Speaker 4: that is Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, defending the US
Speaker 4: air strikes in September on that suspected drug runner boat
Speaker 4: in the Caribbean, killing the survivors. Later after the initial strike,
Speaker 4: speaking at their Reagan National Defense form in Simi Valley,
Speaker 4: Hegseth stands by the attacks.
Speaker 5: Amid growing accusations of potential war crimes.
Speaker 6: I fully support that strike.
Speaker 5: Hegseth, standing by the decision of the admiral who ordered
Speaker 5: the subsequent strike, but hesitating when pressed about releasing the video.
Speaker 6: So we're viewing the process and we'll see.
Speaker 5: But just days ago President Trump told me he would
Speaker 5: release that full video.
Speaker 4: At ABC Seleina Wang, that video showing two initial survivors
Speaker 4: clinging to the wreckage, and we're told some forty minutes later,
Speaker 4: after a military discussis another strike was ordered and killed
Speaker 4: those two people. The concern is it's against the law
Speaker 4: to kill defenseless survivors, a policy followed by most of
Speaker 4: the world's military. Latest traffic and weather together, no highway

Speaker 4: And does it really matter that Netflix is working to

Speaker 18: Well, good morning, and here we go on yet another
Speaker 18: game day. It's been a while. Bengals have not played
Speaker 18: since Thursday night, Thanksgiving Night, and we all know how
Speaker 18: that one went against the Baltimore Ravens. Joe Burrow is
Speaker 18: back and so too is a tinge of hope. You
Speaker 18: know these parameters on this The Bengals have to win
Speaker 18: out and then need some help as well. Right now,
Speaker 18: in a seven team race for the playoffs, the Bengals
Speaker 18: are currently twelve, but the magic is in the division,
Speaker 18: and winning the division is probably, if not exclusively, their
Speaker 18: best way into the playoffs. It begins today in Buffalo
Speaker 18: out of division, but in conference, and of course conference
Speaker 18: tiebreakers are paramount when you get down to who goes
Speaker 18: and who stays home. They play the Bills. The Bills
Speaker 18: are a team that is not the Bills. You may remember.
Speaker 18: First of all, they have a number of injuries. Second
Speaker 18: of all, even when they're constructed, the Bills are not
Speaker 18: the same stout team that they were in the last
Speaker 18: few years. But they are good. Buffalo is eight and
Speaker 18: four right now and sitting right now in the seventh
Speaker 18: and final wild card position, two games back in the
Speaker 18: AFC East from the New England Patriots. There's still hope
Speaker 18: for the Bills to catch the Patriots, but that hope
Speaker 18: is based on a win today against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 18: And as for the Bengals, well, this week they were
Speaker 18: talking to Jamar, and Jamar Chase says, look, we've been here,
Speaker 18: we know the way out.
Speaker 28: I mean being here before at the end of the day,
Speaker 28: so this adversity is not off for some doing it.
Speaker 28: You just got to start off better. In the beginning
Speaker 28: of the season to not put ourselves in this position.
Speaker 18: But that's water under the proverbial bridge. Today the bridge
Speaker 18: is closely linked to a playoff spot. We'll get into
Speaker 18: more metaphors and things like that as we get close
Speaker 18: to the game time. First, now, college football from last night,
Speaker 18: the Big Ten Championship game was one of the old timers.
Speaker 18: Final number two thirteen. That's Indiana, Number one Ohio State
Speaker 18: ten three point win for the Hoosiers in the Big
Speaker 18: Ten Championship game. It is Indiana's first Big Ten championship
Speaker 18: since nineteen sixty seven. Big plays abound. Charlie Becker stepped
Speaker 18: up big wide receiver from Indiana, had six catches one
Speaker 18: hundred and twenty six one hundred and twenty six receiving yards,
Speaker 18: including a thirty three yarder on third down that gave
Speaker 18: the Hoosiers new life and kept the clock going late.
Speaker 18: The Ohio State did not perform well inside the red zone.
Speaker 18: They had a missed twenty seven yard field goal. They
Speaker 18: failed to convert on a fourth in one from the
Speaker 18: Indiana five. All that boiled down to an Indiana win
Speaker 18: and undoubtedly a number one seed when the college football
Speaker 18: playoff rankings come out later on today. Here is their
Speaker 18: quarterback and a man that may just be holding the
Speaker 18: Heisman Trophy by this time next week. Here is Fernando
Speaker 18: Mendoza on why this Indiana team is so good, so effective.
Speaker 29: I think it's about being process oriented and never being complacent.
Speaker 30: For example, when it was when we beat.
Speaker 29: Perdue last week fifty six to three, because they came
Speaker 29: into Lockerham.
Speaker 18: Said, hey, like, it's a great win.
Speaker 29: We're propping up the first time in program history. However,
Speaker 29: there's a lot there's gonna be a lot of you know,
Speaker 29: things on film that we've got to clean up. And
Speaker 29: I think it reverts back to the Stoke philosophy of
Speaker 29: the never ending journey of the process and not to
Speaker 29: be complacent. And I think what Aiden said was beautiful
Speaker 29: of you always want to push yourself every single day,
Speaker 29: every single play and every single rep act like it's
Speaker 29: the like it's the final play.
Speaker 30: Of the game.
Speaker 29: I like, it's the most important play of the game,
Speaker 29: most important play of your life.
Speaker 18: And I think that that has.
Speaker 29: Helped motivate us and propel us forward from games like Oregon,
Speaker 29: where yeah we won, but we weren't complacent. We sild
Speaker 29: a lot of clean up on film and the next week.
Speaker 29: We try to get better every single week. And I
Speaker 29: think that our whole thing is not really competing against
Speaker 29: the opponent, which it is, but it's really competing against
Speaker 29: ourselves to be the best version of ourselves.
Speaker 18: And I think that's why we're so effective. I think
Speaker 18: that's a pretty good assessment. How about the head coach,
Speaker 18: Kirk Signetti. Anybody could have had this guy two three
Speaker 18: years ago. He was ready to leave James Madison, where
Speaker 18: he built a winning program. There, my goodness, James Madison
Speaker 18: may be in the playoffs when the rankings come out
Speaker 18: later on today. He knows how big a win this was,
Speaker 18: and he knows how big it is for his program.
Speaker 31: Well, I don't know. The time will tell. I mean,
Speaker 31: it's hard to speculate. I think it gives us a
Speaker 31: lot more. It was another step we needed to take
Speaker 31: as a program. It's a great win obviously, and we're
Speaker 31: gonna go to the playoffs as number one seed, and
Speaker 31: a lot of people probably thought that wasn't possible. But
Speaker 31: when you get the right people and you have a plan,
Speaker 31: and they love one and play for one another, and
Speaker 31: they commit anything's possible, and I think that's what you
Speaker 31: saw having here.
Speaker 18: Now they get a lot of time off to try
Speaker 18: and get ready for the playoffs. They don't even know
Speaker 18: who they're playing yet. There will be games played before
Speaker 18: Indiana's next game, and the same thing for Ohio State.
Speaker 18: Last night's loss was not devastating. Surprising in some ways,
Speaker 18: but not devastating. The first loss of this season for
Speaker 18: the bug guys, and they have to regroup and they
Speaker 18: have a lot of time off. They'll most probably be
Speaker 18: the number two seed now heading into the college football
Speaker 18: playoff and Ryan Day knows, Look, a loss is a loss,
Speaker 18: but this one last night was particularly hard.
Speaker 32: This is a major lesson for this team is that,
Speaker 32: you know, it can come down to one play or
Speaker 32: two plays or three plays that decide a game like this,
Speaker 32: and so you know, this is a tough lesson to learn.
Speaker 32: But you know, we have to be more efficient across
Speaker 32: the board. It can't just be you know, us doing
Speaker 32: our job once or twice, you know, or three times.
Speaker 32: I mean, it's gonna be every single time. And that
Speaker 32: didn't happen. And that starts with the coaching and then
Speaker 32: goes from there.
Speaker 18: Started with the coaching and then went from there, and
Speaker 18: the big plays simply weren't there for Ohio State like
Speaker 18: they were up till almost every game till last night,
Speaker 18: just simply weren't there. We talked about the breakdown inside
Speaker 18: the red zone, played the Ohio State big last night,
Speaker 18: the missfield goal to tie the game late in the
Speaker 18: fourth quarter. Obviously that played into a strategy in a
Speaker 18: three point game, but there were other plays along the
Speaker 18: way that they could not convert, and so afterwards the
Speaker 18: Buckeyes were beginning were left to wonder exactly what happened
Speaker 18: and what to do now. Like I said, they have
Speaker 18: not this is not new terf for them. They were
Speaker 18: in this position last year and they rallied to win
Speaker 18: a national championship. Wide receiver Brandon Innis.
Speaker 33: Honestly, I'm not sure, you know. I gotta watch the
Speaker 33: film and see everything. But we just didn't play the
Speaker 33: best for our abilities to night.
Speaker 23: And we know that.
Speaker 6: We know we couldn't turn the ball over.
Speaker 33: That was on me and I take full responsibility for that,
Speaker 33: and now we'll go get it right now.
Speaker 18: I thought the quarterback Julian Sayan played very well. I
Speaker 18: thought the defense got dragged up and down the field,
Speaker 18: and I didn't think that was all that typical for
Speaker 18: Ohio State. You know, you do get to games where
Speaker 18: it's just one of those nights. And quite frankly, this
Speaker 18: was the game everybody inside the Big Ten was looking
Speaker 18: forward to. Both both teams' fan bases were looking forward
Speaker 18: to it. They didn't play in the regular season. They
Speaker 18: may play again now in the playoffs, who knows, But
Speaker 18: this was the game really, not just inside the Big Ten,
Speaker 18: but all through college football in the last month and
Speaker 18: a half that just about everybody wanted to see. And
Speaker 18: we got a good one last night, a really good one.
Speaker 18: But now, like Kurt Signetti, who goes back to Bloomington
Speaker 18: with his team and tries to do a couple of things. One,
Speaker 18: get it ready for an opponent that it doesn't even
Speaker 18: know at this point, and also tamp down expectations, because
Speaker 18: the last thing you want anything for a football team
Speaker 18: at this time of the year is to get cocky. Meanwhile,
Speaker 18: on the playing trip back to Columbus, sure Ryan Day
Speaker 18: was already starting to strategize as to what to do next,
Speaker 18: not just for whomever his team will play, like Indiana,
Speaker 18: he has no idea at this point, but what he
Speaker 18: can do to self scout and make sure that whatever
Speaker 18: plagued his team last night doesn't plague his team in
Speaker 18: the next game, which will be in the playoffs. Here's
Speaker 18: day on what's next.
Speaker 32: We got to get back and figure out, you know,
Speaker 32: you know why that happened, what the issues were, and
Speaker 32: you know, get it fixed, because you know, the season's
Speaker 32: not over. Got a lot of football ahead of us,
Speaker 32: and hopefully we can use this as a way to
Speaker 32: get better as we head into the playoffs.
Speaker 18: Joy can do at this point, and that's all they
Speaker 18: will be doing until after the first round of the
Speaker 18: playoffs and then they know who the opponent will be again.
Speaker 18: Thirteen ten final Number two Indiana beats number one Ohio State.
Speaker 18: Expect them to flip flop in the college football rankings.
Speaker 18: Later on this morning, in the SEC Championship game, Number
Speaker 18: three Georgia played number nine Alabama and pretty much throttled Alabama.
Speaker 18: Twenty eight to seven was the final. In this game.
Speaker 18: Georgia is now twelve and one. Alabama is ten and three,
Speaker 18: teetering at the bottom of the college football Top twelve.
Speaker 18: We really don't know at this point whether or not
Speaker 18: they will be in and quite frankly, after what transpired
Speaker 18: last night in the ACC Championship game, and what transpired
Speaker 18: in a couple of other Group of five conference championship games,
Speaker 18: it may be another playoff without the Alabama Crimson. Time
Speaker 18: we'll see Gunnar Stockton the George quarterback. Twenty of twenty six,
Speaker 18: one hundred and fifty six yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions.
Speaker 18: Georgia simply controlled this game. Time of possession the Dogs
Speaker 18: thirty minute, thirty six minutes fifty two seconds, Alabama just
Speaker 18: twenty three minutes and eight seconds of clock time. Georgia
Speaker 18: wins the SEC championship game. Could there be a playoff
Speaker 18: without an ACC champion? If just Maywhite might happen. Duke
Speaker 18: twenty seven, number seventeen Virginia twenty that was the final
Speaker 18: in the ACC Championship game last night. Duke is eight
Speaker 18: and five. Duke wins its first outright ACC championship since
Speaker 18: nineteen sixty two. Darien Menza to Jeremiah Halsey, a one
Speaker 18: yard touchdown run on a fourth down overtime play was
Speaker 18: what won this for Duke twenty seven to twenty in overtime.
Speaker 18: But it could very well mean nothing could mean that
Speaker 18: Duke simply is an inn the college football playoff. The
Speaker 18: coach says, how can you not put a Power five
Speaker 18: conference champion in or not or leave them out of
Speaker 18: the playoffs? Very easy? Your team isn't one of the
Speaker 18: top twelve teams in the country. Congratulations on winning your
Speaker 18: conference championship.
Speaker 8: Eight.
Speaker 18: You're eight and five In the Big Twelve championship game,
Speaker 18: Texas Tech throttled BYU thirty four to seven. This was
Speaker 18: a great quote after the game. Texas Tech is probably
Speaker 18: the richest nil driven team in college football. They have
Speaker 18: a roster that's somewhere around twenty eight million dollars. It's
Speaker 18: the new way of college football. You may not like it.
Speaker 18: A lot of people don't like it. And I understand
Speaker 18: the collegiency of college football has been extracted with nil. You're,
Speaker 18: in essence the old Seinfeld line. You're rooting for the
Speaker 18: uniforms because the players change almost on a yearly basis. Nevertheless,
Speaker 18: twenty eight million dollars goes into that Texas Tech football
Speaker 18: roster and it translates into a thirty four to seven
Speaker 18: win over BYU. Great line after this game. Senior linebacker
Speaker 18: Jacob Rodriguez, he is a candidate for the Nigersky Award.
Speaker 18: He said, if we're going to buy a team, this
Speaker 18: is his quote, If we're going to buy a team,
Speaker 18: why not heee the best imagine saying that in college
Speaker 18: football even ten years ago, Bringham Young had two hundred
Speaker 18: total yards in this game. They were never in it.
Speaker 18: There were two interceptions and two fumbles lost. This loss
Speaker 18: probably knocks BYU out of the college football rankings. It should.
Speaker 18: They were number eleven out of twelve, and I don't
Speaker 18: see how this keeps them in the final tally. Texas
Speaker 18: is going to make a case for itself despite three losses.
Speaker 18: They're thirteen going into this. Vanderbilt had a terrific season.
Speaker 18: They are probably going to be left out. And the
Speaker 18: other big consideration here is what about Miami? What about
Speaker 18: Notre Dame? Who despite the fact that each piece together
Speaker 18: decent seasons, were at the back end of the latest
Speaker 18: college football rankings that came out last Tuesday night. The
Speaker 18: only one that counts comes out at noon today. So
Speaker 18: I think at noon today, what you're going to get
Speaker 18: is Indiana one, Ohio State two, Georgia three, Texas Tech four,
Speaker 18: Oregon five, and then it'll go from there. Meanwhile, in
Speaker 18: the MAC Championship Game, Miami in it and playing in
Speaker 18: it because of just the tie breakers that exist inside
Speaker 18: the MAAC them a in American Conference. Toledo beat Miami
Speaker 18: had the same conference record, did not go. Ohio University
Speaker 18: beat Miami had the same conference record, it did not go,
Speaker 18: but because of record against common opponents, Miami winds up
Speaker 18: winning its half of the MAC. Yesterday, it played in
Speaker 18: the MAC Championship Game and Western Michigan with the win
Speaker 18: twenty three to thirteen. Cam Perry seven receptions, one hundred
Speaker 18: and one yards for Miami. Terrific game. Western Michigan put
Speaker 18: up two hundred and eighty six rushing yards in Miami
Speaker 18: only rushed for seventy three. In a large sense, that
Speaker 18: was the difference in the game. Miami is still going
Speaker 18: to a bowl game, and like all the other teams
Speaker 18: outside of the College Football Playoff, we'll find out later
Speaker 18: today or tonight what bowlgame Miami is going to, but
Speaker 18: Miami will go to a bowl game after another terrific
Speaker 18: season of coaching for Chuck Martin. I said this earlier
Speaker 18: this week and I'll reiterate it again today. He's the
Speaker 18: best coach in the MAC. His teams are always overscheduled
Speaker 18: at the early part of the season. They'll take the
Speaker 18: check from the game against the opponent from the bigger conference.
Speaker 18: They probably win one of those games and then position
Speaker 18: themselves to win the MAC because of what they do
Speaker 18: in those first three weeks. It's the same Chuck Martin
Speaker 18: script that's been written every single season, and I fully
Speaker 18: expect Miami to whatever Bowl game it goes to, to
Speaker 18: play really really well. Didn't work out for him yesterday,
Speaker 18: Western Michigan twenty three, Miami thirteen. Today is a monumental
Speaker 18: day for the Cincinnati Bengals. They have any hope of
Speaker 18: going to the playoff, any smidgeon of hope, they have
Speaker 18: to win today. It's a long road ahead no matter
Speaker 18: which way you look at it. But when you have
Speaker 18: to win out invariably you have to go somewhere where
Speaker 18: conditions aren't great and the other guy is playing just
Speaker 18: a little bit better. We'll get into this game next.
Speaker 18: Glad you're with us. We're counting down to the Bengals
Speaker 18: and the Bills. On this the RNL Carriers pregame show.

Speaker 18: Nine to twenty eight Welcome back. It's the RNL Carriers
Speaker 18: pregame show. I'm ken brewd One more thought on the
Speaker 18: college football playoff. I'm reading ESPN dot com on this
Speaker 18: you could get a final twelve that includes James Madison,
Speaker 18: the Sunbelt champ and the American Conference champ two lane.
Speaker 18: In fact, the way they've got this scoped out right now,
Speaker 18: Indiana would play the Notre Dame Oklahoma winner at Ohio
Speaker 18: State would play the Alabama, Texas A and M winner.
Speaker 18: But you could have a scenario today where you not
Speaker 18: only do not get the ACC champion in there, the
Speaker 18: Duke Blue Devils, you may not get an ACC team
Speaker 18: period in the College football playoff. Stay tuned. The selection
Speaker 18: show begins afternoon. We'll know probably by twelve fifteen, twelve
Speaker 18: thirty exactly who is in The Bengals need a win today.
Speaker 18: They need to win in every single one of their
Speaker 18: games that's left, and then hope that a certain amount
Speaker 18: of things fall right this scenario that, oh, well they
Speaker 18: can afford one win, they can afford to lose one
Speaker 18: of those five No, no, no, no, no no. You
Speaker 18: never bank on an eight win team in a seventeen
Speaker 18: game schedule getting into the playoffs, regardless of how underperforming
Speaker 18: your conference, I'm sorry, your division may be. And Zach
Speaker 18: Taylor knows that, he also knows this. You can't start
Speaker 18: looking ahead, Well, what about that Miami game?
Speaker 47: Now?
Speaker 18: If you get by Baltimore next week, you can't. It's
Speaker 18: a cliche, but Taylor knows. You got to take these
Speaker 18: things week by week.
Speaker 48: The preaching to the whole team right now, it doesn't
Speaker 48: matter what we did last week. We got to keep
Speaker 48: doing it over and over again. And so we can't
Speaker 48: just assume because we did some good things on Thursday
Speaker 48: night that that's gonna curry for Sunday.
Speaker 34: I guys understand that.
Speaker 48: I think that's why we've always kind of been strong
Speaker 48: later in the season. Our guys have had a great
Speaker 48: approach to that, and this year's like new year, and
Speaker 48: we're gonna have to dos to the same approach exactly.

Speaker 18: five point Bengal lead, and in the waiting seconds of
Speaker 18: that third quarter, andre Yosi vash twenty nine yard reception
Speaker 18: from Joe Burrow turned it into a twelve point game
Speaker 18: and the Bengals never looked back. That is our delivery
Speaker 18: of the week. Today, it's the Bills. It's one o'clock,
Speaker 18: it's snowing in Buffalo. What would you expect in December?
Speaker 18: Bengals in a must win situation. Last night, as we
Speaker 18: have mentioned earlier, terrific Big Ten Championship game. I don't
Speaker 18: think anybody thought point total would be twenty three, but
Speaker 18: yet it was. And if it was that low of
Speaker 18: a scoring game, I think most people would have said, well,
Speaker 18: the Ohio State defense carried the day. Their defense wasn't
Speaker 18: bad at all, but Indianas was better. And now what
Speaker 18: standing by as a man of great import, someone who
Speaker 18: understands the game of football at all levels, high school, college, professional,
Speaker 18: he is handing out a major piece of hardware this
Speaker 18: week O Weekend, the Bronco Nigersky Award. Of course, who
Speaker 18: could forget Bronco Nigersky, one of the building blocks of football,
Speaker 18: college or otherwise, and a man who was revered nationwide
Speaker 18: for his knowledge of football. Let's bring in from Sportingnews
Speaker 18: dot Com at Ohio University here now, Bill Bender, how
Speaker 18: are you on this glorious Sunday?
Speaker 58: Hey, Ken, thanks for having me on. How are you?
Speaker 18: I'm well? First things first, that's the most important thing
Speaker 18: of the day. What's happening with the Ohio University head coach?
Speaker 18: What is going on in Athens?
Speaker 58: Yeah, this is a bizarre situation certainly and hopefully gets
Speaker 58: straightened out. I mean, obviously you know not to deflect,
Speaker 58: but you know, seeing Western Michigan win the MAC Championship.
Speaker 58: That was a good accomplishment for them. I'm hoping the
Speaker 58: Bobcats can get back to that next season. You know,
Speaker 58: obviously a lot of yeah, you know, like I said,
Speaker 58: a lot of weird reports coming out of there, and hopefully.
Speaker 18: He just disappeared. He just disappeared. I mean, nobody, nobody,
Speaker 18: certainly nobody's talking. It is bizarre. But as you and
Speaker 18: I both know from firsthand experience, the words athens and
Speaker 18: bizarre are not often separated. They often intertwined quite a bit.
Speaker 59: Uh.
Speaker 18: Indiana thirteen Ohio State ten.
Speaker 40: Uh.
Speaker 18: You watched this game. I watched this game. It's the
Speaker 18: first Big ten championship outright for Indiana's in sixty seven.
Speaker 18: I thought Indiana's defense was terrific. They got fortuitous with
Speaker 18: the missed field goal by Ohio State, but there were
Speaker 18: big plays by the Indiana defense, and there was certainly
Speaker 18: a big play on that fourth and less than the
Speaker 18: yard inside the Ohio State five yard inside the Indiana
Speaker 18: five yard line where they stopped Ohio State on Saints
Speaker 18: quarterback sneak. I thought the difference in this game was
Speaker 18: Indiana's defense and considering how good Ohio's defense. Ohio State's
Speaker 18: defense is I thought that was kind of surprising to me.
Speaker 18: What about you?
Speaker 58: Yeah, and getting the fourth down. Obviously, Indiana has guys.
Speaker 58: I mean, we did our All American meeting last week,
Speaker 58: and you know that's not revealed for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 58: but there are several candidates from that defense, guys like
Speaker 58: Aiden Fisher and D'Angelo Ponds. And I was wondering myself
Speaker 58: coming into the game, Okay, what's going to be different
Speaker 58: than last year? I watched Ohio State beat them by
Speaker 58: three touchdowns last year with you know, clearly it's continuity.
Speaker 58: I mean, I was impressed with how they just shut
Speaker 58: down Ohio State's running game and made it made life
Speaker 58: difficult for an offense that hadn't faced a lot of
Speaker 58: difficulty this year.
Speaker 30: So uh.
Speaker 58: And then Fernando Mendoza, you know, his numbers weren't like
Speaker 58: up the charts, but he didn't mess it up. He
Speaker 58: made sure as he needed And I wasn't sure he's
Speaker 58: gonna get off the turf after that first hit by
Speaker 58: Cayden Curry.
Speaker 18: I wasn't either, and he said that there was no
Speaker 18: way on God's green earth that he wasn't getting off
Speaker 18: the artificial green earth on that one. He's he's a
Speaker 18: he's a tough kid. Do you think Mendoza solidified his
Speaker 18: chances for the Heisman or do you think he is
Speaker 18: still a long not a long shot, but not one
Speaker 18: of the favorites for the Heisman. Next week, I think
Speaker 18: he'll win it.
Speaker 58: I think I don't think it's a little bit of
Speaker 58: a muddled race. I do think it'll come down to
Speaker 58: probably him and Diego Paviat Vanderbilt, Diego pragg get a
Speaker 58: good chunk of the Southern boat. I'm gonna fill out
Speaker 58: my ballot. I typically do it tomorrow morning, once the
Speaker 58: emotion of the weekend wears off, but I would say Mendoza,
Speaker 58: Pavia and then a couple other guys that will be
Speaker 58: in the mix and be like Jeremiah Love, I love
Speaker 58: Jacob Rodriguez, the linebacker for Texas Tech. I don't know
Speaker 58: if the linebacker can win it, but he's as good
Speaker 58: as linebacker as you can possibly see.
Speaker 18: Yeah. He also had the quote of the weekend. I
Speaker 18: don't know if you saw this, but he said, if
Speaker 18: we're going to buy a team, why not be the best.
Speaker 18: They have a twenty eight million dollar roster at Texas Tech. Now,
Speaker 18: I know there's big oil money down there, and there's
Speaker 18: great among Texas Tech and for that matter, Texas A
Speaker 18: and M alumni. There's great motivation to outspend and out
Speaker 18: do the University of Texas at any turn. Twenty eight
Speaker 18: million dollars to put a roster together. Bill, This is crazy,
Speaker 18: but that's exactly where it is. And I would imagine
Speaker 18: that twenty eight million goes a hell of a lot
Speaker 18: farther up the scale next year, don't.
Speaker 58: You I do too well. I mean, you could argue
Speaker 58: that it paid off because they won the Big twelve
Speaker 58: championship and they are in position to make a run
Speaker 58: in the playoffs, and everybody's going to be talking about
Speaker 58: this bracket here in a couple hours. I think the
Speaker 58: way it's going to situate is Ohio State will priorrupt
Speaker 58: the three, so I mean Texas Tech will be number four,
Speaker 58: and then you know, if the chalk holds, which didn't
Speaker 58: last year but it might, you would theoretically get Indiana
Speaker 58: Texas Tech on one side, and then Georgia Ohio State
Speaker 58: on the other. So, whether it's Indiana or Texas Tech,
Speaker 58: if they take care of their business. One of those
Speaker 58: schools could be playing for national championship, and then at
Speaker 58: that point it's sustainable that it was money well spent.
Speaker 58: I guess. I mean, I don't throw that kind of
Speaker 58: money around, but I don't run a college football program either.
Speaker 18: Yeah. I mean, if it does fall that way, you
Speaker 18: could get in the final Ohio State, Indiana you got
Speaker 18: a rematch in the final, right.
Speaker 58: It very well could and or you know, the team
Speaker 58: that I think is going to get into that actually
Speaker 58: be wrong because one of them has to get squeezed
Speaker 58: out between Notre Dame, Miami and Alabama. And the way
Speaker 58: we did it at Sporting News, I put Notre Dame in,
Speaker 58: Miami in. If they put Alabama in over one of
Speaker 58: those schools, I'm not going to say, oh boy, I
Speaker 58: was wrong, because it would just mean I was dumb
Speaker 58: because I didn't believe that they would give Alabama preferential treatment.
Speaker 2: Again, you know what I mean.
Speaker 58: They all three have an argument. I understand it, but
Speaker 58: I know how committees work, and sometimes they take the
Speaker 58: compromise and they get Miami and acc team in, they
Speaker 58: get Notre Dame in, and they penalize Alabama a little
Speaker 58: bit for getting beat by three touchdown.
Speaker 18: What if they squeeze the ACC. I mean there's a
Speaker 18: real case for both James Madison and two lane, And
Speaker 18: in fact, some brackets this morning have James Madison in
Speaker 18: two lane, twelve and eleven.
Speaker 58: I think they'll be the five highest rank conference champion.
Speaker 58: So the squeeze, that's why I think Miami is going
Speaker 58: to get in.
Speaker 18: At Alabama at Alabama's expense, is what you're saying.
Speaker 58: And I think that's the politics of this playoff, you
Speaker 58: know what I mean, Like, yes, the ACC might not
Speaker 58: have a team in a couple takeaways from that, ken
Speaker 58: One probably should revise the tiebreaker scenarios to make sure
Speaker 58: like they can't have a five lost spoiler. Again, Miami
Speaker 58: probably should have been playing in that a SEC championship game.
Speaker 58: Two conference championships got to go. I've said it. I
Speaker 58: liked the weekend. It's not that I don't like watching
Speaker 58: more football, it's they just don't. They don't pair well
Speaker 58: with this playoff because yeah, Alabama will have an argument.
Speaker 58: They'll be like, well, we just won't play in it
Speaker 58: because if it's going to cost us a playoff first,
Speaker 58: and there's some validity to that too. So my solution
Speaker 58: is pretty simple. Let's go to sixteen, get rid of
Speaker 58: the conference championship games, play the first two rounds on campus,
Speaker 58: and then go from there. Make your product as compelling
Speaker 58: as possible. There's a league that plays today that does
Speaker 58: that pretty well.
Speaker 18: Yes, it does. The other option is if you if
Speaker 18: you're insistent upon playing these conference championship games because they
Speaker 18: are money makers, that's the reason why the conferences have
Speaker 18: gone to these in the first place, then why not
Speaker 18: give the team in your conference a buy and they
Speaker 18: don't play in the championship game, and you have your
Speaker 18: second and third place teams play in these championship games
Speaker 18: or call them whatever you want, and in essence, what
Speaker 18: they're playing for is either a playoff ranking somebody in
Speaker 18: the field of twelve, or they're playing for the next
Speaker 18: highest bowl game that they can get into. But you
Speaker 18: exempt your best team, so your best team represents you
Speaker 18: in the field of twelve. What about that theory?
Speaker 58: You know, when I first heard this, I thought it
Speaker 58: was absurd, but now it's starting to make more sense.
Speaker 58: If you want, if you really want money on this week,
Speaker 58: you know, play a three, six and a four or
Speaker 58: five game and four Big Ten teams get in. Tony
Speaker 58: TD actually might have a decent idea there, I just
Speaker 58: but I still don't. Here's what I would just take
Speaker 58: the top sixteen at the end of the regular season.
Speaker 58: If if it's a year where the ACC is down
Speaker 58: and they only have one, so be it. You know,
Speaker 58: like this year.
Speaker 2: If it's.
Speaker 58: A year where the Big Ten has three or six,
Speaker 58: we can move it around. But you can't tell me
Speaker 58: when you look at the final sixteen teams in the
Speaker 58: rankings today versus what the playoff is and you're gonna say, man,
Speaker 58: that one would be better. You know, you would get
Speaker 58: Texas and you would get Miami in. You would have
Speaker 58: an incentive. Much like I always say, Ken Ohio High School,
Speaker 58: the way that they do their their high school playoffs
Speaker 58: pretty good. I like the computer system. It rewards you
Speaker 58: for stepping up and it doesn't penalize you for playing
Speaker 58: the tough schedule.
Speaker 18: It's right exactly. I've always been a big proponent of that.
Speaker 18: Another level outside of high school football. Bill Bendersportingnews dot
Speaker 18: Com our guest. We got a massive game from the
Speaker 18: Bengals standpoint today in Buffalo. They have to win. The
Speaker 18: Bills are a team that has been giving the ball
Speaker 18: away quite a bit over the last four weeks. It's
Speaker 18: supposed to be cold and snowy, snow to some extent
Speaker 18: in Buffalo. Buffalo needs this game because they still think
Speaker 18: and they still do have a shot at catching New
Speaker 18: England for the AFC East title. I'm just wondering your
Speaker 18: thoughts of a Bengals team backed up against the wall,
Speaker 18: but with Joe Burrow back against a Buffalo team that
Speaker 18: always plays well at home that's had trouble controlling the football.
Speaker 18: What do you think on this one today?
Speaker 58: Anything goes Buffalo. I kind of as I've watched them
Speaker 58: this season when they're home run swing the super Bowl,
Speaker 58: but they're just very inconsistent, like you said, and Joe
Speaker 58: Burrow trying to lead this run as they play like
Speaker 58: they did against the Ravens, that will be interesting. You've
Speaker 58: had the upper hand in the game against the Bills
Speaker 58: to this point. It's an opportunity for certain whether the
Speaker 58: able weather plays a role in that. The last time
Speaker 58: they played there in the weather it didn't matter at all.
Speaker 58: So if the defense holds up on the back end
Speaker 58: and Joe Burrow continues to do what Joe Burrow does.
Speaker 58: He will be making an appearance in a list I
Speaker 58: have coming later this week. It's a big debate in
Speaker 58: the Sporting News office. We ranked the last twenty five
Speaker 58: Heisman winners since two thousand and you know, there's a
Speaker 58: considerable back and forth between Burrow and Cam Newton in
Speaker 58: twenty ten. I've always leaned Burrow, but there's a lot
Speaker 58: of people picking Cam on that one.
Speaker 18: Are you doing body of work or just like best season?
Speaker 58: How are you doing that the best Heisman Trophy season?
Speaker 58: And you know you got a factor of the playoff
Speaker 58: in right, because I had six thousand yards. His college
Speaker 58: Heisman year stats are literally insane if you really look
Speaker 58: at him.
Speaker 18: Yeah, wow, yeah, I mean absolutely, Cam Newton was was phenomenal.
Speaker 18: I don't think that you're you know that that's that's
Speaker 18: the start of the great debate. You're only going back
Speaker 18: twenty five years. You're going back to ninety, right, You're
Speaker 18: going back to ninety on this right, two thousand.
Speaker 58: So we got that's why we're already twenty five years
Speaker 58: into this somehow. So we had some fun with it,
Speaker 58: and you know, there's a lot of good players on
Speaker 58: that list.
Speaker 23: You know, you go back and.
Speaker 18: Look, Carson Palmer's on that list.
Speaker 58: A lot of Lincoln Riley quarterback and US quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 58: it's a fun list, but you know, Newton and Burrow
Speaker 58: will generate a lot of discussion. I think Fernando ultimately
Speaker 58: will probably join that list. But just never know, this
Speaker 58: is a This isn't quite as open and shut as
Speaker 58: it was with Travis Hunter last year.
Speaker 30: No, it's not.
Speaker 18: And to be honest with you, you're talking about I mean,
Speaker 18: if you're going to line up numbers and who did what?
Speaker 18: I mean, you're you know, Tim Tebow's numbers weren't outstanding,
Speaker 18: but it was his sophomore year. But nobody could nobody
Speaker 18: could deny the fact that that guy was one of
Speaker 18: the great leaders of a team in the last twenty
Speaker 18: five years. Troy Smith, my gosh, what great numbers for
Speaker 18: him back in twenty oh twenty oh six, I believe,
Speaker 18: I mean there's but I mean again, and Carson Palmer,
Speaker 18: who might have been the most accurate quarterback of the
Speaker 18: last twenty five years, to me, would be somebody that
Speaker 18: I think would merit strong consideration. But you have some
Speaker 18: other guys in there maybe that you know, it was
Speaker 18: a lean year and they wound up as the guy.
Speaker 18: But we'll see. I'll look forward to that, and I'll
Speaker 18: look forward to what you're putting together here at the
Speaker 18: end of this week too. But Bill Bender, tomorrow night,
Speaker 18: good luck. You're handing out the Nagursky Award, of which
Speaker 18: the man that we talked about just a few minutes ago,
Speaker 18: Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech, could very well beholding it.
Speaker 18: Do you have your tuxedo, do you have your introduction speech?
Speaker 18: You're gonna tell some jokes or do you just get
Speaker 18: on and get off the stage? How does that work?
Speaker 2: We'll find out tomorrow.
Speaker 58: I bet we have the meeting tonight. When I get
Speaker 58: into Charlotte, I do have a tuxedo. It does fit.
Speaker 58: I am one of those guys that gets out of
Speaker 58: it as soon as possible, though, like it's I gotta
Speaker 58: get it, you know, get in my warm up pants
Speaker 58: and get ready to go to watch. But no, it's
Speaker 58: an honor to do it. I really appreciate you mentioning
Speaker 58: and and I don't get nervous. I'll have a lot
Speaker 58: of fun tomorrow down in Charlotte. Brian Bossworth, the keynote speaker,

Speaker 18: to the pregame show. It's the Bengals and Bills. We're
Speaker 18: counting down to little business. First, let's check out and
Speaker 18: see who's hot in the NFL. Brought to you by
Speaker 18: Plumb tight fast response times, no service fees. Well, there's nobody,
Speaker 18: or was nobody hotter last week than quarterback bow Knicks
Speaker 18: the Denver Broncos twenty seven to twenty six win at Washington.
Speaker 18: Bow was twenty nine and forty five for three hundred
Speaker 18: and twenty one yards and an interception. There is only
Speaker 18: one team hotter than his Denver Broncos, who have now
Speaker 18: won nine nine in a row and lead that AFC
Speaker 18: West by two. Nine in a row for the Broncos
Speaker 18: not quite as good as ten in a row. That's
Speaker 18: where the New England Patriots sit. Ten wins in a row.
Speaker 18: For the Patriots, they lead the AFC East by two games.
Speaker 18: That's what the Bills are trying to catch. Patriots have
Speaker 18: the week off, they have a late season by As
Speaker 18: for the Bengals today, well here's the key. They got
Speaker 18: all those turnovers against Baltimore last week, five of them,
Speaker 18: and according to the team, according to people like Jordan Battle,
Speaker 18: let the turnovers keep on coming today in Buffalo.
Speaker 15: You know, just you know, having awareness with the ball.
Speaker 77: You know, it's obviously it's gonna be cold out there,
Speaker 77: you know, Uh, so that the ball might be a loose,
Speaker 77: I mean, it might be a little loose, you know,
Speaker 77: to get the balls a little hard in your hands.
Speaker 77: So you know, you have to take advantage of that,
Speaker 77: you know, as a defense, it's gonna be snow, it's
Speaker 77: gonna be cold. Uh, the ball might be coming out
Speaker 77: fast and might be able to opportunities for tip picks.
Speaker 77: For the balls in the air. So you know, we's
Speaker 77: got to be able to capitalize on all those opportunities
Speaker 77: that we get.
Speaker 18: Get that ball away, turn that ball over, get Joey
Speaker 18: b good field position. Always a strategy on defense. You

Speaker 18: the voting system was changed by the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 18: of Fame, and why, well, let's find out somebody who
Speaker 18: has a vote. We don't know if he's voting for
Speaker 18: Anderson or not, but he seems to talk very well
Speaker 18: about him. Is someone who has been around a long
Speaker 18: time and knows exactly what this Pro Football Hall of
Speaker 18: fame is all about and who should be in because
Speaker 18: he's a student of the game, even at an advanced age.
Speaker 18: He's a good guest of this program. He's our good
Speaker 18: buddy who's covered many NFL teams over the course of
Speaker 18: his career. He is Clark judge. Let's bring them in.
Speaker 15: Clark.
Speaker 18: How are you on this glorious game day.
Speaker 78: Well, I'm doing well, Thanks very much, can't thanks for
Speaker 78: that intro. Yeah, it's confusing because they changed the process
Speaker 78: and the rules and process last year. So what we
Speaker 78: used to have was a separate seniors committee, a coach
Speaker 78: slash contributor committee, and then we separated the coach and
Speaker 78: the contributors to the three subcommittee, and we bring out
Speaker 78: three seniors, a coach, and a contributor, but they would
Speaker 78: be separate finalists voted on separately. So the seniors voted
Speaker 78: against each other, and the coaches and the contributors voted independently.
Speaker 78: And if you've got eighty percent of the vote, each
Speaker 78: semi voted to those three seniors each got eight percent
Speaker 78: of the votes. They're in. The coach eight percent, he's in,
Speaker 78: the contributed a percent he's in. They changed that last year.
Speaker 78: They say no, we're going to consider them all together,
Speaker 78: all five together, and take the top three. However, top
Speaker 78: three each has to have eighty percent of the vote.
Speaker 78: And as you know, in the first year of implementation,
Speaker 78: which is this year that didn't happen, only one of
Speaker 78: those five individuals got eighty percent of the vote. That
Speaker 78: was Stirling Chubb. So people like my phone grin Ralph
Speaker 78: he is the founder of the league founded, not in
Speaker 78: and didn't get in, and so we really have one
Speaker 78: individual who got in. So it's confusing, confusing some of
Speaker 78: the voters, and so we finally will walk through it.
Speaker 78: But that's the way it goes. Now you have five people.
Speaker 78: Now Ken Anderson is one of the five, but he'll
Speaker 78: be considered along with Els Greenwood and Roger Craig. Those
Speaker 78: are the three seniors, and then he'll be considered votes
Speaker 78: three will be considered along with Bill Belichick the coach,
Speaker 78: and Robert Kraft, the contributor. Finals. You're going to take
Speaker 78: three of those five. So what happened last year was
Speaker 78: they cannibalized each other, and if you do the math,
Speaker 78: you can kind of figure out why this year maybe
Speaker 78: it won't be that way because there's a feeling that
Speaker 78: Craft and belichicking are sort of slamm dunk maybe I
Speaker 78: don't know. Well, that then means you're only what one senior,
Speaker 78: but he has to get eighty percent of the vote.
Speaker 78: And again, they could cannibalize each other so that you
Speaker 78: have only let's say Raft in Belichick vote. That's the
Speaker 78: way it goes.
Speaker 18: Conceivably you could have no one. Am I right? If
Speaker 18: no one get conceivably the class could have no one.
Speaker 78: Yeah, I don't know that that's the case. I would
Speaker 78: have to go back and read the fine print.
Speaker 58: Again.
Speaker 78: I don't think that's the case. But you know, i'd
Speaker 78: say out sensibly the teams that way. I know when
Speaker 78: these rules are drawn up. I had a historian call
Speaker 78: me and say, you know what's gonna happen. You're going
Speaker 78: to get no more than maybe four people for the
Speaker 78: entire class. And he was frightening.
Speaker 58: Now we have four people for the fire fall third.
Speaker 78: Past years we had seven. So so that when you
Speaker 78: talk about Ken Anderson, that's going to be the concern
Speaker 78: here if you assume Belichick and Craft are going to
Speaker 78: get in, and some people do this and push back
Speaker 78: on either and it's not that it's not or both.
Speaker 78: But it's not worth going into some perspective. I don't
Speaker 78: think enough to consider that they're going to not get
Speaker 78: twenty percent or eighty percent of that vote that the
Speaker 78: roll if you had twenty five percent vote against and
Speaker 78: you think that's possible, I don't. So you go, there's
Speaker 78: two spots that are taken. So now we got one,
Speaker 78: and of those three, that individual has to get eighty
Speaker 78: percent or more, and it's only one you can't have.
Speaker 78: Let's say you're not going to have all three get
Speaker 78: a eight percent, but let's just say it's Roger Craig,
Speaker 78: but he got seventy five percent not getting in. And
Speaker 78: so those three guys, as I said, could scandibalize each other.
Speaker 78: That happened last year or for the reason still in charge.
Speaker 78: One convinced got in because he was a recent guy
Speaker 78: and people kind of say, look at that record, oh yeah,
Speaker 78: he should get in, all right, but you know what happened.
Speaker 78: He was the only one of five. Did that happen again,
Speaker 78: I don't think so that was crafted in felicheck up.
Speaker 18: So the maximum number that could come out of this
Speaker 18: when you factor in the contributor, the coach and the
Speaker 18: senior committee players, The maximum that could get in would
Speaker 18: be three. Three, is that what we're saying Raft? Okay, correct?
Speaker 18: And so we're thinking here that Kraft and Belichick could
Speaker 18: both go in together. Obviously, that would be one of
Speaker 18: the finest That would be one of the greatest shots
Speaker 18: in the world of Belichick and Craft together on a stage,
Speaker 18: regardless of where it is. But over and above that,
Speaker 18: you've got Anderson, Craig and Greenwood. I mean, all three
Speaker 18: of them are deserving to be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 18: But only one of those three then would would then
Speaker 18: be able to qualify. So there's no way you're going
Speaker 18: to get two players out.
Speaker 78: Of there, right, No no way. And that one person
Speaker 78: has to have eighty percent of the votes. He doesn't,
Speaker 78: he's not getting in. So let's just say, and you know, Ken,
Speaker 78: we're on a time to stay. But let's just say
Speaker 78: you like Pelichick and Craft, you go, I want to
Speaker 78: put the men, So you vote for Greenwood.
Speaker 58: Okay, I say the.
Speaker 78: Same thing, But I'm voting for Craig, someone else is
Speaker 78: voting for somebody else's voting for He's voting for Ken Anderson.
Speaker 78: He's okay, we're all I mean, so we're what we're
Speaker 78: doing is we're first in those three votes, so they
Speaker 78: none of them can get eighty percent and and so
Speaker 78: you're left with nothing. And that wasn't the intention. But
Speaker 78: just you know, read the tea leaves to we's getting chafted.
Speaker 78: The seniors are. You know, they're far more qualified seniors
Speaker 78: than there are qualified coaches and contributors. And I've said
Speaker 78: for a long time now, since they change this process,
Speaker 78: let's do what we did when we consider them all together,
Speaker 78: be way back when, but the seniors, coaches and contributors
Speaker 78: all in the same market and in the same back
Speaker 78: and basically and pull out the top three. Okay, and
Speaker 78: there's some years, and there'll be plenty of years when
Speaker 78: you don't have a contributor, you don't have a coach,
Speaker 78: because they just aren't that many. They're over fifty all
Speaker 78: decades players who are sitting there who've never discussed. And
Speaker 78: that's why Ken Anderson's an anomaly. He has been discussed.
Speaker 78: He was discussed as a modern ear candidate back in
Speaker 78: ninety six to ninety eight. He hasn't been discussed in them.
Speaker 18: Yeah, well, okay, okay, there's the what was the idea
Speaker 18: behind them. I mean, would why would it change? Were
Speaker 18: there too many people going in? Why would they change
Speaker 18: the process.
Speaker 78: There was a feeling among some people, and I'd say
Speaker 78: probably some Hall of famer's voice it. As we know,
Speaker 78: Dion Standers is one of them, that there were people
Speaker 78: they didn't feel we're qualified who got into the prof
Speaker 78: Hall of Fame. They thought we were letting some people
Speaker 78: in who weren't necessarily a Hall of Fame qualified. I
Speaker 78: would say, I don't necessarily disagree with that, but I
Speaker 78: thought it was a valid point and some that should
Speaker 78: have been considered that all of a sudden we went
Speaker 78: from one end of the spectrum to the other. And
Speaker 78: it happened because the Hall of Fame I think, was
Speaker 78: responsive to what they were saying and heard this from
Speaker 78: other people and said, okay, we probably should up the
Speaker 78: bar a little bit. But they upped it so far
Speaker 78: that the seniors now have a tough time getting in.
Speaker 78: Whereas you know before, when Jim Porter took over, he
Speaker 78: listened to us saying, there's so many qualified seniors, we
Speaker 78: need to get more than one in. Each year was one,
Speaker 78: and then two, and one and then two. They did
Speaker 78: it every of the year of the into but he said, Okay,
Speaker 78: we're gonna do a maximumber three hawlllujah. And and so
Speaker 78: now we got in people like Ken Riley we should
Speaker 78: have been in. Okay, then Riley gets in. But but
Speaker 78: now if Keim Riley comes up under this kind of
Speaker 78: strategy and this kind of scenario, he's going to have
Speaker 78: a tough time getting in. You if you had him
Speaker 78: in this year's plaff, you know, haven't helped the guys
Speaker 78: going against Bill Belichick and Robert Croft, because I think
Speaker 78: there is going to be just a maximum one guy.
Speaker 78: And I would say, honestly written out bright to bet
Speaker 78: let's say being Craft and Belichick and maybe maybe the
Speaker 78: one that would be Roger Craig because he's more recent.
Speaker 78: There is a recency bias for me that bothers them.
Speaker 78: And if I think if you look at the history
Speaker 78: of what we're doing here, to apply uh as a
Speaker 78: senior and played before nineteen seventy, you need not apply
Speaker 78: because you're not getting in, not getting in, And there
Speaker 78: are plenty of guys and you and I are all
Speaker 78: enough to remember Del Shaffer, Jimmy Pang now Wizards guys
Speaker 78: who should be in, and they just don't get anymore.
Speaker 18: Del Schaffner was a wonderful wide receiver, had some medical
Speaker 18: issues during his career and played through them. I thought
Speaker 18: he was thought it was great. Elsie Greenwood. I mean,
Speaker 18: I hate to say it's sitting in Cincinnati. He was
Speaker 18: a massive talent along that Steelers and Craig you know,
Speaker 18: wins a suit he wanted. You might have went on
Speaker 18: two super Bowl winning teams. Three there you go. I
Speaker 18: only had him on one three super Bowl winning teams.
Speaker 18: All right, well, we'll hold We'll keep our fingers crossed
Speaker 18: for Ken Anderson. Willie Anderson is still up. I think, Uh,
Speaker 18: he was progressing through the product voting process and getting
Speaker 18: in these rooms closer to it. Uh do you hold
Speaker 18: out hope for him this year or what do you
Speaker 18: think about Willie?
Speaker 78: I hold out hope, but because of this process and
Speaker 78: I don't know what's going on anymore. I mean, we
Speaker 78: used to say, okay, we're putting five modern era guys
Speaker 78: at night five and that's generally was eight people. It
Speaker 78: was five modern era guys and three seniors and or
Speaker 78: coach eight. But then we go we go to and
Speaker 78: we went to FORBI because the projects had changed. So yeah,
Speaker 78: you want to make it tougher. He did make it tougher.
Speaker 18: Yeah, and confusing for the population. You know, the general
Speaker 18: populus just absolutely crazy. We're chatting with Clark Judge. Okay,
Speaker 18: we got Bengals Bills today. There are two key games
Speaker 18: that I'm looking at today. One is Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
Speaker 18: That's in Baltimore, and of course today it's Bengals and Bills.
Speaker 18: We'll leave the Pittsburgh Baltimore game aside. Bengals and Bills.
Speaker 18: Burrows back, it's in Buffalo. They match up pretty well
Speaker 18: with Buffalo. Buffalo doesn't have us. It's big, passing, catching
Speaker 18: tight end. They've turned the ball over a lot in
Speaker 18: the last four games, but still in all, they got
Speaker 18: James Cook and they've got the best rushing offense in
Speaker 18: the NFL. How do you see this thing playing out?
Speaker 78: I see it as they must win for the Bengals.
Speaker 78: I think they've got a chance. I always like Buffle
Speaker 78: at home, always do because they've got Josh Allen, and
Speaker 78: I think Josh Allen is Superman. But you guys have
Speaker 78: got Superman.
Speaker 18: Also.
Speaker 78: When you watch Joe Burrow come back, the impact he
Speaker 78: has on a ball club, all you can do is
Speaker 78: watch that game last weekend and the defense is playing
Speaker 78: much better or yeah, I'm playing better because not on
Speaker 78: the field all the time, and Joe Burrow's moving that
Speaker 78: club up and down the field. And I said this
Speaker 78: to you before we went on the air. I absolutely
Speaker 78: love to watch him play. But I love everything about
Speaker 78: this guy. How many people would have come back from
Speaker 78: that injury before they were supposed to and say, oh,
Speaker 78: why would I think back for a team that's going nowhere?
Speaker 78: Because I love this game and I'm getting paid a
Speaker 78: lot of money to play a kid's game. His attitude,
Speaker 78: it's got to be something that really has an impact
Speaker 78: on every one of those people in the locker room
Speaker 78: and they go, you.
Speaker 2: Know what, we got a shot.
Speaker 78: Now, it's a long shot. They have to win this game, obviously,
Speaker 78: but you look at the rest of the schedule, they
Speaker 78: could last the field. And as you mentioned that Steelers
Speaker 78: Ravens game, that's a big win because, as you also
Speaker 78: mentioned earlier, you can't afford for one of those teams
Speaker 78: this sweet. Both of them are on their heels, and
Speaker 78: there's so much on the heels of people in Pittsburgh
Speaker 78: are saying, hey, it's a time for Mike Tomlin to
Speaker 78: go and Ben Roethlisberger say, I think it is. I mean,
Speaker 78: that's the team that's sort of been dis array, but
Speaker 78: the Ravens didn't look any good last week into the Bengals.
Speaker 78: It's a different Bengals team with Joe Burrow, and it
Speaker 78: should be because he's a senior and elite quarterback. I
Speaker 78: think I still, as I said, I favored Buffalo at
Speaker 78: home only because shot jall On five plays the win there.
Speaker 78: And and I realized, you know, a couple of years
Speaker 78: ago whenever it was that the Bengals didn't win. But
Speaker 78: you've got a pressure Burrow. You've got to if you
Speaker 78: can't pressure Burrow, fix you a part. But I probably
Speaker 78: like the Bills here. I would love love to see
Speaker 78: the Bengals get it because it's a great story. What
Speaker 78: what Joe Burrow is doing is a great story, whether
Speaker 78: it win or lose it. He's coming back with what
Speaker 78: he did terrific. I just I admire the guys.
Speaker 18: Yeah, and it's a big game for the Bills too.
Speaker 18: I mean, they got their heels dug in. They still
Speaker 18: think they got a shot at catching New England. So
Speaker 18: there's there's a little bit on the line for them
Speaker 18: in this game today as well. All right, Clark, we'll
Speaker 18: see how this all plays out with the Hall of
Speaker 18: Fame in the next couple of weeks. Uh, you have
Speaker 18: a great holiday and hopefully you know I can talk
Speaker 18: again closer as we get to the voting. Thanks.
Speaker 58: I look forward to it.
Speaker 78: And did I confuse you subsicion?
Speaker 18: Well, I'm a man who is easily confluted. Confused, Clark,
Speaker 18: So the ball was really really low for me there with.
Speaker 18: But but yes you did. But nevertheless, we'll figure it out. Thanks.
Speaker 58: I got my job done.
Speaker 30: You bet.
Speaker 79: You bet.
Speaker 18: The Bengals have to win today. I think the other
Speaker 18: thing that has to happen, and I don't want to
Speaker 18: get too far ahead of this thing, but Baltimore plays
Speaker 18: Pittsburgh today. They play the Ravens or the Ravens play
Speaker 18: the Steelers again at the end of the season final game.
Speaker 18: That game against the Ravens will be in Pittsburgh. They
Speaker 18: got two games left home and home.
Speaker 8: You don't want.
Speaker 18: Whoever wins today to win again the last game of
Speaker 18: the season. You don't want to sweep by either the
Speaker 18: Ravens or the Steelers. You don't want it sweep gets
Speaker 18: that team to eight wins, and if that's a sweep,
Speaker 18: Pittsburgh's got a game at home against Miami. Yeah, they
Speaker 18: got to play Cleveland. Yeah, they got to go to Detroit.
Speaker 18: You don't want that. Baltimore, you don't want them to sweep.
Speaker 18: After today they come here, then they play the Pats
Speaker 18: not easy at green Bay, and then that game with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 18: You don't want one of those teams to sweep. You
Speaker 18: don't want them to get to eight wins. And then
Speaker 18: all have to they all only have to figure out
Speaker 18: that one team that gets a only has to figure
Speaker 18: out to get one more. But that's a lot of
Speaker 18: that that that's so far in advance, it's it's kind
Speaker 18: of crazy. Your eyeballs will rule in the back of
Speaker 18: your head if you too much time on this stuff.
Speaker 18: Ten twenty four still to come. Lee Stirling and his
Speaker 18: five games he says, will be winners for you today

Speaker 18: What happened in Cincinnati sports history, Well, let's go back
Speaker 18: eleven years to the twenty fourteen season. The Bengals were
Speaker 18: at home against the Steelers on this particular date, and
Speaker 18: Pittsburgh beat the Bengals forty two to twenty one. Bengals
Speaker 18: went to eight four and one after that they were
Speaker 18: a playoff team. Of course that year Andy Dalton twenty
Speaker 18: one of twenty nine, three hundred and two yards, two touchdowns,
Speaker 18: throwing one touchdown, rushing aj Green as they say, went
Speaker 18: off eleven catches, two hundred and twenty four yards and
Speaker 18: a touchdown. But even even better, fifty years ago today,
Speaker 18: the Bengals flew out to Philadelphia to take on the
Speaker 18: Eagles and won thirty one to nothing. They went to
Speaker 18: ten and two en Roots to an eleven and three
Speaker 18: season and a playoff berth Ken Anderson twenty of thirty five,
Speaker 18: two hundred and twenty eight yards, a touchdown, two interceptions.
Speaker 18: Four interceptions total for the Bengals defense, including left cornerback
Speaker 18: Marvin Cobb for a good cornerback on that team. Two
Speaker 18: interceptions for Cobb in that game in a thirty one
Speaker 18: nothing shutout of Philadelphia. That's what happened on this date
Speaker 18: in Cincinnati sports history. All right, straight ahead, Lee Stirling,

Speaker 86: prohibits the Department of Justice from accessing critical evidence seized
Speaker 86: from the computer of Daniel Richmond, a professor and confidant
Speaker 86: of KMY who served as his intermediary to the news media.
Speaker 86: Prosecutors had relied on files seized years ago without obtaining
Speaker 86: a new warrant, and the judge ruled that the DOJ's
Speaker 86: retention of those files violated Richmond's Fourth Amendment rights, which
Speaker 86: protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Peter Harralambu's ABC News.

Speaker 18: It is the RNL Terriers pregame Show. It's presented by
Speaker 18: your Cincinnati and the Northern Kentucky Toyota Dealers. I am Kimber.
Speaker 18: We count out of the Bengals and the Bills. Bengals
Speaker 18: have to win out, but they got to win the
Speaker 18: day to win out right. I mean when a coach
Speaker 18: says take it one game at a time, this is
Speaker 18: exactly what he means. So okay, Joe Burrow, you're back,
Speaker 18: second game back from your toe injury. How do you
Speaker 18: win this one.
Speaker 30: Same way you win any game?
Speaker 88: Just discipline, winning the turnover battle, playing smart, playing physical,
Speaker 88: and going about your business each and every day trying
Speaker 88: to get better. There's no secret formula. You just got
Speaker 88: to go through the process week to week and attack
Speaker 88: the plan with intensity and understand it. Understand it to
Speaker 88: a point that you can go out and execute it
Speaker 88: in front of the world, and that's that's what we
Speaker 88: plan to do.
Speaker 18: Well, let's see if that's what happens. Let's see if
Speaker 18: that's what happens, we.
Speaker 8: Hope, we hope.
Speaker 18: Time now to look for the important piece in this game.
Speaker 18: How do you break it down to just one thing?
Speaker 18: How every piece is important? Brought to you by Denado's Pizza.
Speaker 18: Where every piece is important. Donado's is the official pizza
Speaker 18: of your Cincinnati Bengals go a number of ways on
Speaker 18: this one. I'm looking at the Bells offense. They've got
Speaker 18: a questionable starter at right tackle, Spencer Brown. Dalton Kinkay.
Speaker 18: Their talented tight end is questionable. Although we're told he
Speaker 18: is going to try and give it a go, he's
Speaker 18: got a knee problem. So you got the right side
Speaker 18: of that Bill's offensive line a little banged up, if
Speaker 18: not suspect, I think this is going to be a
Speaker 18: game where it might be the Bengals defensive front that
Speaker 18: will carry this team. Now you're gonna say that's crazy.
Speaker 18: They don't have Trey Hendricks and nobody have Joseph Asai,
Speaker 18: who is terrific against the Ravens on Thursday night of
Speaker 18: last week, Miles Murphy, who has been an underachiever up
Speaker 18: until about the last two games in his time here
Speaker 18: in Cincinnati. This is a door opener for both of
Speaker 18: these guys. If Osai can keep bringing it and can
Speaker 18: contain the quarterback Josh Allen from getting outside the pocket,
Speaker 18: it's going to a long way in the Bengals winning
Speaker 18: this game. So every piece is important, there's no question
Speaker 18: about it. But if you're looking for two, I just
Speaker 18: gave you to Miles Murphy Joseph Osai against a line
Speaker 18: that the Bills have when healthy is a tad suspect,
Speaker 18: but now with their right tackle and their best tight
Speaker 18: end not I think that's that's worth keeping an eye
Speaker 18: on today. It's among five games that our buddy from
Speaker 18: Paramount Sports, Lee Sterling, is watching. He's got five games
Speaker 18: he wants to handicap for you right now that you
Speaker 18: could make big dollars on. Should you choose to wager today?
Speaker 18: Let's bring them in, Lee Sterling, how are you on
Speaker 18: this glorious game day.
Speaker 89: I'm great, well, not so great about watching the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 89: my team and the Jets, So we'll leave that one out.
Speaker 2: With that one out, so, uh, this was probably going
Speaker 2: to take at.
Speaker 18: The other five and seven. They're still hanging around, aren't they?
Speaker 18: The Dolphins?
Speaker 89: Yeah, they are.
Speaker 79: But I have a nephew.
Speaker 89: He when the Dolphins went one in fifteen that one
Speaker 89: year and Cleo Lemon led them to the win against
Speaker 89: the Ravens, you're.
Speaker 30: Ready for this.
Speaker 89: He predicted they were going to go sixteen and oh
Speaker 89: that year. Every single week the Dolphins continue to win.
Speaker 79: He sends me a picture, you know.
Speaker 18: Of all the teams and the Dolphins in the hunt.
Speaker 2: Still mathematically in the hunts.
Speaker 79: So I might take a sedative before that came out.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to do is that's one of the games.
Speaker 79: That's one of the.
Speaker 89: Games I'll tape and watch a day or two later.
Speaker 18: There you go, Well, here's a good one. We got
Speaker 18: the six and six Dealers at the six and six Ravens.
Speaker 18: Ravens are giving five and a half. Baltimore, as we
Speaker 18: both know, was awful against the Bengals a couple of
Speaker 18: weeks ago, but they were awful against Pittsburgh last year
Speaker 18: in that in that wild card game. The thing that
Speaker 18: them was that rushing yards. They rushed for two hundred
Speaker 18: and ninety nine against the Steelers, Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh takes the
Speaker 18: ball away, and Baltimore turned it over five times against
Speaker 18: the Bengals. So here they are at home the Ravens
Speaker 18: giving five and a half.
Speaker 89: What do you think, Well, I don't think they're going
Speaker 89: to go all of a sudden from turning ball over
Speaker 89: five times to none.
Speaker 79: But with a couple of takeaways.
Speaker 18: Steelers don't have to run the ball here.
Speaker 89: They're only running the ball for ninety seven yards per game,
Speaker 89: which is twenty seventh in the NFL out of thirty
Speaker 89: two teams. Even when they doubled.
Speaker 79: It that rushing output at Chicago.
Speaker 89: They still found a way to lose the game here.
Speaker 89: But I can't trust Baltimore either. What these two teams,
Speaker 89: they're sitting at six and six. They remind me of
Speaker 89: like race horses, you know that had better days and
Speaker 89: they're running around the track.
Speaker 18: At six and six.
Speaker 79: You need to stay alive.
Speaker 89: And they're kind of looking back and they're like, oh,
Speaker 89: Bengals are four and eight, we better get y up
Speaker 89: a little bit. If they win, we could be in trouble.
Speaker 89: I think Baltimore will find a way to win the
Speaker 89: game year twenty seven to twenty three, But I think
Speaker 89: the right side might be to take Pittsburgh plus the
Speaker 89: six and a half.
Speaker 18: So take take the Steelers and the points. Ravens, though
Speaker 18: win the game, which again would put them a leg
Speaker 18: up in the AFC North. I didn't see this until
Speaker 18: I actually researched this next one eight and four Colts,
Speaker 18: eight and four Jags or meeting in Jacksonville to day,
Speaker 18: Jags are getting points point and a half. Indianapolis hasn't
Speaker 18: won in Jacksonville since twenty fourteen. Since twenty fourteen, that's
Speaker 18: just an amazing history. Here's Jacksonville, one of the top
Speaker 18: ranked defenses in the NFL, and the Colts have lost
Speaker 18: two in a row. Man, this could be tough sledding
Speaker 18: again for the Colts.
Speaker 28: Huh.
Speaker 18: Well, that's what I thought.
Speaker 89: And I'm looking at the game and I'm saying, well, okay,
Speaker 89: and I watched last week. Indianapolis had some horrible calls
Speaker 89: against them, and officiating was terrible in their game against
Speaker 89: the Texans. I mean three or four calls that clearly
Speaker 89: either shouldn't have been called or went the other way.
Speaker 89: So that being said here, I still think they're very talented.
Speaker 89: I know Sauce isn't playing he's going to be out
Speaker 89: a little bit. But bottom line is they can run
Speaker 89: and throw the football well, and Jacksonville they need to
Speaker 89: have the running game to set up play action in
Speaker 89: their passing game. On top of that, one key starters
Speaker 89: out for Jacksonville on the offensive line, and they might
Speaker 89: be missing another two. There are some game time decisions there.
Speaker 89: We'll see if they come out and they're able to
Speaker 89: give it a go. But I think they're compromised there
Speaker 89: a little bit here. I like Indianapolis. Here they're begging you,
Speaker 89: begging you to take Jacksonville. They're saying you get a
Speaker 89: home underdog. They're getting one and a half points. They
Speaker 89: have won ten straight. Don't fall for the trap, Indianapolis,
Speaker 89: the right team is favored twenty.
Speaker 18: Seven to twenty twenty seven to twenty Indy. Okay, I'll
Speaker 18: put the calls at nine and four. The AFC South,
Speaker 18: it's a phenomenal division this year. I mean it's so competitive.
Speaker 18: You got the Texans at seven and five. Here they
Speaker 18: are today at the Tree said six and six. Chiefs
Speaker 18: are giving the Texans three. Kansas City's fighting for its
Speaker 18: playoff life. I mean currently they're riding tenth leg and
Speaker 18: out of the money. But here they are giving three
Speaker 18: and they haven't looked good and a Texans team that
Speaker 18: has a defense that will just maul you. What do
Speaker 18: you think.
Speaker 79: I'm going to take a different approach to this game.
Speaker 2: Okay, and here's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 89: So most people look at this game, they'll say Patrick
Speaker 89: my homes Oh is an e wonderful. They're gonna say CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 89: he's a top ten quarterback. Totals forty two. We just
Speaker 89: need a twenty three to twenty game.
Speaker 8: We'll take the over.
Speaker 79: Well, you got a Houston defense might be the best.
Speaker 89: In the NFL right now.
Speaker 79: You have a Kansas City.
Speaker 89: Defense top five, top six, led by Steve Spagnola, one
Speaker 89: of the greatest defensive coordinators there ever has been.
Speaker 2: And you have both teams.
Speaker 89: Offensive lines aren't good Houston because they're a bottom five
Speaker 89: offensive line.
Speaker 79: In Kansas City because the injuries.
Speaker 18: They might playing some.
Speaker 89: Guys today, but we're on the practice squad a week
Speaker 89: or two ago.
Speaker 2: So with those I think poors offensive lines.
Speaker 89: And also whether it's gonna be cold, I mean it's
Speaker 89: gonna be low twenty for this game, windy, rainy.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna limit the quarterbacks here.
Speaker 79: Don't fall for the trap.
Speaker 89: Another game, people will play the over, go the under
Speaker 89: forty two total points here in City Houston.
Speaker 18: Take the under. Take the under in this game. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 18: a lot. I don't know. I have a lot of
Speaker 18: friends in Philly and they're so uneasy about this Eagles team,
Speaker 18: and I'm thinking, I'm thinking myself, well, okay, I know
Speaker 18: that they didn't play the run real well against the Bears.
Speaker 18: Bears ran for almost three hundred yards. But they're playing
Speaker 18: a Chargers team today out in LA. Chargers are giving
Speaker 18: or getting two and a half. They're getting two and
Speaker 18: a half. And Herbert just had like fracture surgery out
Speaker 18: his left hand Monday. It looks like he's going to play.
Speaker 18: Why should the Chargers, I mean, I understand why they're
Speaker 18: getting points because of that. Why should Eagles fans feel
Speaker 18: a lot easy about this game?
Speaker 89: Well they should because they're going to be without one
Speaker 89: of their starting defensive tackles, maybe their top two or
Speaker 89: top three player on the team, and Jaylen Carter he's
Speaker 89: out and the.
Speaker 18: Offense can't do anything.
Speaker 79: I mean, this is a game with.
Speaker 89: Where I'm going to take another different approach.
Speaker 30: We haven't done this.
Speaker 89: I don't know if we've ever given out two unders,
Speaker 89: but I think this is a dead under here. I
Speaker 89: think the Chargers are going to play it safe their
Speaker 89: offensive line. They don't want to take a chance with
Speaker 89: a pass rush of Philadelphia. You know, Jalen Phelps came
Speaker 89: over from the Dolphins and he's paying dividends. But this
Speaker 89: total year is at forty one. I think both teams
Speaker 89: just want to make sure they don't turn the ball over.
Speaker 89: They want to protect their quarterbacks here. Both teams can't
Speaker 89: push the ball down the field here, and both special
Speaker 89: teams question marks also under forty one total points here,
Speaker 89: I think we're going to see like a seventeen thirteen game.
Speaker 89: Either way, Why take a chance when you might have
Speaker 89: seven to ten points of leeway here with a total
Speaker 89: or second.
Speaker 18: Under of the show under take the total is forty one.
Speaker 18: Take the under. Well, that just leads us into December.
Speaker 18: Here we are the first games of December. Now, Paramount Sports,
Speaker 18: you guys love to hang a tag on these months,
Speaker 18: regardless of what the months is. What are we calling December?
Speaker 18: Paramount Sports?
Speaker 2: Double down December?
Speaker 89: So do you want to hop on board with us
Speaker 89: one thirty seven, seventeen and one run in the last
Speaker 89: eleven weeks. Let me repeat that, thirty seven wins, just
Speaker 89: seventeen losses and one tie.
Speaker 18: The last eleven weeks.
Speaker 2: We won nine of the eleven weeks. A couple of
Speaker 2: them have been five to oho and.
Speaker 18: Four and one weeks.
Speaker 79: You want to give us a shot, now's the time.
Speaker 79: Five selections today and five selections.
Speaker 89: Every single Sunday through the end of December. How about
Speaker 89: this just one hundred and ninety seven dollars.
Speaker 18: It's called Lee's NFL.
Speaker 89: Sunday Golden Ticket. Just one hundred and ninety seven dollars.
Speaker 89: One place Paramount sports dot Com.
Speaker 18: And again for that one ninety seven, what do you get?
Speaker 89: You get five selections today, my top five plays at
Speaker 89: games that I'm betting you're going to get five each
Speaker 89: Sunday the next four Sundays, going all the way into
Speaker 89: the new year.
Speaker 30: That's great, it's great.
Speaker 18: This is a big game for the Bengals today in Buffalo.
Speaker 18: The Bills are giving five and a half. Buffalo turns
Speaker 18: the ball over a lotly. I mean, they've had six
Speaker 18: in their last ten eleven turnovers in their last four
Speaker 18: and Josh Allen has had six of them. Cincinnati's defense
Speaker 18: look good, got admitted against Baltimore. But I think James
Speaker 18: Cook may have a big day here. It seems like
Speaker 18: Buffalo's got the best rush offense in the NFL. It's
Speaker 18: going to be cold, it's in Buffalo. Huge game for
Speaker 18: the Bengals and they survive Cook running wild on the
Speaker 18: field there.
Speaker 89: Well, I have him in my fantasy and he's been
Speaker 89: the one that's kept me in the top three in
Speaker 89: my fantasy league.
Speaker 79: So I do you know? Obviously, I know that he is.
Speaker 89: That good and he is someone running and catching the
Speaker 89: ball right now. He's in top two, top three in
Speaker 89: the league.
Speaker 18: He is that deadly. But they taught a lot of weaknesses.
Speaker 89: I don't think their offensive line is top tier. I
Speaker 89: think the receivers get very little separation and drop balls,
Speaker 89: and then their defense. They've had a ton of injuries
Speaker 89: here and they're hot and cold. I mean, they've had
Speaker 89: some good weeks. They had a great game planning and
Speaker 89: plays called by Joe Brady last week against a team
Speaker 89: that was giving him the run, daring him to run
Speaker 89: the football and laying back for the past. So what
Speaker 89: did they do they take what they were given. But
Speaker 89: I still don't think Buffalo's top three team in the
Speaker 89: ANFC and Joe Burrow on the field. Cincinnati number one
Speaker 89: in time of possession on the road, so they control
Speaker 89: the ball in the clock. For some reason, the defense
Speaker 89: plays better when Joe Burrow starts. I think they're more
Speaker 89: inspired and they hustle around a little more. And that's
Speaker 89: a lot what defense is about.
Speaker 18: Obviously, talent is number one.
Speaker 89: But after that, it's you know, sometimes you get knocked down,
Speaker 89: getting up off your feet and trying to make the play.
Speaker 89: Sometimes you know when that running back or that receiver
Speaker 89: is trying to get loose here. So I like the
Speaker 89: match up here one team favorite Bengals pull off the
Speaker 89: socker here thirty to.
Speaker 18: Twenty seven, thirty to twenty seven. Yes, sir, keeps the
Speaker 18: hope of the dream alive.
Speaker 30: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 18: Hey, Lee, have a great week. You and I will
Speaker 18: visit next week. Until then, stay healthy.
Speaker 79: Okay, sounds good, Take care see again.
Speaker 18: Okay. So for the record, for the record, he likes
Speaker 18: the Steelers and the points. He thinks the Ravens way
Speaker 18: anybody likes the Steelers with the points. He wants the Colts.
Speaker 18: He says, twenty seven and twenty Colts. Colts, who've got
Speaker 18: to give a point and a half to the Jaguars
Speaker 18: in that game. But he said, go with the Colts. Now,
Speaker 18: He's got two games where the total is in play
Speaker 18: Texas Chief, Texans Chief. He didn't pick a winner. He said,
Speaker 18: the total is forty two. In this game, take the under.
Speaker 18: Eagles Chargers didn't pick a winner. The total is forty one.
Speaker 18: He said, take the under. And then he likes the
Speaker 18: Bengals today and you don't need the points. He says,
Speaker 18: they win straight up thirty to twenty seven. He went
Speaker 18: three and two last week for us. Overall, with the
Speaker 18: rest of his picks he did much better, but for
Speaker 18: our stake last week he went three and two. See
Speaker 18: how he does this week. Let you know next week.

Speaker 18: So this is going to be a collective thing. I'm
Speaker 18: going to drop it on the defense against the Ravens
Speaker 18: on Thanksgiving Night, Baltimore had the ball for thirteen series thirteen.
Speaker 18: Six of those thirteen series featured six drives, six drives
Speaker 18: that started with zero or less yards zero or less yards.
Speaker 18: Think about that, thirteen drives, I'm sorry, thirteen possessions. Six
Speaker 18: drives inside those thirteen possessions started on first down with
Speaker 18: zero yards or less. Make a team underperform on first down,
Speaker 18: you stand a better chance of getting off the field
Speaker 18: on third down. Now, Buffalo has got a couple of
Speaker 18: things going forward in this game too. Yes they're eight
Speaker 18: and four, Yes they're two games behind New England in
Speaker 18: the chase for the AFC East Division title. But Buffalo
Speaker 18: has played historically well in December since twenty twenty. Buffalo
Speaker 18: is twelve and one in December twelve and one, and
Speaker 18: why well for a lot of the reasons that they're
Speaker 18: not accomplishing. Now here's Josh Allen on that December record.
Speaker 94: I mean, I don't know the statistics or anything like that.
Speaker 94: I'm assuming that we've done a good job of protecting
Speaker 94: the football, you know, and especially especially games at home,
Speaker 94: being able to use cadence and making sure that we're
Speaker 94: communicating well.
Speaker 30: I think that helps.
Speaker 94: But we got a again daunting task this week against
Speaker 94: a team that's playing really well. Obviously, Joe coming back
Speaker 94: is a huge spark for them, you know, and it's
Speaker 94: gonna be all hands on deck.
Speaker 18: Yes, it is, including it linebacker because Terrell Bernard is out,
Speaker 18: Shaq Thompson has to step in. Aging veteran Shaq Thompson
Speaker 18: has to step in. He knows what his role is today.
Speaker 95: Limited penalties, create turnovers, you know, limit turnovers as the
Speaker 95: offense and you know, just keep putting drives together and
Speaker 95: the defense is just get off the field three and
Speaker 95: ows and create turnovers. Score on defense. You know, that's
Speaker 95: gonna be one way, really to me, the only way
Speaker 95: to separate ourselves. Or even if they get in the
Speaker 95: red zone, you know, three points are less, right, don't
Speaker 95: let them get in.
Speaker 18: Sounds like maybe a strategy for the Bengals as well.
Speaker 18: As we approach the two hour mark before kickoff in Buffalo.
Speaker 18: So which NFL contenders can you actually trust at this
Speaker 18: point of the year. CBS Sports Zach Peerless is next.

Speaker 4: if true, would violate international law, but some Republicans calling
Speaker 4: the four strikes lawful and necessary. Here's Democratic Representative Adam
Speaker 4: Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the House Armed
Speaker 4: Services Committee, on ABC's This Week.
Speaker 96: If it is a war, then there should be either

Speaker 96: this seems to go directly against Donald Trump's pledge to

Speaker 18: Last time out against the Steelers one hundred forty four yards,

Speaker 18: put up one hundred and fourteen against the Chiefs earlier
Speaker 18: this year, two hundred and sixteen on the ground against
Speaker 18: the Panthers back in October, and he had one hundred
Speaker 18: and thirty two against the Jets all the way back
Speaker 18: in September. He has twelve hundred and twenty eight yards
Speaker 18: so far running the football for the Buffalo Bills, and
Speaker 18: Zach Taylor knows stopping this this guy is job one.
Speaker 48: He's got great patience and vision and quickness and acceleration
Speaker 48: and play strength. So I mean, you can just go
Speaker 48: on and on and name every intangible and physical trait
Speaker 48: you want to running back to have. He has it
Speaker 48: a lot of confidence in the scheme. I know from
Speaker 48: working with Aaron Kromer in the past, the line coach.
Speaker 48: He does a great job and Joe Brady painting a
Speaker 48: vision for what they want in the run game and
Speaker 48: how it's supposed to be from a technique standpoint, where
Speaker 48: we're supposed to hit. And so you've seen back have success,
Speaker 48: you know, and so I don't think that's shocking. And
Speaker 48: it's not even just him. He's a great back, but
Speaker 48: the other backs get in there and do great job
Speaker 48: as well. So really dangerous attack.
Speaker 18: Yeah, got to watch out for him today, particularly on
Speaker 18: a day where the field may be a little slick.
Speaker 18: Ball control for both teams very important. The Bengals chances
Speaker 18: of making the playoffs are slim as of right now.
Speaker 18: There's somewhere between two to seven percent. A lot of
Speaker 18: the models are showing them as long shots. In fact,
Speaker 18: NFL have them at two percent. They got to win
Speaker 18: out get some significant help. If they beat Buffalo today,
Speaker 18: well then that percentage gets a little bit better. The
Speaker 18: bottom line is the only thing they can take care
Speaker 18: of is themselves, and that is worrying about Buffalo. The
Speaker 18: NFL is jumbled this year. This is the first time
Speaker 18: in NFL history where there are five divisions with a
Speaker 18: lead of under one game this late in the season,
Speaker 18: and because of that, predicting who wins what division and
Speaker 18: who the wild cards are are very difficult. Yet there
Speaker 18: is someone at cbssports dot com who is attempting to
Speaker 18: do that. He is Zach Peerless, and he has a
Speaker 18: story out right now that says which NFL contenders can
Speaker 18: you actually trust? Sorting twenty playoff hope falls into tiers
Speaker 18: in this a parody filled season. Zach Peerless checking in
Speaker 18: now from the home office, and it's great to have
Speaker 18: him here on seven hundred WLW on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 18: And Zach, how are you on this glorious game day?
Speaker 2: I'm great, I'm great. What a wonderful week of football
Speaker 2: we have started to day?
Speaker 18: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. Now I see this
Speaker 18: this story. I don't see the Bengals on this list.
Speaker 18: So you're not a believer yet, are you?
Speaker 2: Not quite?
Speaker 55: I think that one of the toughest things for me
Speaker 55: is that they've dug themselves such a hole, and believe
Speaker 55: me that they have seen North is certainly not inspiring
Speaker 55: a lot of confidence, right now.
Speaker 2: But it's still just going to be such a call
Speaker 2: task for the Bengals to get there. There's certainly a team.
Speaker 55: I feel like we've had this talk before. They're a
Speaker 55: team that no one would want to see in the postseason.
Speaker 55: The question is did they dig themselves too deep of
Speaker 55: a hole to even be in that postseason?
Speaker 18: Well, they've got to run the table. I mean, there
Speaker 18: are some people in this town that think that if
Speaker 18: they win four of their remaining five that they're going
Speaker 18: to get in. I don't see how a sub five
Speaker 18: hundred record wins. The AFC North is as bad as
Speaker 18: that division has been. But Burrow is back and that's
Speaker 18: certainly a huge plus. Their schedule is not all that
Speaker 18: demanding once they get past this game today against the
Speaker 18: Bills and next week's game here in Cincinnati against Baltimore,
Speaker 18: and then it's Miami, Arizona and in Cleveland. But obviously
Speaker 18: any chance they have spins on these next two games.
Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, one hundred percent, right, I think that.
Speaker 55: Man the Ravens, it's just been one thing after another
Speaker 55: good season, and even as they have sort of steadied
Speaker 55: the ship record wide, their level of play has simply
Speaker 55: not really been close to what we expected.
Speaker 2: The you know, the Steelers, I always had some questions.
Speaker 55: About, and I'm actually in Baltimore today to see their showdown,
Speaker 55: but I just I have not been really impressed by
Speaker 55: the Steelers all season long. Obviously Mike Commlin knows how
Speaker 55: to pull out some smoking mirrors victories, but they just
Speaker 55: it's just not there offensively.
Speaker 2: In the Ravens.
Speaker 55: You look at this team and you've seen this core
Speaker 55: do it before, it just hasn't been the case this year.
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson just.
Speaker 55: Not really close to the quarterback that he has been,
Speaker 55: you know, for essentially his entire career, but especially the
Speaker 55: past two three years.
Speaker 2: So it's these two games.
Speaker 55: Like the Bengals, they have to do it now, certainly
Speaker 55: if they want to start today.
Speaker 2: The Bills are a beatable team.
Speaker 55: I think that Cincinnati has done a great job improving
Speaker 55: their running game throughout the year, which is kind of
Speaker 55: funny because that's the thing that they always wish they
Speaker 55: had the compliment Joe Burrow, and now they've kind of
Speaker 55: discovered it without him, now that these back will see
Speaker 55: how good that offense could be. Certainly like to see
Speaker 55: them establish the ground game today. The struggling Buffalo defense.
Speaker 18: Well, they rushed for one hundred and twenty eight a
Speaker 18: couple of Thursday nights ago against Baltimore and average about
Speaker 18: four on the ground. But you're right about their defense,
Speaker 18: it's been sub par. So I'm just wondering in your
Speaker 18: opinion was last Thursday night, Thanksgiving night? Was it an
Speaker 18: anomaly the way they played defensively or do you think
Speaker 18: something's happened here where maybe they finally figure this thing
Speaker 18: out defensively.
Speaker 55: I think there were some elements of an anomaly in there.
Speaker 55: I think you've got one punch out right.
Speaker 2: At the goal line, Isaiah likely loses the ball. You
Speaker 2: got kind of a fifty to fifty. Maybe you get it.
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't call on a Zay Flowers touchdowns.
Speaker 99: But having said that, the things that you have to
Speaker 99: do to kind of get off the mass defensively, especially
Speaker 99: in the day's NFL, you have to one get a.
Speaker 55: Little bit lucky because the offenses and the quarterbacks are
Speaker 55: so so good, and two you have to play with
Speaker 55: outstanding effort, and you saw it on the Isaiah likely fumble,
Speaker 55: especially when you have some basic struggles. The Bengals they
Speaker 55: do not tackle well. They have a lot of issues
Speaker 55: kind of over pursuing and there are just some fundamental
Speaker 55: issues that maybe can be fixed here there. But the
Speaker 55: things that have to be right are that is the effort,
Speaker 55: and you certainly saw that, and that's half the battle.
Speaker 55: Sometimes even more especially when you have a good offense.
Speaker 55: Your defense can either be really really good down to
Speaker 55: down which the Bengals they are not trending that way,
Speaker 55: or they can make a big play here or there.
Speaker 55: And that's what you saw Thursday night, is you saw
Speaker 55: the takeaways. You saw the ability to make a play
Speaker 55: here or there.
Speaker 2: And if they can get to.
Speaker 55: That level, if they're bad or mediocre for fifty plays,
Speaker 55: but they can make three or four that you know,
Speaker 55: either stop a drive or turn into points for the offense.
Speaker 2: That's really really important. You have to be able to
Speaker 2: do something, even if it's just a few plays a game.
Speaker 2: That's all that this Bengals offense might need.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, that's the hope. In your article,
Speaker 18: you break down tier by tiers, Tier one, tier two,
Speaker 18: all the way to tiers six and tier one is
Speaker 18: inner circle of trustworthiness and you've got the Rams and
Speaker 18: the Packers above everybody else that are right now playoff
Speaker 18: contenders or teams that look like they're certain for the playoffs.
Speaker 18: Tier two is interesting. Quarterbacks can carry them Chiefs, Bills, Chargers,
Speaker 18: Chiefs Bills, Chargers. The Chiefs, as you point out, are
Speaker 18: playing for their playoff lives tonight on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 18: against Houston. We already know about Buffalo, and then there's
Speaker 18: the Chargers and what they have out there. With Herbert
Speaker 18: just wondering about the Bills, let's just keep it focused here.
Speaker 18: Josh Allen is a guy that can throw his team
Speaker 18: on his back. He's also a guy that has been
Speaker 18: giving up the football a little too much via turnover.
Speaker 18: I'm just wondering of the three quarterbacks, Mahomes and Josh
Speaker 18: Allen and Justin Herbert, of those quarterbacks that can carry teams,
Speaker 18: which of those three do you think is the top
Speaker 18: in your Tier two.
Speaker 2: I think I still have to go with Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: simply because we've seen it so many times.
Speaker 79: I think that he is there.
Speaker 55: It's so interesting you look at the splits between Mahomes
Speaker 55: versus Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: In the regular season, the Bills win time after time.
Speaker 55: It gets to the postseason and Patrick Mahomes has beaten
Speaker 55: the Bills every single time, so I think obviously you're right.
Speaker 55: The Chiefs have their backs against the wall one hundred percent.
Speaker 55: This is about as close to a must win game
Speaker 55: as it gets for especially this It's late in the year,
Speaker 55: but it's early to have must win games already. The
Speaker 55: Chiefs have run out of roomer error, so I'm really
Speaker 55: interested to see Patrick Mahomes. He was excellent on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 55: they still lost, so questions about the defense have crept up.
Speaker 55: Patrick Mahomes has to be pretty close to perfect, and
Speaker 55: they're gonna have to do it against a very very
Speaker 55: good Texans defense, and the Chiefs are going to be
Speaker 55: down several offensive line starters.
Speaker 2: That's never a good recipe for success against Will Anderson Jr.
Speaker 2: And the Neil Hunter.
Speaker 55: So I'd still take Mahomes, but he might have to
Speaker 55: be as good as ever just to get Kansas City
Speaker 55: to the playoffs.
Speaker 18: We've got a Tier four here, trust the defense, not
Speaker 18: the offense. You have trust the offense not the defense
Speaker 18: in Tier three and you mentioned the Texans there, Seattle
Speaker 18: and Denver are in the trust the defense category. Then
Speaker 18: you have wild cards, and the Ravens are inside the
Speaker 18: wildcard group with Philly, Chicago, San Francisco, the Colts, the Jags,
Speaker 18: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore as we as we mentioned,
Speaker 18: played the Bengals. We could go Thursday night. I don't
Speaker 18: since they can play any worse than what they played
Speaker 18: on that in that game, and a lot of that
Speaker 18: had to do with how the Bengals played against them.
Speaker 18: But as you look at the AFC North right now
Speaker 18: and you've got Baltimore and Pittsburgh in a huge game
Speaker 18: tonight that you're at at Baltimore between the Steelers and
Speaker 18: the Ravens. If you had to look at the AFC
Speaker 18: North right now and pick one of those three teams Bengals,
Speaker 18: Ravens or Steelers to win it, who would it be?
Speaker 55: At this point, I'm still going with the Ravens. I
Speaker 55: just cannot imagine Lamar.
Speaker 2: Jackson continues to be this bad. It's one thing to
Speaker 2: have him be a little bit limited as a runner.
Speaker 55: His progression as a passer throughout his career has been remarkable,
Speaker 55: especially as a downfield passer. Right now, he's not the
Speaker 55: runner that we've seen him be, and he's not close
Speaker 55: to the pass or that we see him be. I
Speaker 55: just don't think that that's really sustainable, though. I think
Speaker 55: that he's going to be better. He has to be better,
Speaker 55: but he's also going to be better just I think
Speaker 55: he has gone through some stretches here.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it seems like almost.
Speaker 55: Every quarterback, except for maybe Patrick Mahomes, maybe Joe Burrow,
Speaker 55: you've been, they go through these stretches where for a
Speaker 55: few weeks it just doesn't look good. You mentioned Josh
Speaker 55: Allen will give the ball to the other team. He'll
Speaker 55: have these stretches where, you know, five or six turnovers
Speaker 55: in three games. Lamar Jackson is just going through a
Speaker 55: brutal skid right now. One of these ones where he says,
Speaker 55: I make these frozen practice.
Speaker 2: He can make these frozen as sleep, and he's not
Speaker 2: doing it.
Speaker 55: You gained, So if you take into account of big picture,
Speaker 55: I think the Ravens defense has improved. I think that
Speaker 55: Lamar Jackson is slumping right now, but there's no way
Speaker 55: this slump and goes through the end of the season.
Speaker 55: And also when it gets cold, when the conditions aren't great,
Speaker 55: I want Derrick Henry in my backfield.
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm still leaning Ravens.
Speaker 55: But we're certainly going to find out today. This is
Speaker 55: a big one, and strange things tend to happen when
Speaker 55: the Ravens and the Steelers meet.
Speaker 18: Yeah, no question about that. Zach Peerless, cbsports dot Com
Speaker 18: as our guest. He is at that Ravens Pittsburgh game.
Speaker 18: All right, I got about a minute here, Zach, give
Speaker 18: me your handicap on these games today, Cincinnati at Buffalo,
Speaker 18: Pittsburgh at Baltimore. End of the day, who's the winner,
Speaker 18: who's the loser in both of those games.
Speaker 2: Here in Baltimore. I'll go with the hosts Baltimore.
Speaker 55: They're too good running the ball, that's been an issue
Speaker 55: for Pittsburgh all year, and Aaron Rodgers playing with a
Speaker 55: broken left rist. Everything that he does so well from
Speaker 55: under center, he's not doing because it's not fun to
Speaker 55: pass under center with a broken ridge, breaking nude. And
Speaker 55: then when we head up to Buffalo, oh man, I
Speaker 55: think it's going to be a good one. I think
Speaker 55: there are going to be a lot of points scored.
Speaker 55: I think at the end though, Josh Allen is going
Speaker 55: to be a little bit too much. I think the
Speaker 55: running game, especially is going to be a little bit
Speaker 55: too much In Buffalo gets.
Speaker 18: The way James Cook and route to it at least
Speaker 18: an eighteen hundred yard season. He's rushed already for over
Speaker 18: twelve hundred. All right, The story again is which NFL
Speaker 18: contenders can you actually trust? Sorting twenty playoff hope pols
Speaker 18: into tears in a parody filled season. Zach Perlis, the author,
Speaker 18: not quite buying into Bengals yet. Maybe we check back
Speaker 18: with him in twenty four hours. Zach, thanks for your time, man,
Speaker 18: We appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having me. Always a blast.
Speaker 18: Well, we'll see how much of a blast it is
Speaker 18: in Buffalo where the snow is falling. Temperatures as well,
Speaker 18: could be a factor throughout the game. There is some
Speaker 18: breaking news out of Buffalo. I think this is more
Speaker 18: fodder for after the game today and on and through
Speaker 18: the week. The Bengals have suspended wide receiver Jermaine Burton.
Speaker 18: He was listed as inactive, he did not make the
Speaker 18: trip to Buffalo and no reason given for why he
Speaker 18: is suspended. Jermaine Burton actually now contending for biggest Bengal
Speaker 18: draft pick bust in the last twenty five years. Unbelievable.

Speaker 18: Dalton Reisner, right guard, Ted Carras center.
Speaker 30: Uh.
Speaker 18: We'll see what kind of outside pressure Buffalo can get
Speaker 18: without Joey Bosa today. But of those three, I think
Speaker 18: if they can keep the front of the pocket clean,
Speaker 18: that will give Joe Burrow plenty of opportunity. He's okay
Speaker 18: against the outside rush usually, but the interior stuff is
Speaker 18: what he has to worry about. And so you're talking
Speaker 18: about Dion Walker, the Kwan Jones uh maybe on on
Speaker 18: uh on occasion, Matt Mulano the linebacker. You've got to
Speaker 18: You've got to keep the front of that pocket clean.
Speaker 18: That's my player spotlight today. By the way, pregame Sports
Speaker 18: Talk brought to you in part by Encore Technologies. Visit
Speaker 18: encore got tech. A lot of injuries are mounting up
Speaker 18: for the Buffalo Bills. They've had their share, and I
Speaker 18: just mentioned one they will not have today and that's
Speaker 18: Joey Bosa. That's a major loss for them today. They're
Speaker 18: great pass rusher as well as their linebacker Terrell Bernard.
Speaker 18: He is out today as well. So Sean McDermott, head
Speaker 18: coach Buffalo, on all the injuries.
Speaker 101: Is the toughness of our football team is what's going
Speaker 101: to drive us as we move forward here with as
Speaker 101: you said, a few of those injuries. So we don't
Speaker 101: have time to be feeling sorry for ourself. We've got
Speaker 101: to get ourselves ready for a big time challenge this
Speaker 101: weekend here.
Speaker 18: As for the Bengals out again with a hip pelvis problem.
Speaker 18: Is Trey Hendrickson doubtful today? Is Shaka Heyward? In fact,
Speaker 18: he's out. So that's the injury report brought to you
Speaker 18: by Postman Law. Injured called eight four to four Postman
Speaker 18: Others promise Postman delivers Postman Law eight for four Postman
Speaker 18: as I said, Others promise and Postman delivers. So Bengals
Speaker 18: have been here before. Maybe last year they learned a
Speaker 18: few lessons about how to rally here late right, Jamarrow.
Speaker 28: As a teeth respective, I would just say, just not
Speaker 28: giving up, you know what I'm saying. That's that's the
Speaker 28: hardest thing, and not putting fingers at somewhere when it's
Speaker 28: not going our way. I'm personal. I was just saying,
Speaker 28: being accountable for yourself and just doing your job at
Speaker 28: the end of the day. That's what it's all about,
Speaker 28: doing your job and winning.
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's what it's all about. In Buffalo at one

Speaker 102: Good afternoon, and welcome to count Down to Kickoff on
Speaker 102: the Cincinnati Bengals Radio Network for today's matchup between the
Speaker 102: Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills. I'm Wayneboxbillity to count
Speaker 102: down the kickoff hosting. I don't know if the Bengals
Speaker 102: have nine lives, but they have number nine and he's
Speaker 102: already transformed his team's productivity upon his return. Now, they're
Speaker 102: another one game season and trying to win two in
Speaker 102: a row against the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen. Both
Speaker 102: teams are trying to get back to consistency and both
Speaker 102: are trying to improve their playoff position. And there's no
Speaker 102: love lost between these teams, as the Bengals played spoilers
Speaker 102: for the Bills and the playoffs. But these two teams
Speaker 102: are inextricably linked forever because of demor Hamblin. But they'll
Speaker 102: go their separate ways today when the game starts. Standing
Speaker 102: by with today's called His Game at high Mark Stadium,
Speaker 102: my colleagues Dan Hord and Dave Lapham, gentlemen, secure the wings.
Speaker 34: Thank you, Bocks.
Speaker 67: Appreciate that today's game demands a weather report at the
Speaker 67: beginning of the broadcast. I am not a meteorologist, but
Speaker 67: I'm about to play one on the radio. Oties twenty
Speaker 67: eight degrees. We have steady snow falling here in Orchard Park,
Speaker 67: New York, which is a Buffalo suburb. When I arrived
Speaker 67: at the stadium on the late team bus maybe forty
Speaker 67: five minutes ago, the field was still bare. Not anymore.
Speaker 67: It is snow coded now. You can see footprints forming
Speaker 67: in this light coat of snow. The forecast the rest
Speaker 67: of the game looks like this. It's not supposed to
Speaker 67: get much colder. It's going to linger around twenty eight
Speaker 67: degrees something like that. But the snow is expected to continue,
Speaker 67: could be up to an inch or two during the
Speaker 67: course of the next several hours. So it's definitely going
Speaker 67: to be a factor today here in Buffalo.
Speaker 30: I agree, Dan, I think it will.
Speaker 51: It will be a factor, particularly if it continues to
Speaker 51: snow at the rate you're talking about that they're reporting currently.
Speaker 89: Yeah.
Speaker 51: I mean, when the numbers disappear covered by snow, and
Speaker 51: when the yard line stripes are disappear because of the snow,
Speaker 51: you know it's serious. And obviously the footy can be
Speaker 51: an issue. And when the footing is an issue, then
Speaker 51: you got to who can run the football? You got
Speaker 51: to rely on the running game, and I think the
Speaker 51: Bengals are going to have to be able to run
Speaker 51: the football against the Buffalo Bills, that defensive football team
Speaker 51: of the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals have been running the
Speaker 51: football better, there's no question about it. I mean, I
Speaker 51: think that's been a reason that they've played better in
Speaker 51: recent weeks, that their offense has been balanced. And even
Speaker 51: with Joe Burrow at the quarterback position, you know, he
Speaker 51: came back to the hell of a job last week,
Speaker 51: the big win against the Baltimore Ravens and trying to
Speaker 51: get another one here in Buffalo, and he's done well
Speaker 51: here in Buffalo playing against the Buffalo Bills. He is
Speaker 51: the straw that stirs the drink. There's no question. He's
Speaker 51: the guy that's going to be the biggest factor in
Speaker 51: determining if the Cincinnati Bengals can get a W today
Speaker 51: or not. But I'm telling you the next biggest key
Speaker 51: is will Chase Brown and shamaj Ap Ryan be able
Speaker 51: to get the running game going? Not just those guys,
Speaker 51: Will the offensive line be able to handle the Buffalo
Speaker 51: Bill's defensive line in the running game. And Buffalo they're stout.
Speaker 51: I mean they play it. They play it pretty well.
Speaker 51: I mean they all you know, take a gap. They
Speaker 51: don't do a whole lot. I mean, Bobby Babbie is
Speaker 51: not a guy that runs a million looks in eighty thousand,
Speaker 51: you know, variations off of that. If you figure something out,
Speaker 51: he's got something that he goes to. They pretty much too.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 51: If they take you on there right in the middle
Speaker 51: of your chest and you know, trying to stop you
Speaker 51: and then play off of either side of you to
Speaker 51: stop run the losso one gap, get in gaps and penetrate,
Speaker 51: he will load the box to stop the run. If
Speaker 51: you get that running game going, I think if he
Speaker 51: does start loading the box, it's a great sign because
Speaker 51: that means that the Chase brown Ands Andmajrep Runner are
Speaker 51: getting it done and they're gonna have to put another
Speaker 51: guy in the in the box that he hopes will
Speaker 51: be unblocked that can handle the Bengals running attack. An
Speaker 51: unblocked guy get to the ball, carry and take him down.
Speaker 67: There's player news today involving the Cincinnati Bengals. Wide receiver
Speaker 67: Jermaine Burton has been suspended for today's game. He's obviously
Speaker 67: inactive as a result, he wouldn't have been counted on anyway.
Speaker 67: He's done nothing this year. He didn't make the team flight,
Speaker 67: so it's just another strike against this guy. He's got
Speaker 67: all the talent in the world, but has not been
Speaker 67: a professional in his first two NFL seasons. Laf the
Speaker 67: Bengals have paid him two point nine million dollars so
Speaker 67: far in two years, and the return has it's been
Speaker 67: almost nothing.
Speaker 51: Absolutely, I mean it's it's almost disgusting. Really, here's a guy,
Speaker 51: like you said, Dan, amazingly talented, elite physical abilities. I mean,
Speaker 51: he's got really good size, you know, six to two,
Speaker 51: couple to ten, two fifteen ish, can really run, can
Speaker 51: change directions, stick his foot in the ground and change direction,
Speaker 51: and break open and present himself as a viable target
Speaker 51: for quarterbacks. He's got good hands. You know, he puts
Speaker 51: the football away. But like you said, he can't be trusted.
Speaker 51: And you know he has not learned the playbook either.
Speaker 51: I mean, that's that's that's the big thing. If Joe
Speaker 51: Burrow doesn't trust you, you got problems. And really Joe
Speaker 51: Burrow does not trust Burton at the stage of the career.
Speaker 67: So he's not here today. But T Higgins is. He's
Speaker 67: back from his concussion. He is good to go today.
Speaker 67: As for how he feels about the weather, well, when
Speaker 67: they played the playoff game here in January of twenty three,
Speaker 67: t was captured on Mike saying this weather isn't for everybody,
Speaker 67: and I'm everybody, so it's not his cup of tea.
Speaker 67: But I also heard Jamar Chase say to Ta Higgins
Speaker 67: on the bench just a little while ago, you know what,
Speaker 67: not too bad today. Yeah, So hopefully that's how they
Speaker 67: feel about the weather conditions. The temperature in the high
Speaker 67: twenties and snow falling here in Orchard Park, New York.

Speaker 22: I'm Wayne box Miller.
Speaker 102: Glad to have you a bored And I tell you
Speaker 102: what you may not know that BJ Hill and Joe
Speaker 102: Burrow have been teammates for five years, so his perspective
Speaker 102: on the impact of Burrow's return from injury is of value.
Speaker 102: He's standing by with Dan Hort in this week's Waltz
Speaker 102: Business Solution Players Interview.
Speaker 23: BJ, You've been Joe Burrow's teammate for five years.
Speaker 67: When a guy comes back ahead of schedule from an injury,
Speaker 67: what statement does that make to his teammates?
Speaker 104: It means a lot, man, even guys who fight through
Speaker 104: injuries each and every day, seeing them out there practicing,
Speaker 104: seeing out on the games, meaning that they that they
Speaker 104: care for the guys some instance like you can't be
Speaker 104: out there, but guys that you know try to be
Speaker 104: out there, try to do everything's possible to get out there.
Speaker 4: It means to.
Speaker 30: The teammates.
Speaker 67: So I was watching the postgame celebration after the victory
Speaker 67: in Baltimore. The big tur ducking spread out there on
Speaker 67: the field. You were right in the middle of the celebration,
Speaker 67: and then it looked like you bailed before getting a bite.
Speaker 23: What happened?
Speaker 104: I was ready to go go home, man, It was
Speaker 104: a long two days for us, and I was like,
Speaker 104: you know what, let me get in the locker room,
Speaker 104: take a shour, and I'm ready to go.
Speaker 23: Home to get to my family. You got the feast
Speaker 23: the next night, I.
Speaker 104: Did, got up early, even though we got back of late.
Speaker 104: Got up early and I smoked a turkey.
Speaker 23: All right, good to know. We're visiting with DJ Hill.
Speaker 67: Over the last three weeks, the defense has given up
Speaker 67: an average of seventeen point six points. That would be
Speaker 67: number three in the NFL if it was for the
Speaker 67: entire season. What are the biggest reasons for the defensive improvement?
Speaker 104: Yeah, I do the little things right. This was really
Speaker 104: was killing us at the beginning of the year or
Speaker 104: halfway through year whatever. That was a little stretch. We
Speaker 104: just want doing the little things right. And we came
Speaker 104: back and just skip on work and keep on tipping
Speaker 104: at the things that we had to get better.
Speaker 30: And we have a point that we turned around.
Speaker 104: We just gotta keep the moment and going, keep on
Speaker 104: playing defense, communicating and just playing as a team. If
Speaker 104: we keep on doing that, man, I think a lot
Speaker 104: of things to take care of itself.
Speaker 23: Are you seeing the light come on for some of
Speaker 23: your younger teammates.
Speaker 104: H for sure, especially the two rookie linebackers sitting and
Speaker 104: fly around and having fun, being more confident, just being
Speaker 104: there in their role. It's a lot when you come
Speaker 104: in have to play a lot for NFL team, and
Speaker 104: you can see how they matured and take advantage of
Speaker 104: each and every rep even in practice, The way they communicate,
Speaker 104: way they come back to work, just actually just actually
Speaker 104: older guys. Even they asking me questions like I'm like,
Speaker 104: all right, I think you're gonna You're gonna be special
Speaker 104: in this league. Just just keep on working, just doing
Speaker 104: the right things, the little things, over and over and
Speaker 104: never get tired of it.
Speaker 67: Do you think linebacker is especially tough for a rookie.
Speaker 67: I mean Barrett Carter for examples, wearing the green dot.
Speaker 67: He's the guy communicating without golden I think so.
Speaker 104: I think it's it's tough that in safety to play
Speaker 104: by those positions, especially mentally, you got a lot on
Speaker 104: your plate. They're playing the tackle is a rooku. I
Speaker 104: think it's very hard too, but playing a lot, but
Speaker 104: you got a lot on your play. You gotta get
Speaker 104: the calls, you gotta make sure you know what you're
Speaker 104: doing other people are doing mixture in the right spot,
Speaker 104: getting the right calls, the checks and just everything you got.
Speaker 104: You definitely got a lot on the play and you
Speaker 104: can see the way they just improved over the last
Speaker 104: couple of weeks. Man, It's it's very exciting to see.
Speaker 67: We're chatting with bj Hill. Joseph OSEI might have had
Speaker 67: the best game of his career in Baltimore. Two sacks,
Speaker 67: four quarterback hits in a forest fumble. I remember you
Speaker 67: raved about his effort when I asked you about him
Speaker 67: during training camp. How excited were you to see him
Speaker 67: have a game like that on Thanksgiving Night.
Speaker 104: I'd love to see my guys ball, no matter what
Speaker 104: room they and I love seeing Joseph just knowing the
Speaker 104: hard work that he put in over the shoot the
Speaker 104: last couple of years, even this off seasons, the way
Speaker 104: he just attacked each and every day shoot. I mean,
Speaker 104: I'm excited for him, man. It's it's really great to see.
Speaker 104: You love to see guys have success on the field.
Speaker 104: You face the Bills in Buffalo this Sunday. You have
Speaker 104: faced Josh Allen three times before in your career. You
Speaker 104: have sacked him once. What stands out to you about
Speaker 104: the Bills QB.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 104: He's everything you want as a quarterback. He's one of
Speaker 104: the best in the league. He's big, he's strong, he's fast,
Speaker 104: got a good arms. He's one of the guys that's
Speaker 104: like I said, he's one of the best to do
Speaker 104: it in the league.
Speaker 30: Right now. We got a hands full, but I believe
Speaker 30: we got the defense of the in in our room,
Speaker 30: the dude we need to do to win the game.
Speaker 104: What do you remember about that sack? I think I
Speaker 104: said more than one. You don't really count playoffs, but
Speaker 104: you know we got the playoffs there.
Speaker 68: I got.
Speaker 30: Think I got him twice. I think so.
Speaker 104: Remember I believe he's me and Sam run a text game.
Speaker 104: I got vertical Sam wrapped around on a sack.
Speaker 23: You know all right?
Speaker 67: Buffalo ran for two hundred and forty nine yards last
Speaker 67: week and their win over Pittsburgh. James Cook has seven
Speaker 67: one hundred yard games this year. What must do you
Speaker 67: do to slow down that Buffalo rushing attack on Sunday?
Speaker 30: He can do it all.
Speaker 104: Catch out the backfield, run it make you miss, hard
Speaker 104: to tackle. Strong, Like I said, we just got to
Speaker 104: swim to the ball, get all hasts to the ball.
Speaker 104: Tackle somebody MISU tackle, make sure somebody right there hitting
Speaker 104: them right after. I'll be play technic sound. Make sure
Speaker 104: we're staying in our gass and playing good football together.
Speaker 104: Build a wall so you know it's hard for him
Speaker 104: to to you know, cutting them gaps and stuff like that.
Speaker 104: So we played good football for what.
Speaker 30: We can do we need to do.
Speaker 67: There's still a path to win the AFC North, but
Speaker 67: it's narrow. If you win this week, does it really
Speaker 67: feel possible? Does it take a couple of wins Buffalo
Speaker 67: and Baltimore? Where do you stand on the realistic chances
Speaker 67: of still pulling this off?
Speaker 104: My mind right now, just one game at a time,
Speaker 104: look ahead, I'll just come on, play a bis ball
Speaker 104: whatever happens. And I feel like if you put our
Speaker 104: bis for Ford on defense sideball, I no offense is
Speaker 104: gonna take do their part? Who do our side on
Speaker 104: the defenses all take care.

Speaker 102: Wayne box, Spiller and Drew Sample. It's almost at time
Speaker 102: of year for Christmas, and you and your wife really
Speaker 102: have something nice you roll out for this community.
Speaker 30: Yeah.
Speaker 40: So actually a week from today, we're doing our annual
Speaker 40: event with since Any Children's where this year we've taken donations,
Speaker 40: We did a couple events and we had some local
Speaker 40: partners with Credo and gold Star that people have donated to.
Speaker 40: So we go out and we buy toys and we
Speaker 40: do a big event at since Any Children's where basically
Speaker 40: everyone who's staying at the hospital is able to come
Speaker 40: down and basically shop, get.
Speaker 30: Gifts, toys, whatever.
Speaker 57: We have.
Speaker 40: We have a huge amount of a huge rive of
Speaker 40: options for them, which is which is great. And so yeah,
Speaker 40: they get to come down and basically shop, and you
Speaker 40: know it's for people that you know, some of these
Speaker 40: kids and families and you know, even teenagers have been
Speaker 40: in the hospital for you know, months, weeks, some were
Speaker 40: in and out for years, and you know, just talking
Speaker 40: to people and you know some we've talked to some
Speaker 40: families where you know, sometimes so like it's Christmas is
Speaker 40: the last thing on my mind just because of the
Speaker 40: health and whatever.
Speaker 30: So just trying to you know, trying to brighten their day.
Speaker 40: And I guess one of the reasons I started it
Speaker 40: was because all three of my girls spent time, you know,
Speaker 40: at children's for various reasons, So it's something near and
Speaker 40: dear to my heart.
Speaker 30: Yeah.
Speaker 102: I would imagine by now you've done this so much
Speaker 102: that you get excited about the giving point. I do.
Speaker 30: I do get really excited.
Speaker 40: It's fun every year, honestly, especially with the support we've
Speaker 40: had from the community and even.
Speaker 30: My teammates and whatever.
Speaker 40: Is to go out and see year to year, like
Speaker 40: how much better the gifts have gotten, how much more
Speaker 40: stuff we can get, because you know, as a kid
Speaker 40: who doesn't love to have a big haul from Christmas,
Speaker 40: especially when you're you know, when you're battling, whether it's
Speaker 40: you know, surgeries or illnesses.
Speaker 30: Or you know, whatever, whatever the case may be. So
Speaker 30: it's special, you know.
Speaker 102: I always think that this game of football turns into
Speaker 102: a business of football. And for you, you've seen the
Speaker 102: highs and lows of this game. What would you say
Speaker 102: to young guys, is they come in about the business
Speaker 102: of this game?
Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean, I think.
Speaker 40: It's definitely different when you're when you're young, you're you're
Speaker 40: naive to a lot of that. Obviously, you want to
Speaker 40: come in, you want to play football and anything. At
Speaker 40: the end of the day, that's still kind of what
Speaker 40: it's about. But as you get older, you kind of just,
Speaker 40: you know, you understand the different nuances and things, and
Speaker 40: a lot of the decisions and reasoning behind the decisions
Speaker 40: is kind of that part of it. But I think
Speaker 40: it's something you just get used to, and especially when
Speaker 40: in certain scenarios, it's something that you kind of just
Speaker 40: tune out. And you know, I you know, love playing
Speaker 40: football and at the end of the day, that's what
Speaker 40: you're here to do. And the things outside of that,
Speaker 40: especially the things that you can't control, you know, that
Speaker 40: kind of falls into that category.
Speaker 18: Sometimes.
Speaker 102: I talked to Chase Browns as a dad now and
Speaker 102: he understands the nuances now of work life balance.
Speaker 6: You've got your daughters. How did that work life balance
Speaker 6: put life in perspective for you?
Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously growing up and.
Speaker 40: Having that football being such a huge part of your life,
Speaker 40: and then getting married and that becomes a big part
Speaker 40: of your life, and then having you know, children, obviously
Speaker 40: it changes things a lot. But I think that doesn't
Speaker 40: take away from, you know, the love and the work
Speaker 40: that I put into the game, but it just allows
Speaker 40: especially where I'm at my career, there's definitely, you know,
Speaker 40: moments where I feel comfortable, you know, being able to
Speaker 40: step away and spend time with them, or knowing when
Speaker 40: I get home it's like I had put football side
Speaker 40: and really enjoy those moments, especially as they get older,
Speaker 40: especially around the holiday season.
Speaker 30: That's like, you know, as a kid and for me,
Speaker 30: that was always my favorite time of year.
Speaker 40: And so being able to to, you know, now experience
Speaker 40: that with my kids and do all these special things
Speaker 40: with them is always awesome.
Speaker 102: All Right, I'd like to do something this year called
Speaker 102: the Gratitude Games. I'll ask you three people you're grateful for,
Speaker 102: two things that you're thankful for, and then one thing
Speaker 102: you're hopeful for. Okay, So if I asked three people
Speaker 102: you're grateful for, who would that be? Definitely grateful for
Speaker 102: my wife. You know, she's she's our rocket home. We've
Speaker 102: got three three kids, three under seven now, so I
Speaker 102: mean we have we have, we have a lot going
Speaker 102: on at home.
Speaker 30: So she's she'll always be my rock.
Speaker 40: And honestly, you know, I'm super grateful for for the
Speaker 40: rest of my family, for my parents, for her parents,
Speaker 40: for you know, even brothers and sisters, everyone that kind
Speaker 40: of contributes to our you know, our village because you.
Speaker 30: Know, it's it's chaotic. Sometimes I'm traveling, she's traveling. We
Speaker 30: got different things. So and then.
Speaker 40: Another person I'm thinking for, I'm thinking for James Casey.
Speaker 40: You know, he's been my obviously my coach for the
Speaker 40: last seven years. But what he's been able to do
Speaker 40: and the things that he I think brings to our
Speaker 40: room and brings to me as a player is something
Speaker 40: that I'll always.
Speaker 30: Be thankful for, you know, in the good times and
Speaker 30: the bad.
Speaker 40: He's super consistent, and he's always someone that you can,
Speaker 40: you know, look for having played and having gone through it. Okay,
Speaker 40: what was the next to two things that impacted you?
Speaker 40: You know, I think just being able to be here
Speaker 40: for seven years. I think that's something that has impacted me,
Speaker 40: seeing all the guys that have come through and and
Speaker 40: seeing how, you know, how not normal that is in
Speaker 40: certain places.
Speaker 30: So I'm thankful for.
Speaker 40: That, you know, being able to go through a lot
Speaker 40: of highs and lows here and just to get different perspective.
Speaker 40: I'm like, you know, that's that's that's not normal, not
Speaker 40: having to whether that's changed offenses, change cities, whatever, just
Speaker 40: for me as a you know, for me and my family,
Speaker 40: and for you know, me as a player. I'm I'll
Speaker 40: always be grateful for that and hopefully, you know, we
Speaker 40: keep it going.
Speaker 18: And then another one of.
Speaker 6: Those, yeah, another things that they impacted you.
Speaker 30: I mean, I think I think my kids have had
Speaker 30: a bigger impact.
Speaker 40: And you know, I always wanted to be a dad,
Speaker 40: but then actually going through that process three different times
Speaker 40: with three different you know, three different girls, three different personalities,
Speaker 40: three different whatever. You know, it's good and it's so
Speaker 40: much fun being able to experience that in their own way,
Speaker 40: especially as they've gotten older and gotten into sports and
Speaker 40: gotten into school and you know, doing parent teacher conferences
Speaker 40: and things like that, where you know, things get put
Speaker 40: in perspective really quickly, and that's something that's you know,
Speaker 40: going forward to my life. I'm super excited to be
Speaker 40: such a good part of my life outside of football,
Speaker 40: and I think that's impacted me in.
Speaker 30: A positive way, both alling them off the field and I.
Speaker 6: Astually one thing you're hopeful for, well, I'm.
Speaker 40: Hopeful that we keep winning and we finished the season
Speaker 40: on a good and I'm hopeful I stay healthy. No,
Speaker 40: I'm I'm hopeful that, you know, for us as a team,
Speaker 40: I think we've we've slowly started to turn the page.
Speaker 30: And obviously Joe came back. I think that's that's awesome.
Speaker 30: And you know, he looks like Joe Burrow, so he's
Speaker 30: only going to get better, I think. So, you know,
Speaker 30: I think one game at a time for us, but
Speaker 30: I'm hopeful that we can continue.
Speaker 40: To stat games like we have, you know, as as
Speaker 40: a team really you know, offense, defense, special teams. I
Speaker 40: think that was our best game in all phases. And
Speaker 40: so I'm hopeful that we can continue that. And I'm
Speaker 40: hopeful that a week from today we have a great
Speaker 40: holiday event where all the kids come out, they get
Speaker 40: they get as many toys as they can carry down
Speaker 40: or whatever it may be. And you know, I hope,
Speaker 40: I'm hopeful that I can make their holiday season a
Speaker 40: little bit better.
Speaker 30: Thank Joe.
Speaker 6: We're thankful for you as a player, but more so
Speaker 6: as a person.
Speaker 30: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 102: All right back with more countdown to kickoff right here
Speaker 102: on the Cincinnati.
Speaker 6: Bengals radio network.
Speaker 25: My name is Toast, and recently I negotiated massive tax
Speaker 25: relief for a former Cincinnati football star. My playbook worked perfection,
Speaker 25: and the irs was left watching as my celebrity client
Speaker 25: ran free into the end zone and celebrated with tears
Speaker 25: of joy.
