23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: we think seven minutes. He has not been on time

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: for one of his press conferences this year, but maybe rejuvenated.

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: He's back. He won, Bengals won. Everybody's excited. Maybe Joe

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: will be compelled to be on time. Hopefully he is.

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: Will have it for you at three point fifteen. We

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: are looking forward to that. We have the Kyle Schwarber

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: thing to get to, which maybe it's unlikely, maybe it's

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. I'm gonna do everything I can. I'm

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,639
Speaker 3: gonna do everything I can to ensure that Red's fans

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: are demanding that the Reds go sign the raigning home

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: run champion in baseball. I'll do what I can. I'll

34
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: do my best. That's coming up here in just a bit.

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Also Eric Wood later on in the five o'clock hour,

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: the Pride of Elder High School. He is currently the

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: and has been for a while, the radio analyst for

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills, Bengals and Bills on Sunday at one o'clock,

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: we are looking forward to that. Going to talk in

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: a second, I did not have a chance to get

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: to this yesterday. But I'm no longer gonna tell Joe

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: Burrow no when it comes to him playing. As long

43
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: as the games matter, this game on Sunday matters, the

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: game on Thursday matters. I felt bad on Thursday night.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Not because the Bengals won. That was excited, the exciting.

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: I felt bad because I was one of those guys

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: who was I don't know, should yes, he should have played,

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: and he did play and he played well, went perfect.

49
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: There was some russ he had a chip off. So

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: we have that. We're gonna get to a little bit

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: later on. Today is our office Christmas party for advertisers

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: of the radio station, so we have a lot of

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: people who are going to be in the building having

54
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: a good time the holiday party. We want to be

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: a part of it, but you know, we it's hard

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: because we're doing a show. So over the last number

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: of years we've started an open door policy and maybe

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: you can hear in the background some noise. We leave

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: our door open. You could hear the Christmas music and

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: we basically invite people to pop in at any time.

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: So if there's a little background noise, if it's sound

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: like we're out at a bar or something. We're not,

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: although there is alcohol here. It's the iHeartMedia Christmas Party,

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: and we're broadcasting basically from it. We are going to

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: step aside, hopefully Joe Burrow right on time when we

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: come back ten after three. This is ESPN fifteen thirty

67
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Station now talking with the Assemble Pro Football Media.

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: Would you imagine playing college football playoff for getting ready

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 4: to in your coach leaving.

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 5: His own miss going to make the playoff?

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's certainly not an ideal situation.

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 6: But uh.

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 5: Does the rest of the staff stay or do they

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: go too?

76
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 7: I think you let the OC loose to go back

77
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 7: you play caller.

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 8: Ah, yeah, certainly, well, an ideal situation for a playoff run,

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 8: that's for sure.

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 9: There's been multiple reports out about what exactly is the

81
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 9: shoe that's helping you as soon as experience be a

82
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 9: metal plate, a wh's been something else.

83
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 10: What what is in your shoe and that's helping you

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 10: with your toe?

85
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 5: Exactly? Carbon fiber plate and custom.

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 10: Or thought, how does that help your toe?

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: Well, they just.

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 8: Can't shoe can't bend it because my toe can't go

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 8: backwards right now, still a little early for that, So

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 8: just keeps it firm and not bending it back.

91
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 10: Is it comfortable?

92
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 11: No?

93
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 12: Are you wearing.

94
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: Different cleats now when you were before.

95
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: Before the injury?

96
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 6: Yeah?

97
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, these are the ones that I feel like give

98
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 8: me enough space and stability to do what I need

99
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 8: to do.

100
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: Do you walk around in different shoes just like at home?

101
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: At home, I'm just barefoot, but.

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I try to be in the cleats as little

103
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 8: as possible.

104
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 7: You settle on the sneakers being like the swapping out

105
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 7: and kind of why didn't you figre out that was

106
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 7: a good solution for you along the sideline?

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 8: Well, I take it off throughout practice every now and then,

108
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 8: just to let it breathe and let it relax a

109
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 8: little bit.

110
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: And these are what I put on, so I figured

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: I'd just keep it.

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 9: The same whether obviously it was cold in Baltimore, but

113
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 9: it's supposed to be like really cold in Buffalo. Does

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 9: that impact the shoe work and what's in it and

115
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 9: your toe at all or not?

116
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: Really?

117
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: Well, it shouldn't. How difficult was it to get used

118
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 5: to the insert.

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 8: It was certainly a process to figure out what worked.

120
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 5: Best for me.

121
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 8: And what was most comfortable and at the same time safe.

122
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 8: But we we worked through that and a lot of

123
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 8: different people were involved and we got the right stuff

124
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 8: on there. You have any idea for sure the rest

125
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 8: of this year and probably going forward, but we'll see.

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: We look at the tape. How does it affect your mechanics.

127
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: I don't think that the injury affects my mechanics at all.

128
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 5: What'd you think of, you know, when you watch the

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: take how you threw? What'd you think after the end

130
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 5: out for seventy days?

131
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 6: Yeah?

132
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: I thought I did some good things.

133
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 8: I think second half I was pretty lights out really,

134
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 8: last half of the first half to the first could drives, missed.

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: Some that I normally hit. But when when you're aligned

136
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 5: protects like that, you get back into the group pretty quickly.

137
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: Your game surgery, if I had told you you'd be

138
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: back two games taps five, I've signed up for that scenario.

139
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course, you know we're in. We got everything

140
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 8: in front of us. We just got to go take

141
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 8: care of business.

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: You're touchdown throw to Andre. What do you love kind

143
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: of about the pre snap puzzle that you went through

144
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: before the snap? There, you got everything set and then

145
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: it all worked out.

146
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a big time pick up a front.

147
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: That's uh.

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 8: They provide some challenging looks as a defense protection wise,

149
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 8: that's probably the most challenging look that they present, and Oline.

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: Knocked it out. Drew was part of that, was part

151
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: of that.

152
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 8: And then a great read by Dre taking the middle,

153
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 8: not just taking the middle, but noticing that they didn't

154
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 8: have a backsize safety and able to bend it a

155
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 8: little bit to the space. So that was an all

156
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 8: around great play.

157
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: And you see it all move around. At what point

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 2: do you know Andres getting the ball down the field?

159
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 8: Once I saw Roquwan getting out of there in the

160
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 8: field safety push into the field.

161
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: I knew. I knew where I was going. As long

162
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: as we wroth on the same page.

163
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 7: When you look back at last year, why were we

164
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 7: all so able to win when your backs working with

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 7: the ball, knowing you had to What enabled y'all to

166
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 7: string that success together?

167
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 8: The same way you win any game, just discipline, winning

168
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 8: the turnover, battle, playing smart, playing physical, and going about

169
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 8: your business each and every day trying to get better.

170
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 8: There's no secret formula. You just got to go through

171
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 8: the process week to week. And attack the plan with

172
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 8: intensity and understand it. Understand it to a point that

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 8: you can go out and execute it in front of

174
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 8: the world. And that's that's what we plan to do.

175
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: You haven't played them a lot, so you've had success

176
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: against this Bill's defense when you pace them.

177
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: What has stood out or what just works for you?

178
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 8: Guys their word coach, they make it, They make it difficult.

179
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 8: They give you a lot of different looks in the secondary.

180
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 8: They try to make everything look the same.

181
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 5: And now they got good.

182
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 8: Players that typically have been there for a while. Most

183
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 8: of their guys have been in that scheme for several

184
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 8: years now and understand the weaknesses and the strengths of it. Yeah,

185
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 8: we've had success against them in the past. We haven't

186
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 8: played them in several years. Every game is new, so

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 8: look forward to going improvement.

188
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 13: What do you remember about the feeling of playing there

189
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 13: in the snow, you know, in the playoffs a few

190
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 13: years ago.

191
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was one of my favorite games since I've

192
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 8: been here. But like I said, that's in the past.

193
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 8: What we've we haven't done anything in a long time

194
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 8: against these guys, and we got to go improve it

195
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 8: every single week.

196
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: That's really just like with Joe Brady these days.

197
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Joe and I go way back.

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 8: I guess it's way back at this point, just like

199
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 8: any time when there's As time goes, you talk less

200
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 8: and less. But you know, we could see each other

201
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 8: any anytime and sitting and chop it up for how

202
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 8: long we wanted to.

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

204
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: He was great for my career.

205
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 8: We did some fun things together and we got a

206
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 8: great relationship. So I look forward to seeing it talking

207
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 8: to him for sure.

208
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 7: What's the biggest thing you gained by being with him,

209
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 7: especially that last year, And also what's the biggest thing

210
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 7: that you looked back and you've made made the biggest

211
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 7: impact on you.

212
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 5: You know, bringing.

213
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 8: All the NFL concepts to what we were doing at LSU.

214
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 8: And you know, fortunately, that's my strength, is being able

215
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 8: to read and react and get the bought quickly and

216
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 8: finding the right guys. And that's that's what that offense

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 8: was about. That's what this offense is about. That's what

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 8: a lot of offenses are about in this league.

219
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 5: And you know, we we did some special things together

220
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: and worked through a lot of problems. We solved a

221
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 5: lot of problems, and.

222
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 8: That's that's what great players and coaches do, so that

223
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 8: was a special time after your resurgery.

224
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 9: You were pretty open about how you know, it didn't

225
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 9: always feel awesome and it was just something that you

226
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 9: were learning how to manage.

227
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 10: How did your toe feel on Friday? And is it

228
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 10: similar to that where it doesn't feel great because you're

229
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 10: still able to play through it? Like, what's the difference?

230
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 8: Like I said, everything we have in the shoe keeps

231
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 8: it stable and safe, and that provides me confidence to

232
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 8: go and play the way that I need to.

233
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 13: How much do you pay attention to playoff scenarios? What

234
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 13: needs to happen for you guys to get in at

235
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 13: this point?

236
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, we pay attention. I think everybody does. But doesn't

237
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 8: you can pay attention to it and at the same

238
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 8: time not let it affect anything about your business and

239
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 8: about your day to day. Now that matters if we

240
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 8: don't go and win.

241
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 7: We talked a lot about Payton manning frisship over the years.

242
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 7: Why is that in a relationship that's been a lot

243
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 7: to you? And kind of what's that kind of been

244
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 7: like as y'all have gotten oldered?

245
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 14: Well?

246
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 8: Number one, he is one of the best of all

247
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 8: time and has a lot of insight to provide, and

248
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 8: he's a great guy that wants to give back to

249
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 8: the game, to the younger guys, help us out. And

250
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 8: when you have a guy that played for so long

251
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 8: at such a high level that wants to see young

252
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 8: players thrive and get better and be great, that's good

253
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 8: for the game And shame on me if I don't

254
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 8: take advantage of that.

255
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 7: Is that something you hope to do down the line,

256
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 7: like whenever you're done, is to kind of kind of

257
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 7: pass that on or pay forward.

258
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, of course.

259
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 15: It's about as emotional as I've seen you after a game.

260
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 15: It seemed like this particular comeback seemed to kind of

261
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 15: strike a chord with you.

262
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: You seemed to almost savored.

263
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 15: Maybe I mod but it seemed like kind of old

264
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 15: the war or reflective.

265
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just think, you know, I've been through a

266
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 8: lot of these, and you know, haven't had the chance

267
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 8: to come back in the middle of a season like

268
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 8: this from any of the other ones that I've had,

269
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 8: and so this one has been special to me. Uh,

270
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 8: you know, I worked really hard to come back and

271
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 8: try to give myself an opportunity to get out there.

272
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 5: Not just me, a lot of people worked hard for it, and.

273
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 8: To be able to have a moment like that in

274
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 8: front of the world on Thanksgiving, that was that was special.

275
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 15: I think it's just a matter of maybe getting older too,

276
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 15: and just stuff is starting.

277
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 5: You're not old, but yeah, the more things, the more

278
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: things you go through, the.

279
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 8: Especially when it's you know, the same thing over and

280
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 8: over again and you continue.

281
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: To overcome it and.

282
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 8: You know, I'm gonna continue to to do great things

283
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 8: and play well.

284
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 5: At least that's the plan.

285
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 8: You know, these will be in the review mirror mirror

286
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 8: at some point, but right now it's pretty fresh and

287
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 8: there's something I'm proud of.

288
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: How long did it take you to go from I

289
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: can't believe this happened?

290
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 5: Two?

291
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna be back this year. Thats like,

292
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: when how long did that take?

293
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 5: Basically, it's always a process. I'm not sure. I'm not

294
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 5: sure I could pinpoint an exact.

295
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 6: Time.

296
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: You know, once you get a.

297
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 8: Couple weeks out and you start to get back into

298
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 8: lifting and training and the rehab starts to progress and

299
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 8: you're doing more functional movement, then your mindset starts to

300
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 8: switch a little bit.

301
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 16: You talked a lot Joe today about how what makes

302
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 16: you so special, Uh, getting your offensive line in the

303
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 16: right protections? How much you work at that, and why

304
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 16: that makes you the quarterback you are.

305
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: When did you first start.

306
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 16: Really spending a lot of time doing a lot of

307
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 16: homework on the right protections for each game.

308
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 8: The first time it was really introduced to me at

309
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 8: the level that you start to critically think about it

310
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 8: was when Ryan Day got to Ohio State and here

311
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 8: was my quarterback coach. We started to talk about a

312
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 8: lot of things that from an NFL type perspective, it

313
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 8: just kind of made sense to me, and it kind

314
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 8: of always has from that point on.

315
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 5: Just kind of.

316
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 8: Makes sense, you know, seeing defenses and seeing body languages

317
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 8: something that I'm pretty good at, especially later in the

318
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 8: game after you see a couple of things a couple

319
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 8: of times. That's one of the reasons that I feel

320
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 8: like I'm so good, just because I can see what,

321
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 8: I can feel it, and I can react to it quickly.

322
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: It's just kind of always made sense. Is an intuition

323
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 5: preparation combination of both, Yeah, it's a combination of both.

324
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: Our coaches come.

325
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 8: Together and give us the answers to the test, not

326
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 8: like I'm coming up with the calls myself. They we

327
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 8: meet every Thursday and they show us all the different

328
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 8: looks and what calls you want to get in too

329
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 8: against certain looks, and then.

330
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: You go from there.

331
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: What's different about the offensive line this year?

332
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Why are they playing at the level of.

333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: Their straight up.

334
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 5: Raps?

335
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 8: Guys are older. We haven't had too many injuries this year.

336
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 8: When when you have a group that's together for eleven

337
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 8: weeks at this point, then they're gonna gel and can

338
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 8: continue to get better. We have guys that want to

339
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 8: get better, that love playing and have really taking a

340
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 8: step and take an ownership of what they're doing.

341
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 13: You talk about your ability to read a defense, read

342
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 13: body language and things like that. Is there anything about

343
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 13: you specifically in your mind that makes you good at that?

344
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 5: No, I can just I can just see it and

345
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 5: feel it and react to it. Yeah, it's as simple

346
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: as that.

347
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: Memory.

348
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say that. I remember things pretty decent. Uh,

349
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 8: that's certainly not photographic like some people talk about.

350
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 5: Were you a good test taker in school? Yeah? Yeah,

351
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: I could do I could. Yeah, I could take the

352
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: test and not really work too much beforehand.

353
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 15: It's math, right, I mean, when you what you're doing

354
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 15: off there, testing and stuff.

355
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: It's like math, it's more.

356
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 5: Patternaction, pattern recognition and problem solving.

357

435
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: It's so festive that we play Christmas music on our show.

436
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm reading Mark Sheldon last night MLB dot Com, who

437
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: does an awesome job with the piece headlined with this

438
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: why the dark horse Reds could be a uniquely enticing

439
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: fit for Schwarber, And he writes in the first two paragraphs,

440
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: and I'll have you go read the rest. He writes,

441
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: While it might have seemed like a long shot going

442
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 3: into the offseason, don't count out the Reds in the

443
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: pursuit of free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber, And he continues.

444
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: Multiple sources told MLB dot Com that the Reds remain

445
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: among the teams trying to sign Schwarber and are still

446
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: in contention for one of this winter's top free agents.

447
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: Here is a blurb. Greg Amsinger on MLB Network was listing,

448
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: I guess seven destinations that would make sense for Kyle Schwarber,

449
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: and he did list the Reds as number five. Here's

450
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: him explaining, let's move on to number five. Where's Kyle?

451
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: Where we're gonna go? This is too high, Greg, way

452
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: too hish. Culture Number one, I should be maybe number

453
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: one of us to go back home. You're going back home.

454
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: You got to get somebody with Ellie de Lacruz. Growing

455
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 3: back comes out of this bro You think the tea,

456
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 3: I love it. Look at green Ellie de la Cruz.

457
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 3: Give me that guy. Put Kyle Schwarber on the on

458
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: deck circle behind Cala Cruz. I would love. It's time

459
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: that Cincinnati Reds go get a big back Kyle Schwarber.

460
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking this, folks, I'm thinking this. So and

461
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: there you go. There's Greg Amsinger, I believe with Yander

462
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: Alonzo on the MLB network. Now, I don't want to

463
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 3: come off as skeptical here, but there is something to

464
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: the idea of you know what, if we pick up

465
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: the phone and call Kyle Schwarber's agent, even if we

466
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: don't make a very competitive offer, we can at least say, hey,

467
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: we tried. And and by the way, the Reds brand

468
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: is unfortunately that they don't even try. Right we we

469
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: assume they're not going to sign Kyle Schwarber because they're

470
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: not even going to try to sign Kyle Schwarber. And well,

471
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: you can say that about us if we at least

472
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: pick up the phone and say, hey, would Kyle Schwarber

473
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: want to come to the Reds what would it cost?

474
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: And then you hang up the phone and you can

475
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: shrug your shoulders and say, well, at least we tried.

476
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: So keep that in mind. It behooves the Reds to

477
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: a degree to at least make it known. Well, we

478
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: jumped into the sweepstakes. We jumped into the pool, but

479
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: we didn't stay in it very long. So that's worth noting.

480
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: Number One, there is no good, non financial reason, no

481
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: good non financial reason to not sign Kyle Schwarber. I

482
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: get he's thirty two years old. If you're worried about

483
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: what you're gonna be paying him in a couple of years.

484
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: I would like to treat this offseason like the Apocalypse

485
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: is gonna happen next offseason, which may happen because there's

486
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: going to be a lockout. Maybe there's not a twenty

487
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: twenty seven season. I don't care about the twenty twenty

488
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: seven season. I don't care about the twenty twenty eight season.

489
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: I want to win now. I want to win while

490
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: they have a corps of guys in place that did

491
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 3: get to the postseason last year, and I don't want

492
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: to trade away from that corp of guys. I don't

493
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: have to trade paid for Kyle Schwarber. I just gotta

494
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: pay him a bunch of money. I'd rather pay Kyle

495
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: Schwarber a bunch of money than pay another team Nick

496
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: Lodolo or Andrew Abbott or Hunter Green or Chase Petty

497
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: or Chase Burns or another guy named Chase. There's no good,

498
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: non financial reason to not sign Kyle Schwarber. I get it.

499
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 3: The Reds have a budget. They should have it. We

500
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 3: all have budgets. There's a difference between, well, they can't

501
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: afford it and they don't have the budget for it.

502
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: There's lots of things I cannot afford. There are some

503
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: things I don't really have the budget for. There's a difference.

504
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: If the Reds want to give Kyle Schwarber a blank check,

505
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: they could probably do it. They do have twenty other owners.

506
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: There's a difference between we can't afford it and we're

507
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: not willing to pay for it, or it's not in

508
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: our budget, or we're not willing to go outside our budget.

509
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: I think we all understand that sometimes in life, there

510
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: are things that are worth going outside your budget. For

511
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: my wife and I are family. We have a budget

512
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: and we're pretty good at sticking to it, and we

513
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: set aside money for food and groceries and gas and

514
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 3: entertainment and necessities and emergencies and clothes and stuff for

515
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: the house. Like we said, we're pretty good at it.

516
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: There's a there's a little spreadsheet. My wife is really

517
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: into it. I've gotten into it. It's a good way

518
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: to live. It's a smart thing to do. We have

519
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 3: a budget. Occasionally there are things that come your way

520
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: in life that are worth going outside your budget for.

521
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: And sometimes those things are fun. Sometimes those things are necessities.

522
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber, I would argue as both the Reds need

523
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: a guy who can hit home runs. Kyle Schwarber led

524
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: the league in home runs last year. Also, he's fun.

525
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 3: It's fun because he's from Middletown, which really should not

526
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: have anything to do with this, at least from a

527
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: Red's perspective. Kyle Schwarber could be from Middletown, Nebraska and

528
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: they should still be trying to sign him. But Okay,

529
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: there's that dynamic. Sometimes there are things worth going outside

530
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: your budget for. In January of twenty twenty two, the

531
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: Bengals won the AFC title, and I decided I'm going

532
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 3: to the super Bowl. And then we decided later on

533
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: we're going to broadcast from it, and I posted up

534
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: next to an ice machine. But the moment to the

535
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: moment that kick went through against the Kansas City Chiefs,

536
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I'm going. Didn't know what a ticket

537
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 3: was going to cost. I had to go outside our budget.

538
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: I remember saying to my wife, like, look, I've been

539
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: waiting for this my entire life. I was eleven the

540
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: last time they went to the super Bowl. I wasn't

541
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: going then. I am going now. I don't care what

542
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: it costs. We're going to be fine. It's worth stepping

543
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: outside the budget for this once in a lifetime moment.

544
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: And you know, someone at the radio station was like,

545
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: can you get a media pass. It's like, yeah, I'm

546
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: not doing that. I'm want to be in the stands cheering, yelling,

547
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: and if they win, I'm going to hug my best friends.

548
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: And so I paid them on they didn't win the game,

549
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: completely worth it. Sometimes in life there are things worth

550
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: going outside your budget for. When you're a team that

551
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 3: just made the postseason. A dude who hit fifty six

552
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 3: home runs last year is worth going outside your budget?

553
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: For so, Yes, the Reds have a budget. It's not

554
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: a matter of affordability. It's a matter of willingness to pay,

555
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: willingness to maybe step outside the budget. If the Reds

556
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: were a sixty four win team last year, Kyle Schwarber

557
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: is not worth going outside your budget. If their pitching

558
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: was a mess, if they didn't have any arms, if

559
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: you had no idea who the opening day starter should be.

560
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: That's one thing. You got some pieces in place. You

561
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: need more than Kyle Schwarbert. You need some dudes who

562
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: will be with the team this year, who were with

563
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: the team last year, to be better than they were

564
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: last year. And you probably need some more outside help.

565
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 3: But I got a dude who can hit, even if

566
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: he has a down year. Is going to hit forty

567
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: in this ballpark? Are you kidding me? There is no

568
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: non financial reason. None. But if the reason is financial,

569
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: is this worth going outside your budget? Now? You and

570
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: I as fans, the answer is gonna be yes. I

571
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: would imagine it's gonna be yes if you own the club.

572
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: Isn't this one of those set of circumstances? Isn't this

573
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: one of those moments where you go, you know what

574
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: we're doing it. We're going outside the budget. I know

575
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: what the pushback is gonna be. Mo The Reds aren't

576
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: gonna do it. That's part of the problem. We just

577
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: assume they won't because they don't. I don't know if

578
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: us talking about it is gonna change that, but it

579
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: would be great if we can have legitimate conversations about

580
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: this happening. And the good news is there are some

581
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: folks who cover this sport very very closely who are

582
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: at least writing and talking about Kyle Schwerber and in

583
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: the same sentence writing and talking about the Reds. It's

584
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 3: a quarter to four, Rick brooring on Xavier who has

00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 3: on Norris broadcasts, and the owner and proprietor of Musketeer

610
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: Report dot Com, Rick Browing. Hi, Rick, what's up? Mal?

611
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm just getting ready for this game on Friday night

612
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: and tonight, how about yourself?

613
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 11: Likewise, I'm equally excited for both.

614
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: Let's talk about Friday first. I feel like back when

615
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: the college basketball season began, this was, you know what,

616
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: the Musketeers are starting from scratch. Wes Miller has a

617
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: team that has more talent. He's in his fifth season.

618
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: This is the year where you see wins at the

619
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: Cintas Center. I don't think anybody feels that way anymore.

620
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: They don't feel like it's a sure thing anymore. Maybe

621
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty part of that has to do

622
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: with the Bearcats. Part of that has to do with

623
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: the improvement we've seen from the Musketeers, and f there's

624
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: more of an identity with Richard Patino's team right now

625
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: than Wes Miller's. Speak to that from a Xavier perspective.

626
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really amazing how that has turned around so quickly, Mo,

627
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 11: because you know, we talked before the season started and

628
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 11: I told you about how I felt about bagers chances

629
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 11: in that game, and then a few games into the

630
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 11: season it was even worse, especially after they had suffered

631
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 11: back to back nineteen point losses to Santa Clara and Iowa.

632
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 11: So yeah, at that point, I was I was thinking

633
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 11: that this was going to be the year that duc

634
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 11: finally got it done at the Centa Center almost no

635
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 11: matter what, regardless of how they played, just because of

636
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 11: the difference in talent. But the way you see has

637
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 11: struggled on the offensive end, and the way Richard Patino

638
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 11: and his staff have kind of turned this around by

639
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 11: changing their playing style on offense is really impressive. And

640
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 11: so now we find ourselves look at the Crosstown shootout going.

641
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 20: Who knows what's going to happen?

642
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: How about Big East play, because it's a league that

643
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: thus far maybe beyond Yukon. I don't think anybody's impressed

644
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: by anybody.

645
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think that's fair.

646
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 11: I've heard some people say, you know, it might be

647
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 11: Zavier saving grace this year that the Big East is weak.

648
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 11: I think most people when they say the Big East

649
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 11: is week, they think about it from a top end

650
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 11: perspective and how many teams are going to get in

651
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 11: n ncl A tournament perspective. The issue Xavier might have

652
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 11: is there aren't the bottom feeders that are really struggling

653
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 11: this year that we've seen in years past.

654
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: You know, to Paul, but three.

655
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 11: Years ago was ranked outside the top three hundred, Georgetown

656
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 11: was ranked low two hundreds that year. Last season, Seaton

657
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 11: Hall was outside the top two hundred. They were, you know,

658
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 11: only won two games in Big East play. It felt

659
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 11: like an easy win. This year, you don't have anyone

660
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 11: really playing that way. I mean, you know, yes, Xavier

661
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 11: is not the lowest ranked team. You've got to Paul

662
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 11: and Georgetown ranked behind them in ken Palm right now.

663
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 11: But the Paul that are like one fifteen in ken Pom,

664
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 11: they're not outside the top two hundred. So you know,

665
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 11: it's a little bit Vigger could be in every game

666
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 11: in bigg's play this year, outside of maybe the Yukon

667
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 11: and Saint John's matchups. But on the other hand, you

668
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 11: might be looking at yourself where going yet the Soft Conference.

669
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 11: But everybody is pretty similar and the Viager team is

670
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 11: still going to struggle to win games potentially, So I'm

671
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 11: not sure exactly how it's going to shake out for him,

672
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 11: to be quite honest, I think it's still going to

673
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 11: be a big challenge for them to win a lot

674
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 11: of games in the Big East.

675
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 3: We have had with both schools. We have had coaches

676
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 3: come from other places and they get their first dose

677
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: to the shootout and the portal Era is not new,

678
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: but it was. It was striking to me listening to

679
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: Richard Patino today thinking about having a team where literally

680
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: nobody has played in this game before. From your perspective,

681
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: what's that like.

682
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think it's it's different. I think

683
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 11: they can say all they want that they understand the

684
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 11: importance and they understand the gravity of the game. But

685
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, more they don't live

686
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 11: in this area for the most part. You know, Isaiah

687
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 11: Walker obviously has a little bit of family history with

688
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 11: the game, is dad Tyrese having.

689
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: Played in it.

690
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 11: So it's a little bit different for a guy like

691
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 11: him maybe, but for everybody else, they're not from this area.

692
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 11: They didn't grow up with the rivalry. They don't now

693
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 11: have storylines built in from years past to go off of.

694
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 20: So to try to act like these guys care.

695
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 11: About as much about the cross Town shootout and it

696
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 11: means as much to them as it has to you know,

697
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 11: the Yancey Gates and Too Holloway teams for instance, is

698
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 11: just I mean, it's crazy to think that now, can

699
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 11: there still be fireworks? Can it still be a competitive game?

700
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 11: Because they they take on the personality of the fans

701
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 11: a little bit, and they understand it means lots of

702
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 11: the fans, sure, But I definitely think with all the

703
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 11: newcomers and with Richard Patino not having that built in

704
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 11: history that a guy like a Chris Mack or a

705
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 11: Travis Steeler Sean Miller did that, I think it's just

706
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 11: a little bit different. And not to say it's lost

707
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 11: its luster, which I'm sure we'll see that column here

708
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 11: and the next day or two. Yeah, but I do think,

709
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 11: you know, it's silly to act like these players care

710
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 11: as much about the rivalry as players in years past.

711
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it's lost since luster. I do think

712
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 3: it's fair to say that it's not quite the same.

713
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean it's bad. Rick Boring, Musketeer Report dot Com,

714
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: NKU Radio The Norris tonight against Cleveland State at seven

715
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 3: o'clock NKU, opening up Horizon League play. On the strength

716
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: of a five game winning streak, including a road win

717
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: a blowout road win against Central Michigan. They have won

718
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: three consecutive games at home. They start Horizon League Play.

719
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: What have you learned about the Norris during the non

720
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: conference portion of their schedule.

721
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 11: Well, there's a couple things that we've seen with Darreon

722
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 11: Horn's teams in.

723
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: The past, and that is one.

724
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 11: They almost always get better on the defensive end as

725
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 11: the season goes, and that's partly because that style of

726
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 11: the matchup zone that's just kind of a so pressurized

727
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 11: and it relies on so much chemistry and communication that

728
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 11: it takes a little while to feel it out and

729
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 11: see how your teammates are going to play around you

730
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 11: within it. And so the fact that they're all seemingly

731
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 11: ahead of schedule there and playing pretty well defensively, and

732
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 11: we know it's likely to get better because it does

733
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 11: every single year with darrens Horn's teams, that's a really

734
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 11: encouraging sign. The other is, I think we can at

735
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 11: this point pretty much safely say this is the most

736
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 11: offensive firepower Darren Horn has ever had since he's been

737
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 11: the head coach at NKU. Yes, he coached the schools

738
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 11: all time leading scorer in Mark west Warwick, but so

739
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 11: many times those teams were trying to get to fifty

740
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 11: five sixty points with Mark west Work scoring thirty of them,

741
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 11: and you know everything was running through one guy. This year,

742
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 11: you have two guards averaging around eighteen points per game

743
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 11: and Dan Grezger and Donovan O'Day and they have other

744
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 11: weapons around them too. A guy like Cale Robinson can

745
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 11: go off for twenty on at any given night.

746
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 14: LJ.

747
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 11: Wells is an experienced player within the league who was

748
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 11: picked All Horizon League and many people expect him to

749
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 11: be a double double threat and could have been MK's

750
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 11: leading scorer coming into the season had the Guards not

751
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 11: gotten off to such a great start. So I think

752
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 11: there's there's a lot of weapons on the offensive end

753
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 11: to this team too, and that's been excited.

754
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm coming at the game tonight that that's exciting. Well,

755
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: the last time I was at a game that you

756
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 3: were at was at a Xavier game and I said

757
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 3: right in front of you, and you kind of acted

758
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: like you didn't know me, and and I can't blame you.

759
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: A lot of people do that. Will the same dynamic

760
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 3: being played tonight if I come over and say Hi.

761
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 11: No, that's first of all, that is a gross mixed

762
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 11: characterization of what I'm down at the Xavier game. It's

763
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 11: not taking into account how the media's space is set

764
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 11: up there. Tom iSER does a terrible job of separating

765
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 11: us and not making it easy to talk.

766
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 20: So let's uh, let's let's be.

767
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 3: Careful about that. That is not how I acted at all.

768
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: That is not true. Again, nobody could blame you, but

769
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: there were others there who are asking, like, man, you

770
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: and Rick got beef, and I said, no, it's Rich's

771
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: a little awkward around me. We'll see if there's a

772
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: similar dynamic in play tonight. We'll see you then, and

773
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: i'll see you much later this evening as well.

774
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 11: Look, I'm just trying not to annoy you with a

775
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 11: lot of some stupid things that I want to say

776
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 11: and thoughts. I listened to your show all the time,

777
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 11: so I don't want to like get in person and

778
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 11: just pepper you with like a bunch of questions about

779
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 11: your job.

780
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 3: So that's that's all it is, all right, We'll see it, man,

781
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: thanks so much.

782
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk soon.

783
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: Four o'clock on ESPN fifteen thirty.

784
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 10: I'm Christine Leacy.

785
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 14: Put Jana's Antetakoupo and the Bucks be headed for a breakup,

786
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 14: sources tell ESPN's sham Sharania, the two time NBA MVP

787
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 14: and his agent are having conversations with the team about

788
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 14: his future and whether his best fit is remaining in

789
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 14: Milwaukee or a move elsewhere.

790
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 10: A resolution to the talks expected in the coming weeks.

791
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 10: Milwaukee's drop eight of nine is eleventh in the East.

792
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 14: Past moves make it difficult for the Bucks to improve

793
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 14: their roster in ways that would please Giannis, says ESPN

794
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 14: NBA analyst Shane Whu McKay.

795
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 5: And I'm not.

796
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 21: Surprised because they've exhausted all options. In my opinion, they

797
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 21: not only empty the cabinet, they empty the tension, and

798
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 21: on top of it, for their future, they mortgage their house.

799
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 21: So what else is left for them to sort of move,

800
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 21: whether it is with or just on the team, Yeah,

801
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 21: to maintain this expectation and vision that they collaborated on

802
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 21: to win a championship.

803
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 14: John's also reports before Chris Paul's shocking ouser from the Clippers,

804
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 14: he and coach tylu were not on speaking turns through

805
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 14: several weeks. The team felt Paul's leadership style had become disruptive.

806
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 14: NFL Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh simmons on injured reserve

807
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 14: following surgery to repair an injured left wrist, So he's

808
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 14: out at least the next four games.

809
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 12: Hey, it's a resident Super Bowl champ, Chris Kenny coming

810
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 12: on Thursday.

811
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 18: I'll tell you why one of the teams I picked to.

812
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 12: Make the Super Bowl is facing an elimination game in

813
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 12: week fourteen.

00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 22: Joe Burrow is back and he plays here on ESPN

00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 22: fifteen thirty, the Official Hall of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 3: Let's go, all right, it's seven minutes hafter four o'clock.

819
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 3: This is ESPN fifteen third. Wait or if you hear

820
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: a lot of noise in the background, it's because we

821
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: are broadcasting from the iHeartMedia Christmas Party. By the way,

822
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: that's because our show is cool. The Oar Show's happening

823
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: in this building right now. They shut the doll and

824
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 3: they're having a party. We want to be a part

825
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 3: of it. There you go, in about fifteen minutes. Ryan Kerwin.

826
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 3: Ryan Kerwin with the Cincinnati Cyclones is the reigning current

827
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Month for the month of November, first

828
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 3: player to win that honor in sixteen years and non

829
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 3: sixteen or twelve years. I have had no alcohol, not me,

830
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 3: not while I'm on the air at the iHeartMedia Christmas Party.

831
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 3: I just made a mathematical faux pall eleven years. It's

832
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 3: been eleven years since the cyclone player won that honor.

833
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: Twelve years actually, yes, twelve, thirteen, fourteen to twenty five,

834
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 3: twenty six is twelve. Very good Tea Higgins making progress.

835
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: According to Zach Taylor, we're excited for that. Eric Wood's

836
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: going to join us in the five o'clock hour. Our

837
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: friend Amy Wagner from Dean Dorton is going to talk

838
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: sports money and Lane Kiffin coming up in just about

839
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 3: thirty minutes or so. We are looking forward to that.

840
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 3: You know, we were just talking with Rick brooring the

841
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 3: Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout, and I'm sure it's coming, whether

842
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 3: it's on the Internet, whether it's on social media, a newsletter,

843
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: a newspaper column, because I feel like it's part of

844
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout tradition where you have to

845
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 3: hear or read about the fact that the shootout has

846
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 3: lost its luster. Let's be honest. Okay, these aren't great

847
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 3: teams at least to this point of the season. Neither

848
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: team has played very very well. Neither program over the

849
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 3: last number of years has consistently made the NCAA Tournament.

850
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 3: Xavier has made it, made it last year, made Dayton

851
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: beat Texas, then lost, and then Sean Miller went to Texas.

852
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: Two tournament appearances since twenty eighteen, the Sweet sixteen run,

853
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: Sean Miller's first year back. You see, hasn't played at

854
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 3: an NCAA tournament game since March of twenty nineteen. That's

855
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: forever ago, forever ago. And so this game is better

856
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: when both teams are good. It's been a long time

857
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 3: since both teams have been really good at the same time.

858
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's a little of that. And the transfer

859
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 3: portal era has changed the dynamic of the game. Sports

860
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 3: are more fun when there's recurring characters, and in college

861
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: basketball there aren't as many recurring characters. Right, there's dana A.

862
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: Thomas has played in this game. Tyler McKinley grew up

863
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 3: here from a UC perspective, and so you know he

864
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: was on the bench hurt last year. No Xavier players

865
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: played in this game. It's changed it. That doesn't mean

866
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: Friday can't be a great game, doesn't mean the atmosphere

867
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 3: isn't going to be awesome because it will be terrific.

868
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: I actually think this year's shootout is really interesting because

869
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 3: let me start from a Xavier perspective, this is not

870
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 3: a team that's overwhelmingly talented. Even if the Big East

871
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: isn't great and it's so far this season appears to

872
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 3: be down, is still really good. Beyond that, I'm not

873
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: sure who's going to be good. I think Saint John's will,

874
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: but non conference so far in the Big East been

875
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: kind of down. That said, Xavier doesn't feel like an

876
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament team, and so if you kind of accept

877
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: that likelihood, and again, sports are fun because they're full

878
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: of surprises, but they don't feel like an NCAA tournament team,

879
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: which means that you kind of have to grab on

880
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: to certain regular season mile posts and allow that to

881
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: define your season. If Xavier wins the Skyline Chile Crosstown Shootout,

882
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: you might argue that's par for the course because for

883
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: the last twenty six, twenty seven to twenty eight years

884
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: they've won it far more regularly than Cincinnati. But this

885
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: was not supposed to hear where they win it. And

886
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 3: so if you're a Xavier fan and they win the

887
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 3: game on Friday, Holy crap, Wait a minute. We can

888
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 3: cling to that no matter what happens this season, we

889
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 3: at least be the UC team that was viewed as

890
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 3: having the best chance to win at the Centa Center

891
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 3: since the first shootout at the Cintas Center twenty four

892
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: years ago. You can allow it to define your season.

893
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: If you don't think your season is going to be great,

894
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 3: that's no knock on the team they have. Just look

895
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 3: at it from a talent perspective. It doesn't look awesome now.

896
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: Acknowledging that when you look at the game itself, Zaeger's

897
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 3: team looks better. I watched that Santa Clara game. The

898
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 3: way they played then, as opposed to how they've played

899
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 3: against Georgia, how they've played against West Virginia, how they

900
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: played against Saint Francis the other night, night and day.

901
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of an identity there. Roles are

902
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: starting to be carved out. That team looks like it's

903
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: trending in the right direction, just in terms of improvement.

904
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you could watch the Bearcats right now

905
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 3: and say the same thing. They've played a month's worth

906
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 3: of non conference games, the loss to Louisville. Okay, I

907
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: thought in the first twenty minutes of that game, they

908
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: at least defended really well, But it doesn't feel like

909
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: they're dramatically better from what they put on the floor

910
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: in the first game, even if you acknowledge it takes time,

911
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 3: especially when you're just bringing dudes in from everywhere else.

912
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 3: The Bearcats as of December third don't look dramatically better

913
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: than the Bearcats of November third, and that's not what

914
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: any coach wants to say about their team. Wes may disagree,

915
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 3: but I think most who have watched the team would

916
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 3: kind of nod along with that sentiment. And that doesn't

917
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 3: even take into account just how they lost to Eastern Michigan.

918
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 3: And so there's this dynamic where a month ago it

919
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 3: felt like U See is going to go to Xavier

920
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 3: and bludgeon the Musketeers. I don't know anybody feels that,

921
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: anybody who feels that way, I'm not sure how anybody

922
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 3: could feel that way. Now. I think this game is

923
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: a pick them. I think this game is a pick them.

924
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 3: Line won't come out until late tomorrow night. I think

925
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 3: this game's a pick them. My guess is you See

926
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 3: is going to be a very slight favorite. We will see.

927
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: But I think what makes the game interesting, quite frankly,

928
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 3: is Wes Miller. Look, he did win the game last year,

929
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 3: and he won the game at home. No UC coaches

930
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 3: won a game at the Sinta Centers. It's December of

931
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: two thousand and one, when Bob Huggins was the coach. Like,

932
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 3: it's been a long time. UC hasn't won consecutive games

933
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: in the rivalry since the ninety five and ninety six

934
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: seasons forever ago, thirty years ago. So Wes Miller has

935
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: a chance to do something at you See that hasn't

936
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 3: been done in a while. Let's be honest, there's a

937
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 3: lot of skepticism about him. There's a lot of folks

938
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: who are disaffected when it comes to the men's basketball

939
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 3: coach at you See, it's year five, Richard Patino, it's

940
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 3: year one, and so there's this sense of that got

941
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 3: to make the tournament this year. Okay, are you gonna

942
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: feel even worse about that proposition? If they lose the

943
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 3: game to Zavi, they lose to Xavier. By the way,

944
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: Wes and the Bearcats were supposed to win the win

945
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 3: the game at the Cintas Center two years ago, frankly

946
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 3: didn't come that close. I think what's interesting about it

947
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 3: is just what the reaction from UC fans is going

948
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: to be. Was already pretty salty after the Louisville game,

949
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 3: understandably very salty after the Eastern Michigan game. Understanding they

950
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: played teams at home and on the road who are

951
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: much better than this year's Xavier team. You're trying to

952
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: break a drought, you're trying to build some equity, You're

953
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 3: trying to keep the walls from closing in on you.

954
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 3: You're trying to make people feel like this season could

955
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: still end up turning out to be pretty good. Can't

956
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: do any of those things if you lose the game

957
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 3: on Friday night. And so look, you know me, I'm

958
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 3: a UC fan. I want the Bearcats to win the game.

959
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't run from that. I don't hide from that.

960
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: But I think it was a really interesting about this

961
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: game is if you see wins, they're sort of a well,

962
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: they're supposed to dynamic and play here if they lose.

963
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: If they lose, then can you even imagine And look, man,

964
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 3: I like Wes a lot, but can you even imagine

965
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 3: what it's gonna sound like? What it's going to feel

966
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 3: like in terms of the relationship between Wes Miller and

967
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: a fan base that is impatient, skeptical, and I think

968
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: to a large degree no longer assuming the Bearcats are

969
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,479
Speaker 3: going to win this game on Friday, we will see

970
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 3: and look. Man, if you just if you wish it

971
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 3: was I don't know, nineteen ninety four again. If you

972
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 3: want to sit there and fold your arms and complain

973
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 3: about who's not here anymore, what college basketball isn't and

974
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 3: what the game isn't anymore, don't watch it, don't pay

975
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 3: attention to it. Those of us who love the sport

976
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: can't wait for Friday. I think from a Xavier perspective,

977
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: there's a you know what, we win it every year

978
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 3: at our building. We've got that in our back pocket.

979
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: Our team isn't proving we've got that in our back pocket.

980
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 3: If our team loses, well we were supposed to, I

981
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: cannot imagine. I cannot imagine what is going to be said,

982
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 3: what is going to be written, what's going to be tweeted,

983
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 3: what's going to be screamed about the direction of UC

984
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: basketball If they lose a game like this that frankly

985
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 3: four or five weeks ago felt like they were supposed

986
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: to win. Sixteen minutes after four o'clock, your phone calls

987
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,680

989
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: I may just do today's question. Who's gonna win the

990
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 3: game on Friday? You see R Xavier? Because I think

991
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 3: it's a fifty to fifty game and I don't know

992
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 3: a lot of UC fans. We're overly confident about Friday

993
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: and uh, I think there's a very quiet confidence that

994
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 3: Xavier fans have, even though they will acknowledge their team

995
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 3: from a talent perspective, doesn't make anybody feel like they're

996
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 3: gonna make the NCAA tournament. We will see, we will see. Uh,

Speaker 20: On the call.

1033
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 3: I appreciate you doing this. So you guys, you've blended

1034
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 3: in nicely, and like this maybe shouldn't be a good

1035
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: way of looking at this, but like I see how

1036
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 3: well you've done so early in your time as a

1037
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Cyclone. It's so early in your professional hockey career

1038
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 3: that what I fear is now, because you're off to

1039
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 3: such a good start, you're not going to be here

1040
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 3: very long.

1041
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 23: Well, I don't know, you know, I think for me,

1042
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 23: it's just you know, focusing what I could focus, and

1043
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 23: you know I can't control.

1044
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 5: That type of thing.

1045
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 23: But I've been loving having my time here and the

1046
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 23: guys are awesome and yeah, I mean we have a

1047
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 23: winning team too, So I'm just going to keep on

1048
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 23: doing that for the rest.

1049
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 6: Of the season.

1050
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 3: You were playing college hockey a little bit more than

1051
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: a year ago, right, So walk me through with the

1052
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: biggest adjustment starting last year with the Toronto Marley is

1053
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 3: what the the biggest adjustment to pro hockey has been.

1054
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 23: Yeah, So I finished my season with Arizona State last

1055
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 23: season and then I signed with Toronto, And you know,

1056
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 23: the biggest adjustment is most likely, you know, the guys are.

1057
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 6: Just bigger and stronger and faster. It sounds kind of cliche,

1058
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 6: but it is true.

1059
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 23: And everybody's so smart, so it takes a little bit

1060
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 23: of adjusting.

1061
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 6: And you know, it's been absolutely awesome.

1062
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 23: And the guys in Cincinnati have been amazing, and everybody's just.

1063
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 6: Taking us under their their wings, and it's been awesome.

1064
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 3: Eight goals and seven assists during fourteen games played in

1065
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 3: the month of November. Whether it was last year or

1066
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 3: here in Cincinnati, have you kind of had a welcome

1067
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 3: to professional hockey moment?

1068
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 23: You know, I guess maybe just your first game, seeing

1069
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 23: the crowd, you know, everything like that.

1070
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 6: And you know, in Cincinnati, we get we're so fortunate

1071
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 6: to have such great fans, and you know, I think

1072
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 6: that kid's Day game too.

1073
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 5: We had about thirteen thousand.

1074
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:14,280
Speaker 6: So maybe that screaming kids. So it's been awesome.

1075
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 3: You played your collegiate hockey, correct me if I'm wrong.

1076
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: You started at Penn State and then you went and

1077
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 3: played at Arizona State. Whilch you just mentioned. Now, pardon

1078
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,479
Speaker 3: this because I'm sure you've gotten this before. Arizona State

1079
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 3: has hockey.

1080
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we get that a lot out there, and

1081
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 8: you know, it was a lot.

1082
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 6: Of fun playing out there, and that's a cool thing. Right.

1083
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 23: So something we always like to joke about is, you know,

1084
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 23: we got to make people know that we have a

1085
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 23: hockey team.

1086
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 6: Yere if I'm playing well, so, but no, it was awesome.

1087
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 6: I absolutely love my time there, all right.

1088
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 3: So why why? I mean, look, if I could go

1089
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 3: back and do it all over again, I went to

1090
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 3: a Midwestern Catholic school. If I could do it all

1091
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: over again, I would have gone to Tempe Arizona State,

1092
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 3: and I never played hockey. What what is it about that

1093
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 3: hockey program that took a kid like you and decided

1094
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 3: I want to go I'm gonna go play there.

1095
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1096
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 23: Well, I mean, first off, I guess for me, Coach

1097
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 23: Powers and Coach Hicks.

1098
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 6: Uh, best coaches I've had, and they've done so much

1099
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 6: for me as a person and that player.

1100
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 23: And I think that something that that I sort of

1101
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 23: realized is that Coach Powers was big on me and

1102
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 23: my first recruitment back when I committed to Penn State

1103
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 23: when I was young, So just having that relationship with

1104
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 23: him and then you know, just just having the opportunity

1105
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 23: to uh go in the transfer portal and then hear

1106
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 23: from him. Once I was inside of that transfer portal,

1107
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 23: I kind of knew that was the place that.

1108
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 6: I wanted to be.

1109
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 3: Has there been a veteran player on the Cyclones that

1110
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 3: you've leaned on since you arrived in Cincinnati.

1111
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think obviously Viver. You know, he's he's like

00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,480

Speaker 10: It's fine.

1233
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get made fun of for having to work

1234
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 3: at my job, which decides to have the party while

1235
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 3: I'm doing my job.

1236
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:04,919
Speaker 10: Happens every year.

1237
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: It does happen every year. So the biggest story in

1238
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 3: sports is one that I just think is really interesting

1239
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 3: from a number of different perspectives, and I think from

1240
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: your perspective sports and money and business. There's some layers

1241
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 3: to this. This Lane Kiffin story right where he's coaching

1242
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 3: at ole Miss and ole Miss is having like their

1243
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 3: greatest season ever and they're going to be in the playoff,

1244
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 3: but he's being poached by a conference foe, and so

1245
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,439
Speaker 3: he goes to LSU and everybody's mad, and he wants

1246
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 3: to stay at ole Miss in the playoff, and ole

1247
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 3: Miss says, take take a hike, pal. And there's so

1248
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 3: many interesting arms of this, but I think there's some

1249
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 3: real life and real world application.

1250
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 25: Yeah, and I'm going to boil this down to the

1251
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 25: top five things I think that we can all.

1252
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 10: Learn from Lane Kiffin. I'm gonna write them down, yep, yeah,

1253
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 10: make your list, Kay.

1254
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 25: The first one is when you announce that you are

1255
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 25: leaving your job, you no longer have control over what

1256
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 25: happens after that, right, So he wants to stay around.

1257
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 25: You mentioned this, right and coach them through the champion

1258
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 25: and they're like, well you're going, dude, so go. You

1259
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 25: don't get to stick around, so you can't be upset.

1260
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 25: Once you give your notice about what happens, you don't

1261
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 25: get to finish the project or go to the big

1262
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 25: fun trip the conference and everyone else is.

1263
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: Going on holiday party.

1264
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 10: If you left.

1265
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 25: Earlier today, you don't get to come to the holiday party, right.

1266
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 10: So that's part of it.

1267
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 25: But also you can't control how other people respond. So

1268
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 25: initially Lane Kiffin said, all my players want me to coach.

1269
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 25: Now some of the players are coming out saying not

1270
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 25: exactly like they're hurt too, and so you can't control

1271
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 25: people's reactions.

1272
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 10: I think is part of that number two points. Don't

1273
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 10: take another.

1274
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 25: Job before you know the details. He actually said in

1275
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 25: his press conference. I don't really know what my contract

1276
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 25: looks like. I think it's good, I don't know the

1277
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 25: financial details of it. Listen, Lane Kiffin's going to be fine.

1278
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 25: He is now the top paid college football coach. He's

1279
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 25: going to be fine, right, But nobody should ever take

1280
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 25: a job before you are fully aware of the details.

1281
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 25: And a lot of people stop with salary, but it's

1282
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 25: beyond that. It's what's the company match, what's the PTO situation?

1283
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 10: Is there a hybrid workplace?

1284
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 25: Are you going to expect me to be in this

1285
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 25: office from nine to five Monday through Friday. You need

1286
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 25: to know all of those details before signing on. Lane

1287
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:26,959
Speaker 25: Kiffin heard LSU boarded a private jets and he's gone, right.

1288
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 25: I mean, and maybe if you're boarding a private jet

1289
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 25: to do the interview, you should just know the other

1290
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 25: details will probably be taken care of.

1291
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 10: But let's face it, I mean, Dean Dorton didn't bring

1292
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 10: me in on a private jet.

1293
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, right, I've only worked here my entire

1294
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 3: adult life, and there was no private jet when they

1295
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 3: hired me, so that's probably never gonna happen. There would

1296
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 3: be now, there would be now.

1297
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 25: Of course, yes, the reputation that you've built, they would

1298
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 25: virtually in a private jet without thinking twice.

1299
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 5: You know.

1300
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 25: I think another thing is know what you're getting into.

1301
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 25: Lane Kiffin is coming from a place where he was

1302
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 25: an SEC underdog punching above his weight, right. I mean,

1303
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 25: that's a great story to tell. You're coming into an

1304
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 25: LSU that is expecting results immediately Listen.

1305
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 10: Lane Kiffin's a guy that gets results.

1306
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 25: I know, he's brilliant, offensive, play caller, all the things.

1307
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 25: There's no expectation that he's not going to do great.

1308
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 25: But you have to walk into an environment knowing that

1309
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 25: the pressure is on from the get go. For the

1310
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 25: average person, when you are taking a job, one great

1311
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 25: thing to do is to find other people on LinkedIn

1312
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 25: who work there or who have worked there.

1313
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 10: Reach out, connect with them, ask them what is culture like?

1314
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 25: You know, it's I know many people who've done this

1315
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 25: before and found out things that were game changers for them, right.

1316
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 25: So I think it's important to not only be talking

1317
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 25: to the people who are offering the job, but talk

1318
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 25: to the people who work there too, and see what

1319
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 25: kind of position you're walking into.

1320
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 3: And there's there's very little honeymoon, Like Lane Kiffin, there's

1321
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 3: no honeymoon. It's you better win week one, you better

1322
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 3: have us in the playoff next year, can peting for

1323
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 3: SEC championships in the national title discussion. And I feel like,

1324
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 3: and again take this from somebody who has never changed

1325
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 3: jobs in his adult life, but you like, you get

1326
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 3: a new gig somewhere. They're not gonna give you a

1327
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 3: month and a half to figure out who does what?

1328
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 3: You better start hitting it producing results immediately.

1329
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, it doesn't.

1330
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 25: I mean doesn't have the choice here, right, I mean

1331
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 25: he's coming into an LSU, which, by the way, that's

1332
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 25: the next point is know you're worth LSU had one

1333
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 25: person on the list, right, Lane Kiffin?

1334
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 10: Who else are they going.

1335
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 26: To go for?

1336
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 7: Right?

1337
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 25: So you know if you are the perfect person for

1338
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 25: this position, that you can ask for things beyond the

1339
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 25: salary that are important to you.

1340
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 10: An extra week of vacation.

1341
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 25: Pro tip, never take a new job without planning a

1342
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 25: vacation before so that you can say I can start

1343
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 25: on this date but also I have this on the calendar, right,

1344
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 25: things along those lines.

1345
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 10: But you got to know, unless you're.

1346
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 25: Just getting out of college and you're starting your first job,

1347
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 25: once you've gotten far enough along in your career, right, like,

1348
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 25: you could make different demands today, mo Eggert for a

1349
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 25: job than you could have when you first started here.

1350
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 3: Do you know who I work for?

1351
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 10: I do, and you and I have talked about. I'm

1352
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 10: negotiating your next contract. So hope, I hope who.

1353
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 25: I hope who you work for is listening right now,

1354
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 25: because I'm absolutely doing that.

1355
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 3: I know right I'll start working on that now. Yeah,

1356
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 3: very good.

1357
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 10: I'm here for you.

1358
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 25: And then I think the last thing is whenever there

1359
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 25: is a change like this, drama comes up, right like

1360
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 25: when you hear that a coworker is leaving, when if

1361
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 25: someone you loved or someone you didn't love, people are

1362
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 25: talking about it. I really respect the new coach, Pete

1363
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 25: Golding for saying thirty nine minutes after the press conference

1364
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 25: was scheduled, I'm actually going to cancel this press conference

1365
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 25: because this is a circus. Yeah, and my players don't

1366
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 25: actually need a circus. They need to focus on the

1367
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 25: upcoming game and being what they need to be, which

1368
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 25: is players. And I super respect that. And I think

1369
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 25: if you are an employer who's losing an employee or

1370
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 25: one that's gaining one, focusing on here's the job at hands.

1371
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 25: We might be losing someone, we might be gaining someone,

1372
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 25: but the.

1373
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 3: Job is still the job.

1374
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 10: Let's keep our eyes on the ball here.

1375
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 3: Do you have any any a list, or any rules

1376
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 3: or anything to suggest if people get out of control

1377
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 3: at the company Christmas party? Because there is unending chaos

1378
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 3: happening on the other side of our studio door.

1379
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 25: I'm usually part of the chaos, so I'm not going

1380
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 25: to give anyone any I mean, you know, really well.

1381
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,759
Speaker 25: I mean maybe not to the degree of some others,

1382
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 25: but you and I go back a few years.

1383
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 18: We do.

1384
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 3: I'll just say this. I had to run off some

1385
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 3: copies during a break because I needed to print my

1386
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 3: notes for our guest right before you, Ryan Kerwin. And

1387
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 3: I'm using the copier when somebody came and handed me

1388
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 3: a bottle of windecks. And I don't know what that's

1389
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 3: all about. So there's some stuff going on out there.

1390
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 10: That it's fun. It's a holiday party.

1391
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 3: It is it is a holiday, But can I come

1392
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 3: to the Dean Dorton holiday party. Oh yes, this weekend. Yeah,

1393

01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,280

1401
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:13,560

Speaker 3: Uh Ron in Milford you're on ESPN fifteen thirty run

1437
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:03,840

1438
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 24: I am okay, Mo, how are you doing?

1439
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm doing well?

1440
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 4: Man?

1441
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 3: What's up?

1442
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 6: Man?

1443
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 24: I can't believe you know, the talking heads they think

1444
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 24: the Bengals won a game, so not too obviously, but

1445
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 24: the talking heads on es handall like, Man, the Bengals

1446
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 24: have really got a chance to win this division? Now really,

1447
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 24: I mean, Mo, the Bills. I think the Bills are

1448
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 24: going to put an end to that luckily this week

1449
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 24: when they run wild, because let's face it, as we know,

1450
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 24: the Ravens offensive coordinator probably did the Bengals a favor

1451
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 24: by not handing the ball off to Derrick Henry. More

1452
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 24: because the Bengals can't stop They still can't stop anybody

1453
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 24: from running it. And if the Bills got like two

1454
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 24: hundred and sixty yards against the Steelers defense, which I think,

1455
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 24: as we know, is better than the Bengals defense, the

1456
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 24: Bengals are gonna have some issues.

1457
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, Number one about the Baltimore game, or right,

1458
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 3: all night long, I was baffled by the lack of

1459
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 3: Derek Henry usage. He had five carries in the first half.

1460
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 3: I do think they did a decent job the week

1461
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 3: prior against Trayvon Henderson, who had come into that game

1462
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 3: playing very very well. I do think the Bengals defense

1463
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 3: is collectively performing a little bit better. But you're right

1464
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,759
Speaker 3: to have any faith in the Bengals defenses to putting

1465
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: faith in something that doesn't deserve it. I think the

1466
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 3: optimism is based more on what the Ravens and Steelers aren't.

1467
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 3: But if you lose on Sunday, you're three games behind

1468
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 3: one of them, and then the math gets really, really hard.

1469
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 3: I do think though, look from an offensive perspective, let's

1470
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 3: assume t Higgins is going to play on Sunday and

1471
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 3: he did practice today. I think you're more you feel

1472
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 3: more comfortable with them being able to outscore people than

1473
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 3: he did with Flacco, even though he nearly outscored a

1474
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: couple of teams. But at the end of the day,

1475
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 3: putting a lot of faith in the Bengals defense is again,

1476
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 3: you're putting faith in something that doesn't deserve it. I will,

1477
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 3: I will acknowledge that, while at the same time acknowledging

1478
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,679
Speaker 3: that they are playing better but not exactly great.

1479
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 24: Yeah, now that's true. And I guess the other thing

1480
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 24: MO is I couldn't believe until I guess it was

1481
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 24: like yesterday. It's all and I don't know, but you

1482
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 24: probably have.

1483
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: A better idea.

1484
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 24: But like I saw, the Bengals ran eighty three plays

1485
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 24: on offense. When was the last time I had had

1486
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,560
Speaker 24: the ball long enough to run eighty three plays? That's incredible.

1487
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 3: I don't have the answer. It certainly stood out. Look,

1488
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens were way complicit in their own demise.

1489
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 3: A touchdown that was taken off the board. They should

1490
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 3: have scored a shaky pass interference call. The five turnovers.

1491
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 3: Lamar is not himself. I think the optimism is based

1492
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 3: on number one. Neither Baltimore or Pittsburgh look great. You're

1493
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 3: certainly hoping that the two teams split the two games

1494
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 3: they have remaining number two. There is a track record,

1495
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 3: and the track record in December and January has been

1496
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 3: that they went seventeen and five since twenty twenty one,

1497
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 3: fourteen and two since twenty twenty two. Some of those

1498
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 3: games Joe Burrow didn't play. You do have Joe Burrow

1499
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,560
Speaker 3: back pretty healthy on offense. If you can win this

1500
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 3: game on Sunday, and by the way, Burrow and the

1501
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 3: Bengals have a good track record against Buffalo. It's limited,

1502
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 3: but it's a good track record. If you can win

1503
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 3: this game on Sunday, it's a pretty good chance they're

1504
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 3: favored in their last four. I don't think anybody is

1505
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 3: making reservations for the second weekend of January, when the

1506
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,879
Speaker 3: Bengals would play in the playoffs. I don't think anybody,

1507
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 3: if all things are if all things are equal, are

1508
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 3: feeling like, you know what, the Bengals are gonna overcome

1509
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 3: a two game deficit against two teams, but it is

1510
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 3: on the table, and it's on the table because they won,

1511
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 3: and one of the reasons why they won was a

1512
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 3: unit that has been horrific was at least a little

1513
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 3: bit better and they did get Burrow back.

1514
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 24: Yeah, it seems like the talking heads are more thrilled.

1515
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 24: I feel like they would be. They're more thrilled at

1516
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 24: the opportunity to have Joe Burrow in the playoffs than

1517
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 24: anything else. Care less about the Bengals. It's just having

1518
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 24: Joe Burrow in the playoffs would give them something to

1519
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 24: talk about.

1520
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 3: I feel like, well, yeah, but I like, I can

1521
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 3: understand that the Bengals as a team aren't great. Joe

1522
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 3: Burrow is like, if if you or I weren't Bengals fans,

1523
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 3: and hey, we're gonna watch a Bengals game in the

1524
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 3: wildcard round, what would you get excited about? Did you

1525
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 3: get excited about watching Miles murphin? I get right, so

1526
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 3: I can understand that. Look again, like you watch the

1527
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:32,839
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. They feel broken, fans are chanting fire Tomlin,

1528
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is old and hurt. They have no identity

1529
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 3: on offense, their defense is massively underachieved. You're putting a

1530
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 3: lot of faith in that team and the Ravens, who

1531
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 3: deserve a lot of credit from digging out of the

1532
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,560
Speaker 3: one in five hole. Like the Steelers missed an opportunity

1533
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: to bury the Bengals, and they've been very uneven on

1534
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 3: offense for a while. And so like, I get it.

1535
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 3: I think there's I think the Bengals are interesting. I

1536
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 3: think it's fair to introduce the Bengals into the conversation

1537
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 3: when it comes to winning the AFC North. But are

1538
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 3: there a lot of things that get in their way? Yes,

1539
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 3: mainly them.

1540
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 24: Yeah, they are definitely. I think we agree the Bengals

1541
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 24: are their own worst than me. They can force a

1542
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 24: couple turnovers this week. We're not talking about five. They

1543
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:20,799
Speaker 24: can force a couple turnovers maybe this week, then perhaps

1544
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 24: and like you said, if they win this week, then

1545
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 24: there is perhaps more optimism because like you said, you've

1546
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 24: got to figure then that the Bengals are favored and

1547
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 24: the last four and then you know, maybe can they

1548
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 24: do it?

1549
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 27: Sure, but I'm not.

1550
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 24: Jumping on the bandwagon like some of these guys on

1551
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 24: ESPN based.

1552
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 3: On one win. No, and Ron, thanks very much for

1553
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 3: the phone call. I think the ESPN stuff number one,

1554
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 3: it's a different storyline than what they've been talking about

1555
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 3: for twelve months. It's also a different storyline for us.

1556
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 3: This game on Sunday, either I believe extinguishes any Bengals

1557
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 3: playoff discussion, or it kicks it into a second doesn't

1558
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 3: kick it into fifth gear, but it kicks it into

1559
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 3: a different gear. And then you look at you know,

1560
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 3: they play the Baltimore Ravens, who they just beat by

1561
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: eighteen points. You know they're gonna be favored against Miami.

1562
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 3: I believe there's only gonna be favored against Arizona, gonna

1563
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 3: be favored against Cleveland Browns. They do have Joe Burrow back.

1564
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 3: The odds in the math are not in their favor,

1565
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 3: but the doors at least cracked open because the Ravens

1566
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 3: refuse to shut it and the Steelers couldn't shut it.

1567
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 3: When you have a team with a great quarterback in

1568
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 3: a wide open conference and you've left the door open

1569
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 3: for him, you at least have to entertain the possibility

1570
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 3: that they knock it down. They have to bang against

1571
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 3: it even more on Sunday against the Bills, coming up

1572
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 3: on five o'clock. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports

1573
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 3: Station Bory.

1574
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 28: Join Dave laploman me for Bengals game plan tonight starting

1575
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 28: at six on the official home of the Bengals, Cincinnati's

1576
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 28: ESPN fifteen thirty.

1577
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 18: That is us.

1578
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 3: It is, and we have one here in studio. It's

1579
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 3: the bud Light five o'clock Happy Hour on ESPN fifteen thirty.

1580
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 3: Thank you for listening the bud Light five o'clock Happy Hour,

1581
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 3: thanks to bud Light. Easy to drink, easy to enjoy,

1582
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,799
Speaker 3: and we're enjoying one right now because the iHeartMedia Christmas

1583
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 3: Party is happening and we are broadcasting from it. I

1584
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 3: think this has been the best iHeartMedia Christmas Party we

1585
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 3: have ever had. I think it's been the best show

1586
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 3: we've ever done. From the iHeartMedia Christmas Party, We've had

1587
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,879
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff to get to today. Richard Skinner's

1588
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 3: gonna join us at five twenty. You're gonna hear Wes

1589
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 3: Miller and Richard Patino at five thirty five. And Eric Wood,

1590
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 3: who obviously played his high school football at Elder is

1591
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 3: the radio analyst for the Buffalo Bills. He is gonna

1592
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 3: join us at five forty five. We're stoked for that.

1593
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 3: Don't forget Bengals game plan one hour from now with

1594
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 3: Dan Horde and Dave Lapham, and I believe Tony Pike

1595
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 3: is their their guest for the first hour of the show,

1596
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 3: so that'd be cool. That is one hour from now.

1597
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 3: Bengals news today. T Higgins is practicing. He practiced today.

1598
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 3: They've already had their practice limited. But that's a step

1599
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: in the right direction coming out of the NFL's concussion protocol.

1600
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 3: From an offensive perspective, they're healthy and like, look, we

1601
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 3: were just talking about this with our last caller, Ron

1602
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 3: from Milford. The odds are not in their favor right

1603
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 3: they have to leap frog two teams with only five

1604
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 3: games to go, they're two back. Even if they went

1605
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday, they're gonna be two behind either Baltimore or Pittsburgh.

1606
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 3: They would basically in all likelihood have to win out.

1607
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,680
Speaker 3: Like that's really really hard. This team's defense has not

1608
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 3: totally turned the corner. There have been some good things

1609
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 3: that have happened. Miles Murphy's playing better, DJ Turner's having

1610
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 3: an excellent season. Joseph Asai was awesome on Thursday Night.

1611
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 3: What they're going to try to do is a massive undertaking,

1612
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,680
Speaker 3: and like, hopefully a year from now, we're not doing

1613
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 3: the same thing looking at the playoff odds and staring

1614
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: at the deficit and how many teams need to lose,

1615
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 3: Like it'd be great if at one point in December

1616
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 3: they could be looking down at teams that said. I

1617
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 3: think one thing, you know, it's it's often not the

1618
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 3: best team who wins, it's the healthiest. That's attrition is

1619
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 3: a every year injury shape every NFL season. Injuries affect

1620
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 3: every NFL season. The Bengals would like to have Trey

1621
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 3: Hendrickson back. That goes without saying offensively, they're in really

1622
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 3: good shape for December for going what is this? This

1623
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 3: is gonna be week It's week fourteen. They're in really

1624
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 3: good shape for December on the offensive side of the ball,

1625
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 3: like their dudes are healthy. So assuming the tea continues

1626
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 3: to make progress and come back on Sunday, that's something

1627
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 3: you have to consider. The Bills have injury issues on

1628
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 3: the offensive line. They've been very inconsistent all season long

1629
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 3: throwing the football. They've really had to lean on James Cook.

1630
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 3: When James Cook hasn't run for one hundred yards. The

1631
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 3: Bills are oh it for this season. So you know,

1632
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 3: the optimism, the optimism can be cut into if you

1633
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 3: just do the basic math, if you understand they're kind

1634
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 3: of just baked in deficiencies. They have the burrow Is back.

1635
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 3: They're underdogs on Sunday. They're not playing a great Buffalo team.

1636
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 3: They're playing a Bills team. They've had success against Bengals

1637
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 3: late season. Track record of success has been well documented.

1638
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 3: And they're healthy on the side of the ball where

1639
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 3: their identity rests. Like if they were fully and completely

1640
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 3: healthy on defense. By the way, it's not like they're

1641
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 3: without a whole bunch of dudes. Frankly, Cam Taylor Britt

1642
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 3: was not having a very good season before he got hurt.

1643
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 3: It'd be nice to have him, I guess. But if

1644
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 3: you're like man, they're healthy on defense, so what they're

1645
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 3: healthy on the side of the ball where they have

1646
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 3: to win, and that's that's that's worth not ignoring. So

1647
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 3: you know, if you sound remotely optimistic, you have people

1648
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 3: in your life that can't wait to throw cold water

1649
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 3: over the optimism. And if you sound remotely skeptical, you

1650
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 3: have people who just get mad that you're not, you know,

1651
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 3: ready to declare this team super Bowl favorite. Like multiple

1652
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: things can be true. We say this all the time.

1653
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 3: The math is really hard. The Bengals have a deeply

1654
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 3: flawed roster. They have massive deficiencies. Their margin for error

1655
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 3: is almost nonexistent. But the defense has performed better recently.

1656
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is back. The Bengals are better when Joe

1657
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:47,959
Speaker 3: Burrow is here. The schedule is not that unforgivable. Baltimore

1658
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Ravens aren't great. That doesn't mean they can't win here.

1659
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 3: But Baltimore Ravens are a six and six football team

1660
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 3: for a reason. The Miami Dolphins aren't playing better, but

1661
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 3: not very good team Cardinals are awful, Browns are wretched.

1662
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 3: Even the Bills are good. You don't look at them

1663
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 3: and go, man, no chance David versus Goliath here. So

1664
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 3: the math is hard. The season has been deeply frustrating.

1665
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 3: None of the criticisms that we have lobbed at the

1666
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 3: Bengals are suddenly invalid because they won one game, But

1667
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 3: because they did win that one game, and because they're

1668
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 3: in a bad division, and because they got their guy back,

1669
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 3: for my money, the best quarterback in the NFL, and

1670
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 3: because they do have a good track record late in

1671
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 3: the season, it's okay to be at least a little

1672
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:39,560
Speaker 3: bit perked up. And by the way, it's okay to

1673
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 3: do whatever you want process and however you want. For me,

1674
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 3: it's oh, this team's interesting again. I look at it

1675
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 3: from a gambling perspective. And I said this on Monday,

1676
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 3: and I might have did it again yesterday. But if

1677
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 3: the odds were equal, you would not bet on the

1678
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 3: Bengals to win the division. Why would you. They're two

1679
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 3: behind two teams five games to go. They'll be two

1680
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 3: behind at least one team on Sunday if they win.

1681
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 3: But the odds aren't equal, so I can buy the

1682
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,560
Speaker 3: Bengals and Joe Burrow in a healthy offense and a

1683
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 3: good track record, or I can invest in Aaron Rodgers no, okay,

1684
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:16,600
Speaker 3: Or I can invest in the Baltimore Ravens, who have

1685
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 3: been less than dominant all season long, not doing that either.

1686
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,759
Speaker 3: So don't let somebody tell you that you shouldn't feel

1687
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 3: at least a little something when it comes to this

1688
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 3: team going into this game on Sunday, and if they

1689
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 3: get blown out, then that probably ends it. But I'll

1690
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 3: take this as opposed to the alternative because had they

1691
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 3: lost to Baltimore, it's lights out, lights out. I've wanted

1692
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 3: to do this for a couple of days, and then

1693
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 3: we'll try to get to a phone call or two

1694
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 3: here between now and six o'clock Richard Skinner in a

1695
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 3: few minutes when the Bengals lost to the Patriots. My

1696
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 3: take was an exaggerated one, but it was put Joe

1697
01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 3: Burrow on ice see you next year. And you could

1698
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 3: certainly find folks, smart folks who are like, what's the

1699
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:08,759
Speaker 3: point of playing it? But human beings do change their minds,

1700
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 3: and dude, change their perspectives and mind when it comes

1701
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 3: to Joe Burrow changed when I listen to him on

1702
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 3: Thursday night. Now, if the Bengals are playing in games

1703
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 3: where it doesn't impact the playoff race for either team,

1704
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 3: I wholeheartedly believe he should not play. Wholeheartedly believe they

1705
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 3: should protect their investment. But as long as there's a chance,

1706
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 3: and as long as you have a guy in this

1707
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 3: era of load management in one particular league where it's

1708
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 3: like these dudes don't want to play, which is not

1709
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 3: entirely fair to the players. Here you have a guy who,

1710
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 3: in the midst of dire circumstances, with a guaranteed contract

1711
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 3: that is making him generationally wealthy, dude worked his ass

1712
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 3: off to come back and makes it known playing and

1713
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 3: playing my best and winning matters. How could you tell

1714
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 3: that guy no, I get the risk again, we all

1715
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 3: understand the math. But you got a guy who says, look, man,

1716
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 3: this is hard. We got a very uphill battle. But

1717
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 3: I want to play. I've worked my ass off to play.

1718
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 3: I want to be with my teammates, I want to

1719
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 3: have something to say about how this season goes. I'm playing.

1720
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 3: You can't tell him no, So it's not some much

1721
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 3: a mia Kulpa didn't have any major issue with him

1722
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 3: playing against the Baltimore Ravens. But for as long as

1723
01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 3: this goes, they don't have a great chance, but they

1724
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 3: do have a mathematically possible chance as long as they do.

1725
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't understand how you could say to Joe Burrow. Yeah,

1726
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 3: it's cool that you want to be out there. It's

1727
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 3: cool that you've worked your tail off to get back,

1728
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 3: it's cool that you're putting the team ahead of yourself,

1729
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 3: but we're gonna put you on the bench in games

1730
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 3: that matter. Can't do it, and I'm with him in particular,

1731
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it again. Now if it's Week

1732
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 3: eighteen and it's Bengals Browns and Cincinnati is trying to

1733
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,640
Speaker 3: avoid an eleventh loss, and there's an E next to

1734
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 3: their name in the standings, and they're cooked, and they're

1735
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 3: not playing in January. No matter what play, Joe Flacco play,

1736
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 3: Jake Browning, play Sean Clifford, run a contest, and have

1737
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 3: a frustrated former high school quarterback play whoever it is,

1738
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 3: doesn't matter to me. Then we go into investment protection mode.

1739
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 3: But until that happens, the mode is Joe, try it,

1740
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 3: Try to do what you can, and we appreciate your efforts.

1741
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 3: Fourteen minutes after five o'clock, I haven't gotten to a

1742
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 3: pole question yet because we've been busy. We have the

1745
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 3: not even sure it's hit its peak yet. It might

01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 3: not peak until Like Lance is done with his show. Tonight,

Speaker 3: twelve dot com at Local twelve Skinny to talk about

1787
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 3: the Bengals as they get set to take on the

1788
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills. Hi Skinny, Hi Mo.

1789
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 20: How are you have the party?

1790
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 3: The party is it's almost out of control. I'm almost

1791
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 3: afraid to get off the ear to see what is

1792
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 3: happening when I leave this room. I'm afraid for the

1793
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,839
Speaker 3: future of some of my coworkers. A lot of mayhem,

1794
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 3: a lot of mayhem, and in the day and age

1795
01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 3: of the camera phone, some questionable decisions are being made.

1796
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 3: Hey are the Bengals good now?

1797
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 27: Not good now? But I think you see signs of life.

1798
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 27: I mean, there's no doubt there's an energy level that

1799
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 27: Joe Burrow coming back, I think brought the entire team.

1800
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 27: But face the stats are stats. In the three weeks

1801
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,719
Speaker 27: since the buy, the defense has given up twenty points,

1802
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 27: nineteen points and fourteen points and four five turnovers in

1803
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:21,800
Speaker 27: that fourteen point game, so it's showing signs of life.

1804
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,680
Speaker 27: I think that's all you needed. That's why I think

1805
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,559
Speaker 27: it is conceivable that they they do run the table here.

1806
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 27: I think it's very much on the table that they

1807
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 27: run the table.

1808
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 3: I think it's very much on the table because not

1809
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 3: only is Joe burrowback, they're healthy offensively and speaking of good,

1810
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 3: I think they may actually have a decent offensive line.

1811
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 27: No, and that's the group that I think's really gotten

1812
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 27: better as the season has gone along. And I'd like

1813
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 27: to point the continuity, but it really hasn't been because

1814
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 27: the guard's spots has been influx at different times. Feels

1815
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,640
Speaker 27: like just when you settled in to a group, but

1816
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 27: Jalen Rivers gets hurt. But then Dulton Riser comes in

1817
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 27: and actually they're not playing great in the stint when

1818
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 27: he played earlier this season, he's been really good couple

1819
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 27: of games, and so now you've kind of got him

1820
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 27: in there is the right guard, And yeah, I think.

1821
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 24: That's a big part of it.

1822
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 27: They've won the ball effectively pretty much for but five or.

1823
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 20: Six games in a row.

1824
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 27: Now, I guess you can take the Bears game out

1825
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 27: of it, but they threw the ball a lot because they.

1826
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 20: Were behind, so really it wasn't they weren't effective run

1827
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 20: the ball.

1828
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 11: He didn't run it very much.

1829
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 27: Yeah, they're they're showing really good balance on offense and

1830
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 27: so yeah, I think this.

1831
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 20: Team has a shot to make us say it again.

1832
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 27: Yeah, this team was pretty good.

1833
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 3: Is the light bulb flickering on? Or is it like

1834
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 3: fully on for Miles Murphy.

1835
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 27: It's funny. Paul danerm Junior and I both without talking

1836
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 27: to each other, made a b line for him in

1837
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 27: the locker room today, So I guess he decided he

1838
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 27: was one of the stories of this week.

1839
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:41,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1840
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,559
Speaker 27: I mean the last three games this is damning praise,

1841
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 27: and he's improved his PFF ranking by eighteen spots from

1842
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 27: where he was going into buy when he get his position.

1843
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 27: He's been noticeable in good ways.

1844
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 26: I know.

1845
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,600
Speaker 27: I heard Paul bring it up yesterday the show, and

1846
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 27: he brought it up to Miles to day. I mean,

1847
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,599
Speaker 27: the athletic breaking of running a running back down thirty

1848
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,640
Speaker 27: forty yards down the field is just that those are

1849
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:02,560
Speaker 27: some of the things he can do. I think the

1850
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 27: fact he's getting more consistent reps in games I think

1851
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 27: has helped probably get him into some kind of rhythm

1852
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 27: where instead of being just a rotational piece, you're in

1853
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 27: there until you get tired. He kind of mentioned that

1854
01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 27: a little bit today of just being able to be

1855
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 27: on the field consistently has helped. That's probably true. And

1856
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 27: listen the other part too, It is I was as

1857
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 27: down on Miles Murphy as the bye week as anybody.

1858
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 27: Guys evolved at different paces. We'd love them to evolve

1859
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 27: by the third game of their rookies year, right, or

1860
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 27: at least sometime in their second year. And my god,

1861
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 27: he's better do it at some point in your third year.

1862
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 27: And he just looked like it was never going to come,

1863
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 27: and all of a sudden.

1864
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 20: Wow, well and behold it has.

1865
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you this every time I have

1866
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 3: you on for the rest of the season. Has Trey

1867
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 3: Hendrickson played his last nap with the Bengals.

1868
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 27: No, I don't think so. I think I think it's

1869
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 27: a very interesting case because we can all point say, yeah,

1870
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:54,760
Speaker 27: making a business decision. I've seen this with an AJ

1871
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 27: Green playout before like this. It's also he could just

1872
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 27: be trying to get himself to literally not stepping on

1873
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 27: that field until I'm one hundred percent and there's a

1874
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 27: part of me that even thinks, if this is a

1875
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 27: mild business decision, that's ninety five percent that you get

1876
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 27: to those last three games when it means something against

1877
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 27: some teams you can probably I don't want to say

1878
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 27: pad sacks against them, get some sacks against to at

1879
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 27: least show people, hey, but I'm helping. I think that's

1880
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 27: that's the part to me. He's got to show people

1881
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 27: that he can still play at a high level, even

1882
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 27: as for a small batch at the end three games.

1883
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 27: Here again, I don't think he's going to free agency

1884
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 27: expecting to get a.

1885
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 24: Bag of gas if he doesn't play another down for

1886
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 24: the Bengals.

1887
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 27: Issuer. I just don't think there's any team that's going

1888
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 27: to be willing to throw a ton of money at him.

1889
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 27: A thirty few year old guy's coming off whatever it

1890
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 27: was in fact, yet tell his business is an issue.

1891
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 3: What is the longest you have ever been stuck on

1892
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 3: an airplane for?

1893
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 18: I was on a.

1894
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 27: Tarmac once I was connecting for a flight to Arizona

1895
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 27: to cover the Bengals a couple of years ago, and

1896
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,719
Speaker 27: I remember we were waiting for a gate at Ohare

1897
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 27: for almost two hours and It was painful because I

1898
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,719
Speaker 27: had left myself a nice connection time and still didn't

1899
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 27: make that connection. And there's nothing more frustrating that, especially

1900
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:04,719
Speaker 27: when you run to the gate like an idiot, knowing

1901
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 27: the gates about the closed, and by guy you've just

1902
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 27: closed and she was gonna have none of opening it

1903
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 27: back up for me. And all I remember saying there

1904
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 27: is you're gonna find you another airline to get on,

1905
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:14,320
Speaker 27: and you're gonna.

1906

Speaker 11: Do it right now.

1907
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 3: All right, that's not bad. Did you Did you bond

1908
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 3: with the people that you were with?

1909
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,800

Speaker 29: know it, you know, But on a day to day

1985
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 29: we're not working any harder, I can promise you. You see,

1986
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 29: he's doing the same thing. But we obviously know it

1987
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 29: is a huge game for both programs. You know, we're

1988
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,120
Speaker 29: gonna fight our butt off to see if we can

1989
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 29: get a win.

1990
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 3: It's Richard Patino. Here's Richard Patino on how difficult it

1991
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 3: is to explore to first year players, which is pretty

1992
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 3: much all of them, how important this rivalry is. No, no,

1993
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 3: it's not.

1994
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 29: I mean, certainly if you had players playing in the

1995
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 29: game last year. But UC's dealing with the same thing.

1996
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 29: Everybody in college basketball is dealing with the same thing.

1997
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 29: Just because nobody on our team has played in the

1998
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 29: game doesn't mean that they don't understand how important it is.

1999
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 29: You know, it's a huge rivalry game, and so you know,

2000
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 29: big game, certainly the next game as well. But you know,

2001
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 29: I don't try to make a bigger deal of it

2002
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 29: as we're scouting, as we're preparing, than we would any

2003
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 29: other opponent. But everybody knows the gravity of the game

2004
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 29: on both sides.

2005
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 3: I had a teacher in high school, Scott my senior year.

2006
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 3: He taught I think it was business law. Maybe he

2007
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 3: sounds exactly like him. Richard Patino does exactly like him.

2008
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 3: Here's Wes Miller, who doesn't sound like any of my

2009
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 3: high school teachers. He was asked what did he learn

2010
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 3: in last year's Crosstown shootout win? And he can apply

2011
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 3: to this year.

2012
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 26: I just think that experiencing you know, the game now

2013
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 26: for a handful of years, I think I have an

2014
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 26: appreciation for what it means to this community, the importance

2015
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,800
Speaker 26: of it historically. Again, we're gonna play a lot of

2016
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 26: big games and a lot of meaningful games. I don't

2017
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 26: even mean to say that none of them are meaningful.

2018
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:30,719
Speaker 12: They're all meaningful.

2019
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 26: But we're gonna play a lot of games where there's

2020
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 26: a lot of excitement. But this one's special because it

2021
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 26: means so much to Cincinnati and I've learned to really

2022
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 26: appreciate that, respect that and just you know, appreciate that

2023
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 26: I get to experience a rivalry like that.

2024
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 3: Is he doing his press conference from the bottom of

2025
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 3: a well, here's things to camera? Like is in like

2026
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:59,799
Speaker 3: four K Maybe they took that audio different, like somebody

2027
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 3: drop a bucket down for Wes to grab onto or something.

2028
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 3: Here's Wes Miller talking about how he is looking forward

2029
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 3: to seeing how his team responds to the hostile environment

2030
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 3: on Friday night.

2031
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:13,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think.

2032
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 26: You know, we all are The games are fun, right this,

2033
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 26: competitors and the moment that the games aren't fun, then

2034
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:27,720
Speaker 26: you guys can catch me on the first t you know,

2035
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,679
Speaker 26: I mean, I got seriously like, the games are fun,

2036
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 26: and so then you know, the higher the level of

2037
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 26: the game, you know, the more excitement there is. So yeah,

2038
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 26: there's there's always excitement for all. We're gonna play a

2039
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 26: ton of big games and they're all they all matter,

2040
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 26: and they're all big to me. But you know, the

2041
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:49,360
Speaker 26: big twelve games and the Power four games and the

2042
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 26: games and big environments. Yeah, that stuff's fun. There's no

2043
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 26: coach speak here. That stuff's fun. Competitors enjoy those type

2044
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 26: of things. And yeah, I think there's excitement about that.

2045
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 3: All right, there's Wes Miller talking earlier today, Terry, we

2046
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 3: have Eric Wood in a few minutes. How are we

2047
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 3: doing on time? We got about two minutes that we

2048
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 3: could air. Every day, we sit down and we try

2049
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,200
Speaker 3: to put together and sometimes we succeed and sometimes weil.

2050
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:18,679
Speaker 3: We try to put together a good show, a combination

2051
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:23,560
Speaker 3: of commentary and guests and opinion and perspectives that we

2052
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,879
Speaker 3: blend together, and what we hope is a good, solid

2053
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 3: three hours of free sports talk radio entertainment. And yet

2054
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 3: there are folks who believe we should blow all that

2055
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 3: up and just revolve around one person's phone call. That

2056
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,599
Speaker 3: person is waiting. Mike, you got about a minute. You're

2057
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 3: on ESPN fifteenth thirty.

2058
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 20: Hey, granks for taking care of me. I appreciate you, buddy.

2059
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:46,640
Speaker 24: Hey, I wanted to ask you.

2060
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 20: Remember when you were interviewing the Rookie of the Month

2061
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 20: and the ECLS and you made a comment you said, boy,

2062
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 20: I wish I had it went to Arizona State. You

2063
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 20: still ever say of stuff like that? Is he gotten

2064
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 20: older all the time?

2065
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, all the time.

2066
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 20: Because I know how much you're fond of warm weather

2067
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 20: and all that stuff.

2068
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 3: I wish, I love, I love Mi Alma Mater. There

2069
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 3: is a part of me that wishes that I would

2070
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 3: have gone to school in a different part of the country,

2071
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 3: or gone to a school were college football is a

2072
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 3: big deal.

2073
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 20: I still think Zager's going to win this game. I

2074
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 20: just think Patino is gonna help coaching. But I found

2075
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:32,200
Speaker 20: out something whether Shwar was saying so intriguing. I'll talk

2076
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 20: to you about it some other days. Very intriguing and

2077
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 20: with a lot of fun. I agree with you, But

2078
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 20: the Cowboys, and I hate the Cowboys with a passion

2079
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 20: since the Little Boys. But I found out today they

2080
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 20: have four linemen offensive linemen that are twenty four years

2081
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 20: of age or under, and they've been playing great. So

2082
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 20: I think the two dark horses in the NFC is

2083
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 20: the Cowboys, or maybe not a dark horse now. And

2084
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:01,680
Speaker 20: I think that that Texans team is really serious.

2085
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 3: With that defense, don't you. I do? I do, and

2086
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 3: more of a factor this year because of how wide

2087
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 3: open the AFC is. Now. We'll see if they're capable

2088
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:16,920
Speaker 3: of scoring enough. But that defense, that defense plays in

2089
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 3: a way that a lot of people don't think you

2090
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:22,640
Speaker 3: can play defense anymore. And you're right about the Dallas Cowboys.

2091
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 3: They have absolutely nailed it in the draft when it

2092
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 3: comes to the offensive line, and they have again this

2093
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:32,559
Speaker 3: year that their offense makes them legitimate too.

2094
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 6: Mike.

2095
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 3: I've enjoyed talking about pro football in the state of Texas,

2096
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 3: but I got to get to Eric Wood. Thank you

2097
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 3: as always, Thank you so much. Will You're very welcome.

2113
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 3: soon as we're done at six oh five Bengals and

2114
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 3: Bills on Sunday. Eric Wood, the former Elder Panther and

2116
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 3: Radio network and kind enough to join us. It's awesome

2117
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 3: to have you, as always love having you whenever the

2118
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 3: Bengals played the Bills. Buffalo is eight and four. How

2119
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 3: would you describe the season to this point?

2120
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 20: It's been a roller coaster rode.

2121
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:56,440
Speaker 12: You come into the season with a lot of expectations,

2122
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 12: high expectations at that start off the season four to

2123
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 12: oh and then with injuries and a lack of a

2124
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 12: passing game at times and turnover issues that are rearing

2125
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,599
Speaker 12: the taed this year, find ourselves at eight and four,

2126
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 12: but still a long way to go in this season,

2127
01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 12: and there's still plenty of optimism around the franchise, But

2128
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 12: with the injuries, especially at receiver in them including Dalton

2129
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 12: Kinkadar tight end in that and on the defensive side

2130
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 12: of the ball, it's led to some more struggles this

2131
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:29,880
Speaker 12: year than we're probably anticipated.

2132
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 3: So Obviously, James Cook has been a savior. He's been

2133
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 3: awesome this year. I'm not sure the Bengals are equipped

2134
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 3: to take him away. But when teams do take him away,

2135
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 3: where does Buffalo find more consistency in the passing game?

2136
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 12: Well, against the Ravens early on in the season and

2137
01:47:46,920 --> 01:47:49,679
Speaker 12: against the Buccaneers, those are the two games the passing

2138
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 12: game really came a lot this year.

2139
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 6: It's spreading the ball around.

2140
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 12: They have this philosophy of everybody eats and they want

2141
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 12: to spread the ball around to all their different playmakers.

2142
01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:00,080
Speaker 12: The backs out of the backfield will catch the ball well.

2143
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 12: The most consistent pass catcher on the season has been

2144
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 12: Dalton Kinkaid, the tight end who was drafted as more

2145
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 12: or less a receiver, not necessarily an inline blocker in

2146
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 12: the first round out of Utah, and so when he's

2147
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 12: been healthy, which has now been a consistent thing this year,

2148
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,560
Speaker 12: he's been the main focal point of the offense in

2149
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 12: the passing game. We hope to get him back this week.

2150
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,560
Speaker 12: Josh Palmer was brought in a free agency and he

2151
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 12: was likely going to be our top receiving threat on

2152
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 12: the outside beyond Khalil Shakir. But he's been dinged up

2153
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:36,519
Speaker 12: for a majority of this season and doesn't sound great

2154
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:37,719
Speaker 12: for him to return this week.

2155
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:41,599
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, when he's at his best, he's an MVP.

2156
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 3: I've seen him at his best at times this year,

2157
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 3: not all season long. We've talked about the injuries. How

2158
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 3: would you grade his play this season? Yeah, I think

2159
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:51,719
Speaker 3: it's been up and down.

2160
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 12: And you know, a lot of what the Bills have

2161
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 12: done this year is if you can't stop the run,

2162
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:00,880
Speaker 12: they'll simply run it into submission, and so there's games

2163
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:02,560
Speaker 12: where he doesn't have to do a whole lot. The

2164
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 12: design runs for him have been down this year. I

2165
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 12: think that's by design. Where As he progresses throughout his career,

2166
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 12: you want to use him less like a battering ram

2167
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 12: out there, but they will turn to it, especially in

2168
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 12: the red zone. But they're trying to get away from

2169
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 12: that as much as possible and lean into more of

2170
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:20,519
Speaker 12: a traditional run game to quite frankly, extend his career.

2171
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 12: This is an organization that you know, the leadership within

2172
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 12: our organization in the front office and head coach, we're

2173
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 12: around for Cam Newton in Carolina and the last thing

2174
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:34,160
Speaker 12: they want to do is break him down in similar.

2175
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 27: Ways that they did to.

2176
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,680
Speaker 12: What the Panthers did with Cam Newton in Carolina. So

2177
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 12: that being said, I think he's had some great performances

2178
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 12: this year. They haven't had to rely on him a

2179
01:49:47,240 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 12: ton this year. But I will say this, the passing

2180
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 12: game has been one of our weaknesses this year. At

2181
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:56,960
Speaker 12: times it looks great and then there's other times where

2182
01:49:57,520 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 12: he misses a couple throws, there's a couple of pen these,

2183
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 12: there's a turnover to and a lack of separation on

2184
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 12: the outside and it doesn't look great.

2185
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 3: We all watched the Bills play the Steelers on Sunday,

2186
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:13,639
Speaker 3: rooting for Buffalo. Pittsburgh's offense seemed broken. It did feel

2187
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:15,679
Speaker 3: like a step in the right direction for the Bills.

2188
01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 3: On defense, it'd be great from your perspective if you

2189
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 3: had Joey Bosa moving forward. We will see. But what's

2190
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:23,719
Speaker 3: the strength of this Buffalo defense.

2191
01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, I would say the strength of the defense is

2192
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:31,160
Speaker 12: the past defense. Christian Benford's our lockdown corner. I would

2193
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 12: expect him to travel a bunch with Jamar Chase throughout

2194
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,639
Speaker 12: the game. And this is one of the top ranked

2195
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 12: secondaries as far as the statistics go. In the league,

2196
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 12: and we've gotten younger and more athletic in the secondary

2197
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 12: at a few different spots. Cole Dish of second year

2198
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,919
Speaker 12: safety is playing great. On the back end of the defense.

2199
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 12: The tackling has improved. That's been an issue at times

2200
01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 12: this year where you've seen some of these monster rushing

2201
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:56,879
Speaker 12: performances against this defense.

2202
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 3: That has seemed to improve.

2203
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 12: In Shack Timpson filling in that linebacker this season, which

2204
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:04,799
Speaker 12: I would expect him to start again this week against

2205
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 12: the Bengals, he has been a boost to this defense.

2206
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

2207
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 12: You know, this is a defense that kind of similar

2208
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 12: to the offense, has been on a little bit of

2209
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 12: a roller coaster rode.

2210
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 6: That's where you see us at eight and four.

2211
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott has been there for what feels like forever,

2212
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 3: and in NFL term, since twenty seventeen. That is an eternity.

2213
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 3: What's the biggest strength of Sean McDermott as a head coach?

2214
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, I got I was fortunate enough to play for

2215
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 12: him for one season and remain friends with him to

2216
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:36,640
Speaker 12: this day, and I would say the consistency that he

2217
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 12: brings from his leadership that permeates into the team where

2218
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 12: he doesn't get too high, he doesn't get too low.

2219
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 12: He generally gets this team peaking towards the end of

2220
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,599
Speaker 12: the season. In the last since twenty twenty, I believe,

2221
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 12: from the last week in November through the end of

2222
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 12: the regular season, the Bills are twenty eight and five

2223
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 12: since twenty twenty.

2224
01:51:58,439 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 6: One of those is.

2225
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 12: A meaningless game where we didn't play our starters, and

2226
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 12: two of those are overtime losses. And so he generally

2227
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 12: gets this team to peak towards the end of the season.

2228
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,840
Speaker 12: But I would say his strength is just the consistency

2229
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:15,639
Speaker 12: that he brings each and every day, modeling it by example,

2230
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:17,679
Speaker 12: but then that permeating into the team.

2231
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 3: Awesome stuff. Eric, It's got to be fun when you

2232
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 3: call a game between your team and your hometown team.

2233
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 3: Should be an interesting game on Sunday. We appreciate the

2234
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 3: time as always, Thanks so much.

2235
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, for sure, it's always fun to call this matchup.

2236
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:33,759
Speaker 12: It was fun to play in these matchups and always

2237
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:36,680
Speaker 12: look forward to seeing my man Dave Lapham, you know,

2238
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:42,000

2239
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 12: Whenever I get to see him, so always enjoy it.

2240
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 3: Ring of honor inductee Dave Lapham. You got to make

2241
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:49,639
Speaker 3: sure you mentioned that when you see him on Sunday.

2242
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 12: Okay, absolutely, I need to bring him a note and

2243
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 12: congratulate him.

2244
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:53,760
Speaker 6: There you go.
