17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: What's going on? John?

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: Don't know?

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: What's good?

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 4: Said?

21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 5: I appreciate you asking, Austin, because I am going to

22
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 5: the game. Let's go to the game with another I'm

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 5: going to the game with another girl. Man whose name

24
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 5: is my dad. And he also forgot to wear white today.

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 5: And I'm like, come on, Dad, like everyone knows what

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 5: this game is. So I'm actually in the parking lot

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 5: of Dick's Morning Goods about to get him like a

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 5: cheap white shirt so you can wear it tonight.

29
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: That's awesome and it sounds like something my dad would

30
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: do as well. So let's start with the matchups tonight

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: this game. When you think Bengals Steelers, when you think

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: about this game, what's the first matchup that comes to

33
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: mind in what will determine the outcome?

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 5: It's always the Pittsburgh defensive line, is it not. It's

35
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 5: been the staple of them for how many years?

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 6: Fifty?

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, something like that.

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 5: But they've always had good pass rushers, right, They've always

39
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 5: had good guys up front, and the Bengals offensive line

40
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 5: has always struggled against them no matter what the personnel is.

41
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 5: I remember, you know, in the last year's to the

42
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: Jonah Williams this year, like he got, you know, beating

43
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 5: like a ren and mule against Alex.

44
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 7: Higsmith and company.

45
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 5: Alex hig Smith is still there, and I think that's

46
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: a really good matchup for Pittsburgh against Ernanda Brown Junior,

47
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: who's not having a really good season, and I think

48
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: he's the type of pass rusher that can get under

49
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: your pads, you can win around the edge, and that's

50
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 5: always been the player archetype that is, you know, caused

51
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: Lean Brown, You're going to struggle. So when you're talking

52
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: about Steelers defense line that has not just Alex heismanth

53
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 5: obviously t J.

54
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 7: Watt and Cameron Hayward are the main guys there.

55
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: And Cameron Hayward, you know, baptized as a rookie guard

56
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 5: for the Bengals basically every single year, and now you

57
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 5: have two of them, and Dylan Fairchild and Jaalen Rivers

58
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 5: going up against them for the first time. That's just

59
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 5: the grown man in Cam Hayward, who's thirty six years

60
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: old and still is one of the very best players

61
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: in this position. So it's always been a mismatch for

62
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 5: the Bengals up front trying to block these guys. And

63
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: now that you have a quarterback and Joe Flacco who

64
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: should be more a little bit more comfortable in this

65
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 5: offense after being here for a week instead it was

66
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: a handful of days. But still I'm interested just like

67
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 5: I was last week, and how Flacco handles the pressure

68
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 5: and how the Bengals office line make sure that they mitigate,

69
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: you know, the obvious mismatches there to make sure the

70
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 5: ball gets out, make sure that the defensive lineman don't

71
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: ruin the game like they typically normally do in this matchup.

72
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Now, I did think that Flacco looked a little bit

73
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: slow when he was trying to avoid the rush against

74
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: Green Bay, But I also thought that was okay, Like

75
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: that was good enough of a performance. There's something there.

76
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: What did you like about what you saw from Flacco

77
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: against the Packers?

78
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean you needed to see what he did in

79
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 5: the second half, right, because the first half obviously wasn't

80
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 5: good enough. This team still hasn't scored the first half

81
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: touchdowns since Week two. Right, Joe Burrow was in there,

82
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: and you'd like to see him get into rhythm and

83
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: just just trust the playmakers on the outside. I think

84
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 5: the majority of his targets went went to Jamar Chase

85
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: and Tiggins, and with Mikaseeki out for the foreseeable future,

86
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: that should remain the case, especially with andre yosabauch not

87
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: necessarily having a good season on his own, but taking

88
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 5: advantage of one on one matchups when you get it

89
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 5: with Chase and Higgins on the boundary. If Flaco still

90
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 5: trusts his arm, he's still accurate enough to get the

91
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: ball where it needs to go, and he's been a

92
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 5: lot more efficient with getting the ball out under two

93
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: a half seconds. I believe Paul and her Junior have

94
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: pulled up some great stats in this Leaves article with

95
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 5: the Athletic about how much more efficient the offense is

96
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: with Flakka getting the ball out within the first tree

97
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: half seconds compared to Jake Browning. And that is going

98
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: to be the base of this offense because again, you

99
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: can't trust pass protection against matchups like this, so Flacco

100
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 5: needs to be sustained rhythm to identify, you know, where

101
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: the matchups are at his disposal, and just take advantage

102
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: of Jamar Chase and Chigins because they're going to be

103
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: advantages against most quarterbacks that they play, especially tonight, like

104
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: Darius Slay Junior and Joey Porter Junior and Jalen Ramsy.

105
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 5: They're all really good quarterbacks, but you still don't want

106
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: to take advantage of Jamar Chase when you have him,

107
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: and I think seeing that connection grow last week against

108
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: the Packers, that was a really promising.

109
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: Sign yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent. The

110
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: other thing, too, is being able to run the football.

111
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: They weren't great against the Packers. They haven't been great

112
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: all season. The Steelers sixteenth ranked run defense, allowing over

113
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: one hundred yards per game on the ground. Do you

114
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: feel like tonight is a chance for them to get

115
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: it going at all? Even though that Steeler defensive line

116
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: is good, Like you mentioned, it's.

117
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: Really tough to imagine at this point, they are on

118
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 5: track to maybe one of the worst rushing offenses in

119
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: the history of the league. And it's troubling to see

120
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: how Chase Brown can't get anything going in front of him,

121
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: and the fact that they can't utilize his athleticism and

122
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: his burst and everything like that. It still remains a

123
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 5: really porous scheme, and I think the stuff in the

124
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 5: games that the Steelers defensive line typically run it makes

125
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 5: things a little bit more complicated, like that, there are

126
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: high risk, high reward opportunities when defensive linemen kind of

127
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 5: slant in the rushes a little bit and trees up

128
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: some gaps. But if you don't have the confident bodies

129
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: up front to get them out of the way and

130
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: displace them, then it ends up disrupting you more more

131
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: times than not. So it's always been tough to run

132
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 5: against the Steelers again that they cause a lot of

133
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: chaos up front, and I just there's not a lot

134
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: of confidence right now for me in the personnel upfront

135
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 5: for blocking to these guys. You like how hard somebowosip

136
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: around runs, and you like the fact that Chase Brown

137
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 5: he can't get a full head of scene when you

138
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: have a little bit of space, But there's just not

139
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: a lot of space to be found, and it's hard

140
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: for me to see any space being found at night.

141
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: How do you expect the offense to change, if at all,

142
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: with Mike Giseki being out.

143
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we saw how Tanner Hudson could fill

144
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: that role a little bit. He caught the touchdown last week,

145
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: but now he's in the concusion protocol. Right, So you

146
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: go from an offense that had five fight ins at

147
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: the disposed of down to three, and with Kaseki out,

148
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 5: that does mean that yose Vash is going to play more.

149
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 5: You could see more snaps for a guy like Mitchell Tinsley,

150
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 5: who's now wide receiver for Charlie Jones, is still dealing

151
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: with an injury, and Jermaine Burton he's in limbo obviously,

152
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 5: so you would expect to see, you know, more usage

153
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 5: deeper into the wide receiver group for the guys who

154
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: are active. I would like to see Noah Fan get

155
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 5: some more opportunity as well. It seems like in the

156
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: game three he's involved, He's always at at least four targets,

157
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: which I think is a little bit more than even

158
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: I expected for a guy who was signed so late

159
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 5: in the offseason. But you know, this is an interesting

160
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: night to see who Flacko trusts in those opportunities. Because

161
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: obviously Drew Sample and Cam Grandy, we know who they are.

162
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 5: They're just in there to block and catch and catch,

163
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: you know, short passes and try to run up to

164
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 5: the catch. But Noah Fan, I think needs to take

165
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 5: another step up, and I'm interested to see if Flacko

166
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: trust him.

167
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: Enough to do that. Talking to John Sheeran covering the

168
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 2: Bengals A is the Sports Johnny wrote your Bengals report card,

169
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: and you mentioned DJ Turner as being a pleasant surprise,

170
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: and especially the way he's played over the last month

171
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: and the way he played against Green Bay. What have

172
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: you seen from him? That makes him or has led

173
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: to a little bit more consistent and an uptick in

174
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: his level of play.

175
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 5: I think when you have an elite athlete like DJ Turner, right,

176
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: the number one thing for him at cornerback is to

177
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: control that athleticism and matching mirror the speed of the

178
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: guys that he's going up against, because that allows him

179
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: to stay in position to make plays in the ball.

180
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 8: Right.

181
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: It's one thing to be fast enough to you know,

182
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: be able to stay with a guy on a vertical round, right,

183
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 5: but your change the direction, your balance, your ability to

184
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: stay in the hip hocket these guys and be physical.

185
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 5: I think Dj has shown pretty much all of those

186
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: qualifications and all those attributes, and now he's finding the

187
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: ball out better. Like you don't get five passes defense

188
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: in one game out of pure luck, right, Like quarterbacks

189
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: are obviously testing you. But I think DJ really showed

190
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: a lot last week and not only staying with guys

191
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: but then finding the ball making a play on the ball.

192
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: That's Those are the impact plays that you don't always

193
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 5: see from this secondary, and you haven't really seen from

194
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 5: a cornerback in the secondary in a while. You saw

195
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: a little bit flashes with that of Cam Tailberg when

196
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: he was on his game, but obviously he hasn't been

197
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: on his game for quite some time, so it looks

198
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 5: like Turner is the guy that they would trust the

199
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: most going up against you know, whoever the opposing number

200
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: one receiver is this week. Is really interesting because DK

201
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: Metcalf is a you know, physical freak who definitely outsizes

202
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: DJ Turner that reguard, But they may have the most

203
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: trust in Turner to stay with him and try to

204
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: make plays in the ball because he's doing that better

205
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: than anyone in the secondary right now.

206
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna ask, like, would you imagine he

207
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: would he would follow DK Metcalf around. I know the

208
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: Bengals don't do that often, but if Calvin Austin is

209
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: out and that's their best weapon and maybe their best

210
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: performing corner, do you think they would do something like that.

211
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 7: I'm really interested to find out.

212
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: I think this is this would be such an opportunity

213
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 5: for Cam Tobert to earn back trust. I think back

214
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 5: to two years ago when he played DK Metcalf for

215
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: the Seahawks. That was one of his best games ever.

216
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 5: He really got into his head. He got the interception

217
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 5: and everything like that. Of course, you're gonna give up

218
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 5: a big plays to Metcalf because he's playing like one

219
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: of the best receivers in the NFL, and he's basically

220
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: like the entirety of that Pittsburgh passing game is running

221
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 5: through him right now, So you know they're going to

222
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: feature him and involve him. So I think it comes

223
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: down to just more than just one guy for the Bengals.

224
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: I don't think you want to have Dj Turner following

225
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 5: in around for six he plays the game. I think

226
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 5: this could be a situation where quarterbacks stay on their

227
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 5: sides and you just maybe try to brack it Metchalf

228
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 5: a little bit, gets some help from the safeties. But yeah,

229
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 5: if it's gonna be Dj Turner against Metcalf all night, like,

230
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 5: there's gonna be some goball opportunities and Metcalf is going

231
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 5: to try to use the size to win that matchup

232
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 5: for sure.

233
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Logan Wilson was benched against the Packers in favor of

234
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: Barrett Carter. He handed it really well. I don't know

235
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: that it entirely makes sense. What do you make of

236
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: Logan Wilson's benching.

237
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 7: It's very interesting.

238
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 5: I think it would make more sense like he said,

239
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: if the rookies were playing significantly better than him, and

240
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 5: I just don't think there's anyone really in that position

241
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: group that is standing out above the rest. I think

242
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: identifying and drafting two linebackers in the first four rounds

243
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: it definitely means more now than maybe what it did,

244
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 5: you know, back when the draft was happening, and you

245
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: think that Breck Carter is just going to be this

246
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: long term replacement for Logan Wilson. It's not like Logan

247
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: Wilson is playing significantly great. Obviously he's he's playing less

248
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: for a reason. But I just don't I don't see

249
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 5: why this makes sense other than the fact that just

250
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 5: giving the young guys a lot more reps to prove

251
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 5: themselves unless there's things in practice that we're not seeing.

252
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of flashes and a lot of

253
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: promise from Bark Carter, you know, between Monday and Saturday, right,

254
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: and they want to give him chance to prove that

255
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

256
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 7: But at the same time, you're paying a lot for

257
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 7: Logan Wilson.

258
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: I don't think he's that much different of a player

259
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: than what you would have expected him to be. So

260
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: it just seems like a really aggressive move by this

261
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: coaching staff to really see what their return on investment

262
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: for these rookies are. And if it works out, it

263
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: works out great, then they have bear Carter for the

264
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 5: next handful of years and then they can slide with

265
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 5: what to do with Wilson. But if you're not seeing

266
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 5: it from Carter yet in terms of just a consistent player,

267
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: I'm not sure it makes entirely a lot of sense.

268
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport reported this morning it's a long shot for

269
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson to be able to play short week with

270
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: the hip injury. If he doesn't, how can the Bengals

271
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: dial up some pressures against Aaron Rodgers. What would be

272
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: the plan for Al Golden?

273
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: Do you think, Well, he said that Schmartiwver is going

274
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 5: to play a ton, and I think the more that

275
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 5: you move him around and the more that you get

276
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 5: him maybe almost in the two point stands to just

277
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: use as much speed and explosion that you can. I

278
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: think that's the best way to compensate for not having

279
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: your true difference maker out there. I think Golden saying

280
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: that about Stewart was kind of foreshadowing how he felt

281
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: about Trey in this game, and whether or not he

282
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: plays or not, he may not be able to play

283
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: the whole game even if he is active. Right, So

284
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: Miles Murphy's probably going to start. Schmart Stewart's probably gonna

285
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 5: be that third edge. He's gonna be not only lying

286
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 5: up on the edge, but he's also gonna be inside.

287
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: They're gonna use him on all three downs because he's

288
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: really good and really chaotic against the run.

289
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be tough.

290
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 5: You definitely need to do things differently because you just

291
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 5: can't expect the pass ruses that you have to win

292
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: every single one on one matchup when really only Trey

293
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: Hendrickson could do that consistently.

294
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: How good are the Steelers really like? Are they legit

295
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: contender in the AFC? Are they a product of their schedule?

296
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: How do you view the Steelers?

297
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 5: I think the Steelers have some different faces every single year,

298
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 5: but they always are pretty much the same team. And

299
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: sometimes they start the season really slow and then they

300
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 5: entered the playoff race in November December and they make

301
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 5: it into nine and eight. Sometimes they started in this

302
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: in this case four and one and then they fall

303
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 5: back down to nine eight, But they always end up

304
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: around nine to eight, ten and seven, are always in

305
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: the conversation, always physical, They don't make a lot of

306
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 5: critical mistakes, and they typically have an offense that's just

307
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 5: barely good enough to complement their defense. And I think

308
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 5: that's pretty much been the case this year. I think

309
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is about the quarterback that the Jets should

310
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 5: have expected at you know, thirty nine to forty years

311
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 5: old at this point, and obviously he was a tremendous

312
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 5: disaster for the Jets, but he clearly still has just

313
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: enough to be a competent quarterback and run a competent offense.

314
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: But you know that passing offense again is entirely run

315
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: through DK Metcalf. They're really desperate for maybe a guy

316
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 5: like George Pickens if they had him. They don't have

317
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: a ton of great success with running the football right now,

318
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: and that's a little bit different compared to years past.

319
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 7: But I think they're just a solid team. They're obviously not.

320
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 5: I think gonna be finished with more than like ten

321
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 5: or eleven wins necessarily, but definitely serious enough to make

322
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 5: the playoffs and definitely win this game for sure.

323
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: Let's say that the Steelers do win the game. Do

324
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: you anticipate any dominoes falling for the Bengals afterwards, like

325
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: a coach losing his job or a Trey Hendrickson potentially

326
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: getting traded. What domino's do you anticipate to fall if

327
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: the Bengals can't win tonight?

328
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: You know, the Bengals are never the sellers, right, They're

329
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 5: never the ones that want to just liquidate assets for

330
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 5: the sake of liquidation, for the sake of a last season.

331
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: I think the fact that they traded for a quarterback

332
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: not even two weeks ago, it means that they still

333
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 5: feel like they can do something with the season. I'm

334
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 5: not sure if two and five and this AFC climate

335
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 5: is going to make them immediately feel that. I think

336
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 5: the only reason we're talking about is because A this

337
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: is a divisional game against the divisional leader, and b

338
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 5: because it's going to be a long week of rest

339
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: after the Thursday night game, so that's naturally a time

340
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 5: could make changes. But I don't think you're going to

341
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 5: see a coach firing after this game. I think it's

342
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 5: still a little bit too early in the season for that.

343
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 5: And the one thing I am curious though, is that

344
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 5: if Logan Wilson is truly just ten snaps a game guy.

345
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: How much injuriest could you get for him on the

346
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: trade deadline, because at the end of the day, you're

347
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: paying a lot of money for guy who's not playing

348
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: a lot. So that could be an interesting domino based

349
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: on how the next two weeks ago. But I don't

350
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: think anything significant is gonna happen from this game, specifically.

351
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: On the flip side of that, if they do win

352
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: and obviously perform the way they are expected to, at

353
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: least against the Jets and maybe the Bears, could you

354
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: see them dipping their toe into the trade waters again.

355
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: Could you see them be a little bit more aggressive

356
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: if they feel like there's a chance to get you know,

357
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: back in it in this conference with Burrow coming back

358
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: later on.

359
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: It has to be the right deal, right, It has

360
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: to be potentially like a player for player trade or

361
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: another pick swap, like they've already sacrificed a.

362
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 7: Little bit of draft capital.

363
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: A little bit draft capital for them is a lot

364
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: of draft capital for them, So that's always relative, and

365
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: it may depend on any other injuries that they may suffer.

366
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 5: I think they expect to get healthier as the weeks

367
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: go on. Obviously, the Gaseki injury kind of ruins that

368
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: a little bit, but I think they have what they

369
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 5: feel like is quality death at that position room, and

370
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 5: once Tanner Hudson comes back, that's someone that they trust.

371
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 7: So I'm not really foreseeing them being buyers. Again.

372
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: I think Flato is probably the biggest splash that you're

373
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: gonna get because they did feel the pressure in the

374
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: urgency to do something other than Jake Browning.

375
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 7: But yeah, the next handful of weeks are going to

376
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 7: be very interesting.

377
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,080

Speaker 2: at nine am.

402
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 9: Hey, I was thinking from alex here. Set out to

403
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 9: Kevin from Northern Kentucky for my shout out yesterday. Yes,

404
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 9: I was on Mo's show a couple of days ago

405
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 9: and I mumbled and fumbled my way through my comments.

406
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 9: But Moby and the pro that he has bailed me out. Also,

407
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 9: I'd like to put in my recommendation as for Drew

408
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 9: as your producer. He's an articulate and a nice guy. Also,

409
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 9: hope they gave you a raise.

410
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ken. I appreciate that. Yeah, I love Drew.

411
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: Still trying to figure out what exactly that's going to

412
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: look like. Hopefully that's figured out by Monday, but yeah,

413
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. And speaking of stumbling and bumblin, did

414
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: you hear me try to ask John Sheer in the

415
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: first question. That was maybe the worst I've ever actually

416
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: stuttered and stumbled on the radio. So that's good. Start.

417
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 10: Born in Austin, Jeff, and New Richmond on Thursday to

418
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 10: Happy Hooday game Day. Yes, I'm gonna take the Bengals tonight.

419
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 10: Let's go twenty four to twenty one. Oh. I think

420
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 10: Evan gets a field goal at the gun and gives

421
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 10: us the win. I just have the feeling tonight it's

422
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 10: gonna be different, Okay, So we'll see what happens. Hopefully

423
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 10: we'll be able to celebrate it all tomorrow. Have a

424
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 10: great day.

425
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, victory Friday would be much needed,

426
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: much needed for the Vibes.

427
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 7: Hey, Audi, I'm I'm excited.

428
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 5: I think the Bengals will do well tonight and I'm

429
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: gonna call it Bengals twenty four, Steelers twenty one.

430
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: That's two in a row. That's two in a row,

431
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty one Bengals. That might be the

432
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: common theme.

433
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 6: Audie, what up? Jacob here?

434
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: What's up?

435
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 11: Jake?

436
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 12: I'm thinking that the Bengals are gonna build off of

437
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 12: that second half in Green Bay from last week. We

438
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 12: need the offense to get in the rhythm, move the ball,

439
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 12: hopefully to night Shamar Stewart's coming out party. Yes, I

440
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 12: don't think the Bengals win by a big margin, but

441
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 12: I think they win. Let's go get that dub tonight.

442
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 12: Who day baby, Let's go all.

443
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: Right Shamar Stewart coming out party. I would sign up

444
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 2: for that.

445
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 13: Hey, Audi, remember you asked what I think is gonna happen,

446
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 13: not what I want? Yes, and what I think is

447
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 13: gonna happen is the Bengals may surprise people.

448
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: Whoam.

449
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 13: I think They're gonna come out start fast. They might

450
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 13: even jump out to a t or fourteen point lead,

451
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 13: two scores, something like that. Okay, but regardless, at some point,

452
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 13: Zach Taylor is gonna go painfully conservative. Now allow them

453
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 13: back into the game, and the Bengals are gonna lose

454
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 13: a heartbreaker by.

455
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: Two or three points. But probably I appreciate honesty. It

456
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: is important what you think is going to happen, not

457
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: what you want to happen. And I do appreciate that honesty.

458
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 9: What up, Hotty?

459
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 7: What do I want to see tonight? In a forty

460
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 7: something bawl.

461
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 6: I want to see the office put up points.

462
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 7: In all four quarters. I want to see the defense

463
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 7: you get off the field.

464
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 6: I'm third down.

465
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 7: I'm wanna see Jamais he go off tonight.

466
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: I want to see yo yo yo, see actually.

467
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 7: Catch some passes.

468
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

469
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 14: I want to see this team get the dub wall.

470
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 15: You need it.

471
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 6: I got a fee way and they own a prescription.

472
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: It's more blackouts. It's a good one from Kevin. He said,

473
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: we need it. You know, I was before the show today.

474
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: I normally in the last ten or so minutes, we'll

475
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: go sit in the newsroom just to kind of clear

476
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: my head and go banter with the folks in the newsroom,

477
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: and our buddy Nick Rick yu Chino was saying, we

478
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: need this, like I need this, just mentally need a

479
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: Bengals win tonight. I think a lot of people are

480
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: in that boat.

481
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 16: Hey, Austin George on the valley fired up from the

482
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 16: game as name as well I just wanted to, you know,

483
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 16: such that Tony's gone, But in reality, I think what

484
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 16: they heard was the talent you have. I'm not trying

485
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 16: to blow.

486
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 17: Your head up here, but I mean that's what it is.

487
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 16: Tony was on the radio with you, and that just

488
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 16: wasn't a good place for him to be.

489
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 18: You're abound to get your own show anyway.

490
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 7: Good luck to Tony.

491
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,640

Speaker 2: Well, George, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

494
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that.

495
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 18: Yeahdia, it's Jane case here. I just wanted to say,

496
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 18: I hope you're able to take advantage of this opportunity,

497
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 18: even though it's not under the circumstances you want, just

498
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 18: like I'm hoping Osai and Shamar Stewart are able to

499
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 18: take advantage tonight.

500
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 19: Make job.

501
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 18: I really wish you had not gone over those rushing

502
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 18: stats at the beginning of the game. Makes me feel

503
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 18: like the Steelers are going to rush for two hundred

504
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 18: yards tonight, just because that's.

505
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 7: What we do.

506
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 18: And my heart won't let me pick anybody but the Bengals.

507
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, heart wants what it wants.

508
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, I like the entry update Austin their number two receiver,

509
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 20: not playing their safety, probably not playing Hendrickson, probably not

510
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 20: playing some good knowledge there.

511
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 21: I don't know.

512
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 20: I want the Bengals to win so so bad. I

513
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 20: think that just might be a bad sign. But hopefully,

514
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 20: hopefully we'll get to w.

515
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: When you go a month without winning is hard. Man

516
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: like time moves slower, coffee doesn't taste as good. It's difficult.

517
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 22: I turned enough.

518
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,040

552
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: there any truth about the Bengals looking at Derek Carr

553
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: as a quarterback option?

554
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes?

555
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,399

Speaker 2: Y'all real talk?

567
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: Not only are the Bengals under pressure, I'm under pressure,

568
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: oh being here only since he fan at my job,

569
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 4: got everybody in the world at my job asking me

570
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: questions tonight, are you ready for this nice game? Do

571
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: you think the Bingal's gonna win? Got a call from

572
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: the boss man to come to the office. He asked

573
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: me questions about tonight's game. How you putting money on

574
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 4: the Bengals tonight? I looked at him like he was

575
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: fourteen kared crazy, But I ain't telling him that since

576
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 4: he throwed that me down.

577
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 2: I want to come to work tomorrow. Cat strutting on

578
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: these clowns, you feel me? Who days. That is the

579
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: tough part about wearing your team's heart on your sleeve.

580
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: Theyre ridding round. Everybody wants a piece of you.

581
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 22: All right, Mike from LA You heard John Michael's impersonation

582
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 22: of you. Oh no, let's hear your version of him.

583
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 6: What's up, Austin, Joe and Baltimore?

584
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: What up, Joe?

585
00:25:53,160 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 6: My prediction for tonight Cincinnati twenty eight Pittsburgh twenty four. Okay,

586
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: Big Placo leads a late fourth quarter touchdown drive to

587
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 6: steal the game. Jamar's over one hundred yards receiving, and

588
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 6: Chase Brown has his best rushing game of the year.

589
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: Just all right, bang, all right, I got you.

590
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 22: This is a guaranteed prediction for tonight's game. At some

591
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 22: point during the game, somewhere near midfield, the Steelers will

592
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 22: do some type of misdirection trick play that will end

593
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 22: up being wide open and it'll either steal the game

594
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 22: or it'll put them up by at least two scores.

595
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 22: Who day, Pittsburgh does this every freaking time.

596
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: That's a man that's been hurt and broken. Right there,

597
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Austin gets from great job so far running the show.

598
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 21: My prediction for tonight Steelers twenty seven Bengals, fourteen hikes

599
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 21: and just a side note, little sprinkle, sprinkle, drip drip.

600
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 21: I got Noah plus one seventy four at five receptions. Okay,

601
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 21: I think that's easy money.

602
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: All right, there's a little lock of the night for you.

603
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: Five or so over four and a half receptions for

604
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: Noah fense.

605
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 23: Okay, did you guys see Wes Miller saying that the

606
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 23: team's not ready to play today?

607
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 22: Is he already.

608
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 25: Setting UC fans up for a failure of a season?

609
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: Oh well, it's a good thing they don't he's not

610
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: ready to play today because they don't have to play today.

611
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: So first of all, Second of all, my favorite thing

612
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: about yesterday was that Xavier announced this new beer called

613
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 2: the Muskie Logger if I have that correct, and the

614
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 2: branding and everything is awesome. It's very similar to like

615
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: Ryan Geist and the Sincy Light thing and just doing

616
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: the same thing. It's for the all for one fun

617
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: for Xavier and just seeing UC fans get so mad

618
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: about it was awesome. I love that rivalry so much.

619
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: I love how petty each side is. Yeah, Xavier kind

620
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: of rips off Cincinnati with the beer thing, and then

621
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: Cincinnati fans are all mad about it. I just I

622
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: love that rivalry so much. I cannot wait for December.

623
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 5: Bengals win by three?

624
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: Boy, today, all right, Bengals by three. I'm in favor

625
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: of that.

626
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 15: Hey, Audie micing independence what I'm prepping for this seafood ball.

627
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 15: We gotta go on the starting at four o'clock today Airbay.

628
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 15: Swing on by a lot one if you want to

629
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 15: partake in the goods. We're going with twenty four to

630
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 15: sixteen for the score today. Who day, that's in favor

631
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 15: of the Bengals.

632
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: Baby, all right, beg seafood boil Mike with in lot one,

633
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: going with to Bengal victory.

634
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 26: Hey, Austin Paul from leaves here, I'll actually chime in

635
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 26: and give you my two cents worth on the game tonight.

636
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 26: I think the Bengals won twenty eight to ten or

637
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 26: thirty one to ten.

638
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 7: I don't think it's even going to be close.

639
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 26: I think the biggest issue is going to be turnovers

640
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 26: for the Steelers.

641
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna be able to handle the ball.

642
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 26: And yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that the Bengals

643
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 26: are gonna come out and They're gonna come right out

644
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 26: then drive the field and score the first toushout.

645
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 8: So whoday?

646
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I mean the twenty eight to ten

647
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: thirty one to ten will blowout. Okay, let's do it.

648
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean I think we got all the momentum.

649
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 25: I think that with flat Goo now feeling more comfortable,

650
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 25: and there's gonna be the unknown about our defensive line

651
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 25: that Rogers isn't going to be able to anticipate. I mean,

652
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 25: this could be a really, really good night for the Bengals.

653
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 25: As for my prediction, I'm thinking it's probably gonna be

654
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 25: forty two to twelve Steelers.

655
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: Oh that's the beautifully jaded Bengals fangate fan base hot take.

656
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 27: As an in person fan, A white out is the

657
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 27: worst spent eighty five dollars on a Bengals pull over

658
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 27: and all day you risk the chance of spilling beer

659
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 27: or skyline dip on yourself and just looked like a slob.

660
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but on TV it'll look great, you know, I

661
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: hear you. A pro move though, is you gotta go.

662
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: You can't put it on until you get in your seat,

663
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: basically like you carry it with you or you keep

664
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: it in the car whatever. Nobody cares if you're wearing

665
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: white when you're tailgating. Once you get in your seat, though,

666
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: like then it has it should be on. So I

667
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: hear you though, What up body, space monkeys? What's up? Space?

668
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 23: A w tonight?

669
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: Another one?

670
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 7: We get back on track when next week? Move on

671
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 7: to four and four?

672
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 8: Okay, seasons, Bay, let's go.

673
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm smelling what you're stepping in. What Austin Ryan schmar

674
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: Stewart two sacks, Oh Banks twenty three twenty one. Oh,

675
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: all right, let's do it. I'm in favor of that, Patty.

676
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 19: I think I think Flacco's gonna find his find his

677
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 19: rhythm tonight. Okay, two weeks into the offense. He's got

678
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 19: a little bit more time to work with all the boys,

679
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 19: and I'm predicting a Bengals win thirty one twenty one.

680
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: Okay, offensive explosion thirty one twenty one.

681
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 11: All right, Well, you're sitting down watching the Bengals game

682
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 11: and Joe Burrow gets sacked. He's got the turf toe

683
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 11: and he's gonna miss time. Since the nation is screaming fire,

684
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 11: sac QB's of must backup as a buzz time for

685
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 11: Oh Joe Flecko, beautifully done there by.

686
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 7: Mark Hey Austin.

687
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 28: I wanted to get your thoughts on what your conversation

688
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 28: was at the top of the hour with the Bengals

689
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 28: not being able to do anything with their front office

690
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 28: and compare to the Tennessee Titans and their rotating door

691
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 28: and the Baltimore Ravens and how they always seem to

692
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 28: do things right but seem to be in the same,

693
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 28: if not worse situation than the Bengals.

694
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL is difficult, and there's not really an

695
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: exact science. I mean, the way the Chiefs have built

696
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: their dynasty is not the same as the way that

697
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: Eagles have kind of built over the last couple of years.

698
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: And the Eagles in the middle of struggles and they've

699
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: dealt with coordinators leaving and all this other stuff. And

700
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: Baltimore has been the model of consistency for a long

701
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: time and it's gotten them close but never over the hump.

702
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: And even Cleveland has had the same people in place

703
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: for a long time and they just kind of keep

704
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: in their tires and going nowhere. And the Bengals have

705
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: They've changed a little bit here and there, and they've

706
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: done a few things differently, but mostly it's still the

707
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: same process. And the Bengals, for the most part, are

708
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: always competitive. They're at least you know, in it, and

709
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: I believe are a well run organization. It's just that

710
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: there's no exact science to it. It's difficult. Like even

711
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: if you look at San Francisco, I think John Lynch

712
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: and Kyle Shanahan are a great example of like what

713
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: a quarter or what a coach and a GM relationship

714
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: should be. And yet they just get ravaged by injuries

715
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: every year and it's held them back. Even in a

716
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: year like this year where they're supposed to be competitive,

717
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: their injuries are killing them. I look at a team

718
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: like Tampa where just Jason light I think, is O gosh,

719
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: what's the GM of the Bucks. I'm blanking on his

720
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: name right now. But he has full autonomy and full

721
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: control and again feeds these players to develop into Todd Bowles. Like,

722
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: there's all these different ways to do it. Some teams

723
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: are really good at it, some teams are not. There

724
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: is no exact science, and you know, it's easy to compare,

725
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: but it's not really easy to execute. All right, that

726
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: was our last talkback. We'll take a break. Phone calls

727
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: are open five one three. Phone lines are open to

728
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: five one three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty. We'll take

729
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: a break, We'll come back. Get well. Football in the

Speaker 2: that were to happen, Oh my goodness, I really do

748
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: I kind of want I want it to be a

749
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: track meet, Like I just want the old heads to

750
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: just get after it and just start, you know, going

751
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 2: back and forth, high scoring and see what happens. Got

752
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: time for another phone call. I don't know who this

753
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: person is though, caller, if you can hear my voice,

754
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: you're on the air. What's your name, Robert? What's up? Robert?

755
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about? Man?

756
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 14: Hey Austin. Yeah, just a quick train of thought on

757
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 14: the hope, on the Bengals issues and helped and your

758
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 14: help and uh, you know, making some sense of it

759
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 14: if you will. So my my thought is, you know,

760
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 14: I guess in today's NFL whe to be in such

761
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 14: big business and everything, the uh general managers and all

762
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 14: are just becoming more and more significant in the equation, uh,

763
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 14: you know, for for some of the reasons that you

764
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 14: talk about on the regular basis. But then coaches, of

765
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 14: course you know the face of the franchise to most

766
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 14: of the rest of us. So anyway, the thought is,

767
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 14: you know, I didn't do the research, uh, so hopefully

768
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 14: you can help me with that too. But like the

769
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 14: three the three Super Bowls that we've been to Forst Craig,

770
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 14: of course Zach and then who was again? Yeah, Sam, Yeah,

771
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 14: weren't they all within like their first two or three years?

772
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 14: And is there anything to that? That's all I got, Thanks.

773
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: For letting me all right, Yeah, thank you Robert for

774
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 2: the phone call. I don't I don't know if there's

775
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: anything to that. I think the biggest thing is that

776
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: those coaches all had MVP caliber quarterbacks Ken Anderson with

777
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: Forest Gregg, Boomera siaz In with Sam Weish, and obviously

778
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow with Zach Taylor. But you're right, it was

779
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 2: Forrest Gregg's second year with the Bengals that he went

780
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. It was Zach Taylor's third year

781
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: with the Bengals that he went to the Super Bowl.

782
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: And it was the fourth season for Sam Wish that

783
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: they went to the Super Bowl. I don't know if

784
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: there's something to that or not. Maybe that's something we'll

785
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: look into. Yeah, I don't know. It's good thought, it's

786
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: fun thought. I want to finish up the football in

787
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: the Natti segment with something I talked about earlier. There

788
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: was this word coming from Chris Collinsworth, the Bengals legend

789
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: that Michael Jordan, the sixth time NBA champion, the goat

790
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: the greatest basketball that's ever played, basketball player that's ever

791
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: played the game, was a Cincinnati Bengals fan. And this

792
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: was apparently told on k Adams Show, and I've obtained

793
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: the audio. Here is Chris Collinsworth telling the story of

794
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan saying he's a Bengals fan.

795
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 17: Yes, So I was sitting there.

796
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 8: It was great.

797
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 17: So we're at NBC and we just played his golf course.

798
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 17: And so we're there and Michael was there, and all

799
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 17: the brass from NBC is, you know, literally begging him

800
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 17: to try and come work for NBC. So I went

801
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 17: up and just sat down. Well, another one of my

802
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 17: bosses came along. I won't say who, John, but he

803
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 17: came by and he was like, Chris, we've got a

804
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 17: table for you down here. And I was like, oh, okay,

805
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 17: you know, let me sitting with my Okay, no problem.

806
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 17: So I get up and I walk down to the table.

807
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 17: As soon as I walked away, apparently Michael said to

808
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 17: the group, you know, I grew up a Bengals fan

809
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 17: back in that era and we used to watch them

810
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 17: all the time. So now my friend had to come

811
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 17: back and say, hey, we really want you to come

812
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 17: back here with Michaels. I almost said Nope, can't do it.

813
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 17: Yeah means sorry and not made. Can't do it.

814
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: A very Chris collins Worth like story. But how in

815
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: the hell did that happen? If I got the interview

816
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, that would be the first question, why on

817
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: God's Green Earth did you grow up a Bengals fan?

818
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: How did that happen? And how are we just now

819
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: finding out about it? And Lord knows, Michael was doing

820
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: other things in the nineties, so he thankfully probably didn't

821
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: have to watch some of those series or seasons that

822
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals were going through in the Lost Decade. But

823
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: I want to know everything about this because Jordan's at

824
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina when the Bengals go to the Super Bowl

825
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: the first time, he in Chicago when they go to

826
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: the super Bowl the second time. In the eighties. I mean, okay,

827
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean they were good in the seventies. They went

828
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: to the playoffs a few times in the seventies when

829
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 2: Jordan would have been a kid. Okay, all right, Michael Jordan,

Speaker 2: as our guy Ryan points out on Twitter, Michael Jordan

840
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: should be the rule of the Jungle against the Chicago

841
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: Bears in two weeks. No excuses for this, Bengals. You

842
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: gotta know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody. You

843
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: can get Mike Jordan the ruler of the Jungle. And

844
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 2: then if we could collaborate with Jordan Brand to get

00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: some Bengals Jordan gear I will be the first in line.

846

848
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm freaking out right now. This is me, by the way,

849
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: this is who I am. I love Michael Jordan and

850
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 2: this sort of stuff. I am enamored with Michael Jordan

851
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: being a Bengals fan. Want, I have so many questions,

852
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 2: And that, by the way, is like, if there's one

853
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: guy I would want to interview one person on planet Earth,

854
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: it would be Michael Jordan. And I know that's not

855
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: a hot take by any stretch of the imagination, but

856
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: what a guy and a crazy life. Uh Anyways, can

857
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: I update you a little bit on baseball before we

858
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: talked to Brook Pryor here in a couple of minutes

859
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: last night, it was the Blue Jays all over the

860
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: Seattle Mariners in Seattle, thirteen to four, the final score

861
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: for Toronto. They still trail the Mariners by a game,

862
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: two games to one in the ALCS. Both series in

863
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: action tonight six ozho eight, first pitch will be Brewers

864
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: and Dodgers. The Dodgers lead that series two games to none,

865
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: and then at eight thirty three it is Blue Jays

866
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: Mariners from Seattle. Obviously, nobody in Cincinnati's gonna be watching

867
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 2: that because of the Bengals game. But I was reading

868
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: about the series between the Brewers and the Dodgers, and

869
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: sho heeo Tani is in the midst of a slump

870
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 2: right now. He took batting practice at Dodgers Stadium Tuesday

871
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: for the first time since he became a Dodger in

872
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. How ridiculous is that? Shows show he's

873
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 2: been there for three years. He never took batting practice

874
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium until this NLCS. How is that possible?

875
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: That's got to be a typo, right, But I read

876
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: that from a source I trust. Since the Wild Card

877
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: Round show Hey is two for twenty five with twelve strikeouts.

878
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 2: His RBI single in Game two of the NLCS snapped

879
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 2: a fifteen at bat hitless streak. So sho heey Otani

880
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 2: actually is human and is struggling right now, and UH

881
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: could hopefully get back on track coming up in this

882
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: game against the Brewers. Other Major League Baseball news, Albert

883
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: Poolholse's name continues to circulate as a potential manager across

884
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. The Padres are looking for a manager

885
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: of the Angels, where pool Houlse used to play, have

886
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: certainly expressed interest in that, and also of the Baltimore

887
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: Orioles expressing interest in Albert Poolhols, which I think is interesting,

888
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: and I believe he is the manager of one of

889
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic teams. Blanking on which which country

890
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: he's managing. It might be Puerto Rico or Venezuela, not

891
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: entirely sure, but that's that. And then a shake up

892
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: to the Reds coaching staff. Jr. House, the Reds third

893
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: base coach and catching coordinator, is leaving the Reds to

894
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 2: join the Arizona Diamondbacks in the same role. Jr. House

895
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: said that it just became too much going back and

896
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: forth to Arizona. He lives in Arizona, he used to

897
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: play for the Diamondbacks. His family is there, and so

898
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: it was opportunity for him to go home and to

899
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: spend more time with his family. So because of that,

900
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: he is leaving the Reds, and so the Reds will

901
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: be in the market for a new catching coordinator and

902
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: a new third base coach. With Jr. House heading out west.

903
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break. We'll come back. When

904
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: we do, we'll talk to Brooke pro covering the Steelers

905
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: for ESPN. That's next right here on the Home of

906
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty
