Speaker 6: Ah?

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 7: Yes, the big question of the day. My gosh, there's

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 7: anybody ready to see the sun? It's me, man, I'll

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 7: tell you what. I say this all the time. It

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 7: was raining so hard last Wednesday. I was out on

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 7: I seventy one and I saw a guy with a

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 7: big boat looking for two of everything mercy. But maybe

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 7: all of that's behind us. Let's hope, because what let's

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 7: in front of us right now is the land of

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 7: the field of sixty eight. One week from today will

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 7: be Selection Sunday, and it would appear on this Sunday

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 7: that the only way into the NCAA Tournament for the

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 7: University of Cincinnati is to win the Big East Tournament.

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 7: That's how it would appear. Yesterday's loss at TCUs a killer.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 7: I mean, there's no way around it. They had been

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 7: playing good basketball leading into that game. Nobody is arguing

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 7: that they've been playing better basketball over the last six weeks.

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 7: Nobody is arguing that go back to that loss, that

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 7: lost to West Virginia and then build off that, and

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 7: you can see that this team had finally hit its stride.

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 7: But yesterday was kind of a killer. You see finishes

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 7: the regular season nine and nine inside the Big twelve

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 7: and seventeen and fourteen. They got to go on a

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 7: run and now they're at the mercy of what other

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 7: conferences do. In other words, if there's some upstart team

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 7: inside one of these conferences during tournament week and they

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 7: snatch a tournament away from someone else, that could be

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 7: a problem for the University of Cincinnati. Seventy three sixty

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 7: three was the final. Yesterday they were deep in the

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 7: heart of Texas. They were playing TCU and TCU wins.

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 7: It's twenty first of the season. Now watching this game,

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 7: dayde Thomas is playing well. Daty Thomas is consistently at

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 7: nineteen points. The problem with you see in that game

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 7: yesterday is they could not get aggressive enough inside to

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 7: get to the free throw line. They got to the

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 7: free throw line a grand total of six times. Six

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 7: times they could say, all right, it's the officiating. It's

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 7: a home match, the home team is going to get

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 7: the benefit of the doubt when things get a little

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 7: rough under the hoop.

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 7: You couple that with nineteen turnovers and it's no small

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 7: reason why you see loses this game by ten. Here

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 7: after the game, speaking with Terry Nelson on this radio

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 7: station WLW, here was Wes Miller bemoaning the fact that

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 7: his team could not protect the basketball.

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 8: There's some loose balls that we didn't get that I

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 8: think are the factor in the game, and that's the difference.

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 8: You know, outside of that, I got nothing to complain

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 8: about big picture, but the nineteen turnovers, the way they

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 8: converted those and some of the loose balls, that'd be

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 8: the thing that I'm disappointing.

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got Jaden Pierre who gets eighteen for TCU

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 7: and five rebounds. You almost felt like this thing was

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 7: just I hate to say it because it was only

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 7: at the end of the first half, but Michael Robinson

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 7: hits this three at the horn to end the first

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 7: half and that put TCU up three. And I'm not

69
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 7: a big believer that momentum carries into a locker room

70
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 7: with anything. It really does.

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: It.

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 7: You come out and you comport yourself as you would

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 7: to start a game. As the second half begins, it

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 7: should not have an effect, but it sure seemed to

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 7: turn off of that yesterday.

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: I don't know why.

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 7: And then you couple that with the turnovers and the

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 7: fact that you only go four for six, not the

79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 7: four the six opportunities from the free throw line, and

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 7: that's how it all ends up to a nine to

81
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 7: nine conference record in a seventeen and fourteen record overall

82
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 7: for U. See.

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: And what.

84
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 7: They got next is the Big Twelve Tournament. They're nine seed,

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 7: they play sixteen seed. You taught Tuesday to begin the

86
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 7: Big Twelve Tournament. So here's Miller again after the game

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 7: with Terry Nelson on the future for his team, and

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 7: it's all immediate in his mind.

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 8: Oh man, we just we got to get out of here.

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 8: We got to get home and get rest, and we

91
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 8: got to get ready to play on Tuesday.

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: That's it.

93
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 8: Like it's March time, it's winter, go home time. So

94
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 8: we talked very quickly about what I just said to you.

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 8: Nineteen turnovers, loose balls, a couple shots that were like

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 8: turnovers that the baskets, and then we talked about we

97
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 8: got to get the heck out of here quickly. We

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 8: got to go get them rest, and we got to

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 8: just focus all our time and attention on getting ready

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 8: to play on Tuesday.

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, they can go on a run. I think they

102
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 7: can beat Utah, but they're going to have to go

103
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 7: on a deep run if they're going to have any

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 7: hope of playing on past the Big Twelve tournament. I'm

105
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: just I'm startled at only six free throws last night Xavier.

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 7: I watched this game. It was on at noon. I

107
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 7: was on at noon yesterday, so I had to record it.

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 7: I watched the game. Villanova beat them ninety one seventy eight.

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 7: They didn't have Tray Carrold, So right away you're coming

110
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 7: out of the hole with that double digits from four starters.

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 7: That's good. The problem is Xavier doesn't play very good defense.

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 7: They can turn it on for a spurt for a

113
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 7: couple of possessions, but overall, and this is consistent, it

114
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 7: wasn't just yesterday. They just don't defend the basketball very well.

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 7: So Richard Patino knows this. This is not the team

116
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 7: that he is going to win big with at Xavier,

117
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 7: and like every team in college basketball, there will be

118
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 7: turnover after this season. But here he is after the

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 7: game talking with Byron and Joe just about that back

120
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 7: that you know, you at some point you got to

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 7: stop the other.

122
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 9: Guy exactly what you said there. We cut it to

123
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 9: six three different times, made runs on and I want

124
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 9: to say they answered almost every single time with a

125
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 9: made three. So I mean, you know, at the end

126
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 9: of the day, I've always said it, like, offensively, I

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 9: think we can really score on anybody. I think we're

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 9: we're pretty efficient there, but just the defensive side of

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 9: it continues to just let us.

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: Down and it's really really hard.

131
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 9: I mean, you let the team shoot fifty seven percent,

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 9: you let them, you know, shoot forty two percent from

133
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 9: three on the game.

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: What we did do a decent.

135
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 9: Job but was turn them over a little bit. So,

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 9: you know, being obviously down Trey was very very difficult,

137
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 9: whether it was rebounding, whether it was you know, getting

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 9: to the pre tow line with Trey's terrific at so

139
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 9: you know, dis pointed with the the you know, the score,

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 9: but proud of the way they fought.

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 7: When we were shorthanded like that, Isaiah Walker came in

142
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 7: and played well.

143
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: I like Isaiah Walker. I like his game.

144
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 7: He gave him thirty three minutes yesterday. He was You're

145
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 7: not going to look as good as I think Isaiah

146
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 7: Walker is. You're not going to win with Isaiah Walker

147
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 7: playing thirty three every game. But he gave him thirty

148
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 7: three good minutes yesterday, ten points, eight rebounds, And you know,

149
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 7: in a in a pinch, when you're down your best player,

150
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 7: I think he's I think Trey Carroll's your best player.

151
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 7: When you're down your best player. That makes it difficult

152
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 7: here again, Richard Patino, I never.

153
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 9: Envisioned Isaiah Walker playing the four for us in a

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 9: big East game on the road, but injuries happened, and

155
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 9: obviously just trying to figure out without Trey, how to

156
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 9: put them in the best position possible and you know,

157
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 9: to get again, like seventy eight points on the road,

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 9: forty seven percent in the second half, like that should

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 9: be good enough. But we're just we're just really really

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 9: struggling with the defense side of it. But Isaiah was

161
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 9: a great spark for us to throw in the starting lineup.

162
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 5: No, no question, about it.

163
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 7: Now. They play Wednesday in the Big East Tournament. They

164
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 7: have a six thirty tip against Marquette. That's next for Xavier,

165
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 7: six thirty tip against Marquette in the conference tournament, and

166
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 7: that will be that'll be an interesting game. I would

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 7: not say it would be a great matchup for Xavier,

168
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 7: but it will be an interesting matchup.

169
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: You get them on a.

170
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 7: Neutral court, we'll see, Okay, Florida. Florida's a good basketball team.

171
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 7: They've won eleven in a row and their last win

172
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 7: was over UK yesterday eighty four to seventy seven. UK

173
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 7: has now lost five of its last seven. As for UK,

174
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 7: Colin Chandler played yesterday, but he only gave him two points.

175
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 7: Played thirty five minutes. He only gave him two one

176
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 7: for six. That hurt OH take a twenty eight points

177
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 7: seventeen though in the first half needed him a little

178
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 7: bit more in the second half, he wasn't there. Now

179
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 7: Florida had all five of their starters in double figures

180
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 7: and Florida is playing the same amount of games in

181
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 7: the SEC as Kentucky. But after the game, Mark Pope

182
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 7: was talking about fatigue that his team has. Look I

183
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 7: remember when I was the age of some of these

184
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 7: guys running around the court. I was never as great

185
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 7: obviously as they were running around the court. But I

186
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 7: had energy and I don't know what the fatigue thing was.

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 7: But here now is Mark Pope after the game.

188
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 10: You know, we make poor decisions when we're tired on

189
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 10: the floor. I just do we make poor decisions. We're

190
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 10: tired on the floor. So we're trying to find out

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 10: how to how to you know, ameliorate that and fix it.

192
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 10: And and that's been a problem for us the last

193
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 10: couple of games. And you know, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll

194
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 10: perform better than that.

195
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 5: But that was that was really disappointing. It was just

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 5: disappointing for us. Yeah.

197
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 7: Well, I guess for their fan base too. I mean,

198
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 7: this is a team that at times this season looked

199
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 7: like it could play deep into March. And mean now,

200
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 7: I mean you've lost five of your last seven, Kentucky.

201
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 7: I mean, Florida is very good. Nobody is down playing

202
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 7: that this is a really good basketball team. I've seen

203
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 7: some brackets or not brackets, but I've seen some projections

204
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 7: that have Florida as a team that's an elite a team.

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

206
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 7: I mean the UK certainly didn't play very well again

207
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 7: last night.

208
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: Now they opened the SEC tournament.

209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 7: They got a tip on Wednesday at twelve thirty against LSU,

210
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 7: so we'll see how.

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: That one goes.

212
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 7: And speaking of the tournament everything right now, right Mark

213
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 7: Pope is.

214
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 10: The great thing about sermon is there's only one game.

215
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 10: It's one game. So we'll talk about one game. That's

216
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 10: all it is. Postseason is one game. And so we're

217
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 10: going to prepare for a one game on Wednesday, and

218
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 10: we're going to and we're going to put our whole

219
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 10: heart and soul to it. And that's the only thing

220
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 10: that matched us. And that's the beauty of the postseason.

221
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: Okay, beauty of the postseason continues. Today.

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 7: We got a three point thirty tip for the Horizon

223
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 7: Lake Championship Green Bay NKU win. It goes to the

224
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 7: NCAA Tournament. The game of the weekend though, and I

225
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 7: think we'd be hard pressed to find another one that

226
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 7: would equal. It have to be that game on Friday

227
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 7: between Miami and Ohio. Miami wins it one ten to

228
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 7: one away in overtime. Ohio had a chance to win

229
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 7: it in regulation. It could not floater down the lane

230
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 7: went off the wrong side of the rim, and Miami

231
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 7: figured out a ways. Peter Souter was not playing well

232
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 7: and Luke Scaljack was banged up. He had tape all

233
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 7: over his body, but they found a way to win.

234
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 7: Travis Steele on his radio show after the game about

235
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 7: being thirty one and zero, thirty one and zero unbeaten.

236
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 11: We're getting everybody's best super Bowl everywhere.

237
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: And it's not just here.

238
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 11: It was Kent stayed, it was the show's bowling green.

239
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 11: It's been everywhere. And you know, our group has never flinched.

240
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 11: Terry like, we're built for this, man, We're built for this.

241
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 11: We have winners in that locker room. We've got really

242
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 11: good young men. I'm proud of them.

243
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 7: Well, the thing about Miami is it's got depth. And

244
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 7: on a night when Suitor is not on, there's somebody

245
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 7: else to go to. And there's not another team in

246
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 7: the MAC that has that kind of depth. Now you

247
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 7: can say, wait a minute, it's the Mac. Who have

248
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 7: they played? I mean, I've heard that nonsense for the

249
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 7: last several months. Thirty one and oh, thirty one and

250
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 7: oh and a huge reason why is their.

251
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: Depth we're so deep.

252
00:12:59,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 6: Man.

253
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 12: It's got a lot of different guys. That's what makes us,

254
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 12: I think, really hard to prepare for. It's like, who

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 12: do you take away? If you try to take away

256
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 12: a Peter Soonter, well that's going to open up things

257
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 12: for an Ian Elmer, or an Antoine wolf Folk or

258
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 12: a Almar Atlason Kirby, whoever it might be. We just

259
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 12: got a lot of different guys that can do it.

260
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 5: That's exactly right.

261
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 7: Tournament for them opens up this week, and I believe

262
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 7: if they win their opener and Ohio wins its opener,

263
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 7: they'll meet again in round two. All right, straight ahead.

264
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 7: The Reds keep chugging along, but not in a good way.

265
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 7: And there is a soccer match tonight at TQL Stadium.

266
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 7: Does FC Cincinnati atone for the way it played last week? Well,

267
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 7: it's got a team that it's played well against historically.

268
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 7: We'll get into that and much more. Let's know what's

269
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 7: coming up on the show. We are coming up on

00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 13: and he's pretty funny. I face the same problems you do,

Speaker 7: Nine thirty eight on This Sunday Good Morning, Sunday Morning

489
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 7: Sports Talk. I am ken Brew on the show today.

490
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 7: I want to talk about the NFL and free agency.

491
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 7: We'll get into the draft as well. NFL is three

492
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 7: sixty five twenty four seven never leaves the consciousness of

493
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 7: the American sporting public. We'll also get some some thoughts

494
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 7: from Gay Blacks Baseball writer USA today on your Cincinnati Reds,

495
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 7: and we're all bracing for news. By the way, how

496
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 7: does one brace for news? Do you like stand in

497
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 7: the doorway and just kind of prop yourself bracing for

498
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 7: news on Hunter Green and the severity of his elbow injury.

499
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 7: When the news broke that he did not not tear

500
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 7: any UCL, I thought that was good. No UCL problem

501
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 7: is good. But what else is going on in there?

502
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 7: And how long will he be out? And what does

503
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 7: this do to a team who calling card is it's

504
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 7: starting pitching. We'll get into that with Gay Blacks, maybe

505
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: a little World Baseball Classic talk as well. And I'll

506
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 7: also introduce you today to the best guitarist in the

507
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 7: city of Cincinnati and someone who has helped other guitarists

508
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 7: master that craft and hopefully this particular guitarist is out

509
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 7: on the road playing live again, because if that happens,

510
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 7: there will be a lot of people in the greater

511
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 7: Cincinnati area very very excited. We'll get into that about

512
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 7: ten thirty six today. As I said, free agency, the

513
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 7: tampering period begins tomorrow. What does that mean. That means

514
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: that teams can start talking to other teams unrestricted free agents,

515
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 7: players that are out there and willing for the right

516
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 7: amount of money. We know what the Bengals need. They

517
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 7: need help defensively. They need edge rushing, they need interior

518
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 7: defensive line help. They need a veteran linebacker. I mean

519
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 7: playing the kids last year just didn't work. And they

520
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 7: need a safety. They need somebody that can run the

521
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 7: back end of that defense. That is a lot, But

522
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 7: who are the good matches. Who are the people that

523
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 7: maybe they can pursue and get here on day one

524
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 7: when you can actually sign players, which would be this

525
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 7: coming Wednesday, that we can all get excited about the

526
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six season and how what was missing this

527
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 7: year may not be a problem in twenty twenty six.

528
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 7: Someone who's come up with a list of matches and

529
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 7: teams and who might been in in Cincinnati standing by

530
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 7: to join us right now. Cbssports dot Com has got

531
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 7: a great, I mean a great website. It is just

532
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 7: terrific when it comes to the NFL, they got some

533
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 7: terrific writers. And my next guest is not any exception.

534
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 7: We've had Garrett Podell on several times throughout the course

535
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 7: of this past year, and he's joining us again because

536
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 7: of this story that he wrote this week about who

537
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 7: matches up best with teams like the Bengals. So let's

538
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 7: bring them in. Garrett, how are you on this glorious Sunday.

539
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic, Ken, Thank you so much for having

540
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: me on. Free agency really getting going here. We're starting

541
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 3: to see a little bit of movement and it's an

542
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: exciting time in the NFL calendar.

543
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 7: Let's talk about excitement, because I'm all about excitement. As

544
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 7: you well know, we here in Cincinnati need a lot

545
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 7: in free agency. We need a defense that needs to

546
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 7: be rebuilt. We could probably stand an offensive lineman or two. Offensively,

547
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: I think this team is good. I think you know

548
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 7: what borrow healthy. It can compete with anybody. But defensively,

549
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: if you were the Bengals, pretend you were the Bengals

550
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 7: general manager, just for a moment, where and whom would

551
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 7: you be zeroing in on as the tampering period, the

552
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 7: legal tampering period begins here in just a matter of hours.

553
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: Well, Ken, I think you have to start upfront, along

554
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 3: the defensive line. We're both Trey Hendrickson and Joseph the

555
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: two starting edge rushers, are free agents. And it's interesting

556
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: because obviously, you being in Cincinnati, you're very familiar with

557
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson and the failed negotiations eat to the last

558
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: two years after he had seventeen and a half Sacks

559
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: had the core muscle surgery that ended his twenty twenty

560
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: five season after seven games, but overall fantastic production for him.

561
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: I would start and see if you can mend some

562
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: fences by offering him a multi year deal. That might

563
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: not be realistic given maybe some hard feelings that have

564
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: been built up over the last years. But I think

565
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: edge rushers where you start, and then maybe you take

566
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: a peek at the safety market with Gino Stone being

567
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: a free agent, so if we're looking at edge rushers

568
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: that aren't Trey Hendrickson, and maybe start with Odafe Oway

569
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: the Chargers. He finished the year really strong, seven and

570
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: a half sacks down the stretch week six through eighteen,

571
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: types of fifteenth monsts of the league, Chargers playoff records.

572
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: Three sacks of Drake May in their loss to the

573
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: Patriots in Round one of the postseasons. So I like

574
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: him as kind of a younger guys twenty seven. If

575
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: you don't go with the Hendrickson route there, obviously Hendrickson

576
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: would be probably impactful. And if you want to beef

577
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: up the interior of the defensive line, maybe John Franklin

578
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: Myers Denver Broncos defensive tackle. He and Leonard Williams only

579
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 3: defensive tackles with at least seven sacks and fifteen quarterback

580
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: hits in each of the last two seasons. And now

581
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: the safety spot's interesting because you could address it in

582
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: free agency, or you could wait for the draft and

583
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: maybe Helpe Caleb Downs falls to you at ten. But

584
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: there's also really deep class at safety. Dylan Seinoman from

585
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: Oregon at an awesome combine, as well as a safety

586
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: from Toledo who's also very fluid and coverage. So definitely

587
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: defense first, but I do agree with you at offensive

588
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: line helped, certainly it could be a good starter for

589
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: the offense needs. Once Duke Tobin addressed that side of the.

590
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 7: Ball, do you really believe that Trey Hendrickson really would

591
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 7: come back to the Bengals on some sort of long contract,

592
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 7: some sort of three or four year deal, because at

593
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 7: his age, he's looking for length as well as money.

594
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 7: With a wall of water under the bridge, and as

595
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 7: acrimonious as that relationship has been, you really think that

596
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 7: could happen.

597
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: Again, I would say probably not, unless, like you said,

598
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: unless Cincinnati changes their minds and offers him that three

599
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: or four year deal he so desires and it's comparable

600
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: or better than what else he's getting offered. I think

601
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson he knows this is his last chance to

602
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: cash out in his NFL career, with him being in

603
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 3: his low thirties. So I think he's purely looking at

604
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: this offseason, who's given me the best contract offer. He's

605
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: thirty one years old, will be thirty two later on

606
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: this year. I think for him it's about who gives

607
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: me the best offerer at Cincinnati. Maybe he comes back,

608
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: but probably not, given just how tense the negotiations have

609
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: been the last year.

610
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 7: All Right, We've bet a lot of movement around the

611
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 7: league in terms of releases and whatnot as we get

612
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 7: ready for free agency that begins in earnest in just

613
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 7: a couple of hours. Here, all right, let's look at Baltimore.

614
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 7: I want to go around the league. Let's look at Baltimore.

615
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 7: Baltimore lost their center or is going to lose their center.

616
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: They lost or will lose a Lohi Gilman who they

617
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 7: brought in mid season last year. They're losing a lot

618
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 7: in terms of numbers. How much are they losing in talent?

619
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 7: And if you were Baltimore knowing that it's expected now

620
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 7: every year that you can tend for that division title

621
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 7: even though you didn't win it last year, what do

622
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 7: you what do you do? Where do you start so

623
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 7: you get max out of Lamar Jackson?

624
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 3: It's a great question. I think, first and foremost, you

625
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: circle back with Tyler Lindabaum who you mentioned there, three

626
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: time Pro Bowl center, and see, hey, can we get

627
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: something done very quickly before the legal tampering when go

628
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 3: opens and he can hear offers from other people, He's

629
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: probably going to say, let me hear offers and get

630
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: back to you. And if that is the case, they're

631
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: probably in trouble because the Titans released center Lloyd Cushionberry.

632
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: They're number two in the NFL and cap space. Bradley Boseman,

633
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: the Chargers center. He retired Chargers number one in the

634
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 3: NFL in cap space, so I don't see him turning

635
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 3: down a contract offer from one of those two teams.

636
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: That is incredibly lucrative when the Ravens just don't have

637
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: the cap space to go offer for offer with teams

638
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: like that. So if I'm Baltimore, very low kind of

639
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: on cap space, yeah, I look at I think maybe

640
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: they address the offensive line in the draft. I think

641
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 3: this wide receiver class is actually somewhat deeper than people think.

642
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce probably is going to be one of the

643
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: most desired guys that's actually on the market, But you know,

644
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 3: maybe someone like Rashid Shaheed or Juwan Jennings could make

645
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: a lot of sense for them to give Lamar Jackson

646
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: another player who's reliable and has Jews opposite Zay Flowers.

647
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Drew Dollman retiring on the Bears out of

648
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 7: the blue, it seemed like would also and another team

649
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 7: in the mix looking for a center. All right, let's

650
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 7: go to Cleveland. We know what Cleveland's problem is. It's

651
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 7: quarterback and do you really turn the rein It's over

652
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 7: full time issue to war Sanders. There's also a lot offensive

653
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 7: line problems. Jack Conklin is going to take a walk,

654
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 7: Joe Batonio is going to take a walk. Their center

655
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 7: could very well take a walk, or their guard Wyatt Teller,

656
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 7: could take a walk. So there, My guess is you

657
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 7: just have to look at the unrestricted free agents they

658
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 7: have and say, here's the team that probably not just

659
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 7: wade in the water withoutfensive lineman. They're going to go

660
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 7: in and just dive into it. That's what I would think.

661
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 7: What about you?

662
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 3: I totally agree, But it's difficult for them to really

663
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: dive into that in free agency because by the time

664
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: the new league year starts. Yes, every team has to

665
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: be under the salary cap and be cap compliant, but

666
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: if you look at salarycap figures right now and over

667
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: the cap dot Com, the Browns actually have the second

668
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: fewest amount of cap dollars in the entire NFL. Only

669
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: the Vikings have a lower number than Cleveland.

670
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 5: Twenty million, twenty eight and a half million. Is that

671
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 5: what it's that.

672
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So not only do they have the massive

673
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: meat on offensive line, they just don't really have a

674
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 3: ton of resources to address that. So they're probably going

675
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: to have to be kind of bargained in shoppers in

676
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: free agency and then really hope to crush it in

677
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six draft to fill out of their needs.

678
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 7: Honestly, yeah, Pittsburgh's in a little bit better shape. I mean,

679
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 7: right now you've got them calculated at just a hair

680
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 7: over thirty four million. It sounds like Aaron Rodgers is

681
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 7: going to come back. He's not committing yet, but I

682
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 7: mean he's got Mike McCarthy there, and they seem to

683
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 7: like him in that town, so he'll come back. The

684
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 7: thing about Pittsburgh, there's two things that's interesting. One, what

685
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 7: is McCarthy's philosophy visa v. What Mike Tomlin left behind,

686
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 7: because that invariably gets into the kinds of players that

687
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 7: a coach wants on his team. And Secondly, I've never thought,

688
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 7: even even when they were playing well, I never thought

689
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 7: their defensive secondary was all that great. And it's going

690
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 7: to be interesting to see who they're going to look

691
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 7: at in their defensive secondary to upgrade, and then of

692
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 7: course you get into wide receiver and you know, last

693
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 7: year it was just a collection it seems like of

694
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 7: misfits there. So they've got a number of issues they've

695
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 7: got to address, right.

696
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. And obviously Aaron Rodgers seems like

697
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: the play at quarterback and you can probably get him

698
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 3: on another one year deal that's pretty affordable. But if

699
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: the Steelers look around and Mike McCarthy looks around and says,

700
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: you know what, I want somebody as my quarterback who

701
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 3: I know is going to be here for at least

702
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 3: a few years. What if they looked at Malik Willis

703
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: because they have the cap space to afford getting into

704
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 3: a bidding war for him. They've got around just under

705
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 3: thirty five million to play with, and he's probably gonna

706
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 3: fetch somewhere between like thirty and thirty five million per year.

707
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 3: But when you sign guys to these multi year deals,

708
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: you can finagle the cap hits for each year to

709
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: make a deal like that palpable. And he's somebody who

710
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 3: books the Baltimore Ravens, an AFC North Division opponent, at

711
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 3: his one start of the year, filling in for Jordan

712
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: Love He's completed just under eighty percent of his passes

713
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: in two years of work, backing up Love when he

714
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: had to come in with Love Andred. And I think

715
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: he's got a lot of potential both running and throwing

716
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 3: the football. And I think that would an interesting move

717
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 3: for them if they want to kind of dig and

718
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: zag away from Aaron Rodgers and say someone who's kind

719
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: of more long term for them.

720
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

721
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 7: Well, by the way, we're chatting with Garrett Padell cbsports

722
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 7: dot com. He has the definitive primer on what will

723
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 7: transpire beginning tomorrow in free agency. Okay, who is the

724
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 7: first big name free agent to go? Who is the

725
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 7: big winner on day one in free agency? Two separate

726
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 7: questions there, first big name free agent to go? And

727
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 7: who is the big winner on first day free agency?

728
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: Okay, first big name to go, My guess would be

729
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: either Kyler Linderbaum of the Ravens or Alec Pierce of

730
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 3: the Colts. I'll address low case Linderbaum. We already talked

731
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 3: about the top two teams with the most casts facing

732
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: the NFL to charge in Titan massive holes at center.

733
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: He's an unrestricted agent. It's pretty self explanatory. I could

734
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 3: see one of those teams really giving him an offer

735
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: he can't refuse right out of the gate, and free

736
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: agency and alec Piers because George Pickenson's franchise tag. So

737
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: Alf Pierce is the number one free agent wide receiver

738
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: who's actually going to be on the open market. He's

739
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: led the NFL in yards per reception in the span

740
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 3: of his career since twenty twenty two at eighteen point seven,

741
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 3: and he's led the league in each of the last

742
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: two seasons in that statistic. So I think, and he's

743
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: only twenty five years old, sixty three great size. I

744
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: think someone's going to come out of nowhere and say,

745
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: hey man, we're going to make you our number one

746
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: or number two wide receiver, and we're going to pay

747
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 3: you a ton of money. And I look at teams

748
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 3: like that, like a New York Jets. They've Garrett Wilson.

749
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: They've got just under sixty million in effective cap space

750
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 3: according to overthecap dot com. That could be a team

751
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: that makes a splash there. The Las Vegas Raiders. They

752
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: have seventy three and a half million in effective cap space,

753
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 3: which is the third most in the NFL. Over the cap.

754
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 3: If they say, hey, we want to give Fernanva Mendoza

755
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: every opportunity to succeed right away, maybe they go and

756
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: throw a ton of money at out Pierce so I

757
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: could see Alex Pierce Linderbaum and then the team that's

758
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: the biggest winder for winner for initial spending, I'm going

759
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: to go with the Los Angeles Chargers just because they've

760
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: got the most cap space. You have the most gap space,

761
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 3: you can make the most moves. So and I think

762
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: the Chargers kind of realize justin Herbert's got a ton

763
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: of potential, but we can't let him play with one

764
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 3: arm tied behind his back like they did last year.

765
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: With the way that he was getting hit. He's the

766
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: most pressured and hit quarterback in the NFL. Last year,

767
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: they still ended up dragging their way into the playoffs,

768
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: but I think they understand like our ceilings pretty good.

769
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 3: They hung around with the Patriots barely lost just because

770
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: they couldn't pass protect for Herbert, and I think they

771
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: look around and go, we could be a really great

772
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: team if we just fortify this offense. Mike McDaniels over,

773
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: there's Doc, the former Dolphins coach. I could see them

774
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: being really big spenders to fix their offensive issues.

775
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 5: Okay, Garrett, good stuff.

776
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 7: It's exhaustive research you've done, all collated into this article

777
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 7: that appears right now on cbssports dot com, and you

778
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 7: can find it right now if you go there, because

779
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 7: I go there like three or four times.

780
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 5: A day just to see what these guys are up to.

781
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty six NFL Free Agency Primer projected free agent

782
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 7: top needs cap space for all, not just one or

783
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 7: two or six, all thirty two teams this offseason.

784
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 5: Garrett, thanks for your time. Stay well, we'll visit down

785
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:40,479
Speaker 5: the road.

786
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me.

787
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 7: Ken.

788
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: Looking forward to chatting soon.

789
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hope.

790
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 7: So maybe after we find out who the Bengals target.

791
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 7: If i'm them and I'm not them, obviously I go

792
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 7: linebacker first.

793
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 5: You've got to fix that. You can't run.

794
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 7: You can't run the same two guys out there last

795
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 7: year as you had last year, and you're certainly not

796
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 7: going to draft another young linebacker and say, hey, yeah,

797
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 7: go play with this second year guy. I think that's

798
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 7: where they I think that's where their initial target's going

799
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 7: to be. Could be completely off on this, but I

800
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 7: think that's the water they waded into. First, we shall

801
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 7: find out starting to borrow. We have many more things

802
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 7: to get to today standing by to join us, Gay

803
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 7: Blacks USA today he's their Major League Baseball writer. How

804
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 7: much would Hunter Green's absence to start the season hurt

805
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 7: the Reds as they try to make it back to

806
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 7: back trips.

807
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 5: To the playoffs?

808
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 7: All that coming up next on seven hundred wl W.

809
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 24: When you jump on the back of a pole and

810
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 24: the gate swings, there's no middle ground you either.

811
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 4: W presents Sunday Morning Sports Doock with your host Ken

812
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 4: Brew on News Radio seven hundred WLW.

813
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: Welcome back at ten oh eight on this Sunday.

814
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 7: Still to come on the show, more of angles talk

815
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,479
Speaker 7: because tomorrow is the start of free agency. Can't sign

816
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 7: players tomorrow, but you can start talking to them, and

817
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 7: by Wednesday afternoon you're going to see a lot of

818
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 7: players changing teams. Actually the rumors that we'll get out

819
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 7: there tomorrow afternoon and then we'll see we'll see how

820
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 7: the Bengals deal with free agency twenty twenty six, So

821
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 7: a lot of that to come. And I will also

822
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 7: introduce you to the best guitar player in Cincinnati hands

823
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 7: down and I'll let you guess who that is between

824
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 7: now and ten thirty six. But this guitar player has

825
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 7: not only achieved greatness, this guitar player has taught so

826
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 7: many others in our area how to play that instrument. Anyway,

827
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 7: that's coming up at ten thirty six, and maybe some

828
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 7: news there too of a little bit of a tour

829
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 7: or local performances. Once again, you'll be surprised. And if

830
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 7: you know the music scene in Cincinnati, I think you'll

831
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 7: be happy. The Reds are playing the Diamondbacks today. Opening

832
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 7: Day is two weeks from this coming Thursday, and the

833
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 7: projections on the Reds are not good. First of all,

834
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 7: they're dealing with the Hunter Green situation. Second of all,

835
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 7: they're dealing with projections done with data that is computer

836
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 7: driven and from that come projections. Pakoda pecota. This is

837
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 7: baseball perspectus and it's way of metrically looking at baseball.

838
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 7: They have the Reds at seventy nine wins this year.

839
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 7: That's up a little bit from the seventy eight wins.

840
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 7: They projected these these standings more almost on a daily basis.

841
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 7: Seventy nine and eighty two, really eighty and eighty two

842
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 7: if you factor in the percentages for the Reds this year,

843
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 7: two games under five hundred according to Baseball Perspective and

844
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 7: the way it goes about ranking players. Fan grab another

845
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 7: baseball website, really good one. Based on math and projections,

846
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 7: they have the Reds right now at seventy eight and

847
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 7: eighty four, seventy eight and eighty four, and in both

848
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 7: instances Pakoda and fangrafts these these rankings have the Reds

849
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 7: fourth in a five team division. And I wonder why,

850
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 7: because this is a roster that got into the playoffs

851
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 7: last year. Some people would say, well they kind of

852
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 7: snuck in. Well, it didn't matter. They got in. They

853
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 7: added au Hanio Suarez. They have their entire rotation back

854
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 7: except for Green, whose health will know more about apparently.

855
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 7: On Tuesday, Joe Shean, who writes a Great Baseball newsletter,

856
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 7: points out a couple of things. The Reds will have

857
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 7: their highest opening day payroll in team history. It's projected

858
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 7: at one hundred and thirty one million dollars, and Suarez

859
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 7: being their highest paid player. He also said, and I

860
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 7: think this is interesting what you look at last year

861
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 7: and what it did. I mean, La Da La Cruz

862
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 7: played every game and all but fifty three of the

863
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 7: Reds total innings and shortstop and played in the second

864
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 7: half of the season with a torn left quadpustle. One

865
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 7: of the things that the Reds have that may be

866
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 7: a liability for them, it's a right handed, heavy hitting lineup.

867
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 7: So Spencer Steer, who had a pretty good dayly yesterday

868
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 7: was two for three, we may not see a lot

869
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 7: of him. He may lose playing time just to get

870
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 7: some left handers into the lineup, like JJ Blade or

871
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 7: Will Benson. But he also thinks that this is a

872
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 7: this is a decent ball club. He finishes his analysis

873
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 7: by saying, I wish the Reds were in the American

874
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 7: League Central because I think they'd win that division with

875
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 7: room despair.

876
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 5: But they're not.

877
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 7: They're in the National League Central Division, and they're fighting

878
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 7: through a lot of things, not the least of which

879
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 7: the Cubs lone and the Brewers, who always seemed despite

880
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 7: roster turnover, always seem to be there at the end.

881
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 7: Gay Lax writes for USA Today. I've known Gabe for

882
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 7: my time in Washington, DC, and we're going back a while.

883
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 7: But he has been at USA Today for a very

884
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 7: long time, and I wanted to get his thoughts as

885
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 7: we are now, as I said, just a little more

886
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 7: than two and a half weeks away from opening day,

887
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 7: and he as graciously continues as he always does, to

888
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 7: join me on these Sunday mornings and Gabe, how are

889
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 7: you on this glorious Sunday.

890
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 17: I'm doing okay, Kitty, how you doing?

891
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 5: I'm rare to go.

892
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 7: I'm not sure where I'm going yet, you know, with

893
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 7: this Reds team, the hundred Green news this week was disturbing.

894
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 7: I mean, we're not just ten days, two weeks into

895
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 7: spring training and already he's on the shelf with some

896
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 7: sort of elbow swords. If indeed Green is down, frankly,

897
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 7: at the time they have read Louder, they have Chase Burns.

898
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Lodolo and Abbot and Singer can

899
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 7: take care of the top of that rotation. But if

900
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 7: they don't have Green and understanding that Burns his experience

901
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 7: in major League Baseball is limited to a half a season,

902
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 7: if that last year and Rehet Louder was gone all

903
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 7: of last year, I mean, it has to be a huge, huge.

904
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 17: Hit for them, right, yeah, yeah, no question, And again

905
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 17: it's it's a matter of you know, people that you hoped,

906
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 17: you know, would come through or would be ready. Now

907
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 17: maybe they need to come through a little bit, you know.

908
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 17: And Chase Burns interesting results and I know he's he's

909
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 17: really looking at to feature his change up a little

910
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 17: more this year. Some of the results early on have

911
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 17: been good. The walks have maybe been a little bit

912
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 17: of a concern still, but you know it's uh, you know,

913
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 17: suddenly it's like, Okay, he needs to you know, he

914
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 17: needs to come through. And the same thing with it

915
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 17: with Louder in the number five situation. But at the

916
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 17: same time, when you look at it through the context

917
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 17: of you know everybody, uh, you know, everybody else that

918
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 17: you're kind of dealing with and who they're going to

919
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 17: break with, you know, uh, you know, if you got

920
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 17: Andrew Abbott and Lobolo sandwiched around Brady Singer, you know,

921
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 17: not a bad way to My big thing is if

922
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 17: you're a continuer, do you have three good starters or

923
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 17: three scatters you feel very good about and uh you

924
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 17: know that's uh, you know that that to me is

925
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 17: a difference between a good team and uh and well

926
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 17: we hope we're okay team because you know, three out

927
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 17: of five or sixty percent, which means six hundred ball.

928
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 17: Not to assume you win every time those days come out, right,

929
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 17: but that tends to you know that that tends to

930
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 17: steady and solidify a team. So I still feel like

931
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 17: they're going to be all right. I do think, you know,

932
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 17: obviously the prognosis is going to be big because if

933
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 17: he's back in even June July, then suddenly you know

934
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 17: he's his odometer is at zero for the year, which

935
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 17: is kind of nice, and you know it's you'll be

936
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 17: kind of comping him with with Carlos Redon is coming

937
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 17: back from a similar situation with the Ganses. So yeah,

938
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 17: we'll just kind of see. But I don't think it's

939
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 17: a death no, by anything.

940
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 7: You know, we'll find out more obviously they're claiming tuesdays

941
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 7: when we'll find out more about the severity of the injury.

942
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 7: It's but as you said, come back eu odometers at

943
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 7: zero in July or hopefully before then. I'm interested in

944
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 7: your your your expanded thoughts on au Hanio Soarez. He

945
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 7: hit forty nine last year between Arizona and Seattle. If

946
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 7: he approaches those numbers, it changes the dynamic of that

947
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 7: everyday offense, does it not?

948
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

949
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 17: And really a really nice situation when you think that

950
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 17: you can just slide them in at the h and

951
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 17: you don't have to worry about a guy about to

952
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 17: turn thirty five years old handling third base. And in addition,

953
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 17: you know, you've got an elite defensive third baseman, which

954
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 17: changes that complex and then you can throw them down

955
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 17: in the nine hole and not you know, not worry

956
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 17: so much about as production.

957
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 12: You know.

958
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 17: So it's you know, yeah, the man can still mash,

959
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 17: you know, and he uh, you know, its had some

960
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 17: huge hits for the Mariners and the postseason, including the

961
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 17: Grand Slam obviously in totality of forty nine home runs,

962
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 17: and then he's going to be you know, back in

963
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,479
Speaker 17: the in the National League for what you would assume

964
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 17: would be the entire season, and the comfort level only rising. Obviously,

965
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 17: he's happy and familiar in Cincinnati, has done well in

966
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 17: the ballpark. So yeah, just a pickup that just makes

967
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 17: made way too much sense. And you know, barring good

968
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 17: health and if you can, if you can handle the strikeouts,

969
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 17: and I think they'll be able to, especially you know,

970
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 17: if salth Stewart comes along. Uh yeah, really really a

971
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 17: tremendous ad and given good health, really should work out

972
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 17: nicely for the Reds.

973
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thank you.

974
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 7: I think they like Stuart and Stuart is having a

975
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 7: decent spring. I think they really like what he brings

976
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 7: to the table versatility as well as power.

977
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 5: But it takes the heat off Stewart.

978
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 7: Suarez allows salth Stewart to develop at a much more

979
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 7: less front autic pace.

980
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 5: I think that's a huge selling point here.

981
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, and that's I think that's something that's really.

982
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 17: Underrated when you talk about acquisitions. But purely on the

983
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 17: pitching side, if you have, you know, three starters you

984
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 17: don't feel great about, or that might be on an

985
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 17: innings limit or what have you, and then you add

986
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 17: that two hundred innings guy, it changes everything. When you

987
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 17: bump everybody down a notch, it takes a lot of

988
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 17: pressure off.

989
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: Same thing with the lineup.

990
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 17: You know, it's a people say, oh, you know, the

991
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 17: lineup doesn't matter. It only you know, a lot of

992
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 17: construction doesn't matter all that. Nonetheless, there's a mental side

993
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 17: to that, and you know there's an expectation when a

994
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 17: team is bad in you third, or a team is

995
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 17: bad in sixth or a team is bad in you eight,

996
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 17: you know, and it's you know, that human element is

997
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 17: never really going to go away. And you know, when

998
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 17: when guys can kind of ease into a role that

999
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 17: is more suited for them, it certainly takes a little

1000
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 17: bit of pressure off, and you know, at least figure

1001
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 17: allows them to be a little more productive.

1002
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 7: Kay Black's our guests USA today is where you can

1003
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 7: find him and terrific baseball, right. I've known Gabe for

1004
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 7: teams like forever. Are you excited about this World Baseball Championship?

1005
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 5: I am.

1006
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 7: I think it's it's really kind of cool and I

1007
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 7: think Major League Baseball stumbled into something really good here

1008
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: a few years ago. But I am intrigued. I think

1009
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 7: the United States roster is really deep. As you look

1010
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 7: at these other rosters, or if you look at these

1011
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 7: other teams, who else is in there that you're interested

1012
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 7: in seeing in this tournament?

1013
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1014
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 17: Absolutely, it's you know a lot of deep teams. This

1015
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 17: team USA team is pretty unreal, and it's tricky because

1016
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 17: you can't you know, you can't play with fifteen guys

1017
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 17: on the field. But at the same time, you know,

1018
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 17: it's it.

1019
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 3: Really well equipped.

1020
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 17: I think a key guy, a key ad that a

1021
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 17: lot of people aren't talking about because of just Schoogl

1022
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 17: but Logan Web, you know, very studied guy, legitimate three starter.

1023
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: You look back at past.

1024
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 17: Wbcason and most teams don't have more than two guys.

1025
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 17: I mean, when the US won it all in twenty seventeen,

1026
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 17: you know they're the big key for them was Danny Duffy,

1027
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 17: uh pitching, you know, pitching them to a victory over

1028
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 17: the Dominican Republic. You know that's you know, that's the

1029
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 17: kind of good fortune you typically need to have. Well,

1030
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 17: this this team USA team, you know, they can kind

1031
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 17: of make their own good fortune just because they are

1032
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 17: that deep. But uh, you know right now, uh, you know,

1033
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 17: you got a lot of very competitive groups, and you've

1034
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 17: got a lot of really deep teams. This Venezuelan lineup

1035
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 17: not to be uh you know, not to be fiddled

1036
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 17: with Ronald Cunya Junior, Michael Garcia, Luisa Riot and Treris Brothers.

1037
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 17: You know, it kind of goes on and on, and

1038
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 17: then sudden you look up and Andres and then As

1039
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 17: has got a ninth and it's like, geez, that's what

1040
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 17: he did for the Toronto Boogie is the American new champion.

1041
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 25: So yeah, it's the eventually gotten better and better and

1042
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 25: the pools deeper and deeper.

1043
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: So I take it for what it is.

1044
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 25: It's kind of like a sugar high, because it really

1045
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 25: is very hard to you know, very hard to discern

1046
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 25: who is the best team in the world based on

1047
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 25: pitch limits and single elimination and all that kind of stuff.

1048
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 17: So yeah, it's but at the same time fun, you know,

1049
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 17: just hey, what the heck?

1050
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: It breaks up spring training.

1051
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 25: It's a lot of fun, you know, it's it's yeah,

1052
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 25: I'm with it, say.

1053
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, you and me both. I mean, and you mentioned

1054
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 7: Logan Webb. I'm a on his on board with him

1055
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 7: for years. I mean, this is a guy that has

1056
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 7: won fifteen to two of the last four years, over

1057
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 7: thirty starts each of the last four years, and I

1058
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 7: think he's led the league in pitching in terms of

1059
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 7: innings for the last three day year. Is this guy's

1060
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 7: durable and he's good. So yeah, that is a name

1061
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 7: that everybody seems to be skipping over, but.

1062
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 5: Not for long.

1063
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 7: I wouldn't think, Hey, listen, it's great catching up in

1064
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 7: the game. We'll see how this all plays out, particularly

1065
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 7: for the Reds out of the shoot early and looking

1066
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 7: more and more like maybe no Hunter Green. So maybe

1067
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 7: we can rally again here in another month or two

1068
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 7: and see exactly where everything's at.

1069
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 5: But you know, for your.

1070
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: Time today, thanks absolutely.

1071
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 7: I'm telling you the baseball, well, the hockey four Nations

1072
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 7: last year I thought was terrific. And I thought of

1073
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 7: all the sports that would be the most difficult to

1074
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 7: pull off, and I looked at baseball and pulling this off,

1075
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 7: interrupting spring training for a lot of the players away

1076
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 7: from their major league clubs and going to play for

1077
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 7: their national clubs. I thought this would be a difficult

1078
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 7: thing to do, but it really has, honestly just blossomed

1079
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 7: into a really cool event. Nevertheless, as for the Reds

1080
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 7: and what he said, look, I mean, if you look

1081
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 7: at it, the Reds did not have a particularly potent

1082
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 7: lineup last year. They won a lot of games on

1083
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 7: the come. They relied on their starting pitching quite a bit.

1084
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 7: Their bullpen was let's just say it was okay. I

1085
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 7: was surprised by Emilio Pagan. I really thought fly ball pitcher,

1086
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 7: great American ballpark, this guy could be trouble. He pitched well.

1087
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's going to escape him again

1088
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 7: this year. We'll see Graham Ashcraft, you know. I mean

1089
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 7: I say this every year. He should be the best

1090
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 7: pitcher in that bullpen. There's no reason to think he

1091
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 7: would not be. But we'll see. I just I think

1092
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 7: the I think playing in the National League Central Division

1093
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 7: is a very difficult to play in right now unless

1094
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 7: you are just willing to spend unfettered money, and obviously

1095
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 7: the Reds are not. But I look at that lineup

1096
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 7: last year and you insert Suarez. You had Stuart for

1097
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 7: the latter part of the season. Stuart I think everybody thought.

1098
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 7: I think everybody thought he was going to plug him

1099
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 7: in in the five hole and here you go, kid,

1100
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 7: good luck. Well, when they signed Suarez, it eased off

1101
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 7: what Stuart's load would be and now he can be

1102
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 7: a quote unquote rookie and developed that way. So I

1103
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 7: think the Suarez thing, as we talked about on a

1104
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 7: number of fronts, made sense for the Reds. Do they

1105
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 7: get in I don't think so, not right now, but

1106
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 7: who knows. When you get into a season, they don't

1107
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 7: have grain and we'll see how long he's out and

1108
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 7: what kind of jeopardy he avoided with that elbow. Do

1109
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 7: they have in Red Louder a competent replacement in the

1110
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 7: sense that he would go to the bottom of the

1111
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 7: rotation and you would bump up Abbot or you would

1112
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 7: bump up Lidolo to that number one starter.

1113
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1114
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 7: I don't know if they've got that juice, but I

1115
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 7: do you know, they should be better offensively, and if

1116
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 7: they are, what they're starting pitching, even without Green maybe initially,

1117
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 7: I think they're going to be a lot better than

1118
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 7: just seventy eight to seventy nine wins that we're seeing here.

1119
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 5: We'll find out.

1120
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 7: The beauty of it is you play them all, you

1121
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 7: play the big one sixty two, and you find out

1122
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 7: how many you got at the end of the year.

1123
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 7: We're coming up on ten twenty five on this Sunday morning.

1124
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 7: The best guitar player in Cincinnati is going to join

1125
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 7: me next and I think it's going to be a

1126
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 7: pretty darned good thing. If this particular guitar shredder gets

1127
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 7: back out on the road and gets back in front

1128
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 7: of live audiences, they've gone far too long. We'll get

1129
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 7: into all of that and more. Bengals Talk next on

1130
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,120

Speaker 5: Don't forget mac and cheese.

1134
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 3: Nothing more American than mac and cheese.

1135
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 26: Bill Cunningham is more American than mac and cheese.

1136
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 24: Well, yeah, but I'm not gonna eat Willy.

1137
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 26: It would be incredibly rude to eat Bill Cunningham.

1138
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 3: Plus, he's so tough, I doubt he would taste very good.

1139
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 27: I'm just saying it's much better to listen to Willie

1140
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 27: than to eat Willy Bill Cunningham Tomorrow at twelve noon

Speaker 4: wl W.

1162
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 5: Good morning.

1163
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 7: It's eleven oh six in the tri State and in

1164
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 7: the Eastern time zone. Yes, yeah, I mean I love it.

1165
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 7: You know you've lost an hour's sleep. Here's what you've

1166
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 7: got to do to make sure it doesn't mess up

1167
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 7: your entire day, your entire week. It's like we haven't

1168
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 7: gone through this before, right, I mean, if you haven't

1169
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 7: gone through this before, you're either an embryo or you've

1170
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 7: completely forgotten what life is all about. Not that I

1171
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 7: am a big proponent of changing times, pushing a clock back,

1172
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 7: pushing a clock forward.

1173
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 5: Let's just leave the time the way it is all

1174
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 5: year round. Let me do that might not be a

1175
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 5: bad idea.

1176
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 7: Sure Congress will tackle that right after they get done with,

1177
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 7: you know, the other stuff they should be doing, but

1178
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 7: they're not. Nevertheless, tomorrow is when legal tampering can begin

1179
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 7: in the National Football League, when teams can start talking

1180
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 7: to unrestricted free agents. And by this time tomorrow, maybe

1181
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 7: maybe by tomorrow night will have all the kinds of

1182
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 7: rumors as to where teams and players are going to

1183
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 7: be matched. And then, of course, in less than forty

1184
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 7: seven days, it is the NFL Draft, the NFL Draft drafting,

1185
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 7: the combine, the off season pro days, free agency. The

1186
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 7: NFL is never ever ever out of the news cycle.

1187
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 7: Sometimes though, it can get to be a blur unless

1188
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 7: you see something that really jumps out at you and

1189
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 7: you say to yourself, you know what, that's creative. And

1190
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 7: that's what I saw just a couple of weeks ago.

1191
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 7: I was going through the internets and I was on Twitter,

1192
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 7: and I came upon a story that was written by

1193
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 7: my next guest, Jacob Cammicker, is one of the most

1194
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:18,439
Speaker 7: creative guys you're gonna find anywhere in sports journalism. Guy

1195
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 7: thinks about a lot of different things. He is with

1196
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 7: USA today. He is kind of like their insider. He's

1197
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 7: kind of like the guy that knows the guys that

1198
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 7: really know the other guys. He's somebody that has his

1199
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 7: fingers in everything there when it comes to the NFL.

1200
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 7: He had a story that was up about about two

1201
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 7: or three weeks ago, mock draft.

1202
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 5: Everybody and his brother has got.

1203
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 7: A mock draft, but he used a I to predict

1204
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 7: every single pick in the first round. I'm thinking of myself, Jacob,

1205
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 7: you've knocked it out of the park. Any chance you

1206
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 7: could join me on the show? And what do you know?

1207
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 7: Here he is standing by to join us right here

1208
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 7: on seven hundre. Wow, Jacob Canmicker, How are you in

1209
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 7: this glorious Sunday.

1210
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 6: I'm doing great, Ken, Thank you so much for having me.

1211
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 7: This is in a sea of just nonsense at this

1212
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 7: time of the year. Understanding that we are marching as

1213
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 7: a society down the road to AI, you come up

1214
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 7: with the idea, why don't let AI predict the first round? Now,

1215
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 7: I think what this is what's fascinating is let's take

1216
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 7: what this particular mock draft is with AI and put

1217
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 7: it up against what will happen on draft night and

1218
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 7: see if AI as all that it's cranked up to be.

1219
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 7: I kind of like that that's a very smart move

1220
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 7: on your part.

1221
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Ken.

1222
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 6: It's something I've been experimenting with the last few seasons.

1223
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 6: This is probably my third year of trying out these

1224
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 6: AI mock drafts just to see what the tool can do.

1225
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 6: And I'll say this year this was my first one

1226
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 6: that mock you're referencing. It seemed a lot more reasonable

1227
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 6: than some of the other AI moks I've tried in

1228
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 6: previous seasons. I'll give you a little a stick up

1229
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 6: full of one last year. At one point I was

1230
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 6: doing the AI mock draft and it decided that the

1231
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 6: Cincinnati Bengals, your Cincinnati Bengals should select Tradura Sanders in

1232
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 6: the first round despite having Joe Burrow. So you know,

1233
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 6: AI will full of out some of those crazy, crazy

1234
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 6: style picks, or they'll forget players like in this most

1235
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 6: recent AI mock draft I did, Ruben Bain was completely

1236
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 6: omitted from the first round, which seems highly unlikely to happen.

1237
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 6: But I just find it to be an interesting tool

1238
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,439
Speaker 6: to use just to see, Hey, what does AI think,

1239
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 6: How can it justify the picks, and just a different perspective,

1240
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 6: and you know we're seeing AI per basically put everywhere,

1241
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 6: So why not find a fun way to use it

1242
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 6: and just try to differentiate things and kind of go, hey,

1243
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 6: here's our mock draft experts, and here's what AI thinks.

1244
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 7: Just like you said, I think it's fantastic you have PJ.

1245
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 7: Huschman Zada going to the Bengals with a tenth overall pick.

1246
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 7: I mean no, in all sincerity, AI is what it is.

1247
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 7: It's it's whatever is inputed is basically what is going

1248
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 7: to be churned out. And the problem with AI, as

1249
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 7: I've always said, is who's inputting the facts, who's inputting

1250
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 7: the information, and what particular light is it being cast?

1251
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 7: Because the human eye can discern, the human brain can

1252
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 7: discern the difference between opinion and fact. AI, I'm not

1253
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 7: sure we're there yet where what goes in is always

1254
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 7: going to be coming out what is truth and factual.

1255
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 7: But the numbers, the metrics, the needs of all of

1256
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 7: these teams are pretty much well known, and you know,

1257
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 7: will cut the suspense. The Bengals tent overall. The AI

1258
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 7: prediction was Caleb Downs, and you know Caleb Downs. His

1259
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 7: name has been out there really since the end of

1260
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 7: the season, So I'm sure AI was looking at, you know,

1261
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 7: various articles, various stories that might be out there, either

1262
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 7: through USA Today or some other source, and it's colting

1263
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 7: that and Caleb Downs comes. His name comes up the

1264
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 7: most for the Bengals at number ten overall, So I'm

1265
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 7: sure there's something like that that goes into it, right, Yeah.

1266
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely, the AI will pull resources from across the Internet.

1267
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 6: Usually depending on the AI source you use, it will

1268
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 6: tell you where it's getting its information from or where

1269
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 6: it's pulling the facts that it's putting in there, so

1270
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 6: you can kind of fact check it as you go.

1271
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 6: My whole goal with it is just to get what

1272
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 6: the AI thinks the pick will be and outline how

1273
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 6: it justifies it. Then I give a little analysis of

1274
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 6: whether I think it's a a good fit or if

1275
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 6: there's you know, someone that they're missing, that the AI

1276
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 6: is missing, or whatever's going on with it. But yeah,

1277
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 6: I think the Caleb downpicks for Cincinnati it makes a

1278
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 6: ton of sense. Obviously, they have major needs across the defense,

1279
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 6: and Downs it is arguably the best overall defensive player

1280
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 6: in the draft. I know, safety isn't you know, a

1281
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 6: highly regarded position when it comes to the draft. They

1282
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 6: often slip a little bit further than you think. Even

1283
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 6: Kyle Hamilton was picked at the back end of the

1284
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 6: top fifteen and not a top ten pick like his

1285
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 6: talents that he should be. But I think you look

1286
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 6: at a guy like Kale Dad and you say, man,

1287
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,839
Speaker 6: he would be a huge upgrade for that Bengals secondary

1288
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 6: and really give them just a rock solid, trustworthy player

1289
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 6: on the back end with high IQ and instincts.

1290
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 5: We'll see.

1291
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 7: It's interesting when you look at what AI has predicted

1292
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 7: with this draft. Where was the biggest surprise for you

1293
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 7: when you when? Do you when you did this? Well,

1294
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 7: by the way, what what Just so we know what

1295
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 7: AI application were you using?

1296
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 6: I believe I was using Microsoft co Pilot for this one.

1297
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 6: So the biggest surprise I came out of this one

1298
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 6: with was that Reuben Bain from Miami was not included

1299
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 6: in the first round of the projections. This happens from

1300
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 6: time to time where there'll be a talent who's supposed

1301
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 6: to go in the top fifteen and if DAI doesn't

1302
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 6: mock them in there, it doesn't understand that this guy

1303
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 6: spro be picked at least in the back half of

1304
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 6: the round. So again, that's something that's happened before when

1305
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 6: I've done this exercise. They it omits one player from

1306
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 6: where he probably should be and then just doesn't understand he's.

1307
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 3: Still on the board.

1308
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 6: Outside of that, there weren't any major surprises that I

1309
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 6: looked at down the board. It's sort of if you

1310
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 6: didn't know this was an AI mock draft, you might say, hey,

1311
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 6: that's one egregious mistake with ruben Bain, but nothing else

1312
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 6: really stood out as being something that I, you know,

1313
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 6: can't see happening.

1314
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 7: Well, that's that was the case. They could go after

1315
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 7: the AI version of Jacob Camicker, so you'd be all right,

1316
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 7: nobody becoming at for you. But it is it is

1317
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 7: interesting you put that up against now the human side

1318
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 7: of Jacob did his own mock draft, and you know,

1319
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 7: I mean, look, the names don't change very much. The

1320
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 7: order of selection will and you know, Mendozo going one

1321
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,799
Speaker 7: overall to Las Vegas. Interesting. We'll see if that happens.

1322
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 7: Ruben Bain is in your particular human mocked draft, you

1323
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 7: have them going four overall to the Tennessee Titans, and

1324
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 7: you have the Washington Commanders taking Caleb downs. Not a

1325
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 7: good idea, I think I think they're okay at safety,

1326
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 7: but okay, take Caleb downs that then in your draft

1327
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 7: drops cornerback Jermy McCoy of Texas Jamal McCoy, I'm sorry

1328
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 7: of Tennessee coming to Cincinnati with ten overall, that seems

1329
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 7: a little high.

1330
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 5: Are they just going for value there?

1331
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 7: In your opinion, They're obviously not going to go if

1332
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,759
Speaker 7: this draft that you've come up with comes to pass,

1333
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 7: they're not going to go with Sonny styles. I think

1334
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 7: they're pretty much over young safeties. I don't think they

1335
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 7: want to walk down that road again. So are they

1336
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 7: at that point they're going for the best available and

1337
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 7: not trying to reach, for example, for an edge rusher

1338
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:03,799
Speaker 7: like Cash his Hell of Texas A and M Yeah.

1339
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 6: I think if the draft fell the way it did

1340
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 6: my most recent mock, with those edge rushers all coming

1341
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,839
Speaker 6: off the board, Carvel, Arice, Ruben Bay, and David Bailey

1342
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 6: all go top five in my most recent mock draft,

1343
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 6: which published, I believe in mid February, that would be

1344
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 6: the least ideal scenario for the Bengals because they would

1345
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 6: probably love to get a guy who could pare long

1346
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 6: term with Jamar Stewart and help replace Trey Hendrickson there

1347
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 6: on the edge, But if those guys are off the board,

1348
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 6: it won't necessarily be easy for them to do that.

1349
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 6: I think you consider Sonny Styles there, especially after he

1350
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 6: blew up the combine. They just spent two picks last

1351
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 6: season on linebackers and Barrett Carter in the fourth round

1352
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 6: and Dimitris Kite Junior in the second round. So I

1353
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 6: think you look at that and you say, could they

1354
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 6: take Styles and say he's the best player on the board. Absolutely,

1355
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, McCoy is. Basically he's a wild card. He

1356
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 6: didn't play at all last year while recovering from a

1357
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 6: tour in ACL but his tape in twenty twenty four

1358
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,959
Speaker 6: was that of one of the best cornerbacks in the country.

1359
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 6: I think the Bengals, as we've established, could use help

1360
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 6: at pretty much every position defensively. I think putting him

1361
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 6: back there with DJ Turner and Dak still give you

1362
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 6: a solid cornerback trio. Cam Taylor Fritz set to be

1363
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,839
Speaker 6: a free agent, so if you were to get McCoy,

1364
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 6: it'd look better in the secondary. But I think to

1365
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 6: your point, it wouldn't be ideal for those three edge

1366
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 6: rushers come off board and not to have Caleb Downs

1367
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 6: available at number ten. That's the worst case scenario for

1368
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 6: the Bengals.

1369
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.

1370
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 7: I am not in the camp right now that is

1371
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 7: absolutely certain that Downs is going to be available ten.

1372
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 7: And you may be right there along there with me.

1373
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 7: I think with free agent tampering starting tomorrow, and that's

1374
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 7: just a fancy way of saying, teams can start talking

1375
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 7: to unrestricted free agents tomorrow. Signings not until Wednesday, but

1376
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 7: by this time tomorrow, there's going to be just a

1377
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 7: bevy of names that are out there. I think they

1378
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 7: attack linebacker in free agency. I think they're going to

1379
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 7: look at night and they're going to look at Carter

1380
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 7: and they're going to pick between one of those two,

1381
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 7: and then they're going to get a veteran linebacker that

1382
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 7: can play with them. Would that be the way you

1383
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 7: would attack free agency that begins tomorrow.

1384
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 6: I think that's a sensible move, especially when you look

1385
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 6: at the cap space that the Bengals have. I think

1386
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 6: it's about forty seven million that they can spend, and

1387
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 6: if I were the Bengals, I would probably look at

1388
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 6: signing one veteran edge rusher as well, just because you

1389
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 6: know you have Tjamar Stewart there and really not much

1390
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 6: else with Trey Anderson and jo just both died set

1391
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 6: to be free agents in the off season, so I

1392
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 6: think you can look at guy younger guys like Odafe

1393
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 6: Oway Quitty pay and if you really want to spend

1394
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 6: for Jalen Phillips, if keep making the open market, you

1395
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 6: could consider that, though I kind of think they'll be

1396
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 6: on the Bengals price range. But I agree with you

1397
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 6: if they're going to address linebacker because they have the

1398
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 6: two young guys who have a lot of experience they

1399
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 6: traded Logan Wilson last year, I think you look at

1400
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 6: one of those veteran options who are available. Again, if

1401
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 6: you want to spend big Devin Lloyd, a true three

1402
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 6: down linebacker, I believe it was an All Pro last

1403
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 6: year with the Jaguars. He is available. But there's also

1404
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 6: guys like Tremaine Edmunds or a veteran like the Mario

1405
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 6: Davis who's thirty seven but will be a good stop

1406
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 6: gap and veteran mentor for those younger guys. So I

1407
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 6: think there's a lot of options that linebacker. It'll come cheaper,

1408
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 6: and I think because you have the young talent at

1409
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 6: the position, it makes more sense to take the free

1410
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 6: ager out.

1411
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 5: Like you've suggested, they have their own big board.

1412
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 7: I'm sure in there whatever wherever the coaches gather down

1413
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 7: at Paul Brown Stadium a stadium and I or I'm sorry,

1414
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 7: pay Corps Stadium, and I'm sure they've got their own

1415
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 7: big board down there. They have anticipations of what teams

1416
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 7: are going to do before them. Draft is a little

1417
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 7: more easy to predict if you're a top ten picker.

1418
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 5: And they are. Do you think there might be.

1419
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 7: A temptation for the Bengals to hedge their's with Downs

1420
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 7: and his availability in the draft by targeting safety in

1421
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 7: the free agency? You know they've they've gone into that

1422
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 7: order a couple of times, and Von Bell Gino Stone

1423
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 7: Bell was short lived. He had a couple of different

1424
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 7: incarnations here. Stone obviously did not have a very good

1425
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 7: time here last year. So I'm just wondering, do you

1426
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 7: think that might be a primary target as opposed to you,

1427
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,919
Speaker 7: said edge Rusher, I said linebacker, what about safety?

1428
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think safety to your point that they could

1429
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 6: just get a safety and say, hey, if Kaled Downs

1430
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 6: isn't on the board, there's not going to be another

1431
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 6: safety worth taking at ten, and we want an established

1432
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 6: presence back there. So I outlined perfect fits in free agency,

1433
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 6: one for each team, and the guy came through for

1434
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 6: the Bengals with safety Brian Cook from the Kansas City Chiefs,

1435
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 6: degraded his Pro Football focuses fourth overall safety last year,

1436
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 6: he had eighty five tackles as defenses. He'd go a

1437
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 6: long way to sort of upgrading that position that the

1438
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 6: Bengals that hoped Gino Stone would fill, and he just

1439
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 6: he had the ball howking skills, but just allowed way

1440
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 6: too many big plays during this time. I think Cook

1441
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 6: would be a more solid replacement back there, So I

1442
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 6: think if they can get him on, you know, it'll

1443
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 6: probably be an upper end safety deal, but I think

1444
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 6: they would have an interest in doing that. And the

1445
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 6: safety market is fairly deep, so is the class at

1446
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 6: the position, so that might draw that might drive down

1447
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 6: the price a little bit, and I would assume that

1448
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 6: if that happens, the Bengals will have a strong interest

1449
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 6: in kind of targeting that safety market because they could

1450
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 6: get a guy at a mid tier contract value, and

1451
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 6: sty'll target those other positions like linebacker an edge.

1452
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, well no, there's there's no question about that. And

1453
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 7: and the fact of the matter is Brian Cook would

1454
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 7: be a local kid that would be coming home. I

1455
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:53,799
Speaker 7: mean he grew up here. He played at Mount Healthy

1456
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 7: High School and played his college ball for I think

1457
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,719
Speaker 7: two or three seasons at Cincinnati, was at Howard before

1458
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 7: then came back to Cincinnati. I will make a lot

1459
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 7: of sense. Paul Danner Junior, who's the terrific writer. I

1460
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 7: don't know whether you've heard of him, know him or not,

1461
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 7: writes for The Athletic. He suggested when the talk came

1462
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 7: to safety that a good pick at a bargain or

1463
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,879
Speaker 7: a not so pricey price tag would be Jalen Thompson

1464
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 7: from the Cardinals. Do you have Thompson rated up there

1465
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 7: as high as Cook in your opinion?

1466
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 6: I think he's maybe a step below Cook, but he's

1467
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 6: obviously been a quality player for the Arizona Cardinals, so

1468
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 6: I could see the Bengals targeting him. You know, I

1469
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 6: think he's roughly the same age as Cook.

1470
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: I think he's maybe a year older.

1471
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 6: He has a lot more experience. He's played seven seasons

1472
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 6: and Cooks played four, So you know, you look at

1473
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 6: that veteran experience. He might say, Hey, Jalen Thompson, he's

1474
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 6: that perfect stop gap then if we get down so

1475
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 6: he could sort of mentor him, play alongside him, and

1476
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 6: then transition out of the role as.

1477
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: He gets older.

1478
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 6: And I think he'll come at a slightly cheaper price

1479
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 6: than Ryan Cook. So I could one hundred percent see

1480
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 6: them targeting Thompson if you know, if they want to

1481
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 6: spend more in the mid tier safety market than Cook,

1482
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,799
Speaker 6: who figures to be, if not the highest paid safety

1483
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,520
Speaker 6: and free agency, then one of the three highest paid.

1484
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 7: And relatively young. What is he twenty five, twenty six?

1485
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 7: He's he's not old.

1486
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's twenty seven, so still plenty of

1487
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 6: years left in the prime ofate screers. Rare you see

1488
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 6: a guy with seven years of experience who's not yet

1489
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 6: twenty eight.

1490
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 7: And you know, again, we'll see how this all projects out.

1491
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 7: But you know, I'm just I'm wondering if you if

1492
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 7: you look at at the number that he might be

1493
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 7: looking at here you mentioned that he would be a

1494
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 7: little pricey. I'm just wondering, as you look at him, what,

1495
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 7: what do you think would be a number that would

1496
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 7: get him here? I'm I'm you know, I mean, I've

1497
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 7: heard everything on this guy from three years and thirty

1498
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 7: five to three years and forty eight million, uh and

1499
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 7: guaranteed money somewhere north of twenty million. What do you

1500
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 7: think it would take to get Cook here?

1501
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, looking at the market, the projection market value

1502
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 6: of this deal, according to spat track dot com list

1503
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 6: have at about fourteen point two million per season, So

1504
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 6: that would put him in that three year, forty eight

1505
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 6: million dollar range that you're suggesting. Yeah, but like I said,

1506
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 6: because this year's free agent class and draft class seem

1507
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 6: a bit deeper at safety, it wouldn't surprise me if

1508
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,799
Speaker 6: those top end price tags drop a little bit, maybe

1509
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,719
Speaker 6: not considerably, But I think if you're looking at something

1510
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 6: in the range of three years, forty to forty two million,

1511
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 6: I think that type of deal could maybe be enough

1512
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 6: for Cook because you are gonna have to pay them

1513
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 6: enough to lure them away from Chiefs. I mean, everyone

1514
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 6: loves playing for Steve Spagdalo if you're a defensive back,

1515
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 6: so they'll have to pay them enough to do that.

1516
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 6: But I could see that of maybe a three year,

1517
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 6: forty two million dollar deal coming to fruition.

1518
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 3: If all goes well.

1519
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 7: More money spent trying to replace Jesse Bates, But so

1520
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:01,520
Speaker 7: it goes here in Cincinnati.

1521
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 5: Hey, Jacob again, good.

1522
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 7: I just absolutely love the creativity with Ai and the

1523
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 7: story that you wrote. It stood out to me in

1524
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 7: a sea of a lot of these articles that are

1525
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 7: just popping up. But congratulations on the ingenuity on your part.

1526
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 7: And you and I visit down the road. So stay

1527
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 7: close to the phone.

1528
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 6: Okay, well do ted, Thanks so much again for having me,

1529
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 6: and take care.

1530
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 7: Jacob Cannicker USA today. He is their NFL guy. He

1531
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 7: is their inside guy, trending guy, keeps ahead of all

1532
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 7: the trends. Now Cook could be interesting three years at

1533
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 7: about forty eight. Your guarantee is somewhere around twenty bringing

1534
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 7: him home, that would be that would be interesting. I mean,

1535
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 7: obviously you know he learned from the best out there

1536
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 7: in Kansas City.

1537
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 5: But we'll see, we'll see a lot of smoke, no

1538
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,000

1548
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,080

Speaker 7: I want to see it happen. I think it'd be great.

1550

Speaker 7: we hope it's it's one for him as well too.

1603
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 5: Brian. How are you today?

1604
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: And I'm doing great.

1605
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 16: I love how we call it the legal tampering period,

1606
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 16: like that's not when free agency actually start.

1607
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,839
Speaker 5: But yeah, legal tampering.

1608
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 7: It might be the only legal setting where tampering is legal,

1609
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,480
Speaker 7: because it sure as that isn't in most other businesses.

1610
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 5: Is it?

1611
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: It is not.

1612
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 7: Let me ask you a question about free agency, and

1613
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 7: this plays into the Bengals. They did not make a

1614
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 7: play for Max Crosby. Crosby is going to the Ravens.

1615
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 7: It cost the Ravens two first round draft picks this

1616
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 7: year is and next year's. I think that was a

1617
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 7: wise price for the Bengals not to pay. But are

1618
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 7: you surprised that he wound up with Baltimore? And what

1619
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 7: does that do for Baltimore's lethality on defense?

1620
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 16: Baltimore still has a lot of holes on that defensive side.

1621
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 16: They're not that dissimilar from the Bengals in that way

1622
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 16: where they have a lot.

1623
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: Of defensive holes.

1624
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 16: Now, getting Max Crosby there, you know, eliminates one of

1625
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 16: their biggest deficiencies on defense. But man, that's that price

1626
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 16: seem steep? You know you're gonna hear. I mean, we're

1627
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 16: gonna talk about the twenty twenty six draft of man,

1628
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 16: I'd be hard pressed to have given up anything in

1629
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 16: that twenty twenty seven draft class, you know, with with

1630
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 16: with what we're expecting us draft people are expecting next

1631
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 16: year as well, So I.

1632
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:11,800
Speaker 1: Would have been hard pressed to do that.

1633
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 16: But the Ravens, you know, I don't want to say

1634
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 16: desperate times, but you know that maybe that's what they

1635
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 16: feel like they're in right now. They and they felt

1636
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 16: like they had to make this move.

1637
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 7: Okay, So the Bengals passed on that. What do you

1638
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 7: anticipate them doing now? Where do you anticipate them going?

1639
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 7: One would think logically it would be defense, both in

1640
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 7: the draft and free agency. If you were the general

1641
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,799
Speaker 7: manager and you could make a play for one player

1642
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 7: in free agency right now, who would it be?

1643
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 3: To me?

1644
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 16: They need to their first play in free.

1645
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: Agency needs to be at the linebacker position. They've got that.

1646
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 16: That was their biggest efficiency last year. They trusted the

1647
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 16: two young guys and it just made the entire defense worse.

1648
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 16: It made the secondary worst, It made the pass rush worse.

1649
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 16: Everything that stem from that linebacker position. Last year middle out,

1650
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 16: I guess. And with the you had Demetrius Knight, who

1651
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 16: I think could still be a good player, but led

1652
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 16: the league in miss tackles last year. Fourth round pick

1653
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 16: out of Clinton. Last year, he didn't even start until

1654
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 16: like Week six or week seven, and he was like

1655
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 16: the fourth in the league in miss tackles, but Barrett Carter.

1656
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 16: So you've got to shore up that there are some

1657
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 16: good veteran linebackers that they don't want to spend spend

1658
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,640
Speaker 16: big money at the linebacker position, which I mean we

1659
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 16: traditionally speaking, that's not what they're going to do. You know,

1660
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 16: you need to bring in a veteran guy, an older

1661
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 16: guy like a Bobby Wagner who's a free agent, or

1662
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 16: Tomrio from he plays in Washington, Tomorrio Davis playing with

1663
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 16: the Saints. These are guys that you know can instantly

1664
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 16: change the locker room, instantly change.

1665
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: That linebacker room with leadership.

1666
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 16: If you're gonna spend money, then you think of guy,

1667
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 16: a younger guy. First former first round pick for the Packers.

1668
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,640
Speaker 16: Kway Walker is a free agent. And you've got a

1669
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 16: couple other interesting names at that linebacker position as well.

1670
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 16: But I think that's where they start and they're gonna have.

1671
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 16: They're gonna get maybe in age maybe two. I don't

1672
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 16: think they're gonna spend for the top end guys like

1673
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 16: Jalen Phillips, but maybe at Caleb and Chase on Uh

1674
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 16: free agent from the Patriots.

1675
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: Someone like that.

1676
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 16: I said, I think Boye Mafe or o Fao way

1677
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 16: for the Charger. They think he's gonna be too high

1678
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,719
Speaker 16: for price. But maybe Boie Mafe, someone like that, maybe

1679
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 16: at King leaning bare from the Packers, who's kind of

1680
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:32,919
Speaker 16: like a rotational guy there, maybe maybe gets more snaps

1681
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 16: in Cincinnati and improves itself.

1682
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, it's going to be interesting. I hope they

1683
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 7: don't bottom feed. I hope they get somebody in there

1684
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 7: that's instantly starting and somebody that can. And I think

1685
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 7: you're dead on with linebacker. I mean, the days of

1686
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 7: starting two young linebackers I hope are over here in Cincinnati.

1687
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 7: All right, let's go to the draft. Caleb Downs is

1688
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 7: a name that has been associated with the Bengals. It

1689
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 7: seems like since the end of the season. Terrific safety,

1690
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 7: probably a defense defining safety. He had a great run

1691
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 7: at Ohio State. I've seen your mocked wrap, your latest one.

1692
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 7: You have Downs going to Cincinnati at ten. I've seen others. Brian,

1693
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 7: it makes so much sense that I'm afraid it's not

1694
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,600
Speaker 7: gonna happen. Walk me back a little bit here. What

1695
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 7: would prevent them, if anything other than another team taking

1696
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 7: downs ahead of them, What would prevent them from taking downs.

1697
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 16: Traditionally speaking, the team doesn't value safety. That's why they

1698
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 16: let Jesse Bates walk and they've been suffering for it

1699
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:39,559
Speaker 16: ever since. And it's it's kind of an organizational issue

1700
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 16: where they don't they don't value safety, they don't value

1701
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 16: guard and they end up spending end up sinking more

1702
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,680
Speaker 16: money in the hole trying to fix the problem when

1703
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 16: they should could have just.

1704
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: Paid the.

1705
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 3: Paid to not have the hole there to begin with.

1706
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 16: It depends on I guess if safety is a position

1707
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 16: they attack in free agency.

1708
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: I think they like Jordan Battle at one spot, but.

1709
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 16: They really need they got to get another guy in

1710
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 16: there to replace Tino, someone who was just abysmal last year.

1711
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 16: And if they attacked that position of free agency, and

1712
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:17,839
Speaker 16: I think that would alter their plans for tailor Downs.

1713
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 3: I love Cale Downs.

1714
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 16: He's my number one overall player in this class. I

1715
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 16: don't know that he makes it to ten anyway. It

1716
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 16: just depends on how the board falls. But if he

1717
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 16: were there and they didn't sign a top free agent safety,

1718
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 16: then I would be very.

1719
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Upset if they didn't make that pick attend.

1720
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,400
Speaker 7: Would you be upset if it was Peter Woods? The

1721
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 7: Clemson defensive lineman instead of Cale Downs.

1722
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 16: Peter Woods fits is another need fit for this team.

1723
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 16: They need a pass rushing, intier defensive tackle. That's something

1724
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 16: they also haven't had in a little while.

1725
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 3: Now.

1726
01:31:56,200 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 16: I just the tape this year was not great. Twenty

1727
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 16: four tape was fantastic. Twenty twenty five.

1728
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Tape kind of fell off, But so did the rest of.

1729
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 16: The Clemson defense, if we're gonna be honest, So I'm

1730
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 16: kind of trying to take that in. He didn't We

1731
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 16: didn't really get a full work out of the combine.

1732
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 16: So we'll see what the pro day tells us a

1733
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 16: little bit more about, you know, his athleticism, where it's

1734
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:22,719
Speaker 16: at and everything. But there's wide ranging, you know, thoughts

1735
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,639
Speaker 16: on where Peter Woods comes off the board. I feel

1736
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,839
Speaker 16: like at this point ten is the is the ceiling

1737
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 16: for where he comes off. But I mean I've seen

1738
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 16: some mock drafts that have him falling all the way

1739
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 16: into the second round. So it's his placement is all

1740
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 16: over the all over the board right now. So it's

1741
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 16: it's we need to see more from his pro dace

1742
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 16: soon we get there a little bit more information. But yeah,

1743
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:46,559
Speaker 16: I mean I could see Peter Woods being the pick

1744
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 16: at ten, but he's lower down my list of once.

1745
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 7: Okay, what about the Bengals after round one? I noticed

1746
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 7: in your draft D'Angelo Ponds of cornerback from Indiana Boyd,

1747
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 7: and I like the way he'd played the game this year.

1748
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,640
Speaker 7: You have even going in round two forty one overall

1749
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 7: to the Bengals, and then in round three, sticking with defense,

1750
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 7: Danny Detis Sutton, the edge rusher from Penn State. So

1751
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 7: you're at defense, your defense heavy. Everything is your defense heavy,

1752
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 7: and your thoughts on free agency and your defense heavy

1753
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 7: on your thoughts on this draft? Is that what they

1754
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 7: have to go to bed at night every night, starting

1755
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 7: two nights, saying I defense.

1756
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 16: Clearly, defense is where they need to go, right. I

1757
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 16: mean we saw that last year that was easily their

1758
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 16: worst spot on the field, and.

1759
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: That's where they've got to attack.

1760
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 16: Like I said, free agency, we've got to get pieces

1761
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 16: in there. Draft, you got to get pieces in there

1762
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 16: first and foremost. I'm not ruling out drafting offense on

1763
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 16: day two of the draft. I think the first pick,

1764
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 16: pick ten, has to be a defensive player, but I'm

1765
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 16: not ruling out offensive an offensive player, be it maybe

1766
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 16: a swing tackle on the off it's a lyne or

1767
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 16: a slot wide receiver, which I think is a bigger need,

1768
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 16: then maybe we lead on with the team. I think

1769
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 16: a guy that can open up that middle a little

1770
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 16: bit kind of take the pressure off Chase and Higgins,

1771
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 16: which why if he's available at forty one. A guy

1772
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 16: I really love I think we'll fit on the Bengals

1773
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 16: team is Zachariah Branch, wide receiver out of Georgia. Yeah,

1774
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 16: he's so tough, makes the tough catches, can get open

1775
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 16: cretasis on separation, and he's an instant upgrade over Charlie

1776
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 16: Jones at the kick and print return positions, which I

1777
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 16: think is also a slight lower down the list of needs,

1778
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 16: but I think is a need as well to upgrade

1779
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 16: the return game a little bit.

1780
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 1: So I like Zachariah.

1781
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 16: Branch if he's available at forty one and they've made

1782
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 16: and but again, this all depends on how they attack

1783
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 16: free agency. Because if you attack free agency hard and

1784
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 16: heavy like they can, they have the money to do it,

1785
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 16: they had the cat space to do it. So if

1786
01:34:56,439 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 16: they attack it like they can and piel holes, then

1787
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 16: you can go into the draft. You know, best player available,

1788
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 16: so to speak with that adage or just adding you know,

1789
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 16: good pieces to the defense, good pieces to the offense potentially.

1790
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 16: So I mean free agency I think sets the tone.

1791
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not getting my.

1792
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 16: Hopes up because of like I said, prior, history dictates

1793
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:22,160
Speaker 16: that we shouldn't.

1794
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 7: Brian Bosarge draftcuntdown dot Com. Our guest here is we're

1795
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 7: looking at free agency. Legal tampering period begins tomorrow. Players

1796
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 7: can start signing on Wednesday, and then the draft, as

1797
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 7: we mentioned, is under forty seven days. Look, you got

1798
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 7: Cleveland six overall in this draft, and you have Pittsburgh

1799
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 7: twenty one overall in this draft. Obviously, Baltimore does not

1800
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 7: have a first round direct pick anymore because of Max Crosby.

1801
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 7: Who is the more intriguing team in this first round

1802
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,879
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh or Cleveland in your opinion?

1803
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 16: Well, Cleveland has two first round picks, so to me,

1804
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 16: that makes them more intriguing just by default. But what

1805
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 16: are they gonna do?

1806
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: Are they gonna add more that they have right now?

1807
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 16: One offensive lineman and they just traded for him, so

1808
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 16: right now their entire starting five offensive linemen from a

1809
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 16: year ago are gone.

1810
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Not gonna be on the team next year.

1811
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,679
Speaker 16: They just traded for the right tackle from the Texans,

1812
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 16: Titus Howard, So that's one spot where you still got

1813
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 16: four empty spots. They could go offensive line with both

1814
01:36:27,280 --> 01:36:29,640
Speaker 16: of their picks and it wouldn't hurt, you know, I

1815
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 16: don't think it would be seen as a slight. They

1816
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 16: need to add another wide receiver. They need a true

1817
01:36:34,360 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 16: number one receiver. They don't really have one of those

1818
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 16: right now. Is one of those gonna be available at six?

1819
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 16: That depends on how they view the Makaylemen's or the

1820
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 16: you know, Jordan Typhons of that nature. With the Steelers,

1821
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 16: the intrigue to me is do they take their future

1822
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 16: quarterback at twenty one. Ty Simpson is gonna be quarterback

1823
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 16: two in this draft. I just don't have a good

1824
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 16: with the Rams trading their pick to the Chiefs the

1825
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 16: other day at twenty nine. That to me told me

1826
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 16: that they're kind of going all in on this season,

1827
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,439
Speaker 16: and I don't think they're going to use the thirteenth

1828
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 16: pick now that they got from Atlanta last year to

1829
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 16: draft their Matt Stafford replacement. So that kind of took

1830
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 16: a spot out for ty Simpson to me, Cleveland is

1831
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 16: with the two first round picks, maybe at twenty four.

1832
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,560
Speaker 16: Maybe that's maybe they viewed ty Simpson there. Maybe the

1833
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 16: Jets with their second first round pick at sixteen. But

1834
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 16: Pittsburgh is an intriguing option to me, and I think

1835
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 16: maybe the best option for ty Simpson because he wouldn't

1836
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 16: have to, you know, dependent on Aaron Rodgers, who's going

1837
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 16: to play his little game, you know, probably until training camp.

1838
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 16: But you know, if the assuming or Aaron Rodgers comes back,

1839
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 16: you know he can he can sit behind Rogers a

1840
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,160
