Speaker 4: Are you ready?

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 6: Yes?

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 7: Now we read and react, Olko, Tony Pike, Cincy three sixty.

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 4: Shout out to our good friends at next Stats and

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: the good people of NFL Pro. There is pages react

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: and pages of insights heading into Super Bowl sixty. Let's

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 4: start with Jackson Smith in jigbah j s N, the

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: Buckeye wide receiver. He's an absolute beast, He's an animal,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 4: he's a freak. He lines up all over the place,

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: and I think it's not just the fact that he

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 4: lines up all over the place. He has a lot

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: of different routes that he runs. Tony Jackson, Smith and

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 4: Jigba gained one hundred or more receiving yards on eight

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 4: different route types this season, making him one of only

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: two receivers to accomplish this feat with the previously mentioned

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: Puka Nakua. While he did not lead the NFL in

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: receiving yards on any single route type, he ranked top

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: five on five different route types, including go routes, where

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: his two hundred and seventy nine yards or his most

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: on any route. I think initially, if you hear something

35
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: like that, you think, well, okay, he's a receiver. He's

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 4: supposed to run a lot of different routes. The problem is,

37
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: receivers are kind of known for who and what they are.

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 4: You've got the slot receiver who at times can push

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 4: the ball down the field, but you carry the short routes,

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: the intermediate routes, you work the middle. You got your

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 4: outside receiver who's normally going to run the go route,

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: and then you kind of got your guy you're going

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: to move all around. That's going to hit you from

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: from short, middle to deep. And I think what makes

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 4: JSN the receiver he is today is just the complete

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: package of what he can do. There's not going into

47
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: a game a lot of Again we talk about these

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: insights by next gen, you can't just break down his

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: route train and say, Okay, he's going to run two

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: or three routes.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: We've got to do a good job of slowing those down.

52
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 5: What I think is the most impressive thing about what

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: you read is that the go routes were so many

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: of the yards accounted for, So just lining up and

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: running straight down the field, you think, well, how hard

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 5: can that to be stopped? Well, if he's running seven

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 5: different variations off every go route, it's impossible for a

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 5: defense to react each way. So he's elite at running

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: different routes short, intermediate, deep, and they also move him

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 5: around so much that you won't don't really have the

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 5: chance to say okay. I think if T Higgins in

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: a way a couple of years ago, T Higgins was

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 5: a guy that lined up outside and a lot of

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: his routes went down the field. So going into a game,

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: you've got to be aware of that. You still can't

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: stop it all the time, but you're not really worried

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: about t beating you over the middle or in the

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 5: short game. That's where he's expanding. That's what Jackson Smith

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: and Jigba has mastered at this point.

70
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: Let's follow that up with jsin. He aligned in the

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: backfield of twelve excuse me, on twelve of his seven

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: and eighty nine snaps during the regular season. That's just

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: one point five. He ran a route on ten of

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: those twelve snaps. He caught all five targets for eighty

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: four yards, forty one more than any other wide receiver.

76
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: Clinck Kubiak and the Seahawks got increasingly creative with Smith

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: and Jigba during the playoffs, aligning him in the backfield

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: on six of ninety snaps. That's almost seven percent of

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: those six snaps. He's run five routes, catching one of

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: his two targets for a fourteen yard touchdown in the

81
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: NFC Championship game.

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: So that was the touchdown pass on which Jamar Chase

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 5: tweeted out if he tried that, he would have been

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 5: jammed or bumped at the line of scrimmage, chipped at

85
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage. It goes to show how hard

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: it is to prepare for a player in a game

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 5: play in the National Football League. You mentioned what under

88
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: two percent of his snaps in the regular season was

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: out of the backfield. So during the regular season, you

90
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 5: know that's a possibility, but how much time are you

91
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: really putting to that that week of practice. All of

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 5: a sudden you get into the playoffs almost seven percent.

93
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: That's a significant uptick in times you're moving Jackson Smith

94
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: and Jigma into the backfield. What else happened during the

95
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 5: regular season ran a lot of go routes while in

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 5: the backfield. Instead during the playoffs, he's snapping a lot

97
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 5: of those routes off. So think of what you've got

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 5: to prepare for one hundred different things. If you're a

99
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, now you've got to put more time into Hey,

100
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 5: this is our game plan when JSN is out of

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 5: the backfield. And oh, by the way, he's such a

102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: good route runner that he's not just going to run

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: a go route. He can snap that off and run

104
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 5: seven or eight different routes out of the backfield. That's

105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 5: why to me, he's the difference maker on Sunday the

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 5: New England does not have a player they can do

107
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: that with. They can't line him up all over the field,

108
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: they can't take away doubles by alignment and motions in

109
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 5: different things. That to me is the difference maker because

110
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: of his ability to be so effective in every place

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 5: they line him up.

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: Patriots quarterback Drake May was most efficient passing out of

113
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: eleven personnel when faced with nickel personnel this season, leading

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: the NFL in both yards per attempt and completion percentage

115
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 4: almost seventy six percent. He was less efficient when facing

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: dime personnel, as he averaged nine point one yards per

117
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 4: attempt and recorded just a sixty four percent completion percentage.

118
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: Both of those figures rank well above the league average

119
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: marks of seven point three and sixty point four. The

120
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 4: Seahawks defense matched eleven personnel with nickel personnel at the

121
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: thirteenth lowest rate this season, instead opting to match with

122
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: dime personnel on twenty three point six percent of those snaps,

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: the seventh highest in the NFL.

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 5: I think this is the back and forth the chess

125
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 5: match you'll see on Sunday. For those that at the

126
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: beginner level, eleven personnel is essentially a formation in football

127
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 5: where you're gonna use one running back, one tight end, and.

128
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: Three wide receivers.

129
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 5: We talked a lot about the Cincinnati Bengals out of

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: twelve personnel with two tight ends and two wide receivers.

131
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 5: They like that in New England using one back and

132
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: one tight end and three wide receivers on the field.

133
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: Nickel defense is going to use five different defensive backs.

134
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 5: You're taking a linebacker off the field and adding a

135
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 5: defensive back. Dime defense adds two defense two extra defensive backs,

136
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: so you get six defensive backs on the field. So

137
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 5: that's the comfort level for Drake May. He likes being

138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: able to spread the defense out. He likes being able

139
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 5: to utilize matchups in eleven personnel. But it's what May

140
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: has made the Seahawks defense so hard to navigate. A

141
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: lot of times you go nickel, you go dime. Other

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 5: team can be a little bit more physical with you.

143
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: You can't be physical with the Seattle defense because they're

144
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: so good up front that it allows them to run

145
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: five six defensive backs on the field at a time,

146
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: slow down the passing game that way, get home with

147
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: four up front. That makes it a very hard team

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: to have success with if you can't run the ball

149
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: against that dime look.

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: The Patriots offense led the NFL an explosive play rate

151
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: this season, recording a ten plus yard rush or fifteen

152
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: plus yard pass on fifteen point eight percent of their plays.

153
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: New England was particularly explosive on pass plays, also leading

154
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: a league with a twenty point four percent rate, which

155
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: was seven point seven percent higher than their rate last season.

156
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: Their explosive rush rate of ten point nine percent this

157
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: season was middle of the pack fifteenth overall and right

158
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,359
Speaker 4: in line with the league average.

159
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 5: It feels to me that as the season went on,

160
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: they found more success in the explosiveness on the ground

161
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: with Traveon Henderson. I feel like a lot of times

162
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 5: I looked up Trayvon Henderson was scoring from a deeper

163
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: margin out explosive runs. He had almost one thousand yards

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: on the regular season nine hundred eleven, but he averaged

165
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 5: five point one yards per carry. And while I know

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: they had more explosiveness in the passing game, their roster

167
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: alone doesn't have a ton of the explosiveness. Stefon Diggs

168
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: Hunter Henry Kishon Boutiez is their deep threat, but Mac

169
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 5: Collins more of an intermediate receiver. They will use the

170
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: running backs in the passing game, and they have found

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 5: explosiveness with Traveon Henderson in that as well. But I lean,

172
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 5: even though you talk about the passing game and the explosiveness,

173
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: if New England has a chance in this because of

174
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,239
Speaker 5: what you just mentioned Austin, and that is the Seahawks'

175
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 5: ability to go die personnel because of their front. If

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 5: New England wants to have a chance, they've got to

177
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 5: find explosiveness on the ground and win those matchups with

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 5: your big players being able to get their hands on

179
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 5: some corners.

180
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 4: If you get to the second level. Sam Darnold used

181
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: designed rollouts on twelve points six percent of his dropbacks

182
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: this season. That's the fourth highest rate in the NFL.

183
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: That figure has jumped to fifteen point three percent through

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: three postseason games, a rate that would have ranked second

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: during the regular season. Donald was also among the league's

186
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: most efficient quarterbacks on rollouts, leading the NFL with six

187
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty six hundred and eighty eight passing yards

188
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 4: while averaging eleven yards per attempt, the second highest mark,

189
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: trailing only Lamar Jackson. Obviously, there are two very similar athletes.

190
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: While Donald ranked second in this regard. He attempted forty

191
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: three more passes than Jackson did. Meanwhile, the Patriots defense

192
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: has allowed four completions for twenty two yards and a

193
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: touchdown across twelve passes faced on designed rollouts through three

194
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: postseason games, while also coming away with two interceptions, both

195
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: of which were thrown by Coleridge Bernard Stroud fourth in

196
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: the Divisional round. Well, I throw anything out c J.

197
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 4: Stroud did because that was awful. Yeah, I'm sorry.

198
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: See Sam Donald. To me, when I think of this

199
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: year under center play action, he takes shots down the

200
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 5: field and completes him at a high level, which keeps

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: the defense on their heels. And I think what Kobiak

202
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 5: has done a great.

203
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: Job of is the rollout on the drawback that's designed

204
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: not because of pressure but a play design because as

205
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: a quarterback, you're essentially cutting the field in half and

206
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: making the read a lot easier for Sam Darnald. A

207
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: lot of times you come out of a rollout, you're

208
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: going to read low to high. There are times you

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: come out where you are looking to take a shot

210
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: and read it high to low. But rollouts from a

211
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: design standpoint, not where you've got to scramble. Are very

212
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: easy for a quarterback to navigate. As far as the

213
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 4: reed goes, He's been accurate when making those passes. But that,

214
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: to me is what we talked about in the last hour.

215
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: Which coordinator can take pressure off their quarterback by getting

216
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: them some easy completions. It's not always going to be

217
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: an easy completion, but it's an easy read for a quarterback.

218
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: You're not asking him to look at the whole field.

219
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: You're shrinking the field. And if you look at the

220
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: bigger picture with the Seattle Seahawks, they take shots down

221
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 4: the field, they utilize under center play action, and they

222
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: move the pocket in the passing game. That is all

223
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 4: designed to give Sam Darnold a pre snap look, an

224
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: easy throw or an easy read to take a little

225
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: bit of pressure and stress off him. I think they've

226
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: done a great job with that. Two more quick ones. Now,

227
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 4: it was revealed yesterday that nick Emon Worri, Yes, the

228
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 4: rookie safety of the Seahawks, suffered an ankle injury late

229
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: in practice yesterday. He was limping around. Don't know exactly

230
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: what his status will be. Why is that a big deal? Well,

231
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 4: Nick even Woorries nineteen pressures, ranked first among all cornerbacks

232
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: and slot corners in the NFL this season. He's recorded

233
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: two and a half sacks this year, with solo sacks

234
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: against both Atlanta and Indianapolis. His production has been a

235
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: key part of Seattle's defensive backs six and a half

236
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: total sacks from their dbs, nearly double the league at

237
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: bridge for a defensive back unit.

238
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 5: Well, the thing I think of with him is is

239
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: length and size six three two twenty. So when he's blitzing,

240
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: when he's creating pressure, it's a it's a bigger target

241
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 5: to have to go around. Are you going to try

242
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: to drop the arm angle throw it around him? Are

243
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: you going to try to get it over top where

244
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 5: he can get his hands on it, or are you

245
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: going to try to make him miss? He's an excellent

246
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 5: open field tackler. If he is at all compromised, that

247
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 5: is a huge deal for this Seattle defense because he's

248
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 5: been so consistent throughout the regular season and into the postseason.

249
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: I saw a picture last night of him or a

250
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: video of him last night getting out of a car,

251
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 5: and he was walking into the hotel without a boot,

252
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 5: without a noticeable limb. But you talk about a major

253
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: part of the game plan and what you mentioned Austin

254
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: of Mike McDonald try to confuse Drake May. That's bringing

255
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 5: that secondary pressure off the edge. Quarterbacks are on his

256
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: use to that. He's a big part of that. His

257
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 5: health is going to be critical of what they're able

258
00:13:59,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: to do.

259
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: Last one, and this one hits home because Bengals fans

260
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: know the importance in a Super Bowl of a guard

261
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: getting his block. Oh we right guard Anthony Bradford. He

262
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: surrendered a season high eight pressures, including a sack, across

263
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: forty pass blocking snaps in the Seahawks' NFC Championship win

264
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: over the Rams. Surrendered a twenty percent pressure rate, twice

265
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: as many pressures allowed as any other Seahawks offensive lineman

266
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: over the full season. Sixteen of Bradford's forty one total

267
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: pressures have come in three combined meetings with the Rams.

268
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: He allowed a thirteen point zero percent combined pressure rate

269
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: in those meetings, compared to a five point six percent

270
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: rate allowed in all other games.

271
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: Well, no one's happier than Anthony Bradford then that they

272
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: beat the Rams.

273
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: No kidding. Milton Williams is over.

274
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: There, Yeah, listen, and the Patriots spent big money on

275
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: getting Milton Williams for this reason. That me again, who

276
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: can hold up in the offensive line, And you mentioned

277
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: the guard position. I think with a quarterback like Drake

278
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: May who is very mobile, or I'm sorry, a quarterback

279
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 5: like Sam Darnold who can get out of the pocket,

280
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 5: the pressure up the middle is going to be more

281
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 5: effective than the pressure on the outside. Can you get

282
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: pressure into his face? Can you force a throw to

283
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: go high? Can you not allow him to drive into

284
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 5: a pass and the accuracy dips just a little bit.

285
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: Donald's athletic enough for that out off the edge pressure.

286
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: If it's pressure coming up the middle, that poses a

287
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: huge problem. And I'm assuming in those first two games

288
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 5: against the Rams where Donald threw six interceptions combined, that

289
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: was a big issue as the pressure up the middle.

290
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 5: Anthony Bradford will play a big role with Milton Williams

291
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: alongside the other side of him as to who can

292
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 5: hold out and keep their quarterback upright the most.

293
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: On Sunday, this has been read and react. I'm out

294
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: of breath. That was a lot. I missread and react.

295
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: You just did it. I know I miss not having

296
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: it for the Bengals. I mean, we can just pick

297
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: random ones and just do random back and reacts throughout

298
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: the offseason. That's fine with me.

299

325
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:34,680

00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 4: What is that?

327
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: Oh my godness, it's a clipper?

328
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 4: Get down, yep, Alberta clipper. I heard it in the

329
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: in the weather forecast that they're just.

330
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: Going to blow through tomorrow. Oh Alberta cancel school.

331
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: Now, hey, guys, I.

332
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 11: Just had a question regarding the Bengals. So who is

333
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 11: actually in charge of.

334
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: Getting the talent?

335
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 11: Is it Duke Tobin or does the coaches have significant impact?

336
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 11: It would seem to me that the coaches should have

337
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 11: the major part of the impact.

338
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: Can you please explain. I've always viewed it as a collaboration.

339
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 4: That's how I view it. Mike Potts is the director

340
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: of college scouting, so he's over like draft picks college

341
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: players and stuff like that. Stephen radisivic, I think is

342
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 4: the way you pronounce his name. If my understanding of

343
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: the hierarchy is correct, he's in charge of the professionals,

344
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: so like he leads the charge on free agency, Mike

345
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 4: Potts leads the charge on college players. They all work

346
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: in collaboration and report to Duke Tobin, and the coaches

347
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 4: all have a significant role in all of that. I

348
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 4: don't know that they have veto power, but they scout

349
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: college and professional players and they all come up with

350
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: a plan. There's a bunch of data. I've mentioned it before,

351
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: butch Hobson wrote a good story on Bengals dot Com

352
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: a week or two ago, kind of explaining how, you know,

353
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: because they've added people and technology to that department, and

354
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 4: kind of explaining how it works. So I recommend reading that.

355
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 12: Hey, dudes, Brandon and Anderson, I'll be missing the Super

356
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 12: Bowl this year unfortunately, and it's not to protest any

357
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 12: halftime entertainment, but because we're going to be getting more

358

398
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 14: long discussion on how to have your steak cook. Oh,

00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 14: so we've talked about, let's rank what you prefer rare, medium, rare,

403
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 4: The other ones. I don't even want medium, rare, medium,

404
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: and I will not eat a well done.

405
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 5: So I'm trying to understand the visual of our guy

406
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: Jim just rolling through Facebook reels.

407
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 4: It's disgusting.

408
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: Man, back for a double up, man, bump them chumps.

409
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: You guys are number one than me.

410
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: Don't worry about everything.

411
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: You know, my Super Bowl prediction thirty one twenty Seattle.

412
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 13: Let's get real. We know fifteen thirty that you know

413
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 13: what I'm saying, y'all. Number one, don't worry about that

414
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 13: all that smoke. There's nothing compared to you guys on

415
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 13: sports radio. There's nothing like you, not even out here.

416
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 13: Trust me, were lucky, we blessed to have you guys

417
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 13: on the radio.

418
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you, Ron, I appreciate that.

419
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, kind words, Barrett Media, Chad Brundle.

420
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 4: Brindle catching us straight out.

421
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 14: Sorry for the double dip, but you guys kind of

422
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 14: jacked me up when you said since the three sixties,

423
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 14: not even on the radar of being ranked as one

424
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 14: of the better sports talk programs. You know, I don't

425
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 14: listen to very many other sports programs. It's because, especially

426
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 14: national it's because the yelling and the volume and the

427
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 14: cross talk and talking over each other. You guys don't

428
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 14: do that here. Thank you.

429
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 5: We'd like to keep yelling at a minimum. That's because

430
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 5: we're in the same room all the time.

431
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: I think we need more yelling. You want more yelling.

432
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 4: I think one of the more impressive things about us, truthfully,

433
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 4: is that we don't talk over each other. Considering we

434
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: can't siege. That's and we are fifty feet away from

435
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 4: one another.

436
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: I think when people come into studio that's one of

437
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: the things that shocks them the most. Yeah, like, wait,

438
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 5: where's Austin at He's not in this room.

439
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: No, Austin's got the brains of the operation over here

440
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: running in that closet. Hey, guys, Marcus and the groove Marcus.

441
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: With it being forty nine days away day, has it

442
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: been announced or do you guys know if you guys

443
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: were doing the opening day as Smoke Justice again this year.

444
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: We know where we will be.

445
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think we can release anything yet, but

446
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 5: I think things are in the.

447
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 4: Works, but we cannot say yet. Yeah, we were told

448
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: we will be able to say when soon or where?

449
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 4: And when and soon? Is it? Is it as simple

450
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 4: as Rob Dibble for number forty nine. Uh, there's some

451
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: good ones. There's some good ones, I think obviously Will

452
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: Banfield last year. Of course. I mean, nobody's gonna eclipse

453
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: Digs DIBs, especially as a friend of the show. Correct,

454
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go dibble when it's a run away, all.

455
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 9: Right, boys on the Hall of Fame Committee, both committee,

456
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 9: whoever it is, it's time to fit both at Anderson

457
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 9: Boys and long Overduree, get Kenny and whatever get there.

458
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: It's lardy to cable guy would say, go right, yeah,

459
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 4: I would love for that to happen. My hot take

460
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 4: is that Willie gets in and Kenny doesn't. Oh will

461
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: they will Yeah.

462
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 15: I think the Max Crosby deal is probably pushing it

463
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 15: a little bit. But if you look at Jeffrey Simmons

464
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 15: his deal, it's twenty million dollars for twenty twenty six,

465
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 15: and the Tennessee Titans have over one hundred million dollars

466
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 15: to spend in free agency if they want to.

467
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: So I think I said.

468
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 15: Yesterday you tag and trade Trey Hendrickson, and I could

469
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 15: see Trey Lannon and ten. And here's one thing I

470
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 15: didn't realize until last night. Alec Pierce is going to

471
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 15: be a freciation and I think there's your solid number

472
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 15: three wide receiver.

473
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: I think Alec Pierce is going to get a bag.

474
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: I was gonna say he's But you.

475
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 5: Want to talk about a prototypical like that. We've talked

476
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 5: about the read and react with Jackson Smith and Jigba.

477
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 5: That's not the routtree with Alec Pierce right, it's gonna

478
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: be a lot of go routes Alan in an offense

479
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: like the Bengals, that would be very good.

480
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 4: I just don't think that's going to be affordable. Alec

481
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: Pierce is projected to land a deal four years between

482
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 4: eighty five and ninety five million dollars. Yeah, probably not

483
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: in the card, but probably not gonna be. I wish

484
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 4: I would love it to be a.

485
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 5: Hard sell with the defense, like we're gonna throw ninety

486
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 5: here at wide receiver number three.

487
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if people understand, maybe just because

488
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: of the issues the Colts have had on offense. I

489
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 4: don't think people understand how good he's been. Yes, like

490
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 4: he's legitimately been off without many quarterbacks. Paul from Cleeves here.

491
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 9: I do believe the Bengals are going to be spenders

492
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 9: in this offseason, and I'm pretty.

493
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: Excited about it. But the real reason I call it

494
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: my son hate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know about your son.

495
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 14: Happy birthday, Tod.

496
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 16: You asked Austin about the Warriors trade. It's a master

497
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 16: class in front office buffoonery, an absolute refusal to go

498
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 16: all in on the now rapidly closing Steph Curry window

499
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 16: and try to run an organization on two timelines. Because

500
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 16: here's the problem now, they haven't executed either timeline. Step

501
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 16: turns thirty eight next month, has no help and there's

502
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 16: no hope for the future after Steph.

503
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 4: Ye oh man ask and you shall receive the yeat

504
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: cut off at the end.

505
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 5: That is that's a great breakdown. So Joe Dana, you know,

506
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 5: as much as we talk about the Super Bowl window

507
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 5: here in Cincinnati with Joe Burrow, I would imagine that

508
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 5: that's a big talky talking point with the Warriors and

509
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 5: Steph Curry's career starting to wind.

510
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: Down, master class in front office buffoonery and an absolute

511
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: refuse to go all in on the now rapidly closing

512
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 4: Steph Curry window.

513
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 5: You could use that perhaps mean some off seasons we've

514
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 5: talked about here.

515
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: What a word smith Man from the former Ohio sportscaster

516
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 4: of the Year, Joseph E. Danoman form, is he still another?

517
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: It was just a twenty twenty five thing and I

518
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: don't want his head to get to but he doesn't.

519
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 4: Does that not roll over to twenty I think rowse

520
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 4: the favorite this year? Hello?

521
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 7: Could that cause some drama internally? Find out next HILLO.

522
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 7: This is former president Ronald Rankam. Yes, today's subject professional

523
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 7: Cincinnati athletes who wore the uniform number fourteen b Rose,

524
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 7: Ken Anderson, and Oscar Robertson.

525
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 5: I'd still say Pete and then I would go the

526
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 5: big O and then Ken.

527
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: Hmmm. When Ken Anderson retired, he was the best quarterback

528
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: in the history of the a f C. Mmm. What

529
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,640

Speaker 4: across the street to see Pete Rose, but I do.

533
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: I do appreciate his greatness. Yeah, he would be number one.

534

Speaker 10: Okay, here's what you do with your fould. You stop

Speaker 5: Now, I appreciate George trying to get back into good graces,

544
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: but you can't continue to leave talkbacks and ignore the

545
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: elephant in the room.

546
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: Well he did leave another one, and.

547
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,400

549
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 10: kicked by stage about time. Only been waiting on that

550
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 10: for seven years. Then after that we had to watch

551
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 10: Ohio State get absolutely embarrassed, embarrassed in the playoffs. I

552
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 10: absolutely made the Big Ten look terrible.

553
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: You want to say, dog Walker, mean, you.

554
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 10: Couldn't have couldn't have baster?

555
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: Might me just just walloped them?

556
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: It?

557
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 10: He's embarrassing. Austin absolutely embarrassing. And then Tony the bear

558
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 10: Cats they're embarrassment as well.

559
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: Well, what about your Dayton Flyers? George, hold on a second,

560
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: what about your Dayton Flyers? He said, Ohio State made

561
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: the Big Ten look terrible? Yes, who's a national champion? Uh,

562
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: that would be Indiana. What conference they play in? They're

563
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten? Okay? Do you think Ohio State

564
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: got embarrassed in the playoffs? I don't think it was embarrassing. Okay,

565
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 4: I don't think it was an embarrassing I mean they

566
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: didn't really feel competitive sure at times. I don't think

567
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: they got embarrassed.

568
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say that because I still felt in the

569
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 5: second half they were going to find a way to

570
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 5: win it.

571
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, embarrassed is not the word, and reality is again

572
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: nowhere near.

573
00:29:52,400 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: George Kenny, Kenny, Willy Willy, come on on the whole

574
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 6: fame time. He's up on all that Bengal bias over

575
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 6: years and make twenty five twenty six here the Cincinnati

576
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 6: Bengal Anderson twins men.

577
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: Some would call it the Year of the Cat. That's

578
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: a song. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hey, I saw.

579
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 17: A very good news story about the Cincinnati Curling Club

580
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 17: just the other day. I beg that you, Tony Bike

581
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 17: and you Austin Olimore should go out there do a

582
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 17: little show from the ice before the Olympics get going.

583
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 17: I'd love you to the ins and ounce on curling.

584
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 17: Become our experts in this city on curling. Guys, come on,

585
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 17: we'll have to let us down.

586
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 5: After what the mixed double team mixed double team did

587
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: today to start things off, I think that's a great start.

588
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 5: I have questions if you watch curling. They both wore

589
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 5: these heavy mittens. Is it that cold on the ice

590
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: that they got to keep their hands that warm ice

591
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: is frozen. So yes, I've got some questions about the

592
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 5: the overall rules. But curling, to me, and you'll love this,

593
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 5: Austen curling is one of those sports that I feel

594
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: like if I devote four straight years too, I could

595
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: make the Olympics.

596
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 4: I think if I think we should maybe come together

597
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 4: and create some content. Here, you and me against Joe

598
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 4: and Jeremy. Gosh, I still want it to be competitive.

599
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: They can do the video part, We'll do the audio part.

600
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 5: Bag Yeah, but the problem is no one's gonna want

601
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 5: to listen or watch if we're dominating them. And I

602
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 5: feel like that's.

603
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: That's where you edit it to make it seem like

604
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 4: they're in the game.

605
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 5: No disrespect to Jeremy and Joe, but I just feel like, can.

606
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: You show the scoreboard at the end. Yeah, I'd be like,

607
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 4: wait a second, it didn't seem like it was that bad.

608
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: The designated hitter Henio Suarez.

609
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: If I go out to a spring training game in Arizona,

610
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: the real question is are they gonna serve Scott Line

611
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: in that stadium?

612
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: Yes? I believe they do. Think they do. I'm pretty

613
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: sure they do. That's a great question.

614
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, if y'all ever get a chance to do

615
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 18: a segment, I'd love to hear it on y'all's Mingles

616
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 18: super Bowl line up those past present players, best of

617
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 18: the best of the positions, who you put on that

618
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 18: team and would just totally dominate its.

619
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll put that on the offseason list Bengal's Ultimate Team.

620
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: I'm not giving it to Pete Johnson from the one

621
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 4: yard line. I'll tell you that.

622
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: Was good.

623
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,120

Speaker 5: what what led to you wanting to be a part

711
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 5: of this and and to kind of take this leap yep?

712
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 20: So last year I was involved with a team down

713
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 20: a Corpus Christi, Texas.

714
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: They had some ownership issues down there.

715
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 20: We didn't really have the same vision and in that

716
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 20: ownership I was talking with Jeff Fisher the whole time

717
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 20: and our CEO Jerry Kerz, and they said, hey, you

718
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 20: know you're you're doing a good job from Ohio to Texas.

719
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 20: Why not bring a team up where you live? And

720
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 20: I said, yeah, absolutely, this is awesome. So it's a

721
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 20: very exciting game. So you know, for me, it was

722
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 20: a no brainer. I think it'll be really fun for

723
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 20: the fans here.

724
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 5: You mentioned Jeff Fisher, I know John Gruden is a

725
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 5: part of.

726
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 4: Of the league as well.

727
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 5: What what is it that there's been a lot of

728
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 5: these leagues, but a lot of of indoor football that's happened.

729
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 5: What is it about what you have going on with

730
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 5: a f one that that can separate itself?

731
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 20: Yeah, and I think you know you you hit the

732
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 20: nail on the head is we have the NFL backing.

733
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 20: You know, we had of Jeff Fisher, who's a part

734
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 20: of the executive team.

735
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 4: He's our commissioner.

736
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 20: You know, he's just kind of running things as it

737
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 20: was an NFL league. You know, it's it's he's getting

738
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 20: us with all the good sponsors. He's he's making the

739
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 20: connections that are gonna keep us afloat. You know, we

740
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 20: did there. You know, honestly, there's a ton of arena leagues.

741
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 20: You know, there's a lot of indoor football leagues, but

742
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 20: they are they don't have a backing, they don't have

743
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 20: an NFL pedigree, you know, kind of with them. And

744
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 20: you know, we like to say we're the top arena

745
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 20: league just because we have Jeff Fisher, John Gruden. We

746
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 20: have these investors and people who are believing in this league.

747
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 20: And you know, I don't think they would put their

748
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 20: name on this if they didn't have the belief that

749
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 20: this is gonna be something.

750
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 5: I know, you you guys, with your your head coach,

751
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: Cedric Walker, how how important was it to get a

752
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 5: guy that's got a lot of indoor you know, experience

753
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 5: that that knows how to play this game that can

754
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 5: teach this and kind of get this to your athletes

755
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 5: as well.

756
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 20: Yeah, and it was you know, we we got very

757
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 20: very blessed with with landing him. He was in Billings

758
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 20: the last few years and that they were gonna move

759
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 20: to Casper, Wyoming and it didn't work out, so that

760
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 20: team kind of went dormant this year, and you know

761
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 20: there was an opening and as soon as I met Cedric,

762
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 20: Coach Walker is just an absolute, uh, you.

763
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: Know, great guy to be around.

764
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 20: You know, he's he's funny, he's he's involved with these kids,

765
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 20: and you know he has the kid's best interest. He's

766
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 20: not there just to be a football coach. He's there

767
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 20: to be a mentor. He's played the game for ten years. Uh,

768
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 20: he was in the NFL with the Chicago Bears for

769
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 20: a couple of years, so he knows the game. But

770
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 20: he also wants these kids to get to the next level,

771
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 20: whether it's football or whether it's just in life.

772
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 4: And he actually cares about them.

773
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 20: And you know that's why we've landed a lot of

774
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 20: big name free agents. These guys respect coach Walker so

775
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 20: much that they want to play for him.

776
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 5: I know the season gets underway in April. Before that happens,

777
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,080
