1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Oh of emotions for the fans as the week unfolded. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Let's sort it out with my next guest. After watching 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony last night, colob or another home run, he 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: probably has visions of yeas and uh Ted Williams dancing 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: in his head. As we welcome in from Bengals dot Com, 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: Jeff Hobson, how are you. 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: Well? Thank you very much. I'll just take Fred Lynne 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: And I must say I was a little nervous, of course, 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: A crossing my fingers. Nobody got hurt? What lock? It 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: looked like what Locke get out of their okay, and 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: it looks like Roman's Okay, and hopefully they get out 12 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 2: of the championship game. 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: Okay, no doubt, no doubt. All right, let's work our 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: way through what began to transpire a week ago today. 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: Brian Cook. I keep saying it to everybody I've talked 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: to about him. He checked so many boxes for this 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: football team, it seemed, from position need to production to 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl rings. He seems to be able to 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: contribute a lot to this team. 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean in the grew up next door college 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: hill throwing that now in the University of Cincinnati. Guy, 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: he was he was kind of surprised. I told him 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: he's only the sixth guy in the history of the 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: Bengals who played in Greater Cincinnati and also played at 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati. So that's a you know, that's 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: a that's a that's a proud list to be on. 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: And I think that you know, I mean, you said 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: it best. I mean this guy. Uh. Also, you know, 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean the big thing is he's a he's a 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: great tackler, you know, I mean, the guy's missed nine 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: tackles in the last two years, and we know the 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: problems this team has had with that. So uh and 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: then you go from there, and I think they like 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: the fact that is, you know, he's played in so 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: many big games in Kansas City and that you know, 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: they're looking for leadership. Duke Dolben was pretty adamant about that. 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: That's one of the first things he uttered after the 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: season was we need leadership in that room. To hear 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: a guy walks in with two Super Bowl rings and uh, 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: you know, I think enough set. 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: We talked so much over the last year or so 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: about the need to add some juice pass rush wise, 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: and boy, what what boy A Mafey did in Seattle 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and maybe now a chance to become a little unleashed 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: getting out of that system. Over the last couple of years. 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: The sense, my my sense is the Bengals are really 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: excited about what he could bring. 48 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: You know, I think, you know, there's a little bit 49 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: of similarities with Trey Hendrickson in a sense. Now, when 50 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: Tray came over from the Walls, he was coming off 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: a career year. He was unbelievable his career year at 52 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half sacks his last year in the Warleans. 53 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: But they had a career year two years. You know, 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: his second year in the league, he had nine sacks 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: and uh then uh then came Mike McDonald. The scheme 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: changed a little bit, and so I think they feel 57 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: like they're catching lightning in a bottle here. They got 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: one of the they got, you know, they got one 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: of the best safeties in free agency, and they get 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: and they feel like they got one of the best 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: young pass rushers that was available. I mean, they just 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: looked at the tape from those first couple of years 63 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: and you know, they feel like this is a guy 64 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: that the classic guy that they're looking for, Like Trey 65 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: was coming out in the walls, a guy who's in 66 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: his sending player, and you know he's got the best, 67 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: he's got the best years in from them. 68 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Hopson checking in Bengals dot Com. They get the 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: extension done with the Orlando Brown junior and that extends 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: the cohesiveness for that line that really seemed to settle 71 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: in the last junk of the season. 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: Jeff, Yeah, I think there was nobody will uh, nobody 73 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: will argue that that was the best that an offensive 74 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: line has played for Zach Taylor. And one of the reasons, uh, 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: it was the best offensive line in seven seats in 76 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: seven seasons. There was you know, you didn't need a 77 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: score guide to figure out who these guys were. You know, 78 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: there was no revolving deal at right tackle. Uh, there 79 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: was you know, uh, Orlando was healthy all year and 80 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: they and you know, you didn't have the you know, 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: there was the rookie guard with Volston for four years 82 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: that they they went through and then they went again 83 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: with the rookie left guard fair Child. He's got another 84 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: year under his belt. They really like how he you know, 85 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: they really like how he played. He was they felt 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: like he was the you know, the strong anchors type 87 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: of guy that they that they needed there and so 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: all you know, I think the first time, I probably 89 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: the first time since Zach's been here that you know, 90 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: you follow up a line that played most of the 91 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: season and it comes in into play the next year too. 92 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: And so they were only getting better as the season 93 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: went on, and I would you know, that's what they're 94 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 2: banking on with Orlando coming back, but they you know 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: that they can keep that thing going. 96 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: We talked about pressure on the outside with Boy and MafA. 97 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: You can always use pressure and getting in the face 98 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: of a quarterback, and Jonathan Allen seems to be able 99 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: to offer him that. 100 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, they really I mean, you know, 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 2: as good as bj Hill has been down through the years, 102 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 2: and he's he's been pretty he's been pretty solid, but 103 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: I mean this guy, Jonathan Allen brings juice of you 104 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: know that they haven't seen around here, probably says Geno Atkins. 105 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: I'm not saying the guy's Geno Atkins, but he's an 106 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: upper echelon interior rusher and I think you know, he 107 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: played he played a lot of snaps last year when 108 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: he played like eight hundred straps at age thirty and 109 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: so he and I think they feel like he's in 110 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: a system now that fits him more than it's in 111 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: a Minnesota. They you know, if they can give, they 112 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: can divvy up those sacks between DJ and Allen. And 113 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: now suddenly it's kind of a different look there. And 114 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: I think BJ, you know, people, this is uh, you 115 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: know he I mean, I don't even know if he 116 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: should have played last year. I mean, he heard his ankle, 117 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: you know, severely and in the spring, didn't really start 118 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: playing until you know, late in training camp, and so 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: it was definitely bothering them. So I think, you know, 120 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 2: another year out of the you know, rehabbing and getting 121 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: over that. I think I think having him and Allen 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: and I think DJ will get revived with Allen so 123 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: and especially now that he's got a year, you know, 124 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: he's got a year to the good after that injury. 125 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: I I you know, I think they're gonna look there. 126 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: That makes them look a lot different in there. 127 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: In the middle, they had another They had a quarterback 128 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: in Josh Johnson, the Josh Johnson Marry go around stops 129 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati again, Jeffy. Any sense does that preclude them 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: from also bringing back Joe Flacco? Or any any feel 131 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: there now. 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think they're still looking at Flacco and 133 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: I think Flacco is probably still looking at them too. 134 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: And you said it very well. You know this, you know, 135 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: this merry go around, the musical chairs and the music 136 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: starting new slow. You know, Tyler Murray goes to Minnesota. 137 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: You know, you've got Willis th into Miami. You know, Uh, 138 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: Dustin Fields has created just get traded to Kansas City. 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: He'll probably play for a month, right if you know, 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: as the home comes as the Holmes comes back. So 141 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: there's you know, but I mean if you're flack though, 142 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: there's obviously not a you know, there's not a lot 143 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: of incentive, you know, to get something done right. You know, 144 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: something done right now, you know, because of you know 145 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: the end, you know how this thing evolves. But they've 146 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: got their eyes on each other, there's no question. And 147 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: it's good. While all that is going on and the 148 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: dancing school going on, you you know, you're bringing a 149 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: guy that uh you know, uh has been in every 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: system imaginable. I mean, you know, you talk about teaching 151 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: them the playbook. I think he talked. I think he 152 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: mentioned about forty five minutes with Brad crag sawp. That's 153 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: probably all it means, because you know, Zach's Donna, Zak 154 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: and Pitcher and Brad and these guys have done a 155 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: great job piecing together you know, so many different ideas 156 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: from offenses from around the league that you know that 157 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: Josh as Josh has you know, seen it all. So 158 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: you know that helps when you put a guy in 159 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: there like that. And I think that they saw how 160 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: Borrow responded with a veteran in there, and now you 161 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: get another guy and on May fifteenth, the Bengals maybe 162 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: the first team in history to have two forty year 163 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: old quarterbacks in the same roster if if indeed Flacco signs. 164 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know. So considering all that they've done 165 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: to this point, would what would linebacker be the most 166 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: obvious hole still to address in some way, shape or form. 167 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I think that's a position that 168 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: I'm looking at. Look, my favorite Bengals team of all time, 169 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, had a lot of first round 170 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: corners on that team. So they've got two really good 171 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: corners and Dak Sill and DJ Turner. They could probably 172 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: use a third, you know there at some point. But 173 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: I think you know, color linebacker. I think that's something 174 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: that they're probably looking at. And I and I you 175 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: know this, uh, this thing has just started. It's amazing 176 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: whence how free agency has evolved. Yes, free agency used 177 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: to last you know, free agency used to last like 178 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: two and a half weeks when it was really you know, 179 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: every day back and now it's over in about four days. 180 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: But there's twenty a time left, uh to address the 181 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: you know, to address these things. There's there's the draft. 182 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: There's gonna be moves made after the draft, and there's 183 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 2: gonna be moves made after OTAs before training camp. So 184 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: you know, one of the best, one of the best 185 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: deals I ever made. The half Moore mentioned. DJ Hill 186 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: arrived you know, about eight days before the opener in 187 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: the trade. So you know, I think it's uh, I know, everybody, 188 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's really uh, you know, you get so 189 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: used to say, well that's it, this is it. Now 190 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: it's really just kind of starting. 191 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: There is a very special event coming up, a golf 192 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: event coming up made the fifteenth, that legendary run golf course. 193 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: It is close to your heart, the heart of your family. Collectively, 194 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: tell everybody about it. 195 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Lance, I appreciate it.

It's in remembrance of my grandson who 199 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: passed away the year the Bengals went to the Super Bowl. 200 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: Jack was born with transposition of the adteries of the 201 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: major adteries, meaning they were switched, and he passed away 202 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: after twenty nine days. Named after Jackie Robinson. And that's 203 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: that's how we fought it. And nobody, the good people 204 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati.

And what do you think about the opener? Lance? 234 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 2: The reds look the Red scanmy because they can. They 235 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: can run, and they can and they can put the 236 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: ball in play. 237 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: A little shaky on opening day starter Andrew Abbott two 238 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: innings today, eight runs. He seemingly hasn't kicked it into 239 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: gear yet. But there's still time, as they say, there's 240 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: still time. 241 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was hoping he had saved that for the opener. 242 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: I guess I guess not.
