What's back? What did you 22 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: do with your time? Were you doing yard work? Were 23 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: you cramps? 24 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: Like? 25 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: What were you doing? You're hanging out with your family? 26 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 2: What's going on? 27 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing beautiful about it? 28 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 2: H What what do you make? John? 29 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 3: Let's get to the let's dive right into the heart 30 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 3: of this right now. Al Golden was stretching yesterday with 31 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: the team. Do you think this is something that they 32 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: may be self scattered during the by Do you think 33 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: this can translate to better defensive play? 34 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 6: Hey, any any additional help that they can find on 35 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 6: the ability might as well go for it, right And 36 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 6: that suffs cute to see in August, and it's kind 37 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 6: of annoying to see November a little bit. I said 38 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 6: this yesterday, But yeah, I don't know what they're trying 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 6: to do to galvanize this group of players that clearly 40 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 6: there's not a lot of faith in, but they got 41 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 6: to try something. I don't know if that means put 42 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 6: the defense corner out there in paths or anything like that. 43 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 6: But no, like right now, we haven't seen probably as 44 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 6: many adjustments as you would like to see for a 45 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 6: defense that is historically bad. And that's what the Bible 46 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 6: gives aboutand about self reflection. It's about recognizing who you 47 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 6: have who probably needs to play a little bit more, 48 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 6: who needs to play bit less. Injuries are probably going 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 6: to force their hand in some regards to then in 50 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 6: terms of swapping guys in and out, But right now 51 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 6: their problems in week ten are very similar to their 52 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 6: problems in week three, and without any new additional answers 53 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 6: coming through the door. Just about self reflection about what 54 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 6: you can do differently and who you can play more 55 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 6: or who can. 56 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: Play less, knowing not knowing no one else is coming 57 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 3: through this door. How can they how can they get 58 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: tangibly better? How can this defense coming out of a 59 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: bye be better than what they've been through the majority 60 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: of this season. 61 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 6: I think it starts with the linebackers trying to slow 62 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 6: things down a little bit with what's in front of them, 63 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 6: because right now they're taking bad angles, and bad angles 64 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 6: leads to mist tackles, and mistackles lead to these explosive plays. 65 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 6: Just trying to get the situation under control in which 66 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 6: you can have second and longs, third and manageables for 67 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 6: a defense and how bad effects what the play calling 68 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 6: could be from al Gool's perspective, because when you're just 69 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 6: going from first down the second and short to first down, 70 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 6: et cetera, et cetera, it limits you as far as 71 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 6: far as which what you can do schematically. 72 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: So it's just about guys just knowing. 73 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 6: Where to be and reading their keys and reading their 74 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 6: fits and then actually making the play when it comes 75 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 6: to them, and obviously having a better pass rush can 76 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 6: help with that when you're dealing with dropback situations. I 77 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 6: think the secondary has done okay relative to the rest 78 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 6: of the defense, aside from some obvious miscues from the 79 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 6: safeties and everything like that. But it's just about very simple, 80 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 6: correctible mistakes that need to be hroned out and hopefully 81 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 6: with you know, some reflection and some time off that 82 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 6: can happen. 83 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: Now. 84 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: You wrote about Cedric Johnson, who got his first game 85 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: action a week or so ago prior to the bye week. 86 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: I've been a big fan of his, especially the way 87 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: he ended last season. What did you see from him that, 88 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: in your mind warrants more Cedric Johnson on the field 89 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh. 90 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: I think he just. 91 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 6: Kind of shows up whenever he's called upon, and there's 92 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 6: not incredibly noticeable production, but there's there's some flashes here 93 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: and there, like, Yeah, you would like to see if 94 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 6: a larger sample size can translate into the production that 95 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 6: they need more of. I think from an athletic perspective, 96 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 6: he's a little bit on the shorter and the stockier side, 97 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 6: but there's a lot of explosion and burst that comes 98 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 6: with that, So I think he can get under the 99 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 6: pads of offensive tackles a little bit easier compared to 100 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 6: the likes of Shamar Stewart and Miles Murphy, in which 101 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 6: leverage has always been kind of an issue with those guys. 102 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 6: But there's first, there's speed around the edge, there's power, 103 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 6: and I think that has translated to some quick wins, 104 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 6: or at least quicker than what we've seen from his contemporaries. Right, So, 105 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 6: Trey Henderson going to be out this week with his 106 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 6: hip injury, Shamar Stewart is now weak to week with 107 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 6: the knee injury. 108 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 4: He needs three pass rushers that you can rotate it. 109 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 6: And now at the defensive end spot, we know Miles 110 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 6: Murphy and Joseph Sai are going to be handling the 111 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 6: line share of that. I think it's Cedric Johnson's time 112 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 6: to be number three in that rotation, to see what 113 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 6: he can do with a larger sample size and with 114 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 6: a larger opportunity in a larger role. If he only 115 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 6: played eighty three snaps last year as a rookie, he 116 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 6: played sixteen snaps last week and got three pressures against 117 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 6: the Bearers. I know that another one really noticed that 118 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 6: because of how the game was going from a totality standpoint. 119 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 6: But I think if you give him a little bit 120 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 6: more opportunity just to see what he can do, because 121 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 6: he's the draft pick from last year, you need to 122 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 6: see as many of these guys play as possible to 123 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 6: see who's worth keeping around in twenty twenty six going four, 124 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 6: So I think this is a good week to see 125 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 6: what Sedra Johnson can do. 126 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: The Joe Burrow news I think shocked everyone this week, 127 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: thinking there was a remote possibility that late in the season, 128 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: maybe Miami, maybe Arizona, that he would be able, but 129 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: you wanted at that point in time, would it even 130 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 3: make sense to come back if you're Joe Burrow now 131 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 3: that timeline has been significantly changed, are you in the 132 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: camp of when he's ready to go, you're throwing him 133 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: out there, or are you waiting to see what happens 134 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: this week, maybe next week, and then make a decision 135 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: off of that. 136 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 6: So I don't have a job on the line here, 137 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 6: so naturally my perspective is going to be different than 138 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 6: the people in the building. I would imagine it's as 139 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 6: simple as if your quarterback, one your franchise quarterback is 140 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 6: healthy enough to play, not as healthy enough to play. 141 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 6: If he's as healthy as you could expect him to 142 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 6: be in late November early December, and he's able to play, 143 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 6: then you play the quarterback. It probably doesn't matter too 144 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 6: much what the situation with the playoff scenario is. I 145 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 6: would imagine that they want as many wins as possible 146 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 6: so that as many people in that building can keep 147 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 6: their jobs, and Joe Burrow does a great job of 148 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 6: providing job security to a lot of people in that 149 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 6: building right so, as well as Joe Flacco has played 150 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 6: in recent weeks, I think these next couple leeks are 151 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 6: going to be very important to see if that continues 152 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 6: to be sustainable, especially against a really good defense in 153 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 6: New England, especially on the road, agains the team he 154 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 6: knows well in Baltimore, like, if he has to play 155 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 6: in those games, how he does is obviously not only 156 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 6: going an impact that the Bengals can actually win those games, 157 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 6: but also how much they may need Burrow in case 158 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 6: this does end up being in a situation which they're 159 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 6: alive for the playoffs and they can go down the stretch. 160 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 6: So yes, it was a major surprise. I think to 161 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 6: all of us on the outside, it's very clear that 162 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 6: internally they had this sort of timeline played out and 163 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 6: they weren't necessarily shocked by it. But I think if 164 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 6: Burrow is able to play, it doesn't really matter about 165 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 6: the risk of re injuring him. If he's able to play, 166 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: He's Joe Burrow. 167 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: He's gonna play. 168 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: Is there any concern coming out of the ball? I mean, 169 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: we're at a point where Joe Flacco is not thrown 170 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: the first couple of days. He's expected to throw today. 171 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: But is there a concern of you know, Mo has 172 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: used the term this week of Joe Flacco of eventually 173 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: turning back into a pumpkin. Is there a concern for 174 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 3: you at some point that it's just not going to 175 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: be as smooth as what we've seen. 176 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's possible, right, Like I think because 177 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 6: of just who Joe Flats has always been in his career, 178 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 6: you would naturally expected those tendencies, of the up and 179 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 6: down nature of going through the season with him, it 180 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 6: would eventually catch up to him, especially at this point 181 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 6: in his career. I think it definitely benefits the fact 182 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 6: that he has wide receivers that win so quickly on 183 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 6: the outside that he doesn't have to deal with pressure 184 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 6: and therefore he's taking pure hit. So of course in 185 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 6: this scenario, he still. 186 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: Ends up ends up getting demmed up a little bit. 187 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 6: And that's why he's not throwing as much during the week, 188 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 6: right So it is very possible that he could turn 189 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 6: back into a Pumpkins as pointly pointed out, which is 190 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 6: why I think they wanted to see what Burrow can 191 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 6: do of these next couple of weeks, just to prepare 192 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 6: for that. I think right now they've just envisioned themselves 193 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 6: as not being out, you know, out of the woods yet, 194 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 6: and like they're very much in this and how the 195 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 6: quarterback plays is going to be so dependent upon if 196 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 6: that continues to be the case. So I think we 197 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 6: can expect, we should expect anything and everything from Joe 198 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 6: Black at this point. It's been amazing to see him 199 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 6: in the past four weeks, but you know, there's a 200 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 6: reason why he was able. 201 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: To be traded in the first place. So we're going 202 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: to see this as sustainable. 203 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: Second matchup coming up against the Steelers this weekend, it's 204 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: always tricky the second time around. What do you make 205 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh in the weeks following their loss to the Bengals, 206 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: and how do you expect them to try to maybe 207 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: play Cincinnati differently this time around. 208 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 6: They're pretty disjointed for a Mike Tomlin team, like I 209 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 6: would imagine, there's not a lot of positivity going on 210 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 6: to that locker room right now, especially after. 211 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 4: What they just did against the Chargers. 212 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers his efficiency has dwindled dramatically since playing the 213 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 6: Bengals back in Week seven. He's taking three sacks a 214 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 6: game over the past three weeks. Obviously, his offense and 215 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 6: around him is not what it probably should be to 216 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 6: support a quarterback at that. 217 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: Stage in his career. 218 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 6: It's just DK Metcalf and a bunch of guys and 219 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 6: the offensive line is not necessarily playing well either, right, 220 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 6: So it's not looking great for them. And I think defensively, 221 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 6: they have put together this group of players that they 222 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 6: managine to play a certain style of defense, and clearly 223 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 6: it's not a style that's, you know, going to work 224 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 6: against the Bengals. So how they adjust with that and 225 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 6: how they make sure they give safety help over the 226 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 6: talage more. 227 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 4: Chase is going to be imperative there. But you know, 228 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: they're the Steelers. 229 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 6: And somehow they find answers to some of these tough games, 230 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 6: and that's always gonna be something I count on when 231 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 6: whenever Mike Tomlin is coaching that team. But you know, 232 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 6: if they're looking for a bounce back game, I can 233 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 6: find a lot of other teams that wouldn't be as 234 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 6: ad for that than than the Bengals right now. 235 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: The bye week allows for self scout for a team. 236 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: It also provides, you know a chance to look at 237 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 3: tendencies and different things like that. When you look back 238 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: at where this team is at, how do you evaluate 239 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: the offensive line as a whole at this point through 240 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 3: the year. 241 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 4: It's been a mixed bag. 242 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: I think considering the fact that they just stumbled their 243 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 6: way to the star position, I think it's okay with 244 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 6: where it's at now. I think you have a piece 245 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 6: in Dylan Fairchild that you can go into next year 246 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 6: hoping that he can progress. We haven't really seen that 247 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 6: progression from Mamarus Mimms, but I think he's still been 248 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 6: good enough to be like, Okay, you can keep him 249 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 6: out there and he can continue to grow he just 250 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 6: turned twenty three years old, right, so he's still very young. 251 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 6: Orleana Browns Junior, I think is firmly in the back 252 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 6: half of his career at this point, and there's gonna 253 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 6: be more weeks than you would like where he's just 254 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 6: not really playing well and he's losing the speed. And 255 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 6: then Ted Carris is still holding on at center. So 256 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 6: it's a weird composition of players at different points in 257 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 6: their career. But I think they're all playing okay as 258 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 6: a union, and it's like, yeah, we're in the heart 259 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 6: of the season, we're not really talking about the offensive 260 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 6: line as a major glaring issue for this team, and 261 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 6: I think relative to the history of the recent history 262 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 6: of the Bengals, that's a massive win, right, But there's 263 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: always more that they can do. I think they need 264 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 6: to see a little bit more out of Jalen Rivers 265 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 6: to be comfortable with having him in the competition for 266 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 6: next year at right guard. 267 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 4: So these final leagues are going to be really big 268 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 4: for him. 269 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 6: So it's very much a mixed bag, I would say, 270 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 6: but it's not definitely not the worst of the world. 271 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: How much more can they unlock with Chase Brown It 272 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 3: just feels so directly tied to Joe Flacco's ability to 273 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: go under center. How can they unlock more out of 274 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 3: Chase Brown now going forward with the assumption that a 275 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: team like Pittsburgh is going to say, we're not going 276 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: to let you throw twenty three passes to Jamar Chase 277 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 3: and complete sixteen of them. 278 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 6: Man, they really were close to doing that a couple 279 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 6: weeks ago before he dropped that pass. 280 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: That would have been a touchdown, right. 281 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 6: I think they've had opportunities to feature him more in 282 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: the past game. Unfortunately under Zach Taylor, they've never been 283 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 6: a great offense with executing screens, and partly that has 284 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 6: to do the offensive line not being able to get 285 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 6: out in space and things of that nature. But I 286 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 6: think he is a very capable pass catcher, and I 287 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 6: feel like that's just the next step of making sure 288 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 6: that you're utilizing him in that sense where it's not 289 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 6: just you know, it's in garbage time against the Bears 290 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 6: and you're just trying to catch up and you just. 291 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 4: Dump off after dump off with him. 292 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 6: I think there's still a way that you can utilize 293 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 6: him in the past game that compliments what he can 294 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 6: do in the wrung game. I'm very encouraged by what 295 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 6: I've seen from the wrong game. You're right, and I 296 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 6: think part of that is just making sure that the 297 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 6: second level continues to be open so he gets in 298 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 6: space to make guys miss and obviously use that acceilaration 299 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 6: that he has. So we've been progress there, and I 300 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 6: think just making sure that you utilize the full flex 301 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 6: of his abilities as a well rounded player, making sure 302 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 6: that he's still involved in the past. 303 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: Game that can continue to compliment with what they're doing 304 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 4: in the rung geam. 305 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: I wonder you know, we mentioned the path forward and 306 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: the Bengals certainly believe in the past. John, as we 307 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: sit here today, in your view of this team, do 308 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: you view this as a team that still has one 309 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 3: final run left in him that can take the Joe 310 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 3: Burrow news and that adds enough spark to this locker room? 311 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 3: Do you see or feel a run left in this 312 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: in this Bengals team this year. 313 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 6: I'm not going to count him out because I've just 314 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 6: seen him do it a couple you know enough in 315 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 6: recent years under this coaching. 316 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: Staff, so that's always in play. 317 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 6: You always expect the Bengals to play their best when 318 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 6: October turns to November and the game has become even 319 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 6: more important, And I think that's honestly a really strong 320 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 6: test or a testament to see how together this locker 321 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 6: room remains to be. 322 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 4: I think it was really notable last week how. 323 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 6: Offensive and defensively, how those players responded to that win, 324 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 6: and how they're going to come back now and regroup 325 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 6: and try to just work together as a collective locker 326 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 6: room to do what they've tried to do over the 327 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 6: past two years and just take the take the first 328 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 6: two months of the season, throw it in the trash. 329 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 4: It's the new season. 330 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 6: Obviously, the opponents are going to be tougher within these 331 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 6: next five weeks, which is why my authorism is not 332 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 6: necessarily great, because let's be honest, like the teams in 333 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 6: front of them for the next five weeks are all better. 334 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 4: Than the Bengals. 335 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 6: They're going to be underdogs in every single one of 336 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 6: those games, and then you probably need to win most 337 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 6: of them in order to keep this postseason hope alive. 338 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 6: So this is a really strong test and I'm not 339 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 6: counting them out because I've seen him do it before, 340 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 6: but I've also seen him do it Joe Burrow and 341 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,359 Speaker 6: he's not walking through that door just yet. 342 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: Awesome stuff.

What the defense was, 533 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: not who they are. Al Golden now stretches with the defense. 534 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 3: So let's give them a chance, because he's not done 535 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: that yet.

Oh, 547 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: here we go again. That's a funny visual. Oh my god. 548 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 16: This has been read and React, Read and react, brought 549 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 16: to you by it from a read and react. 550 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping to get. 551 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: Hey, guys, apparently tackling dummy just scrambled eighty five yards 552 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 3: for touchdown. 553 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: What is that sound? Can you sound? I need that? 554 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: Hey guys, h Eric, Eric, can you please tell me 555 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: where you found that sound? 556 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 4: What's up? 557 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 2: Fellas? 558 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 8: So? 559 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 5: I know the narrative with Burrow coming back is that 560 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter because the defense stinks. But I'm 561 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 5: looking at time of sction percentage last year with Burrow 562 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: starting all the games, it was fifty one percent last 563 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: game versus the Bears is forty three percent with Flacco 564 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 5: because I think he has a tendency to score quicker 565 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 5: than Burrow. So maybe that eight percent difference means you 566 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 5: keep the defense off the field a bit more. 567 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: Okay, maybe I would say that's possible for anything to 568 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: keep the defense off the field. 569 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: I would also challenge that part of the reason it's 570 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: for the defense. 571 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 9: Repping the city out here in sunny What up Tony? 572 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 9: What up? 573 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 6: Body? 574 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: Tony? 575 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 9: Got lumpy? 576 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: Your throw?

They 579 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 9: six and three, They should be eight and one. Stop 580 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 9: the run and feature Joe Royer in this offense. This 581 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 9: weekend and only poll that matters is the college football 582 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 9: playoff pole, not that top twenty five pole. 583 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: That pole is irrelevant. 584 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 9: Now, bear cast, this is your time to take the 585 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 9: city this weekend, Coach Sat, get this win and prove 586 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 9: everybody that we can win games. 587 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 16: Come on, Yeah, guys, if Joe Burrow is healthy, he 588 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 16: plays okay, period. Yeah, he's the leader of this football team. 589 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 16: And how are you going to expect other guys to 590 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 16: go out there, especially if they're a little dinged up 591 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 16: and give it all they got if your leader is 592 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 16: healthy and not playing, so to me, it's a slam duck. 593 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: If he is healthy, he needs to be out there. 594 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: Who they okay? Feel that position? 595 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 3: What Let's say let's say Chase Brown was injured, and 596 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 3: let's say p Ryan has put up the numbers that 597 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 3: Chase Brown has over the last three games, and then 598 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 3: Chase Brown's healthy, would you be saying we'll give Chase 599 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: Brown back his starting role?

Or just because it's Joe Burrow? No, 605 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 3: I don't think so, just because it's Joe Burrow. 606 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you. 607 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 17: When Jerry D's on the show, he brings some c 608 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 17: oh ass with them. 609 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: Shout out to the joker, Yeah a J.

This is from Seth Wickersham and Don 674 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 2: Van Nada Junior of ESPN. Hi Seth, the NFL filed 675 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: a grievance against the NFL Players Association, asking the union 676 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 2: to stop its annual team report cards, saying the exercise 677 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: violates the CBA by airing public criticism of teams. According 678 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: to documents obtained by ESPN, the league claims the report cards, 679 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: which pole players on various aspects of working conditions, violate 680 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: a CBA clause that says NFL owners and the union 681 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: must use reasonable efforts to curtail public comments by club 682 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: personnel or players which express criticism of any club, its coach, 683 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: or its operation and policy. And apparently the person behind this, 684 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: you want to take a guess which NFL owner was 685 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: leading the charge against this, Which one that would be 686 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 2: one Woody Johnson of the New York Jets. He called 687 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: the survey quote totally bogus shocker. So that's one of 688 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: my favorite days of the year on this show to 689 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 2: go through that. It's I think this is soft by 690 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: the NFL, but feel a little soft. But if it 691 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: does violate the agreement, well then no one to blame 692 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: but yourself if you're the NFLPA, Right, Yeah, those report 693 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: cards our fund though, we have a lot of fun 694 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: with them. After months of discussions with the league after 695 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: the letter, the NFLPA alerted its players to the grievance 696 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: last week and said quote, it's moving ahead with this 697 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 2: year's survey. 698 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 3: One owner told ESPN the quote, the only owners who 699 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 3: don't care for it are the ones who get subpar grains. 700 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: That's true. We have responded to the grievance with our 701 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: intention to fight against this action and continue what's clearly 702 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: become an effective tool for comparing workplace standards across the 703 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: league and equipping you to make informed career decisions. The 704 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: NFLPA wrote in an email to its players, that is incredible. 705 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: It couldn't make you better. But they don't share how. 706 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: They just take snippets to embarrass people. M okay, well, 707 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 2: I think I enjoy them. Speaking of Woody Johnson, his 708 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: team's in action tonight. That's right, old Woodrow Jets Patriots. 709 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: Any chance, any chance the Jets can shock the Patriots? 710 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always a chance. It's national Fourteen and a 711 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 3: half is the number? Oh, my lord, thirteen and a half. 712 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 3: There's always a chance. Man, it's a National Football League. 713 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 2: I think Drake May is now the odds on favorite 714 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 2: to win MVP? Are they? I think so? Did I 715 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: see today? I think it was? I want to say 716 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: Kay Adams was posting this that the Chiefs have become 717 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 2: the favorite to win the Super Bowl on Fandel Is 718 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 2: that real? Did I make that up? I could have 719 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: dreamt that, you well, you might have dreamt it. The 720 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: problem is like when if I dream of something like that, 721 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: I wake up and I put it on an alarm 722 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 2: on my phone. Have you like, have you ever had 723 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 2: a try that. I have this iPad with me all 724 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 2: the time. I'll always write and stuff. Yeah. Have you 725 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: ever gone through like a period of sleep in your life? 726 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 2: And I know you're sleep scheduled last few years? Crazy 727 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: like sleep? You ever like lay down and feels like 728 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: you're asleep for five minutes? Yes, and boom, it's six 729 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. Yes, that has been like the 730 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: last two weeks for me. I feel like I took 731 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 2: a five minute nap and you're back and it's six am. 732 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 3: According to Draft Kings, as of today, Matthew Stafford is 733 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 3: the odds on favorite to win the MVP plus two sixty. 734 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 3: What about Super Bowl? Drake may is plus two seventy five. 735 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 3: So those are your top two. Let's figure out a 736 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Yeah, right now? Chiefs plus six hundred are 737 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl. 738 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 2: Plus six hundred is pretty good value. 739 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: I feel like Ram could be worth a sprinkle plus 740 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 3: six fifty, and then the Eagles at plus seven fifty 741 00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: tied with the line. 742 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm all in on the Eagles 743 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 2: going back to back. 744 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 3: The AFC team, the Chiefs are the number one of 745 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 3: the highest odds, and then it's four NFC teams, Rams, Eagles, Lions, Seahawks, 746 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 3: and then you get the Colts and Bills. Ravens are 747 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 3: plus thirteen hundred. The Ravens have better Super Bowl odds 748 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 3: right now than the Patriots, Packers, Broncos, Bucks, Chargers, Niners, 749 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 3: and Bengals. What's Tampa's Tampa plus twenty five hundred. That 750 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 3: ain't bad for a sprinkle. 751 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 2: I like that a lot. Bengals plus thirty thousand. What 752 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 2: about Detroit? What are they?

Does the Super Bowl winner come out 756 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 3: of the AFC or the NFC as of right now, 757 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the AFC because I think the NFC 758 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 3: is going to beat each other up more in the playoffs. Okay, interesting, 759 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 3: I'll take the other side. I got the NFC, all right, 760 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 3: marinate on that for a second.

Okay, should the Bengals start kicking an 793 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 3: on side kick every time they score? Feels like the 794 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 3: percentage of recoveries and the defense getting to stop is 795 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 3: about the same. 796 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Yeah, you know, I see, like that crazy. 797 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: It's really not that crazy.

I don't hate the idea. 799 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 2: I mean, they're one for one on on side kicks 800 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 2: this year. That's one hundred percent, by the way saying, 801 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: But yet I think I'd go for it. Might help 802 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 2: with the time of possession issue we discussed earlier. Time 803 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 2: of possession would be helped drink the field strength field. Yeah, 804 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: if they're going to give up touchdowns, might as well 805 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: not give up yards. I love it. 806 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 3: You win the time of possession, you win the total yardage. 807 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 3: Can you imagine you can put up banners for that 808 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 3: if you do, Like, let's say you recover one a game. 809 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 3: I know that's a tall task, but is you steal 810 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 3: one extra possession? 811 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 2: Again? 812 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 3: I mean if DEFENSI philosophy is the same. Anyway, you're 813 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 3: gonna give up yards and hope to hold them to 814 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 3: a field goal instead of a touchdown. So might as 815 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 3: well just get them closer to that field goal to 816 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,439 Speaker 3: start the drive. 817 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 2: Well, I guess we'll find out if they listen to 818 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: us at pay Course Stadium or not.

What do you think? 831 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 16: You know? 832 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 2: What's actually crazy is I wouldn't put it past Darren 833 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 2: Simmons to actually come up with this idea. Imagine like 834 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 2: a coaches meeting. Simmons is like, I gotta hear me out. 835 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 3: I gotta hear me out.
