1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Interrupting the Chad and Rick College Basketball Spectacular to talk 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: with their friend and mine, Richard Skinner from Local twelve, 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: because there's lots going on with the Bengals. 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: Hi, Richard, Well, here's what I was gonna tell you. 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: I got two things for you can get back to 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: college basketball. The Bengals suck and Joe Blaco is hurt. 7 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: All right. 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: That's Richard Skinner from Local twelve. You could read his 9 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: columns at Local twelve dot com. Hi, boys, it's it's 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, I should have just had you join these 11 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 1: guys in studio and I could have. I could have 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: sat back and done nothing. Is Flacco? He's not gonna 13 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: play on Sunday? Is that a thing? 14 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: I can't imagine he does. I mean, that's a pretty 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: that's a pretty significant injury. You know, after the game 16 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: he said it didn't hurt much. Well, he went back 17 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: to the locker room, probably got it shot up. So 18 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: you can come in for that final series. I'm guessing it 19 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: didn't hurt much. And then Monday comes along and oohbu 20 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: way it hurts a lot. Yeah, he doesn't go tomorrow. 21 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: I can't imagine he plays. I know, Zach left open today. 22 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: The possibility that, you know, he doesn't need any reps 23 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: that he could he's healthy enough he can show up 24 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: on Sunday and play, And that's probably only true if 25 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: he's healthy. I just don't think that's gonna be a 26 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: possible and it's a real long shot. 27 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: So okay, they have a buye after this game. Is 28 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: this something that could keep him out possibly multiple weeks? 29 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is an injury that can be 30 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: really significant and it can also be short term. It's 31 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: a weird thing, you know. I think the buye we 32 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: probably help soften that blow. If you can win this 33 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: week is goofy? This sound you can win that this week? Yeah, 34 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: the buye you could actually go to Pittsburgh if they're 35 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: five and four and r four and five and a 36 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: chance to sweep them to take over first place in 37 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 2: this division. That's probably not logical because there's no guarantee 38 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: they win this weekend, especially when you can't beat the 39 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: awful Jets, but it's on the table. It's such a 40 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: goofy season, especially in this division. And I think he 41 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: gets goofier because Baltimore is getting healthier. Yeah. 42 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: No, I think Baltimore is gonna win it, and I'm 43 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: not even sure it's necessarily going to be close. Maybe 44 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: not go from one to five to to run it 45 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: away with the thing. They put two guys on ir 46 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: yesterday and let go of Mike Panell. Are are they 47 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: just gonna play with fifty guys moving forward? 48 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: Now? They're gonna probably bring some guys up in the 49 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: practice a lot. I think you're in that mode of 50 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: let's see what we've got here. You know, Mike Panell 51 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: was actually a rotational tackle. You know, maybe that means 52 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: we see more McKinley Jackson. Oh. I think he's been 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: active for one game this season. It's pretty good spot 54 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: for a third round pick from last year and only 55 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: playing one game. Oh meanwhile, the other third round pick, 56 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: the wide receiver Jermain Burton, hasn't been active for a 57 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: single game. Okay, so things are so things are going 58 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: well in that department. But yeah, I'm guessing it means 59 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: probably some more playing time for mchaelee because at some 60 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: point he drafted him in the third round. Gotta see 61 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: what you got. 62 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. Zach Taylor says he needs leaders on defense. Who 63 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: are they supposed to be? 64 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: I think it's Barrett Carter believe it or not, I 65 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: really think they think he can step into a leadership role. 66 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: Except the problem is he diagnosed a run play really 67 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: really well and got right into the B gap and 68 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: here comes a running back at him full speed, and 69 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: it was gonna be a one yard game, maybe a 70 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: no yard game, maybe even a one yard law depending 71 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 2: on where he dacklomat, except for one small problem. He 72 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: didn't tackle the guy and he's spit it out for 73 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: a fifty yard run. But answer your question, I do 74 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: believe they think Barrett Carter has leadership capabilities, and as 75 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: long as he starts performing at a level where he's 76 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: making tackles on a consistent basis, I think he can 77 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: become that leader. I do. 78 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: The fan base is as upset with Duke Tobin as 79 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: I think it has ever been, and understandably so, because 80 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: he keeps drafting players who can help. Do you think 81 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: he is standing on ice that is that is at 82 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: all starting to crack? 83 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Moh, do you know this organization? That come on? 84 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I had to ask it right sometimes, and you know this. 85 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: You have to ask a question you know the answer to, 86 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: but you have to throw it out there because you're supposed. 87 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: To that's a fair point. So no, I think he 88 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: should be. So I did the exercise. I think maybe 89 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: a couple others on the beat have done this. I 90 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: just did it today. It hasn't published yet and it's 91 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: going up tomorrow. Where I redrafted the first three rounds 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: for this team this year and it really wasn't even 93 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: hard to do, Like these were guys talk about in 94 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: those rounds and good reasons for the Bengals taking him 95 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: on when it happened. So instead of Shamar Stewart, who's 96 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: had one assisted tackle in sixty two defensive snaps over 97 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: the last two games, that's some good production. Huh, one 98 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: assisted tackle where you fall into a pile. Good for you, man, 99 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: that's great work. Instead of him in the first round, 100 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: how about Jihad Campbell, who's been one of the best 101 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: linebackers in the entire NFL as a rookie sit in 102 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: the second round you needed a guard because he drafted 103 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: the guard Tate Ratlis was available. How about you go 104 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: that route and set a Demetrius Knight because you've already 105 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: gone the linebacker round. And then how about in the 106 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: third round a guy who played for al Golden Notre 107 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: Dame who's having a fine rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons. 108 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: How about Xavier watching the third round? How hard is that? 109 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: It wasn't even hard to do that. It was common 110 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: sensical and said you had to be the smartest ones 111 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: in the room and go. Yeah, I know Shamar Stewart 112 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: doesn't do anything other than look good, but let's go 113 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: ahead and take him anyway because he's got great traits. Okay, 114 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: great one assisted tackle in the last sixty two defensive snaps. 115 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 2: I could fall on a pile and get that stat. 116 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: I could. 117 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to see that, actually, but yeah it would hurt. 118 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. 119 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks for bringing a good cheer to 120 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: a rough situation. We'll talk next week. Thank you as always, 121 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: you bet go Big Blue.
