1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Is Tony Pike, sincey three sixty about Cincinnati. From Cincinnati, 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: this is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: Hello, would welcome our number three Sincy three sixty on 4 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: this Monday afternoon. ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. It's 5 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: mock Draft Monday. We'll got some NFL to talk about here. 6 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 2: In our number three, there's a list of free agents 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: that are still available, and one would think a couple 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: names on that list do make sense for the Cincinnati Bengals. 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: And then, of course there's the upcoming NFL Draft, which, 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: by the way, Austin. How about this, Pittsburgh public schools 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 2: will transition to remote learning for three days April twenty 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: second to twenty fourth due to the NFL Draft coming 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh. How about that? Okay, keeping the kids home 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: from school? I guess that makes sense. The draft is 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: expected to bring anywhere from five hundred to seven hundred 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: thousand visitors to the city, with traffic and road closures 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: and safety concerns, the public school system in Pittsburgh will 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: go remote for those three days. Okay, about that? Cool? Now, 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: there was a proposal to close multiple schools. 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: So you can say why don't you just give him 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: at least one day that got rejected to make them 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: go remote, you know, once, but. 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: They went back to the remote learning. 24 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 3: I do I want to say this before I saw 25 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: it on my timeline. I think our listeners need to 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: know this before we get fully into the football conversation. 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: CNL Perez, Oh the Highway. He has made the Washington 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: Nationals opening day roster. Really, according to Francis Romero, who 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 3: is a reporter covering the Nationals, so CNL Perez, who 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: spent most of his time in Cincinnati on I seventy one, 31 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: going back and forth from Louisville to Cincinnati. Nice and 32 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: the CNL Perez Express, will be. 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: An All Star this year. He's back All Star season. 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Come for CNL. He actually has been pretty good the 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: last couple of years. Yep, Baltimore, we'll take your phone calls. 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: In Just a few moments before that, though, Austin, we 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: teased a little something going into the break the upcoming 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: NFL Draft, as we just mentioned April twenty second to 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: twenty fourth in Pittsburgh, which means we are just around 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: a month away from the Bengals being on the clock 41 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: at number ten. Now, I don't think this prospect is 42 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: on the clock at number ten for the Bengals, but 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: Day two potentially a steal in Day three. Former UC 44 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: linebacker Jake Golday spent some time with Kay Adams today 45 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: talking about a Top thirty visit he as up coming 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati. 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: Bengals, and she was asking him basically like, why does 48 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: Cincinnati mean so much to you? Why would it be 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: cool for you to be a Cincinnati Bengal. 50 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: I don't know it. 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 4: I really haven't had too many conversations with the Bengals 52 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: to be honest with you, but I would just I mean, 53 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: I would be a blessing to go play everywhere. But 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: I've kind of made a name for myself here in Cincinnati, 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: so it would definitely be a cool opportunity to stay 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 4: here in Cincinnati. I love it here, I love the 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: people in Cincinnati. But like I said, at the end 58 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: of the day, it's gonna be a blessing to go 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 4: play anywhere, and I'm excited for any opportunity. 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: I don't like this idea that they haven't a lot 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 5: of conversations with you. 62 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: That sounds not like sounds pretty stupid. 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: I have a visit set up I have a visit 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: set up, so they're getting me in the building. 65 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, Bengals need a linebacks. If they 66 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: weren't even going to have him in the building, that 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: was going to be a different issue. Like had that 68 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: cut off at just like I haven't talked to him 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: any and Jake Golday is right here in your backyard. 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: He was on the Bruce Feldman freakl list, had an 71 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: unbelievable year, tested extremely well at the combine. We know 72 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: linebacker's a position of need. Can the Bengals Austin risk 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: waiting to dre or waiting to address linebacker until the 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: second or third round of the draft, or do they 75 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: have to do something between now and then. 76 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: I would like for them to do something between now 77 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: and then. I don't know that there's anyone left that's 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: really going to change anything, So I don't know that 79 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: it matters. 80 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's that's essentially. Part of the issue 81 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: that's arrived, that has got us to this point is 82 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: that there's just not a lot of names still out 83 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: there now. There are some names looking into kind of 84 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: that next wave of free agency and obviously the draft, 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: but some names here Austin let me know if these 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: names do anything at all for you. Kalais Campbell is 87 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: gonna turned forty, Yeah, I would say it's gonna have 88 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: sacks last year. I would take. 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: Kalaeis Campbell, but I don't think. I don't know if 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: he's all that interested in the Bengals. 91 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: Would you be interested in a player like Kalais Campbell? 92 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: Also just for the development that absolutely they could provide 93 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: to a Shamar Stewart, not even I don't even know 94 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: if development on the field more as off the field. Yeah. 95 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, Yeah, take Joey Buffalo played fifteen games last year, 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: five sacks in a rotation. 97 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: He's he's been hurt a lot so that I don't 98 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: want to spend a ton of money on him. 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: But the corner position, we've we've talked a lot about 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: the depth at corner Trayvon Diggs. Could that be a 101 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: by low for you? Uh? 102 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess to by low. I mean he was horrible, 103 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: Probably have to be bought very low. 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: Horrible. 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 3: Uh. 106 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: Cam Jordan of the Saints, Yeah, why not? Ten and 107 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: a half sacks last year? Same situation. 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: Uh. 109 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: Jadeveon Clowney, Yes, you want waves and waves and waves 110 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: of past rusher, DJ Reader, Uh, yeah, okay, we'll have 111 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: any problem with that. Bobby Wagner, Yeah, what about David 112 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: and Joku? Uh? 113 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: I think you would be foolish not to so, even sure, 114 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: he wants a lot of money, I. 115 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: Say, but even in that, there are obviously still names 116 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: here right And I think if you're looking at this 117 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: Bengals team right now, you say, yes, d end is 118 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: still a need. You would certainly say linebacker is still 119 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: in need. There are some that are going to say 120 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: now corner or safety is a position of need. Would 121 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: you describe any offensive position as a position of need 122 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: right now? 123 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 7: Yes? 124 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: Tight end because John Shearon our front from A to 125 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: Z Sports actually kind of jumped into that as well. 126 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: That offensive line. Yeah, that tight end is still a 127 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: position that this team has to look at now. I 128 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: know from a draft perspective, it is a tight end class. 129 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: You could find some good value at tight end. Eric 130 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: Hall is also returning to this team, so it would 131 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 2: be a nice build in luxury if you had a 132 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 2: tight end in the Eric Hall reaches the potential that 133 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: a lot of people see him reaching. I like Eric all, 134 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: but he's about as reliable as Hunter Green, which is fair, 135 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 2: and we mentioned last week eric All kind of said okay, 136 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: like James Rapine said the same thing on Twitter and 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: eric All responded to that and good cope, Eric All 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: proves everybody wrong. Cool, but you can't operate if you're 139 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: the Bengals by just him saying he's going to be fine. 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: And also, is a guy like him after those knee surgeries, 141 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: even if he's a serviceable player, is he enough? 142 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: Correct? You can't at this point, you know, I asked 143 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: earlier on the Reds, what's a reason that you can 144 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: hope that the Reds get this turned around? Like you 145 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: can't operate anymore in the sense for the Bengals and 146 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: just say, well, we hope that Joe, that Joe Burrow 147 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: stays healthy and the receivers around him continue to produce. 148 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: Like you can't hope in that sense anymore. Gotta play defense, 149 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: You got to add quality players on the defensive side 150 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: of the ball. You have to create more depth on 151 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: the offensive side of the ball. Like there are just 152 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: a lot of things that still need to be addressed 153 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: by this Cincinnati Bengals organization. And as we close in 154 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: on almost a month now out from the draft. It 155 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: still feels like this team has a ton that they 156 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: have to accomplish before the draft arrives. We'll see what 157 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: that looks like as we go. We'll dive into a 158 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: mock draft Monday. In just a few moments before that, 159 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: let's grab a phone callar too. Brian is calling in. 160 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: What's up, Brian? 161 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 8: Hey, how are you guys going today? 162 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: Good?

I enjoy Mike's calls, and 167 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 8: I think he had a lot of value. 168 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 9: To the show. 169 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 8: And I just think if he's got something to say, 170 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 8: he can call and talk to. 171 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 9: You guys like you know a person.

So throwing the ball. 210 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 9: Throwing the ball. About the third or fourth start that 211 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 9: I had in high school, I know this, you know, 212 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 9: it got a little bit puffy. I'm like, you know what, 213 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 9: it's a blister. I didn't have a coach or anything, 214 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 9: and so I just went on and on, and by 215 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 9: about like the fourth inning, I looked down in my 216 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 9: glove or i'm sorry, in my hand and it was 217 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 9: just like a bloody, stinking mess. And you know, I 218 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 9: was called off the mound and uh, you know, like, okay, 219 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 9: just just give it a like a week or two. 220 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 9: But the thing is, man, it was like an open crater. 221 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 9: Like my my finger was throbbing, Like I remember trying 222 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 9: to sleep at night and my mom was getting my 223 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 9: asp and my finger looked like ET's middle finger and 224 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 9: it was just disgusting. But it was kind of like uzing. 225 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 9: You know, I don't want to get too graphic graphic 226 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 9: with it, but Anyway, when when your skin heels from 227 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 9: that blister, it's that kind of soft skin that you 228 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: know when you want to scam falls off. You know, 229 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 9: it's like kind of like in between skin that you 230 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 9: can't like do things that you're normally used to doing. 231 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 9: So anyway, I'm missing like three or four weeks of 232 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 9: high school baseball, which you know back then that was 233 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 9: like an eternity for me. And I came back to 234 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 9: early because said be okay, okay, And so like the 235 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 9: second batter that I faced, I ripped all that skin 236 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 9: off again. I didn't tell the coach. I was like, 237 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 9: there's no way I'm gonna let a little blister like 238 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 9: ruin my season. I get pitching and pitching, and then 239 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 9: after like four innings, my finger was so bloody and 240 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 9: disgusting that that was the end of my high school 241 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 9: pitching career. Yeah, so I'm just trying to say, like, 242 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 9: blisters are a big fricking deal. It hurts more than 243 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 9: anything because you know when you try to rehab from that, 244 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 9: like you feel great, your body feels great, and you 245 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 9: look at this one little thing on your finger, like 246 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 9: this is what's prohibiting me from playing, Like the support 247 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 9: that I love. It's tough, dude, So that's what I'm saying. 248 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: Man, appreciate you, Jat, thank you. 249 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 9: Yeah. 250 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: The blister thing is it's frustrating in many ways awesome, 251 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: but again, and I think it's it's caused. At least 252 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: it does. It's caused because you just have that repetition 253 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: of your finger on the ball and on the seams 254 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: and all the friction that's being created. And I don't 255 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: think the average baseball fan understands like how much pressure 256 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: each part of the finger is pushing on the baseball 257 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: and on the seams based on each pitch. And you 258 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 2: lengthen that out over time and overstarts and over bullpen sessions, 259 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 2: and it does. It becomes a very nagging injury that 260 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: creates problems down the road and runs the risk of 261 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: re injury, which is obviously something Nick Lodolo is going through. 262 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: What I'm most interested in all of this, Austin. I 263 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 2: know we're going to get back to mock draft Monday. 264 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: Here in a moment, are the Reds or do the 265 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: Reds approach this much more cautiously with it being the 266 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: start of the season than they would, let's say, stretch 267 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: run or middle of the season. Do you have to 268 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: approach this differently so it doesn't be I'm an issue 269 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: that you're dealing with the whole season. For Nickelodolo, I 270 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: don't know that it changes. I don't know that it matters. 271 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, for a what feels like a chronic issue or 272 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: for repeated injury, it's just fix it. 273 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we'll find out.

Dan Orlofsky said that he's 313 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: the top quarterback in his opinion in the draft. Mike 314 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: Tannebaum said that he can attest to what dan Orlofsky says, 315 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: and the other gms around the league feel the same thing. 316 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: So that could obviously throw a wrench in all of this.

He says, even with the 341 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: moves that the Bengals have made at safety, Downs has 342 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 3: still been his choice for Cincinnati and He would be 343 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: a no brainer for a defense that still could lack 344 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 3: someone to take charge. But could the Bengals simply look 345 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 3: to another safety for their first choice. While Theeneman seems 346 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: like a stretch here to many deterring deep shots, with 347 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: a rangy and its instinctive coverage, aase would go a 348 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: long way toward curing several of this unit's most pressing ills. 349 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 3: It makes me think in reading that description, what we 350 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 3: talked about right after the had signed Brian Cook is 351 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: that the kind of untapped part of his game that 352 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 3: we saw, what you see that we didn't see in 353 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: Kansas City was his ability to come down into the box, 354 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 3: was to be a blitzer, was to put some pressure 355 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 3: on quarterbacks, was to you know, deal with running backs, 356 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: and just in general play downhill from that part of 357 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: the field that you know, if you're going to use 358 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: somebody in that situation, would create a space for somebody 359 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 3: who is a as he described, rangy and instinctive coverage 360 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: ace to be on the back end. Dylaneneman has skyrocketed 361 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: over the course of the last two months. He was 362 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: a guy that many mocked the Bengals taking in round 363 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 3: number two. I remember having a conversation with Joe Goodberry 364 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 3: about a month ago down the dial on seven hundred WLW, 365 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: and I asked him about some prospects that he thinks 366 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 3: people are going to start finding out about. And he said, 367 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: Dylan Thenaman will eventually be a first round pick. Didn't 368 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: say he'd be a top ten pick, but more and 369 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 3: more he continues to come out about him. 370 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: And this kind of is this transition is because we 371 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: are a month out to that time where now you 372 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: start to see some risers, you start to see some followers, 373 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: you start to see some buzz around these players. We 374 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: talked already today Mansord Delaney at LSU's pro to today 375 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: clocked in in a sub four to four. So he 376 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: did himself some favors this afternoon as well. But I 377 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: went into yes, last week we did the uh the 378 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: PFF dot com mock draft, we did live. We did 379 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: it live. People got big mad about that. Well, I 380 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: threw it in today and I just for the sake 381 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 2: of the conversation, had the Browns taking Ty Simpson at 382 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: number six. Oh okay, didn't really change much for the 383 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, because Reese Bailey, Maui, Noah Baine, Downs 384 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: and Sunny Styles were still already off the clock, off 385 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: the board, which even in that case would lead to 386 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: mansor delayne H Carnell. 387 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 3: Tatelan gotta figure out. You got to pick one. Delaney, 388 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 3: it's pronounced delaane. But yeah, you what you want to say? Yeah, 389 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: because you just used two different words. You can't Sincy 390 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: three sixty for Tony Pike. 391 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 10: You can't. 392 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 3: I would like for you just to for clarification to 393 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 3: our listeners, for our listeners to maybe pick. 394 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: One even with all of that, Delaney, Tate, Theeneman, than 395 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: Il Freelan Kenyon, Sadik mackay Lemon, Jermad McCoy, they'd all 396 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: still be there. 397 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 9: Now. 398 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 2: In this particular mock draft, the Browns take the pick 399 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 2: at number six and Baine, Downs and Styles are still 400 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: on the board. Now they go in the next three picks. 401 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: But is there a player in this draft that if 402 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: they fall past number five, even if it's not in 403 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: the Bengals nature, that you would be willing to trade 404 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: up to get. If I said it's just one player, 405 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: which player out of the top, would you say, yes, 406 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm running to the podium to trade up. If that 407 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 2: player is available past number five or is there one. 408 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: I don't know if there is one. If there is, 409 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 3: just for like, in terms of what makes sense for 410 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 3: the Bengals, I would probably say Ruben Bang. 411 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: Okay, now I thought you, I thought maybe a Sunny Styles. Yeah, 412 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: but I just don't know that they're going to do 413 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: that again. Yeah. Yeah, I think he would be worth it, right, 414 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 2: I guess that. I guess that's that would be more 415 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: so it was worth it to you. I think maybe 416 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 2: band and Styles would be worth it. Yeah, because the 417 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 2: move they made with Cook, even if downs was was 418 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 2: in that mold, I think he has to be there 419 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: at ten to pull the trigger. I don't think you 420 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: don't trade up. I don't think they're even if he 421 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: was there, you don't think they take him, no, because 422 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: I think stupid. 423 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: I don't trust them at all. I think they're going 424 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: to take a cornerback. They're either going to take a 425 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 3: corner or they're going to reach on one of those 426 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: d tackles. That's what I seriously think is gonna happen. 427 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: And you know, I was tweeted with Joe Goodberry earlier 428 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: talking about the fact that they have put themselves behind 429 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: the eight ball. So much means that once again they're 430 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: going to have to nail the twenty twenty six draft. 431 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 3: They're going to have to hit on positions of need 432 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 3: because they didn't get them in free agency, which means 433 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 3: they're taking best player available off their board so that 434 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 3: they can get the best player available or they can 435 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: get the position of need. And also because if you 436 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: look around tight end, swing tackle, interior, offensive line, depth, 437 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: wide receiver, three backup safety, defensive end, linebacker, defensive tackle. 438 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: Just that's nine spots right there that they need guys 439 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 3: in those positions that need to get either for depth 440 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: or backfill or whatever. That's nine they have eight picks. Yeah, 441 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: they're going to, I think, have to trade back at 442 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: some point. And honestly, the first one we just did 443 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: there with middle Hurst Schwartz right USA today, maybe that's 444 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: a situation where they trade back because Theeneman, Malinoa, Delayne 445 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: FANU McCoy, CJ Allen, Caden Proctor all still on the board. 446 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 7: TJ. 447 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 3: Parker, I think that's a guy who fits what the 448 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 3: Bengals want to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they 449 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: reach for TJ. 450 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: Parker's word, But that word freaks me out now a 451 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: month away the word reach because you mentioned earlier interior 452 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: defensive line. According to Pro Football Focus today they're up 453 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: there rankings. Caden McDonald is their best available interior defensive 454 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: lineman at number twenty eight, Caleb Banks thirty two, Peter 455 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 2: Woods thirty three. Caleb Banks has a broken foot. I 456 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: am terrified that they reach for interior defensive line. 457 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 3: It's been my guess all along, and then I switched 458 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 3: it to cornerback just last week. I still think it's 459 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: one of those two positions. But I also think if 460 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: there is a year to trade back, it would be 461 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 3: in this draft now, either first or the second round, 462 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 3: doesn't have to be both, but I think one of 463 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: those two rounds it makes a lot of sense for 464 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 3: them to trade back because of Number one, the amount 465 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 3: of defensive ends, the amount of tight ends, and the 466 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 3: amount of stuff that you need to fill out your 467 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 3: roster with. And again, they have a lot of money 468 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: that they haven't spent that. Okay, if you acquire two 469 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: more picks, and I think it's only four in the 470 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 3: top one eighty, yeah, if you can get two more 471 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 3: in the top one eighty and just I'll financially all 472 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 3: that that might work out. 473 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think that makes a lot 474 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: of sense. I just don't know if they'll do it. 475 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: I don't think I have ever publicly been open to 476 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: trading back, except except if the scenario unfolds in a 477 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: month where Reese, Bailey, Baye Downs styles and I'll even 478 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: throw Jeremiah Love because if for some reason Jeremiah loves 479 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: there at ten, then you start thinking about the Jamiir Gibbs, 480 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: when the Lions already seemed to have their running back 481 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: room filled out and they took Gibbs. Nonetheless, if none 482 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: of those players are there, which most mock drafts now Austin, Reese, Love, Bailey, 483 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: baying Down styles are all off the board before number ten, 484 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: I would listen. I would listen to the idea of 485 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 2: trading back. I almost think I would listen to that 486 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 2: more so than maybe taking mans Delaney. 487 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: Maybe it's beautiful callback Maybe I think this is the 488 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: year it makes the most sense. 489 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: Yes, and I've never been one for trading back, but 490 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: this year I could be persuaded. 491 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: Just get the feeling they love one of those de tackles, stop, 492 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 3: they love one of those corners stop. I think even 493 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: t j Parker might be like that linebacker mix that 494 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: they might be looking for, which I Don'm not not 495 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 3: saying I agree with that. I'm just saying, you know, 496 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: knowing how this dude works. And by this dude, I 497 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 3: mean that dude a combination human that is Mike Brown 498 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: and Duke Tobin and whatever you would want to call 499 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: that person. 500 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: I just man, I'm getting nervous, and they need they 501 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: need picks.

Now I'm looking at this from a couple 544 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: of minutes ago with Ian Rappaport. Did you see what 545 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: he reported with Travis Kelce? I did three year, fifty 546 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: four million dollar deal can obviously be worth up to 547 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: fifty seven million dollars. Year one is a twelve million 548 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: dollar deal plus three million incentives. This is obviously his 549 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: last deal in the NFL. Do you think he makes 550 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 2: it all three No. I kind of felt like it 551 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: was just this year. I assumed when reading that that 552 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: it was like those are two void years. Yeah. I 553 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: don't know though, Yeah, I would have to get more 554 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: of the details. But I was interested because all along 555 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: I just thought, yeah, one year, he's going to give 556 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 2: it one more run. I was a little interested in 557 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: the three year fifty four million dollar number. Year one 558 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: is twelve million with three million in incentives, which makes 559 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: the rest of it seem kind of strange. Yeah. 560 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: Interesting, But if maybe there's more than a year left 561 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: for Travis Kelson, I mean, I guess next year they 562 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 3: expect the cap to go up, and the year after that. 563 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 3: I mean, you can always just restructure Mahomes's deal. So 564 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: I guess they can basically look at it and be like, hey, Travis, 565 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: if you ever want a seat at the table, sure 566 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 3: we're here. 567 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. But I would assume, and. 568 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: I have not looked, and I haven't seen it anywhere, 569 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 3: I would assume that twenty seven and twenty eight are 570 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 3: void years. 571 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense, Moegar, not a void year coming up 572 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: for Mowegar, Big year coming up for the Eggman, who's 573 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: back on the Moweger Show.

Okay, Uh, the Nickelodolo blister thing 613 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 6: is a problem. Yeah, because it keeps happening. If something 614 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 6: only happens once, it's not a problem. If something keeps happening, 615 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 6: it's a problem. Nicolodolo's blisters are now a problem, Yes, 616 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 6: just like hundred other injuries. 617 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 2: Do you think the blister injury gets handled differentely going 618 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: into a season than maybe it would in the middle 619 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: or end of a season, Like do you have to 620 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: be more cautious now? Do you have to keep them 621 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: out a longer amount of time? I have no idea. 622 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 6: I know nothing really about blisters and how you treat 623 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 6: them and how you handle them and what the remedies are. 624 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 625 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 7: I just know they keep happening. 626 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 2: How do you balance your excitement of what Matt McCain 627 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: Marty Brenneman said today that the best spring he's ever seen. 628 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 2: How do you balance that excitement versus maybe a little 629 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 2: caution with what Andrew Abbot has turned in throughout the spring, 630 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 2: because so many people say you can't, you can't look 631 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 2: into spring training. So for Andrew Abbot, what I wonder is. 632 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 6: We had the dude on from ESPN like five weeks 633 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 6: ago who said, you know, initially like the Reds, we're 634 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 6: gonna have a bottom five rotation. And then he's like, ah, 635 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 6: I misinterpreted my model, and it's like, isn't it your model? 636 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 6: But one of his basic premises was Andrew Abbott in 637 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 6: the second half of the season wasn't the same picture 638 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 6: he was in the first first half, And what he 639 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 6: was in the second half is maybe a little bit 640 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 6: more reflective of what he's going to be this year. 641 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 6: How much of his spring performances are evidence of that. 642 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 6: I'm actually more bullish on this team offensively than I 643 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 6: am bullish on this team's pitching. 644 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 2: Okay, believe it or not. So from January of this 645 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: year till now, the win total has gone from eighty 646 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: three and a half to eighty and a half. It 647 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 2: has sunk. Yeah, and it's not just in one publication 648 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: we talked about this earlier. There's not a lot of 649 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: places out there that view this as a team that's 650 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 2: going to get over five hundred. 651 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 10: Do you. 652 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 2: If I had to. 653 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 6: Guess a specific number of wins, I'm gonna say the 654 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 6: exact same win total as last. 655 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 7: Year, Okay, which I set on opening day? By the way, Okay, 656 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 7: eighty three? 657 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 2: All right? 658 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 7: I think they're an eighty three win team. 659 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: Much more of a of a betting perspective when we 660 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: get to smoke Justice as well, depending on how many 661 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 2: drinks maybe we get off the ladder. 662 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's a little bit of a game 663 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 6: we play, right which one of our colleagues will show 664 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 6: up to Small Justice. Who among our supportive coworkers will 665 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 6: be there, Who's gonna stop in to maybe bias the beverage? 666 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 2: We will see, who's gonna send someone up the ladder. 667 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 2: Last year, I think that the number was one correct? Correct? 668 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 2: You really, we really felt the love. Yes, it was 669 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: last year. 670 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 6: Last year it was like love you guys, love everything 671 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,959 Speaker 6: you do?

Same thing for our show. 675 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 6: It's like when Andy Dalton was the Bengals quarterback. We 676 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 6: used to joke about this all the time, the Andy 677 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 6: Dalton face. Ask anybody about Andy Dalton, they'll make a 678 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 6: face or make a sound before they give the answer. 679 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 6: The face or the sound matters more than the answer. 680 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 6: Same when we ask most of our colleagues, how are 681 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 6: you gonna come by or Opening days show?

I expect Dane Myers to be in 695 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 3: the opening day line I'll. 696 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 6: Take Dane Myers in the opening day lineup ahead of 697 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 6: whoever the equivalent of I Jibbo is charging out when 698 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 6: that bullpen gate flings open, Ashcraft walk his first batter. 699 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 7: Who I have been two hundreds of Reds games in 700 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 7: my life. 701 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 6: I have been. I was at Games three, four, and 702 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 6: five against San Francisco. I've seen them lose some heartbreakers. 703 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 6: I have never heard anything like the sound forty two 704 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 6: thousand people made last year when that bullpen door flung 705 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 6: open and there was like this, and then out came 706 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 6: in Jabo to sound the ballpark made. 707 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 7: Like you knew he was gonna cough it up. So 708 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 7: what's this year's version of that? 709 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 9: I like it. 710 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 6: We're not gonna say the terms Tito effect as many 711 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 6: times as we did last year. Tito, Tito the Magnificent, 712 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 6: the Tito effect. What's the Francona effect? Yea, how many 713 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 6: witness well established? How many wins is Tito gonna be 714 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 6: good for? I think they're an eighty three win team. 715 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 2: Okay, what else you got coming up on the show today? 716 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 7: March madness has never been better. 717 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 2: Call it what it is. 718 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 6: Yes, it's Chalky. Yes, that's awesome. We'll discuss. We'll get 719 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 6: to the Reds and they're opening day roster with our 720 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 6: guy Jeff Carr. He's gonna join us at three twenty 721 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 6: locked on Reds Podcast. The most remarkable thing that has 722 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 6: happened in Cincinnati sports in maybe three years is happening 723 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 6: right now. I'll explain, and we have Sean King, the 724 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 6: head coach of the Cincinnati Slingers four thirty five, plus 725 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 6: the return of Brenneman and Jones. 726 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: Maybe on base is what's happening in Cincinnati? Is that 727 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 2: happening in Clifton? 728 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 7: I don't know. 729 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 2: Is the smoke emerg no No? I thought you maybe 730 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 2: you were talking about Clinton coachs dude, and it's eighteen 731 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 2: home runs for the twenty fifth rank Bearcat. How about that. 732 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 7: Outing at the Reds game or the Bearcats game? 733 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 6: I thought you were kind of the guy. No organized, 734 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 6: I said, I would be all about it. I didn't 735 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 6: want to be the point person. Well, I said, if 736 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 6: somebody else takes charge, then I'll show up. 737 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: I missed that part. I'm sorry. Wes Miller lands at 738 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: in Charlotte. Good for him. You want to get a 739 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 2: series back with Charlotte, not really build back. 740 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 6: Some of that bad blood, so we could bring back 741 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 6: the time that Diego Diego Guvara his friend and you 742 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 6: have batteries being thrown and Ryan Fletcher throwing a ball 743 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 6: at some No, we're I'm. 744 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm good speaking of being okay and good. 745 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 7: Guess it's a Q one game, then yes, are you okay. 746 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 2: And good with seeing Joe Burrow playing more flag football? Yeah? 747 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: Flag football doesn't do it for me. Yeah, seeing him 748 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: cutting and catching past like that, and then seeing like 749 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 2: Logan Paul hit Jalen Hurt's arms while he's throwing the 750 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 2: ball forward. What are we doing? We're just asking for it. 751 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 2: At this point, I don't really have a need. 752 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 6: To watch Joe Burrow do anything besides play football. I 753 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 6: really don't look man to each their own. And if 754 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 6: we have a flag football event in the Olympics and 755 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 6: the NFL players go okay, flag football doesn't do it 756 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 6: for me. Yeah, anything that I can go watch a 757 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 6: crc CO ed League team player. 758 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 2: Uh, why did Florida want to foul down too? 759 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 7: I have no remote idea. I don't know what Todd 760 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 7: Golden was doing. 761 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 2: He's too mad at the other coach. Yeah, I don't 762 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 2: like Todd Golden down the stretch. No, what do you 763 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 2: make of the temperature for Mark Pope in Kentucky? 764 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 7: Pretty damn hot? 765 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's a weird season, it was. 766 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 6: I thought we we used this a lot, like I 767 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 6: thought the game yesterday was a little bit of a microcosm. 768 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 6: They jump out to a twenty to nine lead, and 769 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 6: you thought like, all right, as you often did with 770 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 6: UK this year, But even when they were at their best, 771 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 6: you kept waiting for the other shooter drop, which it 772 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,479 Speaker 6: did amid all the turnovers. I just like I watched 773 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 6: that game with my wife and I said to her, like, 774 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 6: Kentucky doesn't look or feel like Kentucky. No, even like 775 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 6: you know, you typically expect big Blue Nation to show 776 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 6: up and dominate an arena, didn't feel like that was 777 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 6: the case in Saint Louis. Good proximity, I guess for 778 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 6: Iowa State, but like, Kentucky just doesn't feel like Kentucky. 779 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 6: And I don't know that I feel like that's gonna 780 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 6: change with Mark Pope. I think Kentucky will always put 781 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 6: competitive teams on the field because it's Kentucky and because 782 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 6: they'll always be able to pay for players. 783 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 2: That's no knock, that's just the reality. 784 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 6: But I don't feel like Mark Pope gives them a 785 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 6: decided advantage when it comes to the NCAA tournament or 786 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 6: high level games in the SEC. 787 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 2: Is there a team who's chances you like better today 788 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 2: than maybe you did going into the tournament sixteen? Yeah, 789 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 2: because now all of a sudden they get to go 790 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 2: home for two. Yeah, and yeah, Florida is out. They 791 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 2: would have to get past Illinois, and again they're playing 792 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 2: at home. We talked about this earlier. I think Arkansas 793 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 2: can can push Arizona a little bit. Darius A. Cuff 794 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 2: is my favorite player in the country. Iowa State strong. 795 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 7: Sure, are they going to be one hundred percent in 796 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 7: the sweet sixteen? 797 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 2: We'll see. 798 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 6: What they did defensively to Kentucky was something to behold. 799 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 6: But I think Houston, because of the way they played 800 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 6: in the first two games, you know they're going to 801 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 6: be playing at home. I do really like that Illinois 802 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 6: team now, but the fact that it's home that bracket 803 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 6: no longer has Florida. They're playing really well. I like 804 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 6: the Cougars chances now more than I did going into 805 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 6: the dance when I originally did pick in the bracket 806 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 6: Illinois to. 807 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 2: Be Houston chances for Saint John's upside, Duke. 808 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,959 Speaker 6: I give him one. Duke hasn't played well in this event. 809 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 6: It doesn't mean they're not great. They may win the 810 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 6: whole thing, but for. 811 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 2: Dylan Mitchell's sake, I hope they win more. He's one 812 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 2: of my favorite Bearcats in the nil transfer area. 813 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 6: Twice during the broadcast last night, stan Van Gundy's like 814 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 6: Dylan Mitchell can dribble that, he can rebound, he can defend, 815 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 6: he can move, He's athletic, could do everything. 816 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 2: But shoot, YEP could use players like that on your team. Uh, 817 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 2: moeger is next, Have a great show, mo, I'll try 818 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 2: my best. Enjoy the rest of your Monday.
