speaker 3: the same Houston team. 2519 02:07:56,800 --> 02:07:57,240 Speaker 5: They're gonna be. 2520 02:07:58,040 --> 02:08:01,600 Speaker 3: Yes eventually with that Beans said, what do you look 2521 02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,000 Speaker 3: for in a game like tonight? Knowing you don't have 2522 02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:07,240 Speaker 3: many more of these? I don't want to say, gimme 2523 02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:09,840 Speaker 3: your twenty two point favorite. You don't have many more 2524 02:08:09,880 --> 02:08:11,400 Speaker 3: of these left. What do you need to see from 2525 02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:14,480 Speaker 3: this team now as you go forward? Less of what 2526 02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:19,280 Speaker 3: we saw the first ten minutes on Monday, where it 2527 02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:21,720 Speaker 3: just kind of looked like they were, you know, and 2528 02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:26,720 Speaker 3: some of that was in Jit throughout that weird zone man, 2529 02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:31,040 Speaker 3: hybrid whatever defense, but they didn't look connected in the 2530 02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:33,880 Speaker 3: first ten minutes of that game. They looked much better 2531 02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:35,960 Speaker 3: the rest of the way. I want to see the 2532 02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:38,080 Speaker 3: rest of the way, and then I want to see 2533 02:08:38,520 --> 02:08:40,960 Speaker 3: more Jordi Rodriguez. I want to see him get up 2534 02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,080 Speaker 3: to the point where we see more Jordi Rodriguez, we 2535 02:08:43,120 --> 02:08:47,640 Speaker 3: see more Tyler McKinley, we see more Keishaan Tillery because 2536 02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:51,720 Speaker 3: those guys, I thought in j t is terrible, terrible, 2537 02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:55,120 Speaker 3: But those guys need confidence because at. 2538 02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:57,360 Speaker 29: Times in the Big twelve you're gonna need them. I 2539 02:08:57,360 --> 02:08:58,920 Speaker 29: don't think we see Bob at tonight. 2540 02:08:59,240 --> 02:09:02,000 Speaker 3: Which a good point about Rodriguez too, Like overseas you 2541 02:09:02,120 --> 02:09:04,040 Speaker 3: play once a week, Yeah, and you get a lot 2542 02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:05,720 Speaker 3: of practice time and build up and now you're playing 2543 02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:07,760 Speaker 3: multiple games a week. The build up time I think 2544 02:09:07,840 --> 02:09:08,680 Speaker 3: is important as well. 2545 02:09:08,760 --> 02:09:12,040 Speaker 29: But the physicality for the European guys, it's a different game, 2546 02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:15,000 Speaker 29: Like you don't get bumped and chucked and you don't 2547 02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:18,080 Speaker 29: you know, you get the runoff screens pretty free. He's 2548 02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:21,120 Speaker 29: adjusting to that. I love Jordi Rodriguez. I think he's 2549 02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:23,640 Speaker 29: got a chance as he adjusts to be really good here. Yeah, 2550 02:09:23,920 --> 02:09:26,320 Speaker 29: I want to see him continue to gain some confidence. 2551 02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:27,600 Speaker 5: What else you got coming up on the show. 2552 02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:31,400 Speaker 29: We're talking about Hunter Green? Oh do you trade him? 2553 02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:33,880 Speaker 29: Do you not trade him? How do you look at 2554 02:09:33,920 --> 02:09:39,200 Speaker 29: this situation? Like, of you know you're gonna hurt your 2555 02:09:39,240 --> 02:09:43,200 Speaker 29: pitching depth and maybe lose your number one guy. But 2556 02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:45,760 Speaker 29: we've already been told they don't have the money to 2557 02:09:45,800 --> 02:09:47,520 Speaker 29: go get a bat. Sure, so you got to get 2558 02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:50,240 Speaker 29: a bat. Do you think Nicklodolo is gonna bring a 2559 02:09:50,280 --> 02:09:54,320 Speaker 29: great bat? No, Chase Burns will probably get you a 2560 02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:57,200 Speaker 29: pretty good bat. Not trading Chase Barns at this point 2561 02:09:57,200 --> 02:10:00,360 Speaker 29: in time. So really, the only guy, if you're going 2562 02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:03,240 Speaker 29: to improve this offense, the only guy on the table 2563 02:10:03,320 --> 02:10:04,800 Speaker 29: to do it is Hunter Green. Do I want to 2564 02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:07,960 Speaker 29: trade Hunter Green? No, But taking all the information that 2565 02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:10,400 Speaker 29: I have, I'm listening. 2566 02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:11,200 Speaker 5: The only thing that. 2567 02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:13,080 Speaker 3: Worries me about Hunter Green and I'm a huge Hunter 2568 02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:16,080 Speaker 3: Green fan and I love the contract. There's just something 2569 02:10:16,080 --> 02:10:18,240 Speaker 3: about watching him in that playoff game where it almost 2570 02:10:18,280 --> 02:10:21,920 Speaker 3: felt like the moment was too much. Yeah, he's bouncing balls, 2571 02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:24,040 Speaker 3: he was all over the place. You could just tell 2572 02:10:24,120 --> 02:10:27,920 Speaker 3: he couldn't calm himself down. And you watch the rest 2573 02:10:27,920 --> 02:10:30,640 Speaker 3: of the playoffs. You see rookies going to the playoffs 2574 02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:32,480 Speaker 3: that I don't remember the guy's name for the Yankees, 2575 02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:35,960 Speaker 3: but rookie went into Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox 2576 02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:38,680 Speaker 3: like you dominate. You either have it or you don't. 2577 02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:40,840 Speaker 3: I worry a little bit about that moment and how 2578 02:10:40,880 --> 02:10:43,760 Speaker 3: it felt for Hunter Green. Yeah, and it felt too 2579 02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:46,000 Speaker 3: big there, Yes, it felt too big. The other thing 2580 02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:49,400 Speaker 3: that bothers me Tony He's had one season where he's 2581 02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:51,920 Speaker 3: throwing one hundred and fifty innings, and he threw exactly 2582 02:10:52,480 --> 02:10:55,360 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty innings. He is so far been 2583 02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:58,560 Speaker 3: a twenty twenty two game starter, and he had one 2584 02:10:58,640 --> 02:11:01,120 Speaker 3: season with twenty six. Everything else has been twenty two 2585 02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:05,560 Speaker 3: and under. Can you have your ace miss ten starts 2586 02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:05,920 Speaker 3: a year? 2587 02:11:06,160 --> 02:11:06,360 Speaker 5: Yeah? 2588 02:11:06,880 --> 02:11:10,640 Speaker 3: I don't feel comfortable with that, and this offense needs 2589 02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:16,320 Speaker 3: significant help. Lastly, what is your what is your stance 2590 02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:19,280 Speaker 3: on stuffing? And what's your go to Thanksgiving meal toll? 2591 02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:21,880 Speaker 29: You let me ask you a question, how many times 2592 02:11:22,760 --> 02:11:26,680 Speaker 29: from January first to December thirty first, in any given 2593 02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:29,960 Speaker 29: year do you have stuffing for dinner? 2594 02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:30,640 Speaker 7: With you? 2595 02:11:30,720 --> 02:11:34,400 Speaker 3: With jeffing, I'm anti stuffing, like I got you crushed 2596 02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:37,560 Speaker 3: for it today. You're making my point like we're on 2597 02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:40,400 Speaker 3: the same team. If stuffing was good, it'd be served 2598 02:11:40,440 --> 02:11:42,360 Speaker 3: more people would eat it. You know what's good, tony 2599 02:11:42,720 --> 02:11:45,800 Speaker 3: mashed potatoes? You know how often we eat mashed potatoes 2600 02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:46,120 Speaker 3: a lot? 2601 02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:46,480 Speaker 9: You know? 2602 02:11:46,720 --> 02:11:47,280 Speaker 5: You know what's good? 2603 02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:50,160 Speaker 29: Mac and cheese.
