I don't know where Lemoinne is, but uh, 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 4: Xavier plays them at the centas center and Xavier is 27 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 4: a twenty two and a half point favorite in that game. 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: Did you see what Richard Patino did after their first 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: game against Maris the other night, Austin. 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: He posted his personal grades so on his social media. 31 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 4: So he went the day after and he posted thoughts 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: on last night student section A plus defense, C plus 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: fick in the first half, took our foot off the 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 4: gas in the second, turned them over offence D minus 35 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 4: screening was poor, shot selection below average, great job of 36 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 4: getting to the foul line and rebounding. C minus minus 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 4: two on the glass not good enough. Gotta fight what 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 4: I want to know? Will he continue these grading scales 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: all season? 40 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: It's a good question. I feel like he would. He 41 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: seems like a straightforward guy. He didn't seem like somebody 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: who runs from that sort of thing, and I like that. 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 4: He also interacts on social as well. To that tweet, 44 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: the Jerome Hunter fan club responded and said, coach, my 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 4: beer drinking was a C minus. I know I need 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 4: to do better. I know I can. I'll show you 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 4: on Thursday. He said, please do better Macuras Mafia. I 48 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 4: give myself a B plus. Was loud and proud in 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: the upper deck long season, and I can greatly improve, 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 4: which is why inn a wasn't warranted. Patino says, I 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: believe in you, so he's also interacting. 52 00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: I like this. 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: I just want to see if that continues, maybe after 54 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: a loss this year. 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: But they're saying they're going to lose the leat Moyne. 56 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: No, they won't lose the lat Mooyne, but at some 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 4: point they'll lose a game. What does the tweet look 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: like then? 59 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: But I'm I'm not convinced that they will, that they'll 60 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: beat Lamoyn, or that they'll lose Wall. Yet they'll lose 61 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: a game, who's to say they don't go undefeated. You know, 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to start the show this way, but 63 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: you often make fun of Ohio State football for their schedule. No, 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: you do it quite frequently. 65 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 5: Never. 66 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: And I was having a conversation with Arn prior to 67 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: the show today, and we were looking at the UC 68 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: men's basketball schedule. Okay, and you play Georgia State, Dayton, 69 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: Mount Saint Mary's, Louisville, n J, I T Eastern Michigan, 70 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: Tarleton State, Xavier. All those games are in the city 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: of Cincinnati. Sure. Now we're up to December the fifth 72 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: that we've passed, So go up to December thirteenth. You 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: played Georgia on the road, right, Yes, No, in Atlanta 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 3: at the Hawk Stadium. Well, that is on the road. 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: It's just not on the road. It's a neutral site. 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 6: You know. 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: It's in Atlanta. I'm playing at Heritage Bank Clemson on 78 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: the road. And then you go to Alabama State. Come 79 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: back here to play Alabama State Clemson. Is that Clemson. 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: That's an old game. It's in North Carolina. It's in Greenville, 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 3: South Carolina, not in Clemson. So again, not a true 82 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: road game. Come back for two more at Fifth Third Arena. 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: You don't play a true road game until twenty twenty six, 84 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: on your favorite day, Tuesday, January sixth, at seven pm 85 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: at West Virginia. Wow, can you explain this great scheduling? 86 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not awful, kind of crazy. You don't 87 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: play a true road until January. They picked neutral site 88 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: for Georgia and Clemson. 89 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 4: Louisville wants to come to Heritage Bank to get a 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 4: real feel of a tournament atmosphere. Spin zones crazy, unbelievable, 91 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: but yes, a savior in Cincinnati. Logan Wilson said goodbye 92 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 4: via social media to the Cincinnati Bengals. What did you 93 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: make of what Logan Wilson had to say? 94 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: I thought it was lovely. 95 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: Now it's a lot about six different paragraphs. He also 96 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 4: Austin went into great detail to thank in person a 97 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: couple different players and a couple of coaches that have 98 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 4: helped him along the way. Do you make anything out 99 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: of the fact that he did not mention at one 100 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: time Zach Taylor. 101 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 3: Hey, I think it's a little weird. Yeah. He mentions 102 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: Anna Rumo, Golden, James Betcher, Mike Hodge former linebackers coaches. Yeah, 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: he mentions Joey Bose and Garrett Swanson. He mentions Eric Ball, 104 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: Jeff Brickner. 105 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 4: Yep, doesn't mention mentioned the Browns family, Zach Taylor, every 106 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: single person in the front office. 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: I think that's a little bit strange. 108 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 4: It is when you go out of your way to 109 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: talk about so many others and not Zach Taylor. 110 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: Not abnormal, though sure we have seen that in the 111 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: past from guys like Carlos donlat Aj Green and others. 112 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken. So there's something you make note of. 113 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: A very sad situation happening around Dallas. Cowboy defensive end 114 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: Marshawn Neland, just twenty four years old, the former second 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 4: round pick Austin, who scored a touchdown in their game 116 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: over the weekend, scored a special team's touchdown, has apparently died, 117 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: and it is being reported that it's from an apparent 118 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: self inflicted gunshot wound that happened I believe after he 119 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 4: was on I don't want to get the details wrong, 120 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: but according to Frisco Police, the department responded to assist 121 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: the Texas Department of Public Safety with locating the vehicle 122 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: that evaded troopers during a pursuit. 123 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: They later found Neland's body. So very sad for a 124 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 3: former second round pick and a twenty four year old 125 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys and Plano Police Department spokesman said 126 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: that they received a call for a welfare check on 127 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: marshawn Neland last night and they were given the address 128 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: to go to and they he wasn't there because the 129 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: pursuit was already underway going on in Frisco, and so 130 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: not sure what started the pursuit, don't know how any 131 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 3: of that happened, but he eventually crashed and then fled 132 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 3: on foot and then it appears took his own life. 133 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: Just really sad for a young player that certainly had 134 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: some upside for the Cowboys. They're on their bye week 135 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: this week. If you know anything about Dak Prescott and 136 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: his story, he has been personally affected by suicide as 137 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: well and always writes something on his wristband, and so 138 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: that's just got to be a devastating feeling for all 139 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: of them. It's just a really, really sad thing. And 140 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: to think, you know, we just had Rudy Johnson a 141 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: couple of months ago, month or two ago that went 142 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: through something similar. So it's just sad, man, very very sad. 143 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: Last night, Austin, something happened in the sports world that 144 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: we don't get to talk about. Very much, because an 145 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: athlete became the first ever to do something in his 146 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 4: respective sport. Think about that in twenty twenty five, with 147 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: where we are in sports, to become the first ever 148 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: to reach a certain milestone is just not something you see. 149 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 4: You see records that are broken, but you very rarely 150 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: see someone in rarefied air. That changed last night with 151 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: Washington Capital star Alex Ovechkin. He became the first member 152 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: ever Austin in National Hockey League to scored nine hundred 153 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: goals nine hundo for OV. Now here's what I respect. 154 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 4: Jordan Bennington. 155 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: You know this name. I don't know anything about this guy. 156 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: He's the goaltender last night for Saint Louis. OV scores 157 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 4: number nine hundred. 158 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: I did hear about this. 159 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: Bennington grabs the puck and just casually tries to tuck 160 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 4: it inside of his pants. There's like a video of 161 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: him like slowly skating in a circle. He's got the puck, 162 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: He's trying to find somewhere to lodge it within his 163 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 4: pads and his pants. Eventually, this video has found and 164 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 4: they reach back to Bennington and they get the puck 165 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: back and they give it to Alex Ovechkin. But shout 166 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: out to Jordan Bennington for at least trying. If he's 167 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 4: going to give up the goal he wanted, at least 168 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 4: own a piece of history. I can respect that. I 169 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 4: respect that. How about something else that you brought up 170 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: on your social media about respecting something. Oh, there has 171 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 4: been outrage Austin around steven A Smith. Oh, steven A 172 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 4: Smith is like doing ads for this solitaire game and 173 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: it kind of poked fun at him being on his 174 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: phone during the NBA Finals and he's doing it, and 175 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: then I saw Dan Orlovski and others around ESPN do it, 176 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: and people are pushing back on this, And as you 177 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 4: put it, I think perfectly, why are we mad at 178 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 4: people to go get their own checks? 179 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: Well, I have been given some new information that apparently 180 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: this app that they are promoting has been in some 181 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: legal turmoil in the past. But still, the reason that 182 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: you have to buy law hashtag ad or hashtag paid 183 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 3: partnership is to inform your followers that you are being 184 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: paid to do this. And for an app like that, 185 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: to me, it's a major red flag. It's like, hey, 186 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: I don't really use this or I don't I've never 187 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: talked about this before. But they're asking me to tweet 188 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: about this. So here's the tweet. And so, yeah, it's 189 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: a cringey campaign, and you got all these ESPN people 190 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: doing it. But I'm sure they're being paid thousands of dollars, yes, 191 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: to put out these corny posts. They're not hiding from it. 192 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: They're making it pretty obvious and pretty corny, I'm sure 193 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: on purpose so that everybody will talk about it. You 194 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: and me and everybody you know would tweet an ad 195 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 3: no matter how it was, if it meant you got 196 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 3: thousands of dollars to do. 197 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 4: So, we were just giving information on theirs. The great 198 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: Tom Browning pitch for Leamoyne in. 199 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: College, No kidding, Yes, Okay, Tom Browning, all right, Tom 200 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: pitch for two years for Lamoine in Syracuse.

Those are the names of eight 207 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 4: former Reds players who are on the twenty twenty six 208 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: Reds Hall of Fame ballot. 209 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: I once won a giveaway from Mike Leak on Twitter. 210 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: Oh and won an autographed baseball. Wow, I still have 211 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: it to this day. 212 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 4: Two of these players will be selected, So two of 213 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 4: the eight and this is a fan vote. 214 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: I voted earlier today. Okay, I only picked one. Wow. Yeah, 215 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 3: is that because you only think one is worthy? Kind 216 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 3: of Yeah? Okay, I can't. And I guess who it was? Yeah, 217 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: b Phil, Yeah, I mean it's it's not even not 218 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: even a question. He's one of the best players in 219 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: the history of this franchise and that says a lot. 220 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: And I think the best defensive player who's ever played 221 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: for the franchise, and that includes Johnny Bench. I'm not 222 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: afraid to say that. But I think Homer Bailey, you 223 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: can it can make sense of that. I'm obviously legendary 224 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: moments and was on some really good teams and a 225 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: guy that was hyped up. I get all that. Coco Cordero, no, 226 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: Zach Cozart, not really Harangue. I can understand the case 227 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: there Okay, Volcez, Scott Rowland, big impact, short amount of time, 228 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 3: didn't make a play in a big moment in the playoffs, 229 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: and then Mike League cool story, he never pitched in 230 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 3: the minor leagues and hit a couple of homers. I 231 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: don't know that he's a Red's Hall of Famer, though, 232 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 3: I think this is I don't know such I don't 233 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: want to like dump on the process here, but this 234 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: is kind of the unfortunate reality of an era of 235 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: Reds baseball that hasn't been very good. 236 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: I feel like if I had for the last twe 237 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 4: if I had to guess based on what fans will think, 238 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: I think it would be Phillips. And then I think 239 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 4: maybe Bailey because of the no hitters, sure, and just 240 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 4: how long he was tenured here, Yeah, seven to twenty eighteen. 241 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 4: But we'll spend more time on this next week. I 242 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: believe we're going to try to talk I think we're 243 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 4: gonna try to talk to Rick Walls at some point 244 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 4: next week from the Hall of Fame. 245 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. And I think the whole thing happens in like 246 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 3: April and they do. It's all kind of put together, 247 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: that Reds dode. They're the best at this. They're the best. 248 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: Which speaking of which, actually yesterday in the mail, I 249 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 3: got my certificate and my pin and like the photos 250 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: from the Marty Bretteman Legacy forty six Club. So they 251 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 3: did this thing where if you donated forty six dollars, 252 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: you know, you get this certificate and you get some pictures, 253 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: and you get an elite like a special pin, and 254 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 3: you get your name up in the Reds Hall of 255 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: Fame and the Broadcasting Exhibit. And I just did that 256 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: as a way to try to support Marty, which obviously 257 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 3: means a lot to me. And I mean just that 258 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: little stuff like that. The Reds are so good at that. 259 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: And I love that they do the Hall of Fame 260 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: every other year. And yeah, I'm excited about this. Love it, 261 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: love it. And Brandon Phillips is awesome. 262 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 4: When we come back, it is the bye week, So 263 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: let's spend some time on something that starts today. Major 264 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: League Baseball free agency starts at five. Let's discuss that 265 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: we're going to do that during football and the Natty. 266 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 4: No we're not, oh darn it. I mean, I can 267 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: just move football in the NATTI if it's move football 268 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: in the NATI, because some big things happening today in baseball, 269 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: and some news from yesterday with the Cincinnati Reds. We'll 270 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: discuss when we get back ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 271 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 4: Thanks to our friends at Skyline Chile. 272 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 7: Now you're and he gave it away to Wolvetchkin. 273 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 8: The pucks centered up here for Chick credit driving a 274 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 8: pluck that is in a short and it's. 275 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: Nine one hundred guys, the Alexander, Oh that's dead. 276 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 8: The nine one hundred club has its first fiverer. 277 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: Crazy crazy stuff, nine hundred career goals, absolutely insane. Congrats 278 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: to Alex Novechkin. Our wind Schulers called and I you know, Axelvechkin, 279 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: he looks like he could could put down some wind Shulers. Oh, totally. 280 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: It looks like he'd like some cheese spreads, four delicious 281 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: flavors that pair well with literally anything. You think he 282 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: had to get together for his nine hundred last night. 283 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: If so, wind Schulers should have been a part of 284 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: it because they're perfect for any get together. And I'm 285 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: sure Winschulers goes great with vodka, which I'm sure was 286 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: celebrating with. That was the call on the Washington Capitols 287 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: Radio Network wjfk. 288 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: Okay, here's the thing. MLB free agency kicks off at 289 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 4: five o'clock tonight. 290 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: That kind of snuck up on us, didn't it. 291 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 4: We mentioned yesterday per bet online that the current leaders 292 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: to land Kyle Schwarber are the Cincinnati Reds at plus 293 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 4: two point fifty. Those are the highest odds of any 294 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 4: team linked to Kyle Schwarber. Now, for many reasons, I 295 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: don't view this happening. One because ESPN dot Com and 296 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: Kylie McDaniel put together a list of contract projections for 297 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 4: the top fifty free agents in all of Major League Baseball, 298 00:16:52,360 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: and for Kyle Schwarber, the projected contract is four years. 299 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 4: There's one hundred and twenty eight million dollars. That means 300 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 4: thirty two million average per year. I just don't see 301 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 4: the Reds throwing up thirty two million a year for 302 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarber. And if that's the projected number, then I 303 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 4: Austin would have a hard time believing that Kyle Schwarber 304 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 4: would want to take any type of a hometown discount 305 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 4: when that's the money he's being projected. So for me, 306 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: this has never really been a thing. No now where 307 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 4: bet online gets that and what information they have, because 308 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: normally odds makers are pretty right about things. I don't know, 309 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 4: I don't understand it, but I have a hard time 310 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 4: believing that Kyle Schwarber will be a Cincinnati read. 311 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 3: Bet Online usually has some off the wall odds on 312 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 3: stuff like this that have you a little bit surprised. 313 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: I don't know that I would say they're ever all 314 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 3: that accurate specifically that group of people. I think the 315 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 3: idea that the fact that Schwarber was asked about it 316 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 3: and spoke glow of the idea of returning home is 317 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: a big deal. I think that's probably where most of 318 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: this comes from. But I think he would be foolish, 319 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 3: quite frankly, to basically play for free. Yeah, and compared 320 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 3: to what he would be able to get, and especially 321 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: considering that there's probably going to be a lockout next season, 322 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: not this season, but next season, which would mean get 323 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 3: as much money as you can right now if you're 324 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 3: kylege Warber, Because you got to keep in mind he's 325 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 3: also sneaking up on forty years old. He's to be 326 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 3: thirty three at the start of the year. Yeah, so yeah, 327 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 3: it makes perfect sense. I just don't see it happening 328 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: here in Cincinnati. Now. There were moves and there have 329 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: been moves that the Reds have made Austin in terms 330 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: of money. We talked about the options for Brent Souter, 331 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: Scott Barlow and Austin Hayes. Yesterday the Reds declined all three. 332 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 3: So Lance McAllister betwet today. 333 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 4: That essentially means Austin that the Reds will have an 334 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: extra twenty to twenty five million dollars in order to 335 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 4: replace Austin Hayes, Brent suteror Scott Barlow, Amelio Pagan, Nick Martinez, 336 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: Miguel andrewhar Zac Letel and Santiago Espinal. 337 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And to be clear, it's not an extra that's 338 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 3: like based on their payroll and the way that they 339 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: do business. If it is to mirror what it was 340 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 3: last year, that's the cap that they have basically is 341 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: twenty five million. 342 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 4: Dollars, which would make it pretty hard to give one 343 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 4: guy thirty two million a year. 344 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: Correct, You wouldn't have a bullpen, you wouldn't have any depth. 345 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 9: You know. 346 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: Terry Francona was on the Hot Stove League last night 347 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 3: and repeatedly brought up the idea of depth and talked 348 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 3: about how when guys got hurt last year, we didn't 349 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: have anywhere to turn really, and I thought that was 350 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 3: a good point from Francona and maybe a peek into 351 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: what the philosophy is going to be beyond just you know, 352 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: getting guys that can and play its depth at multiple 353 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: positions that they feel comfortable turning to. Yeah, it is Uh, 354 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting to follow along with right now. 355 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 3: I believe the rock. I saw this from Charlie gold Smith. 356 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 4: The rosters at thirty two, thirty seven if you count 357 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 4: players that are on the sixty day injured list. So 358 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 4: what that looks like going forward, we'll see. Terry Franken 359 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 4: also did talk about Ellie daily Cruz and his defensive 360 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 4: improvements last night. I said, that's the one hundred million 361 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 4: dollar question. I think Freddie Benavitez is one of the 362 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 4: better coaches I've ever been around. He lives and dies 363 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: trying to get these guys better. Ellie makes some mayors 364 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 4: that can be fixed. I also think with such a 365 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 4: long levered guy, every time he throws, you got to 366 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 4: pay attention. We've got to clean that up. We're gonna 367 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: spend a ton of energy trying to do that. My 368 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 4: question is, it's been two years, why hasn't it been 369 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 4: cleaned up yet? 370 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 6: Yep. 371 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: I love Freddie Benavite's and a lot of people speak 372 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: highly of him. But the Red's infield defense has sucked. Yep. 373 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 3: It sucks so bad they had to go trade for 374 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: key Brian Hayes. So that's been one of my sticking 375 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 3: points with the Reds. Is I love that, you know, 376 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: you got these coaches that are good vibes guys, but 377 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: can they coach and are they getting through? And I 378 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 3: don't know that that's the case. The Reds infield defense 379 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: has been abysmal for the last several years. And I 380 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: thought Spencer Steer took a step forward this year being 381 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: a Gold Glove finalist, Ellie took a step backwards. And 382 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 3: I think Matt McClain was fine, But I don't know 383 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: that their defense has ever felt like a weapon. And 384 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: you know, I get it, and a lot of people 385 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 3: like to bring up the idea of Barry Larkin when 386 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: he was a young player made a lot of errors. 387 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 3: That's true. Same with Derek Jeter. That's fine, but it's 388 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: now or never for Ellie Daily Cruz. 389 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is normally, for the most part, when you 390 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 4: talk about big deals in free agency, it's not like 391 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 4: at five oh five tonight you're gonna hear a big 392 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 4: deal come in. Those things tend to take a little 393 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: bit more time. But man, as we mentioned yesterday, it's 394 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: not the Otani and Juan Soto free agency class, but 395 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, friend Er Valdez, Alex Bregman, Dylan Ceese, Bobashett, 396 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonzo. There are still some big names 397 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 4: that have to be accounted for this offseason that we'll 398 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 4: be exciting to follow along with. As it pertains to 399 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. 400 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 3: In years past, it has taken a long time for 401 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 3: some of the top free agents to come off the board, 402 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: and I think a lot of that is because the 403 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: asking price, the initial asking price is ridiculous coming from 404 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: their agents to these teams. But I wonder if the 405 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 3: threat of the looming lockout will expedite that process at all, 406 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: change it a little bit. A guy like Pete Alonzo, 407 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: for example, you pretty much know who he is. You 408 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: know he's is he going to have a team in 409 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: mind or team that you know knows exactly what they want, 410 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 3: like you know, the Reds would love for the Reds 411 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: to have also not going to happen. But I just 412 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: wonder if that process will get sped up a little 413 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: bit because guys don't want to wait around and have 414 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: to you know, get less money than they originally thought 415 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 3: they would get at the beginning. Makes sense. 416 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 4: Let's take a break here, let's come back Austin. We'll 417 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 4: get the football in the Natty at the end of 418 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 4: our number one.

Let me just see if I 445 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 3: heard it correctly. 446 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 2: It's time to play fine sell right. 447 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 4: Now, three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty at Sports Station.

Name of the game now, for what it's worth, 454 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: BYU is a ten and a half point dog against 455 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: Texas Tech. This weekend. I find that to be a 456 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: lot of points. I think that says a lot more 457 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: about Texas Tech. I think Texas Tech is a train. 458 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 3: But you're going to sell that, Okay, I am. I'm 459 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 3: excited about what I've seen from the Bearcats. I need 460 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 3: to see it against better competition, Okay, because they got 461 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 3: boat raced and urinated down their leg against Utah. I'm 462 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: buying the Bearcats to make I didn't say win the 463 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: Big Twelve title. I said they play in the Big 464 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 3: Twelve title game in Dallas. I think they beat Arizona. 465 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 3: I think the BYU game is going to be a 466 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: fantastic atmosphere. 467 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: It's going to be a dog fight. I think they 468 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 4: get out of that and then they go to TCU 469 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: and they take care of business. Buy or sell early 470 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 4: in the season, but we're forecasting here, and this is 471 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 4: the bare minimum for Wes Miller. Buy or sell, you 472 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 4: see will make the NCAA tournament. I'm gonna sell, Wow, 473 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: the same literally the same argument. 474 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: Okay, I believe it until I see it. Yeah, you 475 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 3: already have struggling big men, right or that position is 476 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 3: thin and a question mark and now an injury to 477 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: sincere Harris. Maybe Seanabive can be that guy that goes 478 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: and creates so much more offensively than anybody expected, and 479 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 3: the team is desperately needed. But the big man worries me. 480 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 3: The injuries worry me, and the lack of results in 481 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 3: the past worry me. 482 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 4: Well, for everything you outlined in the schedule, I think 483 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 4: they should get through the non conference schedule pretty good. 484 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: I think they should take care of business. I think 485 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: this team you want to talk about a shot in 486 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: the arm, Louisville coming to Heritage Bank Arena, Louisville's the 487 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 4: eleventh ranked team in the country. A way to win 488 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 4: that in this conversation, conversation changes completely. I like the 489 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 4: roster they added a GM. I think this roster fits 490 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 4: better together. I think they're going to be a team 491 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: that can score in bunches. Last year that the ball 492 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 4: just got stagnant way too many times. I will buy 493 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 4: the Bearcats to make the NCAA Tournament. The Xavier Musketeers Austin. 494 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 4: We put out the bat signal a couple of weeks ago, 495 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 4: and we wanted Xavier fans to tell us, what's your 496 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 4: makeup of this season? Where do you put your expectations 497 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 4: and for many it was five hundred b five hundred 498 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 4: and the Big East and that's a success. So I 499 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 4: ask you buy or sell. Xavier will finish the Big 500 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: East at five hundred. I'm going to sell that as well. Okay, 501 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 4: well you're not buying. You got a lot of money left. 502 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 4: You're not buying. You're like the Reds right now? 503 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 3: What you mean? But you're selling everything? Yeah? Yeah, that 504 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: means I can buy big later on. You said I 505 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 3: got ten of these then, so you're waiting to get 506 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: this number three? Yeah, I mean, I mean expectations are very low. 507 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: I didn't like what I saw in the second half 508 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: against Marist. 509 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 11: Yeah. 510 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 3: I don't know anything about Richard Patino. I don't know 511 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 3: much about these players. I don't know what this is 512 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: going to look like. It would be foolish for me 513 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 3: to buy. 514 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest thing right now is you 515 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 4: just don't know about it. Yeah, you don't know about 516 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 4: the players. You've had one opportunity to look, and let's 517 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: call it what it is. They failed in that first opportunity. 518 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 4: They had to go to the ropes against Marit to 519 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: get a win. Now, will this team improve? He should 520 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 4: go Absolutely, they don't have a ton of opportunities for 521 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 4: a major non conference when they go to Iowa. Now 522 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 4: me saying this, they'll beat Cincinnati this year at home. 523 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 4: I'm selling as well as Avier in the Big East. 524 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 4: Not as much on the Musketeers, but just I think 525 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 4: on the Big East schedule alone, I think Yukon is 526 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 4: going to be very good. I think Villanova is much improved. 527 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 4: Saint John's is going to be a monster. You still 528 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 4: got seat in. Creighton is a ranked team, Marquette is 529 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: always tough. I think they're slightly under five hundred in 530 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 4: the Big East. But I think there are good things 531 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 4: coming because I think Richard Patino is a good coach 532 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 4: and they will find their way all right, buy or 533 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 4: sell often. Joe Flacco will be a Bengal in twenty 534 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 4: twenty six. 535 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good one. I was reading something yesterday 536 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: that the Steelers could target Joe Flacco if Aaron Rodgers 537 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 3: decides to retire. Good point. Joe Flacco has made it 538 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: quite obvious that he wants to play, and the reason 539 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: he's playing still is because he wants to play and 540 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 3: thinks he can help a team. And clearly he can yes. 541 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: I don't know if the Bengals will maybe match the 542 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: price that Joe Flacco might get okay in free agency, 543 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 3: but just the idea of Flaccomania and the idea of 544 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow being perhaps to some fragile Yeah, I'm gonna 545 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 3: say yes, they do invest in their backup quarterback. We've 546 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 3: seen them do it in the past with Jake Browning. 547 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say they do. Joe Flacco is here next year. 548 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 4: I'm buying this wholeheartedly, not only because of what he 549 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 4: can do on the field, but I think he can 550 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 4: be even more in factful to Joe Burrow. We've talked 551 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: for a while now about what Joe Burrow don't like 552 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 4: going under center. There are things Joe Burrow doesn't want 553 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 4: to do. Guess who could maybe get through to him 554 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 4: a little more, A guy that's played for a long 555 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 4: time in the NFL. I think Joe Flacca would be 556 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 4: the perfect backup quarterback to Joe Burrow. I think he's 557 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 4: a welcome site, a breath of fresh air, and obviously 558 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 4: if you have to turn to him, you feel like 559 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 4: he's going to be able to weather the ship and 560 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 4: weather the storm. I am buying Joe Flacco is a 561 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 4: Bengal in twenty twenty six. This one has two parts. 562 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 4: This is one B to the question Zach Taylor a 563 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 4: Bengal in twenty twenty six. 564 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes, I'm gonna buy that. Okay, I'm 565 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 3: buying it as well, just because I don't think they 566 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 3: move on from Zach. I think Joe bean out this 567 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 3: season is enough of a reason that they'll say at 568 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: the end of the year, we're going to bring it 569 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 3: back and run this back again. I don't think the 570 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: moves that you make, and that they have made our 571 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: moves that are indicative of a desperate head coach or 572 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 3: a head coach that feels like he's on the hot seat. 573 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 3: I also believe that the offensive coaching that they have 574 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: done this year is some of the best I've seen 575 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 3: in some of the best in the National Football League. 576 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 3: I think the Brown family thinks highly of Zach as 577 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 3: an offensive mind. That's why he was hired to begin with, 578 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: especially with not elite qualifications, and I do think that 579 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 3: he deserves credit for the way this offense has performed. 580 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: They could be getting beaten forty two to nothing every game, 581 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 3: but they're not they're getting beaten forty seven to forty two, 582 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 3: and there's at least something to that. I'm not saying 583 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: that's the right move. I don't know that I necessarily 584 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 3: agree with it, but I do that Zach is here. 585 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 4: That's where I'm at. If this is my choice, he's 586 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: not here the Bengals choice. I think he is here 587 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 4: for all the reasons you just mentioned. But I do 588 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 4: think this gets interesting in Austin if things continue to 589 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 4: get worse after the bye week. Yeah, that's where I 590 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 4: think this can change, all right. I think this was 591 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 4: decided when it first happened, but I've been asked it, 592 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 4: so I threw it on here. You buy or sell 593 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow taking another snap this year? Now, this would 594 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 4: be a good one to hold. 595 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 3: Uh huh. For what it's worth, I'm selling. I don't 596 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: think this team puts himself in a position that they're 597 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 3: playing meaningful football when Joe Burrow would be healthy. I 598 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: think for that reason, you say, just get even healthier 599 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: and we'll see you next year. Yeah. I want to 600 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 3: sell it, but I have a feeling he's gonna push 601 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: hard to play. Wow, Okay, yeah, I don't If he 602 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: does going to take a risk here. I'm gonna buy this. 603 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 4: But if he does that, should someone within the organization say, 604 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 4: we appreciate that, but you're not playing this year? 605 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: Yes. Joe Burrow also rode on a golf cart with 606 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: Mike Brown, and Mike Brown told him he wasn't playing 607 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: on Monday Night football, and Joe Burrow said, yes, I am, 608 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 3: and played with a bad calf against the Rams and 609 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 3: won that game. Different circumstances, same two guys. I think 610 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 3: Joe will push hard to play. Okay, I'm gonna say yes. 611 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if I entirely believe that, but I'm 612 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 3: gonna buy it. 613 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 4: How about this, Jamar Chase will finish in the top 614 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 4: five among NFL receivers in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Now, 615 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 4: I'll throw it out here right now, he is tops 616 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 4: in the NFL by a wide margin. In receptions, he 617 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 4: already has seventy six receptions. The next closest is Christian 618 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 4: McCaffrey at sixty one and Pukinakua, so he is fifteen 619 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 4: clear of anyone else on that. Yardage Wise, he is 620 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 4: second in the NFL, well behind Jackson Smith and Jigba. 621 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 4: And touchdowns, He's currently in a tie for tenth at five, 622 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 4: but the leader, Davante Adams, has eight buy or sell. 623 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 4: When all is said and done, Jamar Chase will finish 624 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 4: in the top five in each category. 625 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna sell it because the Bengals have to go 626 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 3: on the road more frequently than they have been as 627 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 3: of late. 628 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: And is Football in the NATI brought to you by 629 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: Postman Law on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home of 630 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. 631 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 4: Now Austin Welcome back. Welcome back everyone, not just Austin. 632 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 4: It's since he three to sixty thanks to Skyline Chili, 633 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 4: but yes, you Austin as well. 634 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 3: Welcome back. 635 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 4: Normally on Thursdays, we read and react a little bit 636 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 4: to the next opponent for the Cincinnati Bengals. I thought 637 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 4: with Football in the NATTI with a bye week, we 638 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 4: could talk about maybe some of the things that happen 639 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 4: in that Bears game in a little bit more depth. 640 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 4: You want to know how bad the defense has been 641 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 4: when it comes to missing tackles. We mentioned the Bengal 642 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 4: players that make up the mistackle list in the NFL. 643 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 4: They are all over the top ten. To put it 644 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 4: into perspective, last Sunday, the Bengals missed fifteen tackles that 645 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 4: allowed Austin for one hundred and thirty three extra yards. 646 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 4: After said miss tackles, including the game winner to Colston Loveland, 647 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 4: they entered Sunday allowing ninety four miss tackles and six 648 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: hundred and forty five yards, both most in the NFL. 649 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 4: Those numbers only increase. So we talk about tackling, and 650 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 4: you and I both mentioned tackling as a thing to 651 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 4: improve on in the second half. Does it still process 652 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 4: just how bad they've been tackling When you hear numbers. 653 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 3: Like that, Uh, it's exactly what I expect. 654 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 4: Incredible, Yeah, it's incredible. T Higgins huge game on Sunday. 655 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 3: Him. 656 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 4: T Higgins has been pressed on forty three point six 657 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 4: percent of his routes this season, the highest rate among 658 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 4: wide receivers in the National Football League. Why do we 659 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 4: feel like teams are deciding to press t Higgins more? 660 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 3: I think maybe the lack of production in recent weeks 661 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 3: and all the attention going to Jamar Chase that people 662 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 3: just kind of forgot who T Higgins was, and he 663 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 3: reminded them against the Bears. Yeah, I mean, he caught 664 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 3: that ball, he said on the micd up he couldn't 665 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 3: even see it. 666 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 4: I think one of the reasons is that opposing defenses 667 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 4: would rather risk bringing pressure or getting home with the 668 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 4: front four before t Higgins can get open. 669 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 670 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 4: I think playing off would just playing into the Bengals hands. 671 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 4: I think teams are saying, we're going to press Higgins 672 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 4: and maybe make him for a half second more take 673 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 4: time to get into his route, which allows us to 674 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 4: get home quicker. I think teams just think they can 675 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 4: get to the quarterback quicker than they can get the 676 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 4: ball to Higgins. 677 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 3: I think that's why they press him so much. 678 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 4: Chase Brown averaged the third fewest yards before contact per 679 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 4: carry among running backs in the NFL this season. That 680 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 4: changed though Austin going back to the Jets week two 681 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 4: point four yards before contact. So it does signify the 682 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 4: numbers we're seeing match what the Bengals are doing from 683 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 4: a production point of view. They are running the ball 684 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 4: more effectively and Chase Brown is getting much more room 685 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 4: to operate. I don't want to put it all to 686 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 4: the fact that they run more under center, but I 687 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 4: think under center has a big, big part to say 688 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 4: in this. That's why I think Joe Flacco is necessary 689 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 4: going forward. That's why I think Joe Flacco can help 690 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow more than just on the field. 691 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 3: But is Joe Flacco gonna outrank Zach Taylor and Jake 692 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 3: and Joe Burrow in the room. 693 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 4: I don't think you would have to outrank Zach because 694 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 4: I think Zach wants to do more under center. 695 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 3: But is I just don't know that when Joe is 696 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 3: fully healthy, if Flacco is gonna have veto power over 697 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 3: parts of the game plan, like he might make his 698 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 3: opinion known, and I guess maybe that holds some weight. No, no, no, 699 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 3: I don't know that it's going to have a huge impact. 700 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, don't. 701 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 4: I don't see it having an impact going into the 702 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 4: game plan. But what I do think could help is, 703 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 4: again this is us assuming, but I'm assuming that Zach 704 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 4: would like to run as much under center with Joe 705 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 4: Burrow as he does with Joe Flacco. I would also 706 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 4: assume that Joe just Burrow just doesn't want to do that. 707 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 4: That's where I think Flacco can help. I think Flacco 708 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 4: can open maybe the eyes a little bit more of 709 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow and maybe help with techniques or maybe help 710 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 4: with something with vision or defensive recognition to where Burrow 711 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 4: would feel a little bit more comfortable to turn his 712 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 4: back for a split second. I don't think Flaco would 713 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 4: have a say in a game plan as a backup quarterback, 714 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 4: but I do think film study, I think the inability 715 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 4: to go under center, I think maybe Flacco can have 716 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 4: a little bit of a say in that. 717 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 3: At least I think so, but we'll see. 718 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 4: But again, if you're asking me, is it better for 719 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow to have Jake Browning or Joe Flacco as 720 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 4: a backup, I think just the experience of Flacco would 721 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 4: go a long way for Joe. Sure, And again, people 722 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 4: throw injury prone around now for Joe Burrow, and I 723 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 4: don't think it's unfair for people to say that because 724 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 4: of what's happened to Joe in his career, and you 725 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 4: could call it fluky, and I certainly think that a 726 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 4: lot of it has been. But if you do have 727 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 4: to enter a three or four game window and Joe 728 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 4: Flacco is your backup, based on what we've seen and 729 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 4: knowing that Jamar, Chase and t Higgins are going to 730 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 4: be here and Chase Brown's going to be here, then 731 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 4: I think you would feel pretty good about staying afloat 732 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 4: during those four games. And I think ultimately, as a 733 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 4: backup quarterback, that's all you're asking him to do. But 734 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 4: I think it's his work off the field in the 735 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,879 Speaker 4: film room around Joe Burrow that I think would help 736 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, who I already view as a top two 737 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 4: or three quarterback in the league, ascend to the top 738 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 4: quarterback in the league by just a little bit of 739 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 4: a push and maybe a little bit of help from 740 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 4: Joe Flacco. We'll see, we'll see, I mean if And 741 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 4: maybe that's why it's important Austin for Burrow in his 742 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 4: mind to play again this year. Maybe it's important to 743 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 4: say I do want to come back. I want to 744 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 4: have Flacco on the sideline. I want to see how 745 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 4: that feels for a couple of games. And maybe there 746 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 4: is more insight from an organization of man, it is 747 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 4: important that this guy comes back, because look at the 748 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 4: impact he had in that last game or two where 749 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was able to play. Assuming but that's kind 750 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 4: of what you do on a bye week. What do 751 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 4: we have coming up? 752 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 3: An hour? Number two?

We'll also talk to Kegan nickoson at two 757 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 3: o'clock after that, So so Bob Man. 758 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 4: We still have a lot nickoson Mangene talkbacks all between 759 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 4: now and three o'clock.

The 787 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 7: sun is out. I have so many plans of maybe 788 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 7: doing nothing. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be the 789 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 7: best Sunday the last two months. 790 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 3: Are you gonna watch any NFL football? So you remember 791 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 3: what it's supposed to look like? 792 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 7: You know, I haven't decided that yet, but if I do, 793 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 7: I'm gonna be trans six for sure. 794 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 3: Important. Is it just to have a bye weekend for 795 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 3: your mental health? At this point? 796 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 7: I mean it can't. There's nothing that comes close to 797 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 7: it at this point. I wish there was two more, 798 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 7: which is what I hope that the NFL is pushing for. 799 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 7: Once they push the schedule all the way to March 800 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 7: or something like that. But I'm looking forward to it. 801 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 3: This team. 802 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 4: It's obviously on the defensive side of the ball a 803 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 4: comedy of airs. You have four players who make up 804 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 4: the top ten in the NFL and missed tackles in 805 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 4: that category, including the top two. I don't even know 806 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 4: where to start on the defensive side of the ball. 807 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 4: If you were tasked over the bye week and trying 808 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 4: to find ways to improve this defense, where would you 809 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 4: look to start the door? 810 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 13: I don't know. It's just like. 811 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 7: These guys when they play it, I've never seen it 812 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 7: to the point where like they look like they're overmatched, 813 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 7: Like they kind of look like they just don't have 814 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 7: the juice. And that's surprising because this defense was built 815 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 7: on some one of a principle of athleticism. And it's 816 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 7: like guys get to the spot, but once they're there, 817 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 7: they realize that, oh, they have to take on a 818 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 7: block or have to scrape over the top of this 819 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 7: gap in order to reach the gap right, And it's 820 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 7: like they do maybe one good thing a play, but 821 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 7: they need to do three good things in each play, 822 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 7: and that's why they get bowled over in. 823 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 13: Their run fits. 824 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 7: And that's why they're chasing down guys for thirty yard games, 825 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 7: and it's why they're always late despite being quick, and it's like, 826 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 7: I don't know if they just don't know what they're 827 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 7: seeing in preparation from Monday to Saturday, or when they 828 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 7: go out onto the field, they're just physically outmatched. That's 829 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 7: just what it looked like on Sunday against the Bears 830 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 7: offensive lines that I had. 831 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 13: I had concerns about going. 832 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 7: Into this game because they rebuilt that entire interior group 833 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 7: and they can get out after it at the second 834 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 7: level and they can spread you out, and Ben Johnson 835 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 7: does a great job of scheming all that up. But 836 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,439 Speaker 7: it looks so much worse than I could have possibly managed, 837 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 7: because this team looks like they're just they just don't 838 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 7: have any confidence with them in their athleticism and that's 839 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 7: why they just it just looks so as bad as 840 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 7: it is, and it's just really hard to get over that. 841 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 4: I look at how bad it is and I wonder 842 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 4: how will it get better. I don't see it right 843 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,439 Speaker 4: now in Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter. I don't see 844 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 4: it with Shamar Stewart. There are questions about pretty much 845 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 4: all three of those guys when they were drafted by 846 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 4: the Bengals. You're now at the bye week, you get 847 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 4: the second half of the schedule. But when you look 848 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 4: at this defense from top to bottom, Miles Murphy is 849 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 4: not panning out. The secondary outside of probably DJ Turner 850 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 4: is not panning out. We'll talk about Trey Hendrickson in 851 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 4: just a moment. How many players currently make up this defense? John, 852 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 4: where you would go into next year saying, Man, that 853 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 4: guy has to be a part of the mix. 854 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 7: No one that has to be here necessarily, because no 855 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 7: one is playing up above where they were last year. 856 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 7: It feels like everyone has gotten a little bit worse 857 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 7: or they're basically staying the same. And that could be 858 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 7: a testament to what they saw that of these guys 859 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 7: last year when they weren't playing. And that's another conversation, right, 860 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 7: But it's like, in order for this defense to get 861 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 7: to where it was supposed to be, a lot of 862 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 7: these guys had to make a jump, not even like 863 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 7: a big jump, just a gradual progression. We're not even 864 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 7: really seeing that from Dax Sills, who I think has 865 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 7: basically been this same player that he was last year. 866 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 7: And you would like to see a little bit more 867 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 7: improvement out of him, but it really is hard to 868 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 7: go into anything with the cornerbacks right now. With the 869 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 7: way that the rest of the defense is playing, it 870 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 7: seems like the cornerbacks are like the lone bright spot 871 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 7: of this group because again Miles Murphy continues to have 872 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 7: a great get off, but can't disengage. He can't win 873 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 7: a rip move to save his life. You're not seeing 874 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 7: anything in terms of pass rushing juice again outside of 875 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 7: BJ Hill from your defensive tackles, and the linebacking play 876 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,479 Speaker 7: is just it's amongst the worst that I've ever seen. 877 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 7: It's definitely the worst in the NFL right now, but 878 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 7: it's amongst the worst that I've ever seen. And this 879 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 7: team has gone through some terrible linebacking play over the 880 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,959 Speaker 7: last two decades. So there is no real significant piece 881 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 7: of this defense right now outside of Tree Henderson that 882 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 7: you would want next year going forward, and maybe you 883 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 7: know DJ Turner obviously is now in that group as well, 884 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 7: but you would like to see him finish the year 885 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 7: strongly because it has been a problem with him for 886 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 7: his career as well. 887 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Trey Hendrickson Bengals decided not to move 888 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 3: him at the trade deadline. What did you make of 889 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 3: that move? And how do you expect this to play 890 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 3: out coming up into the next offseason where he's obviously 891 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 3: eligible for the tag and the price, How do you 892 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 3: expect this to work out with the Bengals and tray 893 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 3: another season of this. 894 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 7: It was just part for the course, really, when you 895 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 7: heard reports about how they were supposedly lowering their price 896 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 7: a little bit, and then the Quinn Williams trade happens, 897 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 7: like oh, there's first round picks being thrown out for 898 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 7: defensive line and okay, now we're back in the table 899 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 7: with our price. 900 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 13: And it's like, guys, this is. 901 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 7: Not this is You're comparing apples and oranges with these 902 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 7: two players, Like this is just elementary stuff. So it 903 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 7: wasn't too shocking to not see him be moved, but 904 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 7: it does continue to lens into the fact that after 905 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 7: this guy's best year of his career, the directionlessness and 906 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 7: the carelessness of which they've treated his future is beyond disgraceful, 907 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 7: and the fact that there's just no clear plan as 908 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 7: to what to do with him and how to treat him, 909 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 7: and just putting the bandit on his contract this year 910 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 7: was just it's all been bad. So it hasn't been 911 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 7: surprising to see him still be here despite the fact 912 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 7: that he probably shouldn't be here with the way. 913 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 13: That the season has gone down. 914 00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 7: But it does open the door, of course, for them 915 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 7: to as much power as possible in the situation, place 916 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 7: another franchise tag on him, making weight it out see 917 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,879 Speaker 7: if a team is desperate enough to give him a first 918 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 7: round pick for a guy who's now older and has 919 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 7: another injury on his raps sheet, which is not going 920 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 7: to increase his value at all. So the fact that 921 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 7: they didn't just get this over with is just beyond me. 922 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 7: But it's it's not shocking at all, I guess. 923 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 4: Not only to the points you just mentioned, John, but 924 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 4: what about just the off season for Zach Taylor or 925 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 4: whoever the head coaches of the Cincinnati Bengals, because it 926 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 4: just feels like that would become more of a distraction 927 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 4: again for this team. I thought, going into the offseason 928 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 4: you wanted to eliminate as many distractions as possible, and 929 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 4: then the Trey Hendrickson thing happened, Shamar Stewart thing happened. 930 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 4: Wouldn't that just be putting another burden of a distraction 931 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 4: on this team going forward. If you're going to play 932 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 4: the same song and dance with Trey Hendrickson. 933 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 7: It doesn't matter to them because the way that they 934 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 7: manage business from the front office level and from. 935 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 13: The coaching level is just so disjointed. 936 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 7: There's no clarity, there's no conciseness with what they want 937 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 7: to do from like a team wide vision standpoint. If 938 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 7: there was, then there would be clear to us to 939 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,839 Speaker 7: what to do with Trey Anderson and not leaving out 940 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 7: on limbo for several months this offseason until finally resolving 941 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 7: that a week before the regular season begins. It completely 942 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,719 Speaker 7: disrupts what you're trying to do from a coaching perspective, 943 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 7: because from a business side of things, you just want 944 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 7: to win. You don't want to do things in the 945 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 7: timely manner that helps out everybody within your organization. And 946 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 7: that continues to be the problem with this team. The 947 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 7: management side of things, they want to do things their way, 948 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 7: and then they force the coach to take these questions 949 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 7: from reporters because we can't talk to anybody in management 950 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 7: about this, and it's just like the coach is just 951 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 7: left sitting on his hands, like I don't know what 952 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 7: you want to do. Like Trey is here, like he 953 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 7: wants to play, he wants to practice, but he's got 954 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,359 Speaker 7: to handle his own stuff. And hopefully it doesn't happen 955 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 7: yet again next offseason. But until something clicks within the 956 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 7: front office, that's probably the most like the scenario. 957 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 4: A scenario that I don't know potentially could unfold, that 958 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 4: of Zach Taylor or that of Duke Tobin. Do you 959 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 4: envision a change for this organization at either head coach 960 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,399 Speaker 4: or the de facto GM. 961 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 7: It really has to come down to someone speaking up 962 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 7: inside that building, whether it's Mike Brown at the age 963 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,240 Speaker 7: of almost ninety years old, saying that we need to change, 964 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 7: or it comes from the quarterback and Joe Burrow, whatever, 965 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 7: whomever has the most power within that building has to 966 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:13,880 Speaker 7: do something. 967 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 13: Because I do think. 968 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 7: That while it's never really been a serious conversation about 969 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 7: a change in the quote unquote GM chair of that team, 970 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 7: despite the fact that there isn't actually a GM, this 971 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 7: is gonna be potentially the third year in a row 972 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 7: in which they don't make the playoffs. The last time 973 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 7: that happened was Marvin Lewis's final three years here as 974 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 7: head coach, and obviously significant changes followed that in twenty 975 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 7: nineteen with the hiring of Zach Taylor and really Duke 976 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 7: Tobin being at the face of that hiring as well. 977 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 7: Like these these two guys are basically paired together with 978 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 7: the last six seven years of this operation. So I 979 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 7: really do think that if this season goes down the 980 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 7: way that we all expected to do, which is them 981 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 7: not making the playoffs, then you could see something. But again, 982 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 7: something has to happen internally. Someone has to speak up 983 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 7: and put their foot down and say enough is enough. 984 00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 7: We got to change at least this part of it 985 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 7: so as possible. But it still He's been there for 986 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 7: almost thirty years, and I'll believe it when I see it. 987 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:08,320 Speaker 4: Offensively, I know for this team going forward, the offense 988 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 4: hasn't been a problem, and I know that there are 989 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 4: still percentage points out there that this team can make 990 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 4: a run and make the playoffs because of what the 991 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 4: AFC looks like. But knowing where this defense is and 992 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 4: knowing where this season is heading, especially with the next 993 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 4: five opponents, do you envision a scenario at all where 994 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow does take another snap for this team this year. 995 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 7: I really don't if at like you know, gun to 996 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 7: my head, I would say no because of just how 997 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 7: tough the next month is going to be and the 998 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,439 Speaker 7: fact that they could possibly be at something around five 999 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,040 Speaker 7: and eight, which is where they were last year, and 1000 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 7: then they can hold on to the fact that they 1001 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,720 Speaker 7: won the last four or five games the last season 1002 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 7: and have that be the basis of why this this 1003 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 7: is now still possible. But it really takes them winning 1004 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 7: as pretty significant underdogs despite you know, with the defense 1005 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 7: that they have, and if Burrow is at best looking 1006 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,080 Speaker 7: at mid December, at that point, you're probably still a 1007 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 7: couple of games under five. And I just don't think 1008 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 7: that that is the good scenario which you bring him 1009 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 7: back there. It's gonna take something very unlikely within the 1010 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 7: next month for I think all that tone to be 1011 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 7: changed and for him to be willing to actually do. Obviously, 1012 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 7: I think he wants to play, but there has to 1013 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 7: be also be something along along the lines of, Look, 1014 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 7: Joe Flacco is playing fine enough and this is probably 1015 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 7: not going to end the way that anybody wants to. 1016 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 7: So I just I would say that he's probably not 1017 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 7: going to play just because of how the last two 1018 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 7: weeks have gone down and how that impacts their chances 1019 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 7: of actually making this playoff push. 1020 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 4: I would envision that the asking price will be driven 1021 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 4: up based on his play on the field. But would 1022 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 4: you be making it at priority going forward into next 1023 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,879 Speaker 4: year to find a way to get Joe Flacco back 1024 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 4: on this roster, if nothing more than to be a 1025 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 4: backup and more of a mentor to Joe Burrow. Would 1026 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 4: you be making that one of your offseason priorities. 1027 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 6: Man, that's a good question. 1028 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 7: I feel like no one's really asked that yet, but 1029 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 7: it's definitely something I would consider at this point. I 1030 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 7: think it comes down to what he wants, and I 1031 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 7: think that he realizes that he's in the best possible 1032 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 7: situation for him at this point in his career because 1033 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 7: he's never dealt with an offense and he's never commanded 1034 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 7: an offense quite like this with this much firepower, and 1035 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,879 Speaker 7: I think he's very much enjoying it. And maybe there's 1036 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 7: also an awareness that, Yeah, for as great as Joe 1037 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 7: Burrow is, he does deal with some injuries from time 1038 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 7: to time, and that's always an opportunity for him to 1039 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 7: get some more playing time. 1040 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 13: But obviously there's going to be. 1041 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 7: At least a couple of bad teams that are watching 1042 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 7: what's happening in Cincinnati. Is probably going to make somewhat 1043 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 7: of a push for him, And he's probably going to 1044 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 7: be a little bit more expencive than your thinking, just 1045 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 7: because he comes with the pedigree winning a super Bowl 1046 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,760 Speaker 7: and is coming off of just this insane stretch of production. 1047 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 7: So I'm really interested to see how he finishes the season. Obviously, 1048 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 7: I'm not expecting four hundred yards and four touchdowns every 1049 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 7: single week, and if that happens, then maybe you are 1050 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 7: talking about a different outcome. 1051 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 13: For the season. 1052 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 7: But yeah, like if he wants to come back and 1053 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 7: be a backup, I would actually be on that, But 1054 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 7: I just don't think that's going to be his best option. 1055 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,360 Speaker 4: When you look at this team up front, Joe Flacco's 1056 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 4: ability to go under center, and they've unlocked a running 1057 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 4: game which in fact has helped the offensive line and 1058 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 4: the quick passing. At the bye week, looking at where 1059 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,839 Speaker 4: this team has been, how do you assess the old 1060 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:05,479 Speaker 4: line as a whole. 1061 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 7: The old line I think is playing well. It's not 1062 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 7: it's not going out of its mind. It's not significantly 1063 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 7: better than what it was in the best days of 1064 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 7: Joe Burrow, but I think it definitely benefits them to 1065 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 7: go under center and to balance it out with the 1066 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 7: wrung game. I think it's made their lives a little 1067 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 7: bit easier, and you are seeing it. Like again, like 1068 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 7: the numbers aren't drastically different necessarily, and especially because like 1069 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 7: Joe Flacco does get the ball out really quickly on average, 1070 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,919 Speaker 7: and when he is pressured, it doesn't look as good 1071 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 7: as when Joe Burrow is pressured, So there is some 1072 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 7: deception happening, I think with what people are seeing, But overall, 1073 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 7: the offensive line is playing fine. Like, if this is 1074 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 7: the outcome, if this is the result of this offseason 1075 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 7: where in which they didn't address the guard position properly 1076 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 7: and they made some lastings, which is, if this is 1077 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 7: where it is now based off of their process, I 1078 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 7: think you would take this result. 1079 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 13: It's not where it. 1080 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 7: Should be necessarily for a season long sustainability standpoint, but 1081 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 7: I think it's been okay and I think obviously it's 1082 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 7: not the biggest problem with the team at all. 1083 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 3: Sustainability is the question I look to going into the 1084 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 3: second half of the year. Obviously, what Joe Flacco has 1085 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 3: done has been amazing. Here comes a bye week, Here 1086 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 3: comes a little bit more time for teams to prepare 1087 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 3: with more film. Is the model in which they've been 1088 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 3: able to use over the last couple is that sustainable 1089 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 3: through the back end of the year, at least on 1090 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 3: the offensive side of the ball? 1091 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, Like again, forty two points is not the expectation 1092 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 7: every single week, and I think they've definitely take advantage 1093 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 7: of just I think the teams not necessarily knowing what 1094 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,879 Speaker 7: to expect with Flaco under center. But so long as 1095 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 7: he continues to make timely decisions and he continues to 1096 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 7: put the ball in the vicinity of his best receivers, 1097 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 7: I would expect that this offense remains at the very 1098 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 7: least competitive. 1099 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,239 Speaker 13: I don't envision a lot of. 1100 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 7: Stinkers necessarily, and obviously they cannot afford that with the 1101 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 7: way that this defense is playing. But it also could 1102 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,279 Speaker 7: come down to the point where the offense is doing 1103 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 7: everything in the power to try to keep up with 1104 00:55:58,880 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 7: what the defense is doing. 1105 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 13: Point that could reach somewhat of. 1106 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 7: A breaking point, right if you're thinking about it from 1107 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 7: a mental aspect, If you go into every week thinking 1108 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 7: that you need to score forty or fifty points to 1109 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 7: even have a chance at winning. Like, I can't imagine 1110 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 7: the toll that the takes on the guys on the 1111 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 7: offensive side of the ball and how that kind of 1112 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,359 Speaker 7: impacts their mental So it's not something that we can 1113 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,800 Speaker 7: really talk about or quantify necessarily, but it is something 1114 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 7: that I think about because of how disjointed that locker 1115 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 7: room probably is from one side of the other. 1116 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 3: John, before we let you go, I can't help it, 1117 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 3: but notice on your Twitter bio it says a versatile 1118 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 3: guy per Jeff Hobson. Can you explain that? Did Jeff 1119 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 3: Hobson once call you a versatile guy? 1120 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1121 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 13: I remember you guys. 1122 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 7: You guys talked about this after I came off the 1123 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 7: air at one point I meant to bring this up. 1124 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 7: But we had Jeff Hobson on for the Orange Blug 1125 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 7: Inside of Bengals podcast three years ago. It was the 1126 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 7: start of the twenty twenty two season. We were talking 1127 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,800 Speaker 7: about after they, you know, had that embarrassing loss to 1128 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 7: the Steelers, and you know, we were talking to Jeff 1129 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 7: and just a wonderful, nice old man. Yeah, and he 1130 00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 7: at the very end of the program like you know, John, 1131 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 7: like you you're a versatile guy. And I didn't hear 1132 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 7: anything he said after that because I was blushing because 1133 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 7: as a great compliment from. 1134 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 11: A great man. 1135 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 7: So immediately after that interview over, we thank Jeff and 1136 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 7: I edited my bio and it hasn't changed since its 1137 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 7: probably never gonna change. 1138 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 3: That's awesome. 1139 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 11: I love it. 1140 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 3: Jeff is the best. 1141 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 4: I love it John.

Let him know if you had 1254 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 3: if you had ears in a brain, you would hear that. 1255 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 3: I said, true road games on campus, road games. 1256 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 6: Tony Audi Bill in Westchester. 1257 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 23: Hey, I think the Phillies are going to keep Calis 1258 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 23: Forber anyway, So I hope they just sign him tonight 1259 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 23: and we don't have to go through a full off 1260 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 23: season of talking about that. 1261 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:18,960 Speaker 6: You know something that the. 1262 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 23: Cassolini's finding spending thirty million dollars on a guy, that's 1263 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 23: just silly and and honestly, I'm not sure i'd want 1264 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,240 Speaker 23: to see Kyle Forber have to go through a contract 1265 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 23: like that in Cincinnati, given how Joey Vada was treated, 1266 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 23: because that was just sad. 1267 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're seeing it with Joe Burrow right now. 1268 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 3: People have already turned their backs on Joe Burrow because 1269 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 3: they think he makes too much money. And you know, 1270 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 3: just because Flacco has been good that that means Joe 1271 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 3: Burrow is not. Do you view this an asinine way 1272 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 3: of thinking? Do you view the UC opener as a 1273 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 3: neutral site game the loss of Nebraska? Uh? Yeah, okay, 1274 01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 3: that's fine. I was just wondering, and again that's their fault. 1275 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 3: UC needed the money, so they took the money. Sure, 1276 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 3: much like the good folks tweeting out about Solitaire. 1277 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 26: The Reds Hall of Fame potential inductees. To me, it 1278 01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 26: seems like the bars said a little low. I mean, 1279 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 26: some of them really didn't jump off the page. I'd 1280 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,479 Speaker 26: put Mike Leak in the shoplifting Hall of. 1281 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 5: Fame with Renona ryder. 1282 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 3: Man. I think maybe an exercis how about why NOA 1283 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 3: getting a shot out of like a series of like 1284 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 3: somebody goes back to those incidents to find out what 1285 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 3: really happened, because that's all blurry to me. The Mike 1286 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 3: Leak stealing T shirts from Macy's. Macy's is gone now right. 1287 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1288 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 20: So you said if Joe Flacco could help Joe Burrow, 1289 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:09,440 Speaker 20: and I say one thousand percent. The reason Joe Burrow 1290 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 20: keeps getting injured sometimes is he tries to extend plays 1291 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 20: and then he gets creamed. One thing I've noticed with 1292 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 20: Joe Flacco is when he sees a dangerous situation, he 1293 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,320 Speaker 20: just throws it out of bounds and just live to 1294 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 20: fight another day. 1295 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 4: One of the craziest things in going back and looking 1296 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 4: at the Mike League thing. He was arrested on a 1297 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 4: shoplifting charge where he was accused of stealing six shirts, 1298 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 4: which the total value was sixty dollars. Yeah, that that 1299 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,760 Speaker 4: never made sense to me six for ten, sixty bucks Man 1300 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 4: sixty bucks. 1301 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 3: I there's another thing. There's a narrative out there that 1302 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow gets hurt because he extends plays. That's not true. Yeah, 1303 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 3: the knee injury in twenty twenty, he stood in the 1304 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,720 Speaker 3: pocket and delivered a ball on time, but got blown 1305 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 3: up by Michael Jordan. The wrist injury happened because he 1306 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 3: landed on it. Weird yep, the turf toe. As we outlined, 1307 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase didn't win one on one and the pocket 1308 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 3: collapsed on Joe Burrow. Now that one, you could probably 1309 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 3: say he could have gotten rid of it. But even then, 1310 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,440 Speaker 3: the appendectomy had nothing to do with extending plays. The 1311 01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 3: calf injury, he was at practice and rolling out. They 1312 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,880 Speaker 3: don't get hit in practice, so you start working on 1313 01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 3: broken down plays correct. So it's one of the worst 1314 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 3: narratives around. I do think Joe Flacco will just ditch 1315 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 3: a ball and get rid of it, and the reason 1316 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 3: for that is because he can't move and he knows 1317 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,560 Speaker 3: he'll get crushed. Burrow does have the ability to extend 1318 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 3: plays and off schedule is among the best in the NFL. 1319 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 3: He doesn't get hurt because he extends plays. That's not true. 1320 01:06:58,760 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 11: My apologies. 1321 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 6: If this is a duplic. 1322 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 3: Yep, it's duplicate. 1323 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,760 Speaker 27: TP fifteen Audie v in WG. Hey, I was listening 1324 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 27: to your Bicell hold earlier about Kyle Schwerber. 1325 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 6: He's from Middletown. 1326 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 27: Y'all know that I'm from Middletown. I don't know Kyle, 1327 01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 27: but I I really know people that know him. Dude, 1328 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,120 Speaker 27: he's already worth over one hundred million dollars. If he's 1329 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,160 Speaker 27: I know he's managed it well. It's not about the money, man, 1330 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 27: I would not be surprised if he takes a hometown discount. 1331 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 11: If the Reds are willing up the budget. 1332 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 3: I wish he did. I just don't see him doing 1333 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 3: it now. He's gonna be here in a couple of 1334 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 3: weeks for an event in Middletown. Don't let him leave. 1335 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 3: Do you think he would take a meeting with the Reds? 1336 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 3: Don't let him leave. They should a meeting. They should, 1337 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,960 Speaker 3: at the at the very least, say Kyle, you're here, 1338 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 3: we're here, let's talk. Just see where we're at. 1339 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 13: Sure, good afternoon, guys. 1340 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 28: He's talking about how bad the Bengals tackling is if 1341 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 28: the Bengals tackling was as bad as it is, would 1342 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 28: they win the National Championship by tackling against like another 1343 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 28: team in the NFL? 1344 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 6: Or would they be. 1345 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:16,800 Speaker 28: Competing against themselves and somehow tie. Also, I think with 1346 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 28: p Ryan hurt, Chase Brown's numbers go down. 1347 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 3: Thanks who broke my brain with that? I don't know 1348 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 3: if I. 1349 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 4: Don't even know what that just was. Can they win 1350 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:30,920 Speaker 4: the super Bowl of mistackling? 1351 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 3: Sure? I think there was a super. 1352 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 4: Bowl of misstack. I mean that Madison. I am now 1353 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 4: dumber then I was going into the day. 1354 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 28: Hey, another thing about Joe Flacco, I think if he 1355 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,719 Speaker 28: did stay with the Bengals, maybe Joe Burrow would learn 1356 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,719 Speaker 28: who he thinks about throwing the ball away a little 1357 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 28: quicker so he doesn't get hurt. 1358 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 3: That might end up saving. 1359 01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,479 Speaker 28: The Bengals money in the long run, because Burrow gets hurt. 1360 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,599 Speaker 28: He learned a few things from lack of he could 1361 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,799 Speaker 28: stay healthy all year. 1362 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 29: Chow okay okay okay, Tony and Austin Ray from please 1363 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 29: question And I'm really not being smart like when I 1364 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,679 Speaker 29: asked this, I really don't know with this tackling problem 1365 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 29: on the Bengals and it's more than just a couple, guys. 1366 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 16: I think we had what three or four of the 1367 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:33,240 Speaker 16: top nine mistackles in the league. Is it really bad 1368 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:37,320 Speaker 16: coaching or is it possible that they're just afraid to tackle. 1369 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 3: I don't think they're afraid to take one of the two, 1370 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 3: doesn't it I just think they are poor in space. 1371 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,760 Speaker 3: I think they take bad angles. I think they have 1372 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 3: bad fundamentals. I don't think that they're often in the 1373 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,360 Speaker 3: right spot. So you could say coaching has something to 1374 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,120 Speaker 3: do with that. I don't think it's a lack of willingness. 1375 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 3: I don't think it's a lack of trying. I think 1376 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 3: good mornings, lack of skill. 1377 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:05,599 Speaker 22: Hey, the Turbo Tony in Austin heard you guys talking 1378 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 22: about Joe Burrow potentially coming back this year, and just 1379 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 22: have to wonder does that jeopardize his chances of becoming 1380 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,800 Speaker 22: the first three time come back play of the year 1381 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 22: next year. 1382 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 3: Oh, we didn't discuss that. I hope that happens. I 1383 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 3: hope that he wins it again next year because that 1384 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 3: would mean he balls out. Yep, But I for his 1385 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 3: sake having to be up there on that stage again, please, 1386 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 3: oh please. 1387 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 9: No, guys, Jonathan from the East Gate. You know, I 1388 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 9: had a lot of fun at the game. It was 1389 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 9: an interesting one, especially being a Bears fan. But I 1390 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 9: will say that hit on Lovelin for that touchdown. How 1391 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,559 Speaker 9: many people do you know that could take that hit 1392 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,080 Speaker 9: and then keep trucking. That guy is a beast and 1393 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 9: he's gonna be going a long way in the NFL. 1394 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,719 Speaker 9: Dub Bears just for going. 1395 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,840 Speaker 3: He may become a very good player. But that was 1396 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,639 Speaker 3: a very poor tackling it six six and Jordan Battle 1397 01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 3: gave him everything he had. Yep, didn't stand a chance. 1398 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:16,720 Speaker 3: It's like just running full speed into a brick wall. Foolish. 1399 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,479 Speaker 23: The top three Lamoine University alternate. 1400 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,640 Speaker 3: Nick name and mascot Oh, okay. 1401 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 6: Number three the Lemoine. 1402 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 3: Lemon, oh, you know like the Syracuse Orange right. 1403 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 13: Number two the Lemoine Leap and Lemurs damn. 1404 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 23: And the number one alternate nickname and mascot for Leamoyne 1405 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 23: University is. 1406 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 6: It's an overly amorous. 1407 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,560 Speaker 15: Skunk, the Lemoine lip. 1408 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 3: Hughes, I'm the Leap and Lemurs.

That 1413 01:11:58,520 --> 01:11:59,120 Speaker 3: was my thought. 1414 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:05,680 Speaker 11: By County Snack.

And that's 1451 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 18: where the Battles would consider re signing a forty one 1452 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 18: year old Joe Flacco. If we're interested in take crownings 1453 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,600 Speaker 18: in the contract year and everybody loves Joe and the 1454 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 18: job he's done.

It's hard to have a conversation. You gotta 1458 01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 4: start using flac Ewen Burrow. I think we call him flak.

There's something to that, but bum bum. 1483 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 11: I'm with you, guys. 1484 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 6: The only person on that Reds Hall of Fame list 1485 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,200 Speaker 6: that deserves to be in. There is Jay Cargill's husband too. 1486 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. I see Cargill. I like that. 1487 01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 3: I see his posts all the time too, Like he 1488 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 3: is a super fan of her, Like he's the best. Hey, guys, 1489 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:49,759 Speaker 3: markers from the grove. 1490 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,680 Speaker 6: Obviously, Phillips is out of doubt, and. 1491 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,720 Speaker 33: But to be honest, though, Coco Cordero is second in 1492 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 33: team history and career save with one hundred and fifty. 1493 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 33: He's got a strong case in my opinion, to be 1494 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 33: in the Reds Hall Fame as well. 1495 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,840 Speaker 3: That's a sneaky good stat from Marcus right there. I 1496 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:12,719 Speaker 3: just I guess I didn't realize how many he had. 1497 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 3: But I remember Marty Brennaman calling him full pack Cordero 1498 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:20,880 Speaker 3: towards the end because watching him pitch made you want 1499 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:28,000 Speaker 3: to smoke a full pack. Oh god, that's our last one, 1500 01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:33,960 Speaker 3: you know, full pack? Can I make one other? This whole? 1501 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:38,640 Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarber saying, why is it even a thing when 1502 01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 4: the Reds themselves don't value home runs? 1503 01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said earlier this year he could offer to 1504 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 3: play for free and they'd say no, thank you, because 1505 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:47,679 Speaker 3: they don't want to hit all the. 1506 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,559 Speaker 4: Reds core values as we talked about much of this year, 1507 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,840 Speaker 4: as they don't value home runs, so you want to 1508 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 4: bring in a guy that just hit a ton of them? 1509 01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 4: Makes no sense. Some things they just don't make sense. 1510 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:02,720 Speaker 4: We got a football in the NATTI. I don't know 1511 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 4: what type of football we're going to talk about, but 1512 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 4: we're going to talk about football when we come back. Also, 1513 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,840 Speaker 4: your phone calls five, one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty. 1514 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 4: We got a small window to get your phone calls 1515 01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 4: in because in our number three we've got Keegan nickoson, 1516 01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 4: Bob manjeen and I'm assuming Chad Brendel will stop. Buy 1517 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,439 Speaker 4: for quick hits at Sincy three sixty the Thursday edition 1518 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 4: on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station if you're fifty 1519 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:26,640 Speaker 4: five or Natty. 1520 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:31,400 Speaker 1: Brought to you by Bud Light on ESPN fifteen thirty, 1521 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,720 Speaker 1: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 1522 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, Cincy three to sixty. You heard 1523 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 4: it right there, Football in the NATI thanks to Cincy shirts. 1524 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 4: Let's take a look here at the NFL as a whole, 1525 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 4: going into the bye week for the Cincinnati Bengals. Let's 1526 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 4: start in the NFC here Austin right now. If the 1527 01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:54,720 Speaker 4: playoffs were to start today, Eagles, Tampa, Seahawks, Packers are 1528 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,480 Speaker 4: your top four. Your wild card teams will be comprised 1529 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 4: of the Rams, the Niners, and the Lions. That means 1530 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 4: the Bears, the Panthers, Vikings, Cowboys, Cardinals and others are 1531 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 4: on the outside looking at. My question to you, is 1532 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,600 Speaker 4: there any current team in the NFC on the outside 1533 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 4: looking in that will take the place of one of 1534 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 4: the current seven top seeds. I think Philly, Tampa, Seattle, 1535 01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 4: Green Bay, Los Angeles, and Detroit are locked to me 1536 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,439 Speaker 4: the one team based on just the amount of injuries 1537 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,960 Speaker 4: they have, and I know coaching plays a big role 1538 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 4: in where they're at. I don't know if the San 1539 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,599 Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine ers can hold on, but I'm also 1540 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 4: having a hard time deciding if San fran is out, 1541 01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,719 Speaker 4: which of the remaining NFC teams take San Francisco spot. 1542 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 4: Atlanta's three and five, Washington's three and six, Washington's going 1543 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 4: in the wrong direction, Arizona three and five Cowboys did 1544 01:18:58,120 --> 01:18:59,680 Speaker 4: just make a bunch of moves, but they're still three 1545 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,519 Speaker 4: and five. How do you view the NFC from a 1546 01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 4: playoff point of view. 1547 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:07,840 Speaker 3: I'm intrigued by Carolina, and I'm intrigued by Dallas now 1548 01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 3: that they've made a couple of moves, and obviously the 1549 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 3: tragedy this morning. Who knows what kind of effect that's 1550 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,479 Speaker 3: going to end up having on the Cowboys. But I 1551 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 3: trust Kyle Shanahan and the forty nine Ers to figure 1552 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:23,120 Speaker 3: it out more than I do the Bears, the Panthers, 1553 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 3: the vikings of the Cowboys, those first four teams out. 1554 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,960 Speaker 3: I trust the Niners to kind of figure it out 1555 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 3: and stay afloat. Same with Detroit. So I think the 1556 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:33,840 Speaker 3: seven that are in right now are the seven that 1557 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:35,000 Speaker 3: are going to be there in January. 1558 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 4: Okay, same question, but let's do the AFC version. Colts 1559 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 4: are the one, Patriots are the two, Broncos the three, 1560 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 4: and the Steelers are the four. Your wild card would 1561 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:53,639 Speaker 4: consist of Buffalo, Los Angeles and Jacksonville, Kansas City outside 1562 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 4: looking in, Houston outside looking in, the Baltimore Ravens, and yes, 1563 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals outside looking in. Same question for the AFC, Austin, 1564 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 4: of those seven teams, who's left standing at the end 1565 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:07,639 Speaker 4: of the year. 1566 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,120 Speaker 3: I thought I would see more from my Jags by now. 1567 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,680 Speaker 3: I don't love what I've seen from them lately. I 1568 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 3: wonder if the Chargers can hold on without Joe Alts 1569 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 3: so many injuries. It's a much different team without Joe 1570 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,519 Speaker 3: alt Now that he's done for the year. Can they 1571 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,759 Speaker 3: be as effective running the football? Can they protect Justin Herbert. 1572 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 3: I don't believe in Houston at all, especially with CJ. 1573 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 3: Stroud going to be out for a while. So I'm 1574 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 3: going to say Kansas City gets in and then I 1575 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 3: think that final spot is going to be really interesting 1576 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 3: between the Chargers, the Jags, and the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, 1577 01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 3: Baltimore got a little bit better at the deadline, They've 1578 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:52,439 Speaker 3: improved their defense slightly. They've got games against Minnesota, whose 1579 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,960 Speaker 3: offense stinks, Cleveland, whose offense stinks, the Jets, who have 1580 01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:00,680 Speaker 3: no players left, the Bengals twice. I think they can 1581 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 3: find their way back into the playoff. 1582 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,120 Speaker 4: I think this is an important week for Baltimore because 1583 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 4: Minnesota is coming off a good win against Detroit. If 1584 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,680 Speaker 4: they get over the hurdle in against Minnesota, I think 1585 01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 4: the Ravens are So you're saying that Kansas City will 1586 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:17,439 Speaker 4: will take a spot from Jacksonville and your final spot 1587 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 4: comes down to the Chargers, Jags, and Ravens. Yes, you 1588 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,760 Speaker 4: say you think Pittsburgh has stay in power. Yeah, I 1589 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,439 Speaker 4: think at five and three, I think Pittsburgh's good enough 1590 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 4: to just yeah, to be right there. I don't know 1591 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 4: that anyone's gonna challenge them for the division. I think 1592 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 4: they're good enough as well. Like I think this Sunday 1593 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,880 Speaker 4: Night is phenomenal with them in the Chargers, I think 1594 01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 4: it's gonna be a good match. But outside of that, 1595 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 4: Pittsburgh has the Bengals again, they have the Bears, the Dolphins, 1596 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 4: and the Browns. Now they do still play the Bills, 1597 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 4: the Ravens and the Detroit Lions. I'm not I'm not 1598 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 4: sold yet that Pittsburgh is in. To me, India is in, 1599 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,639 Speaker 4: New England is and Denver is in, Buffalo is in. 1600 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,080 Speaker 4: I'm not there yet on Pittsburgh. I'm not there yet 1601 01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 4: on Jacksonville. And to your point, I love Harball. I 1602 01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 4: love what Harball has built in the Chargers. I think 1603 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,919 Speaker 4: Herbert is fantastic. I like that they've revamped the wide receivers. 1604 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:22,760 Speaker 4: But Marion Hampton is still out. He's been on the 1605 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 4: IR for quite some time. They lost Slater, they lost all. 1606 01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 4: I just wonder how much you can withstand losing on 1607 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,960 Speaker 4: one side of the ball and still consistently be there 1608 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 4: at the end. I think Baltimore eventually gets one of 1609 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 4: the spots. I think Kansas City gets one of the spots. 1610 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,120 Speaker 4: But I think the Chargers stay in. I think Pittsburgh 1611 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 4: falls out, and I think the Jaguars fall out. So 1612 01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,640 Speaker 4: there you go a little bit of a view of 1613 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:50,800 Speaker 4: where the NFL is at the bye week. We'll take 1614 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,599 Speaker 4: a break, we'll come back, we'll finish up hour two 1615 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 4: next and then Keigan Nickoson stands by to join us 1616 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 4: in our number three on ESPN fifteen to thirty Cincinnati 1617 01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 4: Sports Station. 1618 01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:02,679 Speaker 1: You've been listening to football in the NATI on ESPN 1619 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:15,480 Speaker 1: fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals, fifteen thirty. 1620 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 4: Welcome back, it is since he three to sixty ESPN 1621 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 4: fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. The second half, Yes, the 1622 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,839 Speaker 4: second half of the NFL season officially gets underway tonight. 1623 01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 3: That's tough. The Raiders already and the Broncos already. Denver 1624 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,839 Speaker 3: is an eight and a half point favorite tonight against 1625 01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 3: the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. Disappointing season from the Raiders. 1626 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,719 Speaker 3: I was on kind of on your line of thinking. 1627 01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 3: I thought that the Raiders were going to take a 1628 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 3: big step forward. I thought there were going to be 1629 01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,000 Speaker 3: in a good spot. That has not been the case 1630 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 3: in year one under Pete Carroll. We have time for 1631 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 3: at least a phone call here before we get to 1632 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,680 Speaker 3: Keegan Nickoson. Robert is calling in. 1633 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 6: Hello, Robert, Hey, guys, how are you? Thank you? 1634 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 31: I just got a couple, yes, sir, I got a 1635 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 31: couple of quick football Bengals questions. One is, is there 1636 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:29,360 Speaker 31: any chance that in part our tackling problems might have 1637 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:32,600 Speaker 31: to do with, you know, giying for a turnover to 1638 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 31: you know, to separate them from the ball with the 1639 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 31: just the hits and not wrapping up. So that'd be 1640 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:44,680 Speaker 31: my first question. And then my second one is do 1641 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,720 Speaker 31: we still feel like there's any chance at all that 1642 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:49,840 Speaker 31: we can win a Super Bowl with Zach Taylor as 1643 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:51,719 Speaker 31: the head coach? And that's all I got. 1644 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 3: Robert, thank you for the call, man. I would say 1645 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,439 Speaker 3: that's fair to criticize going after the ball a little 1646 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,839 Speaker 3: bit too much. I think we've seen that at times, 1647 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 3: going straight for the punch going straight for the strip 1648 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 3: and then a guy carries you four more yards. We've 1649 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:07,719 Speaker 3: seen that. 1650 01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,680 Speaker 4: That happens, but normally teams that are trying to do 1651 01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 4: that are teams that need a spark on offense. You 1652 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,679 Speaker 4: would think with this Bengals team, just bring the ball, 1653 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:15,439 Speaker 4: carry to the ground. 1654 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 3: I think they just want to go run and celebrate 1655 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 3: in the end zone and go yeah, yep, I think 1656 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 3: that's fair. 1657 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 4: I would hope that you sit back during the bye 1658 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:24,800 Speaker 4: week and maybe try to cut down on that because 1659 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 4: it's clearly not working. Can this team win a Super 1660 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 4: Bowl with Zach Taylor as a head coach? Yes, I would. 1661 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 4: I would base my decision with the contingency that that 1662 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 4: Duke Tobin would no longer be in place, because I 1663 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 4: don't think it's currently constructed with that with those two 1664 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:44,679 Speaker 4: working together. 1665 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 3: I just don't think. I don't view the scheme as fitting. 1666 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor went to the Super Bowl together, Yeah, 1667 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 3: it was under it was under Joe Burrow's rookie deal. Yeah, 1668 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:54,960 Speaker 3: I don't. 1669 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 4: I don't trust them building a roster via the draft 1670 01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,080 Speaker 4: and free agency to compete for a Super Bowl. If 1671 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,240 Speaker 4: Duke Tobin is is working alongside Zach Taylor, because I've 1672 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 4: asked for years that it doesn't feel like the scheme 1673 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:10,360 Speaker 4: matches the personnel and look as much credit as they 1674 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 4: deserve for getting there, it's easier to get there when 1675 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,800 Speaker 4: your quarterback's on a rookie deal. And I'm not even 1676 01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,320 Speaker 4: saying this is directed at Zach Taylor. This to me 1677 01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 4: is more of a duked opein thing. I don't know 1678 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 4: that they can do that if they've got to build 1679 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 4: a roster when you're already paying Joe Burrow and Jamar 1680 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 4: Chase and t Higgins the money you are, that's kind 1681 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 4: of where I would sit with it. 1682 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't necessarily agree with that. I mean, 1683 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,720 Speaker 3: I think they still have look at this roster right now. 1684 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,160 Speaker 3: How can you say that this space left. They had 1685 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 3: kind of space last and they screwed it up with 1686 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 3: the Trey Henderson thing and waited and waited and waited. 1687 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 3: They screwed up the Jamar Chase thing and waited and 1688 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,280 Speaker 3: waited and waited and cost some more money. So I'm 1689 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,880 Speaker 3: not saying that your point is wrong, but I'm not 1690 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 3: going to sit here and say that they haven't shown 1691 01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,720 Speaker 3: the ability to in the past adequate build a good 1692 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 3: enough roster. So I can have they done so since 1693 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 3: borrow has been paid. No, but that's not to say 1694 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 3: that they can't. What would give you a confidence They 1695 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 3: have seventy million dollars in cap space next year and 1696 01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,960 Speaker 3: the same person would be making the decisions that I 1697 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 3: agree with that, But that's the same person who also 1698 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 3: built that roster previously through free agency and through the draft. 1699 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,599 Speaker 3: And so if you can switch back to something similar 1700 01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 3: to that, then can you build that roster in a 1701 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 3: similar way through free agency and through the draft. Now 1702 01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,439 Speaker 3: I get where you're coming from, and I'm not to 1703 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,599 Speaker 3: say that you're wrong. I just see like there's still 1704 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 3: a possibility for them to do it in a way 1705 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,559 Speaker 3: that they've done it before. Because I think one of 1706 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,599 Speaker 3: the most overblown narratives in the NFL is that you 1707 01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 3: can't the Super Bowl after you pay a quarterback. Philadelphia 1708 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 3: and Kansas City, San Francisco, like the Rams Tampa, it's 1709 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 3: it's happened, and I think but I think that they 1710 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,599 Speaker 3: are there is a significant difference and who's putting together 1711 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,840 Speaker 3: those rosters compared to what the roster wield is here. 1712 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 3: I agree with that, I seen them. They signed Trey 1713 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 3: Hendrickson originally out of free agency, the best acquisition in 1714 01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 3: the history of this franchise. From free agency. They traded 1715 01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 3: Billy Price for bj Hill, the best trade in the 1716 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,240 Speaker 3: history of this franchise. Those things have happened in recent years, 1717 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 3: So there is something there that you can tap into. 1718 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,880 Speaker 3: Some experience hasn't worked out the last couple of years. 1719 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 3: They've scaped goaded defensive coordinators, they've scaped goaded safeties. I 1720 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 3: understand where you're coming from, but I'm not going to 1721 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 3: just sit here and pretend like it's been a failure 1722 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 3: from the from the very beginning with these these guys, 1723 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 3: I don't think that's true. 1724 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 4: I think that since Borrow has been paid, it has 1725 01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:04,800 Speaker 4: been a failure. And I don't and I don't categorize 1726 01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,799 Speaker 4: them in the same sense as the Rams in Tampa 1727 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,760 Speaker 4: and those teams that are competing, because those teams historically, 1728 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,719 Speaker 4: year in and year out, built a competitive roster. 1729 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you, but I mean again, the Bengals 1730 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 3: haven't had a losing season since that twenty twenty year 1731 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 3: right when Burrow first got here. They had a run 1732 01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 3: of playoff appearances twenty eleven through twenty sixteen. They rebuilt 1733 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 3: it with Marvin twenty years ago when Duke was still 1734 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,560 Speaker 3: relatively new on the job. They have had some experience 1735 01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:43,160 Speaker 3: in starting over and helping and making it work. So 1736 01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,479 Speaker 3: I just I don't think it's it's out of the 1737 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:52,360 Speaker 3: question to think they can do it again. Now. It's 1738 01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 3: also fair to look at it and say, the last 1739 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 3: three times the Bengals have paid a franchise quarterback, what 1740 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 3: have they done since they screwed it up with Carson? 1741 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 3: They didn't do much with Andy, and we're in this 1742 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 3: current boat with Burrow. And that's totally fair. I understand that, 1743 01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:10,400 Speaker 3: and that's in my mind the biggest rebuttal anyone could 1744 01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,720 Speaker 3: could have. To my point, but I just look at 1745 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 3: seventy million dollars in today's NFL and with a top 1746 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 3: three quarterback, I can't say it's impossible. Yeah, Keegan Nickoson 1747 01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 3: is probably waiting already for us. We'll talk to my 1748 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 3: favorite Nickoson. Okay, we disagree on that as well. We'll 1749 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 3: talk to Kegan next.

Bomb did what did you sign? 1769 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 11: I think? 1770 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 34: I think the interesting thing is is that Tony just 1771 01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,479 Speaker 34: assumed that I took the name plate out of the 1772 01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,639 Speaker 34: press box in Utah, and he would be completely right 1773 01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,959 Speaker 34: that I did, so I can't blame them there. 1774 01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 4: You have a every when you go on the road Austin, 1775 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:05,840 Speaker 4: they have like a little paper nameplate with where you're 1776 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,080 Speaker 4: supposed to sit from a media standpoint, And I found 1777 01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 4: Keegan's nameplate and I signed Keegan my second favorite nickoson 1778 01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:14,840 Speaker 4: Tony Pike Hall of Fame twenty twenty five. 1779 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,160 Speaker 3: Oh so you did it yourself? Yeah, okay, again the 1780 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 3: ego on this guy. Everything, everything's gonna have Tony's name 1781 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 3: on it these days. Uh, Keegan? 1782 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 4: What do What do the Bearcats need to do on 1783 01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:28,639 Speaker 4: the football side of things coming out of this by 1784 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:30,400 Speaker 4: to get back on track to where they were? 1785 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:34,320 Speaker 11: Oh, that's a good question. 1786 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:38,439 Speaker 34: I think they just need to play their brand of football, 1787 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:43,040 Speaker 34: and I think winning maybe a gutsy or a the 1788 01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,400 Speaker 34: game might help them a little bit because kind of 1789 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,360 Speaker 34: the few weeks heading up to the Utah game, and 1790 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 34: we talked about it before, like they kind of played 1791 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 34: perfectly and we we were sitting there thinking about how 1792 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,639 Speaker 34: they pulled this one out, and we looked at each 1793 01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,200 Speaker 34: other and we're like, we might have a stinker coming 1794 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 34: from U. See, I'd be really interested to see what 1795 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 34: they look like, and that's what we got. But I 1796 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 34: just think play their brand of football. Get back to 1797 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 34: the receivers, not going against really good dbs, not playing 1798 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,599 Speaker 34: against one of the best defensive lines in the Big twelve, 1799 01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,559 Speaker 34: and maybe they can light someone up, but they need 1800 01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,479 Speaker 34: to get their slider backed a little bit because they 1801 01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:27,599 Speaker 34: got exposed. And they're still in total control of what 1802 01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:29,320 Speaker 34: they want to do, which is good at Dallas for 1803 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:30,719 Speaker 34: a big Teal championship and. 1804 01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:32,720 Speaker 5: They can absolutely went out. 1805 01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,680 Speaker 4: When we talked before the game, it was you got 1806 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,479 Speaker 4: to avoid the things that you've done so well all year. 1807 01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,200 Speaker 4: You can't have those creep in and next thing you know, 1808 01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 4: they miss a field goal. Russ Neck have been perfect 1809 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,400 Speaker 4: all year. They had not turn the ball over inside 1810 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,720 Speaker 4: the twenty Swersby fumbles it, there's another interception. Sworsby has 1811 01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 4: been so good at not throwing interceptions. There's a punt 1812 01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 4: return for a touchdown. It was just a comedy of airs. 1813 01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 4: Do you worry at all about this team who last 1814 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,280 Speaker 4: year was at five and two when things kind of 1815 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,000 Speaker 4: fell apart after a bad loss the rest of the way. 1816 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:09,680 Speaker 4: Do you like the makeup better of this team that 1817 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:11,800 Speaker 4: they can come together after a buy and get things 1818 01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,120 Speaker 4: back on track, or do you worry about the hangover 1819 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 4: effect here. 1820 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:17,879 Speaker 11: I like the makeup. 1821 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,960 Speaker 34: I like the leadership that they have and the determination 1822 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 34: that this team shows. 1823 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 6: I think they're really really tight. 1824 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,720 Speaker 34: Got to see practice on Tuesday Wednesday, and everyone was 1825 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:28,639 Speaker 34: in high spirits. 1826 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:29,679 Speaker 11: They were all having fun. 1827 01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:31,759 Speaker 6: It wasn't like a doom and gloom. 1828 01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 34: No one was that angry of you know, we got 1829 01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:36,000 Speaker 34: to figure this out and there's a ton of pressure 1830 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 34: on them. 1831 01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,639 Speaker 6: I think this team loves playing football together. 1832 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:44,000 Speaker 34: And you know, you were listing all those things about 1833 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 34: you know, special teams have been really good and then 1834 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:47,559 Speaker 34: it's just really bad. 1835 01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 6: But even from the first play of. 1836 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:51,200 Speaker 34: The game, when you have that balladded down as the 1837 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 34: lightest scrimmage, it's like, oh crap, that hasn't happened and 1838 01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:55,479 Speaker 34: what feels like two years. 1839 01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:59,200 Speaker 11: So yeah, it was. It was a comedy of theirs. 1840 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,400 Speaker 34: And it was kind of the opposite of the kind 1841 01:35:01,400 --> 01:35:03,519 Speaker 34: of football that that UC's played. 1842 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,960 Speaker 6: And I think that can maybe they can see it as. 1843 01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,520 Speaker 34: A fluke, Maybe they can go forward with the confidence 1844 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 34: of you know, that's that's not the team we are. 1845 01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,599 Speaker 34: Most teams have those kind of games in a given season. 1846 01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 34: Look at Alabama, I mean they're I think. 1847 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 6: Number four number four or. 1848 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,640 Speaker 34: Five, and they got blown out at Florida State to 1849 01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:28,960 Speaker 34: surcus season. So one game is not a team's identity, 1850 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 34: and I think that this team. 1851 01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,040 Speaker 11: Knows how good they are. 1852 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,160 Speaker 34: I also think that they know they have all the 1853 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 34: pieces to be great and it's time to take advantage 1854 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:38,320 Speaker 34: of it. 1855 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 5: Now. 1856 01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:44,000 Speaker 4: You mentioned going forward, the path to Dallas is very simple. 1857 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,120 Speaker 4: It's win out. You're not relying on what anyone else 1858 01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,639 Speaker 4: is doing. You're not relying on someone else having to lose. 1859 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:51,960 Speaker 4: Is that correct? If they if this team wins out, 1860 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,360 Speaker 4: they're going to play in Dallas for a Big Twelve title. 1861 01:35:56,200 --> 01:36:00,400 Speaker 34: Yes, because Texas Tech and b YU can't all have 1862 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:02,360 Speaker 34: one loss at the end of the season and be 1863 01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:04,160 Speaker 34: tied with Cincinnati. 1864 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:06,400 Speaker 6: So if if BYU. 1865 01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 34: Beats Texas Tech, Texas Tech has two losses in the 1866 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,960 Speaker 34: Big Twelve. If Texas Tech beats the YU and then 1867 01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:15,879 Speaker 34: you see beats b YU, b YU has two losses, 1868 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:18,280 Speaker 34: shout out to our intern Austin Bats, who kind of 1869 01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:20,599 Speaker 34: broke that down for me. I'm good with words, I'm 1870 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 34: not good with the mats. 1871 01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,760 Speaker 6: And like all the all the formulas and stuff that 1872 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 6: you have to figure out. 1873 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:26,600 Speaker 11: But Austin did a great job with that. 1874 01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:30,920 Speaker 25: So yeah, if they went out, they will only have 1875 01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 25: one Big Twelve loss and they will be going to 1876 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,200 Speaker 25: Dallas the rest of the season and the rest of 1877 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 25: the Big Twelve schedule for the entire conference will dictate 1878 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 25: who they play. 1879 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:44,040 Speaker 34: And it's freaking like Texas Tech or b YU is 1880 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:44,920 Speaker 34: the most likely option. 1881 01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:46,000 Speaker 11: But I don't, you. 1882 01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:49,000 Speaker 34: Know, maybe you talk and get something done and get 1883 01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:49,400 Speaker 34: some help. 1884 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,759 Speaker 4: Since the last time we spoke, the college basketball season 1885 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 4: has gotten underway.

Bucket 1968 01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,439 Speaker 4: the ball feels like it gets stuck at times or stagnant. 1969 01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 4: Possessions the, really the only ONE i remember is is 1970 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,160 Speaker 4: day day before the, half and that was just because 1971 01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,479 Speaker 4: he was trying to get the last shot. Off does this, 1972 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 4: TEAM i know it's it's it's a one game sample. 1973 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,320 Speaker 4: Size does this team possess more playmakers that can get 1974 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:05,960 Speaker 4: the ball with five on the shot clock and go 1975 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:06,519 Speaker 4: get their own. 1976 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,760 Speaker 34: BUCKET i think the first one you think of As, 1977 01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:14,440 Speaker 34: SHAWNABAIAS i, mean that's his whole thing is go, isolation 1978 01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,640 Speaker 34: beat your, guy create some, space and get a. 1979 01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:21,080 Speaker 6: Bucket and it is funny that to day day end. 1980 01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,400 Speaker 34: Of the first half shot that it feels like that's 1981 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:26,840 Speaker 34: what they've, done like every half possession that they've had the, 1982 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,840 Speaker 34: ball where it's just you isolate a guy and then 1983 01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:32,880 Speaker 34: he shoots like a thirty foot jump, shot just hoping 1984 01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:35,920 Speaker 34: that it goes. In and you've never really seen anything 1985 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:39,280 Speaker 34: deviate from. That so NOW i think when you ask that, 1986 01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,920 Speaker 34: question it's It's Shaunabias and beyond, THAT. 1987 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,240 Speaker 6: I Think Kirk cries is a dangerous offensive. 1988 01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 34: Player and then you also have to look At Boba 1989 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,840 Speaker 34: miller as a guy who can kind of finish inside and. 1990 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 6: Finish outside as. 1991 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,599 Speaker 34: Well even though we haven't really seen the Shooting Baba, 1992 01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,200 Speaker 34: miller but he's shown that he can. 1993 01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,599 Speaker 6: Do three one hundred. 1994 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 11: And fourteen attempts last, year SO i. 1995 01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:06,800 Speaker 6: Think they have a. Few but the main guy THAT 1996 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:07,480 Speaker 6: i would. 1997 01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,559 Speaker 34: Look for in those situations Is Shana bayo because that's 1998 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,639 Speaker 34: that's why he makes his money and that's why he's. 1999 01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:14,880 Speaker 6: Going to make his money in THE nba if he 2000 01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:16,640 Speaker 6: has the season that a lot of people think he. 2001 01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 4: Can how much have you allowed yourself to dive Into 2002 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:21,479 Speaker 4: Georgia state film For tomorrow? 2003 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:25,680 Speaker 34: Night you, know shout out To Kyle.

Michigan, yes, yeah 2008 01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:43,160 Speaker 34: oh If silani The treasure of The midwest And, MICHIGAN 2009 01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:47,200 Speaker 34: i don't THINK i can Say i've broken down the 2010 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:48,600 Speaker 34: film to that. 2011 01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:51,360 Speaker 6: Extent so they're outside of. 2012 01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,960 Speaker 34: The top three hundred And Ken palm in both offense and, 2013 01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 34: defense so this should be an easy win For. Cincinnati 2014 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:00,960 Speaker 34: and then you get ready for or what should be 2015 01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,320 Speaker 34: a pretty Good dayton team At Fifth Third, arena Which 2016 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,719 Speaker 34: i'm so glad that game is At Fifth Third arena 2017 01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,320 Speaker 34: and not At Heritage Bank.

Right but that 2437 02:05:13,800 --> 02:05:17,160 Speaker 4: doesn't mean we got it, right BECAUSE i think they're 2438 02:05:17,240 --> 02:05:18,720 Speaker 4: looking at it and, saying. 2439 02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:20,040 Speaker 6: We. 2440 02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:22,640 Speaker 8: Did we buy the, book we did what we were 2441 02:05:22,640 --> 02:05:24,880 Speaker 8: supposed to, do and we're going to stick by. That, 2442 02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:27,680 Speaker 8: no somebody has to, say, look the players we got. 2443 02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:33,320 Speaker 8: Stink they can't draft, defense and which is what The 2444 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:36,320 Speaker 8: cowboys have been struggling. Through and so The cowboys, said 2445 02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:39,360 Speaker 8: screw drafting defensive. Players we'll go Get Quinn. Williams go 2446 02:05:39,480 --> 02:05:41,920 Speaker 8: look at The Super, bowl in THE Afc, championship, defense 2447 02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:48,640 Speaker 8: free agents everywhere everywhere throughout that. Defense they didn't do 2448 02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:51,800 Speaker 8: it by. Drafting they did it in the open. Market 2449 02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:57,960 Speaker 8: so what, because like you just, said what's the path 2450 02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:02,520 Speaker 8: to getting back to, success it's blowing it up and 2451 02:06:02,680 --> 02:06:05,960 Speaker 8: starting over because what they did didn't. Work but now 2452 02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:07,640 Speaker 8: you can't really blow it up and go into the 2453 02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:10,160 Speaker 8: free agent, pool, correct because you don't have the money 2454 02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:13,600 Speaker 8: to do. That so what's the answer to fix the? 2455 02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:16,120 Speaker 8: DEFENSE i don't.

It but you're 2461 02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:34,080 Speaker 4: identifying players that can play well in, space that move well, 2462 02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:37,360 Speaker 4: latterly that fly a.
