Live from the 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.240 Holy Grail with Moeger and Tony Pike. I'm ken Brew 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:34.040 and what began with great hope ends with great anticipation 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.320 as to what may happen in the off season. But 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.720 in between then and now stand the Cleveland Browns, the 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.160 dreaded Cleveland Browns, or so in Cleveland probably than here. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.440 But nevertheless, the Cleveland Browns are in town today to 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.280 take on the Bengals as the season ends in Tony. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.800 I know, if there was an air of depression that 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.119 hovered over anyone driving downtown today, it was hovering over 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.080 you knowing what might have been and accept what has been. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.400 Yeah, multiple years now, I'm wondering what might have been 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.680 if the Bengals could be playing meaningful football at the 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:09.600 start of January. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:10.240 It's another year. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.080 As you mentioned, what if you know, what if the 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.480 defense didn't play at the level of the worst defense 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.440 in the National Football League history for much of. 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.360 The first half of the year. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.520 What if the offense was able to stay together, What 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.240 if the core group was able to play more with 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.960 Joe Burrow, jamar Chas and t Higgins. But really, the 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.440 thought today is not doing enough. You know that this 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.480 team did not do enough in between last year and 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.280 this year, and that's why we're up here again today 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.360 talking about our final show as the regular season comes 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:41.400 to an end for the Bengals. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:42.680 Hovering is that the word? 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.720 Okay, it's always been hovering for me. But that's okay, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.680 We'll we'll work that out, Joe, We'll work that out. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.480 Some people say hoovering, hoovering, jj hoovering it. It is 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.000 a disappointment of epic proportions that in what are supposed 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.640 to be the prime years of Joe Burrow, it's three 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.120 straight years of not making the postseason. You know, three 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.520 years ago it was well, Joe got hurt, valiant effort 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.920 at the end, Jake Browning, they finished with more wins 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.959 and losses. Okay, last year to me one of the 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.280 biggest organizational failures in all of Cincinnati sports. To have 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.360 an MVP caliber season from Joe and he don't even 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.439 make the postseason. And then this year similar vibe, where yes, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.199 Joe got hurt, but so many games that you look 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.079 back and go, boy, if that would have gone different, 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.160 So many games he looked back and go, boy, if 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.320 they would have made one play, perhaps the outcome would 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.800 be different. And maybe at the very least we're talking 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.640 about a game today that matters. Instead they're merely playing 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:40.160 out the string. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.160 Well, you could thank the Jets, and you can thank 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.160 the Bears, and he could thank a defense that was 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:49.160 wildly overrated coming into this season, But that doesn't determine 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.000 the fact that there have been bright spots. And I 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.920 don't want to dwell on that because we know the 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.120 overarching theme is what you just said, Mo, It's just 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.920 been a wasted effort. Everybody says, well, the windows open 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.959 as long as Joe Burrow is the quarterback. Well, we 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.240 know that narrative really isn't true. But we celebrated the 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.520 bright spots last year. As Moe just mentioned, it was 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.960 Joe Burrow nearly having a MVP year, as Jamar Chase 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.880 won the triple Crown, Trey Hendrickson led the NFL in Sacks. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.640 There were plenty of bright spots to celebrate, but those 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.360 bright spots I think allowed some of the organization to say, Okay, 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.760 we're closer than what a lot of people think. We 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.359 don't need to make anything drastic happen in the offseason. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.200 That can't happen anymore. Like if there's anything that comes 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.000 from this year, and again, we've talked about the psychoanalysis 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.400 of Joe Burrow a lot this year. You could talk 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.000 about Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase earlier this week and 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.200 what they were saying about. Obviously, changes have to be 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.120 made and dig into that with what you will, but this, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.200 if anything, this year has to be the jumping off 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.760 point at something's got to change, because if you just 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.880 again it, I think the biggest. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.360 Fear of people playing out the string is that they 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.480 win a couple of games down the stretch and then 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.640 you start to convince yourself that maybe you're not as 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.520 far off as you think. This team's far off. This 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.720 team has a ton that they need to do in 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.200 the offseason. And yes, the last couple of weeks have 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.360 been nice because Miles Murphy's played good football, and you've 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.400 got to see more of DJ Turner, and you get 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.480 to see more of these pieces, and Chase Brown has 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:20.040 stood out, but this cannot overshadow what the bigger problem 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.520 this year has been, and that is a. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.679 Roster that is nowhere close. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.480 If you watch any football yesterday or any football in 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.760 the last week or so, the Seattle Seahawks are playing 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.840 a different brand of football than the Bengals are right now. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.840 You watch much of the year the San Francisco forty 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.800 nine ers, that's a different brand of offense than what 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.440 the Bengals play with. And those teams have also gone 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.000 through injuries this year. Those guys, they also have major 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.599 players that are out. So this has to be the 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.640 jumping off point of major, major overhaul after today. 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.000 Yeah, and you know, you're right. There have been some 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.880 bright spots here toward the end of the season. You 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.240 mentioned a couple, you know, Miles Murphy's played really well 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.080 and DJ turn has had a Pro Bowl caliber season, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.040 and there have been tiny improvements offensively, and they have 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:10.679 a pretty good offensive line. But they ignored the obvious 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.720 last year, right the last year their defense was so 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.520 bad that Joe Burrow was arguably the best quarterback in 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.959 the sport had a season that was deserving of an 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.320 MVP award and they didn't make the postseason. And what 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.240 a Duke and company do nothing? So maybe they don't 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.280 do nothing this offseason. Maybe they get to work fix 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.680 this defense, make it better, put the team in a 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.120 better position to legitimately compete for a championship. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.439 But if you've ignored the. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.000 Obvious once, why should I assume you're not going to 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:40.559 do it again? 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:41.760 And that's the fear. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.920 Like you watched this team over the last couple of weeks, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.520 I think so many fans wanted to wrap their arms 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:51.440 around good performances, but you can't because in this franchise's history, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.200 both recent and going back decades, there is a track 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.960 record of late season success impairing judgment once the offseason 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.800 gets here. And if you don't believe me, go back 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.040 and look at the eight months that preceded this disaster 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:06.640 of a season. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.440 It's Duke and company in charge, because here's the question. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.880 The most famous quote about the Bengals to come out 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.480 of the combine was I don't want to pay more 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.920 money this year for the same team I had last year. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.280 And what did they do? They paid more money for 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.080 the same team they had last year. So there's question one. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.480 Question two. Do we anticipate that the Bengals are going 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:32.559 to go out and become wildly spending free agency? No, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.160 they're not. Are we to expect that the people that 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.120 have evaluated draft talent in years past are suddenly going 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.960 to have a light go on and say, oh my, yes, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.240 it's all working for us now? And thirdly, are we 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:50.200 to expect that your head coach and your alleged general 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.760 manager are going to be gone after the end of 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.360 this game? And the answer is no. It's about changing 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.600 the way you go about doing the business, and I 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.840 just don't sense they're going to do that very fair. 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.240 I don't think they have to spend wildly in free agency. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.440 I think they have to spend smartly. They need starting 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.120 caliber players. Now, are they gonna be able to, you know, 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.040 do what they did in twenty twenty, which was just overpay. Look, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.600 they were accused of overpaying for DJ Reader, but they 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.439 had to and they had the resources too, and some 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.080 even said they overpaid for Trey Hendrickson. That worked out, 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.760 but they had to. They don't need to spend wildly, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.560 they just need to spend efficiently. Yep, and I think 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.160 there's a way to do that. You know, I roll 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.800 my eyes whenever I hear anybody say, boy, they just 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.320 need a league average defense, But there is some truth 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.240 to that. Now you need a better than league average 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.760 defense in the fourth quarter. To me, the litmus test 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.680 is this, and I think Tony, you and I talked 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.320 about this. The litmus test is what do they do 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.640 at linebacker? Because if it's you know, we ran Barrett 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.480 Carter and Demetrious Night out there, players we drafted and 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.920 we think they're gonna benefit from experience, who miss me 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.480 with that? If it's you know what, those guys could 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.160 be a part of the team. But in this lineback 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:04.000 emphasized defense with Al Golden. We need dudes who can cover, 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.480 We need dudes who can tackle. We need guys who 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.960 aren't the two lowest rated players at their position according 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.840 to Pro Football Focus. We have to get starting caliber 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:18.040 players at that position. I fully believe they'll address safety. 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.440 There's no chance in hell Ginostone is going to be 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.640 here next year. Golden's liked what he's seen from I 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.640 fully believe they'll address the defensive line. They'll find a 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.440 three technique, maybe an edge Rusher. What I want to 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.440 know is did they look at those two rookie linebackers 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.560 this year and go, you know what, run it back 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.200 within this year. If the answer is no, then that 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.640 to me is a proactive officer. That's That's what the 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.360 answer is. Yes, it's same old Bengals, and then you 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:42.520 expect the same results. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.160 Here's what they did in free agency last year. Huh 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:53.240 TJ Slayton orn Burks, Lucas Patrick. Finally they got in 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.320 Dalton Reisner. They got somebody that could quit himself well 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.720 at the position. I mean, there's that was almost out 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.840 of this necessity and dose of injuries. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.200 And there is another litmus test. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.720 Give me point. My point being, you don't have to 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.320 go out and grab a guy at twelve oh one 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.120 am on the day free agency starts, or four o'clock 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.440 in the afternoon, whatever it may be. You have to 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.920 do due diligence. And the guys they brought in are 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.680 just not difference maker. Who was the last difference maker 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:26.560 they brought in in free agency was whore Hendricks Hendrickson, Okay, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.000 how many years ago is that? Five? 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:28.400 Yeah? 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:29.880 Okay, case closed. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.720 I think that the biggest part about it is is 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.400 there was probably a window in this organization the past 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.320 couple of years where you thought, Okay, we can draft 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.280 and develop some talent. They failed in those areas and 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.080 they've not developed the talent. So your your view and 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.920 your approach to an offseason has to be completely different. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.240 Maybe at the draft, instead of talking about numbers, well, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.920 look at the testing numbers of this player, Maybe talk 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.720 about what the player actually did in college. Maybe talk 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.840 about the impact. How many tackles as this player had, 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.800 how many mistackles. Okay, maybe he's a half step slow, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.560 but guess what, there's a guy that's gonna be a 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.320 first Battle Hall of Famer in Louke Keigley. That was 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:12.200 probably a half step slow, but just he knew the game, 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.760 but he produced at every level. So this whole thought 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.119 of oh John Ross, what how fast he is? Samar Stewart, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.280 look at these testing numbers. They sell that and then 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.800 say we'll just develop these guys. You're now at the 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.480 point of Joe Burrow's career, or you can't risk developing 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.840 guys anymore. You've got to get day one players on 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.159 the field, whether that's proven guys in free agency or 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.800 whether that's the most NFL ready guys in the draft, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.120 not who you think you could turn into an NFL guy, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.199 but the guy that's gonna come in day one and 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.000 you can plug him in and he's gonna be a 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:47.639 difference maker. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.560 This is not a developmental league anymore. It's not it's 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.400 a cheap labor league. It's about stars, and the Bengals 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.879 have stars, and you pay them, and then it's about 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:01.000 getting immediate dividends from cheap labor to developmental players. Are 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.800 Andre Yoshavas That sounds like a knock on Andre Andre 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.639 was a very good sixth round pick, But he's a 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.520 supplemental Guy's a complimentary player. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.520 You need dudes who in year one. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.960 And Duke Tobin said this, this is what was so 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.840 frustrating about this year's draft. Duke Tobin back at the 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.240 combine said, we need guys and are going to get 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.040 guys who can help now. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:22.040 And then you take. 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.600 Jamar Stewart, who looked like a project and you know, 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.119 his rookie season a wash for some reasons beyond his control. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:29.439 I don't like. 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.520 You can look at the three at the twenty twenty 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.000 three draft class and conclude, boy, there's a lot of 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.080 guys that you want to be on the. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.080 Team in twenty twenty six. 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.440 You can't have though three years go by before you feel. 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.280 Good about a class, right. 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:42.880 You need to look back at the end of every 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.959 season ago we had two or three players that stepped 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.240 in and made an immediate impact, and that hasn't happened 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:50.879 here in a very long time. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.240 Twenty twenty Burrow, Higgins, Logan Wilson pretty good. Top of 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.879 the draft. Yeah. After that, the Keem Davis Gaither, well, 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.800 he's still in the leg, Khalil Kareem Khalik whatever his 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:07.439 name is. Haquina Dentergy, Aiquina Dentagy, My god, Marcus Bailey 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.520 game sixty games. But I mean the bottom of that 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.400 draft not good. Top of the draft in uh, where 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.800 are we? Let's go top of the draft twenty twenty four. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:22.000 Mamarius Mims good player, yeah, Chris Jenkins No, no, nope, 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.119 Jermaine Burton, nope, McKinley Jackson, why not here already? 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:26.280 No? 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.200 Eric All don't know nothing but hurt, nothing but hurt. 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.600 So I mean, you've got you've got to focus, and 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.639 this plays off your point zone. You kind of focus, 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.320 just not what you see on tape and say, yeah, 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.560 I can mold him into this. Yeah, what kind of 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.800 player is he when everything goes south in the game? 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.760 Is he a leader? Is he somebody that makes the 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.440 situation worse? We kind of a guy is he when 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.720 he misses a tackle? Does he come back dedicated to 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.120 make that tackle the next time? And that only comes 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.120 from deep due diligence. I don't know if they've got 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:56.200 the personnel to do those things. 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.040 Well, there's gonna be one playing Sunday night to night 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.520 in Jack Sawyer, who a lot of IT teams. 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.400 He's just too slow playing well. 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.800 He plays good football, and every time you turn on 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.160 an Ohio State game, he made a play. There's something 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.600 to be said about that. We do so much draft 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.399 coverage now we get exhausted with these names. There are 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.000 names that I remember talking about a lot. John Campbell 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.800 talked about a ton position of need. He's one of 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.280 the best rookies in football right now for the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:25.639 If you watched last weekend the Falcons game, Xavier Watts 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.800 is a player we talked nauseum abouts in Cincinnati. Why 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.000 because he was with Al Golden at Notre Dame. But 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.040 what I kept hearing he's just a little bit slow. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.680 I don't know you can make the jump to the 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.639 next level at two interceptions on probably the league MVP 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.880 last weekend and playing better football. Meanwhile, we're still kind 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.440 of wondering at Perret Carter, Demetrious Night. 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:47.639 Did they hit on those guys. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.919 You'd like to think they hit on Fairchild, but nothing 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.200 is for sure. And at so many positions of need, 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.480 there's only so many free agents you'll be able to sign. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.160 And who made the decision right back then to think 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.159 that those two guys could play together at an NFL 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.760 level and you're fine at linebacker. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:09.879 Well, and you you can't ignore large almost impossible to 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.480 ignore red flags like the ones that existed with Jermaine Burton. Look, 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.680 I hope Jermaine Burton gets his life together, but when 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.359 on draft night one of his former college coaches is 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.480 on TV going, I don't know, man, Like, there's got 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.359 to be somebody in the room that goes, hey, look, 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.600 instead of taking this guy who has work ethic problems 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.280 commitment problems might not be from a professional standpoint, what 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.320 we want instead of that guy, here's this guy, And 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.440 you know what, maybe this guy's a tick slower. 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:42.560 Go back and look at the reaction. Yes of Zach Taylor. Yes, 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:44.200 they're so excited. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.240 Yeah, So there has to be somebody in the room 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.000 that goes, Zach, I know you like this guy, but 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.880 my intel says he may not be from a maturity standpoint, 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.000 what we want. But I've got this guy over here, 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.760 and you know, athletically, maybe he doesn't fit the same profile, 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:01.840 but we can count on him and he can show 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:03.960 up to work on time, and he's gonna fit with 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.320 Joe and in this offense, we can carve that a 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.560 role for him. Instead, it's a waste to pick, and 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.880 you're going in the next year still wondering to a degree, 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.119 who's gonna be the number three wide receiver. I wonder 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.119 if they have enough people or enough qualified people in 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.240 the room to go, hey, instead of Shamar Stewart. We 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.919 know you like him, but here's a guy, Donovan as 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.119 a rock who from Boston College who stood out to me. 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.760 Maybe not quite as big, maybe not quite as physically impressive, 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:32.760 but man, when you watch the tape, here's what he does. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:34.960 He won, right, he wins, and he gets to the 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.520 quarterback they got out maneuvered on draft Day I think 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.960 they I think they were like, oh, I don't ask 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.159 me if I have any evidence of this happened. I 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:45.640 think they wanted Walter Nolan, yes, and they got They 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.040 got out maneuvered on Draft Day, much as they got 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.600 out on Draft Day when they wound up with Billy Price. 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:54.040 Like, you can't just shrug your shoulders and go, well, 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:58.119 we didn't get the guy we wanted. Okay, most times 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.040 you're not going to Oftentimes you're not to what's next. 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:02.720 So if you wanted Walter Nolan that much, you know 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:04.639 what you should have done put yourself in a position 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:05.080 to take them. 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.720 But they got sucked into the same thing with with 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.640 with Jamar Stewart as they did with Burton. Burton, remember, 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.800 was going to replace t Higgins, a cheaper version of 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:16.240 Tea Stuart was going to be a cheaper version of 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.920 Trey Hendrickson. You're not always the smartest guy in the room. 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.480 You're not always just be high Miles Murphy, right, that 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.560 was gonna Benrison. 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.520 Better to keep the guy you got that you know, 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.480 is a known quantity than well. Anyway, we got to 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.399 take a break. We're live from the Holy Grail. I 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.920 think they'll have a decent crowd there today. I would hope. 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:36.560 You know, it's the last game of the season. If 0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.280 you want to keep hope alive, the flicker of that 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.000 candle has to begin at some point. Why not let 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:42.520 that flicker. 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:46.440 Positioning is at stake today, I meant, records are at stake. 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:50.359 I can hear it now. Three straight wins, right. 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.560 Don't rock, don't rock the ship too. We are fine 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:55.600 than people think we're Okay. 0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.520 They've already announced their ticket price increase, so they can't 0:23:58.560 --> 0:23:59.800 do that at the end of the game today. 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.440 So right, there's they're close. I can hear it now, 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:10.280 Brown's Cardinals, Miami.

I think with Joe it's urgency. 0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:24.359 I cannot imagine he looked at last season then look, 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.120 they did what he wanted with t Higgins. I cannot 0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:29.200 imagine that Joe looked at last season and thought, you 0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:31.080 know what we're acting with urgency? 0:41:31.320 --> 0:41:32.520 That to me is the word here. 0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:36.120 It's cliche if you want to say, but it's understanding 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.040 what you have. The windows should be open. You have 0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:40.279 an a list or a quarterback. The AFC was turned 0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.520 on its head this year. The division, the other teams 0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.160 in the division have major questions. 0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:45.520 We need to seize. 0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:47.799 We can't sit back and wait for guys who haven't 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:50.319 performed to see if they're gonna get better. There's gotta 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.960 be a sense of urgency that has been lacking for 0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:53.759 a long time. 0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:55.960 I think he's talking about one side of the football. 0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:57.920 I don't think he's talking about his side of the football. 0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:00.960 No, no, And to me, that's what's so frustrat right. Like, 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:05.719 if you're Duke Tobin or Mike Brown. There are eighteen 0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:10.040 teams that's starting tomorrow their offseason begins. How many of 0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:13.880 those personnel people have what the Bengals have, which is 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:15.839 a side of the ball that you don't need to 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:18.879 touch exactly. They need to bring back Dalton Reisner. They 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:23.360 can find some offensive line depth, maybe third wide receiver, 0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.480 but you could leave that side of the football alone 0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:28.399 and feel like we're good and so to me, that 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:30.480 is what's so frustrating. This isn't a team where you 0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:33.160 look at the entire roster and go gotta start from scratch. 0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:34.759 It's not a team that you don't know who the 0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.040 quarterback is going to be. You're not in quarterback purgatory 0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:41.239 like so many teams are. You're good over here, and 0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:44.400 yet you've wasted it again because you can't even figure 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:46.840 out the basics on the other side of the football. 0:42:47.280 --> 0:42:50.200 Yeah, I think it along with that urgency, what has 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:52.600 Joe done for this team down the stretch when he 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:54.439 didn't have to come back and play. Yeah, I'll put 0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:57.800 myself out there. Yeah, I'll go play my brand of football. 0:42:57.840 --> 0:42:59.760 And so we'll guys like T Higgins and T Higginson 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.080 ourselves out there because it matters to us and what 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:06.799 matters winning matters. Very clear that winning matters. Joe has 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:08.520 said that from the moment he got here, the most 0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:11.880 important thing to me is winning Super Bowls, not the 0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.359 individual accolades. Would be nice to collect an MVP with 0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:18.319 all the other guys that Mo mentioned to absolutely, but 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.480 he's played at an MVP caliber since he arrived here 0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:25.239 in Cincinnati. And this to me is, hey, if you 0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:27.160 want to look at me and my actions, go ahead, 0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.719 because I'm going to act in the same sense of urgency. 0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.120 I'm not gonna sit this out. I'm not going to 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.160 watch them the sideline. I'm gonna be out here with 0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:36.359 the guys because it's important to me and it needs 0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:38.840 to be important to more of the decision makers on 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.080 how urgent this becomes in the office. 0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:43.719 And I also think we are now closer to the 0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:46.680 end of Joe Burrow's current contract than we are to 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.120 when he played in a Super Bowl. Sure right, the 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:52.120 clock is ticking, so you might have thought that a 0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:56.120 lot of people overblew. You know, well, he's gonna demand 0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:58.200 a trade or he's gonna do an Andrew Locke. 0:43:58.520 --> 0:43:59.080 I agree. 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.479 At the same time, do you want to be where 0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:05.160 they are again in a year with a quarterback who's 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:08.000 then gonna turn thirty, who's got three years left At 0:44:08.000 --> 0:44:09.839 some point the Bengals are gonna want to extend him. 0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:11.719 You don't want to be in a position where Joe 0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.560 Burrow goes I'm good, yeah, here, here. 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:18.200 Here now, Jamar Chase, when asked this week if he 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.480 thinks the Bengals are quote unquote close. 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.719 I feel like that's the same question I get asked 0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:27.839 there close. You know, I say the same thing every 0:44:27.920 --> 0:44:31.400 I don't. I mean, at this point, we're gonna keep battling, 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:35.560 and that's all we can do. As players, control intro 0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:37.839 and make plays and opportunities when our numbers is calling. 0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:40.920 That's all we can do. You have a situation, so no, 0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:43.440 they're not close, right, We're gonna play hard. You have 0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:47.120 a situation. Compare it to baseball. Great baseball teams are 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:51.680 strong up the middle catcher, GP combination, center fielder. This 0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:56.279 team is weak up the middle, dtackle, linebacker, safety, So 0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:58.960 it's pretty obvious where they've got to make changes. If 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:01.759 changers are going to be now, you're not gonna fix 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:03.440 it in one draft. You're not gonna hit a home 0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.759 run in one draft. So you damn well better go 0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:08.080 out there and what we talked about in the last 0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:11.680 half hour, find people early in free agent, not bottom 0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:13.480 feeding at the end of the first week or the 0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:16.200 end of the second week. Get players that can come 0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:18.839 in and play right now and make a difference right 0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:20.640 now up the middle of your defense. 0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:23.840 Dalton Riiser has been fantastic. Dalton Riisler was an afterthought 0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:26.120 for much of training camp. Oh he doesn't make his 0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:30.120 mind up apparently until late train But can you you're 0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:34.239 spot on this, and again it's not easy to do it. 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:38.120 But the one prerequisite that people have always talked about 0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:41.960 with the defense just be middle of the pack because 0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:42.960 the offense is that good. 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:44.280 Do you want a top ten defense? 0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:48.319 Absolutely, but there's not as much pressure to go from 0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.200 one of the worst in the NFL to the league's 0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:52.239 best next year? Can you go from one of the 0:45:52.239 --> 0:45:56.000 worst in the NFL to fourteenth next year? If this 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:59.920 was a fourteenth or fifteenth ring defense, then we're talking 0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:03.280 today going into this game against Cleveland about playoff seeding, 0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:05.680 and you know is the number one seed still at 0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:09.640 stake is a first round by his home field advantage. 0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:14.040 Instead it again playing out the string. You could probably 0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:16.200 take our last show of last year and plug it 0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:18.640 into everything we're saying today. They got a ton of 0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.080 things they got to improve on. The only thing that's 0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:24.040 different from last year to this year is the offensive 0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:27.000 line seems to be in a much better spot going forward. 0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.759 That doesn't need as much attention. But I guarantee you 0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:32.120 Week eighteen. Last year, we were having the same conversation 0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:34.480 about the defensive side of the ball just needing to 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.239 be average because the offense is so explosive, and we're 0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:38.600 doing the exact same thing today. 0:46:38.640 --> 0:46:42.120 Well, and with Reisner in particular, there's a chance to 0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:43.600 get an early win. 0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:44.720 Do what's easy. 0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:46.799 Here is a player who has performed at a high 0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:49.479 enough level that it makes sense to bring him back. 0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:52.160 He's due to be a free agent. He has stated 0:46:52.200 --> 0:46:54.480 publicly I want to be here, and by the way, 0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:57.400 the Bengals can do something about that before March. So 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.840 you know, Dalton Ryan is not Chamar Chaser T Higgins. 0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:04.280 But one of the one of the problems the Bengals 0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:07.319 had was they ended up paying those guys more than 0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:10.600 they probably should have because they waited so long. And 0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:13.840 then when they waited so long, by Katie Blackburn's own admission, 0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:16.680 that took their attention away from free agency. That is 0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:20.520 a horrible excuse. But okay, so you know what the 0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:23.359 moment this season ends called Dalton Reisner, go let's get 0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:25.960 a ton Yeah, let's just let's scrape this one off 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.560 the plate. We have so much work to do let's 0:47:28.560 --> 0:47:32.120 not create more by letting Dalton Reisner hit free agency, 0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:34.960 and then we have to replace one of the few 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:38.040 players we acquired last offseason who has helped us this year. 0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:41.719 Why don't we check out the delivery of the game 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.399 last week. It's brought to you by RNL Carriers. Visit 0:47:44.520 --> 0:47:49.920 RLC dot com make RNL carriers. You're global transportation provider. Well, 0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:51.640 what was your delivery of the game. 0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:55.680 Last Cody Ford a twenty one yard reception, twenty one 0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:57.840 yard catch and run. They should have given him the 0:47:57.840 --> 0:47:59.480 ball at the goal line, given him a chance to 0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:00.359 score a touch down. 0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:02.480 It was a cool moment for Cody. 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:06.239 What I enjoyed was on Twitter, everybody raced to make 0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:09.120 the same joke, which was that Cody Ford has more 0:48:09.160 --> 0:48:12.160 receptions than Jermaine Burton this season. I thought it was 0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:13.920 a delivery of the game for Cody. I thought it 0:48:13.960 --> 0:48:15.760 was also a delivery of the game for the writers, 0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.640 because what else do you write about? Right, So they 0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:21.200 wrote when they played Miami, the hey Joe is back, 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:23.600 look at what this offense can do. They couldn't really 0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:25.239 put a bowl in the season because they had one 0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:28.080 more game left against Cleveland. So when Cody Ford caught 0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:30.879 that pass. Everybody who covers the team got a chance 0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:31.919 to write about Cody Ford. 0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:32.320 Yeah. 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:36.440 I agree, Yeah, it's easily Cody Ford. If it's not 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:40.959 Cody Ford. Last week, Jamar Chase became the first wide 0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:43.160 receiver in NFL history to have eighty or more catches, 0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:45.920 seven or more touchdowns in one thousand plus yards in 0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:49.680 each of his first five NFL seasons. You could tell 0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:51.800 going into that game because of how he talked about it, 0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:53.640 leading in how much you wanted to get. 0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:54.000 In the end zone. 0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:56.160 Hadn't been in the end zone in quite some time, 0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.360 So Cody Ford is the easy answer. 0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:00.239 I would go with that. 0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.160 But if not Jamar Chas and finding the end zone 0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:05.520 and finding his way in the NFL record, I. 0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:07.879 Would also say the delivery of the game might be 0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:10.920 when the Arizona Cardinals put the posted stamp on the 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:14.520 envelope and delivered the letter to the mailman in that 0:49:14.600 --> 0:49:16.120 effort that they mailed in last week. 0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:21.160 Yeah, no have tanking that people want to know does 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:25.360 a team tank? That was a team I made the 0:49:25.360 --> 0:49:29.920 observation they don't really have players that tackle. They have escorted. 0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:34.080 They just escorted players down the field until that player 0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:34.960 trip they did. 0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:37.279 They showed at one point like, hey, this is what 0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:39.160 we could have done if we didn't mail it in. Yah, 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:43.239 we're going to utilize your poor safety and tackling on 0:49:43.320 --> 0:49:45.360 a touchdown pass that should have never been a touchdown. 0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:48.760 Outside of that, they could have not shown any less 0:49:48.800 --> 0:49:50.960 care in being on a football field than what was 0:49:50.960 --> 0:49:52.000 on display last week. 0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:55.160 You're listening to the RNOL Carriers pregame show.

What's on the line. Well for the Bengals, 0:54:50.800 --> 0:54:56.680 nothing bride for the Browns, nothing except files Garrett quick 0:54:56.719 --> 0:55:00.440 get the sack records. Single season sack record held t. J. 0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:04.000 Watt and long before him, you know who he is. 0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:12.480 NFL pregame show, Michael Straighthands and before Himkoy Bacon, Mark Gasteneaux, 0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:17.840 and before him Reggie White, and before him Deacon Jones, 0:55:18.560 --> 0:55:23.000 Koy Bacon most sacks in the season. So we asked 0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:28.439 Marcus Arrow on that list, we asked Miles Garrett does 0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:33.200 he know going into this game that he could get 0:55:33.239 --> 0:55:36.240 the sack record against Joe Burrow, whom he has sackled? 0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:39.160 He is sack born than any other quarterback to save with. 0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:41.440 You have a chance to set the sack record? 0:55:41.440 --> 0:55:45.040 Are you aware? Somebody asks in that question against Joe Burrow. 0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:47.359 Here's what he had to say. 0:55:48.080 --> 0:55:53.560 What I've known absolutely, I've seen his face on the 0:55:53.600 --> 0:55:56.360 ground looking up at me saying high Miles and Hi 0:55:56.480 --> 0:55:59.840 Joe too many times, So yeah, I figured he'd be 0:55:59.840 --> 0:56:00.560 a at the top. 0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:03.480 Yeah, he's at the top, twelve time sacked by Garrett 0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:06.600 along with Lebar Jackson. As for Joe, he says he 0:56:06.640 --> 0:56:10.920 will not do anything differently today to avoid getting sacked, 0:56:11.320 --> 0:56:16.480 and if he gets sacked, well, Cess lev where is Joe. 0:56:17.040 --> 0:56:21.440 Yeah, I'm certainly not gonna overcompensate either way. I'm not 0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:23.920 gonna go out of my way to not let him 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:26.040 get the record, and I'm not gonna go out of 0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:28.440 my way to let him get the record either. I'm 0:56:28.440 --> 0:56:31.680 gonna go and play football. There's gonna be situations that 0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:34.840 a sack is the best of the bad outcomes of 0:56:34.840 --> 0:56:36.960 that play, and maybe I take one, and there's gonna 0:56:37.000 --> 0:56:38.880 be other situations that I'm about to get sacked and 0:56:39.680 --> 0:56:41.920 I need to throw it away in that situation. It's 0:56:41.960 --> 0:56:48.279 such a such a situational game that I don't think 0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:50.239 you can go in thinking one way or the other. 0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:52.799 Every play so different. Yeah. Did you get what I 0:56:52.800 --> 0:56:55.920 did there? Yeah, Cesslavi, it's really say love. 0:56:56.040 --> 0:56:56.279 Yeah. 0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:56.920 Did you get that. 0:56:57.000 --> 0:56:58.640 Robbie Nevill's song nineteen eighty seven? 0:56:59.160 --> 0:57:01.640 Yeah, Robbie Neville, he was a great singer God Bless. 0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:03.600 I heard him on your show. No, he's not on 0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.800 my show. Let's talk about this, do you? Miles Garrett 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:08.880 last week was a vocal point for the Steelers. They 0:57:08.920 --> 0:57:12.440 almost sacrificed the outcome, but they did sure that Garrett 0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:15.120 didn't get a set. I did sacrifice that. That was 0:57:15.160 --> 0:57:16.680 a poor choice strategy. 0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:18.919 Now I think the Bengal should sacrifice the outcome as well. 0:57:19.280 --> 0:57:21.480 I think they should play with extra linemen on the 0:57:21.520 --> 0:57:24.280 field for much of the afternom. I think in all, 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:26.880 I like, I don't expect Joe Burrow to change how 0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:29.720 he operates. I expect Zach Taylor to change how he 0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:30.840 calls plays. 0:57:30.760 --> 0:57:31.600 Or he should. 0:57:31.960 --> 0:57:36.320 I mean, it doesn't mean anything if Joe Burrow doesn't 0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:36.840 get through this. 0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:38.360 Game today like that. 0:57:38.520 --> 0:57:40.520 That's the thing to me, Like we're talking Miles Garrett. 0:57:40.520 --> 0:57:42.640 Great gets at sack right, he could get against Joe 0:57:42.640 --> 0:57:45.120 Flacco as well. That was the the main talking point 0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:48.080 from last Monday for me was how quick Zach Taylor 0:57:48.120 --> 0:57:49.479 came out and said Joe was gonna play. 0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:52.920 Because I've already seen enough. Joe had the. 0:57:52.880 --> 0:57:55.480 Back to back good games against Miami in Arizona. There's 0:57:55.480 --> 0:57:58.720 nothing left to play for You've already proven who you are. 0:57:59.520 --> 0:58:03.200 If if Joe's the guy today, are you are you 0:58:03.280 --> 0:58:04.360 catering it deffinitely? 0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:06.080 Are you calling this more close to us? 0:58:06.080 --> 0:58:07.760 Are you getting more quick game out, are you doing 0:58:07.800 --> 0:58:09.200 more play action to move the pocket? 0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:12.480 Are you doing more max protect two man routes. 0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:15.120 That's what I want to know, because the one thing 0:58:15.160 --> 0:58:18.760 that completely changes with the conversation for Cincinnati Bengals fans 0:58:18.800 --> 0:58:21.280 tomorrow is is if you're talking about going into an 0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:24.320 offseason getting Joe Burrow healthy again, I. 0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:27.240 Would say that Jake Browning, you know, Joe Flacco is 0:58:27.280 --> 0:58:31.200 a Super Bowl MVP, has that a great career. Joe 0:58:31.280 --> 0:58:34.439 Burrow is arguably the best quarterback in the sport. Would 0:58:34.480 --> 0:58:36.240 you like to be the answer to a trivia question? 0:58:36.360 --> 0:58:36.560 Yeah? 0:58:36.800 --> 0:58:39.280 Great, you're gonna get a chance to play today. And 0:58:39.280 --> 0:58:43.200 Miles Garrett Sacksya, You'll go down in NFL history as 0:58:43.200 --> 0:58:44.040 the guy that he sacked. 0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:47.280 I Tony, I'm with you. I didn't have a. 0:58:47.280 --> 0:58:51.560 Huge issue with Joe playing against the Dolphins or the Cardins. Nope, fine, 0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:54.240 he worked his ass off to come back. You want 0:58:54.240 --> 0:58:56.320 to send a message that we're all about trying to 0:58:56.320 --> 0:58:59.680 win no matter what I understand it. This is week eighteen. 0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:01.920 They have a lot of work on their hands that 0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:06.080 starts tomorrow. Do you want to complicate things by adding 0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:08.560 a question about your quarterback's health. 0:59:09.600 --> 0:59:13.160 The best defensive player in the NFL is playing for 0:59:13.360 --> 0:59:14.040 history today. 0:59:14.120 --> 0:59:17.560 In life, you make compromises, and the compromise for Joe 0:59:17.600 --> 0:59:19.760 would have been you got a chance to come back. 0:59:19.760 --> 0:59:22.880 You played great, awesome, see in April. I wouldn't haven't 0:59:22.880 --> 0:59:23.600 played today. 0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:27.600 And like down I I'll watch today. 0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:30.800 Through my fingers because the the only thing that makes 0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:32.040 today's game matter. 0:59:32.440 --> 0:59:33.760 Make compromise. 0:59:34.360 --> 0:59:36.280 Yeah, you make a compromise doing the show with us. 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:38.760 Yep, we get it. I don't make a compromise. I 0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:42.080 make a poor business decision doing this show. They made 0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:43.160 a few in my life. 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:46.360 But the only thing that matters about today's game is 0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:48.360 if it affects next year negatively. 0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:48.760 Yep. 0:59:49.000 --> 0:59:51.360 What can have the biggest negative impact on next year 0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:54.480 season an injury to the quarterback. This isn't about Miles Garrett. 0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:57.120 They can be playing anybody. They can be playing any 0:59:57.160 --> 1:00:00.360 team with a bad defensive line and edge rush we've 1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:03.000 never heard of. I don't want to play him today. 1:00:03.600 --> 1:00:06.880 That's maybe not the most popular opinion. Joe wouldn't like it. 1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:10.600 But today's game, if they win, we shrug our shoulders 1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:13.280 and go cool. Get started on next year, Today's game, 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:17.120 no matter the outcome. If Joe Burrow gets hurt, suddenly 1:00:17.160 --> 1:00:19.800 next year is a little bit more complicated. Why why 1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:21.200 complicate things unnecessary? 1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:23.080 Why even roll the dice fellas, We got to take 1:00:23.120 --> 1:00:26.880 a break. It's time for the news and then after 1:00:26.920 --> 1:00:30.200 that we'll get into more discussion about today's game and 1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:34.560 perhaps the repercussions if said injury occurs. Because all of 1:00:34.560 --> 1:00:36.760 this is fodder, as they say, gris for the mill 1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:39.479 I want to know. On the Rnelle Carriers pregame show 1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:44.760 presented by Your Cincinnati to Carlo and Johnny's on seven 1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:48.840 Reservation WLW, Tip of Vala and esp had fifteen thirty. 1:00:48.960 --> 1:00:56.920 Hey, it's where they orange into black by linn W 1:00:58.240 --> 1:01:03.840 Cincinnati News Traffic and Winning. This is a game day 1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:05.280 news update. 1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:11.160 Mixed emotions about Venezuela. This is the ten o'clock report. 1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:16.000 Good morning, I'm Sandy Collins breaking now. After Nicholas Maduro, 1:01:16.400 --> 1:01:21.880 the former president, was taken out of office yesterday, captured 1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:24.520 by the US to face drug charges this weekend. There 1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:27.880 are mixed emotions felt in Venezuela and across our country. 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:31.800 ABC's Matt Rivers has the latest from those inside Venezuela. 1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:35.160 Many people I have spoken to personally inside the country 1:01:35.200 --> 1:01:37.760 over the last twenty four hours describe two things.

Okay, that brought to you by plump tight, 1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:36.839 fast response times, no service fees, Tony Who's. 1:10:36.600 --> 1:10:39.719 Hot at the NFL saw them last night. Seattle Seahawks 1:10:39.840 --> 1:10:42.439 are the one seed in the NFC. We've talked about 1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:45.439 a lot of other teams this year, talked about the Rams, 1:10:45.479 --> 1:10:48.080 have talked about the forty nine ers, talked about a 1:10:48.160 --> 1:10:50.559 lot of other teams, the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC. 1:10:51.439 --> 1:10:54.840 What Seattle went and did in San Francisco last night 1:10:56.120 --> 1:10:58.719 to that offense and the way they had been operating 1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:02.599 with brock Party and Christian mcrey and Shanahan calling plays, 1:11:02.960 --> 1:11:06.760 that was one of the most dominant and impressive performances 1:11:06.920 --> 1:11:11.400 I've seen credit to Sam Darnold back to back great seasons. 1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.679 He did not kind of fall apart down the stretch 1:11:13.760 --> 1:11:17.960 this year with Seattle, but man, that was as much 1:11:18.000 --> 1:11:19.559 of a statement win as you can make. 1:11:20.080 --> 1:11:21.400 Last night's what Seattle did. 1:11:21.840 --> 1:11:24.880 Jacksonville Jaguars going to Week eighteen with a chance for 1:11:25.000 --> 1:11:28.160 the one seed. They win, Denver loses. They're the one 1:11:28.280 --> 1:11:29.960 who saw that coming. You know, you go back to 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:32.200 Week two, Bengals beat them, the game that Joe Burrow 1:11:32.240 --> 1:11:35.760 got hurt. Nobody was talking about that team even being 1:11:35.960 --> 1:11:38.519 a playoff team. Despite the fact that the AFC South 1:11:38.680 --> 1:11:41.599 wasn't expected to be very good, they have thus far 1:11:41.720 --> 1:11:43.080 held off a great. 1:11:42.920 --> 1:11:45.679 Challenge from the Houston Texans. I'm gonna say that AFC 1:11:45.840 --> 1:11:47.839 South turned, yeah into two contenders. 1:11:48.600 --> 1:11:50.679 Liam Cohen, you know, we've talked about it on this show. 1:11:50.760 --> 1:11:54.640 Coaching matters in this league, and Trevor Lawrence finally has 1:11:54.680 --> 1:11:56.040 a coach who knows what he's doing, at least on 1:11:56.080 --> 1:11:57.400 the offensive side of the ball. But they have a 1:11:57.479 --> 1:11:59.479 really complete team. They have one of the great wins 1:11:59.479 --> 1:12:02.600 of the season, going to Denver and winning handily. That 1:12:02.800 --> 1:12:05.840 Jacksonville team. You know, it's the Jags, and there's a 1:12:05.840 --> 1:12:08.120 little bit of a stigma about him. I wouldn't want 1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:10.280 to play them though, and they may get Round one off. 1:12:10.400 --> 1:12:12.880 What is going on in Seattle though, I mean other 1:12:13.000 --> 1:12:15.800 than the fact that they have a well rounded team, 1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:18.960 a good team, but their quarterback playoff there has been outstanding. 1:12:19.040 --> 1:12:21.320 When no one else could win with that quarterback, all 1:12:21.360 --> 1:12:22.840 of a sudden, that guy is winning with him. 1:12:22.920 --> 1:12:27.000 It is a well balanced team. Yeah, sharbon Ay and 1:12:27.080 --> 1:12:31.080 Kenneth Walker. They remember a name talking about draft names, 1:12:31.200 --> 1:12:33.879 Gray's Abel was the name we talked about in Cincinnati 1:12:33.920 --> 1:12:36.759 a lot. He's had a great rookie year for Seattle. 1:12:37.520 --> 1:12:40.639 Jackson Smith and Jigma has been all world for that team. 1:12:41.040 --> 1:12:43.479 One of the quiet moves they went and got Cooper Cup. Yeah, 1:12:43.680 --> 1:12:47.800 who's been solid and it's a great defense. It's it's 1:12:47.960 --> 1:12:50.320 unique because we. 1:12:50.400 --> 1:12:52.360 Talked about superlatives in the NFL a lot. 1:12:52.920 --> 1:12:56.120 There's probably six names you could throw out who legitimately 1:12:56.160 --> 1:12:57.719 deserve to be Coach of the Year in the NFL 1:12:57.800 --> 1:12:58.120 this year. 1:12:58.240 --> 1:13:01.280 I saw tweet last night, listen to nine guys and 1:13:01.680 --> 1:13:03.720 each one of them Zach Taylor was not one of them. 1:13:03.920 --> 1:13:06.200 Each one of them. I'm thinking that guy's got a 1:13:06.240 --> 1:13:06.679 good case. 1:13:07.000 --> 1:13:09.439 That guy's got a good case. Watching Seattle last night 1:13:09.520 --> 1:13:12.639 and their defense versus what we've seen with the Bengals 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:13.520 all season. 1:13:14.080 --> 1:13:15.559 It's a different sport. 1:13:15.720 --> 1:13:19.639 It's striking how just fundamentally good they are right, their 1:13:19.680 --> 1:13:22.040 players are in position, and they get the guy to 1:13:22.120 --> 1:13:25.360 the ground who's got the football. It's hard, I get it. 1:13:25.800 --> 1:13:28.639 They make it look easy them In the Houston Texans. 1:13:28.960 --> 1:13:31.920 It's hard hitting and it's physical and they swarm to 1:13:32.000 --> 1:13:35.600 the ball. But there's such value in just playing fundamentally 1:13:35.680 --> 1:13:38.479 sound football, as cliche as it sounds. See that with 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:42.280 the Texans. See it defensively with the Seattle Seahawks. Although 1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:45.080 I do have to think with Gino Stone and his 1:13:45.560 --> 1:13:49.400 pending free agency, Mike McDonald used to be his defensive. 1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:50.040 Coordinator in Baltimore. 1:13:50.160 --> 1:13:52.280 Oh, I'm sure in the back of his mind he's thinking, 1:13:52.360 --> 1:13:54.439 you know, the guy that can help to us take 1:13:54.479 --> 1:13:56.960 this to the next level Number twenty two in Cincinnati. 1:13:58.760 --> 1:14:04.719 Really, no, I think so it's that made you speachless. 1:14:05.040 --> 1:14:10.760 It's also though I thought for a second there, But. 1:14:10.840 --> 1:14:13.800 Also with Seattle, as good as they've been, how many 1:14:13.920 --> 1:14:15.880 like star players can you name on the defense? If 1:14:15.920 --> 1:14:18.280 you didn't just watch the game last night, right, they're 1:14:18.320 --> 1:14:22.400 not full of stars, but like it's it's something I've 1:14:22.439 --> 1:14:24.120 talked about now. I think for the last three years 1:14:24.920 --> 1:14:29.599 in Cincinnati, I don't feel like the scheme matches the personnel. 1:14:30.280 --> 1:14:33.519 In Seattle, the scheme has to match the personnel because 1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:36.519 they don't have the star power on the defensive side 1:14:36.520 --> 1:14:39.040 of the ball. But every piece on that defense fits 1:14:39.160 --> 1:14:42.599 perfectly into what Mike McDonald wants to do, and it's 1:14:42.640 --> 1:14:45.280 a team that's well ahead of schedule. A lot of 1:14:45.280 --> 1:14:47.880 people were talking about the Seattle Seahawks. It was, Oh, 1:14:47.960 --> 1:14:50.760 they went and got Sam Darnold. They're they're gonna, you know, 1:14:50.880 --> 1:14:53.559 piece it together until they figure out quarterback. They are 1:14:53.600 --> 1:14:57.000 the one seed in the NFC and they don't have 1:14:57.520 --> 1:14:59.040 the top tier star. 1:14:58.960 --> 1:14:59.719 Power on defense. 1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:03.280 The division where the La Rams are in the playoffs 1:15:03.520 --> 1:15:05.080 and the San Francisco forty nine. 1:15:05.040 --> 1:15:08.720 Ers are in the playoffs. Yep, let's talk about the 1:15:08.800 --> 1:15:12.240 performer of the week. Not necessarily here from Cincinnati, but 1:15:12.880 --> 1:15:14.880 league wide. It's brought to you by Crown Royal, the 1:15:14.960 --> 1:15:18.639 official whiskey of the Bengals, bringing the spirit to every 1:15:18.680 --> 1:15:21.160 game this season. Both of you I'm sure at this 1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:23.719 at some point in your lives have had a Crown Royal. 1:15:24.680 --> 1:15:27.400 So if you did, we're gonna have one. It's probably 1:15:27.479 --> 1:15:29.559 not difficult to pick up the performer of the week. 1:15:29.600 --> 1:15:31.599 We're gonna have one to toast the end of the show, 1:15:32.240 --> 1:15:34.720 another successful season for us before we get out of here. 1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:38.720 At eleven. I can't do it. I had a an 1:15:38.840 --> 1:15:41.320 off the field moment with Crown Royal that I promised 1:15:41.320 --> 1:15:44.719 I would tell you about this week, But go right ahead. 1:15:44.760 --> 1:15:46.200 Who is your performer of the week. I made a 1:15:46.240 --> 1:15:46.880 Jamar Chase. 1:15:48.680 --> 1:15:50.439 You know, it's interesting if you look at his numbers 1:15:50.479 --> 1:15:53.320 compared to last year, they pale in comparison. They're still awesome. 1:15:53.400 --> 1:15:56.439 We talk about like wasting Joe Burrow. They have gotten 1:15:56.560 --> 1:16:01.320 three stellar seasons from Jamar Chase. He's gonna walk away 1:16:01.360 --> 1:16:03.559 from here whenever he does as the best wide receiver 1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:05.639 in the history of the franchise, which is saying something 1:16:06.120 --> 1:16:09.839 given how good this team historically has been at that position. 1:16:10.479 --> 1:16:12.600 Finally found the end zone last week one hundred and 1:16:12.640 --> 1:16:16.280 seventeen catches in counting. Statistically, it wasn't an eye popping game. 1:16:16.280 --> 1:16:18.640 If you look at the box scorer but I just 1:16:18.880 --> 1:16:21.439 I wanted to mention it. He found the end zone. Yeah, 1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:24.560 he's a remarkable player. He's had a great year, and 1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:27.559 he's among the guys they cannot continue to waste. 1:16:28.320 --> 1:16:31.559 I would performer of the week would be the performance 1:16:31.600 --> 1:16:35.000 of Arizona as a team to tray an NFL team 1:16:35.760 --> 1:16:36.280 last week. 1:16:36.920 --> 1:16:38.519 I went to the whole league level. 1:16:38.560 --> 1:16:41.639 You want to talk about wasting years b Jon Robinson, Yes, 1:16:42.080 --> 1:16:44.720 ninety three yard touchdown run, well over two hundred and 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:48.240 twenty five total yards in a upset win over the 1:16:48.320 --> 1:16:50.920 Rams last week. Which makes today interesting because the Bucks 1:16:50.960 --> 1:16:54.080 win yesterday. Now you've got the Bucks rooting for their rival, 1:16:54.160 --> 1:16:56.679 the Saints. You've got the Panthers rooting for their rival 1:16:56.760 --> 1:16:59.799 the Falcons. Today they play each other. If the Falcons 1:16:59.800 --> 1:17:02.400 win and Panthers are in Saints win, Bucks are in 1:17:02.880 --> 1:17:06.880 absolute madness in that division. But wasting the talent of 1:17:07.040 --> 1:17:11.920 Bjon Robinson unbelievable skill set. Watched them on display because 1:17:11.960 --> 1:17:16.040 that was a fun game last week. I couldn't imagine 1:17:16.080 --> 1:17:19.559 the conversation going on around that team and that city 1:17:20.360 --> 1:17:23.519 and wasting a generational type of talent because you can't 1:17:23.520 --> 1:17:24.080 build around it. 1:17:24.120 --> 1:17:27.800 And I'll also add Performer of the Week begrudgingly. Derrick Henry. Yeah, 1:17:27.880 --> 1:17:31.080 because now the Baltimore Ravens are favored to win the 1:17:31.200 --> 1:17:34.400 AFC North if they win that game tonight in Pittsburgh. 1:17:34.439 --> 1:17:37.760 The Steelers playing without DK Metcalf. But you know, we've 1:17:37.840 --> 1:17:40.479 watched the Ravens this year at times, including against Cincinnati 1:17:40.520 --> 1:17:42.840 in the first game on Thanksgiving, wondering why don't they 1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:46.080 give him the football? They said screw it. Last Saturday 1:17:46.160 --> 1:17:51.320 night in Green Bay. Tyler Huntley is a more than 1:17:51.439 --> 1:17:54.280 capable backup option for any team, but they said, we're 1:17:54.320 --> 1:17:56.840 giving the ball to Derrick Henry and if we lose, 1:17:57.040 --> 1:17:59.479 we're done. But he's going to extend our season. 1:17:59.560 --> 1:18:00.240 And he did. 1:18:01.040 --> 1:18:02.559 And if i'm John. 1:18:02.360 --> 1:18:04.360 Harball, oh, they do that with Lamar back tonight. 1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:08.360 Yes, you have to in that game tonight, you absolutely 1:18:08.479 --> 1:18:11.519 have to. I love watching him play. I'm no Ravens 1:18:11.600 --> 1:18:13.760 fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I love 1:18:13.840 --> 1:18:17.120 watching running backs like that in games like that, where 1:18:17.160 --> 1:18:21.160 they're almost literally putting the team on their shoulders. 1:18:21.240 --> 1:18:24.479 Can I tell you my Crown Royal story? Yeah, it's quick, Okay, 1:18:25.000 --> 1:18:27.680 so nineteen I think it's eighty nine. I can't. I 1:18:27.760 --> 1:18:29.400 think it was nineteen eighty nine. I was working at 1:18:29.600 --> 1:18:33.040 Channel five. I had glory days. Jerry Springer, Yes, got Norma, 1:18:33.439 --> 1:18:35.840 got pat so they get beat. I think the Seahawks 1:18:35.880 --> 1:18:38.040 feed him. It was Sam coming out saying, don't come 1:18:38.080 --> 1:18:39.680 in the locker room. There's a bunch of guys on 1:18:39.760 --> 1:18:41.920 the floor with body bags and they wouldn't have the 1:18:42.040 --> 1:18:45.760 meat in. So we're trying to get in and I 1:18:46.160 --> 1:18:48.240 forget who the photographer was I was with, and I 1:18:48.320 --> 1:18:50.439 apologized for that. It might have been Scott Simpson, it 1:18:50.520 --> 1:18:52.840 might have been Rob Brightley, but we needed a new 1:18:52.920 --> 1:18:56.560 camera battery because our camera battery was dying and we 1:18:56.600 --> 1:18:58.439 had to have a new camera battery. When they would 1:18:58.479 --> 1:19:01.960 eventually get us in. I reached into the bag, the 1:19:02.240 --> 1:19:04.600 equipment bag, to get a battery for him, and I 1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:06.800 pull it out and my arm goes up and I 1:19:06.920 --> 1:19:10.200 hit Turk. Shown it oh backup quarterback in the far 1:19:10.240 --> 1:19:14.280 ahead with this camera battery, and he, after about thirteen minutes, 1:19:14.680 --> 1:19:17.080 has this welt the size of the Rhode Island on 1:19:17.160 --> 1:19:19.439 his head for me hitting with the camera battery. In 1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:23.479 the same game, Chris Collinsworth broke ribs or bruised ribs 1:19:23.520 --> 1:19:26.400 and he's coming in and he's like staggering in with it. 1:19:27.080 --> 1:19:29.720 And so we do the interview and all that, and 1:19:29.880 --> 1:19:32.760 that night got have a room together. Collins Worth's on 1:19:32.840 --> 1:19:35.759 the couch with an ice bag on his ribs. Turk's 1:19:35.800 --> 1:19:37.679 on the couch with an ice bag on his head. 1:19:37.920 --> 1:19:40.160 And I'm back at the station saying, you know, I 1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:43.080 didn't have anything to do with collins Worth, but I 1:19:43.200 --> 1:19:45.560 think I hurt Turk. I really want to make it 1:19:45.640 --> 1:19:47.439 good for Turk, so if he has to take care 1:19:47.479 --> 1:19:51.040 of Collinsworth. So I said, what should I do? So 1:19:51.520 --> 1:19:55.760 Pat Berry Lord be good to him. Late Pat Perry says, hey, 1:19:56.240 --> 1:19:58.360 just get a just get a bottle of curved Royal 1:19:58.439 --> 1:20:00.960 and take it to Churk. He'll be fun. So I 1:20:01.040 --> 1:20:04.000 got down to Spinty Field the next Monday and I 1:20:04.160 --> 1:20:06.120 asked Turk if I can interview him, and he said, yeah, 1:20:06.160 --> 1:20:08.519 only if I can put the helmet on. I said, Turk, 1:20:09.000 --> 1:20:11.519 I said, said, And then I said, by the way, 1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:13.000 I've got this for you. I had him a bottle 1:20:13.040 --> 1:20:14.720 of Crown Royal. He looked at it, he grabbed it 1:20:14.840 --> 1:20:17.000 and he ran ran to his car. He's in the 1:20:17.040 --> 1:20:20.280 parking runs to his cart, puts it in there. I said, 1:20:20.880 --> 1:20:23.040 are we cool? He goes, yeah, We're cool. No worries. 1:20:23.120 --> 1:20:26.439 Well done, well done, good. That's my Crown Royal story. 1:20:27.040 --> 1:20:30.519 Turk Schoner was the Bengals postgame show host when I 1:20:30.640 --> 1:20:32.840 first started at the radio stations. He was and I 1:20:32.880 --> 1:20:36.080 would have to run the board for Turk and Buddy Ryan. 1:20:36.960 --> 1:20:39.880 And Buddy Ryan would do the postgame show from his 1:20:39.960 --> 1:20:43.639 house in Georgetown, Kentucky, and would like fall asleep during breaks. 1:20:44.760 --> 1:20:46.439 I watch him the four o'clock games and he went 1:20:46.479 --> 1:20:50.360 a buddy Buddy stand by. Turk Shooner top ten nicest person. 1:20:50.200 --> 1:20:52.880 I've ever met. He is sweet guy. He is Turk. 1:20:53.160 --> 1:20:56.040 God bless him. He was wonderful. But boy, that could 1:20:56.080 --> 1:20:57.600 have got south in a hurry.

Today, 1:25:27.360 --> 1:25:29.839 there's a few things on the line for the Cleveland Browns, 1:25:30.040 --> 1:25:33.519 whether or not their coach survives Black Monday tomorrow. There 1:25:33.560 --> 1:25:36.479 will be a number of openings by tomorrow night, and 1:25:37.160 --> 1:25:40.760 the question to Shador Sanders, their quarterback of the moment 1:25:40.840 --> 1:25:43.240 there in Cleveland, was whether or not he and the 1:25:43.280 --> 1:25:47.280 rest of his team is playing to keep Kevin Stefanski's job. 1:25:47.360 --> 1:25:49.880 Here's what he had to say. Yeah, I don't think. 1:25:49.960 --> 1:25:52.560 I don't think we listened to the external stuff. I 1:25:52.600 --> 1:25:55.880 don't think we he's our coach. We view him as 1:25:55.880 --> 1:25:57.960 the same as we view him the first week. You know, 1:25:58.040 --> 1:25:59.479 we got to unmost respect for him. 1:26:00.000 --> 1:26:01.760 And uh yeah, Like I. 1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:05.760 Think that's more media stuff that's more outside noise than knowing. 1:26:06.240 --> 1:26:07.680 I mean, half of them know we're gonna be here 1:26:07.720 --> 1:26:09.000 next year, you know what I'm saying. So it's like 1:26:09.439 --> 1:26:11.439 we don't we don't really look at that. You know, 1:26:11.520 --> 1:26:13.760 we played, we played for the franchise, we played for 1:26:13.880 --> 1:26:16.320 our coaches, we played for the names on the front 1:26:16.360 --> 1:26:18.960 and back of our jersey. So it's like it's more 1:26:19.080 --> 1:26:21.959 than just like stuff that's just online. 1:26:23.840 --> 1:26:26.040 Okay, Well, we all know what's going on in Cleveland. 1:26:26.120 --> 1:26:28.280 It probably will be a changing of the guard, I 1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:31.000 think with that with that coaching staff, although I like 1:26:31.120 --> 1:26:33.840 Jim Schwartz. Yeah, maybe he survives. I don't know, but 1:26:34.000 --> 1:26:37.200 it seems like Stefanski's on thin ice up there. He's 1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:38.120 been there six years. 1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:41.640 He's one of those guys like I asked this all 1:26:41.680 --> 1:26:43.800 the time about Zach Taylor or Zach Taylor will let go? 1:26:43.920 --> 1:26:46.320 Would other teams be interested in hiring him as head coach? 1:26:46.320 --> 1:26:48.040 I think with Kevin Stefanski, the answer is yes. 1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:53.400 Well, there was literally talk of a trade between teams coaching, 1:26:53.520 --> 1:26:56.679 trade between our draft picks for coach trade. So he's 1:26:56.760 --> 1:26:59.680 well regarded inside the NFL, but he's in an impossible 1:26:59.720 --> 1:27:01.080 suchuation in Cleveland, just in. 1:27:01.120 --> 1:27:03.080 One of those situations where you just wonder if the 1:27:03.680 --> 1:27:06.760 time and place is time to move on right, Like 1:27:07.320 --> 1:27:10.599 like you said, Stefanski is if he's let go tomorrow, 1:27:11.320 --> 1:27:13.160 he has a new job as quick as he wants it. 1:27:13.600 --> 1:27:16.760 He's going to have multiple suitors, and I think that 1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:19.360 speaks to his talent and what he can do. But 1:27:19.760 --> 1:27:22.800 maybe the voice in that locker room is needed to 1:27:22.880 --> 1:27:26.639 have a change. You talk about Cleveland though, they're gonna 1:27:26.640 --> 1:27:30.120 have the defensive rookie of the year. They have I 1:27:30.240 --> 1:27:33.280 thought hit a home run with Judkins before the injury, 1:27:33.360 --> 1:27:36.320 so you're gonna get him back. You still have Miles Garrett. 1:27:36.880 --> 1:27:39.360 They've drafted really well. They have to figure out the 1:27:39.439 --> 1:27:43.400 quarterback position. But I don't think Cleveland is as far 1:27:43.600 --> 1:27:47.519 back as maybe their record would indicate. They played three 1:27:47.600 --> 1:27:49.559 different quarterbacks this year. They've still got to figure out 1:27:49.760 --> 1:27:53.000 that John Watson's contract and what the future is there. 1:27:53.160 --> 1:27:54.400 Offensive line is a little bit. 1:27:54.439 --> 1:27:59.320 They've drafted well and still a extremely extremely talented defense. 1:28:00.000 --> 1:28:01.560 And if you look at where the AFC North is, 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:04.360 there's a game that's going to be played tonight where 1:28:04.400 --> 1:28:07.439 the losing team may very well also have a coaching vacancy. 1:28:08.160 --> 1:28:13.560 So I think the AFC North is transforming into a 1:28:13.600 --> 1:28:15.679 little bit of a different stage where you talk about 1:28:15.720 --> 1:28:18.360 the talent on the roster and the coaching. The Bengals 1:28:18.520 --> 1:28:21.040 could put themselves in a good spot starting next year 1:28:21.320 --> 1:28:22.759 with other questions in this division. 1:28:22.800 --> 1:28:24.920 I would be willing to back Kevin Stefanski was not 1:28:25.080 --> 1:28:29.720 responsible for that disastrous Deshaun Watson deal, so unfortunately he's 1:28:29.720 --> 1:28:33.920 probably gonna be the fall guy for it. We do 1:28:34.000 --> 1:28:36.880 a segment on the pregame show, the Network pregame show 1:28:36.960 --> 1:28:39.600 Tony where we talk about quarterback play, focusing on the 1:28:39.640 --> 1:28:44.280 other team's QB. What about shandor Sanders because Cleveland's not 1:28:44.360 --> 1:28:46.400 going to draft in the top two, right, so they're 1:28:46.400 --> 1:28:51.320 not going to get Mendoza. How do you I was 1:28:51.400 --> 1:28:53.519 surprised that Chador fell as far as he did in 1:28:53.560 --> 1:28:57.400 the draft. I could understand why he wasn't a first 1:28:57.520 --> 1:29:00.559 round guy. Has he done enough in clear to make 1:29:00.600 --> 1:29:03.200 you think he could be the guy long term? 1:29:03.560 --> 1:29:06.439 I think using the word could is appropriate. I think 1:29:06.479 --> 1:29:08.559 he's been really good, but he's not been good enough 1:29:08.600 --> 1:29:11.120 to be like you got your guy. I think he's 1:29:11.120 --> 1:29:14.280 shown flashes, and I think for the most part, the 1:29:14.320 --> 1:29:16.040 way he's handled himself has been the right way. 1:29:16.080 --> 1:29:17.000 He said the right things. 1:29:18.760 --> 1:29:21.560 But yeah, it's it's hard because now you're doing it 1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:26.519 without your top wide receiver and Fannin, Yeah you're you're 1:29:26.600 --> 1:29:31.000 doing it without Judkins. You just have this depleted roster 1:29:31.160 --> 1:29:32.760 and all these questions. I don't know how you can 1:29:32.840 --> 1:29:35.680 fairly judge what he's being asked to do. But when 1:29:35.680 --> 1:29:38.120 you watch him, it's not like you watch and saving 1:29:38.200 --> 1:29:39.840 that guy's got no chance of playing in the National 1:29:39.880 --> 1:29:42.080 Football League. I just think you need more time to 1:29:42.120 --> 1:29:42.680 evaluate it. 1:29:43.760 --> 1:29:45.840 Also, feel like the way they handled the offseason, I 1:29:45.840 --> 1:29:47.519 think it would be interesting if you could go back 1:29:47.600 --> 1:29:51.560 in time and create a scenario where Shadora You're the 1:29:51.600 --> 1:29:54.280 guy instead of or we're gonna go get Kenny Pickett 1:29:54.439 --> 1:29:56.960 then move on from him in Flacoh, we're gonna draft 1:29:57.080 --> 1:30:01.760 Dylan Gabriel. I could under stand why teams were a 1:30:01.840 --> 1:30:05.160 little bit hesitant as it relates to Shador Sanders because 1:30:05.200 --> 1:30:09.880 of everything around him that said, He's not a talentless guy. 1:30:10.479 --> 1:30:13.040 You've seen some of that talent play itself out. I 1:30:13.120 --> 1:30:16.880 would wonder if in a scenario where he was kind 1:30:16.920 --> 1:30:18.479 of given a chance from the get go, you're gonna 1:30:18.479 --> 1:30:20.479 take all the first team reps, You're gonna go through 1:30:20.560 --> 1:30:23.200 training camp and be the guy, what would that have 1:30:23.320 --> 1:30:24.800 looked like during his rookie season. 1:30:24.960 --> 1:30:28.479 Yeah, great question, standing by to answer other questions. 1:30:28.520 --> 1:30:31.080 Oh yeah, Paramount sports dot Com. 1:30:31.200 --> 1:30:33.720 He's got four games he's convinced or winners for you 1:30:33.960 --> 1:30:37.000 four and we'll all continue with that. At just a moment, 1:30:37.240 --> 1:30:39.360 it's party Central down here as we get ready for 1:30:39.400 --> 1:30:43.120 Crown Royal baby Party Central kind of like a wake. 1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:45.519 What do you think about? What the season is? The 1:30:45.600 --> 1:30:48.559 celebration of life. It will die at four o'clock this afternoon, 1:30:48.640 --> 1:30:50.800 one way or the other this season died months ago, 1:30:50.880 --> 1:30:53.040 so this is kind of like it was on life support. 1:30:53.120 --> 1:30:55.160 But I feel like this is today. We pulled the plug. 1:30:55.320 --> 1:30:57.680 This is a this is today. When you call the 1:30:57.760 --> 1:31:01.400 family in say it's over, twenty twenty five, it's done. 1:31:01.760 --> 1:31:04.479 So this is kind of like the celebration of twenty 1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:08.000 twenty five. Does that make sense?

How are you on 1:38:25.000 --> 1:38:26.160 this glorious game day. 1:38:27.320 --> 1:38:29.599 Well, it's a good thing we didn't do the show 1:38:29.680 --> 1:38:33.040 on Thursday or Friday. Lost my voice after going to 1:38:33.080 --> 1:38:35.360 the Miami Ohio State came in Dallas. 1:38:35.080 --> 1:38:38.479 So oh boy, we're finally back. We're about eighty five. 1:38:40.160 --> 1:38:42.719 That was a great game for Miami. My goodness, Miami 1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:45.519 is there. I think Indiana is the best team left. 1:38:45.560 --> 1:38:47.639 Miami is the hottest team left. Would you agree? 1:38:49.000 --> 1:38:51.920 Uh, Indiana might be the best day in the hottest 1:38:52.040 --> 1:38:55.040 right now, but Mimi not far behind. 1:38:55.200 --> 1:38:57.280 So I'm not going to be able to go out 1:38:57.320 --> 1:38:58.000 to Arizona. 1:38:58.160 --> 1:39:02.120 We'll see if we get the job and comes back 1:39:02.200 --> 1:39:04.479 in Miami could be playing a home game for the 1:39:04.600 --> 1:39:09.320 national titles. So yeah, and we'll definitely have some new teams. 1:39:09.439 --> 1:39:10.760 All four teams have. 1:39:10.920 --> 1:39:13.639 Really done nothing you know, over the last twenty twenty 1:39:13.720 --> 1:39:15.760 five years, So it's nice. 1:39:16.680 --> 1:39:18.640 Most people like to see some new blood in there 1:39:18.680 --> 1:39:19.479 every once in a while. 1:39:19.800 --> 1:39:22.280 Well, they got the Colts in Texans. Today they're playing 1:39:22.360 --> 1:39:24.679 this in Houston. Houston is giving ten and a half 1:39:25.880 --> 1:39:32.439 jackson Houston. Houston wins with the AFC South title. They 1:39:32.520 --> 1:39:34.360 win it with a win or a tie and a 1:39:34.400 --> 1:39:37.000 Houston lost their tie. Houston will win and the Jags 1:39:37.080 --> 1:39:40.040 lost their end. But here are the Texans lee they won, 1:39:40.360 --> 1:39:42.960 they won eight in a row and they're giving ten 1:39:43.040 --> 1:39:44.880 and a half to the Colts. What do you think 1:39:46.160 --> 1:39:46.720 Not only did. 1:39:46.640 --> 1:39:49.080 They won eight row, they've had to play eleven straight weeks. 1:39:49.120 --> 1:39:52.360 They had their buy early, so I think they got 1:39:52.439 --> 1:39:54.800 to be you know, obviously watching the scores. A lot 1:39:54.800 --> 1:39:56.679 of teams are gonna be score watching and that's gonna 1:39:56.680 --> 1:40:00.400 be important. A lot of inflated lines here, and when 1:40:00.439 --> 1:40:03.600 you're laying you know, as big a line as this, 1:40:04.280 --> 1:40:07.519 I mean, when do they take the starters out if 1:40:07.560 --> 1:40:09.120 they see Jacksonville's. 1:40:08.600 --> 1:40:10.240 Winning big, which I think will happen. 1:40:10.880 --> 1:40:13.479 Also, Riley Leonard, I think going to him is the 1:40:13.600 --> 1:40:16.639 right choice here. You know that Houston pass rush is career, 1:40:16.760 --> 1:40:20.639 fierce number one defense, and they just couldn't put Philip 1:40:20.840 --> 1:40:23.000 Rivers and Harms way. You know, he gave it a try. 1:40:23.560 --> 1:40:26.439 But this is a team that you know, coming out 1:40:26.479 --> 1:40:30.680 of the break and they just thrower and seven. They 1:40:30.720 --> 1:40:34.080 can't get the job done after thereby. So I think 1:40:34.200 --> 1:40:36.519 Riley Leonard is gonna be able to do enough to 1:40:36.760 --> 1:40:40.920 move the chains. I think Houston wins this game something 1:40:41.000 --> 1:40:47.120 like I think you take the points here in Indianapolis, 1:40:47.600 --> 1:40:50.120 They're they're setting you up. Don't fall for the scrap. 1:40:50.240 --> 1:40:54.639 Take the Colts here. Houston minus to points is a huge, big, 1:40:54.960 --> 1:40:55.559 big time. 1:40:55.479 --> 1:40:56.960 Trap play as far as I'm concerned. 1:40:57.600 --> 1:41:01.000 Lee another bigger spread this afternoon and another team that 1:41:01.120 --> 1:41:04.080 will be scoreboard watching the New England Patriots. I thought 1:41:04.120 --> 1:41:06.759 one of the most workmanlike wins of the NFL season 1:41:06.840 --> 1:41:10.320 last week with what Drake May did against that Jets defense. 1:41:10.880 --> 1:41:13.719 They host the Dolphins, the numbers eleven and a half. 1:41:13.840 --> 1:41:18.200 As we mentioned, Patriots are still playing for a lot 1:41:18.400 --> 1:41:20.800 here this NFL season. What do you make of the 1:41:20.880 --> 1:41:22.280 line and the Patriots Dolphins? 1:41:23.520 --> 1:41:28.480 Oh you you nailed it there, And I think the Dolphins, 1:41:28.560 --> 1:41:30.320 you know, it's a little bit of a farce. You 1:41:30.360 --> 1:41:32.560 look at the teams that they've beaten. They really have 1:41:32.760 --> 1:41:35.640 not beaten any good teams. 1:41:35.400 --> 1:41:38.439 Of late, so they just happened, you know, have to 1:41:38.520 --> 1:41:39.479 face some bad. 1:41:39.360 --> 1:41:42.639 Teams and to getting him out at a harm's way. 1:41:42.800 --> 1:41:45.519 He's not the future here, quinn Ewers. 1:41:45.640 --> 1:41:48.400 I think he's going to be a solid backup nothing more. 1:41:49.439 --> 1:41:52.479 New England gets that number one spot with a Denver 1:41:52.640 --> 1:41:55.400 loss here, and I think they're gonna build a lead here, 1:41:55.520 --> 1:41:58.800 maybe seventeen to twenty points by that time. 1:42:00.000 --> 1:42:02.560 He is the MVP in my opinion this year, and 1:42:03.880 --> 1:42:05.840 I think they end up, you know, taking their foot 1:42:05.880 --> 1:42:06.320 off the gas. 1:42:06.400 --> 1:42:08.040 But I think they're gonna be up so big here, 1:42:08.080 --> 1:42:10.800 and this might be the game here quinn Ewers where 1:42:10.840 --> 1:42:14.000 he throws three or four picks here and you finally 1:42:14.120 --> 1:42:17.280 realize he just can't take the next step. Also, a 1:42:17.479 --> 1:42:19.760 Chan is going to be out for Miami and he's 1:42:19.800 --> 1:42:23.200 been there driving force guys like Waddle. I mean, he 1:42:23.320 --> 1:42:26.479 gets he gets you. You virtually tackle the guy or 1:42:26.600 --> 1:42:28.720 touch him and he's out for the rest of the game. 1:42:28.800 --> 1:42:31.880 Seems like every game, So I like New England. Sometimes 1:42:31.880 --> 1:42:33.240 you gotta lay it if you want to play it. 1:42:33.640 --> 1:42:35.920 Patriots thirty four to thirteen. 1:42:35.880 --> 1:42:40.200 Winner take all tonight in the AFC North Baltimore at Pittsburgh. 1:42:40.280 --> 1:42:44.400 Steelers won't have DK Metcalf again. Steelers did win the 1:42:44.479 --> 1:42:47.360 first game in Baltimore, but they are getting points at 1:42:47.439 --> 1:42:48.000 home tonight. 1:42:48.080 --> 1:42:48.800 Lee, Who do we like? 1:42:49.960 --> 1:42:53.280 I mean, you look at who's on deck here for Pittsburgh. 1:42:53.320 --> 1:42:56.719 I mean Aaron Rodgers trying his best but only generated 1:42:56.800 --> 1:42:59.479 four point three yards per pass attempt against the Browns 1:42:59.560 --> 1:42:59.920 last week. 1:43:00.640 --> 1:43:03.240 Rogers has left throwing to a thirty five year old 1:43:03.320 --> 1:43:07.320 Adam feel and yeah, thirty one year old Marquez Valdez 1:43:07.360 --> 1:43:10.200 scandling tight end Darnell Washington. 1:43:10.320 --> 1:43:12.840 He was lost last week, but that broke an arm. 1:43:12.920 --> 1:43:16.439 DJs t K mecap really hurt his team here. And 1:43:16.600 --> 1:43:18.800 the defense, you know, they've got them great names, but 1:43:18.920 --> 1:43:20.839 you watch them, they're not getting the same production. 1:43:21.720 --> 1:43:24.680 Their pass rushers can't get off, you know, blocks like 1:43:24.760 --> 1:43:25.280 they used to. 1:43:25.439 --> 1:43:27.880 And guys can't make tackles in space like they used to. 1:43:28.000 --> 1:43:30.320 On the back end here, I like Baltimore. 1:43:30.360 --> 1:43:32.839 Whoever plays quarterback, I don't think it makes a difference. 1:43:33.680 --> 1:43:37.240 Lamar Jackson Bee starts great. You know, you know they 1:43:37.520 --> 1:43:40.400 I think that they're fine, they're more big play potential. 1:43:40.680 --> 1:43:42.160 I like Baltimore twenty seven to. 1:43:42.160 --> 1:43:46.000 Fourteen, twenty seven fourteen Ravens lay were in a new year, 1:43:46.280 --> 1:43:50.840 twenty twenty six.

So today's 1:44:43.760 --> 1:44:47.320 game that has gripped the entire Nation Lee the four 1:44:47.360 --> 1:44:50.160 to twelve Browns and the six and ten Bengals. Bengals 1:44:50.200 --> 1:44:53.000 are giving seven and a half. How do you handicap 1:44:53.120 --> 1:44:56.360 a game like this where you don't really know what 1:44:56.520 --> 1:44:59.840 the agenda is for each team. I would think this 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:01.280 is a tough one to handicap. 1:45:02.880 --> 1:45:06.240 It is, but I just have this feeling in watching 1:45:06.280 --> 1:45:09.439 Shador Sanders and he's shown some signs of being a 1:45:09.560 --> 1:45:13.040 capable NFL quarterback, but he's trying to force too many 1:45:13.160 --> 1:45:16.360 plays here with third and four string players all over 1:45:16.400 --> 1:45:19.760 the field. He's own seven interceptions in the last three 1:45:19.840 --> 1:45:23.720 weeks here, and you know, he's just Haunt launching some 1:45:23.880 --> 1:45:27.200 hail Mary's at some point. And you know, I think 1:45:27.240 --> 1:45:29.439 the key emphasis for them is they want to get 1:45:29.479 --> 1:45:30.840 Miles Garrett that sack here. 1:45:31.000 --> 1:45:33.280 So that's what losing franchises do. 1:45:33.880 --> 1:45:36.040 On the other side, is this going to be, you know, 1:45:36.240 --> 1:45:38.839 question mark Joe Burrow's last. 1:45:38.640 --> 1:45:40.160 Game is a Cincinnati Bengal. 1:45:40.240 --> 1:45:43.559 I personally don't think the top quarterbacks here that are 1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:46.439 in the draft coming out are game changers here for 1:45:46.520 --> 1:45:49.560 the Jets and the Raiders. So some teams, even like 1:45:49.640 --> 1:45:51.880 my Dolphins, might be in the market to trade for him. 1:45:51.920 --> 1:45:55.240 So he's sending out crypto vessages here, but I think 1:45:55.360 --> 1:45:58.200 he is laser focused. He wants to go out on 1:45:58.320 --> 1:46:00.400 top if it is his last game as a Bengal. 1:46:00.760 --> 1:46:02.840 If not, he wants to finish the season strong. 1:46:02.920 --> 1:46:03.840 And look what they've done. 1:46:04.320 --> 1:46:07.160 Uh, you know, over seventy percent covering against the spread 1:46:07.439 --> 1:46:08.400 when he starts here. 1:46:09.320 --> 1:46:14.880 Bengals victory here, thirty four to seven of the Browns Ley. 1:46:14.960 --> 1:46:17.920 You just you just gave sports talk radio something to 1:46:17.960 --> 1:46:22.800 talk about this week. Well, we'll see. I don't know. 1:46:24.280 --> 1:46:27.040 I hope it's not. I I tend to think it's not. 1:46:27.400 --> 1:46:29.320 I don't tend to think it's not. But you know, 1:46:29.680 --> 1:46:33.040 as they say, the only thing constant sports is change. 1:46:33.520 --> 1:46:36.320 Uh hey man, great stuff. As always.

Tony, 1:53:59.040 --> 1:54:01.920 who is your spot line player in this tilt today? 1:54:03.000 --> 1:54:06.080 Everyone on the offensive line for the Cincinnati Bengals. Because 1:54:06.120 --> 1:54:08.519 Miles Garrett's gonna probably go up against everyone on the 1:54:08.560 --> 1:54:11.000 offensive line, they are going to move Miles Garrett around 1:54:11.479 --> 1:54:14.040 to every single position on the defensive line to try 1:54:14.080 --> 1:54:17.040 to get him that sack record. It should never be 1:54:17.400 --> 1:54:20.360 a situation today where you are one on one with 1:54:20.439 --> 1:54:23.640 Miles Garrett. They should be offering help. They should keep 1:54:23.680 --> 1:54:24.160 it back end. 1:54:24.200 --> 1:54:27.120 They should bring Drew sample in, bring Cody Ford in, 1:54:27.200 --> 1:54:30.080 put him in the backfield. I don't care Miles Garrett's 1:54:30.080 --> 1:54:32.440 gonna move around today. It is the job of those 1:54:32.480 --> 1:54:34.440 offensive linemen to keep number nine upright. 1:54:35.320 --> 1:54:37.920 I'll put the spotlight on Chase Brown, who's fifty three 1:54:38.000 --> 1:54:41.400 yards away from his first one thousand yard season. He 1:54:41.600 --> 1:54:45.080 is one hundred and thirty four yards away from hitting 1:54:45.160 --> 1:54:48.760 the fifteen hundred yard mark from scrimmage. They've got an 1:54:48.840 --> 1:54:52.240 interesting decision to make this offseason about Chase Brown because 1:54:52.280 --> 1:54:55.640 he is a running back, and we all know how 1:54:55.680 --> 1:54:58.320 the league views running backs. We all know the investment 1:54:58.360 --> 1:55:00.440 the Bengals have made in their offensive way up and read. 1:55:00.480 --> 1:55:04.440 But he's a legitimate piece in this offense and it's 1:55:05.760 --> 1:55:08.080 they They have a lot of guys they have to 1:55:08.200 --> 1:55:11.080 go get, but they also have some decisions to make 1:55:11.120 --> 1:55:14.240 about players as a part of that twenty twenty three 1:55:14.360 --> 1:55:17.880 draft class. Miles Murphy is one of them. DJ Turner 1:55:18.040 --> 1:55:20.600 is one of them. Players that you want back next year, 1:55:20.760 --> 1:55:23.320 but are you willing to invest in them beyond next season. 1:55:23.760 --> 1:55:25.360 Chase Brown is one of them, but I'd like to 1:55:25.400 --> 1:55:27.200 see him hit that those two milestones today. 1:55:27.920 --> 1:55:30.440 Yeah, I think I think all those players are in 1:55:30.520 --> 1:55:33.480 the spotlight. Tony said the offensive line that players that 1:55:33.800 --> 1:55:37.320 have played well in the last three weeks against subpar teams, 1:55:38.000 --> 1:55:40.960 does that continue today and does that factor in more 1:55:41.000 --> 1:55:43.760 than it should in the offseason. Don't know about that. 1:55:43.840 --> 1:55:46.440 I'm gonna say, shad Or Sanders, he goes, I've seen 1:55:46.560 --> 1:55:49.680 enough quarterbacks that look like that it's their first day 1:55:49.720 --> 1:55:52.000 in long pants and come in here and beat the Bengals. 1:55:52.400 --> 1:55:54.840 I mean, you know, history, sure, so I want to 1:55:54.880 --> 1:55:57.640 see what this guy really is all about, probably as 1:55:57.760 --> 1:56:00.880 much as the general manager of the the Browns want 1:56:00.880 --> 1:56:03.080 to see what this guy is all about. Zach Taylor 1:56:03.200 --> 1:56:05.879 earlier this week on shad Or Sanders. 1:56:07.920 --> 1:56:10.520 You know, I'm never gonna call myself a Colorado fan, 1:56:10.680 --> 1:56:12.120 and I was watching their games, you know, as a 1:56:12.200 --> 1:56:15.320 Nebraska guy. So you know, I thought that he did 1:56:15.360 --> 1:56:18.840 a great job, you know, and collaboration with a lot 1:56:18.880 --> 1:56:20.840 of other people that that really did a great job 1:56:21.000 --> 1:56:24.200 at Colorado. And so then for him to come in 1:56:24.200 --> 1:56:25.880 the league and as a rookie have success, I think 1:56:25.880 --> 1:56:28.000 it's really impressive. And so again we've got a tough 1:56:28.000 --> 1:56:29.280 task in front of us, and he's done a real 1:56:29.320 --> 1:56:32.200 good job, and he's got confidence, he's he's obviously got 1:56:32.240 --> 1:56:34.600 a lot of reps inter his belt now and he's 1:56:34.640 --> 1:56:35.760 been a lot of plays for these guys. 1:56:36.880 --> 1:56:38.960 So that's our spotlight player of the week. 1:56:39.600 --> 1:56:40.720 Dian'll be at the game today. 1:56:41.640 --> 1:56:44.800 Why wouldn't it be? I would? I would my son 1:56:44.880 --> 1:56:47.240 was quarterback in an NFL team and my team wasn't playing, 1:56:47.240 --> 1:56:49.839 I'd be at every game. One might practice. 1:56:49.960 --> 1:56:52.680 One might argue, with the transfer portal open that Dion 1:56:52.760 --> 1:56:55.680 would be best serve upgrading what was a bad roster 1:56:55.800 --> 1:56:57.960 at Colorado this year. But no, you've put the staffs 1:56:58.000 --> 1:57:00.440 for certainly blame him for coming to watch this way. 1:57:00.440 --> 1:57:02.920 I could see that too, But still a pretty big deal. 1:57:02.880 --> 1:57:04.560 No doubt about it. Then, But Dion back in the 1:57:04.640 --> 1:57:06.360 town where he played ball, it's coming, or he could 1:57:06.360 --> 1:57:14.120 have played football, they Mike brim Ah, My goodness. 1:57:14.560 --> 1:57:17.120 Either the The other thing I think I want to 1:57:17.160 --> 1:57:21.080 talk about at this point is whether or not Garrett 1:57:21.120 --> 1:57:24.400 does get the sack record and whether or not regardless 1:57:24.400 --> 1:57:28.240 of where they play him. Uh, does he just get 1:57:28.320 --> 1:57:30.600 the record or does he have a multiple sack day? 1:57:30.640 --> 1:57:32.200 If you had to make money on it, which you 1:57:32.320 --> 1:57:34.720 can on any website, what would you do, Tony. 1:57:35.480 --> 1:57:38.960 I would say that he gets the record. You you 1:57:39.040 --> 1:57:41.800 want to talk about it. He's already got an unbelievable motor. Yeah, 1:57:41.880 --> 1:57:44.600 you're talking about it, the motor of Miles Garrett today 1:57:44.680 --> 1:57:48.120 understanding this is his last opportunity and who knows if 1:57:48.160 --> 1:57:50.200 you ever get this opportunity again to at your name 1:57:51.480 --> 1:57:53.120 in the record books in a single season. 1:57:53.800 --> 1:57:56.640 I can't imagine what his get off is going to 1:57:56.640 --> 1:57:58.560 be like today. How many sat? How many does he 1:57:58.640 --> 1:58:00.560 get today? Yeah? To pay you had to pick a 1:58:00.640 --> 1:58:03.040 number the over under on sacks. I would set the 1:58:03.080 --> 1:58:04.720 over under at one and a half and I'd probably 1:58:04.760 --> 1:58:06.520 say over. I'd probably put him at two. 1:58:06.960 --> 1:58:10.200 Especially man for last week was held sackless. I think 1:58:10.280 --> 1:58:15.240 he gets to today when he talked about this already. 1:58:15.280 --> 1:58:17.160 It just if I had to see him get too 1:58:17.160 --> 1:58:19.360 against Jake brown If I was in charge, he'd be 1:58:19.440 --> 1:58:21.720 sacking Jake Browning or a guy off the street, not 1:58:21.880 --> 1:58:27.880 Joe Burrow. Zach Taylor called him the best defensive player 1:58:27.880 --> 1:58:30.400 in football, and I agree with that. I think about 1:58:30.440 --> 1:58:33.280 like when he got drafted, there was this boise. He 1:58:33.720 --> 1:58:36.720 has got other interests. He's into other things. He likes dinosaurs. 1:58:37.040 --> 1:58:39.240 Is he really going to be committed to football? Boy? 1:58:39.360 --> 1:58:41.000 How dumb do those folks though? Exactly? 1:58:42.800 --> 1:58:42.840 So? 1:58:43.040 --> 1:58:51.960 You got Miles, Garrett, Max Crosby, Trey Hendrickson. I'm just 1:58:52.040 --> 1:58:55.400 wondering these big offseason contracts that and Hendrickson. We know 1:58:55.520 --> 1:58:58.160 his story wasn't a contract, it was in an extension. 1:58:58.200 --> 1:59:01.280 Arenegotiated extension. But the fact that the matter is, did 1:59:01.320 --> 1:59:04.120 the Bengals make the right decision with Hendrickson knowing what 1:59:04.280 --> 1:59:06.640 happened to him this season, knowing that they don't like 1:59:06.720 --> 1:59:10.000 to gamble with players over thirty years old? You look 1:59:10.040 --> 1:59:13.600 at Garrett, Terripic, Crosby got hurt. Did they make the 1:59:13.720 --> 1:59:14.720 right decision? Yes? 1:59:15.200 --> 1:59:16.720 I think the answers are yes and no. 1:59:16.840 --> 1:59:20.200 I think as it relates to twenty twenty six and beyond, 1:59:20.320 --> 1:59:24.280 you're seeing why they hesitated. He's an older player who 1:59:24.400 --> 1:59:26.839 runs the risk of injury. He has been very durable, 1:59:26.920 --> 1:59:30.360 but the older you advance, the more likely you are 1:59:30.440 --> 1:59:32.760 to suffer injury, and that's why they didn't invest in 1:59:32.840 --> 1:59:35.800 him beyond twenty twenty five. I just wonder what it 1:59:35.840 --> 1:59:39.840 would have looked like had they traded him when the 1:59:39.920 --> 1:59:42.960 offseason really got underway. Last year, what could they have 1:59:43.160 --> 1:59:45.680 gotten and what would that look like for this year's team? 1:59:45.720 --> 1:59:48.520 And beyond well, there was no way on God's green earth, 1:59:48.600 --> 1:59:50.440 as far as I could see, that anybody was going 1:59:50.480 --> 1:59:52.560 to give up two first round draft picks for Trey 1:59:52.640 --> 1:59:56.080 Henderson and even at the deadline they probably could have 1:59:56.160 --> 1:59:59.040 gotten somewhere early second day pick. 2:00:00.440 --> 2:00:03.720 It also becomes one of the one of the top 2:00:04.120 --> 2:00:07.720 talking points after today's game. Facis because as much as 2:00:08.320 --> 2:00:09.920 do you pay him, do you not pay him? It 2:00:10.040 --> 2:00:13.320 was the distraction that came along with Trey Hendrickson that 2:00:13.480 --> 2:00:15.360 became more of an issue. He held his own press 2:00:15.480 --> 2:00:17.040 conference in golf attire. 2:00:17.120 --> 2:00:19.640 At Bengals training camp. It was a back and forth 2:00:19.680 --> 2:00:20.720 all off season, right. 2:00:20.920 --> 2:00:23.320 The one thing we talked about the way this roster 2:00:23.440 --> 2:00:25.840 needs to be constructed in the offseason. They've got to 2:00:25.880 --> 2:00:28.360 find a way to eliminate all the other distractions over 2:00:28.400 --> 2:00:31.760 the court and Shamar Stewart distraction, the Trey Hendrickson distraction. 2:00:32.080 --> 2:00:33.440 They've got to be able to just get back to 2:00:33.480 --> 2:00:35.960 football and building this roster and eliminate the rest. 2:00:36.120 --> 2:00:38.400 I agree, we got to take a break. You're listening 2:00:38.480 --> 2:00:40.840 to the RNL carriers pregame show Live from the Holy 2:00:40.880 --> 2:00:42.800 Grail on the banks of the Mighty Ohio.

I'm Sandy Collins 2:01:18.000 --> 2:01:22.760 breaking now.

Homeland Security Secretary Mark or 2:01:33.680 --> 2:01:36.520 Rubio came on ABC's This Week This Morning to dive 2:01:36.560 --> 2:01:39.480 deeper into that mission and see what comes next. Secretary 2:01:39.600 --> 2:01:42.680 Rubio explained why they chose not to see congressional authority 2:01:42.760 --> 2:01:44.240 before moving ahead with this mission. 2:01:44.720 --> 2:01:46.840 It wasn't necessary because this is not an invasion. We 2:01:46.920 --> 2:01:49.480 didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation. This 2:01:49.600 --> 2:01:52.200 is a law enforcement operation.

With Tony Pike and Mowager, I 2:09:49.480 --> 2:09:52.360 am ken Brew. Joe Burrow this week says, you know what, 2:09:52.760 --> 2:09:55.480 I'm just a quarterback. I don't want to be a 2:09:55.600 --> 2:09:58.160 general manager. Here he is on that thought. 2:09:59.320 --> 2:10:02.640 I want to be a I don't want to want 2:10:02.640 --> 2:10:03.920 to work in the front office. I don't want to 2:10:03.920 --> 2:10:10.800 be scouting guys in the offseason. I want to do 2:10:10.840 --> 2:10:12.080 what I do, and I want to do it at 2:10:12.120 --> 2:10:14.600 a high level when I have and I'm going to 2:10:14.640 --> 2:10:17.240 continue to find more and more ways that I can 2:10:18.920 --> 2:10:21.240 help myself get better, help the team get better, and 2:10:21.480 --> 2:10:22.680 put ourselves in good positions. 2:10:23.200 --> 2:10:27.240 He has the ear of management and ownership. Tony, what 2:10:27.320 --> 2:10:30.760 do you think he says about this team this year 2:10:31.360 --> 2:10:34.840 to ownership, about what it needs for next year to 2:10:34.920 --> 2:10:36.040 be unlike this year. 2:10:36.200 --> 2:10:38.800 I think he's said it already a lot in how 2:10:38.880 --> 2:10:41.600 he's handled press conferences over the last month or so 2:10:42.520 --> 2:10:45.000 of this season. I think it's very clear that the 2:10:45.080 --> 2:10:48.680 defense isn't good enough, and quite frankly, it shouldn't take 2:10:48.760 --> 2:10:51.200 Jill Burrow having to go to them and say, hey, 2:10:51.280 --> 2:10:53.280 the defense isn't good enough. That should be something that's 2:10:53.400 --> 2:10:58.560 obvious to everybody. I think the GM conversation is interesting because, 2:10:58.560 --> 2:11:01.480 as we've talked about off air at time, there isn't 2:11:01.480 --> 2:11:04.600 really a GM role with the Cincinnati Bengals. 2:11:04.680 --> 2:11:07.560 So he mentions not wanting to be a GM who. 2:11:07.600 --> 2:11:11.120 Is going to step up and take that role, because 2:11:11.840 --> 2:11:14.080 more than any year in the past, Zach Taylor has 2:11:14.120 --> 2:11:17.400 taken a lot of criticism from Bengals fans and even 2:11:17.440 --> 2:11:20.840 from myself a lot. Duke Tobin has been under more fire, 2:11:20.880 --> 2:11:23.600 I feel like this season than he has in quite 2:11:23.680 --> 2:11:29.280 some time, and deservedly so. And I think that if 2:11:29.400 --> 2:11:31.600 Joe Burrow is taking a true serum that's probably the 2:11:31.640 --> 2:11:34.360 biggest thing right now is the decisions that are being 2:11:34.400 --> 2:11:37.160 made about the personnel via the draft and via free 2:11:37.200 --> 2:11:38.200 agency have to get better. 2:11:38.280 --> 2:11:41.000 I think it's going to be interesting in five weeks 2:11:41.120 --> 2:11:43.560 or whenever it is, when Joe Burrow makes the round 2:11:43.640 --> 2:11:47.240 at the Super Bowl, because last year he starts on 2:11:47.400 --> 2:11:50.120 the the t Higgins thing calls him in need did 2:11:50.240 --> 2:11:54.000 that in Dallas on Monday night in December, but it 2:11:54.160 --> 2:11:57.080 continued and Joe goes to the Super Bowl, one of 2:11:57.120 --> 2:12:00.360 the most highly sought after guests as you can imagine, 2:12:00.400 --> 2:12:04.280 representing you know, whichever brands, and was asked repeatedly about 2:12:05.000 --> 2:12:11.320 the roster. T Higgins, Trey Hendrickson, Mike GASICKI. I would 2:12:11.360 --> 2:12:13.960 imagine Joe is going to make the rounds again. I 2:12:14.000 --> 2:12:17.240 would also imagine he is going to be asked, are 2:12:17.360 --> 2:12:21.240 things cool with you in the Bengals? Because we saw 2:12:21.360 --> 2:12:24.800 two performances for lack of a better termament press conferences 2:12:24.880 --> 2:12:28.640 here that have made people think things aren't cool with 2:12:28.720 --> 2:12:31.280 him in the Bengals. Maybe they are, but I think 2:12:31.320 --> 2:12:33.120 it's going to be interesting when he is pressed. I 2:12:33.160 --> 2:12:35.120 would assume he is going to make the rounds again 2:12:35.520 --> 2:12:38.360 and going all the major shows, going all the big podcasts. 2:12:38.560 --> 2:12:38.760 YEP. 2:12:38.960 --> 2:12:42.160 I would imagine he is going to be pressed about 2:12:42.440 --> 2:12:44.800 his relationship with the Bengals. I think it's going to 2:12:44.840 --> 2:12:47.720 be really interesting to see and hear how he answers 2:12:47.720 --> 2:12:48.240 those questions. 2:12:48.360 --> 2:12:51.760 I did a segment going in for Willie on Friday. 2:12:52.440 --> 2:12:55.440 It was it was a survey that this this woman, 2:12:55.640 --> 2:12:59.560 Lisa Miller did with gen Zers and Burrow is fringe 2:12:59.600 --> 2:13:02.520 gen Z. I mean, he's right there, neither one of 2:13:02.560 --> 2:13:06.280 you guys or gen Z. But the survey is what 2:13:06.840 --> 2:13:10.160 do you want to be more of in twenty twenty six? 2:13:10.400 --> 2:13:13.160 And overwhelming it was I want to be happy? What 2:13:13.240 --> 2:13:15.680 did Burrows say it as last news conference? What's your 2:13:15.720 --> 2:13:19.640 new year's resolution? Be happy? I think that's my point 2:13:19.680 --> 2:13:22.600 being is he's not that much more different than other 2:13:22.680 --> 2:13:26.040 people of that age group in any other walk of life. 2:13:26.120 --> 2:13:28.200 I think that's the number one thing and what makes 2:13:28.320 --> 2:13:31.240 what makes a player happy. It's not necessarily money. It's 2:13:31.320 --> 2:13:33.440 a chance to succeed in what you're doing. And I 2:13:33.560 --> 2:13:36.200 think that light bulb has got to go off in 2:13:36.320 --> 2:13:39.440 that front office because if you're that generation, no matter 2:13:39.480 --> 2:13:41.680 what you're doing, you're not happy, You're not going to 2:13:41.720 --> 2:13:42.240 do it anymore. 2:13:42.400 --> 2:13:45.320 I don't even necessarily think that that is a generational thing. 2:13:45.440 --> 2:13:46.320 What human being? 2:13:46.600 --> 2:13:48.680 Well it was a gen Z serch, sure, but what 2:13:49.440 --> 2:13:53.400 human being six seven years into a career doesn't go Okay? 2:13:53.600 --> 2:13:55.200 Have I gotten out of this as much as I 2:13:55.400 --> 2:13:57.800 hope for? And will I get out of it? What 2:13:57.920 --> 2:14:00.760 I'm looking for if I stay in it? He only 2:14:00.800 --> 2:14:03.400 has so much control over where he goes in the 2:14:03.440 --> 2:14:06.600 coming years. But let's say the Bengals won the Super 2:14:06.600 --> 2:14:08.880 Bowl this year. Let's say they win it next year. 2:14:08.960 --> 2:14:11.960 At some point here soon the Bengals will come to 2:14:12.080 --> 2:14:14.720 him and say, let's do a contract extension now. If 2:14:14.720 --> 2:14:18.200 they're winning and everybody's having fun, the deal gets done. 2:14:18.920 --> 2:14:22.200 I think it will be interesting if the losing continues. 2:14:22.720 --> 2:14:25.120 When they come to him and say, hey, we'd like 2:14:25.200 --> 2:14:28.000 to extend this into the next decade. Does he say 2:14:28.360 --> 2:14:32.280 not so fast? And I am over the psychoanalysis of 2:14:32.360 --> 2:14:35.240 Joe Burrow just like most, but I do understand his 2:14:35.320 --> 2:14:38.200 importance to the team, and I do understand that after 2:14:38.320 --> 2:14:41.760 not making the postseason in three consecutive years, that you 2:14:41.920 --> 2:14:46.120 do not want to extend this to next November, December, January, 2:14:46.520 --> 2:14:48.720 or we're talking about the Bengals being on the outside 2:14:48.800 --> 2:14:52.200 looking in, Joe not having another chance to win a championship, 2:14:52.440 --> 2:14:56.800 another year of his prime wasted. Don't tempt fake act 2:14:56.880 --> 2:15:00.400 with urgency. Get this guy back to the postseason, Give 2:15:00.440 --> 2:15:02.520 this guy a chance to play on the biggest stages, 2:15:03.160 --> 2:15:05.480 and I'm guessing at that point the future will take 2:15:05.480 --> 2:15:06.080 care of itself. 2:15:06.080 --> 2:15:09.600 And if so, if it is different, does the offseason, 2:15:09.640 --> 2:15:13.200 which starts four o'clock today, does that become different? 2:15:13.440 --> 2:15:15.920 Do we hear from Duke Tobin earlier than we normally do. 2:15:16.040 --> 2:15:19.040 Does Duke Tobin or someone make a statement on hey, 2:15:19.120 --> 2:15:21.880 this year wasn't what we wanted to be, but we're 2:15:21.920 --> 2:15:23.960 gonna attack this offseason in a way that we've never 2:15:24.080 --> 2:15:26.440 done before. Like and I know that's just words, but 2:15:27.240 --> 2:15:29.400 still something different I think would go a long way 2:15:29.440 --> 2:15:31.160 of Hey, it's not going to be the same old, 2:15:31.200 --> 2:15:34.360 same old off season. This year wasn't good enough, Last 2:15:34.440 --> 2:15:36.480 year wasn't good enough, and we'll be damn if it's 2:15:36.480 --> 2:15:38.680 gonna If it's gonna continue, we're making a change and. 2:15:38.720 --> 2:15:41.120 It starts right now. If you don't hear that, then 2:15:41.560 --> 2:15:44.200 you know they don't care, right. You gotta hear that. 2:15:44.360 --> 2:15:47.320 There's gotta be some sort of statement other than oh, 2:15:47.360 --> 2:15:49.840 by the way, we're raising your season ticket. It's gonna 2:15:49.840 --> 2:15:51.280 be more of a statement than Zach Taylor doing it 2:15:51.320 --> 2:15:53.640 after the game. Exactly. Let's take a look at how 2:15:53.680 --> 2:15:56.480 every piece is important, because every piece is important when 2:15:56.520 --> 2:16:00.800 you're talking about dominoes, that is the official piece of 2:16:00.920 --> 2:16:04.440 the Bengals Tony what piece is important in this game? Today? 2:16:04.600 --> 2:16:10.160 I will line up DJ Turner Dax Hill on a 2:16:10.200 --> 2:16:12.960 game like this. Fannon is out for the Cleveland Browns. 2:16:13.440 --> 2:16:18.160 Judkins is out for the Cleveland Browns. The I don't 2:16:18.160 --> 2:16:20.080 even know if you call a playmaker. Still at this point, 2:16:20.120 --> 2:16:22.440 they still have Jerry Judy, And if I'm sure Door 2:16:22.520 --> 2:16:24.880 Sanders and I don't have my top target and in 2:16:24.960 --> 2:16:27.400 my top ball carrier, I would say, Okay, how do 2:16:27.480 --> 2:16:29.120 I find ways to get Jerry Judy the ball? 2:16:29.560 --> 2:16:31.440 That comes down to DJ Turner and Dax Hill. 2:16:32.640 --> 2:16:35.600 So I'll make this about next season for the first 2:16:35.640 --> 2:16:37.720 time in quite a while. The season comes to an 2:16:37.840 --> 2:16:40.240 end and you could look at the Bengals offensive line 2:16:40.280 --> 2:16:42.680 and go, that's the group I want next year. It's 2:16:42.720 --> 2:16:45.600 been a decade since you could say that, right, It 2:16:45.640 --> 2:16:47.240 has been a decade since at the end of the 2:16:47.280 --> 2:16:50.000 season he said I want those five guys back. And 2:16:50.080 --> 2:16:53.520 there's fair conversations to have about the long term future 2:16:53.600 --> 2:16:55.080 of Orlando. 2:16:54.760 --> 2:16:57.080 Brown or are they gonna move a Marius Mims. 2:16:56.879 --> 2:16:59.360 To left tackle. You can never have enough offensive lineman. 2:17:00.040 --> 2:17:01.880 But the five guys they have right now, that's a 2:17:01.879 --> 2:17:05.920 pretty good offensive line. Dalton Reisner has said, I want. 2:17:05.760 --> 2:17:06.240 To be back. 2:17:07.040 --> 2:17:10.320 Brought this up before.

A few others questionable Over 2:21:00.280 --> 2:21:05.880 the Browns, They've got a number of players that are questionable, 2:21:06.040 --> 2:21:11.000 but their their biggest one really would be uh Fan 2:21:11.240 --> 2:21:14.120 and Junior Harold Fannin junior, Yeah, a good young player. 2:21:14.200 --> 2:21:16.640 I'm just looking at the other ones that are outer questionable, 2:21:16.680 --> 2:21:19.000 and I don't think it's going to change the fate 2:21:19.040 --> 2:21:21.880 of the pre world anyway. That is today's Postman injury 2:21:21.959 --> 2:21:24.959 report brought to you by Postman law injured call eight 2:21:25.040 --> 2:21:27.520 four four Postman. Others promise Postman delivery. 2:21:27.560 --> 2:21:32.680 If you look at some of the contract numbers speculation 2:21:32.800 --> 2:21:35.680 of it out there, the numbers being thrown around for 2:21:35.800 --> 2:21:39.680 Joseph Osai are around fourteen to sixteen million dollars? Are 2:21:39.760 --> 2:21:43.880 you willing to buy back into Joseph osaih With what 2:21:43.959 --> 2:21:44.560 you've seen. 2:21:44.440 --> 2:21:46.480 I'll ask you is how different is see than Carl 2:21:46.560 --> 2:21:49.640 Lawson Junior and his talent and in his delivery. Oh, 2:21:49.680 --> 2:21:52.600 that's a great question. It's a good comparison, and it's 2:21:52.640 --> 2:21:55.320 a guy who has not been able to stay healthy 2:21:55.400 --> 2:21:59.080 consistently top end. You love what you see? Yeah, you've 2:21:59.120 --> 2:22:02.440 just not seen that game in game out. Someone will 2:22:02.520 --> 2:22:03.199 offer him. 2:22:04.560 --> 2:22:07.400 A good amount in a contract because of upside, because 2:22:07.400 --> 2:22:09.880 he's still young. If you're the Bengals and you have 2:22:10.640 --> 2:22:13.400 so many decisions to make and that is a position 2:22:13.520 --> 2:22:16.080 of need, how much are you looking into it Joseph Osai? 2:22:16.280 --> 2:22:18.760 So the Karl laws In comparison is interesting to me 2:22:18.879 --> 2:22:21.160 because I think as a player there's something there. Also, 2:22:21.320 --> 2:22:23.880 the Bengals said no to Carl Lawson and brought in 2:22:23.959 --> 2:22:27.120 Trey Hendrickson. Sure, who's this year's version of Trey Hendrickson. 2:22:27.160 --> 2:22:30.080 Trey Hendrickson was not the biggest name available in free agency. 2:22:30.200 --> 2:22:32.720 Trey was a guy who a lot of folks wondered, 2:22:32.760 --> 2:22:34.480 you know, in New Orleans that last year did he 2:22:34.600 --> 2:22:36.960 just pile up a bunch of meaningless sacks? Is he 2:22:37.040 --> 2:22:40.960 any good against the run? So you know, we brought 2:22:41.000 --> 2:22:43.480 this up before as it relates to the draft, Hey, 2:22:43.520 --> 2:22:46.720 let's not take Jermaine Burton because we can get this guy. 2:22:47.160 --> 2:22:50.480 How about let's not pay Joseph o'side because there is 2:22:50.600 --> 2:22:54.920 this free agent that is maybe a year away from 2:22:55.480 --> 2:22:57.720 bursting on the scene that you can get for cheaper. Owen, 2:22:57.760 --> 2:23:00.520 by the way, Miles Murphy had a product of twenty 2:23:00.680 --> 2:23:03.920 twenty five, and we still believe in Shamar Stewart. I 2:23:04.080 --> 2:23:06.160 think I would be willing to let Joseph a side 2:23:06.200 --> 2:23:07.480 walk just because I think. 2:23:07.320 --> 2:23:08.800 There's a team that's gonna overpay him. 2:23:09.200 --> 2:23:11.920 But you better have an alternative. And when it has 2:23:12.000 --> 2:23:14.680 come to watching players leave over the last three or 2:23:14.720 --> 2:23:18.680 four seasons, they have rarely had, either in house or 2:23:18.760 --> 2:23:20.880 from elsewhere, a viable alternative. 2:23:21.080 --> 2:23:23.119 All Right, a couple of games it't matter. Let's start 2:23:23.160 --> 2:23:25.879 with New Orleans Atlanta because that will dictate who wins 2:23:25.920 --> 2:23:29.120 the NFC South Atlanta at home, giving three and a half. 2:23:29.200 --> 2:23:34.120 If Atlanta wins, Atlanta is and is. I think the 2:23:34.200 --> 2:23:36.360 way the math works, I know Tampa is. 2:23:36.360 --> 2:23:39.920 Out at where Carolina is in. If wins, the Buffs 2:23:39.920 --> 2:23:41.360 are Yeah, how does this one go? 2:23:41.600 --> 2:23:42.040 I'll tell you what. 2:23:42.280 --> 2:23:45.199 In a season of questions for some of these teams, 2:23:45.800 --> 2:23:48.760 the Saints have their quarterback in the future now, Saints 2:23:48.800 --> 2:23:51.640 playing without Olave today, They've lost Kamara along the way, 2:23:51.800 --> 2:23:55.200 but I still give them a fighting chance, just because 2:23:56.240 --> 2:23:58.760 I don't know which version of Kirk Cousins I'm gonna get. 2:23:58.800 --> 2:24:01.800 I know that Lunch and Kyle Pitch we're both questionable. 2:24:02.120 --> 2:24:05.360 They do have Bejon Robinson. They have built this up 2:24:06.200 --> 2:24:08.520 in Atlanta this week in a big way. They have 2:24:08.600 --> 2:24:11.360 built this up that they want to win this and 2:24:11.480 --> 2:24:14.080 get that momentum going into the offseason coming off a 2:24:14.080 --> 2:24:15.039 big win against the Rams. 2:24:15.040 --> 2:24:15.880 I'll take the Falcons. 2:24:16.000 --> 2:24:18.039 I just think the number is a little bit too hefty. 2:24:18.360 --> 2:24:21.240 Chuck is playing really well for the Saints. Atlanta's playing 2:24:21.280 --> 2:24:23.440 well as a team right now. But I'll take the 2:24:23.480 --> 2:24:24.680 three and a half Gamino Orleans. 2:24:24.879 --> 2:24:27.320 I want to jump over to a later, gain much 2:24:27.400 --> 2:24:31.080 later game, Chargers in Denver, Denver giving fourteen and a half. 2:24:31.240 --> 2:24:33.240 I'm sorry, fourteen is now the line on this one. 2:24:33.320 --> 2:24:35.880 That's a hefty number for a game that you know, 2:24:36.040 --> 2:24:38.800 Denver is Denver's got to win. Denver wins. They're the 2:24:38.879 --> 2:24:41.120 number one seed in the AFC, which is odd because 2:24:41.640 --> 2:24:42.080 we talk. 2:24:41.959 --> 2:24:43.600 About Coach of the Year, no one really brings up 2:24:43.640 --> 2:24:46.880 Sean Payton, talk about AFC contenders, no one really starts 2:24:46.920 --> 2:24:49.640 with the Denver Broncos. Here they are in a position 2:24:49.920 --> 2:24:52.760 to be the number one overall seed. Trey Lance is 2:24:52.800 --> 2:24:56.480 starting for the Chargers. This game doesn't mean anything for them. 2:24:57.120 --> 2:24:59.879 I will take at home. I'll take Denver laying. 2:24:59.640 --> 2:25:02.840 A big Chargers are gonna be the seven correct ye, 2:25:03.360 --> 2:25:07.160 so lay down effort by Jim Harball where he basically 2:25:07.240 --> 2:25:10.480 has started preparing for New England this week. They'll play 2:25:10.520 --> 2:25:12.920 New England. If they lose, they will and it won't 2:25:12.959 --> 2:25:13.360 be closed. 2:25:13.400 --> 2:25:17.119 Give me the Broncos. Okay, and obviously the game tonight 2:25:17.240 --> 2:25:20.480 Baltimore Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh getting three and a half at home. 2:25:20.680 --> 2:25:24.039 We talked a little bit about this. Don't matter who 2:25:24.080 --> 2:25:27.640 starts at quarterback, they're gonna pound the running back. So 2:25:27.720 --> 2:25:30.480 I'm just guessing you guys are gonna go with Baltimore. 2:25:31.560 --> 2:25:35.800 Yeah, no, DK Metcalf. That offense is shaky when he's healthy, 2:25:36.280 --> 2:25:38.160 take him out. You saw what it looked like last 2:25:38.160 --> 2:25:43.840 week against against Cleveland. My guess is John Harball isn't 2:25:43.959 --> 2:25:47.280 so dumb that he gets away from last week's formula. 2:25:47.840 --> 2:25:50.400 They go on the road, they cover the number, they 2:25:50.520 --> 2:25:53.960 beat Pittsburgh, and they they send Mike Tomlin into a 2:25:54.120 --> 2:25:55.000 lame duck season. 2:25:55.360 --> 2:25:58.520 You know, it's interesting because they don't have Darnau Washington 2:25:58.600 --> 2:25:59.720 in this one either. I don't know how I am 2:25:59.760 --> 2:26:01.440 Rodge are gonna get it done. If not for game 2:26:01.520 --> 2:26:05.480 Well and Warren, this though, would be the most Mike 2:26:05.560 --> 2:26:08.160 Tomlin win of all. Yeah, where it just feels like 2:26:08.400 --> 2:26:11.080 they've rolled over, they're done. Stick a fork in him 2:26:11.080 --> 2:26:12.840 and he finds a way to win it. That being said, 2:26:13.640 --> 2:26:16.440 Baltimore finds a way to sneak in and in a 2:26:16.560 --> 2:26:20.600 wide open AFC MO if Lamar gets healthy into the playoffs, 2:26:21.000 --> 2:26:23.240 still a team that can make some noise. Yeah, it 2:26:23.360 --> 2:26:26.480 was a team a preseason co favorites betting wise to 2:26:26.520 --> 2:26:28.760 win the AFC and go to the Super Bowl. If 2:26:28.800 --> 2:26:31.920 they sneak in, they become a much more dangerous option 2:26:32.000 --> 2:26:33.000 than the Pittsburgh Steelers. 2:26:33.240 --> 2:26:36.560 Let's go lightning round head coach's stability. Gotta make it 2:26:36.680 --> 2:26:41.920 quick Miami, new coach or same old, same old. I'll 2:26:41.920 --> 2:26:42.560 say new coach. 2:26:42.959 --> 2:26:45.720 I'll say same old because they already sacrifice the GM. 2:26:46.160 --> 2:26:49.360 Aaron Glenn of New York stable or unstable. I think 2:26:49.400 --> 2:26:50.560 they'll give him one more year. 2:26:50.640 --> 2:26:53.400 Side stat with the Jets on pace to be the 2:26:53.440 --> 2:26:56.640 first team ever to finish the season with zero team interceptions. 2:26:56.920 --> 2:26:58.760 If they don't get one today, it's the Jets. So 2:26:58.840 --> 2:27:01.760 who knows? Absolutely all right? The Browns. I think this 2:27:02.040 --> 2:27:05.720 is Kevin Stefanski swan song with with the Browns. But 2:27:05.840 --> 2:27:09.560 he'll pop up somewhere else. Yes, moving on, Yes, okay, 2:27:09.640 --> 2:27:13.040 moving on. Tennessee already has moved on, so they'll have 2:27:13.080 --> 2:27:16.840 a new head coach. I think it's interesting in Vegas. 2:27:17.280 --> 2:27:19.720 What are you do in Vegas? I just saw where 2:27:19.840 --> 2:27:22.520 Schefter said there's going to have there that they're gonna 2:27:22.560 --> 2:27:23.959 move on for Pete Carroll. What do you think? 2:27:24.080 --> 2:27:25.600 I think you have to you're gonna have the number 2:27:25.600 --> 2:27:28.560 one overall pick. Are you gonna start that new rebuild 2:27:29.040 --> 2:27:29.800 with Pete Carroll? 2:27:30.040 --> 2:27:32.640 It's interesting during one of our breaks on ESPN, they 2:27:32.720 --> 2:27:35.440 showed the names of like the hottest coaching candidates. A 2:27:35.480 --> 2:27:38.400 lot of Redreads, a lot of Vans, Joseph's, a lot 2:27:38.440 --> 2:27:41.240 of Matt Naggi's, a lot of guys that you're like, eh, 2:27:41.680 --> 2:27:44.640 I think that maybe buys Pete Carroll another season. That 2:27:44.760 --> 2:27:48.119 maybe buys some of these guys one more season, because 2:27:48.120 --> 2:27:51.120 there just doesn't feel like there's that guy that the 2:27:51.200 --> 2:27:53.120 rest of the league covets as a head coach. 2:27:53.120 --> 2:27:54.600 I'll tell you when you know you're old. On that 2:27:54.720 --> 2:27:58.760 same list was Chris Shula, now you know, and Jesse 2:27:58.920 --> 2:28:03.960 Minter Atlanta. This is an interesting study in Atlanta. Blank 2:28:04.120 --> 2:28:05.840 was ready to pull the trigger down there. What do 2:28:05.879 --> 2:28:09.360 you think, Tony? I still think you give him another year? 2:28:09.520 --> 2:28:12.680 More so because of what Moe just described in the 2:28:12.800 --> 2:28:14.879 names that are floating out there, Atlanta's had to figure 2:28:14.879 --> 2:28:15.480 out quarterback. 2:28:15.520 --> 2:28:17.240 They have some they have some talent on that roster. 2:28:17.400 --> 2:28:19.560 I like Raheem Morris, seems like a fun guy to 2:28:19.600 --> 2:28:23.040 play for. They've got to start fresh at quarterback, so 2:28:23.120 --> 2:28:24.480 I wouldn't start fresh at head. 2:28:24.360 --> 2:28:27.800 Coach Tampa, which I still don't know how Todd Bowles 2:28:27.879 --> 2:28:31.040 keeps his job. He's this this defensive guru, and their 2:28:31.280 --> 2:28:34.720 defense the last eight weeks it's been a fire drove. 2:28:35.000 --> 2:28:37.480 Their secondary is horrible. I know they've lost some players. 2:28:38.920 --> 2:28:41.160 Tampa may very well get in the playoffs. We'll see 2:28:41.160 --> 2:28:42.879 how today plays out. But Tony, what do you think. 2:28:43.720 --> 2:28:47.920 I still think he's safe. I think it's been a 2:28:48.000 --> 2:28:50.600 lot of the offense too, that the inconsistencies of Baker 2:28:50.680 --> 2:28:52.960 Mayfield have hurt that team down the stretch, as well 2:28:53.000 --> 2:28:55.800 as the defense. That's been a total team collapse on 2:28:55.840 --> 2:28:58.320 both sides. But again, I go back to Moe's point, 2:28:58.720 --> 2:29:01.400 there's just not that many high level names out there, 2:29:01.440 --> 2:29:02.400 so I said they keep him. 2:29:02.440 --> 2:29:03.800 They went eight and nine. 2:29:04.240 --> 2:29:06.760 Regardless of what happens today, if you're the owner of 2:29:06.840 --> 2:29:08.640 that team, your mind should already be made up. 2:29:09.160 --> 2:29:12.320 In Arizona. I think that's a four gun conclusion. Gannon's gone. 2:29:12.400 --> 2:29:15.920 Ye, Darryl Johnson was working hard on TV last week 2:29:16.000 --> 2:29:18.800 doing the game for Fox, trying to keep Tunathan Gannon employed. 2:29:20.080 --> 2:29:23.880 Gentlemen, that's it.

It's the Battle of Ohio one 2:30:57.760 --> 2:31:01.240 former Paul Brown team against his family's current team. Enough 2:31:01.320 --> 2:31:03.520 said in the game, and the Bengals are looking to 2:31:03.560 --> 2:31:07.120 sweep Cleveland in the final game of the season. Truth is, 2:31:07.240 --> 2:31:09.320 some players are playing the last game as a Bengal, 2:31:09.680 --> 2:31:12.520 some are playing to stand stripes, and others are playing 2:31:12.640 --> 2:31:13.240 to stay. 2:31:13.080 --> 2:31:13.680 In the league. 2:31:14.080 --> 2:31:16.960 Today's goal is simple head into the offseason with a 2:31:17.040 --> 2:31:20.200 three game winning streak standing by with today's final call 2:31:20.280 --> 2:31:22.600 to the season, my colleagues Dan Hood and Dave Lapham, 2:31:22.640 --> 2:31:23.680 Happy New Year, gentlemen. 2:31:24.040 --> 2:31:26.080 Same to you, Box, Thank you very much. What a 2:31:26.160 --> 2:31:30.160 difference a week makes weatherwise. Here in downtown Cincinnati, it 2:31:30.280 --> 2:31:33.880 was sixty five degrees and ball me last Sunday crazy. 2:31:34.320 --> 2:31:37.200 It is literally freezing today, thirty two degrees. The good 2:31:37.240 --> 2:31:40.040 news is it is sunny today. No rain or snow 2:31:40.200 --> 2:31:43.520 expected during the afternoon, very little wind to speak of 2:31:43.680 --> 2:31:47.000 today as the Bengals and Browns both see their seasons 2:31:47.640 --> 2:31:50.879 come to an end. Lap Nationally, the big story today 2:31:50.959 --> 2:31:55.200 involves Brown's superstar Miles Garrett. He's going to be the 2:31:55.320 --> 2:31:58.480 NFL's Defensive Player of the Year this year. He's got 2:31:58.560 --> 2:32:01.160 twenty two sacks. The NFL record is twenty two and 2:32:01.200 --> 2:32:03.920 a half, so if he gets one today, he will 2:32:04.000 --> 2:32:06.560 break the NFL record. It's a big test for the 2:32:06.600 --> 2:32:10.800 Bengals offensive line, but according to Pro Football Focus, over 2:32:10.879 --> 2:32:14.640 the last five weeks, the Bengals are the best pass 2:32:14.720 --> 2:32:16.600 blocking team in the NFL. 2:32:17.120 --> 2:32:19.880 That's amazing. I mean, that's a hell of an accomplishment. 2:32:19.959 --> 2:32:24.720 It speaks to how they've gotten better. They've got the 2:32:25.120 --> 2:32:29.640 performances have gone up, the graph has has gone north steadily, 2:32:30.080 --> 2:32:32.440 and you know, you've got to give Scott Peters a 2:32:32.480 --> 2:32:34.840 lot of credit for that, the new offensive line coach, 2:32:35.520 --> 2:32:38.560 the Bengals offensive line. I know in talking to those guys, 2:32:38.640 --> 2:32:43.360 they really believe in his techniques and fundamentals. They think 2:32:43.440 --> 2:32:45.880 that they work, they're going to work big time in 2:32:45.920 --> 2:32:49.160 the National Football League. And the last five weeks have 2:32:49.480 --> 2:32:51.199 proven that. I mean, they've gone out and they've played 2:32:51.240 --> 2:32:53.680 exceptionally well. They're going to have to play really well 2:32:53.760 --> 2:32:57.160 today against Miles Garrett and particularly Orlando Brown. Where Miles 2:32:57.200 --> 2:33:00.320 Garrett lines up at that right defensive end spot, you know, 2:33:00.440 --> 2:33:03.160 more times than anywhere else. He'll line up in other 2:33:03.240 --> 2:33:07.680 places trying to get mismatches, but he feels comfortable pass 2:33:07.800 --> 2:33:10.600 rushing from that right defensive end position. He loves to 2:33:10.680 --> 2:33:15.119 be pressuring the blind side of the quarterback, and most 2:33:15.200 --> 2:33:18.120 quarterbacks are right handed in the National Football League. And 2:33:18.640 --> 2:33:21.760 as you mentioned, he's probably going to be a NFL 2:33:21.879 --> 2:33:24.800 Defensive Player of the Year. Well, he was the NFL 2:33:24.920 --> 2:33:27.760 Defensive Player of the Year two years ago twenty twenty three. 2:33:28.360 --> 2:33:32.080 He was the finalist last year. He was a finalist 2:33:32.320 --> 2:33:35.039 in twenty twenty two. So four years in a row 2:33:35.200 --> 2:33:37.879 he's either won it or been a finalist. He's won 2:33:37.920 --> 2:33:40.440 it twice and been a finalist twice. I mean, that's 2:33:41.000 --> 2:33:45.880 pretty amazing. His career numbers. One game, he's gotten five sacks. 2:33:45.920 --> 2:33:48.840 That's his career high. Three times in his career, he's 2:33:48.840 --> 2:33:51.680 gotten four sacks eight times. Eight games in his career, 2:33:51.680 --> 2:33:55.600 he's gotten three twenty five times in his career, twenty 2:33:55.680 --> 2:33:59.240 five games he's gotten at least two sacks, and thirty 2:33:59.280 --> 2:34:01.360 five games he's had at least a sack and a half. 2:34:01.560 --> 2:34:03.920 He needs a half a sack to tie and a 2:34:04.000 --> 2:34:08.160 full sack to set a new record. And that's, like 2:34:08.280 --> 2:34:11.160 you mentioned, Dan, that's what the national media is here for. 2:34:11.280 --> 2:34:13.880 There's no question about that. If he does get a 2:34:13.959 --> 2:34:16.280 sack today, a full sack, who moves into a tie 2:34:16.320 --> 2:34:18.760 for the top twenty with Dwight Freeney. If he gets 2:34:18.800 --> 2:34:21.440 two sacks, he moves into a tie at number nineteen 2:34:21.480 --> 2:34:25.800 with Derek Thomas. We're talking about some historical pass rushers, 2:34:25.840 --> 2:34:27.879 you know. We're talking about guys that are getting done. 2:34:27.920 --> 2:34:31.640 When you've accomplished over accumulated over one hundred sacks in 2:34:31.680 --> 2:34:34.360 your career, you are a big time And there's no 2:34:34.600 --> 2:34:39.440 question that Miles Garrett is a big time pass rusher. 2:34:39.959 --> 2:34:42.520 And one of those two sack games for Miles Garrett 2:34:42.600 --> 2:34:45.279 was in Week one when the Bengals won in Cleveland. 2:34:45.320 --> 2:34:48.400 To get this season underway, we'll be getting our first 2:34:48.440 --> 2:34:52.080 look at rookie quarterback Shadeor Sanders for the Cleveland Browns today. 2:34:52.120 --> 2:34:54.760 He'll be making his seventh start to wrap up the 2:34:54.840 --> 2:34:58.040 season for Cleveland. The Browns have won two and lost 2:34:58.160 --> 2:35:01.520 four with Shador as their start quarterback. They won last 2:35:01.600 --> 2:35:03.800 week in a low scoring game at home against the 2:35:03.800 --> 2:35:07.760 Pittsburgh Steelers. Shador Sanders throws a pretty ball. I'll say 2:35:07.800 --> 2:35:10.640 that for him. Other than that, not sure he's going 2:35:10.720 --> 2:35:12.600 to be a big time success in the NFL. He 2:35:12.640 --> 2:35:16.440 doesn't process things very well, not nearly as athletic as 2:35:16.520 --> 2:35:17.000 his dad. 2:35:17.240 --> 2:35:19.680 But he does throw a pretty ball. 2:35:19.840 --> 2:35:22.480 He does, I mean his arm talent, you know when 2:35:22.480 --> 2:35:24.760 you just look at him throw the football down the 2:35:24.800 --> 2:35:25.039 foot
