Normally 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 4: we get with Keegan nikoson on Thursdays, but there is 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: a lot of Bearcat conversation happening. I'm also off tomorrow, 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 4: so wanted to get a UC dynamic leading into the 24 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 4: game against Alabama State tonight. 25 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: Why Gigsel James is back Austin Tournament. 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 4: Back on Gigsel James back for the Bearcats. It is 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 4: said that Jizzle will play tonight. My only question Austin, 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 4: when March Madness rolls around, will the committee throw away 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 4: the losses that the Bearcats have had without Gigsel on 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 4: the roster because they'll be a completely different team. 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it's the only logical approach to a true 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: evaluation of the Bearcat basketball team. Thank you, thank you. 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of it. I I mean, 34 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: we've heard rumblings about this for a while now, Yeah, 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: and it was kind of unclear what was actually ever 36 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: going to happen, and now it's it's culminated in this 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 3: and I've seen a lot of Bearcat fans the immediate 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 3: reaction saying, desperate times call for desperate measures. Yeah, I mean, 39 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: obviously whatever was going on in Gisel's personal life, it's 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: great news that he's sure gotten back to the point 41 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: where he's able to rejoin the basketball team, and I 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: think we're all happy about that, but how much does 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: this actually change things for them? 44 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 4: I mean, we've we've had stuff, Austin. I think Chad 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: Breundle was in one day for MO and I asked 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 4: Chad about Gigzl. He said, look, Gigsel's not going to 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 4: play this year. Chad is as connected to the program 48 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: as you'll find. Something has had to change, and again, 49 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: I think there is a desperation feel to it. We'll 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: talk to Chad about that this afternoon. But regardless of 51 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 4: any of that and what you feel of Gigsel playing 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 4: or not playing, I do think Austin the underlying thing 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 4: here here was a guy that had some serious issues 54 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: on going off the court and has at least got 55 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 4: those in order enough that they feel confident in bringing 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 4: them back. That, at least to that extent, is a 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 4: good thing. Louisville basketball fell last night by twenty one 58 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: points at Tennessee. That is their biggest loss of the season. 59 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 4: Louisville scheduled very hard, but a loss for the Louisville 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: Cardinals last night the Dolphins. Austin, how about this, how 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 4: about what the Dolphins did today. They cut Matthew Judon. 62 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 4: They moved on from one of their edge rushers, Matthew Judon. 63 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: That is not the craziest thing that the Dolphins have 64 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: done today. They also benched Tua Tongue of Ioloa. Yes, 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: Quinn Ores will now be the starter for the Dolphins 66 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: when they host the Bengals on Sunday. Let's just start 67 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: with that alone, Austin, Let's start with Quinnoers. This should 68 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: play into the favor of the Cincinnati Bengals very clearly. 69 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 4: Should should play into the favor of the Cincinnati Bengals. 70 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 4: Will it play in the favor of the Cincinnati Bengals 71 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: impossible to tell. 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: With this defense. I mean, there's just no way to 73 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: know for sure if they're actually going to show up. 74 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: But friend of the Show Jay Morrison, as you know, 75 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: he's great at stats like this, and he looked it up. 76 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 3: The Bengals have faced a quarterback making their NFL debut 77 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: starting debut twenty two times previously. In those twenty two games, 78 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: the Bengals are fourteen and eight. Oh boy, So historically, 79 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: you know, it's it's pretty good. It's not as it's 80 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: not twenty two and zero, But it's pretty good. Miami 81 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: is obviously at a transitional period for their franchise right now, 82 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: now that they've officially been eliminated from the playoffs, and 83 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: with Tua being sat down and Matthew Judon being let go, 84 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what they look like on Sunday 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: against the Bengals. The last time the Bengals faced a 86 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: quarterback starting their NFL debut, it was Anthony Brown Week 87 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: eighteen of twenty twenty two for the Baltimore Ravens. You 88 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: might remember that was like the coin flip game, sure, 89 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: right after the deamorw Hamlin situation. In that game, Anthony 90 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: Brown was nineteen of forty four, two hundred and eighty 91 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: six yards, no touchdowns, two picks, and the Bengals sacked 92 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: him four times. And the last time before that, your 93 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: buddy Mike White with the New York Jets. We all 94 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: know how that went. Wow. Okay. 95 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: By the way, the Matthew Judon news Austin, he had 96 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: played in thirteen games this year yet to register a 97 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 4: sack for the Miami Dolphins. Financially, what does this mean 98 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: for the Miami Dolphins. 99 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: Well, Tua is under contracts for the foreseeable future. He's 100 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: already got I think well over fifty million dollars in 101 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: guaranteed money next year for Miami. Let me see if 102 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: I can, if I have the cofing, he has fifty 103 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: four million dollars guaranteed to him next year. 104 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 5: Wow. 105 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: So next season he's already fifty four million. This coming 106 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: March March fifteenth, three million of his twenty twenty seven 107 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: salary becomes guaranteed. So cutting him would leave ninety nine 108 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: million dollars in dead money for the Miami Dolphins. If 109 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: they were to cut him after June first, it would 110 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: equal out to sixty seven point four million in dead 111 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 3: money in twenty twenty six, thirty one point eight million 112 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: in dead money in twenty twenty seven. We saw most recently, 113 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 3: the last team to do this was the Denver Broncos 114 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: when they moved on from Russell Wilson and had a 115 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: ton of dead money on their salary cap. They obviously 116 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: used their first round pick on bow Nicks and have 117 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: built that defense. So it's I have a hard time 118 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: believing that Tua won't be the quarterback next year for Miami. Yeah, 119 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: but I think they're in this situation where trying to 120 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: figure out who they are and if Mike McDaniel is 121 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: going to stay, and they got a new GM and 122 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: all this other stuff. So just so much money, so 123 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: much money into Tua. The Bengals are now four and 124 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: a half point favorites after this news. Now. Originally, when 125 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: the line came out Sunday night, Miami was favored by 126 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: a point and a half. Yep, they played so poorly 127 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: on Monday night in Pittsburgh that it jumped to the 128 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: Bengals by a point and a half. And now with 129 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: the news of Tua getting benched, it's crazy half in 130 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 3: favor of the Bengals. 131 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 4: For me, I think I would have rather seen Tua. 132 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: I agree, I would rather go against the known and 133 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: what Tua is than the unknown. 134 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: Every Bengals fan had the same thought when they saw 135 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: that news today. Yep, here we go again. Do this 136 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: a week fourteen and eight. That still is not what 137 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: you want? Like you would rather be like twenty and two. 138 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: No, we'll talk more about what this means for the 139 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: game coming up here now were number one, shout out Austin. 140 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 4: I can't imagine our guy who will talk to a 141 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: two forty five today, Moagger today, oh man, Uh, Moe's 142 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: New York Knicks won the NBA Cup last night over 143 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: the Spurs, and then Mo wakes up today and Gisel 144 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 4: James is back. 145 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, what you would talk about? What a span from 146 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: a roller coaster from what happened with the Bengals to 147 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: where he's at now. Unbelievable and cloud nine unbelievable. First 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 3: championship for the Knicks since nineteen seventy three. Oh Spike 149 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: Lee was in attendance to I am hearing now though 150 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 3: that they won't be raising a banner really, which is 151 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: kind of disappointing. Yeah, very very disappointing. 152 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 5: Uh. 153 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 4: We will talk more the NFL weekends late coming up today. Also, Austin, 154 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 4: the Reds have made a move, Yes, they have now 155 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 4: all off season Austin. What have we talked about? Will 156 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: the Reds sign a hometown hero? Will they sign an 157 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: Ohio native who could bring championships to this organization? And 158 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: while many thought that that dream may have died last week, 159 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: the Reds might be back. 160 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 3: Austin. 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 4: They have signed left handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson. Let's go 162 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: Ferguson to the Reds. 163 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 3: Nice. 164 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: He is an Ohio native Columbus, Columbus native with the 165 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: West Jefferson High School. That right there, Austin will probably 166 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 4: put fans in the stands at Great American Ballpark is 167 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 4: school today are ninety nine days away from opening day. 168 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: Caleb Ferguson last year appeared in seventy games with the 169 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: Pirates and the Mariners. Pitch pretty good for the Mariners. 170 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: He had a three point five to eight earned run average, 171 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: fifty one strikeouts over sixty five, and a third inn. 172 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, he gave up just two home runs. 173 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: I would have to double check that. I think I 174 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: saw our guy Jeff Carr say that. So not a 175 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 3: guy who's given up the long ball very often. Listen, 176 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 3: left handed matchup pitcher is what they needed in this bullpen. 177 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: Francona talked about that a little bit with you know, 178 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: Brent Suiter wasn't necessarily that guy. And Lord knows Taylor 179 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: Rogers didn't work out for this team last year. Sam 180 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 3: Mall was injured for most of it. So Sam Mall's 181 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: coming back, we know that they re signed him. I'm 182 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: curious to see what he looks like in spring training. 183 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: Now you've got a guy in Caleb Ferguson, who keep 184 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: in mind, the Reds hired the former Pirates pitching coach 185 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 3: this offseason to be a part of their major league 186 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: pitching staff, so there's clearly some familiarity there with him 187 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: and Caleb Ferguson. So we'll see if that works out 188 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: for the Rets. Last year, held a left handed batters 189 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: to one eighty four. That's pretty good. That ain't bad. 190 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: He was using a multiple multitude of roles for the Pirates. 191 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: Middle reliever, specialist, will leverage arm for different points of 192 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: the season. Big fastball guy, but Austin. He also has 193 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: a slurve that's between a slider and a curve ball 194 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: that held hitters to two oh eight last year. 195 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: He did I'm fascinated by. 196 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: He did make three appearances in the postseason with the Mariners. 197 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 4: He allowed five runs in two and two thirds in needs. 198 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe, well, you know Caleb Ferguson across the 199 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: playoff bridge, when were the hometown kid. Good for him, 200 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: good for him, good for the Reds. Now Here's the 201 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: other thing. The PI the Padres. They just hired Craig 202 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 3: Stamman to be their manager, and he is an Ohio guy. 203 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: He's from like Versailles. Do you think the next manager 204 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: of the Reds is Craig Stammon, so that you know, 205 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: whenever Francona's done and he's not going to manage forever, obviously, 206 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: probably maybe get some seats, some butts in the seats, 207 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: get the manager. What are the seats for? I mean, 208 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: I'm sure that the seats are for the seats, according 209 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: to Pete Rose, God bless him, are for asses. Yes, 210 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if I have that. I used to 211 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: play that all the time. I don't know I do. 212 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we know how good the seats were 213 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: when David Bell was the man ticket prices, for sure. 214 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 3: Thank you, Pete, Thank you Pete. So we've got a 215 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: multitude of things just to play these clips all the time. 216 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: I got to get back to this. You know, we've 217 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: got a multitude of things to get to today again, 218 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: including the NFL week ahead. 219 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 4: I thought it'd be a good time today because the 220 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: chemistry they start back up Austin. How about we play 221 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: ball or no ball? Oh yeah, today, let's go. Well, 222 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: I'll throw some names out.

I was like gotta be I 224 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 4: was like wait, what it's got to be? 225 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: That's real? 226 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 6: Right? 227 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: No, it's not Bowl season, man ball or. 228 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 4: No ball with Bowl games starting back up tonight. I 229 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 4: don't know if there's anything else though we have here 230 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: uh in segment number one, as I mentioned Zach Taylor 231 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 4: at one o'clock, Chad Brendle A two A fury of 232 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: your phone calls five one three seven four nine, fifteen thirty. 233 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: And what this move will do, what it means with 234 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 4: the Dolphins benching Tua and cutting Matthew Judaan ahead of 235 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: the matchup against the Bengals on Sunday. We'll take our 236 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 4: first break when we come back. We'll dive into that 237 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 4: and then we'll get to your phone calls as well. 238 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 4: Five one three seven four nine, fifteen thirty. This is 239 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 4: Sincy three sixty. Thanks to our friends at Skyline, Chilean. 240 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 241 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: Hey Alexa, this is Football in the Natti, brought to 242 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: you by Hey during Window Company on ESPN fifteen thirty, 243 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 244 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 4: All right, let's do it. Let's do a little Football 245 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: in the Natti. Let's break down a little bit of 246 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: this game on Sunday afternoon, Austin. I also thought maybe 247 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 4: an hour number three be because I'm not in tomorrow, 248 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 4: we could do a little read and react. 249 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 3: Perhaps we'll see read it react. 250 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 4: Before I get to this, I saw last night via 251 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: your social media you had, uh you tuned in for 252 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 4: Hard Knocks. Anything happened of note in Hard Knocks last night? 253 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 3: No very boring episode of Hard Knocks. I did think, 254 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: you know that the parts that were interesting were the 255 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: league's reaction or those four teams reaction to Philip Rivers 256 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: coming back. I thought that was kind of interesting Lane 257 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: Johnson and him rehabbing that Liz Frank injury that he's 258 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: dealing with, and just all the work that kind of 259 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 3: goes into it. But no, it was a it was 260 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 3: a relatively boring episode, to be completely honest. I mean, 261 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: there's three teams there that are really kind of playing 262 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: out to string, yeah, and the Eagles who are just 263 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: trying to get back to themselves. 264 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: If you could rank the Hard Knock additions where you 265 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 4: obviously have the training camp, there was the off season, 266 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: there's the end season. What do you enjoy the most? 267 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: I always love the training camp version. I did think 268 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: last last year's was interesting because the Bengals were making 269 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: a push. Baltimore was there. The the in season version 270 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: I think is interesting. Uh. I really loved the off 271 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: season version with the Giants. Giants, Giants, they showed way 272 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: too much, showed way too much. It's never going to 273 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: happen again because of that, but I thought that was 274 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: really cool, Like that was a great look into what 275 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: an NFL operation is like in the off season, and 276 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: I really liked it. Sunday the Cincinnati Bengals. I want 277 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: to interrupt and say this two things actually. Number One, 278 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: if you like that type of thing, almost every team 279 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: has their own in house version of that, both in 280 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: the off season and in the regular season on like 281 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: their YouTube channels and all that. It's it's awesome. I 282 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: watched the Patriots all the time, I watched the Jags 283 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: like it's all really really interesting stuff. And then finally, 284 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: I know this is football in the Natty. But we 285 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: failed to give a shout out in the first segment 286 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: to the Miami RedHawks basketball. Yes eleven and H eleven 287 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: and zer they've received top twenty five votes. They beat 288 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: who they beat right State last night took it to 289 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: the Right State Raiders in the nuthouse last night, and 290 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: here come Travis Steel. Yeah, in the Miami RedHawks at 291 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 3: eleven and oh, channeling their inner Wally Zerbiak, here they come. Yeah, 292 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: shout out to Travis Steel in RedHawks eleven and zer 293 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: is a big, big deal. Now do you think that 294 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: the Bearcats will pick up the phone for Travis Steele 295 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: after this season? Well, it depends how the Gigsel James 296 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: experiment goes. Of course. You know, we'll see what happens there. 297 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: And it is an experiment. It is an experiment. 298 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: Let's talk about the matchup a little bit on Sunday, 299 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 4: because I don't think no, not having Matthew Judon makes 300 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: a big difference. 301 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: He's not registered a sack this year in thirteen games. 302 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: The Dolphins have moved on from Matthew Judon. They have 303 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: moved on from Tua Tongue Vailoa. 304 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 4: Now offensively, with Tua as the quarterback, it wasn't like 305 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 4: this Dolphins passing attack was dominant. They were ranked twenty six, 306 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 4: twenty seventh in the NFL at just one hundred and 307 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 4: eighty one passing yards per game. What I do think 308 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 4: this does and I think multiple reasons. Darren Waller is 309 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: having a little bit of a career resurgence since since 310 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: rejoining the Dolphins at two touchdowns last week. He's been 311 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: pretty solid throughout the season when he's been healthy. So 312 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 4: you look at tight end play and then you think 313 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 4: of running back and Austin. Are we sleeping on was 314 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 4: it a chain out of Miami? 315 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: I don't know anybody that's sleeping on him. He's one 316 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: of the best running backs in the league. 317 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 4: I mean, he has been fantastic. Now that offense as 318 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 4: a whole in Miami only rushes it for one hundred 319 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 4: and twenty two yards per game. I didn't realize Austin 320 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 4: the Reds or the Bengals are still thirty first in 321 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 4: the league at seven yards per game. That surprised me 322 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: because I thought the running game had turned a little 323 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 4: bit of the quarter. 324 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 3: It did, It had a stretch of that, and in 325 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: the last two weeks it's completely, you know, falling back off. 326 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 3: So I don't know exactly what the reason for that is. 327 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: Does that tie into Joe Burrow at all? Maybe, But 328 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: I mean in that first game, obviously they threw the 329 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 3: ball like fifty times. When Burrow came back, But I 330 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: thought they ran it pretty well against Baltimore on Thanksgiving Night. 331 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 3: I thought, I mean, what, they ran it thirty times 332 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: against Baltimore just the other day, and just it's not 333 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 3: there as efficiently as it was previously. So I'm not 334 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: sure exactly what the reason is for that. Maybe it's 335 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: as simple as Dalton Reisner is just not as good 336 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 3: of a run blocker, maybe as Jalen Rivers is. I 337 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, but yeah. 338 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 4: How worrisome is Devin a Chain in this game on Sunday. 339 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: He is third in the NFL at eleven and eighty 340 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: six rushing yards. He also leads outside of Jahar Jordan 341 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 4: for Houston, who's only ran the ball fifteen times this year. 342 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 4: A Chan has the highest average of yards per carry 343 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 4: in the league. Every rush attempts, he makes five point 344 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 4: eight yards per carry. He is also a threat in 345 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 4: the passing game as well for the Miami Dolphins. He 346 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 4: is electric in the open field. He is a matchup problem, 347 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 4: and I would say Austin the number one thing the 348 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 4: Bengals will have to contend with. Especially when you think 349 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 4: about a quarterback making his first start, what do you 350 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 4: immediately think of check downs? Easy completions. A Chan gives 351 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 4: you all of that. The Bengals are going to have 352 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 4: to do a very good job of not only identifying 353 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 4: where he's at, but making tackles when the opportunity presents 354 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 4: himself because he is so dynamic after the catch. 355 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, a Chan has elite speed, incredible quickness, 356 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: gets to the edge very very quickly. And what I 357 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 3: think is probably the most difficult thing to deal with 358 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: if you're the Bengals defense is just the various motions 359 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 3: and movement and pulling guards and counters and just getting 360 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 3: guys out in space on the edge that Miami does. 361 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 3: And is it gonna be a little bit different without 362 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: Toua Yeah, probably, But their offense is built around their 363 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: ability to run the ball and specifically to get it 364 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: out on the edge and get their players in space. 365 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 3: And that's where the Bengals have struggled all season long. 366 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 3: So I would expect to, as you mentioned, Darren Waller, 367 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 3: be a big part of the game and big part 368 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 3: of the game plan. Play action under center stuff, get 369 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: those linebackers confused. Just like every other team is teed 370 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: off against the Bengals linebackers. Here's what's interesting too about 371 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 3: you know, Devin h Chan, he's got eleven hundred yards. 372 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: The next closest running back is Ali Gordon with one 373 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety one, and he got a little bit 374 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 3: banged up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Those guys have both 375 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 3: played in fourteen games for Miami this year, so it's 376 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 3: really all Devin h Chan in the run game. So yeah, 377 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: I mean it starts and stops with them offensively. I mean, 378 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: Jalen Waddles is having a fine seasons, nothing special, but yeah, 379 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: I mean you mentioned it. Eight Chance their second leading 380 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: receiver and has well over fifteen hundred yards on purpose. 381 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 382 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 4: He's their second leading receiver Austin, but he is their 383 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 4: leading receiver when it comes to receptions sixty one catches 384 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 4: on the year. They use him again in a multitude 385 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: of ways. You're going to have to stop him now 386 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 4: on the other side of the ball. You know, it's 387 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 4: not like, by the way, another thing that's warysome Bengals 388 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 4: dead last in the NFL and rushing yards given up 389 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 4: per game at one fifty seven point nine. Those two 390 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: things don't bode well for the matchup on Sunday. But 391 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 4: this Dolphins team Austin is twenty seventh in the league. 392 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 4: They give up one hundred and thirty six on the 393 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 4: ground per game, so there are some openings. One would 394 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: think when it comes to the Miami Dolphins and their 395 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 4: defense that maybe will exploit the use of Chase Brown 396 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: or some ajp Ryn with the Bengals offense. Again, this 397 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 4: is just a loose look at this matchup as this 398 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 4: news comes down about the Dolphins benching Tua. But it's 399 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 4: a team in Miami that's susceptible to the run game, 400 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 4: and it's a team in Miami that's gonna rely heavily 401 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: on their run game on Sunday as well. 402 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: I think when you picture this game, I think you 403 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 3: kind of got to go back to the Bengals Thanksgiving 404 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: night game against Baltimore. I think it's kind of a 405 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: similar matchup and the Bengals have to get back to 406 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 3: that as the way that they play now. Obviously, Burrow 407 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 3: through the ball too many times in the first half, 408 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 3: but they controlled the clock, They were efficient, They were 409 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: effective on early downs, especially running the football. They were 410 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: able to go under center, play action, move the pocket, 411 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 3: easy completions, not asking Burrow to do a ton of 412 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 3: stuff at the line of scrimmage, not asking the offensive 413 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: line to do a ton of stuff at the line 414 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: of scrimmage. That's the type of game plan that I 415 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: think they have to get back to if they want 416 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: to be successful against the Miami Dolphins. 417 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: It it should be a fascinating matchup for many reasons. 418 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: We'll look ahead to the rest of the NFL weekend Ahead. 419 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 4: More Bengals topics and your phone calls next five one, three, seven, four, nine, 420 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 4: fifteen thirty Cincy three sixty.

He's officially retired. 464 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 3: He was the coach of the Renegades. I think, what 465 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: about the Louisville Kings. That's got to be a new one. Yeah. 466 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 4: I thought I saw something from Eric Wood at a 467 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 4: at like a Louisville King's announcement. 468 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: Probably he lives in Louisville, so okay, maybe he's a 469 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 3: part of this. Could be okay regardless. I saw Nick 470 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 3: Saban bought a share of the Nashville Predators.

Oh that's cool, So get out in the 478 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 3: community as well. So I will say this, Louisville built 479 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: a soccer stadium for their NWSL team. That is awesome. Okay, 480 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 3: it's a really cool stadium. I'm assuming that's where they'll 481 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: be playing these games at. But if you've ever been 482 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 3: to Louisville and you're like driving into downtown, that stadium 483 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: is sick. Okay, so check it out, all right, or 484 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: don't you do whatever you want?

I mean, anytime 494 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 7: we have to build a stadium in the Boston area, 495 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 7: it takes like eleven years to do it. Actually, we 496 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 7: were going to bid on the twenty twenty sixth Summer 497 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 7: Olympic games and people got all bent out of shape 498 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 7: because they were worrying about snow and out to remind 499 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 7: people it doesn't snow in July, but you know, hopefully not. Yeah, 500 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 7: this is a place where you go to go where 501 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 7: you don't want to do anything. This is like the 502 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 7: place that says no. But looking forward to the Sunday's game, 503 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 7: a few things I just want to see and it's 504 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 7: mostly about the quarterback because everything else comes secondary to him. 505 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 7: And you know, the press conference last week is demeanor 506 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 7: on the field last Sunday really so a lot of 507 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 7: character for him that, you know, I want to see 508 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 7: him being back to being himself, whether it be the 509 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 7: press conference today, the game on Sunday, Just be more 510 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 7: of himself and be the leader of the team, because Sony, 511 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 7: you quarterback to the University of Cincinnati for many years. 512 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 7: When the quarterback walks into the building and he's in 513 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 7: a dour mood and looks like he's pissed off about something, 514 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 7: I think that permeates the entire team if I'm reading 515 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 7: it right. 516 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like things start and stop with him. 517 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 4: And that's why I think him coming back with such 518 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 4: a boost for the team, because man, here's here's our guy, 519 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 4: here's Joe Burrow. 520 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 3: Now there's hope restored. 521 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 4: If Joe Burrow is dragging and Joe Burrow is struggling, 522 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 4: that's going to permeate through the rest of the locker 523 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 4: room as well, just like it would on the other 524 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 4: side of it. 525 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 7: So that question and I kind of overanalyze these things too. 526 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 7: It seems like he's a different person since the break 527 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 7: in last year, that that really affected him, as it should. 528 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 7: I mean, your home is being violated as you're on 529 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 7: the road playing a football game. It seems like that 530 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 7: really really bothered him the point where it kind of 531 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 7: soured him on the whole experience that like, I'm you know, 532 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 7: here playing I'm good in the community and some crazy 533 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 7: people break into my house. It seems like he's become 534 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 7: a little bit more defensive and kind of insular from 535 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 7: from that episode. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too 536 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 7: much into it. 537 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 4: Without a doubt, Without a doubt, it just again and 538 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 4: today it could be back to business as usual for Joe, 539 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: And I think if so, you look at that and 540 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 4: then if he bounces back on Sunday, okay, let's move forward. 541 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 4: If you get any type of Joe that we saw 542 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 4: last week. I think it would be cause for a 543 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 4: little more concern. 544 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, without question, because I don't want to see him 545 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 7: turn into Jay Kupler. I mean, it was starting to 546 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 7: look like Jake Kettler on the field, where he was 547 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 7: just kind of going through the motions, and the press 548 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 7: conference was kind of just like, you know, the world 549 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 7: is ending. 550 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: I think it's maybe he's just. 551 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 7: Going through a really, really tough spell, and you know, 552 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 7: the losing starts to beat him up. 553 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: Because there's a guy who won a. 554 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 7: National championship in college, a Heisman Trophy first three years 555 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 7: here from a turning the franchise around, and the injuries 556 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 7: add up and the losing adds up. But he's got 557 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 7: to be the guy and he's often talked about it he's. 558 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: The guy that can turn it around. And I still 559 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 3: have faith that he will do that for sure, for sure. 560 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 4: And that's the thing. We've seen him have bad games 561 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 4: before and then immediately he turns it around and he's 562 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 4: back to what we envisioned Joe Burrow. Bean, I just 563 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: think when you looked at the mental airs he made, 564 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 4: that's not normal Joe Burrow behavior. So that to me 565 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 4: is what I want to watch. Can he clean up 566 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 4: the protection checks, the things that he missed which are 567 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 4: just again so uncharacteristic for him, And then I think 568 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 4: you feel better about where he's at without question. 569 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 7: I mean, even like the sack on third down that 570 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 7: took them out of field goal range, the pick six 571 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 7: that looks like he just kind of gave up on it. 572 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 7: I didn't want him chasing the depender downs. I mean, 573 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 7: I have a rule, actually you probably would like this 574 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 7: Tony being a quarterback. If my quarterback throws an interception, 575 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 7: one of the interior alignment is to grab him, put 576 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 7: him in a bear hug, make sure he goes nowhere 577 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 7: near attack fling anybody, because we don't want to lose 578 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 7: a quarterback over something like that. They love them to 579 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 7: have a pick six that they need be just make 580 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 7: sure the quarterback's upright after that time. 581 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 3: But I'm good with that, especially playing it out down 582 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 3: the stretch now. 583 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 7: Absolutely, oh even more so now. But fellas, have a 584 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 7: great day. I'm sure we'll speak to you before Christmas and 585 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 7: not again. 586 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 3: Thanks for the time, John, Thanks lot Man. We appreciate you. 587 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 5: Mike. 588 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: What's going on? 589 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 8: Hey, Merry Christmas, bro Merry Christmas. All right, heard, Well, 590 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 8: first of all, I'm going to really go out on 591 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 8: the limb and make my Super Bowl tradiction the Rams 592 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 8: and the Broncos. Boy, I'm really really walking you are. 593 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 3: You are? 594 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 9: Wow? Barring any catastrophic injuries, which we know can happen 595 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 9: in a flash, sure Fulton can change, but the Broncos 596 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 9: are clearly the best team in the year. 597 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 5: See. 598 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird. 599 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 4: It feels like people keep waiting for them to fall back, 600 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 4: and they were underdogs at home again last week, and 601 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 4: it's just fine. They've they've not done it yet, and 602 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 4: I think people just keep waiting, but they're not They're 603 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 4: not blinking right now, They're not showing any signs that 604 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 4: that that they're going to go in the other direction. 605 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: And at this point, I think you got to kind 606 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 4: of take it for what it's worth. 607 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 5: It. 608 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 4: They are a legitimate contender, especially the way bo Nicks 609 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 4: played against that Green Bay defense. 610 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know, as well as anybody Tony, the 611 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 9: more he plays, the better he's gonna get. And he's 612 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 9: got a. 613 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: Great tutor, right Yep, without a doubt, docre. 614 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,719 Speaker 9: So that was my take a walk on the lobside prediction. 615 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 9: I heard an interesting interview with Robert Griffin and Steve 616 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 9: Young this morning, and they were both really concerned with 617 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 9: Joe's body language, what he had to say. They you know, 618 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 9: everybody loves in his talent to death and as a person, 619 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 9: but they did not, neither one of them. And you 620 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 9: got two guys that are quite a difference in age, 621 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 9: and they didn't feel good about what's happening. So I 622 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 9: just want to throw that in there. They didn't predict anything. 623 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 9: They just said, this is cause for concerns. 624 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 10: Yeah. 625 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 4: Now, that's why I think today is so interesting. In 626 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: Sunday is so interesting because if it carries over to 627 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 4: another press conference, and then that carries over to another 628 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 4: poor game, then I think everyone shares that sentiment. Right now, 629 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 4: I think people are said, Okay, he had an off game, 630 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 4: maybe it was an off week. A lot of stuff 631 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 4: could happen in someone's life and you don't want to 632 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 4: dig too far into it. If it continues, then I 633 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 4: think it certainly becomes an issue. 634 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, you can't help but think it then, right, 635 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 9: I mean, you don't have to be a football fan. 636 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 5: To figure that out. 637 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 9: Which is correcting basic psychology. This Creg Greg Stamon, guy 638 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 9: that got the San Diego job. I saw his interview. 639 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,719 Speaker 9: Big guy was in tears. He was so happy to 640 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 9: be the manager of the Padres and his family and 641 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 9: he is they love Southern California blah blah blah blah blah. 642 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 9: But I don't see him coming up of the Reds 643 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 9: any time to soon. I don't think that's gonna happen. 644 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 9: Why would you move from San Diego? Right, Yeah, I 645 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 9: don't know. I don't know why you did it. And 646 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 9: Caleb Ferguson, well, i'll tell you what. I tried so 647 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 9: hard to look Caleb Ferguson because he's kind of a 648 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 9: menacing figure on the mount. He's a big, sick dude. 649 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 9: He's a tough looking guy. He's a left hander, so 650 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 9: he got to love him. But in his stats over 651 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 9: his career are pretty good. But here's where he faltered 652 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 9: and killed the Dodgers. So many times was given up 653 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 9: the clutch base hit or the clutch home run, and 654 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 9: that is what that's why the Dodgers finally ranning. 655 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh. 656 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 4: He didn't pitch obviously well in the postseason last year 657 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 4: for the Mariners, but he is a matchup guy. I 658 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 4: think left handed believers in Major League Baseball are are 659 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 4: very important if you want to have any legitimate shot 660 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 4: at at moving on. But I do think they're you know, 661 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 4: it's it's unfortunately the type of moves that this organization 662 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 4: and has made as of late that that fulfill a 663 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 4: need but also don't bring much excitement with it as well. 664 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we're not going to pack the joint 665 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 9: because Caleb Burg, because ninety nine percent of the Reds 666 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 9: fans have never heard of the guy. Hey, Tony, have 667 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 9: you ever thought of Are all your kids right handed? 668 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: Uh? 669 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 4: My older two are? My youngest looks like he's going 670 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 4: to be a lefty right now? 671 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 9: There you go. 672 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: I know it. I'm counting on him. I'm counting on him. 673 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 5: Mike Kid. 674 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 9: My dad was ambidexterrous. He really was. It was incredible. 675 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 9: My dad could do everything with both hands and it 676 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 9: was really freaky. And he tried like hell to make 677 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 9: me into a left hander or at that time, like 678 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 9: a switch hitter in baseball. Yeah, and actually I got 679 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 9: even though on the natural right hander, I got pretty 680 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 9: good at it just by practicing it, but it was 681 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 9: never quite the same. But it just seems not in 682 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 9: football so much, but boy, in baseball, if you're left handed, 683 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 9: even if you're a hitter, they just have a prettier swing. 684 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 9: All that stuff, right, And as a pitcher, it's guaranteed 685 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 9: money for the rest of your life. 686 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 4: Yep, that's it. We're counting on him. I'm putting a 687 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 4: lot of trust in him. 688 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 9: So tie those arms behind them, behind their waist. I'll 689 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 9: see you guys. 690 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks Mikevin Goodwin.

Zach Taylor is. 700 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 4: Going to speak to the media about this upcoming game 701 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 4: against the Miami Dolphins. Put an over under on the 702 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 4: time for me. What do you think think Zach's been 703 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 4: pretty brief the last couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm gonna 704 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 4: say eleven minutes, there's less football to talk about. There's 705 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 4: really a lot less to talk about. 706 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 3: Now. We'll talk about Shamar Stewart, talk about T Higgins, 707 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 3: talk about Joe Burrow, talk about the Dolphins, to a 708 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 3: talk of aloa Quin Owers. 709 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 4: What else gets brought up? What's a question you would 710 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 4: ask today if you were down there? What's on your mind? 711 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 3: Hmm? 712 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 4: I know it's not the most pressing one. I would 713 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 4: ask what the idea is at running back down the stretch? 714 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 4: Because some I J p Ryn is either getting similar 715 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 4: carries or maybe even more carries than Chase Brown. I 716 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 4: want to know what the plan is at running back. 717 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's a mildly interesting part of it. 718 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 3: I think he'll be asked about his contract extension. Oh, 719 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 3: that's a good one. I'm sure he'll be asked about that. 720 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 3: That's a good one. What are you asking him today? 721 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, Like, have you guys changed anything? 722 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 5: You know? 723 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 3: Oh, Joe Burrow? I don't know, like is there going 724 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 3: to be a different plan in place? Does the game 725 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 3: plan change now that you're eliminated? Are you going to 726 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 3: try to protect Joe a little bit more? I know 727 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 3: all the answers to those questions, though, I think this 728 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 3: is why it would be hard for me to come 729 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 3: up just off the top of my head. 730 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 4: No, but I think there's something there that people would 731 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 4: want to know, Like, now that you are eliminated, does 732 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 4: the preparation change, does the personnel groupings change? Do your 733 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 4: substitutions change? Are you willing to give other guys more 734 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 4: looks now? 735 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 3: I think a good question based off like the running 736 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 3: back conversation is is TODs Brooks going to get more 737 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 3: looks now? Soman? 738 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 11: J P. 739 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 3: Ryan's under contract for next year as well, He's going 740 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 3: to be here. Chase Brown's going to be here, Which 741 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 3: is why I've already seen some stupid people posting about 742 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 3: the Bengals drafting Jeremiah Love, which you want to talk 743 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 3: about a crash out, I would have a crash out 744 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 3: of all crashouts running back Jeremiah Love in the first round. 745 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 3: The running back room is kind of set, but I 746 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 3: wouldn't mind taking a look at TODs Brooks just to 747 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 3: see what he's got. Are we going to see more 748 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 3: of that type of thing in the second half? And 749 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 3: you know they drafted or didn't draft, but they claimed 750 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 3: on waivers yesterday Keishawn Williams from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's 751 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 3: a return specialist, which would suggest that Charlie Jones is 752 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 3: probably gonna miss some time. What what's the severity of 753 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 3: that injury and that whole thing. 754 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 4: Outside of Trey Hendrickson on the defensive side of the ball. 755 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 4: What do you think the most intriguing or pressing question 756 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 4: is that they'll have to answer in the offseason. Is 757 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 4: it Josephosai like like I mean, like on the roster 758 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 4: right now, not free agents, not the draft, like players 759 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 4: that are on this roster. You would have to make 760 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 4: a decision on Joseph Osai. 761 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that's probably the most pressing. 762 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 4: Because I would wonder then, like down the stretch, so 763 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 4: you've got three games remaining and wins are low. I 764 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 4: know you want to win, but it's not going to 765 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 4: do anything for you. I would I would get to 766 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 4: Al Golden hopefully Duke Tobin. I'd say, Okay, what do 767 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 4: we need to see from Joseph Osai in these last 768 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 4: three weeks that either make us want to invest in 769 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 4: him or be okay moving on with him? 770 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 5: You know? 771 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 4: Is that can we see him dropping the coverage more 772 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 4: Can we see him on some stunts some more? Can 773 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 4: we line him up inside like I would want to 774 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,879 Speaker 4: do as much with Joseph Osai over the next three 775 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 4: weeks to really gauge like, Okay, this is what we 776 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 4: have or what we don't have with him? 777 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 3: You know, don't don't keep it basic. He's on a 778 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: one year deal worth a total of six and a 779 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 3: half million dollars right now. Mm hmm. I think he's 780 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: probably outplayed that sure on the open market. I would. 781 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 3: I would guess he'll get at least ten Are you 782 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 3: willing to give? That's what that see? Like that to me, 783 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 3: I don't have the answer right now, and his agent 784 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 3: is David Mulligana, so I would have to see more 785 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 3: down the stretch. Because the honest part about this, you're 786 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 3: you're saying right now, he's not reached that point for you. 787 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 788 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 4: But the interesting thing about this for me, Austin is 789 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 4: if it's not him, then who in the world is it? 790 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 3: Right? 791 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 4: I don't have anything to go on, and that's why 792 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 4: I think it is important that to get to see 793 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 4: Shamar Stewart this year, because if not, I don't know 794 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 4: what they have there. And as good as Miles Murphy's 795 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 4: been Austin. You remember down the stretch last year, Miles 796 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 4: Murphy was pretty good. Why does it take Miles Murphy 797 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 4: half or more than half of the season to start 798 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 4: playing better. Yeah, Like, I think these are all valid, 799 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 4: but I feel like I know what they have in 800 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 4: the second area or don't have. They're not gonna make 801 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 4: any startling moves at linebacker because they just drafted both 802 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 4: of them. They're gonna They're gonna give them another chance. 803 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 3: It's also not like there's a ton of free agent 804 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 3: defensive linemen available next year. Sure, so Hendrickson is the time, 805 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 3: Matthew Judon, Khalil Mack, Hassan Reddick, Joey Bosa, Malcolm Kountz, 806 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 3: Daniko Audrey, Leonard Floyd. Those guys all made ten million 807 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 3: or more. Yeah, you've got Yeter gross Matos, who I 808 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 3: just for his name alone. I would love Draymont Jones 809 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 3: from Baltimore. I wouldn't mind that Samson Abucham from Indianapolis, 810 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 3: Arden Key, Osai Fowler, aj Epenes. These are all the 811 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 3: edge rushers. Yeah, that's not like a deep group of guys. 812 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 3: So just looking at this list makes me feel like, Okay, 813 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 3: Miles Murphy and Joseph Osai are probably going to get 814 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 3: brought back ad In Shamar Stewart add in probably a 815 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 3: draft pick me and that's what you probably two draft 816 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 3: picks and maybe one of those guys. You know, there 817 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 3: are other guys out there, you know. O dafe O 818 00:42:54,520 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 3: Way I think is interesting. So it's it's it's just 819 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 3: it's hard. Right Like if I look right now, Flacco 820 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 3: is going to be a free agent, Dalton Reisner is 821 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 3: going to be a free agent, Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Osai, 822 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 3: Geno Stone, You're going back in on Genostone. No, I'm 823 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 3: good with that, Noah Fan, Lucas, Patrick, Cam Taylor, Britt, 824 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 3: Tanner Hudson. I mean, these are the types of These 825 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 3: are the guys you're going to be making decisions on. 826 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 3: I don't think there's many hard decisions to make. Cam 827 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 3: Taylor Britt with making. I mean, his market value right 828 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 3: now is fifteen million. I'm not giving that to Cam 829 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 3: Taylor Britt. You know I'm not going to give right 830 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 3: now market value on sport track dot Com for Joseph 831 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 3: Osaiah is fifteen million.

I coach every day 868 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 10: like it's my last and I've been through years in 869 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 10: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty that were literally you coach every 870 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 10: game thinking it could be your last game. And I've 871 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 10: seen how we responded after that twenty one twenty two, 872 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 10: competing for division titles and championships, and so this year 873 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 10: is no different from me. It's going through adversity coaching 874 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 10: every game in this profession like it could be your 875 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 10: last one. I have a lot of confidence in our 876 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 10: staff that we're going to get this turned around, and 877 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 10: we're going to finish the season really strong and put 878 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 10: together a great plan to get back to those championships 879 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 10: I mentioned. I'm very confident that we can do all that. 880 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 5: It is. 881 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 10: I'm not gonna respond to that. I just told you. 882 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 10: I coach every day like it's my last one. 883 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 15: But you don't get a chance to talk to ownership 884 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 15: or do we don't get that opportunity. 885 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 10: What kind of assurances have you been given? From how 886 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 10: we just talk every week every week you've talked about 887 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 10: your contractor every week we talk about everything. When was 888 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 10: the last time you spoke about your contract? And that's 889 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 10: not really part of our conversation. It's every week. We're 890 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 10: just trying to create together a great plan to win 891 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 10: football games and make sure our team's ready to go, 892 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 10: make sure I'm ready to go. So I know that's 893 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 10: of curiosity to you guys, but we're just focused on 894 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 10: being the Dolphins. 895 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 15: It's fair to say that's reassessed after the season every year, 896 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 15: you know, ask them, ask them, Yeah, we don't get 897 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 15: that chance. 898 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 10: Okay, Well I'm sorry, Okay, I'm just being straightforward with that. 899 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 3: We would ask them, Oh, we don't get that. 900 00:46:54,719 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 10: Okay, seem going through protocol. Yeah, he's still going through partle. Yeah, 901 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,919 Speaker 10: he'll be same as last week. He'll go through practice day, 902 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 10: went through the walkthrough, but again protocol, So I'm not 903 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 10: gonna make any guess his own word ends up. 904 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 3: Is anyone else out this week? 905 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 10: Chris Jenkins will be out for sure. There's some other 906 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 10: guys will work through the next couple of days, some 907 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 10: of the ones we talked about the other day, but 908 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 10: don't want to make any prediction on where they end up, 909 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 10: but Chris will be the one that's out for sure. 910 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 10: Marius looks pretty good. So again, once we get on 911 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,439 Speaker 10: the field, we'll assess this guy's better. But I felt 912 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 10: really good about Marius coming out of yesterday getting back 913 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 10: in the game. 914 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 16: At some points we didn't see traders a time. 915 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 10: I mean, what was that like. Honestly don't remember even 916 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 10: at what point it happened as we see now, so 917 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 10: just he was out at that time. It wasn't a 918 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 10: lot of conversation. We were just trying to go four points. 919 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 3: There's a confidence that ownership has has shown. 920 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 5: In You. 921 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 17: Gave you the peace of mind when you're evaluating young 922 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 17: players and trying to rebuild the defense. 923 00:47:58,360 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 10: Here's what I try to do every day, make the 924 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 10: decisions so we can win the game. And a lot 925 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 10: of that is trying to strengthen your team and your 926 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 10: roster by giving opportunity guys like that, like we've done 927 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 10: this season. So I think if you twofold, if you're 928 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 10: going to say, well, I'm going to do things because 929 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,800 Speaker 10: this could know, I want to do what's best for 930 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 10: our team and our program to win immediately, win long term. 931 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,479 Speaker 10: And so that's every decision. If if you're worried about 932 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 10: losing your job and that's how you're going to make 933 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 10: your decisions, you're not going to be very effective what 934 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 10: you do. And it's been a disappointing year, and we're 935 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 10: not going to run from that. I'm not going to 936 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,479 Speaker 10: run from that, and the blame falls at my feet, 937 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 10: nobody else's Truthfully, I got my hands all over this thing. 938 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 10: Haven't done a good enough job. I understand that. But 939 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 10: I also have seen how this staff can respond and 940 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 10: these players can respond because we've been through this before. 941 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,959 Speaker 10: This is very similar to the end of twenty twenty. 942 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 10: It felt very bleak and it was scourging, and all 943 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 10: we did was turn around to respond with back to 944 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 10: back divisional championships, which is rare to do in this division, 945 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 10: play for conference championships, play for Super Bowls. I feel 946 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 10: extreme confidence that we know how to do that, we 947 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,919 Speaker 10: know how to get back to that. And that's acause 948 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 10: exactly what in are said, are mind to. 949 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 5: Do a big thing? 950 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 17: You guys did in that offseason after twenty twenty, you 951 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 17: go get Trey, you go get multiple agents like that. 952 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 17: Are you confident in ownership given that Burrows making more 953 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 17: jams that they'll. 954 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 10: Be able to I'm confident that we're going to make 955 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 10: the best decisions for the organization. It's I got a 956 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 10: ton of belief in our coaching staff, our scouting department, 957 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 10: our ownership that we are very much in alignment with 958 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 10: every decision we've ever made here. And so again, when 959 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 10: things haven't been good enough over the course of this season, 960 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 10: there's really no one to blame other than me, truthfully, 961 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 10: and so I know we all play a piece of this, 962 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 10: but I'm the guy to get to sit there and 963 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,760 Speaker 10: talk to the team every single week and present plans 964 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 10: and make in game decisions. And so frustrating that I 965 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 10: haven't done anything job this year, but a ton of confidence, 966 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 10: and maybe it rings hollow to everyone listening, but I 967 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 10: know that we've been here before and I've seen how 968 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 10: we can get out the other side. I'm very confident 969 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 10: we're going to get that done. 970 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 17: Taken criticism certainly publicly, why do you? 971 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 5: Because I know you believe in them? Why do you? 972 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,319 Speaker 10: Because I've worked side by side with him for seven 973 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 10: years now and I have a ton of confidence and 974 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 10: how he sees things and the vision he's got and 975 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 10: the vision that we have together our scouting. Our scouting 976 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 10: staff does a great job, and it's it's rare that 977 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 10: you get a chance to have like a really personal 978 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 10: relationship with them and see them and be on the 979 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 10: same page and communicate the way that we do. It's 980 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 10: not that way everywhere, and so I really like to 981 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 10: set up we have and I think it works well 982 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 10: for us and we'll work really well for us going forward. 983 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,959 Speaker 10: You'd have to ask him he's been He's been great 984 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,320 Speaker 10: so far to my eye. We haven't gotten on the 985 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 10: field yet. But again, when you guys get that opportunity, 986 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 10: can ask you anticipate in practice today Joe Burrow, Yes, 987 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,879 Speaker 10: I do have a very minor lib good lock. 988 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 15: Nothing if you're monitoring that closely. 989 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 18: Especially now the team out clicking at the roster, it's 990 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 18: a very high percentage of guys who have never played 991 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 18: in the playoffs here. 992 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 10: Yeah, how you had to adjust the. 993 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 18: Way you present the things you teach considering that so 994 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 18: many guys just. 995 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 10: Don't know what that's like. Yeah, but a lot of 996 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 10: it is we've we've got a rhythm that we think 997 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 10: serves us well. We're never afraid to modify anything over 998 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 10: of course of the week. We do that you do 999 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,839 Speaker 10: in on the coaching staff. Who's who's been in those 1000 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 10: games you mentioned, we got a lot of players in 1001 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 10: our team that have been in those games. And then again, 1002 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 10: we feel like we've accumulated a lot of guys that 1003 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 10: have won, whether it just be at the college level, 1004 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 10: if they're new to our team, and that's that's a 1005 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 10: big part of it. So again, that hasn't gotteness where 1006 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 10: we need to be this year, but they're certainly winning 1007 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 10: attitude in the locker room and guys understand what the 1008 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 10: standard looks like and do a good job holding each 1009 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 10: other through that. 1010 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 18: Has this been a year where you've kind of felt 1011 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 18: kind of a story of that year has been the 1012 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,480 Speaker 18: youth and then you trying to step up and do 1013 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 18: more and go through that process. 1014 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, there's an element of that, and there's always going 1015 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 10: to be years where you find that, you know, where 1016 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 10: you're trying to balance the best you have on the 1017 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 10: team and trying to really bring along young players so 1018 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 10: that they can presently be good players for you and 1019 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 10: continue to develop and you can be in a good 1020 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 10: spot in the future. So I feel like if you 1021 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 10: look at all six of the rookies we got, we 1022 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 10: put them all out there, and we've got a chance 1023 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 10: to watch them all play and grow, and I think 1024 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 10: it's a really exciting class. And I know that we 1025 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 10: hit on all six of them, and I feel really 1026 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 10: good about it. And so we'll just we'll just keep building. 1027 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 19: When the team's out of playoff, contention usually goes to 1028 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 19: maybe developing younger players and focusing on that instead of 1029 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 19: making But why is that maybe not a consideration for all. 1030 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 10: We've played all six of our rookies so well in 1031 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 10: terms of even just further. 1032 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 19: Down the roster, uh bottom, everybody, whether the rookies or not, 1033 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 19: instead of trying to. 1034 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 10: I think we're actively doing that. I think we've we've 1035 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 10: tried to do that all season, and we'll continue to 1036 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 10: do it over the next couple of games on Mondays. 1037 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 15: One way he would describe DJ Turner is very driven, 1038 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 15: climbing all the time, especially this season. Your thoughts on DJ, 1039 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 15: and I know you've talked about his Pro Bowl potential. 1040 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, what are your thoughts. 1041 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 13: Of why he's done so well? 1042 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 10: Well, I think again, he's in his third year, so 1043 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 10: he's had a chance to learn from two years of 1044 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 10: experience of the ups and downs that you do with 1045 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 10: in this profession, you do with playing in corner, you know, 1046 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,280 Speaker 10: and going against all the guys he's got to go against. 1047 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 10: And so I've often mentioned that the conversation he and 1048 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 10: I had in training camp, you know, coming out of 1049 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,760 Speaker 10: training camp and he's coming off of an injury before 1050 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 10: week one, and his response was just consistent with all 1051 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 10: the work that he's really put in over the summer, 1052 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 10: and so now there's just this extreme consistency there. He's 1053 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 10: got a confidence that comes with that. Like I really 1054 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,760 Speaker 10: you can see when a guy has earned the confidence. 1055 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 10: There's a lot of guys that can walk around with 1056 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 10: arrogance or brashness because they're talented, but the work ethic 1057 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 10: doesn't necessarily match the talent that they have. DJ is 1058 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 10: a guy who's confidence sims from the work he's put in, 1059 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 10: and so we've all seen it as players and coaches, 1060 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,439 Speaker 10: and so to see him go out there and play 1061 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 10: with the consistency he has, it makes you really proud 1062 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 10: of him, because a guy who's just all right, I'm 1063 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 10: facing a little bit of adversity. I'm not starting the 1064 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 10: week one. I was just told I'm not starting. I 1065 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,800 Speaker 10: think I should be. Didn't say anything about his teammates, 1066 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 10: thought that they were very deserving the opportunity they got. 1067 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 10: I'm just going to go work, and that's what he did. 1068 00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 10: He got his opportunity and he's made the most of it. 1069 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 10: Think he's having a Pro Bowl year, and so it's 1070 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 10: just I think proud is the first we're in. Not 1071 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 10: that I I have anything to do. I don't go 1072 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 10: out there coach the corners. That's Chuck, that's him, that's 1073 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 10: out and everything that they're doing. But I am proud 1074 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 10: just to know the person and the response I've seen 1075 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,760 Speaker 10: from him. That's leadership. Like when you talk about leadership, 1076 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 10: developing leadership, it doesn't always have to be loud and 1077 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 10: vocal and all that stuff something like, cause it can 1078 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:23,360 Speaker 10: be a go out there and I'm just gonna do 1079 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 10: my job and make sure everyone knows I'm dependable and 1080 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,359 Speaker 10: they can count on me. And that's that's exactly who 1081 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 10: DJ Turner has been this year. Absolutely absolutely. 1082 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 3: Do you think Samana has a shot this week? 1083 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:36,920 Speaker 5: And before? 1084 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 10: Because before you went, you know, as involved, what. 1085 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 3: Did you see from himything? 1086 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 10: I saw a guy that was fighting through injury, you know, 1087 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 10: And and so I think he's just had a tough 1088 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 10: go of it this season. And and it's because just 1089 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 10: things that have happened to him on the field. And 1090 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 10: so I don't want to make any declarations about this 1091 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 10: week because we haven't got out there and practice yet. 1092 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 10: I want to make sure we see him practice and 1093 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 10: he's got the confidence of that, We've got the compass 1094 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 10: that before we put him back out there. So again 1095 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 10: that's completely up in the air really as we watch 1096 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,799 Speaker 10: him go through the week. But I like he sits 1097 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 10: in the front road of the team meetings. Man, He's 1098 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 10: He's always on me when I'm up there presenting. He 1099 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 10: does a great job taking it all. In Jerry's office 1100 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 10: is right next to mine. You know, I can see 1101 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,399 Speaker 10: the attitude he's got every single day, and so I'm 1102 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 10: fired up when when we do get him out there, 1103 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 10: whether it's this week or not, for the future that 1104 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 10: he's got here, because he's a guy that I'm really 1105 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:25,800 Speaker 10: high on. 1106 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 3: He seemed pretty active, I mean like in August. 1107 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,399 Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, he didn't have much of absolutely spring. 1108 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 3: He just seemed to be active before you hear anything. 1109 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 10: Jack, Yeah, and he was healthy, you know, and then 1110 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 10: said to fight through the injuries. That's tough to evaluate 1111 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 10: any rookie when they're fighting through injuries. We had that 1112 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 10: last year with Chris, we had Am McKinley, we had 1113 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 10: we had some guys that just got dinged up during 1114 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,320 Speaker 10: the season and they fight through it, just like Shamar 1115 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 10: has done. And so I look forward to get him 1116 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 10: on the field and letting him make an impact for 1117 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 10: us because I know what he's healthy, he'll be able 1118 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 10: to do that. 1119 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 18: I was thinking about this going back to Miami, and 1120 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,479 Speaker 18: then you mentioned lessons from twenty nineteen and twenty twenty. 1121 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 18: In twenty nineteen in Miami, what did it end up meaning? 1122 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 18: The way Voyd like fought back to the line of 1123 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 18: scrimmage in that one moment when it was hurt and 1124 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,359 Speaker 18: kind of hoping to see some similar things down. 1125 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, it shows the heart and the character of the 1126 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 10: guys we have that they just want to win. You know, 1127 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 10: you tune out the outside noise, and you tune out, 1128 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 10: you know, anybody making a comments to you about a draft, 1129 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,359 Speaker 10: and none of that's just nonsense. We put every second 1130 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 10: of our livelihood into winning games and doing everything we 1131 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 10: can to represent ourselves the right way. And so these 1132 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 10: types of games are big character games. You get a 1133 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,719 Speaker 10: chance to reveal what we're made of. You know, we 1134 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,839 Speaker 10: know we're not going to the playoffs, but you still 1135 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 10: get a chance to go out there and fight like 1136 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 10: we did in twenty nineteen. And you know, I remember 1137 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,239 Speaker 10: Eifert picking up TV on triple in and helping them 1138 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 10: get up and we clocked the ball and then we 1139 00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 10: throw a vertigo for touchdown the next play. And all 1140 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 10: this tape that we still use today is represented by 1141 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 10: those guys that started this process for me, you know, 1142 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 10: the TVs and the geos of the world, and the 1143 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 10: cjs and the guys that fought to build the culture 1144 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 10: and the foundation that we kept building on over all 1145 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,040 Speaker 10: these years. And we got the guys. The guys in 1146 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 10: the locker room are doing the same thing right now. 1147 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 10: Is disappointing where we're at, but we're still have a 1148 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 10: foundation that we're going to continue to build on and 1149 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 10: so we can go win divisional titles and conference titles 1150 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 10: and Super Bowls in the future. 1151 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 17: Part of you like when you met Joe, Thank goodness 1152 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 17: week we got out of Miami losing because we get Joe. 1153 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 10: No, no, it's you couldn't look at it like that. Well, again, 1154 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 10: that's just doing a disservice to the work we put 1155 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 10: in every single day. If you say, oh, you want 1156 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 10: to go lose a football like, absolutely not that you know. 1157 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 10: I don't think people really understand what the next morning 1158 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 10: feels like for us when we lose the game, what 1159 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 10: the bus ride feels like, what the plane ride feels like. Well, 1160 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 10: we're getting out the next day and doing whatever you 1161 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 10: got to do and trying to get the guys going 1162 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 10: again on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday to get ready to 1163 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 10: play on Sunday. But it does your fair none of that. 1164 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 10: So we fight every second to win football games. We 1165 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 10: don't for one second tolerate anybody that says we should 1166 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 10: do this or that and not focus on winning. So 1167 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 10: that's what I love when I have a team meeting 1168 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 10: this morning and you just look in their eyes. Everybody's 1169 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 10: on the same page. Everyone knows what's at stake here. 1170 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 10: What's at stak is we need to win the games 1171 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 10: we feel better and so that we can build some 1172 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 10: momentum ourselves and then go win the next one and 1173 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 10: then do things we got to do in the off 1174 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 10: season to keep improving our team. But that's our only 1175 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 10: focus right now is finding a way to go down 1176 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 10: to Miami, win the game, get on the bus, and 1177 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 10: the point with a smile on our face because it's 1178 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 10: been too few of those this year. Thanks you're there. 1179 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 14: Going back to what you were talking about with the setup, 1180 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 14: and you talked about how much you love the input 1181 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 14: you get to have with the scouts and the setup here. 1182 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 14: How willing is the organization And I'll ask this to 1183 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 14: you too, but centrire big part of. 1184 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 3: The draft process is to look at you guys. 1185 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 14: Had a lot of success that you've talked about with 1186 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 14: that twenty one and twenty two seasons, but the last 1187 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 14: couple of seasons with them all ending and losing seasons, 1188 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 14: how willing is everybody to look at the process and 1189 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 14: maybe make tweaks and changes to it if. 1190 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 10: Need Yeah, I think for a lot of the reasons 1191 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 10: everything was praised in twenty one and twenty two and 1192 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 10: then you have down years and it's ok, you need 1193 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 10: to change everything. Well, where were those comments when we 1194 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 10: were doing it very similarly and we are ever a 1195 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 10: great year. So for us, everybody is always open to evolving. 1196 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 10: I can't speak for everybody, but I know just from 1197 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 10: dealing with everybody in this building. Everyone wants to win 1198 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 10: and do everything it takes to win, and so I 1199 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 10: know that better than anybody because I interact with everybody, 1200 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 10: and so I feel extreme confidence that we're all on 1201 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 10: the same page. All we want to do is win 1202 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,479 Speaker 10: and bring championships here to Cincinnati, and we'll do whatever 1203 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 10: it takes to put it specific words on how that's 1204 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 10: going to look. That's all for us behind the scenes 1205 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 10: to work through it and make sure we do all that. 1206 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 10: But I have absolute confidence that we have the right 1207 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 10: people and the right setups to make this happen, because 1208 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 10: we've proven it and we'll prove it again. 1209 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 17: You believe ownership in the front office feels the same 1210 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 17: way about it. 1211 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 10: I don't want to speak for anybody, and I get 1212 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,320 Speaker 10: what Mike just said, but I have a great relationship 1213 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 10: with them. I believe in them. I don't ever want 1214 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,360 Speaker 10: to speak for someone when they're speaking about me. That's unfair. 1215 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 10: I shouldn't do that. But I love the relationship I 1216 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 10: have with everyone in this building. Unique thing about this 1217 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 10: is we get the meet so often, and that's a 1218 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 10: really good thing because there's no three weeks of no 1219 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,360 Speaker 10: communication face to face. I'm wondering what they think about 1220 01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 10: a game, what they think about none of that. We 1221 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 10: get a chance to form a relationship and go through 1222 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 10: all this stuff and it's the right way to do it. 1223 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 10: And so again I'm excited for to finish out this 1224 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,920 Speaker 10: season the right way and for the future as well. 1225 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 16: Like Miami made a change at our quarterback, looks like 1226 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 16: the Quins. 1227 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 10: I haven't seen that. I mean, I know that was 1228 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 10: a report, I haven't heard Mike McDaniel say that. So 1229 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 10: until that, they've got a really good offense. I think 1230 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 10: that Mike does a great job with the scheme. I 1231 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 10: don't want to call it unique because we've seen it 1232 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 10: over the years with him at different places. But he 1233 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 10: does a really good job being creative and stressing you 1234 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 10: in different ways maybe that some other teams don't in 1235 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 10: the run game, and not afraid to be very creative 1236 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 10: with how he does it. And so got a lot 1237 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 10: of respect for Mike McDaniel and the job he does. 1238 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 10: And I know they ran into some circumstances in Pittsburgh 1239 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 10: and cold weather and that's that's a good team. But 1240 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 10: it's a it's a very difficult offense, regardless of who 1241 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 10: the quarterback is. They put a lot of stressing in 1242 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 10: the run game. They do a great job getting guys 1243 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 10: open with a lot of speed in the past game 1244 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 10: that can finish on exposive plays, and so it's a 1245 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 10: very challenging group to go against. 1246 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 16: You drafted a quarterback in a while, even the late 1247 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 16: rounds has that this year was at considerational know y'all 1248 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 16: swop through the QB and three a lot this offseason. 1249 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 16: Was it a consideration and maybe see what you can 1250 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 16: get the seven. 1251 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 10: We always evaluate, you know, we always evaluate who's out 1252 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 10: there and how they fit us, put up against another position, 1253 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 10: put up against our quarterback room. And obviously we've we've 1254 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 10: done what we've done. 1255 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 20: Zach when you, I know you're focused obviously just on 1256 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 20: winning the game in front you. With three games left, 1257 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 20: what do you want to see out of guys that 1258 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 20: are no maybe outside of the four guys that you 1259 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 20: have that when you when you go at the end 1260 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 20: of the season started valuating and. 1261 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 3: Figure out what you need to for twenty twenty six, 1262 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 3: what can. 1263 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 20: Guys show in these last three games to show that 1264 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 20: they should be part of what you had a part 1265 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 20: of the play before you get figure out what you 1266 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,919 Speaker 20: need to add or improve on the team to get back. 1267 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 10: To continue on the same trajectory. A lot of these 1268 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 10: guys are on you know, I think with any player 1269 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 10: at the beginning of their career, guys that have gone 1270 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 10: on the field for us have have truly you can 1271 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 10: truthfully say you've gotten better every single game. And so 1272 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 10: just to continue on with that and all the work 1273 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 10: that these guys are put in over of course their careers, 1274 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 10: but really starting back in January of getting putting together 1275 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 10: great offseason, all the work they put in the summer 1276 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 10: training camp, going through this season like it's you don't 1277 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 10: stop now just because of the circumstances we're in. So 1278 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 10: I expect these guys to continue to give their best. 1279 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 10: I know they will. And to your question, what are 1280 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 10: young guys? You just want to see him continue on 1281 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 10: the same trajectory we've seen them on, especially this last 1282 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 10: couple weeks. All right, thank you, all right. 1283 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 3: There we have at Austin. It's my favorite one of 1284 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 3: the year. That's by far. 1285 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 4: I thought that was as much pushback as we've heard 1286 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,600 Speaker 4: Zach take at a press conference in quite some time. 1287 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 3: I don't really know if I agree with Zach that 1288 01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 3: he said they hit on all six picks this year. 1289 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 3: There is a jury still out on that. I don't 1290 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 3: fully believe the relationship with Duke and working side by side. 1291 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 3: Along with what he had to say about the scouting department, 1292 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 3: he did take ownership and said I'm the one to 1293 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 3: blame for this, no one else, I'm the one to blame. 1294 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 3: He also made mention of how much he's talking to 1295 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:27,320 Speaker 3: ownership weekly. Yeah, and that is a unique thing about 1296 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 3: this job, is the Monday meetings with ownership. Marvin Lewis 1297 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 3: has talked about this over the years. It's something that 1298 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 3: happens does not happen across the NFL, and I do 1299 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 3: think that that can lead to a very clear understanding 1300 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 3: of where you stand within the organization. Sure, and you 1301 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 3: know we know this about Mike Brown. He will not 1302 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 3: mince his words. He will be very straightforward when talking 1303 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 3: about how he feels or what he thinks. I always 1304 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 3: think of Andre Smith walking into his office on Hard 1305 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,760 Speaker 3: Knocks and Mike Brown basically said, you need to lose 1306 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 3: some weight, big boy, And like even the way that 1307 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 3: he addressed Trey Hendrickson at Mock Turtle Soup Day this year, 1308 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 3: Mike Brown's not afraid to tell you what he thinks. Nope. 1309 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 3: And I do think that's a good thing for a 1310 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,280 Speaker 3: head coach in the NFL each week, to be able 1311 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 3: to have those conversations. I don't understand why Zach would 1312 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:31,720 Speaker 3: not confirm his contract status. Yeah, it was weird how 1313 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 3: he went around that. I don't understand why. What's the 1314 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 3: purpose of not confirming that? Correct that I agree with that. 1315 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,760 Speaker 3: I would love to get an answer is why can't. 1316 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 5: We know that?

Traggs is 1319 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 3: adamant and he has been for a week couple weeks now. 1320 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 3: We don't get to talk to anyone else. That's that's 1321 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 3: Trike's thing, like, we don't get to hear from anyone else, 1322 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 3: so you have to tell us yeah.

Yes, Zach kind of stepped in it 1328 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 3: by saying you would have to ask them, because that 1329 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,600 Speaker 3: throws the alley you for Trags to dunk and say 1330 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 3: we don't get to talk to them, yea, And after that, 1331 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 3: Zach doesn't have anything he can say. It is, you know, 1332 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 3: unfortunate that Zach has to be the guy. We would 1333 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 3: love more transparency from Duke and ownership. It's not going 1334 01:05:54,120 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 3: to happen.

They got 1367 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 25: their starting safety to agree to take a pay cut, 1368 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 25: then they beat Shamar Stewart and his agent and forced 1369 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 25: him to take the forfeiture provision and his rookie contract. 1370 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 25: Only two members of the Ring of Honor called him 1371 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 25: out for being a Cheapskatee Boomera and Corey Dillon. And lastly, 1372 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 25: he saved a much bunch of money by not having 1373 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 25: to pay someone to remove the snow from the stadium. 1374 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 25: It was a great year for Mike Brown and the Bengals. 1375 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:11,439 Speaker 26: Tony quick question. 1376 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 24: I see your boy Jesus back on the team, and 1377 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 24: it kind of shows how desperate Wes is to get 1378 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 24: this thing going in the right. 1379 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:23,879 Speaker 27: Direction, which I understand. 1380 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 24: But I just can't see Huggins or Cronin allowing someone 1381 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 24: back on the team after all that's happened. 1382 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 5: I mean, what's your opinion. 1383 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 3: I think it's a I think it's a desperate play. 1384 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 3: I don't think that Wes Miller has has many other 1385 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 3: plays left in the playbook. That would be my thought. 1386 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 5: I now present to you the relationship between Bengals fans 1387 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:46,759 Speaker 5: and Mike Brown. 1388 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:54,680 Speaker 28: Do you really think about it? 1389 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 13: Hey, Audie, I heard you yesterday that you really enjoying 1390 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:11,560 Speaker 13: your sasty. 1391 01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:12,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1392 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 3: Head mask. 1393 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,200 Speaker 13: People don't know what it is. It's like a you know, 1394 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 13: something like a ski mask or whatever that goes over 1395 01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 13: your whole head and covers your mouth. In fact, I 1396 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 13: think you should wear it in the studio to cover 1397 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 13: your mouth and I can stand behind you and tighten 1398 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 13: it down so your lips don't move. 1399 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 5: Wow. 1400 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 3: Wow, today it's freezing in here. Even given the Bengals 1401 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 3: pathetic history of losing. 1402 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 27: The backup quarterbacks, if we do lose to Quinn Ewrs, 1403 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 27: the whole thing needs to be burnt down and restarted. 1404 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 3: That guy is a bomb. Wow, he did get that 1405 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,640 Speaker 3: Christmas tree to jump off side. The other week. You know, 1406 01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow or Zach Taylor was saying coaches every game 1407 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 3: like it's his last. If he loses to Quinn Yours, 1408 01:09:58,080 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 3: it might be as life could be. 1409 01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 29: What anecdotal evidence is there to suggest Joe Burrow actually 1410 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 29: likes playing for Zach Taylor Other than Joe not trashing 1411 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,719 Speaker 29: Zach publicly, we all just assume Joe likes Zach. 1412 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 5: How do we know that? 1413 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 29: Do you think Joe wants to play the entirety of 1414 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 29: his career for Zach Taylor. This is absurd. By the way, 1415 01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 29: playing Joe these last three weeks makes no sense whatsoever. 1416 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 29: Can you imagine if he suffers yet another catastrophic injury. 1417 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:35,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's players want to play and they're paid well 1418 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,960 Speaker 3: to play. Coaches should have the best interest for those players. 1419 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,640 Speaker 3: I just like you heard Zach talk about it. You 1420 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 3: heard Travis Kelsey talk about it, like, guys, aren't just 1421 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 3: going to quit playing football?

And also my second question 1474 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,559 Speaker 27: would be for Tony, do you have any eligibility left 1475 01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 27: that you could help out during the bowl game. 1476 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 3: I'm out of eligibility. I'm more of one that that 1477 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,040 Speaker 3: I would rather get the higher draft pick.

Is that what you were going for? 1655 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,479 Speaker 3: He's going to touch base with us. 1656 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:37,160 Speaker 4: We'll take a break mercifully thanks to since he starts 1657 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 4: at sinty three six on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 1658 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 2: This is an in the NATI gruntch you in part 1659 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 2: by bod Light and by Oakley Greens on ESPN fifteen thirty, 1660 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,799 Speaker 2: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 1661 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 4: Dove into this a little bit earlier this week, as 1662 01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,759 Speaker 4: we dive back into Cincy three sixty Austin. 1663 01:22:59,120 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 8: UH. 1664 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,240 Speaker 4: The week sixteen schedule across the National Football League should 1665 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 4: set up to be a very good one, starting with 1666 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,479 Speaker 4: tomorrow night. Does the winner of rams Seahawks Austin in 1667 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 4: your opinion, have the front have the easiest path to 1668 01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,200 Speaker 4: the super Bowl, And I won't say easiest, but do 1669 01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 4: they have your path to the super Bowl? Is it 1670 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:21,920 Speaker 4: one of those two teams? 1671 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,599 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think that whoever wins that, that's who you think. 1672 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,600 Speaker 3: Whoever's the number one seed in the NFC, which is 1673 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 3: probably going to be one of those two teams. Yeah, 1674 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,360 Speaker 3: I think would be my favorite in the NFC. That 1675 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 3: being said, who do you trust more? 1676 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:42,320 Speaker 5: In that one? 1677 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 3: Tomorrow night? Seahawks? 1678 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:49,080 Speaker 4: Fantastic defense, but it's Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay. It's 1679 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,639 Speaker 4: essentially a Pickham Who do you trust more? 1680 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,240 Speaker 3: Seattle right now? Really? Yeah, I've had the same philosophy 1681 01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 3: for years now. Now, the Rams did sneak by the 1682 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:04,519 Speaker 3: Seahawks the first time around. Yeah, home, short week primetime games. Yeah, 1683 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 3: in the division, I'm always going to go at the home. 1684 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 4: That was the game in which Sam Darnold threw four 1685 01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,840 Speaker 4: interceptions and they still and it was still a twenty 1686 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 4: one to nineteen game. 1687 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1688 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,200 Speaker 3: But Sean McVay just had a kid. Oh so there's 1689 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,360 Speaker 3: that potential dad strength. Sure that gets brought into the equation. 1690 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 4: Now from Thursday to Saturday, and I'm just going Marquee 1691 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 4: games here, Packers Bears should be a doozy at Soldier 1692 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 4: Field Sunday. Every Bills game now is important because of 1693 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 4: the gap that they made up on the New England Patriots, 1694 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 4: and the Patriots have to travel to Baltimore on Sunday 1695 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,760 Speaker 4: Night football. That's a massive game. Other games, you're looking 1696 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,679 Speaker 4: at teams that are just trying to avoid a bad loss. 1697 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 4: Chargers against the Cowboys, who are essentially eliminated, Chiefs Titans. 1698 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:57,639 Speaker 4: I could really care less. Buccaneers Panthers. Are we sleeping 1699 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 4: on this one at all? Both teams tied and division 1700 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 4: That's a spicy game. Yeah, they played twice down the 1701 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,519 Speaker 4: stretch Buccaneers Panthers Sunday in the one o'clock window. How 1702 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 4: about the Jags Broncos. Broncos obviously riding high, but this 1703 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,600 Speaker 4: Jaguar team Austin, you were on them early in the 1704 01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 4: season under Liam Cohen. This is the most confident I 1705 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:23,719 Speaker 4: think we've seen. Trevor Lawrence. I agree with that Steelers Lions, 1706 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 4: put up or shut up? Time for the Detroit Lions, 1707 01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,879 Speaker 4: as I mentioned, Patriots Ravens, and then Monday Night Football 1708 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 4: you get the Niners taking on Philip Rivers and the 1709 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,400 Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. It should be a 1710 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 4: fantastic and fun Week sixteen in the NFL College Football 1711 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 4: Playoff games.

Nice 1731 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 4: enough to join us today, Chad, how are you doing. 1732 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 5: Good? It was Kean not available today or well? 1733 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,880 Speaker 4: With news like this, Chad, you got to go right 1734 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 4: right to the top of the food chain. I feel like, okay, okay, 1735 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:19,679 Speaker 4: you and I have spoke. 1736 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 3: We spoke about this on air last time. 1737 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 4: I think you filled in for Moegger about Gisel James 1738 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,960 Speaker 4: just kind of being around, and you know, he's being 1739 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,679 Speaker 4: showed on the jumbo tron and then all of a sudden, 1740 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,719 Speaker 4: I flip on the game over the weekend at Georgia 1741 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:37,360 Speaker 4: and he traveled and he's there in Georgia with the team. 1742 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 4: And fast forward to today, we know now that Gigsel 1743 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 4: James is back on the roster. What has changed from 1744 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,479 Speaker 4: the statements we've heard all along from west Miller that 1745 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 4: he's not going to be on the team this year, 1746 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,800 Speaker 4: but he's around the team. What has changed from then 1747 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 4: to now? 1748 01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,719 Speaker 5: Well, then they were either undefeated or had a close 1749 01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:04,400 Speaker 5: lot off against Louisville, and now they're six and four 1750 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 5: and about to go into the Big twelve. So I mean, 1751 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,160 Speaker 5: you know, we can get into this a million different ways. 1752 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 5: And I can tell you there's concerns about Dalen Cells 1753 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 5: team's back, and Tyler McKinley's knee, and with Jaleen Haynes 1754 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,960 Speaker 5: already out there, they're getting pretty low on numbers. And 1755 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,600 Speaker 5: you know those things are to an extent true, but 1756 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 5: they need a spark, they need they better find something 1757 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:39,080 Speaker 5: because what they're doing isn't working. And on January third, 1758 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:43,679 Speaker 5: you host Houston, and if you're going to figure it out, 1759 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 5: the time to figure it out. That clock is ticking. 1760 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 5: Gizzl is that practice. He's been working with the team, 1761 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 5: So I guess you see if it works. 1762 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,240 Speaker 4: So for me, it's one thing to say, Okay, Jizzle's 1763 01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,080 Speaker 4: back on the team. It's another thing to say, Okay, 1764 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 4: how does Jizzle impact this team. Kirk Crisa has not 1765 01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 4: been what the Bearcats I think had hoped in any 1766 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,599 Speaker 4: sense that he would be. I know Tillery has seen 1767 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 4: his minutes diminishing. You still have Daydae Thomas. We watched 1768 01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 4: Day Day and Jizzle a lot last year. How does 1769 01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 4: he help this team at the guard position? 1770 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:23,479 Speaker 5: He gives you a high major guard. And look, there 1771 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 5: are reasons to be concerned about Jizzle's overall game. I 1772 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 5: talked about it a lot last year. He's inefficient. He 1773 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 5: takes a lot of tough twos, he doesn't shoot well 1774 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,519 Speaker 5: from three, he doesn't get to the free throw line 1775 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 5: a lot. For a team that's struggling in offensive efficiency. 1776 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:49,560 Speaker 5: This isn't just a you know, plug this guy in 1777 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,720 Speaker 5: and all of a sudden the offense is going to 1778 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 5: be fixed in a lot of ways. But he's also 1779 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 5: a guy that scores a lot of points for a 1780 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:02,400 Speaker 5: team that struggles to score points. Yeah, so some of 1781 01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,800 Speaker 5: it you're going to have to And look, they've lived 1782 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,439 Speaker 5: with it for two years. They're going to live with 1783 01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:09,600 Speaker 5: it for the rest of this year. It looks like, like, 1784 01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 5: you know that there are some shortcomings, some things that 1785 01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 5: he doesn't exactly you know, do that jump off the page. 1786 01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:22,800 Speaker 5: But you can put the ball in his hands and 1787 01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 5: you're pretty confident that he's going to be able to 1788 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,640 Speaker 5: put points on the board. It might be you know, 1789 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 5: four of thirteen putting points on the board, but you're 1790 01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 5: adding a guy that can get you fifteen to twenty 1791 01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 5: points on any given night for a team that's struggling 1792 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 5: to score like that, that's the most obvious thing. I think. 1793 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,560 Speaker 4: Is there a confidence issue in the team anytime a 1794 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,679 Speaker 4: team struggles early in the season, I would I would 1795 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 4: believe you you worry about confidence. Does this bearcat roster 1796 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:57,000 Speaker 4: at this point in your opinion have a confidence issue? 1797 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 5: I think that your game would say absolutely, because you know, 1798 01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:08,280 Speaker 5: at the early points of that game, things looked really good. 1799 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,599 Speaker 5: But then you know they held up, like they got 1800 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,560 Speaker 5: out to that nine point lead, and they held it 1801 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,439 Speaker 5: for a while, and you're looking at it and going, Okay, 1802 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 5: we didn't see like Louisville. They got up early, and 1803 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 5: then Louisville erased that deficit in the blank of an eye, right, 1804 01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,639 Speaker 5: But then the problem started and Georgia started to get 1805 01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,599 Speaker 5: going a little bit, and Cincinnati didn't have any answers, 1806 01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,120 Speaker 5: and then as you got through the second half that 1807 01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:40,679 Speaker 5: progressively got worse. That tells me there's a confidence issue. 1808 01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:45,280 Speaker 5: That tells me that they don't have anything that they 1809 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 5: really believe. Then to stop the bleeding, you know, I 1810 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 5: think there was a point in the second half they 1811 01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 5: were down seven, they had gotten a couple stops, and 1812 01:31:55,320 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 5: if the offense had been functional and productive, you can 1813 01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 5: get right back in that game. And that's It's an 1814 01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,280 Speaker 5: okay Georgia team. I think they're going to be fine 1815 01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 5: in the SEC, but I don't think they're going to 1816 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,599 Speaker 5: be competing for an SEC championship like that big team. 1817 01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 5: You should be able to get back in that game 1818 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 5: and at worst, you know, battle to the end. And 1819 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:22,160 Speaker 5: instead they had a couple possessions go the wrong way 1820 01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,080 Speaker 5: and next thing you know, it's thirteen, then it's fifteen, 1821 01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:31,000 Speaker 5: then it's seventeen. And that tells me, Yeah, they're searching 1822 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:36,599 Speaker 5: for what do we do when you know, when things 1823 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,000 Speaker 5: stop working, how do we get out of it? How 1824 01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,639 Speaker 5: do we get back on track? And I think we've 1825 01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,800 Speaker 5: seen that in all these games that they've lost or 1826 01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:47,720 Speaker 5: the games that they haven't played well in. They play 1827 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 5: well in fits and starts. They'll play well for five 1828 01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:53,559 Speaker 5: seven minute stretches, and then there'll be a ten minute 1829 01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:55,880 Speaker 5: stretch that it looked like, you know, they all just 1830 01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,200 Speaker 5: met each other in June. And that's not conduced the 1831 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 5: winning at a high level? 1832 01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 14: Is it? 1833 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:06,760 Speaker 4: And I get you turn back to Jisel and maybe 1834 01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 4: you find a spark there. You know this team better 1835 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:13,000 Speaker 4: than anyone, Chad is Is it too late for this 1836 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,599 Speaker 4: team to turn this season around? When you look at 1837 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:22,080 Speaker 4: I'm watching a lot of basketball. Arizona BYU Houston. You 1838 01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:23,640 Speaker 4: can go up and down the list, teams in the 1839 01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,800 Speaker 4: top ten, teams in the top twenty five, teams that 1840 01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,440 Speaker 4: are just outside the top twenty five. You watch basketball, 1841 01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,120 Speaker 4: You've watched this team, and I know they have talented players. 1842 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:34,960 Speaker 4: Is it too late for this team to turn it around? 1843 01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 4: Or do you see a path in which they could 1844 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 4: get things turned around for this season? 1845 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,000 Speaker 5: I have a hard time seeing it, if we're being honest. 1846 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:48,200 Speaker 5: I mean, you've got six or seven teams at the 1847 01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,240 Speaker 5: top of this league. I just don't how do they 1848 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:58,720 Speaker 5: beat Houston. Arizona BYU Texas Tech. Yeah, you know, you 1849 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,880 Speaker 5: go to Kansas, you go down the list, and I 1850 01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:05,320 Speaker 5: just I look at those games and I go out 1851 01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:09,559 Speaker 5: of Cincinnati. Win a couple to get back in this thing. 1852 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 5: They're gonna have to get a couple of big scalps. 1853 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 5: You're you're gonna have to have a couple You start 1854 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,519 Speaker 5: at six and four, you're in a hole. You got 1855 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:22,160 Speaker 5: a ton of grant with Yeah, a good cleansing team 1856 01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,240 Speaker 5: that's well coached, and they're gonna make you pay for 1857 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:29,600 Speaker 5: for mistakes that you make. So yeah, like you have 1858 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 5: to be Clemson Sunday. Don't feel great about that. Let's 1859 01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:39,719 Speaker 5: not talk, Let's not look over. I was, hey, let's 1860 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 5: come was leading Duke yesterday for a good portion of 1861 01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 5: that game. That's the after Christmas, the dreaded after Christmas 1862 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:52,360 Speaker 5: game that teams have always kind of looked flat in. 1863 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't The path is uh, the path 1864 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:04,639 Speaker 5: has grown over with tickets and thorns and you better 1865 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,760 Speaker 5: have a real good machete to slice your way through it. 1866 01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,960 Speaker 5: Because I mean, we knew the tough at the top 1867 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,720 Speaker 5: of this league was going to be tough, but they 1868 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 5: can they beat an improved Oklahoma State team. Uh, you 1869 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 5: know there's a couple in that group that boy, if 1870 01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:27,000 Speaker 5: you lose one or two of those games, sure, then 1871 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 5: you're you're swimming even farther upstream. And do you feel 1872 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:33,559 Speaker 5: good about this team going on the road and beating 1873 01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 5: anybody at. 1874 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:35,720 Speaker 39: This point in time? 1875 01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 5: So that includes Clemson and nine Big Twelve games so 1876 01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,880 Speaker 5: it doesn't feel great, Tony. And you know this is 1877 01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 5: probably why Gisel James is coming back tonight, if we're 1878 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 5: being completely honest. 1879 01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 4: Outside of that, the football squad is preparing for a 1880 01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 4: bowl game and they're doing so with a very depleted 1881 01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:59,599 Speaker 4: now secondary. They don't have their cornerback coach anymore. He's gone. 1882 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:04,759 Speaker 4: Brendan Soaresby has left. How difficult is this game itself 1883 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 4: going to beach at against the Naval Academy who will 1884 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 4: not be resting players. No, players are opting out of 1885 01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:14,640 Speaker 4: the bowl game for Navy, a team that leads the 1886 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 4: nation in rushing yards per game. How difficult One is 1887 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,439 Speaker 4: the opponent for the bowl game, and two putting together 1888 01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:23,960 Speaker 4: the roster and preparing with players that are opting out 1889 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:24,360 Speaker 4: and leaving. 1890 01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:30,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, if you're in Cincinnati situation where 1891 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,080 Speaker 5: you got guys preparing for the draft and guys entering 1892 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,600 Speaker 5: the transfer portal and you're going into bowl season, the 1893 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 5: last thing you want to see is Navy pop up 1894 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 5: as your opponent. Yeah. They are going to be exactly 1895 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,680 Speaker 5: who they are that they are going to play one 1896 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,200 Speaker 5: thousand miles an hour. They are going to play a 1897 01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:53,400 Speaker 5: brand of football that I mean there's what like four 1898 01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:57,080 Speaker 5: guys on this roster that didn't even really play when 1899 01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:01,360 Speaker 5: Cincinnati left the American Athletic Conference. They don't know Navy, 1900 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,479 Speaker 5: and what did we see. If you go back to 1901 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:09,800 Speaker 5: when Navy entered the AAC early, when you're first getting 1902 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,679 Speaker 5: a look at Navy in the triple option, it's really difficult. 1903 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,640 Speaker 5: I mean, they rushed for what eight thousand yards in 1904 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:20,680 Speaker 5: that one game in twenty seventeen or whatever it was. 1905 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,160 Speaker 5: And then as UCU saw them more and more and more, 1906 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,160 Speaker 5: the team became familiar with it and they were able 1907 01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 5: to shut them down. But in a one off That's 1908 01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,599 Speaker 5: the danger of playing Navy is it's new. It's something 1909 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,840 Speaker 5: you're not used to. It's a style you're not accustomed to, 1910 01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:45,720 Speaker 5: and they just are unrelenting in attacking you offensively. Their 1911 01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:50,120 Speaker 5: defense is not great. But you're without Brendan Soursby, You're 1912 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,920 Speaker 5: probably going to be without Tawie Walker and Havin Pryor 1913 01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 5: your line is there. I think you're going to have 1914 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,920 Speaker 5: most of your wide receivers, so there will be something, 1915 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:04,160 Speaker 5: there will be something to fall back on, but boy, 1916 01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:07,200 Speaker 5: you're definitely not looking at one of the most efficient 1917 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 5: offenses in the country and Tony, how much did we 1918 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:14,559 Speaker 5: talk about time of possession? Oh boy this year? 1919 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 3: Yes? Correct? 1920 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 5: What fifty to ten? 1921 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:19,040 Speaker 3: Yep? 1922 01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:23,240 Speaker 5: On January third? Like, what's the record for what a 1923 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 5: team has possessed the ball? That part terrifies me. 1924 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:34,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt. And now the possessions, Chad become 1925 01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,479 Speaker 4: even more important. And you're going to be running possessions 1926 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:40,720 Speaker 4: without Brendan Sorosby. I know we'll talk about the Bowl 1927 01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:44,920 Speaker 4: game with Samage Jones and Brady Lichtenberg. I would have 1928 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,880 Speaker 4: to imagine that the answer for quarterback next year is 1929 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:49,080 Speaker 4: not currently on this roster. 1930 01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:56,120 Speaker 5: I can't imagine that it is. Look, I'm sure Samage 1931 01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:58,040 Speaker 5: Jones is going to have a chance to compete for 1932 01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,600 Speaker 5: the starting job. They had a bunch of money to 1933 01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 5: pay Brendan Soresby. Do I think they're gonna go pay 1934 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 5: a quarterback what they were willing to pay Soresby. No, 1935 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,640 Speaker 5: nor should you unless it's one of the you know, 1936 01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 5: absolute top guys in this class. I don't think that's 1937 01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,880 Speaker 5: gonna happen. But you've got money to go get a 1938 01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,800 Speaker 5: starting quarterback, you have to go do that. You have 1939 01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,880 Speaker 5: to find a guy that you believe in and that 1940 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:27,639 Speaker 5: fits your system, and that you think, I really think 1941 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 5: it's important in this era of college football that they 1942 01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,800 Speaker 5: do what they did with Brendan Sorosby. You find a 1943 01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,680 Speaker 5: little bit of a younger guy that you trust, and 1944 01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,599 Speaker 5: you've watched the tape and you think that you can 1945 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:43,439 Speaker 5: get not just one, but hopefully at least two good 1946 01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 5: years out of And that's that's what they're gonna be 1947 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:48,040 Speaker 5: tasked with. 1948 01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:52,280 Speaker 4: How how difficult does the rebuild become? And I know 1949 01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:56,160 Speaker 4: we've had this conversation three years, five wins, seven wins, 1950 01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 4: But if you look at this roster and and Keegan 1951 01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 4: has pointed this out before, this roster has NFL talent. 1952 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,719 Speaker 4: They've got a quarterback, they had a quarterback in Swersby 1953 01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:05,280 Speaker 4: who's going to go make a lot of money elsewhere 1954 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:09,080 Speaker 4: at a high major school. Do you view this year 1955 01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,880 Speaker 4: as as a disappointment because on the outside, I think 1956 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 4: a lot of people at the start of the year 1957 01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,720 Speaker 4: would say, Okay, seven wins, I'll get on board with that. 1958 01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 4: The way in which it happened, with the talent that 1959 01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:21,800 Speaker 4: this roster had, does seven now, looking back on it 1960 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:23,080 Speaker 4: feel a little bit disappointing. 1961 01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,200 Speaker 5: It feels like a missed opportunity. I don't know that. 1962 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:31,640 Speaker 5: It's it's we're in this world now where everything is 1963 01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:36,400 Speaker 5: like awesome or everybody has to be fired like that. 1964 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 5: There's no middle ground in sports anymore. I think the 1965 01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:43,640 Speaker 5: season was okay, but I think you missed your The 1966 01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,160 Speaker 5: window was as open as it was going to possibly get, 1967 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:53,559 Speaker 5: especially at seven and one going into November and having 1968 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,800 Speaker 5: a chance to compete all the way to the end 1969 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:02,000 Speaker 5: for a spot in the conference schampionship game. And look, 1970 01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:07,519 Speaker 5: Utah beat them like Utah was clearly the superior team 1971 01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:08,519 Speaker 5: on that day. 1972 01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:09,080 Speaker 9: For sure. 1973 01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:16,160 Speaker 5: Arizona and BYU Cincinnati did not play well and were 1974 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:21,120 Speaker 5: still within one score late in the fourth quarter. Yeah, 1975 01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:25,479 Speaker 5: you got the ball against Arizona down six with a 1976 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 5: chance to win the game. You've got DYU down six. 1977 01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 5: If you get a stop, you're going to get the 1978 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:32,639 Speaker 5: ball back and have a chance to win the game. 1979 01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:36,600 Speaker 5: And they didn't get it done in either of those situations. 1980 01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:41,200 Speaker 5: And then I think you could you could feel it, Tony. 1981 01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 5: You were there, You would know better than me. They 1982 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:48,560 Speaker 5: felt deflated against TCU because they were playing for the 1983 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:53,080 Speaker 5: conference championship the entire way, and that was possible all 1984 01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,439 Speaker 5: the way through the end of the BYU game, and 1985 01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:58,639 Speaker 5: then it looked like kind of the wheels sell off 1986 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:05,080 Speaker 5: in in Fort Worth. But I don't think that Arizona, 1987 01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:10,960 Speaker 5: by U or TCU were It didn't look like Utah, 1988 01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:14,920 Speaker 5: where Utah was just supremely talented. They were the better built, 1989 01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:20,480 Speaker 5: better constructed, better performing football team. You had three opportunities 1990 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:23,320 Speaker 5: even just to get that one win, to get to 1991 01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:27,679 Speaker 5: eight and feel like this season was a big success 1992 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:32,160 Speaker 5: at seven. Losing your last four now you're staring down 1993 01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:35,080 Speaker 5: the barrel of Navy where you might lose your last 1994 01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:39,120 Speaker 5: five again to end the season. It's hard to say 1995 01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:40,600 Speaker 5: that's anything but a disappointment. 1996 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 4: Without a doubt, it is a tough time right now 1997 01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:49,920 Speaker 4: around the University of Cincinnati again.

Obviously, draft position 2206 01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,760 Speaker 41: worries me. The thing that worries me the most is 2207 01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:56,040 Speaker 41: like last year where they used the last few games 2208 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:59,240 Speaker 41: against bad quarterbacks as an excuse is to why Gino Stonus, 2209 01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:02,880 Speaker 41: that's a great safety and gonna improve he improves so 2210 01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:05,479 Speaker 41: much and this and that, and I feel like they're 2211 01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:09,200 Speaker 41: gonna probably use that same sentiment with some of their players. 2212 01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:14,759 Speaker 41: I would particularly like linebacker, corners, safety, Like the safeties 2213 01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:18,679 Speaker 41: are still there, obviously, with they need to They needed 2214 01:54:18,720 --> 01:54:21,120 Speaker 41: to overhaul both safeties, both linebackers. 2215 01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:22,320 Speaker 32: Uh. 2216 01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:25,479 Speaker 41: Defensive may actually looks a little better now that Miles 2217 01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:27,040 Speaker 41: Murphy is playing a little bit. 2218 01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:28,960 Speaker 14: Better, but. 2219 01:54:30,640 --> 01:54:32,800 Speaker 41: I'm really scared about these last couple of games, they're 2220 01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,000 Speaker 41: gonna use it. I mean they're playing against what quint 2221 01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:41,240 Speaker 41: viewers Jakobe Briston and uh and uh Dowers Sanders. Yeah, 2222 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:44,400 Speaker 41: so I'm open both the day can make them look good. 2223 01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,560 Speaker 41: Uh they have career games because uh, they we really 2224 01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:51,280 Speaker 41: needed overhaul and they I feel like they use that 2225 01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:53,960 Speaker 41: as an excuse as to why they didn't make many 2226 01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:56,520 Speaker 41: changes except for a coordinator and just said that we 2227 01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:00,360 Speaker 41: need knew a new coordinator that obviously look at the 2228 01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:02,080 Speaker 41: coach to look at the Bengals and look how that 2229 01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:07,560 Speaker 41: turned out. So sure, the players on the field, it 2230 01:55:07,680 --> 01:55:11,480 Speaker 41: was what matters. And unfortunately they lack a lot of 2231 01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:15,080 Speaker 41: talent on defense, even though that they just drafted two 2232 01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:16,120 Speaker 41: young linebackers and a. 2233 01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:18,040 Speaker 10: Bad linebacker Jeb Yeah. 2234 01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:20,400 Speaker 41: So hopefully they can get better at evaluation too. 2235 01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:24,640 Speaker 4: So for sure, Brian, thank you man.

And I think we got caught up in 2239 01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:33,760 Speaker 4: a little bit of that last year with the way 2240 01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:36,320 Speaker 4: they ended the stretch.

But if they win these three games and 2452 02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:01,040 Speaker 6: your takeaway is. 2453 02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:02,520 Speaker 3: Here, we go, We're good. 2454 02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:05,280 Speaker 6: We don't need to just take the off season off 2455 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:07,360 Speaker 6: kind of like you did last year. Whatever Airbnb you 2456 02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:10,480 Speaker 6: rented last offseason again, rend it again and take the 2457 02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:14,520 Speaker 6: coaching staff with you. No, I think number one, I 2458 02:05:14,600 --> 02:05:18,200 Speaker 6: want DJ Turner to solidify the season that he has had. 2459 02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:20,200 Speaker 6: I want to see more from Miles Murphy because the 2460 02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:22,840 Speaker 6: recent glimpses have been very encouraged. Make a decision on Joseph, 2461 02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:26,240 Speaker 6: very encouraging. Make a decision on Joseph, Osai, keep Joe 2462 02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:30,840 Speaker 6: Burrow healthy. There are play the younger safeties and see 2463 02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:34,040 Speaker 6: if you have something there. These games aren't meaningless in 2464 02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:38,280 Speaker 6: that regard, but I am not going to allow any 2465 02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,560 Speaker 6: amount of success they have over these last three games. 2466 02:05:40,600 --> 02:05:42,040 Speaker 6: And by the way, my guess is they win all three. 2467 02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,640 Speaker 6: They should are going up against quinn Ewers and the 2468 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:47,120 Speaker 6: Cardinals and the Browns, they should win all three of 2469 02:05:47,160 --> 02:05:51,000 Speaker 6: these games. I cannot imagine any sane person would walk 2470 02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,840 Speaker 6: away from three victories and go, you know, yeah, what 2471 02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:56,280 Speaker 6: if only the season were twenty games, this would be 2472 02:05:56,320 --> 02:05:58,480 Speaker 6: a playoff team, and then you wouldn't want to play him, 2473 02:05:58,480 --> 02:05:58,720 Speaker 6: would you? 2474 02:05:58,880 --> 02:05:59,960 Speaker 3: No, nobody wants to play. 2475 02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:02,720 Speaker 6: Nobody is going to play because they're not good enough. 2476 02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:05,760 Speaker 4: When the committee sits down on Sunday, March fifteenth, yeah, 2477 02:06:06,040 --> 02:06:08,440 Speaker 4: and they are weighing, you see, and what seed to 2478 02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:10,960 Speaker 4: give them in the NCAA tournament. Do you have to 2479 02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:14,160 Speaker 4: start with the team they were before Gigsel James and 2480 02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:16,560 Speaker 4: the team they will be now going forward from tonight. 2481 02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:18,440 Speaker 6: I don't know that they'll say, well, you know what, 2482 02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:21,560 Speaker 6: let's wipe away that loss to Eastern Michigan. I'm glad 2483 02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:27,200 Speaker 6: Gigsel is back. If I would have said to you yesterday, 2484 02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:30,160 Speaker 6: you see, he can get a player tomorrow who, over 2485 02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:32,920 Speaker 6: his last thirteen games playing in the Big Twelve, average 2486 02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:34,840 Speaker 6: sixteen and a half points a game. What did you say, 2487 02:06:35,160 --> 02:06:38,560 Speaker 6: I'm in. That's what Gigsel James did deal. I've seen 2488 02:06:38,640 --> 02:06:42,720 Speaker 6: people suggest he could disrupt the chemistry. What chemistry? 2489 02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:46,480 Speaker 3: What Kirk Cras It was just a minus thirty plus minus. 2490 02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:49,080 Speaker 6: These these guys look like a whole bunch of dudes 2491 02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:52,520 Speaker 6: who just met each other, Like Gigsel's gonna disrupt the 2492 02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:55,640 Speaker 6: Cat Welcome back.
