Speaker 18: in RNL Carriers.
Speaker 17: Pregame sports Talk presented by your Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky
Speaker 17: Toyota Dealers. I am ken Brew, and yes, we have
Speaker 17: arrived at this moment in time, this Sunday before Christmas.
Speaker 17: And oh, how we had home back in the day,
Speaker 17: back in the sweltering heat of summer camp. How we
Speaker 17: hope that this would be one of those defining moments,
Speaker 17: one of those days when the Bengals would fly south
Speaker 17: take on the Dolphins in a monumental showdown for both teams,
Speaker 17: each team clawing and fighting trying to get into the postseason.
Speaker 17: Sometimes what you expect is not what you get, and
Speaker 17: it's not what we got today. We all know what
Speaker 17: happened last week. The Bengals, for all intents and purposes,
Speaker 17: eliminated a few weeks ago, finally from a statistical standpoint,
Speaker 17: eliminated last week. Meanwhile, against the Steelers, it was the
Speaker 17: same song for the Miami Dolphins eliminated from the postseason.
Speaker 17: Miami just underperformed. They made up quarterback change and that
Speaker 17: quarterback change is to a tag of Iloa is out
Speaker 17: probably for good in Miami. For Cincinnati, the problem, as
Speaker 17: we all know, was injury. Joe Burrow was out for
Speaker 17: the majority of the season. This is a Joe Burrow
Speaker 17: centric team. And although Joe Flacco came in here kind
Speaker 17: of on a surprise trade and delivering some surprising moments
Speaker 17: for the Bengals, it just wasn't the same. So the Bengals,
Speaker 17: like the Dolphins, are just faced with one thing now
Speaker 17: and that's finishing out the season. And I guess from
Speaker 17: an interest standpoint, because look, the bottom line in any
Speaker 17: sport is winning a championship. There is only one team
Speaker 17: in every single sport that goes home happy at the
Speaker 17: end of the season. It's the team holding the trophy.
Speaker 17: But when you can't compete for that Trophy. Well, it
Speaker 17: makes the sting a little bit well, just a little
Speaker 17: bit worse. And so now with three weeks to go,
Speaker 17: what are the Bengals do Well? They certainly try to
Speaker 17: win all three. That's the name of the game. They're
Speaker 17: paid to win football games. The schedule, as you look
Speaker 17: at it, seems a little forgiving. You have the Dolphins
Speaker 17: today and then back home with the Cardinals who are
Speaker 17: not very good next Sunday, and then of course finishing
Speaker 17: out against the Browns. There are a lot of things
Speaker 17: on the line for the individual players, not Joe Burrow,
Speaker 17: not t Higgins, not Jamar Chase, but the players that
Speaker 17: are fighting for a spot, some kind of favorable review
Speaker 17: at the end of this season to give them a
Speaker 17: chance here or somewhere else to continue their career. Meanwhile,
Speaker 17: the Bengals need answers, a lot of answers, particularly on defense.
Speaker 17: Who exactly is going to help them pull this team
Speaker 17: out of this quagmire that they're in. Where are they
Speaker 17: going to find the right players either through free agency
Speaker 17: or drafting. Drafting has not been all that great for
Speaker 17: this team lately, and free agency is a game they
Speaker 17: always play on the second and third and fourth day
Speaker 17: of free agency. They're not always there. In fact, they're
Speaker 17: rarely there on the first day of free agency. So
Speaker 17: you have to have maybe a philosophical change that gets
Speaker 17: you to a personnel change that gets you to December
Speaker 17: of twenty twenty six, when you're in a much better
Speaker 17: shape than what you are now. That is basically what
Speaker 17: begins today. We'll tee up today's Bengals and Dolphins game.
Speaker 17: You'll hear from players and coaches, some writers around the league,
Speaker 17: some folks that follow football and have opinions like you
Speaker 17: and me as to what needs to be done here
Speaker 17: and what truthfully, realistically can be done here because it's
Speaker 17: not like here in a lot of other NFL towns.
Speaker 17: We'll get to all of that in just a second.
Speaker 17: College football is in the playoff mode right now, and
Speaker 17: we saw some interesting games yesterday, some that were blowout,
Speaker 17: some that had results that I think everybody thought would happen,
Speaker 17: but nevertheless, it was an interesting day in college football.
Speaker 17: People would say at the end of that selection process
Speaker 17: a couple of weeks ago, James Madison University, what do
Speaker 17: they doing there? Two lane? Are you kidding me? And
Speaker 17: those opinions were born out yesterday because at Oregon James Madison,
Speaker 17: although it did put up a lot of offense, winds
Speaker 17: up losing to Oregon fifty one to thirty four. Oregon
Speaker 17: quarterback Dante Moore nineteen of twenty seven, four touchdowns, two interceptions,
Speaker 17: wide receiver Malik Benson five receptions one hundred and nineteen yards,
Speaker 17: and he caught two of those touchdown passes. This game, though,
Speaker 17: was a very entertaining game. There was over one thousand
Speaker 17: yards of total offense between the two teams. But it's
Speaker 17: Oregon that's moving on to take on Texas Tech in
Speaker 17: the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. Meanwhile, Old Mess
Speaker 17: without its coach Lane Kiffen, he of course sailing off
Speaker 17: to LSU at the end of the regular season forty
Speaker 17: one to ten over two Lane Mississippi quarterback Trinid Dad Shambliss,
Speaker 17: who came from FCS, the next level down from FBS,
Speaker 17: the championship level that the University of Cincinnati and Ohio
Speaker 17: State and every other team that's playing for a national
Speaker 17: well for a quote unquote Division title Division one title.
Speaker 17: He came from FCS football and yet comes in Leeds, Georgia.
Speaker 17: I'm sorry, Lead's old Mess to a forty one to
Speaker 17: ten win. Trinidad Chambliss twenty three of twenty nine two
Speaker 17: hundred and eighty two yards, threw for a touchdown, ran
Speaker 17: for a touchdown on a day when his team advances
Speaker 17: and the team that he left wins yet another championship
Speaker 17: at the FCS level. Here's Trinidad Chamberlass at the end
Speaker 17: of that game yesterday.
Speaker 10: It's it's a surreal moment.
Speaker 19: If you would have said this before the season that
Speaker 19: I'd be the starting quarterback and I'd get Ole Miss
Speaker 19: their first playoff victory, I'd be like, you're crazy, But
Speaker 19: it's amazing. I just got to give thanks to God
Speaker 19: because you know, without him, I mean, none of this
Speaker 19: is possible, and just also got it to give thanks
Speaker 19: to Ole Miss and my team to be honest too,
Speaker 19: like we've we've been through a lot, a lot adversity
Speaker 19: and glad that we got the win. And yeah, Farris
Speaker 19: Day actually did win the national championship today, so they'd
Speaker 19: beat Harding back to back years, So props to them.
Speaker 17: Yep, from Farris State to Old Miss to Round two
Speaker 17: of the College Football Playoffs. They take on Georgia in
Speaker 17: the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. Meanwhile, down at
Speaker 17: Texas A and M University, the wind was blowing. It
Speaker 17: was a major factor in this game between Miami and
Speaker 17: Texas A and M. It affected Miami's kicker a little
Speaker 17: bit more than anybody else. Carter Davis lined up for
Speaker 17: four field goals. He made one of them, a twenty
Speaker 17: one yarder, but he made one that was very important
Speaker 17: because Miami beat Texas A and M ten to three,
Speaker 17: and Miami had a terrific game from Mark Fletcher Junior
Speaker 17: seventeen carries one hundred and seventy two yards. His head
Speaker 17: coach Mario Christobal absolutely ecstatic at the end of the game.
Speaker 20: This is awesome.
Speaker 21: It's a next up right and validating what we came
Speaker 21: here to do. So obviously we're excited by the time.
Speaker 3: We end up walking into the locker room, well start.
Speaker 17: Thinking about the next one.
Speaker 21: But again, number one or number two, I said, say
Speaker 21: credit to them.
Speaker 22: Not a great football team over there.
Speaker 21: They're physical of this environment is second to none. But
Speaker 21: the Miami Hurricanes are are just gonna started.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 17: Well we'll see if they're getting started or if they
Speaker 17: hit a roadblock. In game number two, they take on
Speaker 17: Ohio State on New Year's Eve in the Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 17: So there yesterday at Oregon advancing to play Texas Tech
Speaker 17: in the Orange Bowl, Ole Miss going on to play
Speaker 17: Georgia and the Sugar Bowl, and Miami onto the Cotton
Speaker 17: Bowl to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Now Friday night,
Speaker 17: you at Alabama and Oklahoma. Alabama rallied to win this
Speaker 17: game thirty four to twenty four. Quarterback Ty Simpson two
Speaker 17: hundred and thirty two passing yards, two touchdown passes. Oklahoma
Speaker 17: was up seventeen to nothing after the first nineteen minutes
Speaker 17: in this game. And then it went to sleep, and
Speaker 17: then it has really horrible look on special teams. They
Speaker 17: had a punt blocked, they missed two field goals. Meanwhile,
Speaker 17: it was Alabama and head coach Kaylin de Boor cashing
Speaker 17: in on all of that.
Speaker 23: Yeah, just our guys have, like you said, had been
Speaker 23: in it.
Speaker 24: All year long, and and man.
Speaker 23: Just I'm proud of the fight. I know I'm gonna
Speaker 23: get that every single time we step on the football field.
Speaker 23: We had to trade our own breaks a little bit.
Speaker 23: We knew it's gonna be a fist fight.
Speaker 25: We knew it was gonna be.
Speaker 23: A physical game. It would be hard moving the ball,
Speaker 23: but you just got to you just gotta keep playing.
Speaker 17: Meanwhile, over on the Oklahoma side of things, this game
Speaker 17: in their stadium in Norman, Oklahoma, the fans were shocked,
Speaker 17: the players seemed absolutely shocked, and after the game, they're
Speaker 17: head coach Brent Vnnibles was fighting back the tears.
Speaker 26: You know, I had a seventeen point lead, had great momentum,
Speaker 26: and and just we lost the momentum and gave up
Speaker 26: a seventy five yard drive and the third and six
Speaker 26: that we lost leveraging coverage and we gave up a.
Speaker 17: Fourth and two on that drive.
Speaker 26: And you know, Alabama has got a really good football
Speaker 26: team and really good staff, and they were able to
Speaker 26: start to slowly but surely creep back into the game.
Speaker 26: And then then we had a couple of really ill
Speaker 26: timed mistakes that they capitalized on.
Speaker 17: Yeah they did. And now for Oklahoma they go home.
Speaker 17: Alabama moves on to face Indiana in the Rose Bowl
Speaker 17: on New Year's Day. College basketball last night, Xavier goes
Speaker 17: on the road, takes on Georgetown and wins eighty to
Speaker 17: seventy seven. Xavier goes to nine and four one and
Speaker 17: one inside the Big East. Trey Carroll was huge in
Speaker 17: this game to set an early tempo for Xavier twenty
Speaker 17: two points, eight rebounds, four assists, and then off the bench,
Speaker 17: Roddy Anderson contributed fourteen points. But here's the key. Xavier
Speaker 17: out rebounded Georgetown forty five thirty six. Look, Georgetown, going
Speaker 17: back to the days of John Thompson, has always had
Speaker 17: a reputation as a physical basketball team. If you don't
Speaker 17: win the boards, you don't win against Georgetown, especially when
Speaker 17: you play out in the nation's capital. It's exactly what
Speaker 17: Xavier did. They beat them on the boards forty five
Speaker 17: to thirty six. After the game, Richard Patino on the
Speaker 17: thing that he wanted to look to deliver most of
Speaker 17: his team, it was a three pronged thing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 6: I mean that's what I had a couple of offensive keys,
Speaker 6: I had a couple of defensive keys, and then the
Speaker 6: last thing I said was toughness. That's what matters. And
Speaker 6: our guys did a great job. You know, we're going
Speaker 6: to play a lot of teams that are bigger than us,
Speaker 6: but we scrapped and fought and won the rebounding battle.
Speaker 17: Yep and Xavier's next game New Year's Eve against Yukon.
Speaker 17: That was a very impressive win for them last night
Speaker 17: out in Washington, DC. Also, Miami is now twelve and
Speaker 17: oh Travis Steel has got it going on up in
Speaker 17: Oxford eighty six seventy seven over ball state the icelander
Speaker 17: Almore Atlassen off the bench eight for fourteen and twenty
Speaker 17: six points. Monumental effort from him. But get this as
Speaker 17: a team. This kind of highlights why Miami is all
Speaker 17: to an incredible and historic start. They shot fifty percent
Speaker 17: from the field, fifty four percent from three point range.
Speaker 17: They were thirteen of twenty four and twenty one of
Speaker 17: twenty two from the free throw line. That mister grand
Speaker 17: total of one free throw twelve and zero one And oh,
Speaker 17: now in the mac got some college basketball around here
Speaker 17: today three o'clock here on seven hundred WYLWUC at seven
Speaker 17: and four goes to Clemson. Actually they go to Greenville,
Speaker 17: South Carolina to play Clemson. Clemson is nine and three.
Speaker 17: Pretty good basketball team seeing the two of their games
Speaker 17: so far this year, Clemson will be a handful for
Speaker 17: U see and then at NKU at noon, the College
Speaker 17: of Charleston takes on the Norse. Chris mack head coach
Speaker 17: at the College of Charleston, coming back to the area.
Speaker 17: His team is six and six NKU nine and four.
Speaker 17: So there's basketball, there's football from the college standpoint, and
Speaker 17: standby will dive deep into the Bengals and Dolphins. Next,

Speaker 17: in the eighties at kickwoff, time, Dolphins are six and eight,
Speaker 17: both teams eliminated, and the weather decidedly different than what
Speaker 17: it was here last Sunday when they took on the Ravens.
Speaker 17: Let's hope the outcome is a little bit different as well.
Speaker 17: So the Bengals are out of it. Joe Burrow denied
Speaker 17: yet again a chance to play in the postseason. Now,
Speaker 17: as I said earlier, a lot of that has to
Speaker 17: do with the fact that he missed all of those
Speaker 17: games because of his toe injury and subsequent surgery. Something
Speaker 17: that has plagued Burrow throughout his career is injury, season
Speaker 17: ending injury. This one, he worked his butt off to
Speaker 17: come back and finish the season, and as admirable as
Speaker 17: that was, it was a season that was probably doomed
Speaker 17: long before Burrow got back on the field. Nevertheless, Zach
Speaker 17: Taylor this week, who revealed that he has two years well,
Speaker 17: actually he didn't. The digging of Paul Dayner Junior at
Speaker 17: the Athletic revealed that he had two years remaining on
Speaker 17: his contract here with the Bengals. Zach Taylor says he
Speaker 17: still believes and still thinks that the core is here
Speaker 17: for this team to turn it around. In twenty six
Speaker 17: and make a run.
Speaker 39: I got a ton of belief in our coaching staff,
Speaker 39: our scouting department, our ownership that we are very much
Speaker 39: in alignment with every decision we've ever made here, and
Speaker 39: so again it when things haven't been good enough over
Speaker 39: of course this season, there's really no one to blame
Speaker 39: other than me, truthfully, and so I know we all
Speaker 39: play a piece of this, but I'm the guy to
Speaker 39: get to sit there and talk to the team every
Speaker 39: single week and present plans and make in game decisions,
Speaker 39: and so frustrating that I haven't done anything job this year,
Speaker 39: but a ton of confidence, and maybe it rings hollow
Speaker 39: to everyone listening, but I know that we've been here
Speaker 39: before and I've seen how we can get out the
Speaker 39: other side. I'm very confident we're going to get the
Speaker 39: nice Well.
Speaker 17: See, it's one thing to say it, it's another thing
Speaker 17: for it to happen, and it's another thing for the
Speaker 17: people that he's provided with by Duke Tobin and ultimately
Speaker 17: signed off on by the Brown family. It's ultimately all
Speaker 17: of that that goes into whether or not this team
Speaker 17: can turn it around or not. Let's face it, all
Speaker 17: of their money is on the offensive side of the football.
Speaker 17: On defense, they went draft picks and they went young,
Speaker 17: and in free agency they bottom fed and it didn't work.
Speaker 17: So now they've got to come up with some sort
Speaker 17: of plan to retain those they need and yet go
Speaker 17: out and try and harvest a free agent market and
Speaker 17: draft better than what they've done here recently. But for
Speaker 17: the players, it's it's finishing out a season, and a
Speaker 17: lot of that is pride for the stars to prove
Speaker 17: that they're worth the money they're being paid, and for
Speaker 17: the other players that fill out a fifty three man roster,
Speaker 17: it's to prove that if not here, but somewhere they belong.
Speaker 17: Jamar Chase on all of that earlier this week, they're.
Speaker 40: Just trying to finish strong, finish out, will win, and
Speaker 40: I just keep playing at the end of the day,
Speaker 40: just make sure we finished strong. Can't go out there
Speaker 40: and amvess in oursells the organization. We were putting ourselves
Speaker 40: out there.
Speaker 17: But here's here. Here is the quote I think that
Speaker 17: I carried this week when trying to figure out whether
Speaker 17: or not this team is cashed in for this year
Speaker 17: or is going out and trying, as Chase just said
Speaker 17: to acquit themselves well, not necessarily not embarrass themselves, but
Speaker 17: to show what time kind of talent they are. This
Speaker 17: is Dalton Reisner, and I think this hopefully encapsulates what
Speaker 17: this team is hopefully going to do over the course
Speaker 17: of the next three games. Dalton Reisner, I.
Speaker 41: Mean, we all know that we're both out of playoff contention.
Speaker 41: There's a lot to play for. I mean, I said
Speaker 41: this last week. I don't speak for the team, but
Speaker 41: I know this is the mindset of the team is
Speaker 41: we get to be Cincinnati Bengals. We get to wear
Speaker 41: the stripes, we get to go represent ourselves, but even
Speaker 41: more importantly, we get to go represent the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 41: on Sunday. So anytime I'm putting on the stripes, I
Speaker 41: don't care if playoffs are on the line or not.
Speaker 41: I'm going out there. I have so much to play for.
Speaker 41: This is this is a blessing, and if you take
Speaker 41: it for granted, you you ain't gonna be in this
Speaker 41: league for long. So there's a lot to play for.
Speaker 41: On Sunday, I'm excited to go play the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be ready to go.
Speaker 17: Meanwhile, in Miami, we're A source told ESPN yesterday that
Speaker 17: prior to the twenty twenty draft, the Dolphins called the
Speaker 17: Bengals and offered them four first round draft picks if
Speaker 17: the Bengals would have given them the number one overall
Speaker 17: pick in the twenty twenty draft, obviously the draft that
Speaker 17: brought Joe Burrow. Here, the Bengals said no and did
Speaker 17: not entertain the conversation any further than that. But imagine that.
Speaker 17: Imagine if the Bengals did not get Burrow, and imagine
Speaker 17: if they had a settle for two at Tagaba Looe,
Speaker 17: who had some nice seasons. I'm not putting the guy
Speaker 17: down completely, but basically has regressed completely to a point
Speaker 17: where's head coach Mike McDaniel had to bench him this
Speaker 17: week in favor of a guy that hasn't taken a
Speaker 17: snap in a meaningful NFL game. Here's McDaniel.
Speaker 42: So the decision is complicated but simple. The simple pieces.
Speaker 42: I think Quinn gives this team the best chance to win.
Speaker 42: You know, our focuses obviously to win the next three games,
Speaker 42: but in particular, like I tell the players, we are
Speaker 42: focused on beating the Bengals. So that was the motivation.
Speaker 42: Zach will be backing them up and two will be
Speaker 42: the emergency.
Speaker 17: Uh uh. That was a man that seemed very uncomfortable,
Speaker 17: a guy that may be on his way out the
Speaker 17: door in Miami as well. Well, we don't get to
Speaker 17: it today. Quinn Yours, who has bounced around college football
Speaker 17: Ohio State, Texas and was drafted late in the draft

Speaker 17: Fore Zach Tednor was on the Miami Dolphins coaching staff
Speaker 17: for four seasons, rising to interim offensive coordinator all the
Speaker 17: way back in twenty fifteen before he headed out west
Speaker 17: to join Sean McVay in the Los Angeles Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 17: There's a connection. Here's another connection in this game. Number
Speaker 17: one overall pick in twenty twenty Joe Burrow and as
Speaker 17: I mentioned in the last half hour before the draft,
Speaker 17: story surfaced last night that before the draft, the Dolphins
Speaker 17: offered four first round draft picks to the Bengals, in
Speaker 17: exchange for that number one overall pick, and the Bengals
Speaker 17: thankfully said no. And then after that, four picks later,
Speaker 17: the Dolphins took two at tag of my law. They
Speaker 17: passed on Justin Herbert, who went immediately after that, and
Speaker 17: they also passed on Jordan Love who went late first round.
Speaker 17: And I'm sure that they're thinking about things like that,
Speaker 17: or even passing on Jalen Hurts, who went later in
Speaker 17: the draft round two, fifty third overall pick. But Tua
Speaker 17: is benched today. Tua will not play unless injury dictates.
Speaker 17: He is the third quarterback, the emergency quarterback for this game.
Speaker 17: You got benched, and he's not happy about it.
Speaker 53: Say I'm disappointed. I think it's normal, it's normal human emotion.
Speaker 53: But you know, outside of that, I got to do
Speaker 53: my part. My role here right now is to help
Speaker 53: whoever the quarterback is going to be for this team,
Speaker 53: to lead this team, help in whatever way I can,
Speaker 53: you know, to help the team win win this game.
Speaker 17: On Sunday. Yeah, we'll see Quinn yours not long in
Speaker 17: the tooth, and quite frankly, I would be surprised if
Speaker 17: Al Golden's defense doesn't simply bring it against him, confuse
Speaker 17: him in the secondary. Bring it. It hasn't been a
Speaker 17: stellar year for Al Golden or his defense, but you
Speaker 17: would think they throw everything they got at the kid.
Speaker 17: Let's check out the delivery of last week's game, brought
Speaker 17: to you by RNL Carriers. Visit ORLC dot com. Make
Speaker 17: RNL Carriers your global transportation provider. Look, it didn't score
Speaker 17: a point all last week, so the delivery of the
Speaker 17: game is probably an infamous one. But nevertheless, let's make
Speaker 17: it a Lohi Gilman quarterback a quarterback, I'm sorry for
Speaker 17: the for the Baltimore Ravens, a Lohi Gilman takes a
Speaker 17: pitch and returns it eighty four yards on an interception return.
Speaker 17: So classic play. If it didn't work, it would have
Speaker 17: been one of the all time bonehead moves on defense.
Speaker 17: But nevertheless, it worked, and off the pitch on an interception,
Speaker 17: a Lohi Gilman eighty four yard interception return twenty four
Speaker 17: to nothing, Ravens over the Bengals. At CBS Sports, Mike
Speaker 17: Renner is their guru when it comes to the draft.
Speaker 17: He's already working on twenty twenty six, and unfortunately, that's
Speaker 17: what the future holds for the Bengals, not just three
Speaker 17: games to finish out the season, but also the twenty
Speaker 17: twenty six draft. Mike Renner's Sundays are very busy. Nevertheless,
Speaker 17: the Guru is going to carve out some time for
Speaker 17: us here on seven hundred WLW today as we continue
Speaker 17: with the pregame show and Mike Renner, how are you
Speaker 17: on this glorious Sunday.
Speaker 10: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. Ken.
Speaker 17: I'm glad you're here because you do see all and
Speaker 17: know all about the draft. Now, let me just ask
Speaker 17: you this. If you look at the Bengals right now,
Speaker 17: we'll get into your mock draft that just came out,
Speaker 17: but as you look at the Bengals right now, and
Speaker 17: you had the ability to start rebuilding this team, particularly
Speaker 17: on the defensive side of the ball, of all the
Speaker 17: eleven positions on the defensive side of the ball, regardless
Speaker 17: of who's available when when you pick, we're just going
Speaker 17: to talk best case scenario. Where would you begin.
Speaker 10: I think defensive tackle.
Speaker 54: I think getting a real impact guy there to make
Speaker 54: the linebackers look better, secondary look better, if you can
Speaker 54: rush the passer. You know ideally you want edge help too,
Speaker 54: but you've used first rounders there to the last three years,
Speaker 54: so it'd be hard to say, let's go address that
Speaker 54: again in the first round. But defensive tackles where it's like, okay,
Speaker 54: we if we we've invested sub draft appital, not a
Speaker 54: whole lot, we have some vets, they're kind of aging out.
Speaker 10: I think that's.
Speaker 54: Where one certified dude would really make this whole defense
Speaker 54: look a lot better and probably where I look first
Speaker 54: to address.
Speaker 17: Yeah, they've tried, right, I mean Chris Jenkins, they tried
Speaker 17: with him, McKinley Jackson, they brought bj hillback, but that
Speaker 17: has been a chronic problem for them. They also need
Speaker 17: edge rusher who knows if Joseph Osaiah is coming back?
Speaker 17: And Trey Hendrickson I think confirmed at least in the
Speaker 17: in the the Browns family's mind that you don't invest
Speaker 17: in players heavily after they turn thirty. Whether that's right
Speaker 17: or wrong, that theory for them I think has been
Speaker 17: certified with what happened this year with the Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 17: But Ken, if you've got an I at edge that's
Speaker 17: available when you pick, and right now you have them
Speaker 17: picking top ten in this upcoming draft, what an edge guy,
Speaker 17: Trump an interior guy. Even if the edge guy is
Speaker 17: a little bit of a reach, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think so.
Speaker 54: I think I still look at her. But out in
Speaker 54: this class specifically, there are going to be more edge gaps,
Speaker 54: and in this class actually there's a lot of what
Speaker 54: I call edge hybrids. There's a lot of guys who
Speaker 54: are edge players in college, but they're like two hundred
Speaker 54: and seventy five two and eighty five pounds at In
Speaker 54: the NFL, that's the defensive tackle nowadays, So there are
Speaker 54: a lot of and they sometimes moonlight there, whether it's
Speaker 54: Ruben Bain from Miami, whether it's Keldric Fall from Auburn.
Speaker 54: That those guys could be NFL dp's and I don't
Speaker 54: think anyone bad and I given their body types, so.
Speaker 10: That would be an interesting thought for them.
Speaker 54: Is a guy who could kind of do both, who
Speaker 54: could really bridge that gap, and especially with the way
Speaker 54: defensive fronts are going in the NFL, you want flexibility
Speaker 54: from those guys. Schmar Stewart kind of has a little
Speaker 54: bit of that. I don't think bals Murphy does, but
Speaker 54: like that's an addition that you could get all three
Speaker 54: of them on the field. Then at that point, all
Speaker 54: three of those former first hundreds.
Speaker 17: You know, like anything in life, in football, you never
Speaker 17: stopped paying for a mistake. And they paid for a
Speaker 17: very long time to try and find an answer to
Speaker 17: Andrew Whitworth, whom they let go, and we saw what
Speaker 17: happened after they let him go. Jesse Bates. They have
Speaker 17: tried to figure out a way to replace Jesse Bates
Speaker 17: when it would have been just more prudent to hang
Speaker 17: on to Jesse Bates. Right now in you're a mock draft,
Speaker 17: and I know these things are fluid and we're still
Speaker 17: months away from the draft, but you have the Bengals
Speaker 17: picking ninth overall in round one, and you have Caleb Downs,
Speaker 17: the great safety from Ohio State. And I don't emphasize
Speaker 17: the words a great enough when we talk about this guy.
Speaker 17: He is. He is the real deal. If Caleb Downs
Speaker 17: falls to the Bengals and they are indeed picking ninth overall,
Speaker 17: to me, that's a no brainer. Is it a no
Speaker 17: brainer to you?
Speaker 10: I think it's pretty much a no brainer.
Speaker 54: The only way again I change that is if either
Speaker 54: address safety and free agency, or if you know a
Speaker 54: different need position falls to them and something that you
Speaker 54: didn't expect. But to me, he's a top ten pick
Speaker 54: sword in safety. Those don't come around every year. Probably
Speaker 54: the last one was Kyle Hamilton, and he even did
Speaker 54: go top ten, even though I can call him top
Speaker 54: ten pick.
Speaker 10: But like those guys, you know it when you see it.
Speaker 54: And a lot of Bengals fans probably familiar with Ohio
Speaker 54: State as well. It's like he has transform that defense
Speaker 54: he transferred from Alabama, his ability to just cover grounds, tackle,
Speaker 54: be reliable. It's like all the things we lament this
Speaker 54: angle secondary for not being.
Speaker 10: Able to do. He is that guy.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and again a difference maker, There's no question about it.
Speaker 17: As I look at your draft, you have the number
Speaker 17: one overall pick going to the Jets and that would
Speaker 17: be Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza obviously is terrific. This pick is
Speaker 17: predicated on a trade with the Giants. The Giants have
Speaker 17: Jackson Dart so obviously they're not looking for a quarterback
Speaker 17: in this particular draft. But if Mendoza does indeed go
Speaker 17: to New York and plays for the Jets, and this
Speaker 17: is I guess more I don't know anecdotal than it
Speaker 17: is based in evidence, But that's a tough place to
Speaker 17: be a quarterback. Mendoza seems like a really young guy.
Speaker 17: I mean, he just seems like he comes off as young,
Speaker 17: and he comes off as a little naive. I'm afraid
Speaker 17: the New York media, in addition to the fan base,
Speaker 17: and to eat this guy up if he's not not
Speaker 17: successful out of the shoot. Do you think Mendoza could
Speaker 17: survive in that environment?
Speaker 54: Actually, you know, me being this draft analyst, just focusing
Speaker 54: on you know, the skill set and the fit and
Speaker 54: the offense.
Speaker 10: That's not something I had ever even like occurred to me.
Speaker 10: But you're right.
Speaker 54: I mean when you watch Mendoza talk and when you
Speaker 54: hear him speak about he's very it all comes off
Speaker 54: as like nerdy, right, Like he has a very academic
Speaker 54: way he looks at the game of football, and yeah,
Speaker 54: it's gonna be it's going to a media market where
Speaker 54: any of all of those things that he says is
Speaker 54: going to be torn apart every which way by millions
Speaker 54: of people after every game.
Speaker 10: So yeah, it's not the ideal fit. You know, Ideally
Speaker 10: one of.
Speaker 54: Those guys you know kind of seton Herbert I think
Speaker 54: has like a similar sort of vibe. I see those
Speaker 54: guys go to a small market and you don't really
Speaker 54: hear from them, you don't get to hear the quotes
Speaker 54: from them, and it doesn't really matter, and then they
Speaker 54: can be successful. But yeah, I guess that is the
Speaker 54: thing that for him specifically, you might worry about in
Speaker 54: a bigger market.
Speaker 17: He's he's obviously wildly talented, but he comes off as
Speaker 17: a high school junior. I mean when you just watch
Speaker 17: these these interviews, I worry about a little bit. You
Speaker 17: have Carnell Tait in your your mock draft going to
Speaker 17: the Browns. Of course tit is is just absolutely terrific,
Speaker 17: paired up at Ohio State with Jeremiah Smith. But what
Speaker 17: in the in in the case of Tate that would
Speaker 17: be an inordinate upgrade at wide receiver. Do you think
Speaker 17: he'd actually fall to uh to four overall or do
Speaker 17: you think that somebody may and that that somebody may
Speaker 17: be uh maybe the Titans, I mean they need a
Speaker 17: receiver there, the Raiders need a quarterback. You have Dante
Speaker 17: Moore going there with a second overall pick. But do
Speaker 17: you think the Browns would be tempted enough to take
Speaker 17: Tate at four overall?
Speaker 54: I do, and specifically for the Browns. He's just like
Speaker 54: what they're missing. They don't have one a guy who
Speaker 54: can really make contested catches consistently on the outside. I
Speaker 54: mean just last week that Jared Judy like gave the
Speaker 54: ball to the cornerback. He's kind of your post boy
Speaker 54: for a lack of ball skills at the position, and
Speaker 54: he's had a lot of spled to a lot of
Speaker 54: incompletions this year. I think don't really have that vertical
Speaker 54: threat either. I mean, Isaiah Bond's kind of been, but
Speaker 54: he's very small. He's kind of just a vertical threat.
Speaker 54: And to me, Carnal takes your number one sort of
Speaker 54: X wide receiver on the outside that can win those
Speaker 54: routes consistently. So for them specifically, it's not too high.
Speaker 54: I mean, just the fact that he's playing next year,
Speaker 54: my Smith, I think underrate him. Hembery will be the
Speaker 54: second best wide receiver in the country. It's just that
Speaker 54: his teammate is the best.
Speaker 17: Yeah, And as you point out in your analysis there,
Speaker 17: he has it had a single drop all year. Mike
Speaker 17: Renner the draft guru at cbssports dot com. Mike also
Speaker 17: a terrific writer about other things in his own right.
Speaker 17: We have the Bengals Dolphins later this afternoon. Quinn Yours
Speaker 17: is going to quarterback the Dolphins. I'm not sure what
Speaker 17: the motivation is there for Mike McDonald other than to
Speaker 17: get too of Tago by a little off the field
Speaker 17: and on the bench. But as you look at as
Speaker 17: you look at this game today, and people tend to
Speaker 17: write off games that aren't important to a playoff chase.
Speaker 17: The playoffs run everything. But I think this is I
Speaker 17: think these next three games are important to the Bengals
Speaker 17: to try and get Shamar Stewart on the field, get
Speaker 17: some plays under his belt, and to just get Joe
Speaker 17: Burrow right again. People say, what do you play at
Speaker 17: Burrow for? Well, he's paid to play football, he's paid
Speaker 17: to win games. So I'm not writing off these last
Speaker 17: three games. But I have limited expectations. Of course. What
Speaker 17: about you and this team today against Miami.
Speaker 54: Yeah, I think the first thing you said there about
Speaker 54: Shamar Stewart and truly just all these young guys defensively
Speaker 54: is what you care about right now, because you know
Speaker 54: they have been better from where they're at midseason, when
Speaker 54: they're on pace to break the record for most points
Speaker 54: aloud or whatever.
Speaker 10: But you want to see.
Speaker 54: Improvement from these young guys because that so we just
Speaker 54: kind of talked off the top about this defense. It's
Speaker 54: a lot of guys you've drafted highly in the last
Speaker 54: four years, a lot of rookie contra So that's why
Speaker 54: it's hard to really pinpoint where do you attack, because well,
Speaker 54: you're kind of still hoping that this cornerback takes a
Speaker 54: step forward, your linebackers that are real his take a
Speaker 54: step forward, your first round edges take a step forward.
Speaker 54: So it's like, that's what you want to see those
Speaker 54: guys take a step forward. These next three games actually
Speaker 54: show you something because if not every position of the
Speaker 54: defense is truly a need at this point with the
Speaker 54: way they've looked this season.
Speaker 17: Boy, if that's not the truth. The truth is what
Speaker 17: you get when you want anything related to sports at
Speaker 17: cbssports dot com, and here is the purveyor of the
Speaker 17: truth on the NFL Draft. Mike Rennert's always great catching
Speaker 17: up with you. I know we'll talk down the road.
Speaker 17: Merry Christmas to you and your family and for your
Speaker 17: time today.
Speaker 10: We thank you, Mary. Christmas to you as well. Ken,
Speaker 10: thank you so much.
Speaker 17: That man you bet there he is and he's he's
Speaker 17: must must destinate. He must read destination right now. Unfortunately,
Speaker 17: but that's where the Bengals find themselves. Yeah, go back
Speaker 17: to twenty twenty in that draft on the heels of
Speaker 17: a twenty nineteen season, not to resurrect bad memories, but
Speaker 17: we all know what the Bengals were in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 17: They finished two and fourteen that year, got right down
Speaker 17: of the wire in that game against the Dolphins. I
Speaker 17: remember vividly as that game went to overtime and Andy
Speaker 17: Dalton is standing next to Zach Taylor, rookie head coach,
Speaker 17: and they were both kind of laughing, like, Man, if
Speaker 17: we messed this thing up and win this game in overtime,
Speaker 17: we're gonna We're gonna miss out on Joe Burrow. But
Speaker 17: in that draft in twenty twenty, Bengals first Burrow Redskins
Speaker 17: they were then known as the Redskins Redskins. Second, Chase
Speaker 17: Young Third, Detroit went with a cornerback Jeff Acota Andrew Thomas.
Speaker 17: A tackling on a good one from Georgia went to
Speaker 17: the Giants fourth overall that year and fifth overall to
Speaker 17: the Dolphins was to attack of Ilola you win that
Speaker 17: game in Miami and that draft is turned upside down,
Speaker 17: but it turned out differently and Burrow fight. The fact
Speaker 17: that he says cryptic things now remains with your Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 17: Nine six News Radio seven hundred WLWRNL carriers pregame show
Speaker 17: presented by your Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Toyota Dealer. Let's Salute,
Speaker 17: Salute the Performer of the Week, brought to you by
Speaker 17: Crown Royal, the official whiskey of the Bengals, bringing the
Speaker 17: spirit to every game this season. Performer of the Week, Well,
Speaker 17: it's an interesting thing. Let's let's go back and take
Speaker 17: a look. Let's look at receiving. And I want to
Speaker 17: highlight a guy that had what I thought was just
Speaker 17: a stellar, stellar week, and that was Kyle Pitts side
Speaker 17: end Atlanta Falcons. Last week. His team beat the Bucks.
Speaker 17: It was a Thursday night game, twenty nine, twenty eight.
Speaker 17: In that game, Kyle Pitts Senior eleven receptions, won one
Speaker 17: hundred and sixty six yards and three touchdown receptions. Kyle
Speaker 17: Pitts sor he's the performer of the week. There's no
Speaker 17: question about that. In my mind, when it comes to
Speaker 17: catching the ball, mayhaps it will be Jamar Carter, Jamark Chase.
Speaker 17: If indeed the Bengals can turn the flame up on
Speaker 17: the Dolphins defense today down in Miami, we'll see maybe
Speaker 17: so maybe, no, maybe next week. Time to look at
Speaker 17: who's hot in the NFL. And that's brought to you
Speaker 17: by plumb tight, fast response times and no service fees. Well,
Speaker 17: I mean you have your passing leaders, your rushing leaders,
Speaker 17: your receiving leaders. How about Miles Garrettles Garrett made a
Speaker 17: boatload of money in the offseason, signed that contract, paying
Speaker 17: him thirty five thirty six million dollars a year. Miles
Speaker 17: Garrett is one sack away from the NFL record for
Speaker 17: most sacks in one season that has stood for twenty
Speaker 17: four seasons. Michael Strahan has twenty two and a half sacks.
Speaker 17: He achieved that in two thousand and one. Miles Garrett
Speaker 17: going into today's game at home against Buffalo, Miles Garrett
Speaker 17: with twenty one and a half sacks. That's who's hot
Speaker 17: in the NFL. You pair that with the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 17: who were just absolutely motoring right along, having won eleven
Speaker 17: in a Row Denver at home today for a four
Speaker 17: o'clock start against Jacksonville, Denver giving three and a half
Speaker 17: on that day. Joe Burrow another week, another news conference,
Speaker 17: and you know the media in whenever they smell uncertainty
Speaker 17: or something that's off, they'll hone in on. It doesn't
Speaker 17: matter whether it's Cincinnati, New York, Los Angelesia coll it
Speaker 17: doesn't matter. So Burrow, who was talking about not having
Speaker 17: fun and almost questioning his longevity in the NFL a
Speaker 17: week ago, this week, this past week, was asked, could
Speaker 17: you ever envision yourself playing for another team other than
Speaker 17: the Cincinnati Bengals. This was Joe's answer.
Speaker 61: Yeah, A lot of crazy things happen every year. Michael
Speaker 61: Parsons got traded right before, right before the season. I
Speaker 61: think this year that is a something I hadn't seen
Speaker 61: in a long time in the NFL. So crazy things
Speaker 61: gonna happen.
Speaker 17: It's an honest answer. It's an honest answer. Teams move
Speaker 17: on from players they feel are no longer a fit
Speaker 17: ownership sometimes change just coaches, sometimes changes. Players sometimes aren't
Speaker 17: performing as well as they did early in their career.
Speaker 17: I don't think you have any worries about Joe Burrow
Speaker 17: going anywhere anytime soon. The Bengals simply will not. They're not.
Speaker 17: It's this is a Joe centric team and the analogies
Speaker 17: to Carson Palmer don't fit. No, that's that's not happening.
Speaker 17: He may be thinking about life and what life will
Speaker 17: be like down the road, But for the Bengals, no,
Speaker 17: they're thinking about what happens today in Miami. When we
Speaker 17: come back. Will be joined by Ian artist Matthew Berry.

Speaker 17: they probably have a lot to do with how each
Speaker 17: other will perform today. First spotlight Player Miles Murphy. Up
Speaker 17: until the latter half of this season, Miles Murphy was viewed,
Speaker 17: I think by most players, by most people, media, whatever.
Speaker 17: I think he was viewed by most people as a
Speaker 17: whiff that he hadn't contributed the way a first round
Speaker 17: draft pick should contribute, and because of that, there was
Speaker 17: great questions about the Bengals going forward at the edge,
Speaker 17: Trey Hendrickson on a one year deal and Murphy underperforming.
Speaker 17: Murphy had two sacks in that game last week against Baltimore,
Speaker 17: acquitted himself very well with a lot of other quarterback hurries.
Speaker 17: He's in the spotlight today because not only can he
Speaker 17: bring the heat. Also, Quinn Ewers is starting from Miami today,
Speaker 17: not two otagoa loa, and yours making his first NFL start.
Speaker 17: We'll probably have, as Sam Weisch used to say about
Speaker 17: young players, eyeballs as big as saucer cups. As for yours,
Speaker 17: he's excited about today, as you will would almost expect
Speaker 17: he would be.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 70: I mean, it's a dream come true for me. I've
Speaker 70: always wanted to have the opportunity to play in the
Speaker 70: NFL and for that to for that to be coming
Speaker 70: is just truly a blessing, and I'm thankful for the opportunity.
Speaker 10: I was happy.
Speaker 17: Well, we'll see how thankful he is if the Bengals
Speaker 17: can tee off on him. But those are our spotlight players.
Speaker 17: And we thank again Furniture Fair for being with us
Speaker 17: all these games of this season. All Right, we have
Speaker 17: a guy that joins us a lot, and I like

Speaker 17: Footballfocus dot Com and a guy that knows sports inside out,
Speaker 17: but particularly football and oftentimes, as we know in football,
Speaker 17: fantasy interjects itself into reality. So I wanted to get
Speaker 17: him on today to talk about why things went south
Speaker 17: with the Bengals this year and is the obvious answer
Speaker 17: a little too easy? So let's bring them out in
Speaker 17: Ian hartits how are you on this glorious Sunday?
Speaker 71: It is a great day to be great. Can always
Speaker 71: want to get to talk to you as well, so
Speaker 71: appreciate you having me on as always.
Speaker 10: And yeah, I would say a tough.
Speaker 71: One for the Bangles. Spent a couple of years my
Speaker 71: life living in since I'm in Columbus now, so maybe.
Speaker 10: Not the same.
Speaker 71: But I will say despite again just a down season. Okay,
Speaker 71: Joe Burrow, you still like Jamar Chase and as much
Speaker 71: as you've been hanging on to Acty last few years,
Speaker 71: that still is a pretty darn kick start routes as well?
Speaker 17: At when did it fall apart for this team? Is
Speaker 17: it too easy to say that it all ended when
Speaker 17: Joe Burrow got hurt in game number two of this season.
Speaker 17: Game one, they were lucky to be Cleveland. I mean,
Speaker 17: the Cleveland kicker missed several significant kicks and Jacksonville had
Speaker 17: their way with Cincinnati up until Burrow got hurt, and somehow,
Speaker 17: some way, you know, the Bengals came back and won
Speaker 17: that game. I'm just I'm wondering, is it too easy
Speaker 17: to say that this season got torpedoed when Burrow went
Speaker 17: down or is that the exact reason why it got
Speaker 17: torpedoed more or less?
Speaker 71: I think the time when you really had to stop
Speaker 71: dreaming about the possibility of Burrow making that return kind
Speaker 71: of leading them, you know, back into contention was just
Speaker 71: you know, losing those back to back and against jackson
Speaker 71: Baar offense, those coint thirty eight plus points on berthaccasion,
Speaker 71: that just made it really tough to come back from.
Speaker 71: But even with all that in mind, man like the
Speaker 71: playoff percentage were starting to look a little bit enticing,
Speaker 71: you know, around that ten minute mark in that Bill's game.
Speaker 71: But unfortunately, you know, a couple of great plays, a
Speaker 71: couple of fluxes by that Bill defense turns turn things
Speaker 71: around the hurry. So look, I when you have Burrow,
Speaker 71: you got Chase, I get it. Sixty minutes of football
Speaker 71: and then they can compete with anyone. But just they
Speaker 71: the margins are so thin, you know, regarding the air
Speaker 71: that they can make. When you just have the defense,
Speaker 71: it's going to be giving up thirty five plus to
Speaker 71: any offense you know what aren't out there. So you know,
Speaker 71: Trey Henderson being out for this, you know majority of
Speaker 71: the season hasn't helped matter as well. I just think again,
Speaker 71: you were you were asking Burrow and Chase and Piegans,
Speaker 71: we've been acting to basically have their superman caps on
Speaker 71: each and every week to have a chance. And you know,
Speaker 71: it's pretty hard to do when you're facing teams like
Speaker 71: the Bill like the Ravens, you know, even the Patriots. Now,
Speaker 71: just I think when you kind of go to a
Speaker 71: position group by position group really do hold far more days.
Speaker 17: Well, they were failing to address the needs on defense
Speaker 17: in the last free agents period in March of twenty
Speaker 17: twenty five. I said, look, it's great, you have Burrow,
Speaker 17: it's great, you have Chase, Great, you have Higgins, you
Speaker 17: got Chase Brown. It's not fantasy football. You've got to
Speaker 17: block and you got to tackle in this game to win.
Speaker 17: And it's one thing to say that this offense can
Speaker 17: deliver thirty five, thirty eight points a week. It's another
Speaker 17: thing to have to deliver thirty eight points per week.
Speaker 17: Everybody said, oh, you're crazy, this team can stay with anybody.
Speaker 7: This is that.
Speaker 17: No, it isn't, because your offense isn't on every single week. Now,
Speaker 17: they did have some games where they delivered forty points
Speaker 17: a week and lost, But I do think that this
Speaker 17: was a giant miscalculation on their part on the defensive
Speaker 17: side of the football.
Speaker 3: Would you agree, yeah?
Speaker 71: And I mean you look at them last three years,
Speaker 71: ever since losing Jesse bas In my thirty first point sets.
Speaker 71: Now this year's thirty second just total yards allowed and you.
Speaker 10: Want to say, well, how can we not better?
Speaker 3: But well, what.
Speaker 71: Would make you think they were going to be better overall? Again,
Speaker 71: outside of Trey Henderson doing his thing, but when he's
Speaker 71: banks up, this is the sixth cheapest defense you know
Speaker 71: in the NFL and twenty twenty five and even looking
Speaker 71: at twenty twenty six dollars, it only gets worse. So
Speaker 71: we do see teams like the Rams and the Charges
Speaker 71: out in Massangeles They've done a great job hitting on
Speaker 71: a lot of their rookie picks, and they also have
Speaker 71: very cheap defenses, and they still managed to actually put
Speaker 71: forward you know, far better obviously, you know, minis on
Speaker 71: the field than what the Bangles have had. So I
Speaker 71: think at the group effort, obviously al Bowlden didn't exactly
Speaker 71: fix that defense, you know, schematically the way and that
Speaker 71: we were hoping. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 71: I do tend to lean towards the Timmis and Joe's,
Speaker 71: you know, making more of an unpacked many acts, and
Speaker 71: that was out there. So man, he just looks after
Speaker 71: these last teams after in particular, and almost every single
Speaker 71: top one hundred picks has been a whift. And again
Speaker 71: the injuries play a role, but Krischa mar Stewart not
Speaker 71: getting anything going on, Demetrius Night's PFF's third worst. You know,
Speaker 71: greater linebackers this year. Haven't seen much from Chris Jacksons
Speaker 71: and mckillley Jackson, and then even the offensive line. Then
Speaker 71: you know, then fair Child not exactly all pros out there.
Speaker 71: Pert Is, I haven't on the freaking team anymore, so
Speaker 71: one with after another, I think when you string together.
Speaker 71: You know, multiple draft clauses in a row. You're not
Speaker 71: getting any difference makers. I mean, these are sort of
Speaker 71: seasons I catch.
Speaker 24: Up to you.
Speaker 17: All right, I'm going to anoint you the general manager
Speaker 17: of the Bengals just for this moment. Ian Hardens is
Speaker 17: the general manager. He reports only to Mike Brown, and
Speaker 17: the Bengals are picking. Your team is picking somewhere in
Speaker 17: this draft. Probably early teens is where I would put them.
Speaker 17: We'll see how the next three weeks go. But early teens,
Speaker 17: maybe mid teens, that's where you're picking. Where are you
Speaker 17: looking for first in the draft to fix this team?
Speaker 71: If we have one of those drafts here where the
Speaker 71: Bengals have eight picks and they use every single one
Speaker 71: on defense, I have Portland warranted at this point because,
Speaker 71: again mentioned before, the offensive lineman maybe not playing great,
Speaker 71: but in the credit I mean, they've got the run
Speaker 71: game going obviously without even having that big devotion of
Speaker 71: resources to the running back room Joe Burrow on the season,
Speaker 71: we've actually seen the sixth rowest pressure rate overall in
Speaker 71: the NFL. So we're gonna let the offense rest as is.
Speaker 71: And I think again, if we are picking this Matt
Speaker 71: lower ten of fifteen range. The dream pick would be
Speaker 71: Ohio State Safety killed down Scorf Award a winner, and
Speaker 71: just I've seen a lot of you know, the Dame
Speaker 71: Burglars and drill class of the world. Actually getting to
Speaker 71: Troy Paula moodelcom because I'm sure AFC North Fence if
Speaker 71: he has the line you know, nightmares Oven Cincinnati. But
Speaker 71: still it would be great to get one of those
Speaker 71: guys on your squad. Just again, a rangey box safe
Speaker 71: and we can go these things and coverage as well,
Speaker 71: but just someone who can get I think helps solidify
Speaker 71: and just help kind of improve pretty much everyone working
Speaker 71: across that defense. The other potential guy who again could
Speaker 71: just kind of go sideline the sideline for you would
Speaker 71: be another buck Eye Sunny style, someone who actually was
Speaker 71: playing safety on his career, get out of Pickerington. And
Speaker 71: just again, when we talk about freak athletes, amongst freak
Speaker 71: athletes like study Pallas really is.
Speaker 24: One of them.
Speaker 71: So he's really, you know, started to come more into
Speaker 71: his own as a true linebackers with these last seasons.
Speaker 71: And again just getting some more speed out there, King,
Speaker 71: because I think that's one of the bigger issues When
Speaker 71: you watch the defense play, there's just no one in
Speaker 71: the back end that's actually going sideline the side by
Speaker 71: making plays. So yes, everyone, I am a very bias
Speaker 71: Clubs Ohio native and so so we take that and
Speaker 71: was for us.
Speaker 72: But at the same time, we're talking about all Americans here,
Speaker 72: and you know guys who I think even a more
Speaker 72: neutral fan I would have bet or with your top
Speaker 72: fifty picks. So again, Caleb Downs would be the dream,
Speaker 72: and I think there is a chance for him to
Speaker 72: follow you guys as much as we're going to see
Speaker 72: Caleb literally ranked as a top five overall process in
Speaker 72: this draft, just kind of the positional value of safety
Speaker 72: that makes it so that he might not go in
Speaker 72: the top ten.
Speaker 71: So fingers crossed the down.
Speaker 17: Does Ian hard It's general manager of the Bengals attempt
Speaker 17: to re sign Trey Hendrickson or has that boat sailed?
Speaker 71: I think the boat kilm And the thing is like
Speaker 71: when Henderson, even when he was leading the NFL, and
Speaker 71: that's not like I was still producing a great defense. Look,
Speaker 71: we've seen what happens when he's not out there. They
Speaker 71: go bad to literally the worst group in the league.
Speaker 71: So not trying to take anything away from Hendrickson, but
Speaker 71: in the day, you know, we just turned thirty one
Speaker 71: years old, obviously couldn't stay healthy this season. I just
Speaker 71: don't think, you know, signing up to give you know,
Speaker 71: a law and multi year extension to a guy who
Speaker 71: you know, for good reasons isn't very happy with your
Speaker 71: ownership in the first place. So I think at this point,
Speaker 71: whether you can try to get a trade or just
Speaker 71: let a walk and hope you get a dec of
Speaker 71: compict probably makes more sense. There Again, if you've learned
Speaker 71: anything this year, that we're now one player away from
Speaker 71: really scrucing up the defense anyway, So hopefully again try
Speaker 71: to use that you know, actually thirty forty million and
Speaker 71: cap space a multiple positions.
Speaker 17: As you look at the defense and as you look
Speaker 17: at free agency and knowing it is the Bengals and
Speaker 17: they are not spend thrift, I mean they are spend
Speaker 17: thrifts when it comes to anything that involves signing free agents.
Speaker 17: How aggressive would you be, not knowing, of course at
Speaker 17: this point of the year, who would be available at
Speaker 17: at what price, but how aggressive would you be? Would
Speaker 17: you would you go overboard? Would the number one guy
Speaker 17: that's out there on defense, be it the interier out an,
Speaker 17: a edge rusher, a linebacker, whatever it may be. How
Speaker 17: aggressive would you be to try and bring in immediate
Speaker 17: help because quite frankly, if we just talk about the draft,
Speaker 17: I don't know if they can fix that defense inside
Speaker 17: of one off season.
Speaker 71: Yeah, but at the same time, when you are employing
Speaker 71: Burrow and Chase and spending thirty forty million on each
Speaker 71: per year, like your window is now, even if it
Speaker 71: maybe doesn't look like it's ready to exactly pick up
Speaker 71: that slack, So I.
Speaker 10: Would be very aggressive.
Speaker 71: Look, we have seen turn arounds to four where we
Speaker 71: fad like we need the Bengals field from the thirty
Speaker 71: second ranked defense the first Okay, we can go to
Speaker 71: war with the eighteenth ranked team hopefully has the ball
Speaker 71: bounce our way a couple times in January and things
Speaker 71: will probably be good enough there. So I would be
Speaker 71: again just all in on this window and trying to
Speaker 71: make the most out of it. So whether that's going
Speaker 71: to be you know, really I don't looking at the
Speaker 71: free agents right now, and you're right, it is early.
Speaker 71: And Andrewson is probably going to be the guy headline
Speaker 71: in the class anyway, So I don't know about completely,
Speaker 71: you know, emptying the cliff on just one of these
Speaker 71: edge rushers, trying to get it all there, but again
Speaker 71: trying to bring him four or five potential difference makers.
Speaker 71: Maybe more so in that eight to twelve million annual
Speaker 71: salary range would make a little bit more sense to me.
Speaker 71: So I will say, you know, just when you look
Speaker 71: at free agency, a lot of time teams I think
Speaker 71: when they do mess up, it is trying to spend
Speaker 71: up on that wide receiver or on that quarterback who,
Speaker 71: let's say, if they were better, probably wouldn't behave the
Speaker 71: open park in the first place. We do see teams
Speaker 71: manage to have a bigger you know, overhaul and turnaround
Speaker 71: successfully in free agency when we are looking at the
Speaker 71: more line of scrimmage and defensive typosition. So I am
Speaker 71: optimistic again they could maybe go come horrific to just
Speaker 71: below average and here if their offense is going to
Speaker 71: be great, hopefully that's enough.
Speaker 17: Hopefully Ian Hard It's Matthew Berry Fantasy Live, our guest.
Speaker 17: They get quinn Ewers today in Miami, as the Dolphins
Speaker 17: apparently have moved on from to at tag of Iloa.
Speaker 17: It sounds like it's going to be a a pricey
Speaker 17: way to move on. But nevertheless he's done and here
Speaker 17: comes youwers who had success in college but not so
Speaker 17: much so far in the NFL. What are you expecting
Speaker 17: today in Miami? The line on this game is like,
Speaker 17: I think it's gone to Bengals minus four and a half.
Speaker 17: What are you expecting in this game today?
Speaker 3: Be a very ugly.
Speaker 71: Football game, But I'm hopefing that a bang will you
Speaker 71: see that will give us an offense the highlights the
Speaker 71: fend with yours and maybe he does turn around. This
Speaker 71: was a guy who I think coming out of high
Speaker 71: school was twenty four to seven sports like number one
Speaker 71: that waited the quarterback. Ever, so obviously you know anyone
Speaker 71: has lost in my textas over the years kind of
Speaker 71: knows is the radicness out there. So not expecting too
Speaker 71: much of yours. But then again, I mean watching two
Speaker 71: of the course of the past no year or two
Speaker 71: really has been striking just how much he's fallen off.
Speaker 71: I never got behind, you know, actually ranking two up
Speaker 71: there with the Justin Herberts and Joe Burrows. But twenty
Speaker 71: twenty two and twenty twenty three, I mean he still
Speaker 71: was playing like an above average quarterback by pretty much
Speaker 71: any metric you want to look at. So very disappointing
Speaker 71: to see it again. What's kind of happened with Tua?
Speaker 71: Maybe yours, you know, can go ahead and give us something.
Speaker 71: I'm to the point we're not going to see that
Speaker 71: Dak Wilson experienced him because as much as I'm look,
Speaker 71: Doc Wilson's the bus, he's a terrible quarterback.
Speaker 73: I did it.
Speaker 71: But see as that fun bad quarterback. Okay, he's kind
Speaker 71: of got that, you know, they were actual confidence. He's
Speaker 71: got the mobility to move around and at least make
Speaker 71: you laugh at you too. Another interception, So that's my
Speaker 71: one disappointment there. But overall, I'mtobner was a big place
Speaker 71: from Furrow Casey Bocha.
Speaker 17: Dan Marino in his present state I think might be
Speaker 17: a better option than Zach Wilson. But that's why they
Speaker 17: play the games, right.
Speaker 71: That would be something man. Ever, since you know, Philip
Speaker 71: Rivers came out for the Colts, I saw a couple
Speaker 71: of Jack liars man actually adding Maurice Jones Drew on
Speaker 71: Twitter and hey man, I could you come back and play?
Speaker 71: He said, oh heck, And they had that Uh, you
Speaker 71: know that commercials from going around with Marino and Smith
Speaker 71: and Jerry Rice going out there. Maybe it's a little
Speaker 71: more realistic than.
Speaker 24: We gave it.
Speaker 17: Yeah, maybe so maybe so. Ian Harte, you have a
Speaker 17: merry Christmas, and you know we'll be calling down the road.
Speaker 17: But for your time today, we appreciate it, my friend.
Speaker 71: Appreciate you.
Speaker 24: You bet.
Speaker 17: Can you imagine some of these former NFL players coming
Speaker 17: out of retirement, who would be the number one Bengal
Speaker 17: you'd like to see coming out of retirement to the
Speaker 17: rescue for these final three games? How about Carlos Dunlap
Speaker 17: but Gino Atkins get a little heat on the quarterback
Speaker 17: probably like no, I'm dude, We're done. It's coming up
Speaker 17: on ten twenty five. We're counting down to the Bengals
Speaker 17: and the Dolphins. That's a one o'clock kickoff right on
Speaker 17: both of these radio stations, and it'll be Dan Horde
Speaker 17: and Dave Lapham as per usual on all of the

Speaker 17: Paramount Sports. It's got fought? Is there four or five today?
Speaker 17: I forgot He's got five, five games. He is convinced
Speaker 17: that will come home as winners for you. Here's what
Speaker 17: happened on this date in Cincinnati sports history. It's brought
Speaker 17: to you by Pedal Windows and Doors Making life brighter
Speaker 17: Pella now Hey. Later, on this date, December the twenty first,
Speaker 17: all the way back in nineteen hundred and seventy five,
Speaker 17: the Bengals were playing the San Diego Chargers. I'm sorry
Speaker 17: nineteen seventy three Bengals San Diego Chargers and Cincinnati runs
Speaker 17: away with a forty seven to seven win. Ken Anderson
Speaker 17: three touchdowns and a rushing touchdown, and Cincinnati ended the
Speaker 17: regular season eleven and three. They lost to Oakland the
Speaker 17: following week in the playoffs. Big offensive day for Ken
Speaker 17: Anderson in the Bengals offense on this date, December the
Speaker 17: twenty first, in nineteen seventy five, fifty years ago, the
Speaker 17: Cincinnati Stingers of the World Hockey Association took on the
Speaker 17: Quebec Nord Deeks at Riverfront Conlisseum and in a wild game,
Speaker 17: skated away with an eleven to seven win, eighteen total
Speaker 17: goals in the game. Brian Campbell. Brian Campbell, they called
Speaker 17: him Soupy. He War number seven. Brian Soupe Campbell two goals,
Speaker 17: three assists, and a not so robust crowd of five thousand,
Speaker 17: three hundred and ninety two soaked it all up and
Speaker 17: on this state. In nineteen hundred and sixty eight, the
Speaker 17: Cincinnati Royals went to San Diego to play the Rockets. Royals,
Speaker 17: of course, no longer in existence. They have moved on
Speaker 17: through a number of incarnations. They are now the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 17: They took on the San Diego Rockets. Of course, the
Speaker 17: Rockets are no longer in San Diego. In any event,
Speaker 17: the Rockets come along and come away with a one
Speaker 17: hundred thirty two to one hundred and twenty four win
Speaker 17: Oscar forty eight minutes, thirty nine points. That is among
Speaker 17: the many things that happened on this date in Cincinnati
Speaker 17: sports history. All right, Lee Sterling, Paramount Sports. He's had
Speaker 17: a big year. He's had a big year with us.
Speaker 17: He is in Miami, that's where he's based. And Lee
Speaker 17: is going to the game today. If you're going to
Speaker 17: the game. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app and
Speaker 17: you're down in Miami, look for Lee Sterling. But he's
Speaker 17: standing by to join us right now as we handicap
Speaker 17: some hopefully winners in the NFL today. And Lee, how
Speaker 17: are you of this glorious game day?
Speaker 24: I am good and getting ready to head over there
Speaker 24: in just a few minutes to the to a little
Speaker 24: bit of tailgating, hopefully a lot of tailgating. I probably
Speaker 24: might be smarter just to stay in the tailgate section
Speaker 24: rather than going into the stadium, but I'll do a
Speaker 24: little bit of both.
Speaker 17: You realize you said last week on this radio station
Speaker 17: that anybody that was listening and they go down to
Speaker 17: the game, the first beer is on you. You remember
Speaker 17: that right there. I'm ready.
Speaker 24: I'm ready.
Speaker 17: We'll get to twenty lot twenty. We'll get to that
Speaker 17: Titanic matchup in a moment. I want to go inside
Speaker 17: the division. Steelers eight and six at Lions eight and six.
Speaker 17: Lions are giving seven. Pittsburgh controls its own destiny inside
Speaker 17: the division, but the Lions are currently on the outside.
Speaker 17: Look at it right now at the playoffs. This game
Speaker 17: event against Pittsburgh at Minnesota and that at Chicago to
Speaker 17: finish the season. This is a big game for both teams,
Speaker 17: but do you I think even more so for the Lions,
Speaker 17: don't you?
Speaker 24: It is, but I think they're going to make this
Speaker 24: is a great matchup for them. Why do I say
Speaker 24: that they're playing a Steelers team that you know, if
Speaker 24: you're looking for kudos beating the Dolphins and cold weather,
Speaker 24: they're not going to get it. They also always went
Speaker 24: on Monday, So anyone who is betting the Dolphins on Monday,
Speaker 24: maybe they should think about quitting the street. I mean
Speaker 24: they can run the football. Number five rushing offense, number
Speaker 24: three in passing offense. They got weapons all across the board.
Speaker 10: You didn't forget about.
Speaker 24: Think one of the best tight ends. So how is
Speaker 24: Pittsburgh going to stop him? It's gonna be touugh without TJ.
Speaker 17: Watt.
Speaker 24: The Steelers offense barely averages more first downs than the Jets.
Speaker 24: Believe it or not, only seventeen point one first downs
Speaker 24: per game, and the defense allows as many as Washington,
Speaker 24: Arizona in Dallas, near the bottom of the totem polt
Speaker 24: twenty one point nine first downs per game. Here, I
Speaker 24: know the Lions are playing to stay alive here. But
Speaker 24: I think they're going to get it done here. I
Speaker 24: don't think Pittsburgh's offense is built to trade scores here
Speaker 24: Detroit thirty four.
Speaker 17: To twenty three, thirty four to twenty three Lions. Well,
Speaker 17: if that happens, then new life for the Ravens, who
Speaker 17: are at home today giving three to the Patriots. But
Speaker 17: hang on a second, the Patriots, there's six and oh
Speaker 17: on the road this season, six and zero on the road,
Speaker 17: one game up on Buffalo with three to go, and
Speaker 17: so from that standpoint, it's a big game for the Patriots.
Speaker 17: How do you see this one?
Speaker 71: Yeah?
Speaker 17: And they were three and fourteen.
Speaker 24: Year to expect them to all of a sudden go
Speaker 24: from three and fourteen to running away with the division,
Speaker 24: I think it was asking too much. My wife came
Speaker 24: in and popped her head, and when Buffalo's trailing twenty
Speaker 24: one nothing, she goes, who do you have here, Buffalo?
Speaker 24: And she goes, well, not looking good. I said, not
Speaker 24: over yet, and sure enough came starming back. So it's
Speaker 24: baby steps. You know you're not going to, you know,
Speaker 24: all of a sudden be a champion. You've got to
Speaker 24: go through some adversity here.
Speaker 10: And the thing is that Baltimore.
Speaker 24: I don't think Baltimore is that good and they're not
Speaker 24: ain't close to where they were last year. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 24: is afraid to run, just two rushes last week, drop
Speaker 24: passes all over the field. All his receivers seems like
Speaker 24: don't want to hold onto the ball right now. Drake
Speaker 24: May I think is a better runner and the better
Speaker 24: passer than Lamar Jackson. And I think he has the
Speaker 24: most explosive player in Trevian Henderson. I don't know why
Speaker 24: he's only carrying the ball about sixty four percent of
Speaker 24: the time compared to the other backs. They put Stevenson
Speaker 24: in from three, four to five carry stops a game. Here,
Speaker 24: it's fifty six and fifty two yard touchdown burst last
Speaker 24: week here, I think the wrong TAM's favorite. Give me
Speaker 24: New England here, stupour.
Speaker 17: Twenty seven to twenty four. Don't worry about the points
Speaker 17: Patriots now. Look, any game can be the best game
Speaker 17: of the week. Look at Thursday Night. But I'm telling
Speaker 17: you this Jaguars Broncos game is shaping up.
Speaker 20: To be that way.
Speaker 17: Five in a row for the Jags, eleven straight for
Speaker 17: Denver Jags inside the red zone are money this season.
Speaker 17: Here are the Broncos at home giving three and a
Speaker 17: half to the Jaguars. This could be the game of
Speaker 17: the daily Yes, and.
Speaker 10: No one saw this coming here.
Speaker 17: So here's the situation with jack Ville.
Speaker 24: Are they improved, Absolutely, they won five straight and they
Speaker 24: covered five straight. But look who they played. They beat
Speaker 24: the Jets last week. Trevor Lawrence had six touchdown passes.
Speaker 24: He may not have six touchdown passes the rest.
Speaker 71: Of the season.
Speaker 24: And now they got to go all the way out West,
Speaker 24: played a mile high, got to face the number three
Speaker 24: run defense. That's going to be troublesome if they can't
Speaker 24: run the ball. I got to throw the ball. And Denver,
Speaker 24: as we know, has one of the top two or
Speaker 24: three pass rushes, and they got cornerbacks and safeties that
Speaker 24: can cover like no other. And then on top of that,
Speaker 24: bone Nicks all of a sudden, he's starting to put
Speaker 24: it together. I mean, Sean Payton gradually allowing that leash
Speaker 24: to grow here and he's not even running much. So
Speaker 24: I just think this is the game where Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 24: shows two or three interceptions.
Speaker 10: I like Denver big here thirty to.
Speaker 17: Thirteen thirty thirteen Broncos to blow them out. Don't worry
Speaker 17: about the three and a half. It's fading fast on Indianapolis.
Speaker 17: I mean, yeah, the Philip Rivers is a nice story.
Speaker 17: They're home today against the forty nine ers, and that
Speaker 17: NFC West is that conference is just brutal. I mean
Speaker 17: it's exceptional, but it's brutal. Colts are getting five and
Speaker 17: a half, but they've lost four in a row. Oh
Speaker 17: and again they're fading at this point. So here they
Speaker 17: are at home and a must win for them to
Speaker 17: stay alive in a playoff race against the forty nine ers,
Speaker 17: who are duking it out with three other two other
Speaker 17: teams in the NFC West.
Speaker 20: What do you think?
Speaker 24: Yeah, I think this is a great set up for
Speaker 24: San Francisco because they've seen what Indianapolis has to offer.
Speaker 24: David defensive coordinator Robert salav one of the best, I mean,
Speaker 24: so he's going to be able to figure out pretty
Speaker 24: easily how to defend Philip Rivers here. And I just
Speaker 24: don't think Indianapolis's defense can play as hard and as
Speaker 24: efficient as they did last week in Seattle. They know
Speaker 24: Seattle's running game, which is good to fifty yards on
Speaker 24: twenty two carries. Here San Francisco wins and covers twenty
Speaker 24: seven to seventeen, they'd.
Speaker 17: Go to eleven and four, eleven and four if they win.
Speaker 17: All right, Lee's Golden Ticket here we are. We're closing
Speaker 17: it on Christmas. The Golden ticket is still golden. What
Speaker 17: do we have now between now and the end of
Speaker 17: December with the Golden ticket?
Speaker 20: You want to get involved.
Speaker 24: It's five selections from today all the way through the
Speaker 24: end of the season and three weeks five this week, five,
Speaker 24: next week five, final week of the season January fourth,
Speaker 24: just one hundred and forty seven dollars almost sixty five percent.
Speaker 24: We're hitting over the last thirteen weeks. So Lea's NFL
Speaker 24: Sunday Golden Ticket. Go to Paramount sports dot com. It's
Speaker 24: just one hundred and forty seven dollars, five selections every
Speaker 24: single Sunday. They're ready to go right now, one place,
Speaker 24: Paramount Sports dot Com.
Speaker 17: I don't want to mix message, but you do everything.
Speaker 17: It's we're talking NFL today, But you do college football,
Speaker 17: the playoffser here, you do you UFC, you do hockey,
Speaker 17: you do basketball. I mean, it's one stop shopping right,
Speaker 17: Paramount Sports.
Speaker 10: That's it.
Speaker 24: That's it. We don't get much rest, but we're going
Speaker 24: to take care of you.
Speaker 10: Certainly do that for you, all right.
Speaker 17: So you are going to this Bengals Dolphins game today.
Speaker 17: Both teams are out of it. Miami is benched to
Speaker 17: Quinn Ewers at quarterback for the Dolphins. And Joe Burrow,
Speaker 17: I mean, it seems like every time he opens his
Speaker 17: mouth now he says something cryptically about himself. He did
Speaker 17: it again this week. The Bengals look horrible last weekly,
Speaker 17: as you well know, and here they are against the Dolphins.
Speaker 17: Dolphins were playing well until last week, then they hit
Speaker 17: the bricks in Pittsburgh. So, I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 17: how do you look at this with the Dolphins getting
Speaker 17: four at home and starting a guy at quarterback who's
Speaker 17: not started the game in his life in the NFL.
Speaker 24: Well, I did some in preseason. I think they might
Speaker 24: rally around him a little bit. The thing we do
Speaker 24: know is going to be playing not a very good
Speaker 24: Cincinnati defense, but I think Joe Burrow is going to
Speaker 24: be able to He rarely has two bad games in
Speaker 24: a row. So the weather looks to be perfect here
Speaker 24: fast track. The one thing is Miami does have a
Speaker 24: winning record straight up and against the spread at home,
Speaker 24: so we know they're able to do much much better
Speaker 24: at home.
Speaker 17: Fourth road game and six chances here.
Speaker 24: For Cincinnati, this scion's moved from two and a half
Speaker 24: to four and a half to five. I think Cincinnati
Speaker 24: wins the game here twenty eight, twenty six, but I'm
Speaker 24: going to take the four and a half points in Miami.
Speaker 71: Put two bad teams together, it'll.
Speaker 24: Probably come down to maybe one play at the end,
Speaker 24: either a made field goal, missed field goal, or a
Speaker 24: team inside the five yard line trying to put it in.
Speaker 24: So I think it's gonna be entertaining. You know, feats
Speaker 24: are cheap. If anyone's in the area, head on over
Speaker 24: Lot twenty just one place. Paramount sports dot com first
Speaker 24: beers on me.
Speaker 17: How do they find you? A lot twenty is a
Speaker 17: big a lot.
Speaker 24: Jess will I will be wearing an old school Miami
Speaker 24: Miami Aqua polo shirt, so look for the logo on
Speaker 24: my left chest. Don't wear anything new.
Speaker 17: Nothing new, nothing that new logo.
Speaker 80: Since Stephen Ross takeover, it doesn't exist in my book.
Speaker 17: Hey lady, Merry Christmas, Happy holidays. We'll talk thanks week,
Speaker 17: Stay well, my friend.
Speaker 10: Thanks, yeah, you two.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's interesting. This game could be an absolute mess
Speaker 17: in terms of performance. Mikah Fitzpatrick, the safety, the aging
Speaker 17: safety for the Dolphins is out. They've got a bunch
Speaker 17: of players questionable. DJ Turner, best corner on the Bengals roster, yesterday,
Speaker 17: popped up on the injury report after a full week
Speaker 17: of practice. He's now questionable. They didn't say why. He's questionable,
Speaker 17: but questionable in NFL parlance, means uncertain if the player
Speaker 17: will play. You've got no offense. The tight end is out,
Speaker 17: You've got Charlie Jones, the return guy continues to be
Speaker 17: out with an ankle problem. And you have Joseph Osai out.
Speaker 17: So you have all of that and then some questionable
Speaker 17: guys on that Bengals roster and two teams that are
Speaker 17: out of it. Let's see who answers the bell strongly.
Speaker 17: The difference could be the quarterback. I mean, Quinn yours
Speaker 17: first NFL regular season dart, but he's at home. It's warm.
Speaker 17: It's been cold here. When you go from cold to
Speaker 17: warmth or warmth to cold. The team that is doing
Speaker 17: the traveling is always the team that is at a disadvantage. Nevertheless,
Speaker 17: Bengals are a better team, even if they haven't showed it.
Speaker 17: If you just look at the rosters, they're a better team.
Speaker 17: But with those players out, it could throw everything into
Speaker 17: a bit of a jumble. More on that coming up.

Speaker 17: to kickoff with that man about town, the Hall of
Speaker 17: Famer Wayne Box Miller Champagne Wayne, and he will take
Speaker 17: you right up to kickoff. We found out this week
Speaker 17: through Paul Danner junior at the Athletic that Zach Taylor
Speaker 17: does not have one year left on his contract. He
Speaker 17: actually has two two years left on his contract. And
Speaker 17: so when the media gathered to question Zach on this
Speaker 17: week's game, the contract was like the first thing that
Speaker 17: was brought up. You know, can you confirm that? Can
Speaker 17: you confirm that it's two more years?
Speaker 49: Here?
Speaker 17: We all thought it was one year until you know,
Speaker 17: Danner dug this piece of information up. Here's what Taylor said.
Speaker 39: I don't think it won't matters. I coach every day
Speaker 39: like it's my last. And I've been through years in
Speaker 39: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty that were literally you coach every
Speaker 39: game thinking it could be your last game. And I've
Speaker 39: seen how we responded after that. Twenty one twenty two
Speaker 39: compete for division titles and championships, and so this year
Speaker 39: is no different for me. It's going through adversity coaching
Speaker 39: every game in this profession like it could be your
Speaker 39: last one. I have a lot of confidence in our
Speaker 39: staff that we're going to get this turned around and
Speaker 39: we're going to finish the season really strong and put
Speaker 39: together a great plan to get back to those championships
Speaker 39: I mentioned.
Speaker 17: So very confident we can do all that well. I mean,
Speaker 17: why would he feel otherwise, right, I mean why would
Speaker 17: he feel otherwise. If he felt otherwise, he probably shouldn't
Speaker 17: be there in the first place. But the problems that
Speaker 17: this franchise has run deeper than the coach.
Speaker 20: I mean, yeah, you.
Speaker 17: Could run an idea past management ownership. Now, maybe Zach
Speaker 17: shouldn't call his plays, maybe he should just be a
Speaker 17: quote unquote head coach. I mean, I guess that's one
Speaker 17: thing you could look at, or yeah, maybe there's a
Speaker 17: time and a place and maybe this is the time
Speaker 17: and the place to move on from the de facto
Speaker 17: general manager Duke Tobin. But that's not happening. This is
Speaker 17: a run it back organization, as you just heard, and
Speaker 17: you know it's happened before they went to the super Bowl.
Speaker 17: They ran it back the next year. They came within
Speaker 17: a couple of bonehead plays, bad punt, hitting a guy
Speaker 17: out of bounds from going back to the super Bowl again.
Speaker 17: But even Burrow knows there's got to be changes in
Speaker 17: this off season or what's the point.
Speaker 61: I have a lot of confidence and and everybody that's
Speaker 61: putting together the plans for us weekend and week out,
Speaker 61: that's time to say that changes don't need to be made.
Speaker 61: Not saying personnel or people. I'm just saying, you know,
Speaker 61: what we've been doing hasn't worked the last couple of years,
Speaker 61: so you know, we have to think outside the box
Speaker 61: and get creative about where we go from here.
Speaker 17: Everybody's caught, they got confidence and everybody, by the way,
Speaker 17: there was not a woodpecker that was in the conference room.
Speaker 17: That was somebody on a laptop banging away. Don't know
Speaker 17: why we have to hear that, but nevertheless, Yeah, everybody's
Speaker 17: got confidence in everybody else. And Borrow got exactly what
Speaker 17: he wanted last offseason. He got Jamar, he got Tee
Speaker 17: signed the long term deals, he got Gasicki signed up,
Speaker 17: he got Hendrickson signed up. It didn't work for whatever reason,
Speaker 17: largely because he got hurt. And that's where they are
Speaker 17: today in Miami, eliminated. But it does not mean that
Speaker 17: there is not something to play for. And you're playing
Speaker 17: for besides pride, besides a paycheck. You're playing for another
Speaker 17: team to see what you may be able to do
Speaker 17: for them. Because the changes will involve personnel, if not
Speaker 17: front of office and coaching. So maybe the players, a
Speaker 17: lot of them that are here right now won't be
Speaker 17: here next year. Well, they're still looking for a job
Speaker 17: in football. So you damn well better not lit up
Speaker 17: in the final three games. I mean, here's the guy
Speaker 17: that I think has been right place, right time for
Speaker 17: this team all season long, Jordan Battle, starting safety. He
Speaker 17: knows what today means, no.
Speaker 87: Matter the circumstances. And obviously you know the playoffs there
Speaker 87: nine to no more. But anytime you get a win,
Speaker 87: that's that's good for your pride, you know, good for
Speaker 87: your for your manhood.
Speaker 76: You know.
Speaker 87: We you know, we're a group of guys you know
Speaker 87: who who hate losing, you know, and losing doesn't feel good,
Speaker 87: you know.
Speaker 17: But and you win, obviously you feel better going home.
Speaker 17: And that brings us to how every piece is important,
Speaker 17: brought to you by Donato's Pizza. Where every piece is important.
Speaker 17: Donado's the official pizza of the Bengals. It's a lot
Speaker 17: of pieces. I'm gonna start with the captains of this team.
Speaker 17: This is when you step up. This is when Burrow
Speaker 17: steps up. This is when you galvanize a locker room
Speaker 17: and say, look, this ain't going away. We thought it's
Speaker 17: going to go. But we still have ourselves, we still
Speaker 17: have our fans, and we still have our team to represent.
Speaker 17: Go out there and do it the right way. Play
Speaker 17: today like it matters. Play today like it matters whether
Speaker 17: or not you go to the playoffs, even if it
Speaker 17: does not. So the pieces are many. They're the captains.
Speaker 17: That's why they elect you captain. Standing by to join us.

Speaker 17: one o'clock kickoff down in Miami, Tua has been benched.
Speaker 17: Why was two a bench?
Speaker 24: Well?
Speaker 17: Their coach Mike McDaniel says, I didn't see the kind
Speaker 17: of play I need out of a quarterback. He really
Speaker 17: hasn't been the same. And you'll remember this when the
Speaker 17: Dolphins played here, I think it was a Thursday night
Speaker 17: and he was concussed on the field at pay Court Stadium.
Speaker 17: Followed that followed a previous concussion, and there was one
Speaker 17: more to follow that, and it just hasn't been right
Speaker 17: for him this year. He's thrown twenty touchdown passes but
Speaker 17: fifteen interceptions, and he doesn't seem to be reading rushes
Speaker 17: all that well. He's been sacked thirty times. Yours only
Speaker 17: has five completions and eight attempts in a fill in
Speaker 17: role this year. But there are other weapons that the
Speaker 17: Dolphins have, starting with Devon a Chain eleven hundred and
Speaker 17: eighty six yards so far this year, seven touchdowns. He
Speaker 17: doesn't put the ball on the ground. He's only fumbled
Speaker 17: once and when the quarterback Crows. He's got Jim and
Speaker 17: Wattle Watta with eight hundred receiving yards this year, six touchdowns,
Speaker 17: thirteen big plays, that's plays of twenty or more yards.
Speaker 17: Tyreek Hill is out. That was a major problem early
Speaker 17: on with the Dolphins this season, and now it sounds
Speaker 17: like they're trying to run them out of Miami. Tight
Speaker 17: end is serviceable. We've been around a while. He's not bad,
Speaker 17: Darren Waller, but it's not like this is a offensive juggernaut.
Speaker 17: That's one of the reasons why it appears that the
Speaker 17: coach is on the hot seat and the quarterback is out.
Speaker 17: So with all of those changes and with a new quarterback,
Speaker 17: at least for Zach Taylor, this is a tough team
Speaker 17: to prepare for.
Speaker 39: But it's a very difficult offense regardless of who the
Speaker 39: quarterback is. They put a lot of stressing in the
Speaker 39: run game. They do a great job getting guys open
Speaker 39: with a lot of speed in the past game that
Speaker 39: can finish on explosive plays, and so it's a very
Speaker 39: ranging group to go against.
Speaker 17: And on the Bengal side of things, it's been an
Speaker 17: interesting couple of weeks for Joe Burrow. Of course, last
Speaker 17: week was I would say, I don't know if anybody
Speaker 17: would disagree. If you do, feel free to this is
Speaker 17: the worst game he's played as a Cincinnati Bengal. That
Speaker 17: was on the heels of comments he made a week
Speaker 17: ago Wednesday about not having fun and how if he's
Speaker 17: not having fun, what am I doing? That led to
Speaker 17: an uproar, and then this week the topic was raised.
Speaker 17: You know, I mean, could you ever envision yourself like
Speaker 17: at some point not playing for the Bengals? And his
Speaker 17: answer was, well, crazy things happen in the NFL. Well,
Speaker 17: they do, but he's here, right here, right now. But
Speaker 17: something else just doesn't seem to be clicking with him
Speaker 17: right now. I don't know what that is, but to
Speaker 17: say those kinds of things would mean that he's doing
Speaker 17: a lot of thinking and not thinking about football is
Speaker 17: not a good thing at this time of the year. Nevertheless,
Speaker 17: I'm done reading minds. I stopped that along time time ago.
Speaker 17: I know one of the best minds in journalist is
Speaker 17: about to journalism is about to join us. John Breach
Speaker 17: is one of the top sports writers in this country
Speaker 17: and writes for cbssports dot Com. And it's a good
Speaker 17: day when we can get John on the ear to
Speaker 17: talk football, and that's exactly what he's going to do
Speaker 17: right now. And John Breach, how are you on this
Speaker 17: glorious Sunday.
Speaker 45: I am fantastic can Sunday before Christmas? Got to get
Speaker 45: some Christmas shopping done, but I always have time to
Speaker 45: talk to you.
Speaker 17: There will be no crowds at Kenwood Town Center, trust
Speaker 17: me on that one. You could go anytime you want
Speaker 17: between now and Christmas. Oh well, that's why God invented Amazon.
Speaker 24: All right.
Speaker 17: Look, so Joe Burrow last week he starts talking out
Speaker 17: loud about how it's not fun anymore, and this and
Speaker 17: that and now. Joe Burrow chooses his words carefully. I
Speaker 17: think he's a thoughtful person. And some thought that maybe
Speaker 17: he was delivering some sort of message with that, and
Speaker 17: I looked at it as a twenty nine year old guy,
Speaker 17: and I've been around twenty nine year olds just venting.
Speaker 17: I just say he was venting. I agree, you know,
Speaker 17: he's deep. He doesn't say things capriciously, but I just
Speaker 17: thought it was venting last week about how he's just
Speaker 17: you know, it just isn't fun. But all of a
Speaker 17: sudden it explodes into something like Oh my god, Joe
Speaker 17: Burrow may retire. He may be the next Andrew Love.
Speaker 17: What did you how did you view what he said
Speaker 17: last week before we get to what he said this week, Well, it.
Speaker 45: Certainly was interesting, just because he went to that press
Speaker 45: conference and he was kind of on a downer. You know,
Speaker 45: it was his birthday. Some people don't like their birthday.
Speaker 45: Some people just want the day to be over. And
Speaker 45: so just the way he carried himself, the words he used,
Speaker 45: because you never want to hear someone, especially a franchise quarterback,
Speaker 45: say hey, I don't know if I'm gonna I'm having
Speaker 45: fun here anymore. I'm having fun doing this because that's
Speaker 45: why you play the game. And that's that is kind
Speaker 45: of what Andrew Luck said toward the end of his career.
Speaker 45: So it wasn't completely crazy for people to make that comparison.
Speaker 45: Certainly understand why they did. But you know, Joe Burrow
Speaker 45: wants to win, and that's really what it feels like,
Speaker 45: is that that is what is weighing on him. The
Speaker 45: fact that he's been injured is weighing on him, and
Speaker 45: I think really the big issue is that he works
Speaker 45: so hard to get back so quickly we're talking about.
Speaker 45: The original thought was that he wouldn't be back until
Speaker 45: mid December. He made it back by Thanksgiving, and he
Speaker 45: goes through all that rehab, gets back and boom, within
Speaker 45: two games, the Bengals are out of the playoff race.
Speaker 45: They're eliminated.
Speaker 10: It's all over.
Speaker 45: And so I think that was wearing on him that
Speaker 45: he spent all that time to get back and now
Speaker 45: the rug's been pulled out from under you and you're
Speaker 45: essentially eliminated, which is what happened after that Bill's lost.
Speaker 45: They weren't fully eliminated, but it was pretty much all
Speaker 45: over at that point. And then Burrow had that press
Speaker 45: conference that following Wednesday, and you could just kind of
Speaker 45: see it on a space.
Speaker 17: But he didn't walk in to that news conference and
Speaker 17: sit down and saying I'm not having fun. He was
Speaker 17: asked a question, and my feeling is is that he probably,
Speaker 17: for all the reasons that you just outlined, was down.
Speaker 17: I mean, birthdays are different for different people. My gosh,
Speaker 17: will he turns fifty. But the fact of the matter
Speaker 17: is the fact of the matter is he didn't come
Speaker 17: in there with guns blazing. He was asked the question,
Speaker 17: and yeah, it's not fun. And I don't know, And
Speaker 17: you asked him that same question maybe next week and
Speaker 17: you'll get a different answer. I mean, it's just the
Speaker 17: way people are. I think it's human nature, don't you.
Speaker 45: Yeah, absolutely, And I think the unique thing about Joe
Speaker 45: Burrow that you really don't get a lot of in
Speaker 45: today's NFL is that when he answers a question, he's
Speaker 45: very honest. He's very open, and I don't think he
Speaker 45: worries about the consequences are what people might think of
Speaker 45: his words and the fact that we're parsing through all
Speaker 45: of them and breaking it down and trying to figure
Speaker 45: out what this means for his future. He just one
Speaker 45: of the few guys that is brutally honest as what's
Speaker 45: on his mind and asks what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3: Sometimes that you're gonna.
Speaker 45: Get answers like this where oh, no, Joe Burrow wants
Speaker 45: to leave Cincinnati or Joe Burrow is going to retire.
Speaker 45: Is that's just the nature of how he answers this question.
Speaker 45: So I certainly I like the fact that he is
Speaker 45: absolutely open and that he does say what is on
Speaker 45: his mind. Maybe that's not a great thing for fans
Speaker 45: who are going to.
Speaker 80: Panic every time Joe Burrow has a press conference.
Speaker 45: Conference from now on, Well, Keith on our contract through
Speaker 45: twenty twenty nine. I would be absolutely stunned if he
Speaker 45: was not playing through that entire contract.
Speaker 17: John, you grew up in a house where you fully
Speaker 17: well knew at a very young age, and Mike Brown
Speaker 17: doesn't do anything that Mike Brown doesn't want to do
Speaker 17: for the betterment of the team, And getting rid of
Speaker 17: or trading Joe Burrow isn't there, and making Joe Burrow
Speaker 17: happy is there. So I just to me, I just
Speaker 17: think that, you know, I just think he's down, like
Speaker 17: you know, the team is down, like the city is down.
Speaker 17: But now we get to what he said this past week,
Speaker 17: where he's going to going to play for a long time.
Speaker 17: But he's also thought about the possibility of leaving the
Speaker 17: Bengals at some point. Well, who wouldn't you have the
Speaker 17: ability now in the business, unlike when your dad played
Speaker 17: and even when Boomer was here, that you can go
Speaker 17: anywhere to any team and you can make a lot
Speaker 17: of money if you're a free agent. So yeah, the
Speaker 17: possibilities certainly would have had to have crossed his mind,
Speaker 17: you know, it crosses everybody's mind. Your business, my business.
Speaker 17: And again, I don't think it's anything that's calculated. I
Speaker 17: think if he wants to say these things saml Sam
Speaker 17: to Katie Blackburnard and Mike Brown, he probably already has.
Speaker 17: So I'm sure he's thought about the possibility of change
Speaker 17: in his life at some point. He'd be foolish not to.
Speaker 17: But I'm not sure that's that's a big deal, is it.
Speaker 24: Yeah, I'm not sure it is.
Speaker 80: And that was basically Joe Burrows asked, Hey, do you plan.
Speaker 45: On being the core you point on not being the
Speaker 45: quarterback in Cincinnatia at some point in your career, and
Speaker 45: he said, you think about a lot of things.
Speaker 24: Now.
Speaker 45: The interesting thing there is that he also gave that
Speaker 45: same exact answer when he was asked if you thought
Speaker 45: about retirement. You think about a lot of things. But
Speaker 45: we're not sitting here and talking about it maybe retiring.
Speaker 45: We're talking about him maybe leaving the Bengals, because that's
Speaker 45: just what Joe Burrow says.
Speaker 3: He does think about a lot of things.
Speaker 45: And like you just said, I am it is almost
Speaker 45: certain that he probably says the same thing to ownership.
Speaker 3: He just doesn't really have a filter.
Speaker 10: He thinks deeply about what he says, and then he
Speaker 10: says it.
Speaker 45: I think the important thing to remember about his most
Speaker 45: recent press conference is that he was talking about a
Speaker 45: lot of things. He was talking about the fact that
Speaker 45: he wants to play until forty. He wants to emulate
Speaker 45: guys like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and of course,
Speaker 45: you know those are two of the best quarterbacks ever.
Speaker 45: He mentioned Drew Breese, he mentioned Aaron Rodgers. All those
Speaker 45: guys played for multiple teams in his career. So I
Speaker 45: think he was just kind of saying, hey, look, crazy
Speaker 45: things happen in the nfls. You don't know that you're
Speaker 45: going to be in the same place forever. Most guys aren't.
Speaker 80: He specifically mentioned Michael Parsons.
Speaker 45: Getting trade and how he was shocked by that trade,
Speaker 45: and so it is the NFL, and sometimes eventually you
Speaker 45: either wear you're welcome or the team find something shinier
Speaker 45: and brighter. Maybe that's eight years down the road, and
Speaker 45: that's just the nature of the league. So I don't
Speaker 45: think it's crazy for Burrow to think, hey, look, maybe
Speaker 45: I won't be here forever, but surely it's possible.
Speaker 3: He planned to be here for another ten years before
Speaker 3: maybe leaving.
Speaker 17: Yeah, again, these are questions that are asked. He didn't
Speaker 17: walk in and sit down and start spouting this stuff off.
Speaker 17: And it's a beauty. I think that a lot of
Speaker 17: the writers in this town should embrace. It's like when
Speaker 17: Boomer was here years ago, there was nobody more honest
Speaker 17: about his assessment of things than Boomer is Sias and
Speaker 17: this is kind of like what Boomer did thirty five
Speaker 17: years ago when he was here. But nevertheless, Joe Burrow
Speaker 17: is in much better shape right now than two at
Speaker 17: taga Iloa. This game today opened at Bengals minus two.
Speaker 17: It's now Bengals minus four and a half, largely because
Speaker 17: they've made the quarterback switch in Miami and Tua got benched.
Speaker 17: His coach was pretty blunt. He said, look, I'm doing
Speaker 17: this because we're not getting the production out of the
Speaker 17: quarter that we need. I'm not sure quinn Ewers is
Speaker 17: the answer, But what do you expect that happened? What
Speaker 17: do you expect that does to the Miami offense?
Speaker 45: Well, it's interesting that the Dolphins made this decision right now,
Speaker 45: because I think if you're benching to he obviously he's
Speaker 45: not in their long term plans now, so at some
Speaker 45: point you're going to probably get rid of him. But
Speaker 45: he has that huge, huge tap hit in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 45: and so it's just thinking about trading him, which maybe
Speaker 45: is your only realistic option, and you probably have to
Speaker 45: pay some of his salary for twenty twenty six to
Speaker 45: get that deal done.
Speaker 3: Then you would want him out on the field to
Speaker 3: kind of get his.
Speaker 80: Trade compensation make teams say oh, okay to it.
Speaker 10: Can still play. So we know he played in Pittsburgh two.
Speaker 3: A time of low it's horrible in cold weather.
Speaker 10: It was twenty degrees in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 45: But now you have two home games coming up in
Speaker 45: Miami against the Bengals obviously tonight or today, and then
Speaker 45: against the Buccaneers next week, and then they close against
Speaker 45: the Patriots, and so it's just weird because again, if
Speaker 45: you want to see your quarterback, maybe Tour could play
Speaker 45: well against the Bengals.
Speaker 80: We've seen what the Bengals defense has been this year.
Speaker 45: So the flip side of that is Quinn yours answer
Speaker 45: your question again is that if you're going to start
Speaker 45: a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 80: At this point in the season, I'm sure Mike McDaniels.
Speaker 45: Said, maybe this looks like a defense we could maybe
Speaker 45: have some success against. Because the whole thing if you're
Speaker 45: starting a rookie quarterback is that you want them to
Speaker 45: be comfortable. You want to make sure they're successful. Early
Speaker 45: screen passes, little short throws build their confidence up. And
Speaker 45: so I'm guessing that's what Mike McDaniel's thinking is that
Speaker 45: this is a defense I think our rookie can have
Speaker 45: some success against.
Speaker 17: The number the total on this game is fifty and
Speaker 17: a half, So I guess the smart guys are expecting
Speaker 17: a lot of points in this game today. What about you.
Speaker 45: Yeah, Look, I think that we talked about Joe Burrow already.
Speaker 45: If there is one thing that one other takeaway from
Speaker 45: that press conference on Wednesday is that Joe Burrow was
Speaker 45: very upset with his performance again the Ravens, and he
Speaker 45: said it's an outlier. This is not something that's going
Speaker 45: to happen again. So he seems pretty determined to go
Speaker 45: out and just throw for five hundred yards against the Dolphins.
Speaker 45: That's really what it felt like. So I will not
Speaker 45: be surprised if Burrow has a huge game, and so
Speaker 45: if you're the Bengals and you score thirty thirty five points,
Speaker 45: then it's can the Dolphins keep up in a shootout
Speaker 45: with the rookie quarterback? Probably not, but I do think
Speaker 45: most of that total is the Dolphins or the Bengals
Speaker 45: and Burrow probably getting to the thirty point mare.
Speaker 17: I agree whole heartedly. I think the Bengals win this game.
Speaker 17: I mean, obviously the playoffs are out of the picture,
Speaker 17: but for all the reasons you just outlined, I think
Speaker 17: Cincinnati wins this game, and I kind of think they
Speaker 17: went it going away. It's unfortunate, you know what happened
Speaker 17: last week. It's unfortunate the way the season went. But
Speaker 17: finishing strongly. A lot of people think, well, what are
Speaker 17: they playing for? Bench Burrow? Why are you playing Burrough? No,
Speaker 17: you're paid to play football. You want to finish strongly.
Speaker 17: There is something to be said for some kind of
Speaker 17: mojo going into the next season, particularly for the players
Speaker 17: that are going to be back. So yeah, I think
Speaker 17: this game takes on importance, as does next week's in
Speaker 17: the week and one with Cleveland at the end of
Speaker 17: the season. I think they all take on importance for
Speaker 17: things like that. You don't want to walk into a season.
Speaker 17: So at the end of a seasons some sad sack,
Speaker 17: trying to rebuild your entire roster. No, these are important games,
Speaker 17: aren't they.
Speaker 45: Yeah, you definitely want to win.
Speaker 80: Out and I think for Joe Burrow specifically, it's look.
Speaker 3: These guys train all years.
Speaker 45: You're keeping your body in shape for twelve months, and
Speaker 45: you only get seventeen games. You're only guaranteed seventeen games.
Speaker 45: So when you miss nine of those, like Joe Burrow,
Speaker 45: did you miss fifty percent of that? You put all
Speaker 45: that work in and so now that you are healthy
Speaker 45: and you are able to play, you're going to have
Speaker 45: to rip Joe Burrow off the field for him not
Speaker 45: to play, because that's what he mentioned that again, it's hey, look,
Speaker 45: I'm healthy, I want to play football. It's that simple,
Speaker 45: and I think that should be the feeling in the
Speaker 45: Bengals facility. I want your star quarterback out there, you
Speaker 45: want everyone out there, and yeah, you want to get
Speaker 45: a few rookies maybe some extra playing time down a
Speaker 45: stretch now that you are eliminated from the playoffs. But
Speaker 45: I do think that playing Burrow over these final three
Speaker 45: weeks and just playing guys like you are still in
Speaker 45: the playoff race does make a lot of.
Speaker 10: Sense, so I absolutely agree with you there Ken.
Speaker 17: All right, John, Well, Merry Christmas. I know it's going
Speaker 17: to be fun Christmas for you this year, and you
Speaker 17: and I will visit down the road. But for your

Speaker 17: Buffalo is at Cleveland. Cleveland is a ten and a

Speaker 17: in the AFSEAS. Keep your eye on that one. Also,
Speaker 17: Tampa Bay at Carolina, both teams seven and seven, but
Speaker 17: Tampa Bay with the advantage at this point. This is
Speaker 17: for the fight for the NFC South Championship. Carolina is
Speaker 17: at home and is getting three two very big one
Speaker 17: o'clock games to keep your eye on. At four o'clock
Speaker 17: you have Jacksonville at Denver. Denver is giving three and
Speaker 17: a half Jacksonville is ten and four. They got a
Speaker 17: one game lead over Houston. Houston has a four to
Speaker 17: twenty five game today at home against Las Vegas. Houston
Speaker 17: is giving a lot, they're giving fourteen, but straight up
Speaker 17: and with implications, Houston is nine to five, and as
Speaker 17: I mentioned, one back of Jacksonville. In the AFC South,
Speaker 17: you have Pittsburgh Detroit as a four to twenty five game.
Speaker 17: Steelers lead the AFC North by a game. Detroit giving
Speaker 17: seven in this game is eight and six and right
Speaker 17: now is eight. In a seventeen playoff race in the
Speaker 17: National Football Conference. And then tonight Sunday Night Football, you
Speaker 17: got New England at Baltimore, Baltimore giving one one back
Speaker 17: of these Steelers in the AFC North. New England is
Speaker 17: one up on Buffalo in the East.

Speaker 18: Radio Network.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon, and welcome to count Down to Kickoff on
Speaker 11: the Cincinnati Bengals Radio Network for today's matchup between the
Speaker 11: Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. I'm Wayne box Milliy to
Speaker 11: count Down to Kickoff host, And these are the games
Speaker 11: they show who plays for the love of the game
Speaker 11: and to solidify their spot on this team or in
Speaker 11: the NFL. The Bengals are trying to rebound from hard
Speaker 11: to explain shutout lost last week, and the Dolphins are
Speaker 11: coming off a beatdown courtesy of the Steelers. Now, much
Speaker 11: has been made of Jill Burrow of the Bengals lately,
Speaker 11: most of it hyperbole, but make no mistake about him
Speaker 11: on the field. He wants to play, compete, and win.
Speaker 11: Now the Bengals will be tested by a team that
Speaker 11: played a physical brand of football for US threats last week,
Speaker 11: but looking to do that for four quarters. Standing by
Speaker 11: with today's call of the game at hard Rock Stadium,
Speaker 11: my colleagues Dan Hood and Dave Lapham, Gentlemen, can we
Speaker 11: borrow ten degrees?
Speaker 79: I'll tell you what We've got plenty down here in Miami,
Speaker 79: and let's start with that lap Last week, the game
Speaker 79: time temperature in the loss to Baltimore was ten degrees.
Speaker 79: The wind show was minus one. It is currently seventy
Speaker 79: nine degrees here in Miami, Florida. That's an eighty degree swing.
Speaker 79: Based on how it feels on the body. It certainly
Speaker 79: feels good. But could that be a problem for the
Speaker 79: Bengals today.
Speaker 89: You know, it might be if they'd let it become one, Dan,
Speaker 89: you know, if they let it if they concern themselves
Speaker 89: too much with it mentally physically though, I can tell
Speaker 89: you that doctors and trainers us when I was playing
Speaker 89: for the Cincinnati Bengals, that your blood does stick it
Speaker 89: in cold weather, in the viscosity, whatever of it it
Speaker 89: does sticking up, and then you go from that cold
Speaker 89: game down here to warm and it starts to thin out.
Speaker 89: And that process there's no pain or anything involved. It's
Speaker 89: just an adjustment that you have to make. And you
Speaker 89: got to stay hydrated. That's the biggest thing in this
Speaker 89: football game. Guys have to have plenty of water. If
Speaker 89: you think you've had enough water, drink more. You haven't
Speaker 89: had enough. That was the advice that was given to
Speaker 89: us when we came down here and played after playing
Speaker 89: in fridgid temperatures up north.
Speaker 79: How about you dropping a viscosity on the Free Hot Show.
Speaker 79: I'm impressed. Excellent Syracuse University education. Let's talk about some
Speaker 79: roster moves for the Bengals today. We've got good news.
Speaker 79: Ninety minutes from kickoff. Number one T Higgins is going
Speaker 79: to play today. Tea, of course, had concussion several weeks ago,
Speaker 79: then more concussion symptoms the game after that. Did not
Speaker 79: play last week. He was a full participant in practice.
Speaker 79: On Friday, they sent him to Pittsburgh to see one
Speaker 79: of the world's foremost concussion specialists. He signed off, everything
Speaker 79: looks good for Tea, so Ta is back today. Additionally,
Speaker 79: Cincinnati's best performer on defense this year. Cornerback DJ Turner
Speaker 79: got sick yesterday, but we just watched him go through
Speaker 79: the pregame warmups.
Speaker 17: He is active.
Speaker 79: That looks like he has recovered in twenty four hours.
Speaker 20: It does.
Speaker 89: It might be like a twenty four hour above the
Speaker 89: twenty four hour flu virus, whatever it may be. You know,
Speaker 89: there's obviously some reverse paristalsis that.
Speaker 17: May have gone on in the hotel room.
Speaker 89: But yeah, he didn't probably participate much of pre game
Speaker 89: meal and it was it was a pretty good pregame
Speaker 89: meal that the hotels put out their nice friend. But
Speaker 89: I think he'll play. I think he'll play well. But again,
Speaker 89: he has to stay hydrated because you know the concussion
Speaker 89: factor as well. I mean, when your players are dealing
Speaker 89: with concussions, the biggest thing that you have to do
Speaker 89: is if in the heat, and you know, I mean
Speaker 89: I got being my I get my belt wrong a
Speaker 89: few times and practices and games, and when the heat
Speaker 89: starts to affect you as well, that's when you start
Speaker 89: to get a little bit dizzy. Your equilibrium starts to
Speaker 89: get messed up a little bit, and you have to
Speaker 89: make sure that you're drinking more water than you think
Speaker 89: you can.
Speaker 79: The Bengals will be facing a first time starter at
Speaker 79: quarterback for the Miami Dolphins to a Tongo vy Loa
Speaker 79: getting benched after allowsing performance on Monday night in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 79: Quinn Ewers, the last quarterback selected in this year's draft,
Speaker 79: a seventh rounder out of Texas, makes his NFL starting debut.
Speaker 79: He did play briefly in a game early this year
Speaker 79: against Cleveland, but he'll be making his first start today.
Speaker 89: Yeah, and you know he played major conference. You know,
Speaker 89: Texas plays big time college football look Horns. There's no
Speaker 89: question about that. The thing is, though your defensive coordinator
Speaker 89: Al Golden has no tape on the guy, and a
Speaker 89: lot of times that can be uncomfortable for coaches going
Speaker 89: into a game where at the professional level, maybe just
Speaker 89: some preseason reps, but those are totally different than regular
Speaker 89: season and I think that's going to be a factor.
Speaker 89: They don't know exactly
