Austin. I was 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: sitting earlier today trying to figure out a lot of 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 3: other stories happening across the sports world, from Major League 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: Baseball last night and the Blue Jays punching their ticket 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: to the World Series a Monday night football doubleheader. NBA 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: is back. The Bearcats are up to number twenty one 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: in the polls Luke Fickle got a vote of confidence. 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: I don't know how that happened. And tomorrow Big twelve 31 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: media day for the UC Bearcats, Big twelve media day 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: for the women's U SEE Bearcats. We had Big East 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: where Xavier was picked eighth to finish. 34 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 4: In the Big East Conference. Among all of those Austin, 35 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: I believe Big East Media Day is today, Okay, Maison 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: Square Garden. So Xavier preseason ranked eighth in the Big 37 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 4: East poll. Out of all those that are happening in Austin, 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 4: what's the biggest story? Is it the Blue Jays? 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: I think so, and more than anything. The bond forged 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: by Jeff Hoffman and David Bell and the way that 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 4: they have led Toronto to the Fall Classic. There's a 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 4: lot of great storylines with that team. I mean, Toronto 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: signed Vladdie Junior to a huge deal in the off season, 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 4: they went and got George Springer Bell obviously David Bell 46 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: in the development of that entire organization. So yeah, I mean, 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 4: I think it's fun. I think it's a fun world Series. 48 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: I think half of America tunes out because it's the 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: Dodgers and they hate him, and the other half of 50 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 4: America doesn't care about the Blue Jays. So I don't 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: know if this is a good thing for ratings from 52 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. I don't know why anybody cares about 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: the ratings. As a fan, I think it's going to 54 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 4: be entertaining and anytime you get a chance to watch 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 4: shoe heyo Tani, I'm all in. 56 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: On that, you know what. I think has been one 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: of the hallmarks of the playoffs up to this point, 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: and it definitely laid true last night as well. The 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: teams that have made it to where we're at, they've 60 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: done so riding on the backs of their stars. I 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 3: mean sho Heyo Tani single handedly put together I think 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 3: the most impressive game in baseball history. Three home runs, 63 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: ten strikeouts. Just what he was able to do on 64 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: Friday Night was unbelievable. But if it would have been 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: the Mariners Austin, we would have talked about on Friday 66 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: night Cayl Raleigh hitting a huge home run, and then 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: last night Julio Rodriguez and Cal Rally both hitting home runs. 68 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: I mean Cayl Raley for the season, he had to 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: actually show up the way he did in the playoffs 70 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: was unbelievable. But on the other side of it, Springer 71 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: comes through with the seventh inning, three run home run 72 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: when the Blue Jays were down to last night to 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: give them the lead, which eventually was enough to win 74 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: the game. But among anything else, how about the postseason 75 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: that Vlad Junior has had. He's hitting four forty two 76 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: this postseason, six home runs. He's been absolutely incredible in 77 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: the middle of that lineup for the Blue Jays. Bob Baschett, 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: who's been out with a knee injury, is going to 79 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: return for the World Series. If you're looking at just 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: a series in itself, and we saw Dave Roberts on 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: Friday night, he got up on the pony. He said, 82 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 3: let's win four more and ruin baseball. And I think 83 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: he's trying to lean in Austin to what you're talking about. 84 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: Where people think it's bad for baseball, it's also it's 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: a treat to watch greatness. And the Dodgers they're great 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 3: and I'm watching that in the lens last night of 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: thinking at the end, Okay, Blue Jays, Mariners, who stands 88 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 3: a chance against the Dodgers. I would have leaned Toronto 89 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: because they have the ability to put ten up on 90 00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: any given night. 91 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean just the depth of that roster and 92 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: their ability to hit home runs especially. I mean, obviously 93 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: Seattle has shown that they can hit homers, we Suarez 94 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 4: with the dumper, with Jay Rod, but the consistency of 95 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 4: that Toronto lineup, and they do it in a lot 96 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 4: of different ways. Yeah, they hit home runs, but also 97 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: you know, they hit the ball to the opposite field, 98 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 4: they hit the ball into the gaps, and they're just 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: all together a really clean team. And they were able 100 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: to stand a couple of early losses and fight back. 101 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 4: They deserve a ton of credit. 102 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 3: The Dodgers ninety three and sixty nine in the regular season, 103 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays ninety four and sixty eight. Blue Jays 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: will host game one Friday night at eight o'clock. That'll 105 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: be awesome. 106 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: That's going to be fantastic to watch Monday night, to 107 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: show David Bell on the screen. 108 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: And for Don Mattingly, Donny Baseball, you said how many 109 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: years of service to Major League Baseball? 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 4: Don Mattingly has been in baseball for forty years. Man 111 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: over forty years. He played for fourteen years, he managed 112 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 4: for twelve. He has been a coach for seventeen. He's 113 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: been in Major League Baseball since nineteen eighty two. An 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 4: all time great player with some all time great organizations. 115 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 4: Never been to the World Series until now. That's cool 116 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: as an assistant coach with Toronto and he can thank 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 4: David Bell for helping him get there without a doubt. 118 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's not a coincidence. Nope, David Bell gets 119 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 4: there and this team a sents. 120 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: YEP Monday night football doubleheader last night. Let's start with 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: I thought was the less interesting game. Seattle Seahawks beat 122 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: the Houston Texans. Later in the show, I want to 123 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: have a conversation about actual Super Bowl contenders and how 124 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: many there are as we now embark on Week eight 125 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: of the National Football League season, do you view the 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks as a team that can contend? Jackson Smith 127 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: and Jigba is phenomenal. He's unbelievable. I just don't know 128 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: still if I can get past Sam Darnold. Although he's 129 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: been great, I don't know if he makes them a 130 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender. I think their defense is really good. 131 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: They beat up on the Texans last night. That final 132 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: score wasn't indicative as to how the game went, but 133 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: I thought that was an impressive win by the Seahawks. 134 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: I think in the NFC it's the Rams or the Lions. 135 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 4: Those are the two teams that I think are a 136 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: top the NFC, and then I think there's a pretty 137 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: sizable gap until the next ring of teams, and maybe 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: Seattle is in that second grouping. Their defense is certainly 139 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 4: good enough, and their defense is interesting, but I don't 140 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 4: know if top to bottom they have the depth and 141 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: the playmakers outside of JSN to maybe get over the hump, 142 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: and especially if you're already in the division with the Rams, 143 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 4: and even though the Niners are beat up they're playing 144 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: good football as well. I feel like that would be 145 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: a tough, tough hill for Seattle to climb. 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: I want to talk more about those contenders as we 147 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: go today. I think I know that there is a 148 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: contender in the Detroit Lions. They beat the Tampa Bay 149 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: Bucks last night twenty four to nine. And as much 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: as we can talk about the Detroit a defense, Austin 151 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: and we will. Jamiir Gibbs last night was fantastic. One 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six on the ground. He had an 153 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: eighty two in the air. He is an unbelievable player 154 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: that is just getting better every time he gets on 155 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: the field. I'm and Ross Saint Brown let him in 156 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: receiving again. I don't think it was the cleanest Lions 157 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: offensive game that they could have played, But more impressively 158 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: than anything is the way they were able to bottle 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: up Tampa with their defense. That Detroit defense is getting 160 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: better week by week. Tampa another unfortunate loss last night. 161 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: Mike Evans a collar bone in injury, injury, and a concussion. 162 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: It's an uphill battle. They're dealing with so many injuries. 163 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: I still think Tampa is a team to contend, but 164 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 3: last night, man, I thought was more about the brilliance 165 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: of not only what the Lions can do offensively, but 166 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: that team as a whole. 167 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: It's been fun to see Detroit kind of come into 168 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: their own on defense, because that was the big question, 169 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 4: right Aaron Glenn leaves, a couple of other guys leave. 170 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: Can Detroit get back to that level? They played at 171 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: that level last night? And oh, by the way, they 172 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: didn't have their starting safety, Brian Branch was serving a suspension, 173 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 4: and like for them to clamp Tampa the way that 174 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: they did, and how good the Tampa offense has been, 175 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: specifically through the air. 176 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: All night. 177 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield was second guessing himself. He was patting the ball, 178 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: he was jumping around in the pocket, he couldn't get 179 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: to his first read. There was no rhythm for Baker 180 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: Mayfield all night, and that I think is a good 181 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 4: thing for Detroit, especially when that pass rush starts to 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: get home and they're starting to get a little bit 183 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 4: healthier on that defensive line. If their defense plays like that, 184 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 4: I have a hard time believing anybody is going to 185 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 4: beat the Detroit Lions and the NFC, Like you know, 186 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 4: and it's weird right now. You think about the NFC 187 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 4: and that conference. You know the number one team, the 188 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers, Yep, and we're kind of forgetting about them. 189 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: And we had that conversation. Yeah, and I had that 190 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: conversation the other day. 191 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: It's like, I'm not. 192 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 4: Entirely convinced that Green Bay is a good football team 193 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: or an elite football team, but here they are in 194 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 4: October number one seed. 195 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: Sad news yesterday as well, Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running 196 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: back Doug Martin passed away in police custody on Monday. 197 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: The Oakland Police Department reported that prior to his death, 198 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 3: Martin was involved in a break in out of residence 199 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 3: in Oakland. While responding officers attempted to detain him, a 200 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 3: struggle occurred, and after he was taken into custody, he 201 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: became unresponsive and later passed away. His agent and Martin's 202 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: parents had been advocating for some help for him. He 203 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: had been feeling overwhelmed and disoriented. He left his home 204 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: during the night, entered into a neighbor's residence, and obviously 205 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: things got out of hand. But a very sad situation 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 3: for Doug Martin, who was just thirty six years old. 207 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: In passing away one of. 208 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,239 Speaker 4: The most fun players that's ever played for the Buccaneers. 209 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: I had a record rushing game of like two hundred 210 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: and fifty six yards, I want to say, at one point, 211 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: and one of the best nicknames of all time, the. 212 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: Muscle Hamster, the muscle Hamster. Love it uh. NBA, Yes, 213 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: the National Basketball Association is back tonight.

You're excited 217 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: for NBC. 218 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy. I'm more excited tonight about NBC's 219 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: presentation of the NBA than I am the actual game. 220 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 4: I know that Lakers Warriors plays in the first game 221 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: or in the second game. 222 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kevin Durant with the Rockets, which is interesting. 223 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 4: And it's Rockets Thunder, the defending champs in game number one. 224 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: But to be able to hear this tonight, oh yep, 225 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: this is the NBA right here. This sound John tesh 226 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: round Ball rock It's back. You can only play so 227 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: much of that. He'll like appear. But NBC and then 228 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: I know they teased it during Sunday Night Football yesterday too, 229 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 4: two days ago, Michael Jordan's sit downs. Excuse me, Bengals fan, 230 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 4: Michael Jordan, Yes, sit downs with Mike Turrico, and I 231 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: believe it's called inner excellence and to go inside the 232 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 4: mind of Michael Jordan. And also the game of basketball. 233 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 4: I can't wait, man, love it. Can't wait. 234 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: Love it. As I mentioned, you see is up to 235 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: number twenty one in the polls. And the athletic director 236 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: at Wisconsin yesterday came out and not only gave Luke 237 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: Fickele a vote of confidence, but also implored that they 238 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: need to raise more money to put into the football program. 239 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: Can you imagine what's going on in Wisconsin right now 240 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: with how far that program has fallen. And now the 241 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 3: answer is We're okay with Fickle. We need you to 242 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: give us more money. We need to put more money 243 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: into this program. That is a definition right now of 244 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: a dumpster fire. We will know more about U see 245 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: basketball tomorrow. As I mentioned, Xavier picked eighth in the 246 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: preseason poll in the East and Austin the state of 247 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: Ohio has now welcomed in nil to high school athletes 248 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: an Ohio Common Please judge granted a temporary restraining order 249 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: on Monday that will allow Ohio high school athletes to 250 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: enter into deals that profit off their talent. Okay, Ohio 251 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: currently is one of only six states, and I didn't 252 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: know this. Ohio is one of six states that has 253 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: rules in place that don't allow high school athletes to 254 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 3: accept payments for their name. Alabama, Indiana, Misian, mississipp and 255 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: Wyoming are the others. Now, this came about because Jasmine 256 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 3: Brown is a mother of Jamiir Brown. Yes, they filed 257 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 3: a lawsuit in Franklin County. He plays at Wayne in 258 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: Hubert Heights and he is the top wide receiver in 259 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty seven class. He's verbally committed to Ohio State, 260 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 3: and the mother, Jasmine said that he is already missing 261 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: out on more than one hundred thousand dollars in potential 262 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 3: nil deals. Yeah, so the common Police judge but a 263 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: hold on that, and now Ohio athletes can make money 264 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: on their name, image, and likeness. So good for them. 265 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: I think it opens up an entirely different can of 266 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: worms that we can get into. But speaking from experience 267 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: and certainly with you know, the last couple of weeks 268 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: in mind, Go get your bread man, yep, go get your. 269 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: Good money, Go get money. I just can't imagine how 270 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: that can play out in high school though, well, I 271 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: mean surely there's not. There may be a select few 272 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: high schools that can raise that type of money, but 273 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: I would imagine, well, that's gonna be hard to do. 274 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 3: Is it. 275 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 4: Is it about high schools or is it about local businesses? 276 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: True? 277 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: Because you know, I think of Dayton and Wayne in 278 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 4: that area. I don't know, let's say Vandalia Rental Company, 279 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: those people they sell the rent those big machines, right yeah. 280 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: What if they say, hey, we want you to post 281 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: on your social media you know, here's our special come 282 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 4: see us, and you film a video at our lot 283 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 4: telling people to come to Vandelia Rental Company? 284 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: Pay them how much money? Yeah? Right? 285 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: Like, if you think about it, that's what NIL was 286 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: supposed to do, especially at the college level. Hey Tony Pike, 287 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: come promote Skyline Chili. We'll give you some money while 288 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 4: you play for the Bearcats. It then devolved into schools 289 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: buying players. There needs to be a measure in place 290 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 4: in high school. I would think that prevents that from 291 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: Moler can buy a player. Sant X can buy a player, 292 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: Wayne can buy a player, Trotwood can buy a player. Redding, 293 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 4: of course, with the money from Tony Pike can buy 294 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: Whip the creamy Whip. You know, there's a difference between hey, 295 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 4: you're a popular player that can advance our brand, or hey, 296 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: we'll pay you to move across the state to come 297 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: to this schools. 298 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: That's that's what I think is going to be opening 299 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: up the can of worms. M Hey, you know you 300 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: live where, well, why don't you come into Ohio? We 301 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: can pay you. Why don't you transfer here? That's where 302 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: I think it gets a little bit dicey. Let's take 303 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: our first break. 304 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: And there will be families by the way. Absolutely we'll 305 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 4: have no problem picking up and moving. If it means 306 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: that they're gonna get one hundred thousand dollars payout in 307 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: some way, shape or correct, it's not correct. They won't 308 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 4: think twice. Let's take a break, gets your bread. 309 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: That's a lot in segment number one, we just covered 310 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: a lot of different areas. Let's get back on track. 311 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: Let's start with the Bengals. And a question that I 312 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: have from watching Thursday Nights came when we return since 313 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: he three sixty thanks to Skyline Chili.

Esp in fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's Sports Station ask 319 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 3: a question about what we saw Thursday night. Okay, Dylan Fairchild, 320 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 3: although viewed as healthy all week, did not start. Jalen 321 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: Rivers and Dalton Reisner started. Now, we had a conversation earlier, 322 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: and more of the Riisner conversation is because it was 323 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: a Thursday night game, and if so, you move on 324 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 3: past it. But there were different players on the offensive 325 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: line that you're already kind of shuffling around. We've seen 326 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: the usage of samajp Ryan. We've also seen throughout the season. 327 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 3: Jermaine Burden is a healthy scratch more often than not. 328 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: McKinley Jackson has been a healthy scratch more often than not. 329 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: We've talked at times this year about Logan Wilson and 330 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: his snap count at times being taken away. Cam Taylor 331 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 3: Britt was a healthy scratch and in doing so, Austin 332 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: I viewed it as a positive because I viewed that 333 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 3: as this staff and this organization is acting with urgency. 334 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: They're not sitting around and just waiting for these players 335 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 3: to figure it out. They're making moves to try to 336 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: win football games. And I think urgency should be applauded 337 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 3: because that's how I want an organization that I root 338 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: for to operate. Yeah, that's what we asked for to 339 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: not well, let's give him another week and see if 340 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: he can figure it out. If they're not getting the 341 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 3: job done, get him out now. This could go in 342 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 3: a different direction. If you win games because of that, 343 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: it's great. If you lose games, then you start to wonder, well, man, 344 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 3: not only are we losing, but we're not playing Caam 345 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: Taylor Britt, We're not playing Jermaine Burton. Are we going 346 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: to play fairchild? What's that look like? And then you 347 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: start to have the conversation of roster management and where 348 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 3: this is going. I view it on the side of 349 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: a player that Mo brought up a couple times yesterday 350 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: on the Tony and Mo Football Show in Genostone. I 351 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: don't know that I've seen or safety play more consistently 352 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: than I've seen with Genostone. So what I don't want 353 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: this to turn into is a situation that we talked 354 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 3: about with the Reds all year Austin. How many times 355 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: we talked about with the Reds man players aren't getting 356 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 3: it done. They're making moves, they're moving guys around the lineup, 357 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 3: they're sending guys down, they're bringing guys up, They're trying 358 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: a lot, except when it came to Matt McClain. For 359 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: whatever reason, Matt McClain stayed in the lineup. 360 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: Matt McClain in the two hole or Santiago Espinal in 361 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 4: the two hole for a long period of time. 362 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 3: And my question with this would be, at what point 363 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: do you have to look and say, well, Genostone's not 364 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: getting it done. Now, the depth there is a question, 365 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: And we've talked about the depth all off season. They 366 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: asked Ginostone to take a pay cut in the offseason. Sure, 367 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: he's playing terribly. You're going into a game against a 368 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: team that has not produced anything on offense much of 369 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: the year. Would this be a game to get someone 370 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: anyone else reps at safety? Maybe? 371 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 4: I mean, when you look the Jets passing off it's 372 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 4: not very good. Justin Field's benched to Rod Taylor came in. 373 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn said on Monday, I don't know who the 374 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 4: quarterback is going to be yet, but your options outside 375 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 4: of Geno Stone are Tyson Anderson, PJ Jewles. That's pretty 376 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 4: much it. Dejon Anthony's still on the injured list on 377 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 4: the IR so I don't know that you really feel 378 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 4: comfortable with those guys. But the question could be asked, 379 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: what's the difference between going to a PJ Jewles and 380 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 4: go into Jalen Rivers? 381 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 3: Right? 382 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 4: How is there a difference between the two, And maybe 383 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: it's you know, the PJ Jewels gives you too much 384 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: on special teams or whatever it might be. But I 385 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 4: agree with you like Geno Stone is constantly out of position, 386 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 4: He's a poor tackler, he was bad last year. He 387 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: doesn't play well. He's not a very good player. So 388 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 4: at what point, and maybe it's this week, as you mentioned, 389 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: do you say, Okay, let's see if anybody else can 390 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 4: give us something back? 391 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 3: There you need to evaluate in a game setting, and 392 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: I don't know that you'll see many offenses this year 393 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 3: that are as ill equipped in the passing game as 394 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 3: the Jets, So do it now, because if not, then 395 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: you run the conversation of what we talked about with 396 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 3: the Reds. If you're in the locker room Austin and 397 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: you're watching other players get benched, or you're one of 398 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: the players that has been benched and you're like, well, 399 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: why isn't genostone getting benched? Then you start whispering in 400 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 3: the locker room. That causes issues with the culture that 401 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: to me becomes an issue. Everyone needs to be held 402 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: at the same level of accountability. 403 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 404 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: Now to piggyback on this, the NFL trade deadline is 405 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 3: approaching in November, and I viewed Thursday Night's game as 406 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: kind of a you can label it and must when 407 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: you can label whatever you want. But if they lose 408 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 3: the game to the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think the conversation 409 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 3: going forward would have been, Okay, are there pieces in 410 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 3: place on this roster that you can move on from 411 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: and you can get something in return and start looking 412 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: to next year. I think that would have been the 413 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: common conversation had you lost the game to the Steelers. 414 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 3: But now, based on what we're seeing in the AFC 415 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: and not a lot of teams running away with it. 416 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 3: Not a lot of great football being played in the AFC, 417 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: and the fact that the Bengals beat the Steelers and 418 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 3: now have the Jets and the Bears, and the Bears 419 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 3: are playing better, but they will probably be favored at 420 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: home against the Bears before the bye week. Are you 421 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: are you turning the page into maybe you look to 422 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: make additions to this roster or do you just stand pat. 423 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 4: You should always be looking to make additions to the roster, 424 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 4: because I don't think you can, on one hand say 425 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: we're gonna play the young guys and bench these guys 426 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 4: and do that and that's gonna be our approach to 427 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 4: trying to make the team better, but on the other hand, say, 428 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 4: but we're not gonna go look for somebody at the 429 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: trade deadline. If this season is about and has become about, 430 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: by as much time as you can until Joe Burrow, well, 431 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 4: then that means by by as much time as you 432 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 4: can in the form of players so that you have 433 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: a chance when Burrow gets back. I mean, obviously Kansas 434 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 4: City looks a lot better. Buffalo is still in the 435 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 4: conversation and the sportsbooks all believe that Baltimore is not 436 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 4: that far off based off their schedule and Lamar Jackson 437 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 4: coming back. But I mean there are reports out there. 438 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: Ian Rapaport rap she talked about it on Thursday, double 439 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 4: down on it again that he thinks Burrow can be 440 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 4: back for the last three games. Let's say that's Miami, 441 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 4: Arizona Cleveland starting December twenty first. If that's the case, 442 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 4: you should be doing everything in your power to make 443 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 4: this team viable in the meantime. Maybe that means trade 444 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 4: for a pass rusher. Maybe that means trade for a safety. 445 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: Maybe that means go after a tight end to the 446 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 4: absence of Mike GASICKI. I don't know, but we know 447 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: that this team has a bad defensive line, a bad 448 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 4: offensive line, and our poor tacklers. How can you, at 449 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: the bare minimum improve those things between now and the 450 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 4: time Burrow might get back so that you can make 451 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 4: a run at this thing. Let's say that Burrow could 452 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 4: get back for the Dolphins, Cardinals, and Browns. 453 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 3: Three opportunities to get wins. You currently, as the Bengals 454 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 3: sit at three wins, so give them six if they 455 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 3: win the last three is the number nine is the 456 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: number ten in the AFC That would get you into 457 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 3: the dance because now you start to count. You know, 458 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: at Buffalo without Burrow is going to be a tough ask. 459 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: Is the Baltimore game a little different now based on 460 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 3: how we've seen the Ravens, And I think how the 461 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 3: Ravens playing in the next couple weeks will determine sure 462 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: what those games look like. 463 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 4: Lamar didn't practice yesterday. 464 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: Man, you could make a case right now that Drake 465 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: may is the best quarterback in the NFL. Yeah, he's 466 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 3: playing like that. The way he's playing, that's a tough 467 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: game against the Patriots. You've got to go on the 468 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 3: road against the Steelers. I mean it's not crazy to say, 469 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 3: Austin that the next four if you find a way 470 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 3: to win, could get you in position to be viable 471 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 3: if Burrow can come back. Yeah, you're going to be 472 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: favored against the Jets, You'll be favored against the b 473 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: You'll be a little dog on the road to Pittsburgh 474 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: and you get in New England at home. 475 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 4: I will say this, I don't know that they're gonna 476 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 4: be favored against the Bears. Okay, I hear what you're saying, 477 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 4: but I don't know if I'm convinced on that yet, 478 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 4: But you're right overall the grand scheme of things, You're correct, 479 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 4: It's just to me, it goes back to the division. 480 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 4: They're two to zero in the division. You have Cleveland, 481 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 4: it's gonna be Week eighteen, probably gonna be Shdoor Sanders 482 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 4: or who knows what other quarterback. By that point, you 483 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 4: expect to win that game. So that's three wins in 484 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: the division alone. Can you split with Baltimore? 485 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, And if. 486 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: That's the case, you have a chance to win the 487 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 4: division no matter what happens in the other Steelers game. 488 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 4: And so, as far as I'm concerned, that continues to 489 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: be the number one goal, which is beat your division opponents. 490 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 4: You know, it's one thing if you lose in the NFC, 491 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 4: if you lose that game to the Bears, or if 492 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 4: you lose that game to the Cardinals, whatever, but can 493 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: you take care of business in the AFC against teams 494 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 4: that you're supposed to beat? And I did a whole 495 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 4: segment yesterday about there is none of that for the Bengals. 496 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: I don't think that I go into any game expecting 497 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 4: them to win. I don't expect them to beat the 498 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 4: Jets because they have three major flaws that can get 499 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 4: you beat on any given Sunday. Can you improve that 500 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 4: between now and then? If I can see that, surely 501 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 4: Zach Taylor and Duke Tobin can see that. 502 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're gonna have to answer questions and 503 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn is going to I'm sure say, Jamar Chase 504 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: isn't gonna get targeted twenty three times. You know what 505 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 3: kind of answers can you come up with. I'm looking 506 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 3: forward to seeing that on Sunday. I'm also looking forward 507 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: to continuing this conversation a little bit as it relates 508 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 3: to the holes that you just mentioned on this team. 509 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 3: Let's discuss some of those and if and how they 510 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: could be addressed when we come back. 511 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 5: Well. 512 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 3: Also, some key takeaways from what Zach Taylor had to 513 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: say yesterday. Some Barreck Carter Breck Carter audio all leading 514 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 3: up to Joe Daneman at one o'clock. It's since he 515 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 3: three sixty on the home of the Bengals ESPN fifteen 516 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: to thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 517 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: You've been listening to Football in the Natti on e 518 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 519 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: Loegar. 520 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 4: We've talked about this a lot. 521 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 3: He's got what you want, Like, who's the go to guy? 522 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: Gonna be the interviews?

Feeling good gives Skyline time. Now here's Dan. 528 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 7: In d Lap, You famously convinced your fellow offensive lineman 529 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 7: to go sleeveless in the Freezer Bowl where the wind 530 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 7: show was minus fifty nine degrees? Was it more of 531 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 7: a psychological advantage or a physical one? 532 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 8: You know, I think it was both in you know, 533 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 8: that's I was thinking that initially was come from the east. 534 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 8: You know, I'm from the New England area. I've gone 535 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 8: through some winners. I know what cold weather's like and 536 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 8: not like that. That was butality, man, And of course 537 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 8: you ar from the West coast, so they really couldn't 538 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 8: go anywhere unless they flew in early to practice in 539 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 8: those kind of conditions. Unbelievable. I mean it was it 540 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 8: was survival. I never played the game of football like 541 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 8: that one because when you hit that field, oh man, 542 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 8: it was like you know you were falling on a brick, 543 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 8: you were falling on concrete. 544 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 6: For more on the life of Lap, keep it here 545 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 6: on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 546 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 3: Welcome back since e three to sixty ESPN fifteen thirty 547 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Station, thanks to our friends. It's Skyline Chili. 548 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: Anytime you're feeling good and hungry, it's Skyline time. 549 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 5: All right. 550 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: I want to pick back up real quick on the 551 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 3: conversation we were just having Austin. You made a mention 552 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 3: as well about you know that no game is a 553 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: given because of the glaring holes that this team has, 554 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 3: and I agree, which is crazy that I'm even leaning 555 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 3: this way, because we've talked about Geno Stone and I've 556 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: never seen a safety in football in a cover two 557 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 3: formation get as wide as Genostone has been getting. I 558 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 3: don't know how that works. We've also spent a lot 559 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: of time all off season and into the season talking 560 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 3: about the offensive line, which is crazy that I'm even 561 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 3: leaning this way. But if I were given the opportunity 562 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: to address one position group at the deadline, I think 563 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 3: I would go d line like Trey Hendrickson did not 564 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: play on Thursday and man, you want to talk about 565 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 3: a golden opportunity for Shamar Stewart Thursday night football, Trey 566 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 3: Hendrickson's out all eyes on. You do you know Shamar 567 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: Stewart's stat line on Thursday Night? I know it wasn't 568 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: very good. He didn't have one. Pretty quiet didn't have 569 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: a stat in twenty two snaps. This pass rush is abysmal. 570 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 3: Forty one year old Aaron Rogers stood in the pocket 571 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: as long as he wanted. Aaron Rodgers scrambled more than 572 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 3: I've seen Aaron Rodgers scramble in years to move around 573 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 3: and buy time. They have no pass rush, which doesn't 574 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 3: matter who's playing safety if you can't get and disrupt 575 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: the quarterback. So as crazy as it sounds, Austin knowing 576 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: the holes at the O line, knowing the glaring needed safety, 577 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 3: if I could only address one position, I think I 578 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 3: addressed D line. Yeah, I wouldn't. There's no way I 579 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: could disagree with that. 580 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 4: Like last night or Thursday night, at this point the 581 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 4: time that Rogers had, he comfortably picked them apart. The 582 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 4: Bengals offense was just better and Mike Tomlin had one 583 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 4: stupid punt that basically gave the Bengals a chance. 584 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 3: And you know. 585 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 4: You cannot do that against Patrick Mahomes. You can't do 586 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 4: that against Josh Allen. No, can't do that against Lamar 587 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 4: Jackson and Rogers. For many years you would say the 588 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 4: same thing. But I don't know that he has the 589 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 4: best team around him, and their defense is atrocious. But 590 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 4: against teams with good defenses, you can't allow that to happen, correct, 591 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 4: And so I agree with you something or someone to 592 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 4: put more pressure on the quarterback because that in and 593 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 4: of itself will help your secondary a little bit. And 594 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 4: so you can in that sense kill two birds with 595 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 4: one stone, which is crazy though because of how killed. 596 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 3: How about that? It's just crazy to think that where 597 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 3: the deficiencies are, that we could still think offensive line. 598 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: That to me is crazy, but I think it speaks 599 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: to how glaring of an issue that is. Yeah, now 600 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 3: that being said, do you think they do something like that? Uh? 601 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 4: No, I'm not convinced. Like, yeah, they've made trades the 602 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 4: last couple of years, and I've been the one touting 603 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 4: more than anyone else that the Bengals have changed. But 604 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 4: when it comes to this type of aggressive move. We 605 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: really haven't seen that. I've said it multiple times. That's 606 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 4: the next step in the evolution for this team is 607 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 4: being aggressive in the pursuit of a championship while in season. 608 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 4: I don't see them doing that, and I would love 609 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 4: to be proven wrong, but I don't have a high 610 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: expectation for that. 611 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 3: So the deadline is November fourth. Between now and then, 612 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: they have games against the Jets and Bears, and then 613 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 3: they're on their by coming out against the Steelers. So 614 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 3: if you look at a bye week astin, you could 615 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 3: have a better bye week than the trade deadline because 616 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: you could add somebody and then have them up the 617 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 3: speed to start right out of the deadline, right out 618 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 3: of the break. Would it require at minimum two and 619 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 3: zero over the next two to be a legitimate buyer? Yeah, 620 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: I mean anything under five hundred the deadline, I think 621 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 3: you're out. But it feels to me like if you 622 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: win these next two and we're talking about the uneasy 623 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: landscape that is right now, what the AFC, yes, go buy. 624 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 4: What should happen is you win on Sunday and buy. Yeah, 625 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: you don't have to wait, so you be the team 626 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 4: that's first in, Go get the best guy you can 627 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 4: get and have him for an extra game against the Bears, 628 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: and then he gets the bye week, and you know, 629 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 4: you figure it out from that. I mean, if we're 630 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 4: talking about a pass rusher. Yeah, it's not like they 631 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 4: need to come in and they need twelve days to 632 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 4: get the playbook down. Right, Hey, go out there on 633 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 4: third downs, right, get after the quarterback. 634 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. I just again, I I'd rather them do it 635 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 3: sooner rather than later. And if you get a win 636 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: and you get back to five hundred, and there are 637 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: rumblings that Joe Burrow is on track to make it 638 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: back for the last three games. If they're in position, 639 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 3: then by all means, go for it. I also Austin, 640 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 3: speaking of Joe Burrow, I don't think it's a coincidence 641 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 3: that him being on the sideline made this offense look different. 642 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: And I don't want to overreact because I I think 643 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco had a ton to do with it. But 644 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 3: Burrow being on the sideline and being a voice for 645 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 3: Flacco when he comes off or handling other things, I 646 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 3: think is understated how important that was. 647 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, why do we what's up with the formation of 648 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 4: the quarterbacks? On the sideline. Can you speak to this? 649 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 4: I mean, everybody has their spot starter sits at the end. 650 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 4: I said, back up in the middle, guy at the end? 651 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 3: Can can? 652 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 5: We said? 653 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 3: Can switch? Yeah? Can Browning just move? I don't need 654 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 3: Burrow talking over Browning to get the Flacco. Yeah, because 655 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 3: I so. Albert Breer mentioned, no disrespect, but can we. 656 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 5: So? 657 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: Albert Breer wrote this up about Burrow's involvement. He said, quote, 658 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 3: uh mentioned in our Thursday column that Flacco and center 659 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 3: Ted Carriss were having lunch film session together. Ted's great, 660 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 3: but there was someone else in there too. When Ted 661 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 3: and I met, Joe went up there and sat with 662 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 3: us and just chimed in. Here's how I would do that, 663 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 3: Here's what I would tell you guys. And it was 664 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 3: one of those things where I would say, Okay, I'm 665 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 3: not going to worry about that, or okay, this is helpful. 666 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: You can tell how much Burrow was invested. Yeah, I 667 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 3: think that's huge. Like so, if there's one thing I 668 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: can speak speak of Austin, it's the backup quarterback role. 669 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 3: It's not a role where as soon as Flacco gets 670 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 3: off the field, you're braiding him with things. Sure, it 671 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 3: is do you want me to watch anything you know 672 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 3: for Flaker? You might say, hey, can you keep an 673 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 3: eye on third downs for me what they're doing at 674 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 3: the back end, or you know, it's not Joe Burrow's 675 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 3: place as a backup when Flacco gets off the field 676 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 3: to just dice up everything that just happened. It is 677 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 3: more so I'm here if you want to ask me 678 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 3: a question about stuff, a formation, a play where you 679 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 3: look on this, what you're watching out four on this. 680 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 3: But it is also like I saw there was a 681 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 3: point in the game where Burrow was over there talking 682 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 3: to Andre Yoshibash. That's important too, sure for Burrow not 683 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 3: Floco to go over there and say, hey, here's what's 684 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: going on. Make sure you're ready for this, and then 685 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 3: Joe can go and talk to Flacco again. Yeah. 686 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 4: And a perfect example is that thirty seven yard completion 687 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 4: that Yoshibash had and Flacco said after the game, we 688 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 4: knew at some point they were going to bracket Tea 689 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 4: and Jamar and when they did, we had to be 690 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 4: able to hit it. 691 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 3: And it could be. 692 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 4: As simple as Joe goes up to Yoshi and says, listen, 693 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 4: they're going to go to this soon or this is 694 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 4: what it's going to look like. Here's how Joe's thinking. 695 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 4: He wants to put that ball Bubba whatever it is, 696 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 4: and bang they hit that big completion. 697 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 3: To keep him in the game. Yeah. I just I 698 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 3: think there is there's no coincidence that there is value 699 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow being on the sidelines and being in 700 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 3: the meetings. 701 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 4: His words carry a little bit more weight. Correct, correct, 702 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 4: His words carry a little bit more weight to everybody, 703 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 4: not just the other quart of And I also think 704 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 4: he's been around especially you know, obviously not when they 705 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 4: go to Green Bay and stuff like that, but he 706 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 4: has been around and in the facility. 707 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 3: Ye know that, Yes, but to be you know, as 708 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: Flacco said, I'm sitting there watching film with Ted and 709 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 3: Joe wanted to be in there. That's important because he 710 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 3: doesn't have to be doing that, but the stay connected 711 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 3: and to try to offer any input. Like I said, 712 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 3: he's not in there to talk on every play. He's 713 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 3: in there. If if Flacco has a question to say, 714 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 3: this is how I would do it. But this is 715 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,959 Speaker 3: what I'm looking at here. I just wish they would 716 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 3: move when they sit on the bench. What are we doing? 717 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 3: No offense to Jake Browning. I don't think there's a 718 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 3: lot that Browning can tell Flacco when he comes off 719 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 3: the field. Just let Joe sit there. Yeah, unbelievable. Let's 720 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 3: take a little bit away from what Zach Taylor had 721 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 3: to say yesterday.

Were there any big takeaways well from 756 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 3: yesterday's Zach Taylor Prescott. 757 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 4: I watched the whole thing, and Zach kept it short. 758 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 4: It was only nine minutes, which you know, coming off 759 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 4: of many buye I get it. Here were the big 760 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 4: takeaways that I had. Number One, Trey Hendrickson is day 761 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 4: to day, still dealing with that back and hip injury. 762 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 3: Okay. 763 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 4: The belief is that the conference is wide open and 764 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 4: there are a lot of good teams, but the Bengals 765 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 4: feel like they're right there in it, and that affects 766 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 4: decision making. The record of the Jets is not their focus, 767 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 4: or the Bengals record is not their focus. Don't care 768 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 4: about being three and four, don't care about getting four 769 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 4: and four. Just care about winning this week. Win in 770 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 4: the day. Okay, this is a much more normal week 771 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 4: for Joe Flacco, and instead of cramming and worrying about 772 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 4: all this stuff, you have stuff to build off of. 773 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 4: Not a surprise there, he said, Playing with the lead 774 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 4: opened up the entire run game. I would like your 775 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 4: explanation for that. What does he mean by when you're 776 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 4: playing with the lead, you have the entire call sheot 777 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 4: in front of you, and it opens up the run game. 778 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 3: Explain that, Well, when you're playing from behind a lot 779 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 3: of times, you become one dimensional. Sure, right, so a 780 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 3: team can pin their ears back a little bit easier 781 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 3: to get after the quarterback teams don't respect the run 782 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 3: as much. When you're playing from ahead, clearly everything is open. 783 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 3: Play action, run the ball, under center runs, shotgun runs. 784 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 3: It just opens everything up for an offense and for 785 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 3: a defense. It makes it tough because you're not forcing 786 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 3: a team to be one dimensional. When you're down, you know, 787 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 3: a score, two scores, you know, you get into that 788 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 3: double digit deficit. You have banned in the running game anyway, 789 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 3: and that just plays right into what a defense wants 790 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 3: to do. So when you're playing even or when you're 791 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 3: playing with the lead, everything's on the table and you 792 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 3: can be a little bit more creative. You can mow 793 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 3: outside zone, inside zone, play action, pass runs, from gun, 794 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 3: throws from under center. You get to mix everything up, 795 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 3: and it just keeps a defense on their heels. 796 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 4: More final point that I had from the Zach Taylor 797 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 4: press conference was that the Jets are not a winless 798 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 4: team on tape. Oh So, anybody, anybody in the building 799 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 4: who thinks that the Jets are an easy win or 800 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 4: somebody that the Bengals are just going to walk all 801 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 4: over that's concerning to Zach Taylor because that means they. 802 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 3: Haven't watched the tape. 803 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 4: Yes, okay, if you watch the tape and you think 804 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 4: that this team's zero and seven, you ain't been watching 805 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 4: a tape, is what Zach Taylor's trying. 806 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll buy it. I mean I get while you 807 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 3: do it, so I'll buy it. Okay. The Jets on 808 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 3: the year two point loss to the Steelers thirty four 809 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 3: to thirty two. They got blown out by the Bills. 810 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 3: They only lost to Tampa by two. Dolphins beat him, 811 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 3: Cowboys boat raced him. They had that tough loss to 812 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 3: Denver thirteen to eleven, and then just lost to the 813 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 3: Panthers thirteen to six. Has obviously disappeared for the New 814 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 3: York Jets. There was one other thing in there you 815 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 3: talked about Austin when when talking about the AFC as 816 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 3: a whole, how many as we sit here today, I 817 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,919 Speaker 3: don't want to talk about playoff teams? How many? 818 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 4: How many teams in the AFC do you view right 819 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,959 Speaker 4: now as a Super Bowl contender? Teams in the AFC? Yep, 820 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 4: you think one legitimately can win a Super Bowl? Two three, 821 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 4: So I would guess you put Buffalo in Kansas City 822 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 4: in there. Yes, who's the third team? The Indianapolis Golts Okay, 823 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 4: they convinced me this week. Okay, they convinced me that 824 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 4: they are. 825 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 3: I can be bought into that. 826 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 4: They have a run game, and they have a defense, 827 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 4: and they protect their quarterback and they have invested on 828 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 4: that defensive line. 829 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 830 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 3: I don't know what to make about the Chargers. I'm 831 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 3: not there with the Broncos. I don't think Jacksonville has 832 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 3: stayed in power. No one in the AFC North right 833 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 3: now gives me super Bowl contender vibes. And I think 834 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 3: the Patriots are trending that way, but I don't think 835 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 3: they're there yet. Can the Bengals win the Super Bowl 836 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 3: right now? 837 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 5: No? 838 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 3: No, no, no? Can they? Can they win the Super 839 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 3: Bowl if they make a couple moves? 840 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 9: Yeah? 841 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 4: Probably, maybe potentially. Yeah, it becomes a lot more realistic. Correct, 842 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 4: as they're constructed now, They're not realistic right now. As 843 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 4: they're constructed now, they what if they're only what if 844 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 4: they Okay, let's say that they are seven and seven 845 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 4: and Burrow comes back for the final three games? 846 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 3: Are they a Super Bowl contender? Yes? Okay, same question, NFC. 847 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 11: I have. 848 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 4: The Rams and the Lions. Okay, Tampa's not in there 849 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 4: for you. No, not right now, not with the injuries. 850 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 4: Packer's not in there for you. No, Eagle's not in there. No, Okay, I. 851 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 3: Think there are more. I think there are more contending 852 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 3: teams in the NFC than the AFC. 853 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 4: Yes, I agree with that. It's LA and Detroit and 854 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 4: then a sizeable gap. Okay, you get to that next group. 855 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 4: For me, Okay, it's crazy because green Bay started the 856 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 4: season looked like the clear cut favorites. 857 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 3: They've just not looked as sharp. They Philly just feels 858 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 3: like they're not clicking at all, and yet they're still 859 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 3: winning football games. My cousin is a big Packer fan 860 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 3: and a big fan of since he three to sixty 861 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 3: shout out. So I asked him, you know, to ask 862 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 3: about the Packers, and he says, sometimes they have an 863 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 3: elite defense. The rest of the time they're clueless. That's 864 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 3: not what you want to be dispeople, the people in 865 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 3: Green Bay, and I got to speak with these people. 866 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 3: They don't love Matt Lafleur. Yea, everything's a walk in 867 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 3: the park. They played down to their opponents. There's not 868 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 3: enough urgency and Jordan Love, as you and I have 869 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 3: talked about many times, can't make up his mind whether 870 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 3: or not he's a great quarterback. 871 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 12: Yeah. 872 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 3: They I mean they didn't show well in the second 873 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 3: half against the Bengals. They tied the Cowboys, they lost 874 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 3: to the Browns, and had to come from behind to 875 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 3: beat the Cardinals this weekend. Correct, let's take a break. 876 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 3: Fox nineteen zoned. Joe Daniman stands by to join us 877 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 3: next yeat.

How cool is that? So 906 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 9: it's about an hour before the game, and I leave 907 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 9: the press box to go down and visit them and 908 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 9: see how they're doing, take a picture. And as I'm 909 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 9: walking back from the concourse to the press box, I hear, hey, Danoman, 910 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 9: Now three consecutive games where I've been needed at a 911 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 9: Bengals game, one on a Sunday, one in Green Bay, 912 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 9: one on a Thursday night. We've got to keep it going. 913 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 9: This weekend, I'll be on the field Bengals Jets on Sunday, Cincinnati. 914 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 9: You know the assignment. 915 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 3: I love it. I love it, I love it. 916 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 4: I was thinking about buying a ticket now I might 917 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 4: do it, just to do that, just to eat. 918 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, their first time getting down to a game. 919 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 9: First time. Actually, my oldest went to the Eagles game 920 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 9: last year, which he wanted to delete from his memory, 921 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 9: but his middle brother went with him for the first time, 922 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 9: literally the first game he's ever gone to. He's the 923 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 9: biggest Bengals fan in our household, so for them to 924 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 9: go to that game and enjoy it. I told this 925 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 9: to Jeremy Row after the game, that they went to 926 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 9: their first game, and Jeremy said, the Bengals just got 927 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 9: two lifelong fans. Yeah, after that game. 928 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 3: It's tough to beat that though, so cool, that's tough 929 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 3: to beat for the next time. 930 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 14: It is. 931 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 9: It is, especially considering you got to see Aaron Rodgers 932 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 9: and Joe Flacco compete at over forty years old, and 933 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 9: now they think their dad can do anything hit forty. 934 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 3: How much? How much does Thursday Night just change the 935 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 3: feel and the vibe around the team itself? 936 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 9: Very much so and expectedly so. And we weren't wrong 937 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 9: for we being everybody who watches this team saying that 938 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 9: it felt like that was a crossroads of the season. 939 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 9: It felt like that outside of the building, and I 940 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 9: think it kind of felt that way inside the building 941 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 9: as well. It was funny yesterday and everybody always gets 942 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 9: their chance to play on the touch screen whatever playlist 943 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,439 Speaker 9: they want, but whether the older players had cleared out, 944 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 9: only a couple of rookies were still left inside. It 945 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 9: was Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight, and those guys surprised 946 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 9: everyone and put on a country playlist and Demetrius Knight 947 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 9: put on Travis Tritt. It's a great day to be alive. 948 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 3: Wow. 949 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:51,479 Speaker 9: And it just feels like there's this sunshine shining through 950 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 9: Pey Course Stadium right now. Is the Bengals have gotten 951 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 9: themselves to three and four, and we all know what's 952 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,879 Speaker 9: coming up. There are winnable games for the Bengals here 953 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 9: before the bye week, and I would pause on the 954 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 9: Bears being lumped in with the Jets, and a lot 955 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 9: of people seem to be doing that, even though the 956 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 9: Bears have been playing good football and I think the 957 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 9: record would surprise people. But certainly there's a golden opportunity 958 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 9: for this team to get to four and four playing 959 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 9: against the Jets on Sunday. 960 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 3: If it's a team that can get to four and 961 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 3: four and maybe even possibly five and four, and we 962 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 3: continue to hear positive reports on the possibility of Joe 963 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 3: Burrow joining this team at the end of the year, 964 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 3: does it push this team the way they're constructed to 965 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 3: maybe be an aggressive team at the deadline coming up? 966 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 9: Ooh, I would say sure, yeah. I mean, look, if 967 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 9: you're going to invest in a trade to get Joe 968 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 9: Flacco here and try to keep this thing afloat, and 969 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 9: he's done that not only in the win loss column, 970 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 9: but also just the way it looks in the optics 971 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 9: of what he's done so far he's been here, why 972 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 9: would you not look at adding to your team and 973 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 9: improving your team in other ways? And certainly the Bengals 974 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:13,240 Speaker 9: have positions and position groups where they could do that. Certainly, 975 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,240 Speaker 9: safety is one that jumps to mind. Defensive line jumps 976 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 9: to mind. They need to put more production out of 977 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 9: the defensive line. Offensive line is an area they could address. 978 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 9: So while I look at the Bengals right now is 979 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 9: possibly winning their way back into playoff contention that this 980 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 9: roster in this era is supposed to be about winning 981 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 9: playoff games and competing for Super Bowls, and the way 982 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 9: they're constructed right now with this roster, it probably isn't 983 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 9: good enough. And you could argue with me, it isn't 984 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 9: good enough even if Joe is healthy to win a 985 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,239 Speaker 9: super Bowl, And it kind of feels like there's no 986 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 9: real super dominant team, even though it feels like Kansas 987 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 9: City might be trending towards that way the way they 988 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 9: played the last couple of weeks, But it feels like 989 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 9: even if Joe were healthy, they would still need some 990 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 9: more additions for this team to feel real comfortable about 991 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 9: making a Super Bowl run. So sure, what two weeks 992 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 9: until the trade deadline. They have multiple position groups they 993 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 9: could upgrade in a lot of times, it isn't the 994 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 9: huge splash that can help you get over the hump. 995 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 9: I mean, look what the Reds did at the trade deadline, 996 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 9: and we can laugh and say, well, though the Reds 997 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,799 Speaker 9: didn't win the World Series, but they made the playoffs 998 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 9: and they got there with the help of some of 999 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 9: the acquisitions they had at their trade deadline. So certainly, yeah, 1000 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 9: I think the Bengals should be looking to be aggressive 1001 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,320 Speaker 9: to upgrade the roster they've done it once already at quarterback, 1002 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 9: and that was to keep a season afloat. And now 1003 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 9: that the season is afloat, why not look to improve 1004 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 9: at positions they need improvement. 1005 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 3: So we discussed them bringing in Joe Flacco, you discussed 1006 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 3: the possibility to trade deadline. I look back at what 1007 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,760 Speaker 3: they chose to do or not to do on Sunday 1008 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 3: or on Thursday. They made Cam Taylor britt a healthy scratch, 1009 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 3: They started Jalen Rivers and Dalton Reisner. It feels to 1010 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 3: me we've seen Logan Wilson at times in his snap counts, 1011 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 3: but it seems to me, Joe, that we're seeing a 1012 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 3: team that's coaching with urgency, not a team that's waiting 1013 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 3: to see, Okay, let's see if this player can figure 1014 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 3: it out or not. But we need guys on the field. 1015 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 3: They're gonna help us right now. Do you get a 1016 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 3: sense of that that the way they are constructing these 1017 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 3: rosters on any game day is literally the urgency way 1018 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,240 Speaker 3: of can this player help us today or not? Because 1019 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 3: we don't have time to wait around and see if 1020 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:30,439 Speaker 3: they're going to get better. 1021 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 12: That's really a great point, and yeah, I think so. 1022 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 9: I mean, listen, you go back and you listen to 1023 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,320 Speaker 9: what Zach Taylor has said over the years about coaches 1024 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,439 Speaker 9: and winning, and I always think of that Miami game 1025 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 9: that the Bengals almost one that would have cost them 1026 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 9: Joe Burrow. And you know, to paraphrase what Zach Taylor 1027 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 9: said in there is coaches are coaching for their jobs 1028 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 9: at all times. Players are competing for their jobs at 1029 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 9: all times. And I think the urgency and the conversations 1030 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 9: that were being had about Dak Taylor, what about this 1031 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 9: coaching staff ahead of Thursday night football. There had to 1032 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 9: be real urgency for this team to find a way 1033 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 9: to get a win, to cool the seat, so to speak. 1034 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 9: And if that's playing younger players, if that's committing to 1035 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 9: trying different things, I think you have to commend them 1036 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 9: for that, turning over every rock they can to try 1037 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,240 Speaker 9: to find the right combination. Now, you would argue also 1038 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 9: at the same time, then why is Geno Stone still playing? 1039 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 9: If they're going to do the youth movement at linebacker, 1040 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 9: if they're going to do the youth thing at offensive line, 1041 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 9: they have younger players at safety, and younger doesn't always 1042 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 9: mean better, younger and different doesn't always mean it's going 1043 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,839 Speaker 9: to be different. But I think certainly we've seen what 1044 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 9: Geno Stone is and what he isn't And at this point, 1045 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,840 Speaker 9: I think a lot of people listening to this would 1046 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 9: like to see somebody else get a shot back there, 1047 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 9: who can take better angles, who who can be a 1048 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 9: more consistent player and give this team a better chance 1049 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,479 Speaker 9: of winning, Because if they're going to make that kind 1050 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 9: of commitment at corner, at linebacker, at offensive line, why 1051 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 9: not make that same kind of commitment at safety. 1052 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 4: Joe, for many reasons, I haven't been sleeping well the 1053 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,279 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks, and the biggest reason maybe is 1054 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 4: that the Bengals can't tackle. Are they going to do 1055 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 4: anything or can they do anything this week to really 1056 00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 4: focus and hone in on that and practice or otherwise 1057 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 4: to improve the tackling moving forward. 1058 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,959 Speaker 9: By the way, you mentioned not being able to sleep 1059 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 9: the last couple of weeks, I'm sure that's an allude 1060 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 9: to what would happened with Tony and Tony I want 1061 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 9: two minutes here, okay at the end of this segment, 1062 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 9: save two minutes, because I'm in the questions asking business, 1063 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 9: oh boy, and I've got questions to ask of you 1064 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,720 Speaker 9: and you don't have to answer them, right. That happens 1065 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 9: to me all the time. I have questions all the 1066 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 9: time and I don't get answers. But save me two 1067 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 9: minutes at the end of this segments the missing tackles question, 1068 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,080 Speaker 9: I don't I don't know, Austin. We we asked this 1069 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 9: question to to coaches, but both Zach Taylor and defensive 1070 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,919 Speaker 9: coaches all the time, and we get the same kind 1071 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 9: of echo chamber answer where there just isn't a lot 1072 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 9: of that they can do during season and it kind 1073 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 9: of is what it is and they are who they are. 1074 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 9: How how that can improve? I don't know. In season 1075 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 9: when these guys just don't get a lot of time 1076 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 9: actually full go live tackling and practice at all. They 1077 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 9: can drill it individually, they can keep doing that, but 1078 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 9: at some point professionals need to get guys on the ground, 1079 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 9: and if that's what they're paid to do, they need 1080 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 9: to do it at a higher clip. It's certainly something 1081 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 9: that the Bengals coaches are very aware of that they 1082 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,720 Speaker 9: stress during training, can that they stress even the season 1083 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 9: as far as any kind of a drill they can do. 1084 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,720 Speaker 9: But at some point the fingers got to be pointed 1085 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 9: right at the players and say they just have to 1086 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 9: be better and they haven't been good enough. 1087 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 3: Did this team unlock something that is repeatable in the 1088 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:14,359 Speaker 3: running game on Thursday night? 1089 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, I hope so. I think so, And I think 1090 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 9: I think it's important to understand as well that that 1091 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 9: the Bengals were going against a lot of really good 1092 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 9: fronts early in the season. That's not an excuse why 1093 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 9: Chase Brown and some I JP Ryan weren't finding the 1094 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,439 Speaker 9: kind of success that we would even consider just good 1095 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 9: enough for the run game. But I think once you 1096 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 9: got into playing the Steelers and playing with the lead, 1097 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 9: what was a big deal for this team to kind 1098 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 9: of stretch the run game a little bit? And now 1099 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 9: we got to stretch against defenses where I think you 1100 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 9: can get the run game going against the Jets, against 1101 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 9: the Bears, twice, against Baltimore, once against Buffalo. These these 1102 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 9: are teams that you can't you can run on and 1103 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 9: don't need to run on if you're gonna win those games, 1104 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 9: especially against those good offenses in Baltimore and Buffalo. I 1105 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 9: really liked what I saw. Everybody left the Green Bay 1106 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 9: game with a great feeling about Joe Flacco, and Jamar 1107 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 9: Chase and t Higgins. But I liked the way the 1108 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 9: run game started to look at moments in that game. 1109 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 9: Chase Brown, I think had a run or two over 1110 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 9: over ten yards against the Green Bay Packers when they 1111 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 9: pitched to him the outside and they let him use 1112 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 9: his speed and playmaking in some space, and then it 1113 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 9: carried over and Zach Taylor talked about this on Monday. 1114 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 9: The idea that they played with a lead allowed them 1115 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,439 Speaker 9: to lean on it just a little bit more, and 1116 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 9: you could feel it from Chase Brown after the game. 1117 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 9: You could feel it from Chase Brown when they signed 1118 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 9: and traded for Joe Flacco, just a kind of a 1119 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 9: burden that lifted off his shoulders a little bit, and 1120 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 9: certainly having his first one hundred yard game of the season, 1121 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 9: you could tell his spirits were lifted a little bit. 1122 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,360 Speaker 9: Now there's a little more confidence in the run game. 1123 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 12: I expect. 1124 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 9: I expect the next couple of weeks the Bengals run 1125 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 9: game will continue to look good and continue to grow. 1126 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 9: They're going to need it in the second half of 1127 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 9: the season. 1128 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 3: Am I overreacting to the fact of how important it 1129 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 3: was to have Joe Burrow on the sidelines, not just 1130 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 3: to help Joe Flacco, but to talk to receivers, to 1131 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 3: talk to offensive lineman. There was a story from Albert 1132 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 3: Breer about Joe sitting in on a meeting with Joe 1133 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 3: with Flacco and Ted Carris. How important is it? I 1134 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 3: know he's he's not able to do everything, but how 1135 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 3: important is it to have Joe Burrow around and willing 1136 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 3: to help Joe Flacco through this? 1137 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 9: Well? I think if there's anybody qualified really to answer 1138 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 9: that question about what a backup course in the NFL 1139 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 9: can do to help a starting quarterback at Austin Elmore 1140 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 9: No toldy, I mean, you know right, I look at 1141 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 9: it like this. Two points I want to make, Okay, 1142 00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 9: So the first point is I made the mistake on 1143 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,240 Speaker 9: Thursday night of sending out a tweet that I thought 1144 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 9: Dak Taylor was cooking. I thought Zach Taylor had one 1145 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 9: of his best games in recent memory as a play caller, 1146 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 9: and Austin and I were testing about this. You were 1147 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 9: so far out of mind because I thought you were 1148 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 9: unemployed and even think to spect. 1149 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 15: You tell me. 1150 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 9: And I of those mentions the next day, and every 1151 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 9: Bengals fan with a keyboard was telling me, didn't you 1152 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 9: see Joe Burrow had ahead? Like, come on, people, we're 1153 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 9: smarter than that. The idea that Joe is in meetings, 1154 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 9: that to me is where he can be a difference 1155 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 9: maker for Joe Flacco. I have to imagine that an 1156 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 9: NFL game in between plays, in between series is just 1157 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 9: chaos of information coming from so many different places. It's 1158 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 9: hard to calm your brain down enough to hear one 1159 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 9: voice and have that voice be the kind of difference 1160 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 9: made or that we think Joe Burrow could be. Does 1161 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:07,440 Speaker 9: it help, certainly? Absolutely. Not only does it help mechanically 1162 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 9: with Joe talking to quarterbacks and talking to wide receivers, 1163 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 9: I think it helps emotionally that that one or two 1164 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 9: percent of whatever it is of having him on the 1165 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 9: sidelines adds a little bit of juice to the Bengalis, 1166 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 9: There's no doubt about it. But having Joe inside of 1167 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 9: a meeting room and helping Joe Flacco understand concepts, understand tendencies, 1168 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 9: understand what t and Jamar and andre Yoshibas like, where 1169 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 9: they like the football, what they tend to do on 1170 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 9: certain coverages, That to me is where Joe Burrow should 1171 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 9: be a difference maker. For this team. We see him 1172 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 9: every Monday. He's in every team meeting. When they break 1173 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 9: the meeting, he's with the whole group of players coming 1174 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 9: back into the room. I'm most certain he's there during 1175 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 9: the week in practice and in meetings, helping Joe Flacco 1176 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 9: when he can, so that I think that's where the 1177 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 9: difference comes, and not necessarily the huge difference that he 1178 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 9: makes just in between series during games. 1179 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,479 Speaker 4: I do think with his absence on the field, we've 1180 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 4: seen Jamar Chase grow as a leader, and obviously he's 1181 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 4: getting better and better it seems like on the field. 1182 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 4: Two part question, how have you seen Jamar grow his 1183 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 4: role as a leader on and off the field? And secondly, 1184 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 4: is he's the best Bengals wide receiver of all time? 1185 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 3: Already? 1186 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 9: He is? Yeah, He's the best Bengals wide receiver of 1187 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 9: all times. And that's understanding his stats aren't yet there 1188 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 9: with Aj Green and Ed Johnson. But if Jamar Chase 1189 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 9: were to retire tomorrow and somebody asked me in forty years, 1190 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 9: who was the best you ever saw do it in Cincinnati? 1191 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 9: Is Jamar Chase. 1192 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 5: It's just. 1193 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 9: It's pretty obvious at this point just watching him perform 1194 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 9: I think he's the story of the Bengals season. 1195 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 3: I agree, I truly. 1196 01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 9: Do, because we can talk about what and with Joe 1197 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 9: Burrow and understand the quarterback position is the most important 1198 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 9: position in football, It's the most important position in sports. 1199 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 9: And the Bengals going forward and making the trade for 1200 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 9: Joe Flacco, this doesn't work unless you have one of 1201 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 9: the most unique players in football history. And what Jamar 1202 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 9: Chase brings to this team not only from what he 1203 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 9: does physically with his assignment, and that's playing wide receiver 1204 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 9: and getting open, it's also Jamar Chase going out and 1205 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 9: running a route and then that play being a run 1206 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 9: play and Chase Brown breaks free and Jamar Chase sees 1207 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 9: it out of the corner of his eyes and sprints 1208 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 9: downfield to make a block to get Chase Brown an 1209 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 9: extra ten yards. These are the kinds of things that 1210 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 9: a guy with a sea on his chest does, and 1211 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 9: I think Jamar Chase felt empowered by being named a captain, 1212 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 9: has reminded himself publicly multiple times that he is a 1213 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 9: captain when answering questions at the podium, I challenge people 1214 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 9: who don't follow the Bengals, and I know people who 1215 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 9: listen to the show do but I challenge people who 1216 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 9: don't follow the Bengals to watch his weekly press conferences 1217 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 9: and see the ease of which he's able to answer questions. 1218 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 9: Be a leader, be entertaining, but also at the same time, 1219 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 9: be the kind of guy that guys look up to 1220 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 9: and say that that's the kind of person we need 1221 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 9: in this room leading this team. He e to me, 1222 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 9: the difference he makes not only physically but emotionally for 1223 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 9: this team has become the story of the Bengals season. 1224 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 9: And if this team is able to in the second 1225 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 9: half get back into playoffs contention, it's going to obviously 1226 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 9: be what Joe Flacco does, It's going to be can 1227 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 9: the defense tackle better? But most importantly is it Ken 1228 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 9: Jamar Chase carry this team physically and emotionally in the 1229 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 9: second half. Because it feels like to me right now, 1230 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 9: he's the number one story in Cincinnati. That story should 1231 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 9: be one of the top stories in the NFL. What 1232 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 9: he's doing this year should be celebrated, and I think 1233 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 9: is being celebrated here, but I think it should be 1234 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 9: talked about more nationally. 1235 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 3: Speak of another Cincinnati sports story, Joe, how much are 1236 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 3: you buying into what's happening in Clifton right now. 1237 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 9: Exciting. Man, the relevant and that's what we talked about, 1238 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 9: I think the last time, and it's interesting, Tony. The 1239 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 9: last time I think you and I talked about the 1240 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 9: Bearcats on this show was Week one Nebraska, and the 1241 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 9: whole idea was, can you stay relevant in the Cincinnati 1242 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 9: sports landscape as things start to pick up, as the 1243 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 9: Bengals start, as the Reds are in a playoff chase, 1244 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,439 Speaker 9: and then ce Cincinnati is now in the playoff chase. Yeah, 1245 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,000 Speaker 9: they're relevant, and I think it's a great thing, not 1246 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 9: only for the Bearcats and they're fans, but for Scott Sadterfield. 1247 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 9: I mean, look, there's a guy who needed this and 1248 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 9: he got it. And this looks like the Scott Saderfield 1249 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 9: plan is working. Now the schedule gets harder, and that's cool, 1250 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 9: that's great. That's what Bearcats fans want, that's what you see, 1251 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 9: want to be playing relevant games in October and November 1252 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 9: with a chance to go do some things that at 1253 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 9: the beginning of the year they said they could and 1254 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 9: a lot of people said you couldn't. There's no way 1255 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,680 Speaker 9: you could play into Big twelve championship. This team doesn't 1256 01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 9: have that here they are, they're in that conversation. And 1257 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 9: when you have the kind of momentum they have and 1258 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 9: then you have the quarterback play that they've got, you're 1259 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 9: in a great position. It's exciting. The relevant. They they've 1260 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 9: got a shot here and they've got a shot against 1261 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 9: the teams they need to be to earn their way 1262 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 9: to Dallas. And I think that's a cool thing too. 1263 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 9: If they're going to get there, they're going to earn 1264 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 9: it here the next month. 1265 01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 12: And a half. 1266 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:40,480 Speaker 3: You said you had a question as well at the 1267 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 3: end of this what do you got? 1268 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 9: Oh boy, Well, I've got questions, okay, And understand you 1269 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 9: don't have to answer these questions, but I've had a 1270 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 9: lot of conversations with people and they want these questions 1271 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 9: answered or at least asked. 1272 01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 3: Surekay. 1273 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,479 Speaker 9: So when did you find out you were coming back? 1274 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:00,560 Speaker 5: Uh? 1275 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 3: The end of last week? 1276 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 9: Right?

He backed head coach Aaron Glenn, 1774 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,120 Speaker 4: but he said that the quarterback decision is completely up 1775 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:33,400 Speaker 4: to Aaron Glenn, and Glenn hasn't announced who the quarterback 1776 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 4: is going to be. But Rich, I don't know how 1777 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:40,320 Speaker 4: to say his name. Samini. Rich Samini, who covers the 1778 01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,760 Speaker 4: Jets for ESPN, and I believe was on this show 1779 01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 4: once before Friend of the Show.

Tyrod Taylor started for Virginia 1784 01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,840 Speaker 4: Tech in the Onge Bowl against you opposite of me 1785 01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:10,439 Speaker 4: in the O eighto nine season. Do you think Tyrod 1786 01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 4: Taylor will throw over or under his passing yards posted 1787 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,720 Speaker 4: in the Orange Bowl on Sunday. How many did he 1788 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,040 Speaker 4: have in the Orange Bowl? I would say he would 1789 01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,040 Speaker 4: throw comfortably over.

Woody Johnson on Jets head coach Aaron 1792 01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 3: Glenn with Justin Fields at quarterback, said quote, if you 1793 01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,560 Speaker 3: look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, 1794 01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 3: you're going to see similar results. Oh if we can't, 1795 01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:47,960 Speaker 3: he said, if we can just complete a pass, it 1796 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:52,920 Speaker 3: would look good.

The 1831 01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,799 Speaker 3: head ball coach of the twenty first ranked that Cincinnati 1832 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:04,679 Speaker 3: bear Cats. After a resounding win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, 1833 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,720 Speaker 3: the Bearcats now travel home. They have begun their preparations 1834 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 3: for Baylor. Baylor is a football team that can fill 1835 01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 3: it up offensively, got a great defensive team, but they 1836 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:17,200 Speaker 3: can score and have scored with anybody that they've won 1837 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 3: up against this year. We'll discuss more of that, but 1838 01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 3: first here's the head football coach, Scott Saderfield, speaking to 1839 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:24,240 Speaker 3: members of the media earlier today. 1840 01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 40: Yeah, just you know, first of all, going back to 1841 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 40: last week, proud of our guys go on the road 1842 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,400 Speaker 40: in the Big twelve to get a win. As always hard, 1843 01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 40: you know, but I thought our guys were very resilient 1844 01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,479 Speaker 40: in that game, went out and played played hard, played 1845 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,640 Speaker 40: physical all the way through the end. I thought, you know, 1846 01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 40: there's a point in time there in the second half 1847 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:42,360 Speaker 40: where the game really could have went either way. And 1848 01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 40: you know, proud of our guys and how we finished 1849 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,640 Speaker 40: the fourth quarter getting a couple of turnovers, including the 1850 01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:52,400 Speaker 40: pick six, you know, and then you know, just finishing 1851 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:53,960 Speaker 40: it off. I thought, I thought it was a great 1852 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 40: environment as home, coming out there at Oklahoma State, and 1853 01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:58,880 Speaker 40: you know, but really proud of the way that we 1854 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,280 Speaker 40: finished out that game. And you know, looking forward to 1855 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 40: this week, you know, playing Baylor, a very talented team. 1856 01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:08,400 Speaker 40: Coach Horanda's done a great job with this team. I 1857 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 40: think you go back to last year when they won 1858 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 40: six in a row to finish the season, and this 1859 01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:17,680 Speaker 40: year have been in every game, including lost some very 1860 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:22,559 Speaker 40: close games as well. Outstanding offense, number one passing offense 1861 01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,439 Speaker 40: in the country, the quarterbacks an outstanding player. They had 1862 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 40: some great talent on the outside with some wide receiver play, 1863 01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 40: good running back defense, of aggressive defense that has done 1864 01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,680 Speaker 40: a really nice job on that side of the ball 1865 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:37,840 Speaker 40: as well. And I think their special teams are very 1866 01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:38,439 Speaker 40: very solid. 1867 01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,000 Speaker 3: So I mean a complete team. 1868 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 40: It'll take a great effort out of our guys this 1869 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 40: week in practice to get ready to go play this team. 1870 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:50,000 Speaker 41: I think only twenty seven snaps for Dante last week 1871 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:51,960 Speaker 41: is that just load management? 1872 01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 3: Is the ankle still not all the way back is 1873 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:55,599 Speaker 3: it a little of both? 1874 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 40: Yeah, I mean probably a little both, you know, trying 1875 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 40: to work him back in and and and obviously he's 1876 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:02,240 Speaker 40: not one hundred percent. 1877 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 3: I think if you see watch the film you can 1878 01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 3: see that. 1879 01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:07,640 Speaker 40: And but but obviously having his presence out there and 1880 01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:11,000 Speaker 40: being around our guys is huge for us, you know, so, 1881 01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:13,400 Speaker 40: But but yeah, I mean I think if you even 1882 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:15,760 Speaker 40: go back, I mean, he's not probably not playing more 1883 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:19,240 Speaker 40: than thirty five snaps anyway. So normally we rotate a 1884 01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 40: lot of guys up front. We're going to rotate a 1885 01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,560 Speaker 40: lot of linebackers. I mean, you know, anytime there's a 1886 01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 40: change for offensive personnel, then we're going to rotate. 1887 01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:28,080 Speaker 4: So so we're always going to continue to do that. 1888 01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,120 Speaker 40: But but hopefully each and every week as we go 1889 01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 40: through the remainder of this season, that that hopefully is 1890 01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:33,720 Speaker 40: healing up, you know better and better. 1891 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:36,880 Speaker 41: How much of their success in the run game was 1892 01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:39,600 Speaker 41: maybe showing stuff that they hadn't put on tape with 1893 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,240 Speaker 41: a new play caller. Was there anything to that or 1894 01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 41: did they just they had a really good time. 1895 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,080 Speaker 40: I think they did a good job with what they 1896 01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,880 Speaker 40: did offensively. They were more sound I think offensually got 1897 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:53,439 Speaker 40: into some unbalanced personnel. A couple of plays that got 1898 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:57,000 Speaker 40: out on us I thought was a crack replaced where 1899 01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,599 Speaker 40: we didn't replace, and they had a forty one yard 1900 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:02,040 Speaker 40: run on that. A couple times we didn't spill the 1901 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 40: blocker on the interier and they popped a couple of runs. 1902 01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,760 Speaker 3: So really a couple of runs we didn't fit right. 1903 01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 3: But I bet again give them some credit. I thought. 1904 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:10,920 Speaker 3: I thought it running back ran hard. Thought the offensive 1905 01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:11,639 Speaker 3: line blocked well. 1906 01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:15,280 Speaker 40: And then the quarterback, you know, he presents problems because 1907 01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:17,120 Speaker 40: he's very athletic. Once he got out and got loose 1908 01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:19,599 Speaker 40: a few times, you know, picked up a few rushing yards, 1909 01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:23,519 Speaker 40: scored a touchdown, you know. So, But I do think 1910 01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:25,320 Speaker 40: there were a lot more sound in their in their 1911 01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 40: game planning for this. This is the first time that 1912 01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:30,400 Speaker 40: the new play caller was was calling. I thought you 1913 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 40: did a good job. 1914 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:33,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1915 01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,600 Speaker 4: Soresby's ability to distribute the ball to different people is 1916 01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:38,439 Speaker 4: that something I don't know if you can coach that 1917 01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,519 Speaker 4: or is that just based on game plans each week? 1918 01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 3: How was how's he done so well there? 1919 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:42,120 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1920 01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:43,640 Speaker 40: I mean he's done a really good job with that. 1921 01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:45,920 Speaker 40: Just because it comes back to taking what the defense 1922 01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,960 Speaker 40: gives us. You know, I think in the past I've 1923 01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,360 Speaker 40: had I've had maybe you know, where there's one or 1924 01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:52,800 Speaker 40: two guys we want to get the ball to, and 1925 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:54,720 Speaker 40: so we just keep calling the place for those one 1926 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 40: or two guys. That's not been the case this year. 1927 01:40:57,360 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 40: I feel like we were blessed to have a bunch 1928 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:02,360 Speaker 40: of guys that can make and so this year it's 1929 01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 40: more about calling to play because we like the way 1930 01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:08,720 Speaker 40: the play looks against that defense, and then not really 1931 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:10,560 Speaker 40: caring where the ball goes, like, all right, what is 1932 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,000 Speaker 40: the defense doing, who are they covering? Hit the ball 1933 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 40: to the to the uncovered guy. And I think that's 1934 01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,400 Speaker 40: why you've been able to see the distribution of the ball. 1935 01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:19,800 Speaker 40: You know, with a bunch of different guys making some 1936 01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:23,080 Speaker 40: great catches, a couple of running backs that can make 1937 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:24,559 Speaker 40: plays for us, you got to, you know, the tight 1938 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,160 Speaker 40: ends are making plays, and so I think it's very 1939 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,559 Speaker 40: difficult to defend that when you have so many guys 1940 01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:33,200 Speaker 40: that are making plays. And doesn't you know a great 1941 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:35,800 Speaker 40: example is Cyrus Allen had one catch last week and 1942 01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:37,959 Speaker 40: then this past game, you know, he gets three touchdowns. 1943 01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:39,599 Speaker 40: I mean, so you just never know when the ball 1944 01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,360 Speaker 40: is going to find you, but when it does, you 1945 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,040 Speaker 40: have to be prepared and ready to go make a play. 1946 01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:47,320 Speaker 42: Scott, With you guys on a six game winning streak, 1947 01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,200 Speaker 42: how much fun are you having coaching this team right 1948 01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:54,080 Speaker 42: now if they just continue to stack wins and now 1949 01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:55,080 Speaker 42: being ineligible? 1950 01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:59,320 Speaker 40: Yeah, you know it goes back to really back to 1951 01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:01,479 Speaker 40: this summer with these guys.

Like, it's just fun being around 1962 01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,640 Speaker 40: them because they're they're so intentional in their work of 1963 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:31,320 Speaker 40: what they're putting in and their routine. 1964 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:33,559 Speaker 3: That's that's what's fun. 1965 01:42:33,680 --> 01:42:33,840 Speaker 5: You know. 1966 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,360 Speaker 40: I think Saturday is just showing them you know, just 1967 01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,040 Speaker 40: the fruit of all the labor they're putting in throughout 1968 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:38,479 Speaker 40: the whole. 1969 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:45,360 Speaker 28: Week get the win to turn over battle again, how 1970 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 28: did it feel to be able to have the ball 1971 01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:49,320 Speaker 28: bounce you guys as a way. You know, earlier in 1972 01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,960 Speaker 28: the season it's a few fumble forced fumbles, what they 1973 01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 28: bounced right back into the teams you know, hand you know, 1974 01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:56,920 Speaker 28: just how did it feel to win that back? 1975 01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:00,320 Speaker 40: Well, that's outstanding. And to finally get an interception was 1976 01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,720 Speaker 40: was very joyful to say the least. And then you know, 1977 01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:06,519 Speaker 40: when we do him sitting the sideline, you know, it 1978 01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:08,639 Speaker 40: felt like you had a chance to score, which was great. 1979 01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:13,400 Speaker 40: It's you know, I think a lot of the coaches 1980 01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:15,519 Speaker 40: have talked about it. Sometimes it's the law of averages. 1981 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,200 Speaker 40: Sometimes if it doesn't go your way, eventually it will 1982 01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:21,280 Speaker 40: And we finally got some this this past week. But 1983 01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:22,960 Speaker 40: that's a huge deal. I got to me, it's one 1984 01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 40: of the number one stats you got to look at us, 1985 01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:26,600 Speaker 40: turnover margin. It's gonna give you the best opportunity and 1986 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,600 Speaker 40: chance to win games if you can take care of 1987 01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:30,760 Speaker 40: the football, and then obviously if you can create some turnovers. 1988 01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,200 Speaker 40: And we've done a good job this year defensively of 1989 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:36,280 Speaker 40: of you know, punching out the ball, creating some fumbles, 1990 01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,840 Speaker 40: you know, and and again we got one Saturday with 1991 01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:42,080 Speaker 40: the with the bad snap, and then you know, getting 1992 01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,640 Speaker 40: the interception was huge in the fourth quarter because you 1993 01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,439 Speaker 40: know that that game was was kind of back and 1994 01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 40: forth in the third and then we are to blow 1995 01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:50,559 Speaker 40: it open in the fourth quarter because of those those mishaps. 1996 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,000 Speaker 41: How much does it help that your pressure rates not 1997 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:56,720 Speaker 41: doesn't jump off the page at you, but your sack 1998 01:43:56,840 --> 01:44:00,320 Speaker 41: rate has been you know, a lot better than the 1999 01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:02,680 Speaker 41: pressure rate, I guess would indicate how much of a 2000 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,920 Speaker 41: help has that been. You haven't been able to force 2001 01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:06,800 Speaker 41: the turnovers at the rate you'd like maybe, but you 2002 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:08,360 Speaker 41: have been able to get to the quarterback. 2003 01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:08,679 Speaker 5: Yeah. 2004 01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 40: Yeah, I mean, you know, we're we're picking and choosing 2005 01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:12,599 Speaker 40: when we're going to get to the quarterback. I mean, 2006 01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:14,680 Speaker 40: there's just a fine line in there where you know, 2007 01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:17,680 Speaker 40: if you bring pressure, you know, if they get get 2008 01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:19,719 Speaker 40: out on you, then it's probably going to the touchdown, 2009 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,680 Speaker 40: you know. So but if you don't, then you can 2010 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,719 Speaker 40: keep everything in front of It's just a fine line, 2011 01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,960 Speaker 40: you know. Obviously we'd love to shut them down every 2012 01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 40: play and get sacks and turnovers. I mean, that's what 2013 01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,720 Speaker 40: in everybody, you know, I think. But you have to 2014 01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 40: be calculated in what you're doing, you know. I thought Saturday, 2015 01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:37,080 Speaker 40: one time we brought a bunch of pressure. The quarterback 2016 01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 40: gets out and he launches one about fifty five yards 2017 01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:40,760 Speaker 40: near and it hitting on the sideline. Was a big 2018 01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,160 Speaker 40: play form great play by the quarterback and receiver. But 2019 01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:46,599 Speaker 40: you know, but we tried to get after him right there. 2020 01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,560 Speaker 40: But other times we've not. We've just rushed three and 2021 01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:51,479 Speaker 40: then have that linebacker spot and we've been able to 2022 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,920 Speaker 40: get some pressure that way. So I do think, you know, 2023 01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:56,320 Speaker 40: we have to continue to mix it up. We do 2024 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:58,120 Speaker 40: have to get some pressure on the quarterback. They can't 2025 01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:00,360 Speaker 40: sit back there all day. I mean, these guys playing, 2026 01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 40: especially the next five quarterbacks we're playing, are really good, 2027 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:06,639 Speaker 40: you know, as we finish out this season. So there'll 2028 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:08,960 Speaker 40: be a big test for us this week playing this offense. 2029 01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,400 Speaker 41: How much different is it going you face the last 2030 01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 41: two quarterbacks or looking to get out of the pocket scramble. 2031 01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 41: Baylor's not really looking to get out of the pocket 2032 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:20,519 Speaker 41: and run around. They're looking to push the thing down 2033 01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 41: the field and make plays. 2034 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:22,760 Speaker 3: Over the top of you. 2035 01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,280 Speaker 41: How much different for your defense is that during the week. 2036 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's a difference for sure. 2037 01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:31,000 Speaker 40: You know, Central Florida's guy could really run, you know, 2038 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:33,080 Speaker 40: and then of course last week this guy could run 2039 01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,799 Speaker 40: as well. So yeah, I mean this quarterback at Bader's 2040 01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:37,160 Speaker 40: looking to throw the ball down the field. They do 2041 01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,640 Speaker 40: get rid of the ball pretty quickly. They have some 2042 01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:42,760 Speaker 40: really good weapons on the outside. So yes, you got 2043 01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,320 Speaker 40: to defend it a little bit different, I think, you know, 2044 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,759 Speaker 40: so defensively, you know, you don't have to worry about 2045 01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,760 Speaker 40: the quarterback taking off and running and getting yards from you. 2046 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:54,679 Speaker 40: But there's different things that we have to worry about, 2047 01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:57,040 Speaker 40: you know, the accuracy that he has, the strong arm 2048 01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 40: that he has, the ability to throw the ball down 2049 01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:02,160 Speaker 40: the field in tight windows, you know where maybe the 2050 01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,040 Speaker 40: last two that couldn't do that. So there's just some 2051 01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,439 Speaker 40: differences that you're gonna have to defend more so than 2052 01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:07,120 Speaker 40: the q run. 2053 01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:12,960 Speaker 3: Baylor's. 2054 01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,760 Speaker 28: You know, they score a lot of points, there's no 2055 01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:19,599 Speaker 28: no qualms about it, but they give up a lot 2056 01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:20,000 Speaker 28: of points. 2057 01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:20,240 Speaker 15: You know. 2058 01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:24,280 Speaker 28: I see their their run defenses, they normally give up 2059 01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:26,240 Speaker 28: close to two hundred yards, like how do you with 2060 01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,439 Speaker 28: you guys is lying, How do you kind of look 2061 01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:30,560 Speaker 28: at that and just say, hey, you know, Saturday, we 2062 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:31,920 Speaker 28: can prosaibly take advantage of that. 2063 01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 40: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm looking at the film 2064 01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,280 Speaker 40: and I see watching their defense, and I think their 2065 01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:42,240 Speaker 40: defense is very good. I'm trying to find the yards 2066 01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:44,680 Speaker 40: that they're giving up because you start watching these cut 2067 01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,519 Speaker 40: ups and it's like they're not really giving up a lot. 2068 01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:47,280 Speaker 15: Doesn't look like to me. 2069 01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,400 Speaker 40: I think they're very sound. I think their d line 2070 01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:52,479 Speaker 40: gets after. I think number zero is a really good player. 2071 01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,960 Speaker 40: I think number eleven there's an outstanding linebacker, all big 2072 01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:56,880 Speaker 40: twelve linebacker. 2073 01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:58,719 Speaker 3: They're athletic in the back. 2074 01:46:58,720 --> 01:46:59,680 Speaker 15: End, you know. 2075 01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:01,360 Speaker 3: But you're right. 2076 01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:03,400 Speaker 40: I mean they have given up some points, you know, 2077 01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:05,880 Speaker 40: but they're in every game. I mean they're they're literally 2078 01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:08,680 Speaker 40: in every game. Like last week, you're watching that game 2079 01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:10,120 Speaker 40: and it was three minutes to go, and every down 2080 01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:12,720 Speaker 40: twenty one, I'm thinking, oh, this game is over. Well 2081 01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:14,600 Speaker 40: TCU fumbles, they pick it up and run it in, 2082 01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:16,479 Speaker 40: they get an on side. I mean, they're really right 2083 01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,479 Speaker 40: back in the game. It's incredible. So, you know, a 2084 01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,640 Speaker 40: league is not never good enough. I don't think to 2085 01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:24,320 Speaker 40: say against against this team, the way they can move 2086 01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 40: the ball, the way they can. 2087 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:30,160 Speaker 3: Score, you know, very scary team for sure, Scott. 2088 01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:34,240 Speaker 42: When you look at your team, does it look like 2089 01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:37,000 Speaker 42: to you with the expectations coming in season from the 2090 01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:39,680 Speaker 42: outside maybe not being as high as what you guys 2091 01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:42,519 Speaker 42: have been performing at, is this team playing with a 2092 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,559 Speaker 42: chip on their shoulder? Are they just playing for each 2093 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,280 Speaker 42: other and seeing, let's see how good we can be? 2094 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:51,240 Speaker 40: Yeah, I think they're absolutely playing a chip on their 2095 01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,880 Speaker 40: shoulder for sure. I think each and every time we 2096 01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:55,559 Speaker 40: go out on the practice field or game field, we've 2097 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 40: got something to prove. And I think that's the way 2098 01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,680 Speaker 40: they're preparing and that's what they're trying to do in 2099 01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:03,479 Speaker 40: the game games, you know, trying to prove something. And 2100 01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 40: I think whenever anytime you have that mentality, then you're 2101 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:08,400 Speaker 40: going to give yourself a chance. 2102 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:10,880 Speaker 3: And I really so we talk about this. 2103 01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:14,000 Speaker 40: Every week and like two we're like numb talking about 2104 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,200 Speaker 40: how it's all about our process. It all about how 2105 01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:18,599 Speaker 40: we prepare, It's how we take care of our bodies 2106 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:22,920 Speaker 40: throughout the week. It's about Tuesdays practices like game game 2107 01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:26,000 Speaker 40: day for us today, you know, so so just toole 2108 01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:27,559 Speaker 40: any things. I think if this team has done. 2109 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 3: A great job of the preparation throughout the week, which 2110 01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,800 Speaker 3: is showing up on game day last year, all right? 2111 01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,720 Speaker 3: That is most of Scott Ciderfield speaking to members of 2112 01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:39,320 Speaker 3: the media earlier this afternoon. How about that Austin Baylor 2113 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 3: number one passing offense in the country. You could have 2114 01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:45,080 Speaker 3: given me a ton of guesses. Guess not guest Baylor 2115 01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:49,880 Speaker 3: would not have guessed Baylor coming into Cincinnati four and three. Uh, 2116 01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,240 Speaker 3: they lost to Auburn, They lost to Arizona State twenty 2117 01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:54,880 Speaker 3: seven to twenty four, and then a forty two to 2118 01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:58,559 Speaker 3: thirty six loss at TCU. Their wins thirty five thirty 2119 01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:00,639 Speaker 3: four of a Kansas State, forty five I twenty seven 2120 01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,680 Speaker 3: over Oklahoma State at the time seventeenth ranked SMU. They 2121 01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:06,800 Speaker 3: beat them forty eight to forty five, so they are 2122 01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,040 Speaker 3: equipped to win in a shootout. U See's defense is 2123 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:11,400 Speaker 3: going to have to be better than what they have 2124 01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,600 Speaker 3: been in recent weeks. But the one resounding thing I 2125 01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:18,160 Speaker 3: take from this team, and I talked about it a 2126 01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:21,760 Speaker 3: little bit on Saturday with Dan. Every team to start 2127 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,960 Speaker 3: the year, they have goals to win a championship, Conference championship. 2128 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:29,120 Speaker 3: Now everyone says it, it's different when you can see 2129 01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:33,920 Speaker 3: a team start to believe it and watching how you 2130 01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 3: see and the players talk, watching how they prepare, watching 2131 01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,320 Speaker 3: how they play. Like, I genuinely feel like this is 2132 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:42,360 Speaker 3: a team that thinks they can go win the Big 2133 01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:46,360 Speaker 3: twelve championship, and that confidence puts them at a level 2134 01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,080 Speaker 3: to where they can go and compete week in and 2135 01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:52,080 Speaker 3: week out. And I view them as doing that. I 2136 01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,040 Speaker 3: genuinely think each game they play they have a great 2137 01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:58,519 Speaker 3: chance to go win it. That starts with Saturday, four 2138 01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:02,479 Speaker 3: o'clock Knifferent Stadium against bel Er. Take a break. 2139 01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:06,160 Speaker 4: I look forward to your comprehensive breakdown of the three 2140 01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:09,040 Speaker 4: three five defense tomorrow.

I'll say one teaser 2144 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:20,519 Speaker 3: about the three three five. Okay, it's a lot easier 2145 01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:22,479 Speaker 3: to be successful with the three three five when Dante 2146 01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:26,679 Speaker 3: Corleon's that dead knows when Dante Corleone is not there 2147 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:29,280 Speaker 3: makes up three three five a little bit more vulnerable, 2148 01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:33,360 Speaker 3: little more barbecue chicken, Little Chicken.

Now let's just 2167 01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:42,240 Speaker 12: don't let's just don't let those hat sizes get any bigger. 2168 01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:44,080 Speaker 3: Okay, you can't get any bigger on this one. 2169 01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:46,160 Speaker 4: Say, Tony's got a huge melon. 2170 01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:50,519 Speaker 12: I never thought of it that big when I was flown, 2171 01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:55,799 Speaker 12: but maybe you did. Oh, it's you've metaphorically speaking. Okay, 2172 01:51:56,240 --> 01:52:01,519 Speaker 12: here we go. So you were talking about Burrow and 2173 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:06,120 Speaker 12: Flacco talking on the sidelights, and I can understand that 2174 01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:10,600 Speaker 12: because Joe Burrow is going to tell him the idiosyncrasies 2175 01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:14,880 Speaker 12: of this offense, you know, all that with with the 2176 01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:19,400 Speaker 12: receivers helping him figure out options. 2177 01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:19,479 Speaker 9: And what have you. 2178 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:24,799 Speaker 12: But let's face it, Joe Blaco could give Joe Burrow 2179 01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:27,560 Speaker 12: a lesson on playing quarterback because he's been doing it 2180 01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:28,400 Speaker 12: twice as long. 2181 01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,840 Speaker 3: I mean he's seen Yeah, he's he's seen stuff because 2182 01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:33,479 Speaker 3: of the time he's been in the league that that 2183 01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:37,040 Speaker 3: few other quarterbacks have seen. So I made the case 2184 01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:40,719 Speaker 3: yesterday with Mo if I'm the Bengals, depending on regardless 2185 01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 3: of what happens going forward, if Joe Flacco is interested 2186 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,479 Speaker 3: in playing football or being around football next year, I 2187 01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:49,920 Speaker 3: could think of no better player to slide in as 2188 01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:52,920 Speaker 3: a backup role than having Joe Flacco in Cincinnati. If 2189 01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:54,200 Speaker 3: it were behind Joe Burrow. 2190 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,000 Speaker 12: Oh that would be awesome. And if Joe keeps, you know, 2191 01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:02,479 Speaker 12: performing Joe Flacco. This is getting hard Burrow and Flaco Jojo. 2192 01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:08,280 Speaker 12: If Blacco keeps going, it's not like Joe Burrow won't 2193 01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:09,719 Speaker 12: be able to get a job back, right. 2194 01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's never It's never going to get to 2195 01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:15,800 Speaker 3: that point. But what it does do, if Flacco can 2196 01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:19,800 Speaker 3: perform the way that people are hoping, it would give 2197 01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:22,080 Speaker 3: a little bit more of an indication or more of 2198 01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,360 Speaker 3: a push to see, Okay, can Burrow really get back 2199 01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:26,640 Speaker 3: this year? Because when Browning was in there, it was 2200 01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:29,439 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even worry about Joe coming back this year. 2201 01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:31,599 Speaker 3: Get to the end of the season if they can 2202 01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,160 Speaker 3: replicate what they were able to do on Thursday. All 2203 01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,800 Speaker 3: of a sudden, the conversation turns to, Okay, is there 2204 01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,160 Speaker 3: a legit possibility that Joe comes back, and if so, 2205 01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:42,240 Speaker 3: what can that look like with with where the team stands. 2206 01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:46,479 Speaker 12: It all depends on that running game, as you guys 2207 01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:49,240 Speaker 12: stress all the time, the running game and the defense. 2208 01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:54,040 Speaker 12: You know, you said you're not quite sold on Sam Darnold, 2209 01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,920 Speaker 12: but I'll tell you right now, I'd take him over 2210 01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:57,559 Speaker 12: Jordan Love. 2211 01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:01,479 Speaker 3: He's shown more consistent and to be honest and love. 2212 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,200 Speaker 3: I just I hate how Darnold finished the year last 2213 01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:06,000 Speaker 3: year because he had so much going and then he 2214 01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 3: just struggled down the stretch in those big games. But 2215 01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:12,000 Speaker 3: I think he's he's surrounded by a good spot in 2216 01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,240 Speaker 3: Sea out of they got a good defense. I like 2217 01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,439 Speaker 3: the coach, And how can you not like what you 2218 01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:18,120 Speaker 3: have in Jackson Smith and Jigba. 2219 01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:21,280 Speaker 12: And the way did Chiefs look now? 2220 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:23,360 Speaker 2: Good luck rest of the Chiefs. 2221 01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:27,200 Speaker 3: Chiefs now most said it yesterday. It felt like the 2222 01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,639 Speaker 3: Chiefs opened the door for others to kind of kick 2223 01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:31,080 Speaker 3: it down, and no one kicked it down. And now 2224 01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:31,760 Speaker 3: the Chiefs are back. 2225 01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:36,280 Speaker 12: The boy, are they ever back? And I'm looking at 2226 01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:38,760 Speaker 12: a rams sheet super Bowl. I think that's what it 2227 01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:39,600 Speaker 12: might end up being. 2228 01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:40,440 Speaker 2: I hope, so hope. 2229 01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:44,360 Speaker 12: So anyway, can I talk a little baseball playoffs? Do 2230 01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:44,800 Speaker 12: you mind? 2231 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:45,360 Speaker 3: Sure? 2232 01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:50,840 Speaker 12: Okay, it's Dodger pitching stamp as they told you they. 2233 01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:52,800 Speaker 9: Finally got healthy and. 2234 01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:57,640 Speaker 12: That little small ball that Toronto plays is really fun 2235 01:54:57,720 --> 01:54:59,720 Speaker 12: and it's and they score runs. They do a good 2236 01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:06,000 Speaker 12: they Guerrero's the power hitter for real. He's been on 2237 01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:09,560 Speaker 12: such a blistering case. I don't see that continuing at 2238 01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:13,400 Speaker 12: four forty two or whatever they always doing. But the 2239 01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,800 Speaker 12: Dodgers starters have a one point four to oher era 2240 01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:24,080 Speaker 12: after the first ten playoff games, and Tasaki, who's normally 2241 01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:28,080 Speaker 12: a starter right as the closer, now his THERA through 2242 01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:31,760 Speaker 12: those first ten games is one point twenty nine. So 2243 01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:37,320 Speaker 12: good good luck Toronto hitting this team. And uh, alright, 2244 01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:41,120 Speaker 12: Toronto's pitching is yeah, it's okay, it's SU's average. That's 2245 01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,880 Speaker 12: about it. So what do you guys think about this 2246 01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:46,240 Speaker 12: upcoming World Series. 2247 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:51,000 Speaker 3: I Toronto's been the best hitting team average wise in 2248 01:55:51,080 --> 01:55:53,000 Speaker 3: the playoffs. They were also the best hitting team throughout 2249 01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,640 Speaker 3: the regular season in Major League Baseball. They hit it 2250 01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:58,680 Speaker 3: two sixty five. Dodgers weren't far behind it at two 2251 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:00,680 Speaker 3: fifty three. It's it is the whole home runs, and 2252 01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:04,920 Speaker 3: there is a significant gap between what Toronto was able 2253 01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:06,720 Speaker 3: to do one hundred and ninety one, which isn't anything 2254 01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,400 Speaker 3: to scoff at. That's eleventh and major league baseball. But 2255 01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:11,680 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, they just changed the game with the home 2256 01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:13,760 Speaker 3: run ball. I think I think an interesting factor in 2257 01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:16,600 Speaker 3: this series coming up. Bobashett has been out with the 2258 01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,880 Speaker 3: knee injury. If Bobaschet can get out and be anything 2259 01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:21,360 Speaker 3: what he was during the regular season. I think it 2260 01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:25,880 Speaker 3: makes that line up a lot tougher. But again, the 2261 01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:29,040 Speaker 3: star power for me still resides on the Dodgers side, 2262 01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:31,800 Speaker 3: and I would I would lean Dodgers in this series. 2263 01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,440 Speaker 4: Me, it's like, can Vladdie keep up with show Hey, 2264 01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:37,560 Speaker 4: because show Haye is going to do some crazy stuff. 2265 01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:40,760 Speaker 4: He's going to hit some homers. He's the best player 2266 01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 4: on planet Earth. Can Vladdie match his star power with 2267 01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:46,520 Speaker 4: some big moments and some big hits and some big 2268 01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:49,800 Speaker 4: home runs for Toronto as well? So for me, I'm 2269 01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:52,480 Speaker 4: just most excited to see those two guys the stars 2270 01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:55,520 Speaker 4: and see them go ahead to heads both, especially when 2271 01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:56,600 Speaker 4: show haes on the mountain two. 2272 01:56:57,640 --> 01:56:59,960 Speaker 12: You got it, That's That's just what I was doing. 2273 01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:04,720 Speaker 12: The difference between Joey and everybody is he can pitch 2274 01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,320 Speaker 12: as good as anybody. He could win a cy Young 2275 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,560 Speaker 12: if he was just a pitcher. I'm sure of it. 2276 01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:12,920 Speaker 12: I just hope it's a good series, and I hope 2277 01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:14,880 Speaker 12: it goes seven games so we get more and more 2278 01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:17,680 Speaker 12: baseball and can I can I real quick go over 2279 01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,000 Speaker 12: the rest of the Bengals schedule with you? You got 2280 01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:20,960 Speaker 12: another minute. 2281 01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a minute. 2282 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:26,000 Speaker 12: Hell now, I don't know where I put my phone. 2283 01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,520 Speaker 12: I hit it down in my phone. Well you probably 2284 01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:29,120 Speaker 12: have it there. 2285 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:33,000 Speaker 4: Jets, Bears, Steelers are the next three. 2286 01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:37,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, I got them beating the Jets. But the 2287 01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:41,200 Speaker 12: Jets ain't no pushover, like Austin was mentioning, I got 2288 01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:42,320 Speaker 12: them losing to the Bears. 2289 01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:42,960 Speaker 11: The Bears, I. 2290 01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:45,480 Speaker 12: Think are on an uptick and they are dangerous, and 2291 01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,880 Speaker 12: they've got seven or eight guys who may be all 2292 01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:48,760 Speaker 12: pros this year. 2293 01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:56,320 Speaker 4: And then at Pittsburgh home against New England at Baltimore. 2294 01:57:57,320 --> 01:57:59,480 Speaker 12: I don't got them beating the Patriots if they keep 2295 01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:03,040 Speaker 12: on this track they're going, and if if their quarterback 2296 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:04,640 Speaker 12: keeps playing the way he is, that's. 2297 01:58:04,520 --> 01:58:04,880 Speaker 3: Kind of it. 2298 01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,600 Speaker 12: Yeah it is at home though, right it is. Yes, 2299 01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,600 Speaker 12: So that's a blessing. And then we got to play 2300 01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:17,120 Speaker 12: Baltimore twice. But what to make of Baltimore? 2301 01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:17,400 Speaker 5: Do you? 2302 01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:21,320 Speaker 12: Everybody keeps saying they're gonna come on Tony, but in Austin, 2303 01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:23,040 Speaker 12: but I don't just don't see it. 2304 01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:26,440 Speaker 3: Well, this weekend, you'll learn a lot this weekend because 2305 01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,680 Speaker 3: they play the Bears. So something's got to give. Bears 2306 01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:32,160 Speaker 3: have won four in a row. Baltimore is skidding. I 2307 01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,360 Speaker 3: think we get to see how legitimate the Bears are 2308 01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:36,760 Speaker 3: and if the Ravens have any fight left in him 2309 01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:37,240 Speaker 3: on Sunday. 2310 01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:40,520 Speaker 12: Yeah, is Lamar coming back this week? 2311 01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:46,080 Speaker 4: Unclear? He didn't practice yesterday apparently, so uh that doesn't 2312 01:58:46,120 --> 01:58:48,320 Speaker 4: mean that much though, because they're coming off of bye week. 2313 01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:50,920 Speaker 4: But it's unclear still. 2314 01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:54,720 Speaker 3: And No, I think Dolphins, Cardinals, Brown's down the stretch. 2315 01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:57,800 Speaker 3: Arizona has shown flashes, but they just don't make the 2316 01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:00,800 Speaker 3: plays necessary to win big game. Although they've been in 2317 01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:03,520 Speaker 3: a lot of them. I still think they can. They 2318 01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:05,320 Speaker 3: can win those three down the stretch if they're in 2319 01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:06,760 Speaker 3: a position for meaningful football. 2320 01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, let's hope. So, but Arizona, those were any of 2321 01:59:10,880 --> 01:59:13,160 Speaker 12: those last year? That's the one that worries me most. 2322 01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:18,120 Speaker 3: Anyway, Thanks, yes, sir, have a good one. Uh one 2323 01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:21,840 Speaker 3: more here? What's up? JT hey Man? 2324 01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,080 Speaker 22: This time last week I was going to Tony Pike 2325 01:59:25,120 --> 01:59:29,600 Speaker 22: anonymous meetings and my doctor was trying to wean me 2326 01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:34,920 Speaker 22: off Tony Pike. And this week it's like the bar is. 2327 01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,720 Speaker 5: Open bar and I'm here for it. 2328 01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:38,040 Speaker 6: Man. 2329 01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:40,880 Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's go. 2330 01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:42,160 Speaker 9: Question. 2331 01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:47,840 Speaker 22: Yes, and for you guys, phypothetically, if Joe Flacco is 2332 01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,480 Speaker 22: playing elite quarterback and I know this is kind of 2333 01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:55,960 Speaker 22: out there, but indulge me. If the Bengals are eleven 2334 01:59:56,040 --> 02:00:01,040 Speaker 22: and three and Joe Flacco is playing an elite quarterback position, 2335 02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:10,680 Speaker 22: Joe Burrow is healthy, who we play and that circumstance. 2336 02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:15,000 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, Yeah, Joe Burrow. Still it would still be 2337 02:00:15,120 --> 02:00:15,600 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. 2338 02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:20,000 Speaker 22: Great, I like the decisive this yep, right to heave 2339 02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:20,880 Speaker 22: you back, Tony. 2340 02:00:20,680 --> 02:00:21,320 Speaker 3: Thank you, JT. 2341 02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:24,760 Speaker 4: So it could be tough to be eleven and three 2342 02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:28,160 Speaker 4: when you already got four losses. But yeah, Joe Burrow 2343 02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:30,880 Speaker 4: is I think the best quarterback in the NFL and 2344 02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:32,880 Speaker 4: makes it to five million dollars. And just last year, 2345 02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:35,640 Speaker 4: let the NFL in yards and touchdown passes? Uh, for 2346 02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:37,760 Speaker 4: what it's worth. Let us not forget you mentioned the 2347 02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,440 Speaker 4: Bears and the Ravens. Any guess what that spread is 2348 02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:44,600 Speaker 4: this weekend in Baltimore Job Bears. I'm gonna say it's 2349 02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:47,560 Speaker 4: in Baltimore. Yes, I'm gonna say Chicago two and a 2350 02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:51,440 Speaker 4: half Baltimore minus six and a half. I don't get 2351 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:56,880 Speaker 4: that people still love the Ravens that's disrespectful to the 2352 02:00:57,040 --> 02:00:57,840 Speaker 4: Chicago Bear. 2353 02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:01,480 Speaker 3: It is six and a half, is the line. 2354 02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:06,240 Speaker 4: It is disrespectful to the Chicago Bears, who have won 2355 02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:11,640 Speaker 4: four straight games now. They've played the Saints and Cowboys 2356 02:01:11,720 --> 02:01:13,880 Speaker 4: and Raiders among three of those. 2357 02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:19,800 Speaker 3: But still I don't understand six and a half. 2358 02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:23,320 Speaker 4: Chicago is fourteenth in the NFL and passing yards per game, 2359 02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:26,880 Speaker 4: They're tenth in the NFL in scoring offense, They're eighth 2360 02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:29,880 Speaker 4: in the NFL and rushing yards per game, and their 2361 02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:32,840 Speaker 4: defense is not great. They're giving up twenty five a game. 2362 02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:35,720 Speaker 4: That's twenty fifth in the NFL. That's not a bad 2363 02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:41,560 Speaker 4: football team, and Baltimore is worse. So riddle me this, batman. 2364 02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:45,839 Speaker 4: Any guess what the current line is for Bears Bengals 2365 02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:51,080 Speaker 4: the following week. I'm gonna say, keep in mind Baltimore 2366 02:01:51,120 --> 02:01:53,160 Speaker 4: a six and a half point favorite at home. I'm 2367 02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:58,040 Speaker 4: gonna say Bengals three and a half. Bengals plus one 2368 02:01:58,040 --> 02:02:01,360 Speaker 4: and a half, So a slight hole dog, as it 2369 02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:04,680 Speaker 4: tells you how they think about the Bengal exactly. We'll 2370 02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:05,720 Speaker 4: take a break, we'll come back. 2371 02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:07,800 Speaker 3: We've got plenty more still to go between now and 2372 02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,640 Speaker 3: three o'clock on this the Home of the Bengals ESPN 2373 02:02:10,680 --> 02:02:12,280 Speaker 3: fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 2374 02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:17,040 Speaker 6: With Dave Lapham's enshrinement into the Bengals Ring of Honor, 2375 02:02:17,400 --> 02:02:20,760 Speaker 6: we paid tribute to the Life of lap presented by 2376 02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:23,680 Speaker 6: Skyline Feeling good against Skyline Time. 2377 02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,200 Speaker 7: Now Here's Dan and d lap Year, the starting left 2378 02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:30,800 Speaker 7: guard in the bengals first Super Bowl appearance, describe running 2379 02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:33,120 Speaker 7: out of the tunnel to face the forty nine. 2380 02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:34,040 Speaker 3: Ers that day in Detroit. 2381 02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:37,760 Speaker 8: Man, I don't think my feet hit the ground one time.

Sunday kind of boycotted the 2414 02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:24,600 Speaker 4: International Series games just because they kind of pissed me off.

Yeah. 2421 02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:45,920 Speaker 4: The way I view it is you're pushing everybody towards 2422 02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:50,560 Speaker 4: these streaming platforms that you have, whether that be NFL 2423 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:55,280 Speaker 4: Plus or Paramount Plus or Sunday Ticket or YouTube TV 2424 02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:58,720 Speaker 4: or whatever it is. And so people will do that 2425 02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:02,560 Speaker 4: and they get any game anytime, and that's cool, and 2426 02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:04,800 Speaker 4: that's great, and that's how I watch it. I love 2427 02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:07,240 Speaker 4: to watch Red Zone when I'm not watching the Bengals specifically, 2428 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:11,320 Speaker 4: but there are a ton of people that watch the 2429 02:05:11,360 --> 02:05:15,920 Speaker 4: game on TV with the regular package, and because there 2430 02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:19,320 Speaker 4: are fewer games, there are fewer options for them outside 2431 02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:21,960 Speaker 4: of their local team whenever their local team may not 2432 02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:24,280 Speaker 4: be playing or is playing at a different time that 2433 02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:29,000 Speaker 4: they don't really want to watch or have the you know, 2434 02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:33,840 Speaker 4: the not interesting games, and so you're watering. You're making 2435 02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:38,000 Speaker 4: that product, that version of your product less enjoyable to 2436 02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:41,600 Speaker 4: the very common fan. And then when you think about 2437 02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:45,080 Speaker 4: your media partners and your whether it's YouTube or Prime 2438 02:05:45,200 --> 02:05:49,800 Speaker 4: or whomever, like, if you're making so many different games, 2439 02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:54,160 Speaker 4: two games on ESPN, two games in London, whatever like. 2440 02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:57,680 Speaker 4: It makes it waters down that product too, because red 2441 02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:00,000 Speaker 4: zone I'm getting less games. 2442 02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:05,360 Speaker 3: Yep, and I don't like that. This week no international game, 2443 02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:08,840 Speaker 3: Thursday Night football, I think an interesting one. Who do 2444 02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:11,760 Speaker 3: we think the Chargers are? I have no idea. I 2445 02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:14,640 Speaker 3: thought for a while ahead of schedule, I think they're hurt. 2446 02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:20,240 Speaker 3: I thought contending injuries have decimated them. Are the four 2447 02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:22,120 Speaker 3: and three Panthers a thread at all to the Bills? 2448 02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:25,160 Speaker 4: No, I don't think I think the Bills are a 2449 02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:27,520 Speaker 4: thread to the Bills. By the way, in that Thursday 2450 02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:30,640 Speaker 4: Night game, Kevin O'Connell said, Carson Wentz will start, Oh, 2451 02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:36,040 Speaker 4: Max Brosmer will be the backup. JJ McCarthy really went 2452 02:06:36,120 --> 02:06:38,200 Speaker 4: through a workout. Not quite there yet. 2453 02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:41,400 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna be quite there for a while. 2454 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:46,640 Speaker 3: Oh boy. Patriots, Browns Eagles Giants seven and a half. 2455 02:06:47,200 --> 02:06:51,200 Speaker 3: Do the Giants like rally after that meltdown or do 2456 02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:52,960 Speaker 3: they go in the other direction? Is this like a 2457 02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:55,680 Speaker 3: get right game for the Eagles? Yeah, I don't know. 2458 02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:57,440 Speaker 4: If i'd say that, I don't know they'd say it's 2459 02:06:57,440 --> 02:06:59,440 Speaker 4: a get right game. I mean, I think you have 2460 02:06:59,480 --> 02:07:01,160 Speaker 4: to pay a little bit more attention to the to 2461 02:07:01,240 --> 02:07:03,040 Speaker 4: the Giants. I figure the Giants coming a little bit 2462 02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:06,640 Speaker 4: angry based off the way things happened Bears Ravens. 2463 02:07:06,680 --> 02:07:09,400 Speaker 3: We talked about that one already. Uh is there a 2464 02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:12,840 Speaker 3: franchise Austin in the NFL heading more in the wrong 2465 02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:16,160 Speaker 3: direction than the Houston Texans? They were the darlings just 2466 02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:21,640 Speaker 3: a few years ago. They are team like that, that 2467 02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:23,960 Speaker 3: team that was so close that felt like they were 2468 02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:26,680 Speaker 3: on the cusp, and now just moving in the wrong direction. 2469 02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:28,840 Speaker 4: I think Tennessee is moving in the wrong direction. I 2470 02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:31,200 Speaker 4: think Miami is moving in the right yeah direction. 2471 02:07:31,400 --> 02:07:33,040 Speaker 3: Were they at the level of Texans where? I mean 2472 02:07:33,080 --> 02:07:36,280 Speaker 3: that the hype around Stroud, the hype around that team 2473 02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:38,040 Speaker 3: now two and four. 2474 02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:41,280 Speaker 4: Still can't believe they what they did with their coaching 2475 02:07:41,320 --> 02:07:44,120 Speaker 4: staff and their offensive line after that was just stupid moves. 2476 02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,200 Speaker 4: But that guy, what's that guy's name who runs that 2477 02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:49,840 Speaker 4: joint down there? Who's that GM? Nick Cassario, one of 2478 02:07:49,880 --> 02:07:53,120 Speaker 4: those former Patriot guys. Have you noticed the former Patriots 2479 02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:53,680 Speaker 4: are everywhere? 2480 02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:53,960 Speaker 3: Yep? 2481 02:07:54,240 --> 02:08:00,160 Speaker 4: Television analyst rolls Patriots all over the place. Anyways, that 2482 02:08:00,240 --> 02:08:04,200 Speaker 4: guy thinks he's the smartest person in football and see 2483 02:08:04,240 --> 02:08:04,680 Speaker 4: what happens. 2484 02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:05,360 Speaker 21: CJ. 2485 02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:09,240 Speaker 4: Stroud also when he did that thing to Caleb Williams, Yeah, 2486 02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:11,240 Speaker 4: didn't look good. 2487 02:08:11,440 --> 02:08:11,880 Speaker 3: Changed him. 2488 02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:14,640 Speaker 4: I also have seen the screenshot of c J. Stroud's 2489 02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:18,120 Speaker 4: Instagram story from last year, oh going around, where he 2490 02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:20,600 Speaker 4: listed the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Yeah he 2491 02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:21,720 Speaker 4: put himself number three. 2492 02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:25,680 Speaker 3: Yep. Not great there, Siege, you get the Bucks and 2493 02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:28,320 Speaker 3: the Saints, you get the Cowboys and the Broncos, which 2494 02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,640 Speaker 3: I actually think is an interesting one. Titans and Colts. 2495 02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:34,720 Speaker 3: That is a fourteen and a half point spread on 2496 02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:40,040 Speaker 3: Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday Night Football Packers Steelers, 2497 02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:41,839 Speaker 3: Rogers going up against the Packers. 2498 02:08:41,960 --> 02:08:44,480 Speaker 4: How about this? Two stats for you on this game. 2499 02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:50,280 Speaker 4: The Packers have not beaten the Steelers in Pittsburgh since 2500 02:08:50,520 --> 02:08:54,280 Speaker 4: Bart Starr was the quarterback. Wow, how about that? And 2501 02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:59,960 Speaker 4: Steelers are wearing their throwback uniforms which feature a yellow hell. 2502 02:09:01,120 --> 02:09:04,720 Speaker 4: It'll be the first time since I don't know, maybe 2503 02:09:04,760 --> 02:09:07,840 Speaker 4: the sixties. It would be a long long time. I 2504 02:09:07,840 --> 02:09:10,680 Speaker 4: don't remember the exact date that there has been a 2505 02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:16,600 Speaker 4: dual yellow helmet matchup man between those two teams. 2506 02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:17,480 Speaker 3: I think back. 2507 02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:19,760 Speaker 4: It's like the Super Bowl or something a long time ago. 2508 02:09:20,720 --> 02:09:23,640 Speaker 4: These are the little things that I care about. Jaydon 2509 02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:25,160 Speaker 4: Dan talk about soaking it all in. 2510 02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is right there, Jayde and Daniels status 2511 02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:31,200 Speaker 3: for Monday Night football is uncertain. According to Dan quinn, 2512 02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:33,640 Speaker 3: right now, they're a ten and a half point dog 2513 02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:38,120 Speaker 3: against the Chiefs. Disappointed with how the Commanders have started 2514 02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:42,200 Speaker 3: their season, Yeah, disappointed, but I wouldn't say surprised. Injuries 2515 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,640 Speaker 3: have been a part of their downfall as well. Yeah, 2516 02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:46,760 Speaker 3: but this just feels like a game the Chiefs win, 2517 02:09:46,840 --> 02:09:48,480 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, here we are again talking 2518 02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,280 Speaker 3: about the Chiefs of the team to be. 2519 02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:56,520 Speaker 4: So the one o'clock slate Sunday, Miami Atlanta, Cleveland, New England. Okay, 2520 02:09:56,680 --> 02:09:59,800 Speaker 4: that might actually be a good contest, and there's some 2521 02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:04,480 Speaker 4: familiarity there with Mike Vrabel and that defense Giants Eagles. 2522 02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:09,640 Speaker 4: I think those teams are both interesting. Buffalo Carolina, don't care, Chicago, Baltimore, uh, 2523 02:10:10,160 --> 02:10:12,400 Speaker 4: San Francisco, Houston feels like it's going to be the 2524 02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:14,400 Speaker 4: exact same game that Houston just played last night. 2525 02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:14,680 Speaker 3: Yep. 2526 02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:22,040 Speaker 4: Four o'clock slate Tampa, New Orleans, No, thank you, Dallas, Denver, Okay, Tennessee, Indy. No, 2527 02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:24,880 Speaker 4: thank you, and that's it. Yeah, only three in the 2528 02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:28,000 Speaker 4: four o'clock windows because there are six teams on a 2529 02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:32,560 Speaker 4: buy and there's a Thursday and Monday game. But I 2530 02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:34,240 Speaker 4: think it's all gonna be worth it. With Green Bay 2531 02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:37,400 Speaker 4: and Pittsburgh on Sunday night, think big one, a big one. 2532 02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:42,280 Speaker 4: Lowest ticket available this weekend, have you seen it?

There's a 2570 02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:25,520 Speaker 4: couple of things going on the big important people in 2571 02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:28,520 Speaker 4: the National Football League with the media today, people like 2572 02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:33,440 Speaker 4: Jeff Miller, who's an injury guy. What about NFL executive 2573 02:12:33,520 --> 02:12:37,200 Speaker 4: Don Aponte, of course, what about Troy Vincent? 2574 02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:38,200 Speaker 3: Troy, no him. 2575 02:12:38,880 --> 02:12:40,880 Speaker 4: Troy Vincent said that there hasn't been a lot of 2576 02:12:40,960 --> 02:12:45,120 Speaker 4: internal discussion in the NFL about the Tush push, but 2577 02:12:45,480 --> 02:12:48,240 Speaker 4: officials continue to say it's hard to officiate. 2578 02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:52,640 Speaker 3: You see, Minnesota just laid down. 2579 02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:55,400 Speaker 4: I did see that. I thought that was interesting, innovative. 2580 02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:03,120 Speaker 4: The NFL has also talked apparently about playing surfaces okay, 2581 02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:07,680 Speaker 4: and that there's not a significant difference in injury between 2582 02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:12,240 Speaker 4: grass and turf. Now, Albert Brier said that a veteran 2583 02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:15,720 Speaker 4: reporter once told him that numbers are like hostages. You 2584 02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:19,080 Speaker 4: can make them say whatever you want. Oh, so that's 2585 02:13:19,120 --> 02:13:21,760 Speaker 4: something to keep an eye out on if that's true. 2586 02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:23,640 Speaker 3: So okay. 2587 02:13:24,360 --> 02:13:27,560 Speaker 4: NFL injury guy Jeff Miller said they've had two concussions 2588 02:13:27,680 --> 02:13:33,440 Speaker 4: and no ACL injuries on kick returns this year, okay, 2589 02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:35,839 Speaker 4: and the concussion rate is much lower than they expected. 2590 02:13:36,360 --> 02:13:41,160 Speaker 3: Been a talkbacker today that threw out the Cincinnati sports 2591 02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:44,760 Speaker 3: parlay over the weekend, and I answered that I would 2592 02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:49,280 Speaker 3: be most apprehensive, just because I know what the rivalry 2593 02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:52,920 Speaker 3: is in FC Cincinnati against Columbus. How would you have. 2594 02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:55,440 Speaker 4: Answered most apprehensive? 2595 02:13:55,640 --> 02:14:01,200 Speaker 3: Which of these three Bearcats, Baylor, Bengals, Jets, FC Cincinnati 2596 02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:01,760 Speaker 3: and Columbus. 2597 02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:04,960 Speaker 4: I would have the most confidence in FC Cincinnati, Now 2598 02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:10,000 Speaker 4: I would have it would go f C Cincinnati most 2599 02:14:10,040 --> 02:14:15,200 Speaker 4: confident and then Bearcats. But I do you know that 2600 02:14:15,320 --> 02:14:18,720 Speaker 4: offense and the Bearcat defense. Yes, that worries me. It's 2601 02:14:18,720 --> 02:14:20,960 Speaker 4: a little bit fair. And then I have the least 2602 02:14:20,960 --> 02:14:24,520 Speaker 4: confidence in the Bengals. Okay, that's fair because they have 2603 02:14:24,640 --> 02:14:27,560 Speaker 4: not earned my confidence yet this year. I'm thrilled with 2604 02:14:27,640 --> 02:14:30,280 Speaker 4: what happened Thursday, but they haven't earned my confidence yet. 2605 02:14:30,320 --> 02:14:33,680 Speaker 4: This Yep, that makes sense, Bob. Yeah, I think I'm 2606 02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:35,360 Speaker 4: picking up what you're putting down. Do you know who 2607 02:14:35,560 --> 02:14:36,320 Speaker 4: Justin Vive is? 2608 02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:40,800 Speaker 3: No, who's he? That's all right?
