00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: This is Football Naddy, brought to you in part by

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Postman Law and Vice Skyline Chilly on ESPN fifteen thirty,

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: Thursdays, we spend a few minutes chatting with our friend

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: from Bengals Talk dot com. Where is a good piece

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: on andre yoshibas of today? Jay Morrison, who's on Twitter

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 2: at by Jay Morrison? Hi, j.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: Hey Moe.

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: How much did Joe Flaco throw today?

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: He was listed as limited though it wasn't a lot.

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: You don't really get a sense of how much exactly

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: if he does anything beyond the full amount, it's listed

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: as limited, So it could have been ninety percent, it

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: could have been fifty percent.

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 4: But the plan is.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: The plan was for him to go limited today, just

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: like he did last week. He'll probably do very little

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: on the walkthrough on Friday, and he will walk out

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: on the field as the starter on Sunday.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll walk out on the field. I just I

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: don't know. He has been awesome. He should be the

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: best story in the NFL right now. In many respects

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: he is. But I've got an older quarterback with a

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: springed ac joint in his shoulder, the weather is getting colder.

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: I just I'm waiting for him to turn into a pumpkin.

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Is that unfair?

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's unfair, And I think it's

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: important to remember that for the first time since his

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: first game here, he's not playing at pay Course Stadium.

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a loud visiting crowd, a loud crowd

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. That defensive line of the Steelers is really good.

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: They are going to be getting off the snap that

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: the Bengals are gonna go on the silent count, and

34
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a real test. That the offensive line's

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: played really well since since Blacko got here. But this

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: is gonna be a much different test with with a

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: loud crowd to act to sure a really, really good

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 3: defensive line obviously headlined by Cameron Hayward and j Watt.

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: This offensive line is going to have to keep him

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: clean because one shot could be all it takes for

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: Jake Browning to be forced into the game.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't want to see that at all.

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: You talked about though, the offensive line performing well and

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco has made them look good. But if there's

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: one thing I am clinging to and I can apply

46
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: this to next year. Maybe as the next eight weeks

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: move forward. This offensive line is playing okay, and so

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: much so that you start to look at some of

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: the younger guys on it and start to feel good

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: about the future of that position group.

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: No, yeah, I mean exactly.

52
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: You think about look at what the defense looks like

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: at linebacker, because there's two rookies in there, and then

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: compare that with what the offensive line looks like. With

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: two rookies in there.

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: It's night and day.

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: And Dylan Fairchild has really kind of, you know, afforded

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: himself pretty well. I would say he's been physical. He

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: really looks the part. He's not an off ro anything

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 3: close to that yet, but for a rookie offensive line man,

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: he's hold his own. And Jalen has had his moments,

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: but he's he's growing into that role too. And he

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: you know, he played tackle last year. He's not only

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: learning the NFL, he's learning a new position. And you know,

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Ted is solid. Orlando's been okay. He hasn't been great,

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: but he's he's been serviceable for a left tackle, and

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: n A Marius Mems continues to improve. So I think

68
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: when you went into this year. If you look at

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: the way this offensive line has played the last couple

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: of years, everybody would last couple of weeks, everybody would

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: have signed up for that.

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: No question about that. Jay Morrison is with US Bengals

73
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Talk dot com. Is it time to consider Shamar Stewart's

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: rookie season a wash?

75
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: No? I don't think so. I mean, it's it's unfortunate.

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: Everything that's happened so far has been unfortunate. But you

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: can you you still have eight games left and I

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: don't know how long he's going to be out. He's

79
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: week to week. But you know, Joe Burrow says it

80
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: all the time. Every rep is a valuable rep. So

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: it is if he can get back and get healthy,

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: whether they're in the race or not, to have that

83
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: guy out out there learning the position and learning to

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: be physical and this will not get put on his

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: back way on the other side of the defensive line.

86
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: It's it's not lost. It's not what anybody wanted, what

87
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: anybody hoped for, But I don't think you should just

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: write it off.

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 4: There's a real chance.

90
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: That he can make some growth in the final two

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: months of the season.

92
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Is it time to consider Miles Murphy's Bengals career awash.

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been bad. I mean, they just keep saying

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: it over and over. You know, it's time for him

95
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: to get going. It's time for him to get going,

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: and you just don't see it. And the opportunities are there.

97
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: This offense has been playing well and giving the team

98
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: leads in the fourth quarter, which is exactly what you

99
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: want for a young pass rusher to just be able

100
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: to tee off and go after the quarterback. And you

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 3: know he's not there, and you know, all of a sudden,

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: here comes Cedric Johnson and and he's he's given them

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: a little de juice in the pass rush, and it's

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: he played sparingly last week because he had had one

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: un padded practice since last year coming off the injury.

106
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: I think we're going to see a little bit more

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: of him, and if he continues to outplay Miles Murphy,

108
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: then I don't know if they cut ties with him

109
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: as a first round pick, but he certainly can move

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: further back on the depth check.

111
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: How many players could I ask about their Bengals career

112
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: being a wash before you got tired of the question.

113
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: We're almost there, maybe you want more.

114
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: I will, I will spare both of us. Jay, thank
