Happy Friday to you. 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: Happy Friday. I am ready to run through a wall 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: with snot bubbles. That's right as a guy that shickster 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: would say. As Wes Millard said, I got goosebumps just 32 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: thinking about it. When it comes to this particular Cincinnati 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: sports weekend. If you've been living under a rock this week, 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: allow me to elaborate. The mecca of high school football 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: in Ohio takes center stage at pay Corps Stadium tonight. 36 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 3: They are nearing twenty thousand tickets already sold for Elder 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: and Saint X taking place at pay Corps this evening. 38 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: As if that's not big enough for downtown Cincinnati, how 39 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: about Cincinnati and Louisville a team in Louisville coached by 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 3: former Elder panther Pat Kelsey, who brings in the six 41 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: rank Louisville Cardinals, who I believe have a legit chance 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: to cut down the nets in March. They are final 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: four national championship. Good you see, and Wes Miller look 44 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: for his biggest win of his tenure. It could be 45 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 3: the marquee win of the West Miller tenure. We'll see 46 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: what happens tonight. Right now, Louisville installed. It opened at 47 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 3: seven and a half. It's up to nine and a half, 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: a nine and a half point favorite. All are the 49 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: Louisville Cardinals. I believe Drew, that Jonas Brothers are in 50 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: town over the weekend as well as if things aren't 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: busy enough, the Jonas Brothers are in town. I'm sure 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: I've got friends in my group chat that are going 53 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: to the Jonas Brothers outside of anything else this weekend. Pat, 54 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: I'm talking to you Saturday. How about Big Noon Kickoff, Drew. 55 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: Big Noon Kickoff takes place Saturday. That's in the morning, 56 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: and then you gotta wait until the evening. It's called 57 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: nip at night. It's Senior Night. It's the eleventh rank 58 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: BYU Cougars, coming in as a two and a half 59 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: point favorite to the Cincinnati Bearcats. Bearcats losers of two 60 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: in a row and outside chance. The window is still 61 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: cracked for the Bearcats to make the Big twelve title game. 62 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: They don't control their own destiny, but they have a 63 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: shot to upset BYU Tomorrow night at Nippert Stadium. And then, 64 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: of course, the eyes of the sports world, the football world, 65 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: whether it's football or football that you're interested in, you 66 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: got FC Cincinnati hosting what some believe to be the 67 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: greatest soccer player ever to grace the. 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: Pitch in leonn l. Messi. 69 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: He comes to town Sunday night, and then on Sunday 70 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: afternoon at pay Corp Stadium, the Bengals host the hottest 71 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: team in the National Football League, winners of eight straight games. 72 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: That's tied with the longest streak in the National Football 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: League with the Denver Broncos. Drake May, according to many, 74 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: a co favorite to win the MVP. His Patriots come 75 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: into pay Corp Stadium and of course Drew. The conversation 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 3: now shifts to what about Joe Burrow. 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 5: Things are moving quickly on that front. Apparently there are 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 5: some betting props you can put out on Joe Burrow 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 5: right now. 80 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: Now, I'm one to believe that Vegas usually knows what's 81 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: going on. 82 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: They usually do. 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 5: So where there's smoke, there's fire, and all signs are 84 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 5: indicating that Burrow is going to get cleared and is 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 5: going to play what about four games earlier than originally projected. 86 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: Now, what's interesting, Fandel right now has betting on Joe 87 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: Burrow to forty three and a half is the number. 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: So you can actually make prop bets on Joe Burrow 89 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: this weekend. But Drew Kelsey, Conway and others are reporting 90 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: as they are at the open media portion of practice 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: that Joe Burrow didn't go through. 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: Team stretch with the team. 93 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: Oh now, he was by himself with a helmet on, 94 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: doing work on the other side of the field. Joe 95 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: Flacco and the rest of the quarterbacks are stretching if 96 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 3: you look around to others. Paul Danner Junior ads that 97 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow did, however, participate in the low red zone 98 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: drill that was starting as the media was asked to 99 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: ask to exit practice. Now, Zach Taylor will speak to 100 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: members of the media within thirty minutes from now, so 101 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: we'll have a little bit more of a clear understanding 102 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: as to what's happening. But as of right now, we 103 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: got a lot going on this week. 104 00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: Interesting. 105 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 5: Is Zach Taylor trying to play the curtain game, like 106 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: are we going to start Joe Burrow or not? Is 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 5: that a shrink up Zach taylor sleeve this weekend? 108 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: Maybe they're maybe they're trying to throw something to Mike Rabel. 109 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: Some tells me Mike Vrabel has been letting his guys know. 110 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: Hey, Burrow, I pready think there's any hiding. 111 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what's happened. Don't think. I don't 112 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: think you're gonna sneak one by Vrabel. 113 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: So look, I'll give I've done it. 114 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: This week, I'll give my final thoughts on the Joe 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: Burrow situation, and we'll update you with anything else we need. 116 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: Charlie Goldsmith will have some clarification at one o'clock. Here's 117 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: my thought. I put my trust the training staff. I 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: would not have made it to the levels that I 119 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: made it if not for Bob man, Jean and the 120 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 3: other trainers at the University of Cincinnati because everyone when 121 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: it gets to a point, is pushing you to play. 122 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: Everyone is in your ear, players, coaches, are you playing? 123 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: Can you go? We need you? Blah blah blah. It happens. 124 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 3: I counted on my support staff and the trainers to 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 3: let me know is it safe for me to go play. 126 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: I'm good with dealing with pain. Pain management is fine. 127 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: There are ways to mitigate that as well. Can I 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: do any further damage if I go play? That's what 129 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: I needed from the trainer. That is what Joe Burrow 130 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: needs from the trainer. If I'm Joe Burrow, I'm saying, 131 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: if a three hundred pound defensive lineman steps on my toe, 132 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: what will happen? Will I be okay? And if the 133 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: answer is yes, and it's just about dealing with pain, 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: go play. If it's a cloudy yes, or you can 135 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: play but you can't really do any under center stuff 136 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: or you can't push off, then I have to take 137 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 3: into consideration, Drew, that you're also playing this game without 138 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, which means, in all likelihood you're gonna be 139 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: asked to hold onto the ball a little bit longer 140 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: than normal. You're also gonna do a quick turnaround you're 141 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: gonna play Sunday and then you're gonna play the following 142 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: Thursday on the road. That is an extremely tough schedule, 143 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: especially for someone coming off an injury. So all I 144 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: need to know, well, is Joe Burrow healthy and he's free? 145 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: Is he free of limitations and free of suffering a 146 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: major set back to the toe? And also and also 147 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: in rehabbing the toe, are there other parts vulnerable? Is 148 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,679 Speaker 3: calv vulnerable because he's put more time on the foot. 149 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: If those things all check out, then go play. But 150 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: if there's a question, I think you gotta be really 151 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: careful how you navigate the next few hours. 152 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 5: Agreed, And you know, it's not an exact comparison because 153 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 5: Pardy's injury was a little bit different than Joe's. It 154 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 5: wasn't quite as serious. But Brock Purdy has missed eight games, 155 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 5: Joe's miss nine. Yeah, so Joe had surgery. Yeah, Joe 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 5: had surgery. So he's either you know, he's really pushing 157 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 5: and he's done a really good job of taking care 158 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: of himself. And he's a phoenix and yeah he's the wolverine. 159 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 5: Basically he's got regenitive powers. It seems like so, but 160 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 5: it'll be interesting to see. I just I can't get 161 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 5: past the feeling of, you know, if I was a 162 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 5: Bengals fan and I would want Joe Burrow to play, 163 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 5: and but I can't get past the thought and the 164 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 5: visual of him going out there and something going wrong 165 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 5: and how catastrophic and how second like second guessing everyone 166 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 5: would be of this entire situation. But it's ultimately up 167 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: to Joe, like, if he feels like he can play 168 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: and he's healthy enough to play, and he'll, you know, 169 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 5: he makes the team better than you know. He's gonna 170 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: go out and play. That's who he is. That's how's 171 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: who he's always been. So it'll be interesting to see 172 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 5: how it goes. I hope he stays healthy because I 173 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 5: I think football is more interesting when Joe Burrow's playing football. 174 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 5: I enjoy watching him play football. So you know, hopefully 175 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 5: he goes out, plays well, stays healthy, and makes it 176 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 5: to that Thanksgiving Night game, because all of a sudden, 177 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 5: that game becomes way more interesting if it's Joe Burrow 178 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 5: versus Lamar Jackson on Thanksgiving Night. 179 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: A massive, massive weekend ahead, we'll talk more about the Bengals. 180 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: We'll talk about their path to victory. We'll talk about 181 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: the importance of tonight and tomorrow night for you. Sports 182 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 3: quick note Thursday night football hand up, Drew. I'll give 183 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 3: credit to the Houston Texans. I knew they were a 184 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: good defense. I was not familiar with that style of 185 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: defense in which they played with against Josh Allen last night. 186 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: The Bills could not get comfortable last night, eight sacks. 187 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: A lot of people viewed Josh Allen as a mobile 188 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: quarterback that can avoid pressures. Josh Allen last night two 189 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: interceptions and eight sacks. Davis Mills and the Houston Texans 190 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 3: move on to six and five with a win against 191 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills twenty three to nineteen. That to me, 192 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: was all about how dominant that Texans front is, how 193 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: relentless that defense is. With the Houston Texans, kudos to them. 194 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: That was an impressive win on Thursday night football. 195 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 5: Hold on, I'm just receiving word that Josh Allen has 196 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 5: been sacked again again by will By Will Hint. 197 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 3: Again, and it does nothing but muddy up the AFC 198 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: playoff picture even more. 199 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, the AFC playoff picture is pretty pretty muddied up 200 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 5: right now. As you were saying, currently outside looking in. 201 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 5: The Texans off of that win last night, are the 202 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: eight seed, the Chiefs, and the Ravens. 203 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 204 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 5: Those are probably you're in the hunt teams. Yes, because 205 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 5: the eleventh seed is the Dolphins. Their current playoff probability 206 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 5: is one percent. So your playoff teams as it stands now, 207 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 5: the Broncos and Patriots tied at nine to two. Broncos 208 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 5: have the one seed currently, the Colts at eight and 209 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 5: two leading the AFC South. 210 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: They play the Chiefs this week. 211 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 5: They do the Steelers at six and four leading the 212 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 5: AFC North. Your three wild card teams are the Chargers, 213 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 5: the Bills, and the Jaguars. 214 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 4: So those you. 215 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 5: Got ten teams or ten teams here, you're in the 216 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 5: hunt teams Texans, Chiefs, Ravens. If you had to pick 217 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 5: one team of these five, the Bills, the Jaguars, the Texans, 218 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 5: the Chiefs, and the Ravens, who will be on the 219 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 5: outside looking in come. 220 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 3: The end of week eighteen, I think it's the Chiefs. Really, 221 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: They got to play the Colts this weekend. They still 222 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: have to play at Dallas. Who's playing better? They have 223 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: to play that Texans defense that I watched last night 224 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: they still have to play the Chargers in the Broncos 225 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: and they're sitting at five and five. Yeah, like that 226 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: that to me, as crazy as it sounds, there are 227 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: a lot of teams above them. The margin for air 228 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: is minimal for the Kansas City Chiefs right now, and 229 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 3: I just don't know if they're that good. 230 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 5: And according to the NFL dot Com Playoff picture, their 231 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 5: playoff probability if they lose this week is twenty seven percent. 232 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, which is crazy because there are still a lot 233 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: of people out there as view them as one of 234 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: the top two or three favorites to win the Lombardy. 235 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: Yep. It is one of those things that if they 236 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: sneak in, they. 237 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: Watch out, watch out without a doubt. 238 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,359 Speaker 3: NFC is also an interesting playoff race right now because 239 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 3: I think a team that can win at all. The 240 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: Detroit Lyons on the outside looking in. Detroit is an 241 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: eight seed. Carolina at six and five is a nine seed. 242 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 3: You still have the Bears seven and three, Tampa, Seattle, 243 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: Green Bay, San Francisco, the Rams, the Eagles. NFC is loaded. 244 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: There is going to be a good team, a legitimate 245 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: title contender that is not going to make it in 246 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 3: the NFC because that is such a good conference. 247 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 4: That's right. 248 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: Detroit's got work to do, and they've only got so 249 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 5: many you know, like we were talking about before the show, 250 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 5: they're gonna run out. 251 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: Of weeks here, They're running out of chances. 252 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 5: They get the Giants this week, then green Bay Dallas, 253 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: they still got to play the Rams, the Steelers, and 254 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 5: then two they finish up with two road games at 255 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 5: Minnesota and at Chicago buckle in. So you know, Detroit's 256 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 5: kind of got to get it in gear here a 257 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 5: little bit. And if they want to make the playoffs. 258 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 5: Now you're looking at the probabilities here, and I know 259 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 5: people don't really like probabilities. I'm just using it for 260 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 5: a point of reference. The Bears are currently at a 261 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: fifty nine percent chance to make the playoffs at the 262 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 5: three seed. If they lose this week to the Steelers, 263 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 5: that drops to forty seven. So I think a lot 264 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 5: of people are expecting the Bears to kind of be 265 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 5: the one that drops, yeah, regress to the mean, and 266 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 5: be the team that probably drops out of there and 267 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 5: gets the lines begin. 268 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: Let's take a break our first of the day. It 269 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: is a busy Friday, It's a condensed show, which means 270 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: we got a lot to fill in between now and 271 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: two thirty. Stick with us since e three sixty.

Who new history class could get 275 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: this violent? Speaking of the Patriots, I wonder how I 276 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: would look in a powder day. Probably not good.

If so, what is then the 292 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: path to victory against the New England Patriots. Like I 293 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: I've watched enough of the Patriots this year. The most 294 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: impressive thing about Drake May is his ability to slide 295 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: and move and keep plays alive in the pocket, almost nonchalant. 296 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: He's just he's so good it's it's not even teachable 297 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: what he does in the pocket. And they are so 298 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: effective and how they operate on the offensive side of 299 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: the ball. They're also effected because of what they've done. 300 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: They drafted Will Campbell on the offensive line this year. 301 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: They drafted Jared Wilson on the offensive line. 302 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: This year. 303 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: They went and got Trevon Henderson, who has been dominant 304 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: in the last couple of weeks for the New England Patriots. 305 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: They drafted well. They were aggressive in the offseason in 306 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 3: free agency, and they've built their roster in a way 307 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: that it just feels like everything in their personnel matches 308 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 3: the scheme in which they want to play with. They 309 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: also moved on from assets during the season. They moved 310 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: on from Kyle Duggar, who just scored a touchdown last 311 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 3: week for the Patriots. But they have identified who's with us, 312 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: who's not part of the plans? What can we get 313 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 3: in return? And they are moving in the right direction 314 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: and they are well ahead of schedule. 315 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 4: They sure are. 316 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 5: And Drake May has been outstanding this year. Absolutely, it's 317 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 5: hard to fathom that you and this goes back to 318 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 5: just week one being wacky, the seam loss of the 319 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 5: Raiders that feels like a century ago, yep. But have 320 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 5: looked really, really good the last several weeks. Drake May 321 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 5: is playing at a high level, and Traveon Henderson obviously 322 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 5: is really starting to get going. With the injury to 323 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 5: Ramond Dre Stevenson. I think the path the victory for 324 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 5: the Bengals is, you know, pointing the obvious here, but 325 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 5: you got to protect Joe, give Joe a chance, keep 326 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 5: keep running the ball the way you have these last 327 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 5: several weeks. Feels like Chase Brown has really started to 328 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 5: find a rhythm in the running game. The line's been 329 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 5: playing better, so you know, kind of ball control, take 330 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 5: care of it, don't turn it over. I feel like 331 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: the Pats are a good team at creating takeaways. So yeah, 332 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: and then obviously, you know with this Bengals defense, it's 333 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 5: easier said than done, but you just you gotta contain 334 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 5: the Pats run game. They're twentieth in the NFL and running, 335 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 5: but I feel like in the last several weeks, with 336 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 5: the breakout of Traveon Henderson, they've been much better. So 337 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 5: and when the Pats get their run game going, that 338 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 5: is when Drake May can really start to get into 339 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: a risk of plaction past are stefant. He's starting to 340 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 5: develop that rapport with us to Von Diggs and the Patriots. 341 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 5: Other skill guys are starting to step up as well. 342 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 5: Mccollins is a deep ball threat. So just well rounded, Yeah, rounded, 343 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 5: well coached, well round coached, especially well coached. 344 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 3: For me, it's can you limit the possessions that the 345 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 3: defense is going to be on the field. Yeah, If 346 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is going to play, can you protect them 347 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 3: a little bit more? Can you run the ball effectively 348 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 3: even if you're not going to be under center? Which 349 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: worries me because this team under center has been successful, 350 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: They were not a successful running team when they were 351 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 3: in shotgun. Does Joe's toe if he plays, limit how 352 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: much this team can go under center. That worries me. 353 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: If you think about how he's got to push off 354 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 3: that toe. That could be an issue for Joe Burrow 355 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: going forward. That to me is a worry. And look, 356 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: I know that it was a loss, and I know 357 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: it got out of hand, but against Pittsburgh at times 358 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 3: the defense did get stops in the first half. Can 359 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 3: you bottle that up? Can you tackle better? Can you 360 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: play a little bit more aggressive? If you take away 361 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: the points last week that were scored on the defensive 362 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: side for Pitcher, the defense gave up twenty points in 363 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: that loss to the Steelers. Can you bottle any of 364 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: that up and get that moving going forward and give 365 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: yourself a small, small chance to win this football game? 366 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 5: And another thing is is when you have that chance, 367 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 5: like if you keep this game close, like say the 368 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 5: Pats are up six in the fourth quarter with about 369 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 5: ten minutes to go and Drake May comes onto the 370 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 5: field and it's one of those moments where can your 371 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 5: defense get a critical stop in a critical situation of 372 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 5: the football. 373 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 4: Game which they couldn't which they couldn't do against Pittsburgh. 374 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 5: You know, they they come out the down eight Pittsburgh 375 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 5: as the ball and they go on a long, lengthy 376 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 5: scoring drive. Convert on a couple third and long earn 377 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: eleven third and sixteen third and seven that when you 378 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 5: get into that situation, can you get your get them 379 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: off the field to get the ball back into your 380 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 5: quarterback's hands to potentially take the lead with four or 381 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 5: so minutes to go. And if you do that, then 382 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 5: you have to do it again. You have to get 383 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 5: that another stuff. You got to prevent them from getting 384 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: into field goal range because you know, all they need, 385 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 5: all they would need is a field goal in that situation. 386 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 5: So it's can the Bengals defense make that critical stop 387 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: within the football game to give themselves a chance to win. 388 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: That Bengals defense, by the way, has allowed twenty seven 389 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: points or more in nine consecutive games. That is tied 390 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: with the nineteen sixty four Broncos and the twenty twenty 391 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: Chargers for the longest single season stretch in NFL history. 392 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: So twenty seven or more from the Patriots adds another 393 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: record that this Bengals defense is on pace to shatter 394 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 3: as well.

Thanks to Win Schulers. We have 418 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: an update from Zach Taylor from pay Course Stadium. Here, 419 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: Drew Zach Taylor says sounder no, because it's not a 420 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 3: huge one. Zach has said that no decision has been made. 421 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 3: Of course, on Joe Burrow. He'll be listed as questionable 422 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: versus the New England Patriots. I believe that means he 423 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 3: has up until four pm on Saturday to be moved 424 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: to the active roster. Zach Taylor did say that Burrow 425 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 3: has done everything he can to get back and limited 426 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: today is split reps with Joe Flacco. Zach Taylor is 427 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: comfortable waiting as long as possible to make the official decision. 428 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 3: Do with that what you want. I still think he's 429 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: gonna play. But that is the latest update as it 430 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 3: relates to Zach Taylor. We'll get more on the Bengals 431 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: from Charlie Goldsmith as we go along. We got a 432 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: few minutes here to take a phone call. Let's do 433 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: so John is calling in. 434 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 9: Hey John, Hey Tony, Hey Drew Friday. How are you? 435 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 4: John? 436 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 2: All right? 437 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 9: I think he's definitely gonna play. And I think, first 438 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 9: of all, he's a lunatic and associate path that. I 439 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 9: mean that as a compliment, right, because you know Tony, 440 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 9: how your quarterbacks are wired. You know you're stubborn, you 441 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 9: want to get out there, you want to play. This 442 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 9: is his team, and I think there's a lot of 443 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 9: reasons why he wants to play against the Patriots. And 444 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 9: I kind of mentioned it a couple of weeks ago 445 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 9: when he called that Albert Breer was on the morning 446 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 9: show in Boston and kind of hinted that he was 447 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 9: going to. 448 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 10: Play this game. 449 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 9: First of all, the loss that he talks about the 450 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 9: most from last year was against the Patriots sixteen to 451 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 9: ten in the season opener. He blames himself for that loss. 452 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 9: Of course, he blomes himself every loss. That's the way 453 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 9: he leads, and that's why he's an awesome quarterback. He 454 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 9: wants to exact revenge against the Patriots. Also, you know, 455 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 9: I think these veteran quarterbacks and now he's a veteran, 456 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 9: established great quarterbacks like Burrow Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. 457 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 9: They see Drake May as the young gun that's getting 458 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 9: a lot of love of the NFL, and they're like, hey, 459 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 9: wait a second, we're still you know, we're still pretty 460 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 9: dying good. 461 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: We're going to show you that. 462 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 9: That we're still at our level and then hest to 463 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 9: show Drake made that he's still the boss. We saw this. 464 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 9: I remember thirty years ago Dan Marino came back from 465 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 9: an injury. He played Drew Bledsoney. He outgunned him, yea, 466 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 9: and they were about ten years of pionage. So I 467 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 9: think that that's in his mindset as well. Also, there's 468 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 9: also it he'll be quick with this. There's a narrative 469 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 9: out there that Mike Drabel owns Joe Burrow, which is false. 470 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 11: Borrows three and. 471 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 9: One, including a playoff win against Tennessee when Frabel was 472 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 9: that coach. And I also think he wants to just 473 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 9: show leadership. He can't be happy with what Jamar Chase did. Like, 474 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 9: here's a guy who's a month ahead of schedule, Jamar Chase. 475 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 9: Another captain is spitting at someone gets suspended. Where the 476 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 9: hell of Trey Henderson? Has anybody's seen him? Another captain 477 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 9: that seems to have, you know, punted on the season. 478 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 9: And I think that right now Barrow wants to show 479 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 9: this is what leadership is about. 480 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 10: You work your butt off, you get out there. 481 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 9: And also the fact that people say that he is 482 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 9: a product of Jamar Chase. Well, in twenty twenty two 483 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 9: he played four games without Jamar Chase, the Bengals went 484 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 9: three to one. He threw for eleven hundred and twenty yards, 485 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 9: eight touchdowns, two interceptions, seventy percent completion percentage, a one 486 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 9: oway passer. He's just fine with whoever's out there. 487 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: Yep. 488 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 3: It feels like and John, I appreciate your phone, can 489 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: have a great weekend. It feels like this is an 490 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 3: opportunity as well for Joe Burrow to say, hey, I 491 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 3: know a lot of people are talking about Drake May, 492 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: don't forget about me. And to John's point, the leadership 493 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: does become a big part of this as well. 494 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's it's amazing how time flies. Joe Burrow 495 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 5: and he rattled off Alan Lamar Burrow and Mahomes like 496 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 5: those guys are the established vets. It does not feel 497 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 5: like very long ago where those guys were the young guns, yep, 498 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 5: making their way up. And you know, Drake May, does 499 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 5: you know I actually think that that quarterback class, those 500 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 5: guys in their second year, Daniels, Williams and May. I 501 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 5: think those three guys are going to have long careers 502 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 5: in the NFL. 503 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I am, I'm one hundred percent with you. Brian 504 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 3: is also calling in. 505 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, Hi, Terry. 506 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 7: How are you doing, sir? 507 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 10: Good? 508 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 2: How are you all doing well? 509 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 10: It's a good day to be a duck. 510 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: I can tell you that that's right. 511 00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 8: So my call. 512 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 7: I'm not going to talk about Zach Taylor. I mean, 513 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 7: there's nothing to say but there. But can you believe 514 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 7: I mean, we're Tesse's ownership groups thinking with Mike Rabel's 515 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 7: success and then getting moving on from them, and they're 516 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 7: just an absolute gumbster fire of a team, Like how 517 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 7: could I mean, they didn't realize that Mike could coach 518 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 7: like he was really good for a number of years 519 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 7: and I don't know exactly what happened why he lost success, 520 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 7: but I'm sure as injury related and they moved on 521 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 7: and they gotta be kicking themselves in the teeth. 522 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: I would think, Yeah, I was gonna say, probably probably 523 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 3: kicking themselves a little bit for where things have gone. 524 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 2: It is. 525 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: It's Brian, I appreciate you. It is crazy to see 526 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 3: the career trajectory of what Vrabel was able to do 527 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: in Tennessee and then to see them move on from 528 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: him and have just failed since then. Rabel just felt 529 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 3: like the perfect fit for so many different reasons. With 530 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: the New England Patriots. I mean, it just feels like 531 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 3: everything about that New England team is Mike Vrabel kind 532 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 3: of bottled up into one. 533 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's pretty remarkable that the NFL is a 534 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 5: whole allowed for able to get back to New England 535 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 5: to become the head coach there. It feels like it 536 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 5: doesn't He's not doing things the same way that Belichick did. 537 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 5: He's got his obvious, you know, his own spin, and 538 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 5: he's done this before in the NFL. But man, it 539 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 5: just gives you that pit in your stomach that the 540 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 5: Patriots are going to be around again here for the 541 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 5: next decade. 542 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 2: Yep, it is. 543 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: It's a credit to them for what they've built. And 544 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: I give credit to them. They won in the off season, 545 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 3: they won in the draft, and they've not been complacent 546 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 3: with success. They are continuing during the season to continue 547 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: to make moves knowing that, yes, they are in a 548 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 3: great position now, but they're also in a great position 549 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: going forward with Drake May as a rookie quarterback to 550 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 3: build a legitimate title contender for the foreseeable future. And 551 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 3: they have capitalized on that. Speaking of capitalizing on opportunities. 552 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 3: You'd like to think that the Bearcats can do that tonight. 553 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: This is Wes Miller's great chance to capitalize on a 554 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: marquee win that happens at Heritage Bank Arena tonight. It's 555 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: a six thirty start, it's a good team in Louisville 556 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: coming in. It's going to be an uphill battle. But 557 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 3: the importance of this to wes Miller you can't just 558 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: continue to fall flat in the big games. You can't 559 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 3: win the games you're supposed to win and never find 560 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 3: a way to win a big game or a game 561 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: that maybe you're not supposed to win. That that has 562 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 3: to change for Wes Miller. And he got a little 563 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 3: bit of the monkey off his back against Xavier last 564 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 3: year with the win. He has to find a way 565 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: to win. This team can't turn the ball over a 566 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 3: bunch tonight. They've got to be able to shoot the 567 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: ball at a high level, and they've got to rely 568 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: on a defense that's been pretty good throughout the year 569 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 3: to slow down a Louisville team that has scored one 570 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: hundred on everyone except Kentucky, and they were in the 571 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: high nineties against Kentucky. For the Cincinnati Bearcats tomorrow. I 572 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 3: think it's even more important Drew for Scott Saderfield agreed. 573 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: Here's a guy last year that they collab down the stretch. 574 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 3: They finished five and seven. A lot of people came 575 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: into the year without high expectations and wondering is Sadderfield 576 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: the guy. They lose the opener to Nebraska, and then 577 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: they win seven straight and then they get undressed a 578 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 3: little bit on the road at Utah, and then from 579 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 3: Utah it's a bye week into a failure against Arizona, 580 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: where they just looked unprepared for everything that they had 581 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: coming at them, and that, to me was the toughest part. 582 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: I get losing on the road, I get it. You 583 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 3: lose on the road, you move on from it. But man, 584 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: the way in which they lost to Arizona, a lot 585 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: of the same things that crept up against Utah crept 586 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: up again against Arizona. I would expect b Yu was 587 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 3: going to come in and try to do the same thing. 588 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: So this is an important game for Scott Sadafield. You 589 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: win this, you get your season right back on track. 590 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: Your still at an outside chance to make the Big 591 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: twelve championship game. But more importantly, you've then got a 592 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 3: chance to finish the season at nine and three. 593 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, and as you see, he's got everything working for 594 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 5: him this weekend. You know, big noons in town, nip 595 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 5: at night, coming off a tough loss. You know, I do, 596 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 5: I use a good football team, but it's still a 597 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 5: true freshman coming in to play quarterback who wears number 598 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 5: forty seven, which is the craziest thing I've ever seen. 599 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 5: You got everything working for you this weekend, and you 600 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 5: gotta capitalize if you find yourself in the position early 601 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 5: where you can bury him like you see did last week. 602 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: Yep. 603 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 4: You know they were up, and they were. 604 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 2: That first seven and got four possessions with the. 605 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 5: Lead, correct, and you gotta be able to capitalize on 606 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 5: those situations. And Brendan Sorosby, you know, being blunt here, 607 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 5: he's got to play better. Yep, he's got to play better. 608 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 5: I know he got shook up a little bit last week, 609 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 5: but you gotta have a better game out of your 610 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 5: veteran quarterback if you want to win, if you want 611 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 5: to win on Saturday night. I think he is going 612 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 5: to bounce back. I feel good about the Bearcats this week. 613 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 5: We'll talk about it more in the Pickham segment. 614 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: Here we go, speaking of the Pickham segment.

Taft was ready to win that game, 654 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: they fumble it away. Indian Hill advances. I think they 655 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 3: carry that momentum. I think Indian Hill gets this win 656 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: as well. What about London and Tip City, Old Tip 657 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 3: a Canoe.

And to those listening in 672 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 3: London today, even though someone from London I know may 673 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 3: have not had the faith that I do, I still 674 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 3: have the faith. Give me London to London Tip City tonight. 675 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 3: I'll ride with London. 676 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 5: I'm not scared, all right, Well, I'm gonna take Tip City. 677 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 4: Wow. 678 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 5: Burdbocker is a heck of a coach. Coached at Minster 679 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 5: up up my way back back in my day. Great 680 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,479 Speaker 5: great football coach, great team. Uh yeah, and they, boy 681 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 5: did they do some some gnarly things to the Sydney 682 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 5: Yellowjackets this season. 683 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 4: Give me tip. 684 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting is is so many people are 685 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 3: focused on Elder Sinex and I get why. But Anderson 686 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 3: and Trotwood Madison gonna be an awesome game. Might just 687 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 3: be the game of the weekend. This game is being 688 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 3: played at Lakota West. I'm back and forth on this one. 689 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 3: Anderson has been unscathed throughout the year. Trotwood's hit a 690 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 3: couple of games that have gone against them, but their 691 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 3: schedule is ridiculous. They're playing their best football right now. 692 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 3: In a close one. I'm gonna take the Raptors from Anderson. 693 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 4: I'll take the Rams, then Trotwood. 694 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 5: Okay, Trotwood Madison making the trek thirty five minute drive 695 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 5: down seventy five ooh, a nasty trek in the conditions. 696 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 2: Do you think the trek changes things? 697 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 5: Not really? Okay, not really. I think it's a thirty 698 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 5: minute car ride basically. So give me Trotwood. 699 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 3: The game that obviously everyone is discussing that has been 700 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 3: moved to pay Corp Stadium. I know last night there 701 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 3: was just south of eighteen thousand tickets sold. I'm assuming 702 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 3: This number is going to be over twenty thousand people 703 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 3: in attendance at pay Corp Stadium tonight to watch Elder 704 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 3: and Saint Xavier. It is going to be fancy. It 705 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 3: reminds me of growing up when they used to play 706 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 3: these games at Knippert and I would go and think, man, 707 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: they are They're drawing more games at Knippert for high 708 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 3: school than they are for the college at the time. 709 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: That's what we're happening. 710 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 3: I was growing up, there would be more that would 711 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 3: go to Elder, Coleraine, Elder, Mullet, these types of games. 712 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 3: This is everything about what makes high school football in 713 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 3: Cincinnati and Ohio so awesome. But if you listen at 714 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 3: all to this show, and you're listen every week, you 715 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 3: know what Friday is for me. It's all Tiora. It's 716 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 3: purple Friday. Elder, Elder, Elder, give me Elder to advance 717 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: over Saint. 718 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 4: X It is gonna be a great game, gonna be 719 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 4: a cold one stadium tonight. Uh. 720 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 5: Elder apparently is battling some injuries, little banged up, well 721 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 5: banged up, But Uh, I'm gonna take the Panthers. Okay, 722 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 5: I'm gonna take Elder they continue. I think they're gonna 723 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 5: ride the momentum of that insane comeback last week. Crazy, 724 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,720 Speaker 5: you know, second life, you know, playing with house money. 725 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 5: They probably feel like, so I'm gonna take the elder 726 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 5: Panthers as well. 727 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 3: Right here we go to the college slate, Drew, these 728 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 3: are spreads involved now Rutgers, Greg Ciano, He's gonna start 729 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 3: chopping wood on the sideline. That's no longer a figure 730 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 3: of speech. They're actually physically gonna start chopping wood on 731 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 3: the Rutgers' sideline to be somewhat productive. 732 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: In these games. 733 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 3: Because outside of that, they've been terrible. They are making 734 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're doing nothing good for the Todd 735 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 3: Fraser name coming out of Rutgers. They've got to figure 736 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 3: this out. Thirty two and a half. It's a huge number. 737 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: I know there's some questions at wide receiver right now 738 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 3: for Ohio State. What do you like in this game 739 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 3: with the spread being that high. 740 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 5: I think Rutgers is gonna chop more wood than they 741 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 5: score points. Oh give me the Buckeyes minus thirty two 742 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 5: and a half. 743 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is Ohio State. This is something 744 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 3: like forty two to seven or something like that Ohio 745 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 3: State roles as the prohibitive favorite in college football. Not 746 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 3: many Top twenty five matchups this weekend, but there is one, 747 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 3: or there's two happening. Missouri number twenty two at Oklahoma. 748 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 3: The number is only seven and a half. Oklahoma has 749 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 3: done a lot to get themselves back in the conversation 750 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 3: at eight and two. I think that's enough to carry 751 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 3: them through. I got Oklahoma at home to cover the number. 752 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 5: That's a tough you know, when you see those spreads, 753 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 5: you just go, gosh, darn it, that is the right line, 754 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 5: because it just feels like the right line. I'm gonna 755 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 5: say Missouri stays inside the number, but Oklahoma wins the game, 756 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 5: and yeah, okay, it's. 757 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 4: A tough one. It's a toss up. I could go 758 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 4: either way on that. I think I'll take Missouri now. 759 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 3: Earlier in our pre show meeting, I had my geography 760 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 3: messed up between USC and Oregon. Did this isn't a 761 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 3: tough road trip. It's not a cross country flight. For 762 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: in my mind, I keep thinking about the West Coast 763 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 3: teams that complain about the Big Ten travel correct and 764 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, Otson Stadium, that place is gonna be 765 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 3: a literally and figuratively zoo. But it's not a tough 766 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 3: trip for USC. That being said, Oregon has way more 767 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 3: to play for in this one. I think their offense 768 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 3: finds its rhythm. It's an underrated defense. I think for 769 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: the most part, give me Oregon nine and a half. 770 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 3: They cover the number at home. 771 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like this is a fade the public 772 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,479 Speaker 5: play here. Feels like a lot of people are gonna 773 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 5: see that nine and a half with number fifteen USC 774 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 5: and take that candy. So I'm gonna fade the public here. 775 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Oregon as well. Take the candy. Okay, 776 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 5: you to take the candy. Kentucky. Now UK's played better. 777 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 5: Mark Stoops has his team getting some some better football. 778 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 3: They made the change at quarterback that has paid off, 779 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 3: and Vanderbilt has just kind of lost a little bit 780 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 3: of the shine. I'm over Diego Pavia. His antics are 781 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 3: now becoming annoying for me. So I will take the 782 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 3: Kentucky Wildcats. After beating Auburn and Florida and Tennessee Tech. 783 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if they win at Vanderbilt, but I 784 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 3: think they cover eight and a half. 785 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm gonna say I'm gonna take. 786 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 5: The Wildcats as well, playing pretty good football in their 787 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 5: last three since getting absolutely dump trucked by Tennessee back 788 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 5: in October. 789 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, and I'm I am with you on Diego Pavia. 790 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 5: Actually I was early on the Danga Pavia kind of 791 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 5: stinks train. 792 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it's fun for a while. 793 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 5: It was when you know, when he beat Alabama last season, 794 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 5: it was, uh, it was a fun story. And then 795 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 5: I watched the sec Netflix show and I was like, God, 796 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 5: this dude is unbearable. 797 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 3: I'm out Wisconsin is gonna host Illinois. Wisconsin get the 798 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 3: monkey off their back. A couple of weeks ago and 799 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 3: Luke Fickele got his first top twenty five win since 800 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,439 Speaker 3: being at Wisconsin at Wisconsin, and he did so by 801 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 3: losing the vest So I thought, Okay, they're onto something. 802 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 3: And then they got boat raced by Indiana. They come 803 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 3: back home, the line is only seven and a half vestless, 804 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 3: Luke fickel getting seven and a half at home. I'll 805 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 3: still take Illinois. 806 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 5: Feels like it's gonna be a quintessential Big Ten football games. 807 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 5: One low scoring, you know, a lot of hitting. Give 808 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 5: me Illinois, though I think they win by ten. 809 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 3: All Right, finally it's big noon kickoff and then you 810 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 3: gotta wait till eight pm for the actual kickoff. Nip 811 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 3: at Night Senior Night Bearcats Cougars of BYU. 812 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 12: Drew. 813 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 2: You go first, Give me the Cats, love it. 814 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 5: Give me the Cats coming off its tough loss against Arizona. 815 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 5: They get the night that they so coveted in a 816 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 5: prime time spot BYU. I've watched BYU quite a bit 817 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 5: this year because they're on late a lot of Saturdays, 818 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 5: and I just I've watched them. I go they're a 819 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 5: good football team, but man, I'm just not sold on them. 820 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 5: So I think the Bearcat offense gets rolling. I think 821 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 5: Sowersby has a good day, and I think the Cats 822 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,959 Speaker 5: go out a winner at Nipper Stadium for the year. 823 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 3: And that TCU game is not a noon kickoff for you, 824 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 3: Thank goodness. That's that's my hope. Here's my other hope. 825 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 3: This team cannot lose four in a row to finish 826 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 3: the regular season. 827 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 4: Yep. 828 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 3: And I really feel how tomorrow goes will be how 829 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 3: TCU goes. I feel like if they lose tomorrow, it's 830 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 3: snowballs and they lose at TCU if they write the 831 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 3: ship tomorrow. We're talking about a team that finishes nine 832 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 3: to three, and right now the door is not completely 833 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 3: slammed on them making the Big twelve championship game. I 834 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 3: know things have to happen, but there's still a chance 835 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 3: for the Bearcats. I look at BYU. The game against 836 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 3: Utah Utah was banged up. That was a good win, 837 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 3: but outside of that, not a ton of marquee wins 838 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 3: for BYU. They barely got by Colorado. They took a 839 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 3: ten point deficit against Arizona before winning that in overtime. 840 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,959 Speaker 3: This team can be had. They're coming off a loss 841 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago to Texas Tech. I think 842 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 3: since he gets a marquee win for Scott Souderfield, as 843 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 3: we discussed earlier, give me the bear Cats as well. 844 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 3: Let's move to the NFL slate. We'll pick it up here. 845 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 3: Steelers at Bears Bears minus two and a half Drew, 846 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 3: Who do you. 847 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 5: Like dubb Bears? Give me the Bears. They just Ben Johnson. 848 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 5: I don't the Bears are a fascinating team to me? Yeah, 849 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 5: because they don't think they're bad. But I also don't 850 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 5: think they're good. I think they are like the median 851 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 5: team in the NFL, and I think the Steelers are 852 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 5: a little bit less than that. Bears find a way 853 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 5: to win these games late. I'm gonna say they kick 854 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 5: a field goal late to win. 855 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the luck runs out. This just feels 856 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 3: like the type of win that doesn't feel like they 857 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 3: have any business winning under Mike Tomlin, and they find 858 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 3: a way to do it no other reasoning other than 859 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 3: this is a Mike Tomlin special. They find a way 860 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 3: to win. Colts at Chiefs. This is the same thing 861 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 3: for me. If the Chiefs lose this game, you might 862 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 3: start talking about the actual nature of having a playoff 863 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 3: postseason football in the AFC without the Kansas City Chiefs. 864 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 3: I don't think they let that happen. They're coming off 865 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 3: the b or the culture coming off the buy. I 866 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 3: like the Chiefs at home with spags in that defense 867 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,720 Speaker 3: to write the ship in Kansas City. 868 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 5: I think Kansas City wins the game. I think the 869 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 5: Colts stay inside the number. Okay, I'm gonna take the 870 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 5: three and a half with Indianapolis off of by Daniel 871 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 5: Jones because I've been great his last couple games, So 872 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 5: be interesting to see what the Colts. I think with 873 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 5: that bye week, they can kind of integrate their new 874 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 5: pieces together. I'm gonna take the Chiefs to win the game, 875 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 5: but the Colts cover the number. 876 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 3: Another team on the outside looking into the Baltimore Ravens, 877 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 3: but they are trending in the right direction. The numbers 878 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 3: thirteen and a half. That's a lot to lay, but 879 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 3: I think they make another statement, not only on the 880 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 3: offensive side, but on the defensive side as well. I'll 881 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 3: take the Ravens to cover a large number. 882 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ravens here as well. They 883 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 5: did not play well last week in Cleveland, lucky to 884 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 5: get out of there with a win. And it just 885 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 5: feels like when teams like that have those bad games, 886 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 5: but they find a way to win, they usually turn 887 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 5: it on the next week. So I think that's what's 888 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 5: gonna happen with the Baltimore Ravens. Thirty and a half 889 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 5: a lot of points, but they're at home. I'll take that. 890 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 5: I'll take that. 891 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 3: Shador Sanders gets his first start on the road. 892 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 5: At Raiders minus four. I guess yep, easy, we're an 893 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 5: agree with Raiders minus four. I'm interested to see how 894 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 5: it's gonna go. With a week of preparation, Yeah, you know, 895 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 5: full week of practice. The chador army doesn't get the well, 896 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,919 Speaker 5: he hadn't had any reps and he got put into 897 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 5: the game in the middle of the game. Excuse he 898 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 5: gets a full week of practice. He knows he's the starter, 899 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 5: So you know what, let's go out and see it. 900 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna go well, but maybe he'll 901 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 5: bruk me wrong. I think he's one of the Raiders 902 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 5: minus four. 903 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 3: I think he's one of the most hated on quarterbacks. 904 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 3: For an eight and two team that doesn't turn the 905 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 3: ball over and they're fantastic in the red zone. This 906 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 3: feels like a game Jalen hurts against a bad Cowboys 907 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 3: defense shuts up a lot of these doubters. The Eagles 908 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 3: are eight and two for a res I know the 909 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 3: Cowboys are playing for a lot here on Sunday, trying 910 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 3: to get themselves back in the playoff race, but I 911 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 3: think the Eagles are too much. Give me the Eagles 912 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 3: plus three and a half minus three and a half 913 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 3: against the Cowboys. 914 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, that feels right. I circled the Cowboys. I wanted 915 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 5: to take the Cowboys. But just the more and more 916 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 5: I looked at it, the more and more I went, 917 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 5: I can't do it. 918 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 4: Give me the Eagles. I'm with you. 919 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 5: I think the Eagles offense gets on track, so to speak, 920 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 5: and they win the game to cover the spring. 921 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 3: Buccaneers are just banged up. They're such a full story. 922 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 3: They've got to get healthy. It does not get any 923 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 3: easier for him, though they go against the Rams. Rams 924 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 3: are my top team in the NFC right now. Matthew Stafford, 925 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 3: if the season ended today, is my MVP of the 926 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 3: National Football League. Seven is a big number, though this 927 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 3: feels like a Baker Mayfield late touchdown that makes it 928 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 3: a five or six point game. 929 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 4: Knock at the back door. 930 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 3: Rams win, Buccaneers kick open the back door. I'll take 931 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,280 Speaker 3: the Bucks to cover the number. I'll take the Rams 932 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 3: to cover the number. Then I'm with you. I think 933 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 3: the Rams are really good. I'm with you on the 934 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 3: Stafford MVP as well. Matthew Stafford. A lot of is 935 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 3: made about whether he'll be a Hall of Famer. I 936 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 3: think it's I think he's a no doubter, no doubt. 937 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 3: A sneaky, good Monday night football game drew the six 938 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 3: and five Carolina Panthers versus seven and four forty nine 939 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 3: Ers who just keep finding ways to win. You talk 940 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: about a team that's dealt with injuries, the line is seven. 941 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 3: I'll ask you, does the back door open for the Panthers. 942 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 5: I think the back door opens for the Panthers. I 943 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 5: think they cover the number here. Rock Perty looked good 944 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 5: last week, looked healthy coming off his toe injury. So 945 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 5: it'll be interesting to see how this game plays out. 946 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 5: The Panthers are, They're an interesting team. They they will 947 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 5: find themselves in these games and win these games close, 948 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 5: and then they will have those weeks where they just 949 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 5: get blown off the field. So is that gonna be 950 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 5: one of those weeks? Cross country flight? It is a 951 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 5: cross country flight, and that is a cross country flight. 952 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 5: I'm gonna take the Panthers, but don't feel great about. 953 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 3: It all right, for all those reasons, I'm taking the 954 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 3: forty nine ers. Either said, I just laid them out 955 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 3: for I think the forty nine ers have too much. 956 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 3: I think they're playing and trending in the right direction. 957 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: They are fully fully operating with Christian McCaffrey, who goes 958 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 3: against his former team and I think he has a 959 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 3: monster game. Give me the forty nine ers. How about 960 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 3: our Win Shulers Cheesy Spread of the Week. Thanks to 961 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 3: our friends at Win Schulers. Try any of their four 962 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 3: delicious cheese spread flavors.

Thanks to our friends at Win Schulers. 965 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 3: This line has been all over the place, yep. Between 966 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 3: the Bengals and the Patriots, my head has been spinning. 967 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow now has passing props. As we mentioned earlier 968 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 3: listed on Fandel, I'm operating in the sense that Joe 969 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 3: Burrow's playing. I'm also operating in the sins drew that 970 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is not playing and that Joe Burrow is 971 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 3: not able to play on the defensive side of the ball. 972 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 3: I think the Bengals make it interesting early. I think 973 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 3: the Patriots pull away late. I'll take the Patriots in 974 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 3: Cincinnati to beat the Bengals. 975 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 11: Yep. 976 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 4: I'm going to take the Patriots as well. 977 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 5: Feels like they are playing some of the best football 978 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 5: in the NFL right now. Drake may is operating at 979 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 5: high high efficiency. Travion Henderson has gotten going here in 980 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks, facing a terrible Bengals run defense. 981 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 5: Uh yeah, just I think too much, too much from 982 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 5: New England, regardless of who starts a quarterback for the Bengals, 983 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 5: even if it's Burrow, and you know, Bengal Nation, just 984 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 5: kind of cross your fingers if Joe Burrow goes out 985 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 5: on that field on Sunday, because you got Baltimore on 986 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 5: Thanksgiving night and the NFL's turn around. The NFL is 987 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 5: going to be doing the same because man, I Burrow 988 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 5: can't go on that Thanksgiving game. 989 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 4: Thanksgiving game, that's not good. 990 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 3: I feel a bonus came in before we break and 991 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 3: before we get to Charlie Goldsmith to kick off the 992 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 3: second hour. These six ranked Louisville Cardinals, I think drew 993 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 3: a team that can legitimately cut down the nets at 994 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 3: the end of the year. They are Final four good. 995 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 3: I think they're national title good. Guard play is what 996 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 3: it's all about when it gets to March, and they've 997 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 3: got some of the best guards that you can find. 998 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 2: I am. 999 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: I'm struggling to find the path for UC to win 1000 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 3: this game tonight. I'm struggling to find the path for 1001 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 3: you see to cover the number. It opened it seven 1002 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 3: and a half, it's been up to nine and a half. 1003 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 3: I've got it right here at eight and a half. 1004 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 3: What do you think? 1005 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, the path to winning is Louisville shooting two of 1006 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 5: twenty seven from three and maybe you see turning the 1007 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 5: ball over twenty four. No, if you see turns the 1008 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 5: ball over twenty four times to night, that's gonna get 1009 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 5: ugly quickly. I'm gonna take Louisville. I'm with everything you 1010 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,399 Speaker 5: just said there. They're really good, they're national title good. 1011 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 5: They could cut down the nets. 1012 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 3: George, I have this issue, drew or far too many 1013 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 3: times in life I bet with my heart instead of 1014 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:31,439 Speaker 3: my head. 1015 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:32,400 Speaker 4: I hear you. 1016 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 2: I do it all the. 1017 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 3: Time, listening to everything you're saying. I listened to everything 1018 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 3: we've already talked about, and somewhat some way, I keep 1019 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 3: thinking that Wes Miller's gonna get his marque win at 1020 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 3: some point. Why not tonight? 1021 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 5: Why not tonight Wes Miller's Markey win. If you see, 1022 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 5: find a way to get it, to get it done. 1023 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 3: And the conversation around this team completely shifts going for you. 1024 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 5: Know what, this is the first time that you see, 1025 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 5: you can say we're coming into a game as an underdog. Yep, 1026 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 5: so they can play with that chip on their shoulder 1027 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 5: mentality and go out there and letter rip. Give me 1028 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 5: the Bearcats, Baby, give them the Bearcats. I'm still taking Louisville.

Can you find a 1055 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 3: path to uc bed Louisal tonight? 1056 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 11: Charlie. 1057 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 14: It's a team that's much improved from the perimeter, especially 1058 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 14: when you look at kind of how things got clogged 1059 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,439 Speaker 14: for them offensively in previous years. KINTINETVI A night where 1060 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,359 Speaker 14: you see can win with the style. We haven't seen 1061 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 14: a ton from them in a while with kind of 1062 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,760 Speaker 14: the perimeter attack. You know, Baba making some breeze, Sena 1063 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 14: Rigaz come off the bench and make some threes day 1064 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 14: to day shot the ball. Well, this year they've got shooters. 1065 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,719 Speaker 14: Let's see if they can make some shots in an 1066 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 14: arena that's terrible to shoot in. 1067 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 3: All right, Charlie. Uh the up to the date updates 1068 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 3: on Joe Burrow. He's officially listed as questionable. What do 1069 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 3: we know up to this point, and what do you 1070 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 3: think happens on Sunday. 1071 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 14: We just talked to Zach for a while. Here's my 1072 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 14: read on the situation. You don't get to this point 1073 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 14: unless Burrow feels like he can play, feel healthy enough 1074 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 14: to play. And I think there's enough optimism that is, 1075 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 14: from a pure health and physical standpoint, Burrow's pretty much there. 1076 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 14: I feel pretty strongly about that now talking to Zach, 1077 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 14: you know they're gonna take the time they have. They're 1078 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 14: comfortable taking the time they have Burrows listed as questionable. 1079 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,399 Speaker 14: What Zach talked a lot about is this being his 1080 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 14: call and he's gotta do what's best for the program, 1081 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,720 Speaker 14: do what's best for Burrow, and make the right decision. 1082 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 14: And there's a lot of factor in there, like how 1083 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 14: does Burrow read a defense? How does Burrow respond to 1084 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 14: not having any you know, real live speed reps until just, 1085 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 14: you know, a few days ago. How does you know 1086 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 14: the the can you call a sixty passes? Were Burrow's 1087 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 14: running all over the field? Like what guardrails do you 1088 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 14: have to set up? From a play caller perspectives, I 1089 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 14: really think Zach's just taken in all the information he 1090 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 14: wants to go back through how it all went this weekend, 1091 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:14,720 Speaker 14: and he'll make the call tomorrow. 1092 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 3: Outside of Joe Burrow and what we know or wait 1093 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 3: to know around Joe Burrow, we know Jamar Chase is 1094 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 3: not going to be playing on Sunday. How do they 1095 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 3: make up for the production they'll lose from Jamar Chase. 1096 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 14: We've seen before when Chase is out just taking step 1097 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 14: into the one a Spotlight needs, as we all know 1098 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 14: more than good enough to do that. The most interesting 1099 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,399 Speaker 14: wrinkles for me there are two One Andre Josavash's role 1100 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 14: really over the last two years has been and he 1101 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 14: even said this line up where Jamar isn't you know, 1102 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 14: move jamorrowt Wire to the slot, you know, move Jamar out, 1103 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,879 Speaker 14: whye Yoshi fills the gaps. What routes do they think 1104 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 14: are Andre's best routes when you're just coming up with 1105 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 14: the game plan for maybe you know, five six plays 1106 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 14: where you're featuring Joseavash, what are those routes? I wonder 1107 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 14: if we see more plays up the scene, more back 1108 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,840 Speaker 14: shoulder throws to Andre, and then overall, what style of 1109 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 14: game do you want this to be? Maybe without Jamar 1110 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 14: and either way Flack or Burrow a quarterback, you don't 1111 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 14: want throwing it fifty times? Do you try to take 1112 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 14: the air out of the game? Kind of play the 1113 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 14: style that New England played in Cincinnati last year. Minimize possessions, 1114 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 14: established the run. How just more of a patient, conservative 1115 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 14: overall approach. So that approach would lead to more of 1116 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,879 Speaker 14: a role for Chase Brown. Maybe using more tight ends 1117 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 14: if you're trying to establish. 1118 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 11: The run, more play action. 1119 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 14: I look at the style of play and then ways 1120 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 14: to use Yoshi as different wrinkles they could. 1121 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 2: Come up with on the deal. 1122 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 3: Well, let's stick one more on the offensive side of 1123 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 3: the ball. The running game has opened up, and a 1124 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 3: lot of people think there's something to the way Joe 1125 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 3: Flacka has played his ability to go under center. If 1126 00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is playing, we've seen an uneasiness of going 1127 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 3: under center. Can this team still run the ball effectively 1128 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,359 Speaker 3: with the advancements they've made on the offensive line if 1129 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 3: they are majority shotgun? 1130 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 14: Yes, you want my honest opinion, I think the under 1131 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 14: center storyline is the most overrated conversation around the Bengals. 1132 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,479 Speaker 14: They've proven over the years that if there's a match 1133 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 14: of what they feel like, they have a true specific advantage. 1134 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 14: That's all make under center packages a big part of 1135 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 14: what they do now. All right, there's one thing they 1136 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 14: did with Flacco specifically in both games against the Steelers, 1137 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 14: they had them do under center straight dropbacks. They stopped 1138 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 14: teaching that twenty years ago. Burrow was not going to 1139 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 14: do that. But sure that takes five plays out of 1140 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 14: your call sheet that you had with Flacco, But of 1141 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 14: course you have more things you can do with Burrow. 1142 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 14: I just think the whole under center thing is so 1143 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 14: situational and it's not a solve, a save, a catch 1144 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 14: all answer for them to have a better run game 1145 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 14: or a more efficient. 1146 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 3: Offense on the defensive side of the ball. Charlie, I 1147 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 3: know that the final score thirty four last week, but 1148 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 3: two defensive touchdowns, and I thought the defense, at least 1149 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,879 Speaker 3: in the first half was able to get the ball 1150 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 3: back to the offense for more opportunities. Did you see 1151 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 3: anything against the Steelers that leads you to believe they're 1152 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 3: trending in the right direction on the defensive side of 1153 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,280 Speaker 3: the ball overall. 1154 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 14: Though, I think Pittsburgh's offense shot itself in the foot 1155 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 14: a lot and Aaron Rodgers kentp to look like how 1156 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,720 Speaker 14: you would fear a worst piece scenario for Joe Flack 1157 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,360 Speaker 14: all right when he got here would have gone. You know, 1158 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 14: a quarterback who can't move and gets rid of the 1159 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 14: ball right away without any real sense of where it's going. 1160 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 14: That's what I saw from the Steelers offense in the 1161 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,399 Speaker 14: first half with Aaron Rodgers. Of course, black Will hadn't 1162 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 14: been that in Cincinnatty, but that's just my way to 1163 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 14: criticize how beatable that Steelers offense was. An underrated storyline 1164 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 14: of the week is now with Cam Taylor britt out. 1165 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 14: So what I was told yesterday, it sounds like Jalen 1166 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 14: Davis is going to get the start and the slot 1167 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,120 Speaker 14: coming off the practice squad. He's not a perfect player, 1168 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 14: but he has he knows the defense. He is a 1169 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,200 Speaker 14: better tackler than what they've had. He has good awareness 1170 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 14: and good instincts. He can get beaten coverage. He's a 1171 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,320 Speaker 14: step slower than maybe what you want from your slock corner, 1172 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,840 Speaker 14: but that is one personnel change we'll see on defense. 1173 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 3: Uh Dejon Anthony, any update on if he's going to 1174 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 3: be able to go and how do you view obviously 1175 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,920 Speaker 3: Cam Taylor, Britt, do you view any changes coming to 1176 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 3: the safety room, which I think could use some help 1177 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 3: as well. 1178 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 14: Dejon's questionable. I don't see changes coming to the safety 1179 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 14: room right now because of what we've seen from Tyson 1180 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 14: Anderson over the years in training camp and unlimited opportunities 1181 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 14: on defense, what we've seen from Dejon Anthony when he's 1182 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 14: whenever he's been on the field, and you know you 1183 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,840 Speaker 14: love PJ. Jewels on special teams, but this guy was 1184 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 14: a linebacker in college. He's not coming in free safety 1185 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 14: and saving your offense. They did such a poor job 1186 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 14: of mis evaluating their safety depth that even though it 1187 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 14: is clearly time for a change of free safety, they 1188 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 14: just don't have that option. I don't think Dejon's that 1189 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 14: option either, whenever he's healthy, unless it's December and you're 1190 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 14: truly just in a developmental play. The kidd as much 1191 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 14: as we've all seen it, and we've all seen it, 1192 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 14: as crazy as this is going to sound, he knows 1193 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 14: Ston's still their best free safety on the ross. 1194 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson is out. We have seen now in back 1195 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 3: to back games, right on the Monday press conference where 1196 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor has essentially said Trey Hendrickson is doubtful. Normally, 1197 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 3: I feel like Zach holds the cards a little closer 1198 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 3: to the chest. Wait and see how the week goes. 1199 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 3: How do you view the Trey Hendrickson situation? What's unfolding? 1200 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 3: And do you think we've seen the last of Trey 1201 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 3: Hendrickson this year? 1202 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 14: I don't have a good feeling about this one. I 1203 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 14: truly don't know. I don't know that they know. There 1204 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 14: hasn't been any concrete answers from them. Hack to they 1205 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 14: had concrete answers, they probably have put them on IR, 1206 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 14: which hasn't come. I haven't seen trade trade around as much. 1207 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 14: Something I've been thinking about is like one of his 1208 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 14: closest friends on the team was Logan, and of course 1209 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 14: that Logan Wilson trade should happen, But like all of 1210 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 14: Trey's friends are gone and it's a bad team and 1211 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 14: how is this all from his perspective right now? And 1212 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 14: it's just a weird situation, and it's it's one that 1213 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 14: there haven't been any answers for and there's a lot 1214 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 14: of a lot of well earned uncertainty. 1215 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 11: You're out is there a. 1216 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 3: Fix all for the tackling? Everyone just points to tackling 1217 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 3: is just bad. And outside of going full go and 1218 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 3: running old school Oklahoma drills at practice in season, can 1219 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 3: you do anything to improve on tackling for a football 1220 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 3: team that is just exceptionally poor at doinso Jalen. 1221 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 14: Davis doesn't do that, I'm just kidding. They do think 1222 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 14: Dalen will improve their tackling, as much as that doesn't 1223 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 14: seem like an answer. 1224 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 11: One thing I really. 1225 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 14: Did notice was there were there over the last two 1226 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 14: or three weeks really since the buy have been tangible 1227 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 14: changes even to the part of practice we see that's 1228 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 14: open to the media, which is just about the first 1229 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 14: twenty minutes. For example, they've revamped and re emphasized their 1230 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 14: pre practice tackling circuit with they do different technique stuff 1231 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 14: during special teams portions like. 1232 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:04,880 Speaker 11: The other day. 1233 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 14: Al Usually the coordinators just kind of watch special teams 1234 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 14: get a feel for what's going on with practice. You know, 1235 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 14: that's kind of on the sideline. The coordinators are on 1236 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 14: the sideline, and then the position coaches. You're still a 1237 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 14: couple of drills with the guys who don't play special teams. 1238 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 14: To keep the guys loose, like tomorrow does work on 1239 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 14: a ladder for example, and catches some passes from Troy Walters. Well, 1240 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 14: this week, Al Golden was one on one specifically, I 1241 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 14: saw with Barrett Carter doing pursuit drills, read and react 1242 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 14: type stuff like Al Golden got very involved in a 1243 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 14: way that I hadn't seen before in that pre or 1244 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,440 Speaker 14: in that special team portion of practice before individual drills. 1245 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 14: Another thing is yesterday it looked like the defense didn't 1246 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 14: walk through basically another walk through before practice. I was like, 1247 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 14: right before practice. Usually it's walked through lunch break practice. 1248 01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 14: This was walk through lunch, go out to practice, start 1249 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 14: practice with basically another short walkthrough, which is somebody I 1250 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 14: hadn't seen. So they've They've done little things like that, 1251 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 14: but I don't know that that saves the defense. 1252 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 3: Charlie, in your opinion, what is the best pass for 1253 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 3: the Bengals to win on Sunday? How does that play out? 1254 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 14: The style of games just has to be very specific. 1255 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,920 Speaker 14: It's so crazy to see how the shoes have reversed. 1256 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 14: I keep going back to the Patriots game in Cincinnati 1257 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 14: last year, except the shoes on the other foot, the 1258 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 14: Patriots have an explosive of an offense. As you'll see 1259 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 14: in the NFL, and the Bengals are either playing a 1260 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 14: quarterback and Joe bang up quarterback and Joe Blacko or 1261 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 14: Joe Burrow, who you'll want to keep some guardrails for. 1262 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 14: So the biggest thing, because I don't think this defense 1263 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 14: is going to play great, can they finally create a 1264 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 14: turnover this week? 1265 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 1: Is there one. 1266 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 14: Way that they can? You know, you know, that one 1267 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 14: blitz game, or that one coverage disguise or someone just 1268 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 14: steps up and makes the play. As simple as that sounds. Heck, 1269 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 14: they could even be on special team. That's how the 1270 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 14: Patriots beat the Bengals last year. Charlie Jones fumbled the punt. 1271 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,760 Speaker 14: So something like that needs to happen, and then you 1272 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 14: limit possessions and then maybe end the game with a shot. 1273 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 3: Charlie, I would be remiss not to ask you from 1274 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 3: the reds Hot Stove League this week the description from 1275 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 3: Nick Crawl on Ellie de la Cruz. We talked about 1276 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 3: it during red season, the power numbers, the stolen bases, 1277 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,080 Speaker 3: the airs. Knowing now what we know, what do you 1278 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 3: make of the situation with Ellie and what he was 1279 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 3: dealing with throughout the season. 1280 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 14: Of course they should have given him a day off. 1281 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 14: It was the wrong decision they made. It was a 1282 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,400 Speaker 14: bad move. It was a thing they'll will approach much 1283 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:45,440 Speaker 14: differently in twenty twenty six. I think some context that's 1284 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 14: also important to keep in mind is from what I 1285 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 14: was told behind the scenes. You know, they tracked daily religiously, 1286 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 14: just like they do in any sport. These players sprint 1287 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 14: speed and some underlying metrics of athleticism and help with 1288 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 14: their sports science department and all of that stuff. And 1289 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 14: Ellie's numbers were trending in a positive direction, that closer 1290 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 14: to what you'd want to see by the end of 1291 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 14: the season, and he actually ended the year the last 1292 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 14: couple of weeks not quite like hot hot, but warm, 1293 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 14: trending in the right direction. So it's not like this 1294 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 14: was an injury that kept getting worse and worse, snowballed in, 1295 01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 14: Snowball got away from Ellie in the Reds should have 1296 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 14: shut him down in September. They should have done some 1297 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 14: different stuff earlier in the process. But it's not like 1298 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 14: this was some terrible, terrible, you know, tear that got 1299 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 14: worse and worse, and was made worse and worse by 1300 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 14: keeping playing him every day through the finish line. 1301 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 3: In your opinion, Charlie, Before I let you go, you 1302 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 3: see BYU tomorrow night. Let's just round off what's going 1303 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 3: to be an unbelievable fun sports weekend. It's been a 1304 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 3: little worrisome because we've seen more of sores By that 1305 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 3: we saw down the stretch last year. Over the last 1306 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,320 Speaker 3: two games for the Bearcats, I feel like they've had 1307 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 3: a lack of answers for man to man coverage. Have 1308 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 3: you seen anything in this team you finally get nip 1309 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 3: a Knight Senior night, have you seen any anything that 1310 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 3: you can build on to say, Okay, they can turn 1311 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 3: this around, they can beat BYU, they can find a 1312 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 3: way to finish nine and three on the year. 1313 01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 14: Well, this is it, right, this is you know. Obviously 1314 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,160 Speaker 14: the Big Twelve title hits took a disappointing title Hope 1315 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 14: took a disappointing turn. But still, what a win against 1316 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 14: a team like that on a stage like that in 1317 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 14: a night game. We remember some unbelievable night games at 1318 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 14: NIPPERK Stadium and how those just stick with you for 1319 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 14: a while. What a win on Saturday could just do 1320 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 14: for the program.

I believe Saturday by four, 1664 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,599 Speaker 3: and then what ninety minutes before kickoff would be official. 1665 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, well they'd have to put him on the roster tomorrow, 1666 01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:20,760 Speaker 5: and then if he's on the roster, then it would 1667 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,639 Speaker 5: be ninety minutes before the start of the game. Would 1668 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 5: be one we'll know for sure, all right, last one 1669 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 5: unless one comes in at the buzzer. 1670 01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 2: All right, all right. 1671 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 33: Boy, anyway, anyways, Tony, Donny, Donny, how come you're not 1672 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,040 Speaker 33: talking about Mary and a Local. 1673 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 2: Let's talk about this dominant. 1674 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 33: High school football team in the state of Ohile in 1675 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,439 Speaker 33: the last thirty years. They should be front and center. 1676 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:49,439 Speaker 33: We should be breaking down their whole organization. Maybe they 1677 01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,880 Speaker 33: someone from that school could help in the Bengals front office. 1678 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 33: It seems to me that they know how to develop talent. 1679 01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,479 Speaker 4: So we discussed this. 1680 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 5: Put this on the Pickham segment because I was on 1681 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 5: today as the D seven football connoisseur of Ohio high 1682 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 5: school football. Tonight, Saint Henry versus Maryon Local. 1683 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 2: This is huge. 1684 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,680 Speaker 5: This is the D seven state championship game. I think 1685 01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 5: whoever wins this game is going on to cut down 1686 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 5: the nets. Mary Local has won a billion games in 1687 01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 5: a row. Saint Henry took him to the wires this 1688 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 5: year in the regular season. Tony, who you got?

Tonight in Wallpawk, whoa in Wallpawk. 1692 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,759 Speaker 5: I'm gonna take Saint Henry over Mariyon Local. 1693 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,679 Speaker 2: I believe it's seventy six consecutive victories. 1694 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 5: Yep over one of those over my beloved Layman Catholic 1695 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 5: Cavaliers didn't quite have the offense going to Sidney. 1696 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 3: Layman also came down to Veterans Memorial Stadium and took 1697 01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,839 Speaker 3: a beating once before in basketball. And I had basketball 1698 01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 3: or football, But either way it was a beatdown. 1699 01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,679 Speaker 5: That feels more likely that it was basketball as opposed 1700 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:06,480 Speaker 5: to football. 1701 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,080 Speaker 2: That way way back in the day. Though either way 1702 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:08,720 Speaker 2: it was a beat down. 1703 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:09,599 Speaker 4: It was all right. 1704 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:11,120 Speaker 3: We got to come back.

Just Oklahoma coming off a huge, huge 1724 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 5: win over Alabama playing at home against a pretty like 1725 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 5: gamy Missouri team. I don't know how like really like 1726 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,840 Speaker 5: quote unquote good they are, but they're gonna give them 1727 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,400 Speaker 5: a game. And yeah, you're right, it is kind of 1728 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,160 Speaker 5: a weaker. Yeah, it's a down week, down week in 1729 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,040 Speaker 5: college football this week, you know, kind of looking around USC, 1730 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 5: Oregon obviously, we talked about that in Pickham as well. 1731 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 5: Trying to venture outside of the Pickham world. Uh, Notre 1732 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 5: Dame and Syracuse. Notre Dame has looked awesome. Yeah, they 1733 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,880 Speaker 5: beat the Brakes off pit last week in at at 1734 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 5: top eighty and a half. Yeah, that's that is a crazy, 1735 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,720 Speaker 5: crazy number. The question with Notre Dame I have is 1736 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 5: are they going to get to that eight seed and 1737 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,599 Speaker 5: host a college football playoff game? So that that's what I'm 1738 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 5: keeping an eye on. Tulane, who is currently the Group 1739 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,160 Speaker 5: five representative in the playoff, places Temple this weekend on 1740 01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 5: the road, So that's another one to keep an eye on. Tennessee, 1741 01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 5: Florida is Friday night. 1742 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,840 Speaker 3: So remember remember paton Nordws, he didn't care about losing 1743 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 3: by one hundred to Notre Dame as long as they 1744 01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,679 Speaker 3: win the next two. So they got to beat Georgia 1745 01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 3: Tech to keep their acc hopes alive. That's one to 1746 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,840 Speaker 3: watch them selfishly. If you're looking at a path, a 1747 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 3: small window, a small path for the bear catch, you 1748 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,479 Speaker 3: need a lot of things to happen. Can can Kansas 1749 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 3: State and Avery Johnson upset Utah on the road? Can 1750 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,519 Speaker 3: t see you upset Houston on the road. Those are 1751 01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:32,880 Speaker 3: two big twelve matchups. 1752 01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 4: Kansas State.

So Aaron Rodgers officially questionable against the Bears, 1764 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 5: and my gut says that Aaron Rodgers is really really 1765 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 5: going to try and angle to play because there's nothing 1766 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 5: he loves more than sticking it to the city of Chicago. 1767 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 3: Before we take a break, since this is football in 1768 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,840 Speaker 3: the Natty, let me venture outside to what's going on 1769 01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,280 Speaker 3: football outside of the Natty.

But for this twenty twenty five season, 1812 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:55,440 Speaker 11: Texas leads with forty two either four or five star recruits. 1813 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 11: Then Florida's got thirty seven. California is down a little 1814 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:03,839 Speaker 11: bit this year with three or twenty four. Georgia. Actually 1815 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 11: Georgia moved into the third spot. Georgia is becoming quite 1816 01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 11: the hotbed, yeah, for recruits. Then I think Ohio's got 1817 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 11: thirteen the two Big Ones or Taviantavian Saint Clair. He's 1818 01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 11: going to Ohio state of course, supposed to be a 1819 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:22,759 Speaker 11: hell of a quarterback. 1820 01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 3: You know about him time, Yes, I think so much 1821 01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:28,000 Speaker 3: about this is interesting as well because of what's been 1822 01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,880 Speaker 3: happening out of Wayne with the player that they had. 1823 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,880 Speaker 3: They they went and filed a lawsuit about Nil now 1824 01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:39,320 Speaker 3: in holding high school athletes back. So now we're talking 1825 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 3: about nil getting into Ohio high schools, and if that's 1826 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,160 Speaker 3: the case, I think you can get down a little 1827 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 3: bit of a dangerous lope. 1828 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 11: And the other five star guy coming out of Ohio 1829 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,880 Speaker 11: was a guy named Terry McNutt, and he's going out 1830 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 11: to Oregon. He's a defensive back, I believe, so. I 1831 01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:57,960 Speaker 11: didn't know if you've heard of him. 1832 01:30:58,080 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 2: Yep. 1833 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 11: I just think those are interesting. It's interesting to kind 1834 01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:04,800 Speaker 11: of keep an eye on where these all these kids 1835 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 11: come from, especially the really good ones. I wanted to 1836 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:14,760 Speaker 11: ask you about this Bucks Rams game coming up. The 1837 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,080 Speaker 11: Bucks just can't get out of the world. I'm not 1838 01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 11: so sure Todd Bowles is a great coach. 1839 01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:19,640 Speaker 8: I'm not. 1840 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 11: I'm just not he's a defensive coach. If it wasn't 1841 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 11: for Baker, they wouldn't be very good. 1842 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:27,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1843 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 3: I also don't know that, Like the situation around Bucky 1844 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,880 Speaker 3: Irving has just been really bizarre. They're running back here. Yeah, 1845 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,639 Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with that. They've had 1846 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 3: obviously injuries, with with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in 1847 01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:41,559 Speaker 3: a host of others. 1848 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:43,479 Speaker 4: Third offensive coordinator in three years. 1849 01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot going on. There's such a likable 1850 01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:48,880 Speaker 3: team that I want to do well. But you wonder 1851 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 3: if everything going on finally catches up to him. 1852 01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:56,600 Speaker 11: That's what I'm thinking, especially when they're playing the Juggernaut, 1853 01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:59,240 Speaker 11: in my opinion, the Rams. But I'll tell you one 1854 01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:01,760 Speaker 11: thing they do have down here at Tampa. They got 1855 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:05,679 Speaker 11: in my opinion, they have the two best tackles in football. 1856 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 11: Christian Whorf's is the best tackle. He's the only tackle 1857 01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,240 Speaker 11: that's ever been voted All Pro right and left tackle. 1858 01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 11: Nobody's ever done that before. So they talk about Lane Johnson, 1859 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 11: Lane Johnson, Lane Johnson up at Philly whatever. But these 1860 01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 11: two cats can really play. But like you said, they 1861 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 11: just there's always guys getting dimmed up on that team, 1862 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,080 Speaker 11: and I don't understand that. 1863 01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,599 Speaker 3: And I think the good thing for them after they 1864 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,439 Speaker 3: get through this gauntlet that they've been on. They finished 1865 01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:35,240 Speaker 3: the season with Arizona, New Orleans, Atlanta, Carolina, Miami and Carolina, 1866 01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,400 Speaker 3: I think they got a chance to be one of 1867 01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:39,960 Speaker 3: the hotter teams going at the end of the year, 1868 01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 3: just based on the schedule easy. I mean they they've 1869 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:46,439 Speaker 3: been you want to talk about a Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, Detroit, 1870 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 3: New England, Buffalo. They're getting to the easier part of 1871 01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,599 Speaker 3: their schedule after this weekend, and I think that'll benefit 1872 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 3: well for them. 1873 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you're right. And another thing is, well, 1874 01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 11: I think is it the same old thing Dak's down 1875 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 11: in Dallas, that he's gonna have a good regular season 1876 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,320 Speaker 11: and then choke out with his history in the first Yeah, 1877 01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 11: what do you think about him? 1878 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 2: If they can get into the playoffs? I just don't know. 1879 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if they can get in with with 1880 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 3: where their defense is. But yeah, until I see it 1881 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:19,880 Speaker 3: from Dak, I I gotta see it there. 1882 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 5: Leaving their current probability to make the playoffs is six. 1883 01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,519 Speaker 5: Speak to the Eagles, it drops to three. 1884 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:27,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, okay. 1885 01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,640 Speaker 11: And I keep hearing people saying that maybe Dallas is 1886 01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 11: getting better at a good time. 1887 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well whatever, there's just a lot of. 1888 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you're right, there's a totem. The other thing 1889 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 11: I wonder and if you got to go, just tell me, 1890 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:41,280 Speaker 11: I'll hang up. 1891 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta we gotta we gotta we gotta one 1892 01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 2: more here. What do you got? 1893 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,280 Speaker 11: Okay? So I heard Ted talking about this yesterday. His 1894 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 11: opinion is, and you guys telling me his opinion is 1895 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,400 Speaker 11: the problem with the Reds and the Bengals doesn't, isn't. 1896 01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 11: I mean, it can be these gms, it can be. 1897 01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 11: But the problem with the Bengal of the Reds is 1898 01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:05,360 Speaker 11: too many partners in the ownership, too many people to 1899 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,479 Speaker 11: decide on what money to spend, what money not to spend. 1900 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 11: Castelini doesn't have bipart, doesn't he even have fifty one 1901 01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:14,320 Speaker 11: percent of the team, And with the Bengals, you've got 1902 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:17,080 Speaker 11: a fifties mentality of the way things used to be, 1903 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 11: with the few exceptions this year. So do you think 1904 01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:23,280 Speaker 11: the real problem was with the ownership or who's running 1905 01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,439 Speaker 11: the joints? On both cases? I thing you too. 1906 01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 3: I think there's Mike. I appreciate the call. Will answered 1907 01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:30,719 Speaker 3: this as well. I think there's a lot of cooks 1908 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:35,840 Speaker 3: in the kitchen. I understand that. But my biggest problem, 1909 01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:39,639 Speaker 3: especially with the Bengals, the scheme doesn't match the personnel. 1910 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,000 Speaker 3: And I think that's a Zach Taylor Duke Tobin thing 1911 01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:45,640 Speaker 3: because I think Mike Brown has shown the ability to say, hey, 1912 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:50,040 Speaker 3: I'm willing to spend money. They've upgraded the stadium, They've 1913 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,840 Speaker 3: brought in the Ring of Honor, they've paid money, They've 1914 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,439 Speaker 3: done things in contracts they haven't done. I think they're 1915 01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,000 Speaker 3: willing to do it. I just don't think the personnel 1916 01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 3: matches the scheme, and I think that leads to a 1917 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,200 Speaker 3: lot of problems. 1918 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,200 Speaker 5: That's where I'll keep it. Yep, I agree, I agree 1919 01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:07,960 Speaker 5: with all that.

I mean it 1973 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,439 Speaker 17: was buzzing as soon as they opened the gates ninety 1974 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 17: minutes before kick and people start filing in that the 1975 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 17: way that that game built and then FC Cincinnati falls 1976 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:10,960 Speaker 17: behind and then immediately ties the act and. 1977 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:11,800 Speaker 10: Then wins it later. 1978 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:13,320 Speaker 4: It was. 1979 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 10: It was spectacular and it really I. 1980 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,479 Speaker 17: Think, and I hope, you know, we'll see how things 1981 01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:21,640 Speaker 17: go against Miami, but I really hope that that the 1982 01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:25,560 Speaker 17: way that they won proves to be a massive confidence 1983 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:30,479 Speaker 17: boost in favor of Cincinnati because they found a way 1984 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,000 Speaker 17: into their rival, you know, to come from behind in 1985 01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:35,760 Speaker 17: the second half of the final half an hour. You 1986 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,479 Speaker 17: go down and no doubt, I mean myself included a 1987 01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,800 Speaker 17: lot of stomachs dropped, right. You felt sick for three 1988 01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:46,080 Speaker 17: or four minutes, but that feeling suddenly there was some 1989 01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 17: reassurance thanks to. 1990 01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:48,719 Speaker 10: Brenner and then he got the game winner as well. 1991 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:52,840 Speaker 17: But man, it was it was a pretty cool, pretty 1992 01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:54,120 Speaker 17: cool way for them to find. 1993 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 2: A way to win it. 1994 01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 3: Now, that's what I Confidence in any sport is so key. 1995 01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,200 Speaker 3: And that's where I was going next. How much can 1996 01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 3: you build on the confidence of not only what you 1997 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,479 Speaker 3: did against Columbus, but what you have been able to 1998 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,720 Speaker 3: do in a couple opportunities against Inner Miami. How much 1999 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,000 Speaker 3: does confidence play into this? 2000 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, I mean, numbers have been asked this 2001 01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,160 Speaker 17: question a lot this week about how do you feel 2002 01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:16,320 Speaker 17: about the game, are you nervous? 2003 01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:17,439 Speaker 10: Is Miami the better team? 2004 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:19,360 Speaker 17: All these types of things, and and look, these are 2005 01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:22,240 Speaker 17: two very good teams that finished second and third tied 2006 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:24,800 Speaker 17: on point actually for the season. But since Anti had 2007 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 17: more wins, so they got the two seed and therefore 2008 01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:28,240 Speaker 17: the games at home, and that should be a massive, 2009 01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:32,280 Speaker 17: massive boost because that's the Sainting's done well against Miami 2010 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 17: in that building as of late. 2011 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:36,679 Speaker 10: Let's look at the most recent results. 2012 01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,080 Speaker 17: A three to zero win this July at TQL Stadium 2013 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:44,080 Speaker 17: against Miami last July. Remember that's six to one beating 2014 01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,160 Speaker 17: they put on on Inner Miami. So that's nine to 2015 01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,160 Speaker 17: one in the last two trips of Inner Miami the 2016 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:50,599 Speaker 17: Tqsam does that means could be that easy? 2017 01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:50,960 Speaker 10: Tomorrow? 2018 01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,720 Speaker 17: Probably not? Or Sunday probably not. I hope it is 2019 01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,360 Speaker 17: at the great it'd be quite the party. But even 2020 01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,000 Speaker 17: you know, look at the US Open Cup semifinal when 2021 01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 17: things didn't go their way, it still was a positive 2022 01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,920 Speaker 17: game Presuly Cincinnati, you know, for much of it, and 2023 01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,880 Speaker 17: then Miami got back into it and a three to 2024 01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,040 Speaker 17: three and they lost in the shootout. But the game 2025 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:11,760 Speaker 17: before that, in the regular season a one to zero win, 2026 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 17: and that was pretty messy. But so my point being 2027 01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:18,040 Speaker 17: is that under pat and In andef she Sintani has 2028 01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,479 Speaker 17: done really well against Inner Miami five one and three. 2029 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 17: You know, sometimes there's there's teams that you come up 2030 01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 17: with to get better game playing against that you match 2031 01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:28,640 Speaker 17: up better against, and and she Sintati has done very 2032 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,439 Speaker 17: well against Inner Miami. So I think, look, you're building 2033 01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 17: on the confidence of those previous matchups. But yeah, you're 2034 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,920 Speaker 17: building upon the confidence of the way that you beat 2035 01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:41,800 Speaker 17: Columbus in order to be in this seat. So uh yeah, 2036 01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,280 Speaker 17: I think confidence should be sky high, and then the 2037 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:47,040 Speaker 17: guys should be feeding up all that enthusiasm of twenty 2038 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:50,000 Speaker 17: five thousand folks who are gonna be screaming in their favor. 2039 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 3: Inner Miami and dispatching Nashville in the first round saw 2040 01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,680 Speaker 3: Lionel Messi score five goals and add an assist, So 2041 01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,320 Speaker 3: he's obviously playing some of his best soccer right now. Now, 2042 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,680 Speaker 3: what goes into a matchup or a game plan and 2043 01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,439 Speaker 3: trying to slow down a Messi or do you just say, man, 2044 01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 3: you're not going to slow down a Messi. No one's 2045 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 3: been able to, But can you limit everyone around him 2046 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:11,760 Speaker 3: as well. 2047 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 17: I mean, I think, yeah, you have to make sure 2048 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,800 Speaker 17: that you're limiting what Lionel Messi is doing. This guy 2049 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,160 Speaker 17: has forty two goals toning across all competitions this year. 2050 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:22,719 Speaker 17: Now Miami's played in order to the amount of games, 2051 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 17: more than anybody else in the league. 2052 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 10: But it's forty two goals. 2053 01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 17: He's five goals three says, so eight goal contributions in 2054 01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:30,280 Speaker 17: those three games. I mean it's almost three goal contributions 2055 01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:32,960 Speaker 17: a game, and coming off one of the greatest seasons 2056 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,799 Speaker 17: in Major theccer history with twenty nine goals and eighteen assists. 2057 01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:40,559 Speaker 10: So look, he has just been unbelievable since he arrived 2058 01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:41,519 Speaker 10: at Miami. 2059 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:45,120 Speaker 17: I mean seventy six goals, you know, since a arriving 2060 01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:48,200 Speaker 17: with two and a half seasons ago. So yeah, it 2061 01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,960 Speaker 17: hasn't even been around, you know, that long, and he's 2062 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,120 Speaker 17: scoring goals. It's just a ridiculous clip. So you have 2063 01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:57,200 Speaker 17: to minimize the damage that you can do. I mean, 2064 01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,160 Speaker 17: obviously it's talked about this week, so it's not gonna 2065 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,559 Speaker 17: be the broadcaster James me because many others brought it up, 2066 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:03,640 Speaker 17: including Roman and Miles when they did the show with 2067 01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,439 Speaker 17: MLS while they were with the US national team earlier 2068 01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:08,519 Speaker 17: in the week. But you know, the only Eastern Conference 2069 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,000 Speaker 17: team that Messi hasn't scored against is f C Cincinnati, 2070 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,920 Speaker 17: So they've come up with decent game plans against him 2071 01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,759 Speaker 17: in the matches when they've seen him. Uh, he's missed 2072 01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:19,920 Speaker 17: some minutes against him in the past previously as well, 2073 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,479 Speaker 17: but you know, he hasn't scored against since down He 2074 01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,240 Speaker 17: did have some assists and that that Open Cup semifinals 2075 01:42:25,280 --> 01:42:26,479 Speaker 17: from a couple of years ago that I. 2076 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,680 Speaker 10: Was talking about. But they fought a way to manage him. 2077 01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 17: But the problem is that it all it takes is 2078 01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,840 Speaker 17: one play and whether that's a free kick or that's 2079 01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:37,680 Speaker 17: a ridiculous pass where he finds somebody in. 2080 01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,640 Speaker 10: The box and they'll hurt you. 2081 01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:43,400 Speaker 17: So Miami also has been prone to concede some goals, 2082 01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 17: so I think there's gonna be opportunities there. He is 2083 01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:47,600 Speaker 17: that f she since and he better take advantage of 2084 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,559 Speaker 17: all the opportunities in the box. You know that attacking 2085 01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:54,080 Speaker 17: trio Dencade Brenner and a Vander are gonna have to 2086 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 17: be under game. 2087 01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 2: He got goals. 2088 01:42:57,240 --> 01:42:59,320 Speaker 3: It's not like f C Cincinnati doesn't pose a threat 2089 01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,479 Speaker 3: offensively as well with that tree. Uh, you had the 2090 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:07,240 Speaker 3: weekend between rest, recovery, a lot of preparation. You already 2091 01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:10,679 Speaker 3: knew who the opponent was gonna be. Uh, How how 2092 01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 3: does f C Cincinnati go into Sunday just from a 2093 01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:14,960 Speaker 3: sheer availability and health point of view. 2094 01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,559 Speaker 17: Yeah, we just got an update this morning from Pad 2095 01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:21,000 Speaker 17: noon and then it was pretty positive. So uh, I 2096 01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,680 Speaker 17: felt really good about that. You know, I think everybody 2097 01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,760 Speaker 17: was holding their breath a little bit, especially as far 2098 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:31,479 Speaker 17: as Andre etch Nike is concerned, and you know that 2099 01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:35,840 Speaker 17: was that was, you know, a big concern, and rightfully so, 2100 01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 17: because he was hurt while he's out with the Venezuelan 2101 01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:39,479 Speaker 17: national team, came out of the game in the first half. 2102 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:42,519 Speaker 17: But Pat Noonon indicated in his press conference and then 2103 01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,960 Speaker 17: we saw it in training that that ender went out 2104 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,040 Speaker 17: and trained today and and that he was good, that 2105 01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:49,240 Speaker 17: it was a scare, but that he was a full 2106 01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:50,479 Speaker 17: participant in training today. 2107 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,720 Speaker 10: So did that mean he starts on Sunday? Well, time 2108 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:53,120 Speaker 10: will tell. 2109 01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,360 Speaker 17: We'll see how training goes tomorrow and and what the 2110 01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,240 Speaker 17: coaches decide. But and there's been a really important piece 2111 01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,880 Speaker 17: of the puzzle. And remember now it's not a best 2112 01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:03,920 Speaker 17: of three, so it's a one game do or die, 2113 01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 17: which means it could go one hundred and twenty minutes. 2114 01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,400 Speaker 17: So if you don't have an inter attion k whether 2115 01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:11,240 Speaker 17: that's in the starting role coming off the bench, you're 2116 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:14,120 Speaker 17: losing one of your weapons, right if ender doesn't start 2117 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:16,280 Speaker 17: and he's got available, and then you had to start 2118 01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:18,280 Speaker 17: Luco Orshana.

It's a two and a half point spread. Now, 2285 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,200 Speaker 3: usually two and a half is what you're kind of 2286 01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,920 Speaker 3: good for for being the home team. So I think 2287 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:09,160 Speaker 3: people view BYU as maybe a three four five point 2288 01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:11,920 Speaker 3: favorite over Cincinnati. The number is only two and a 2289 01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:15,240 Speaker 3: half what I'm interested in, and you don't really get 2290 01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:18,200 Speaker 3: to factor this in when you're making wagers what this 2291 01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,840 Speaker 3: means for the program. You look on paper seven and three, 2292 01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:23,960 Speaker 3: that's a good year for the Cincinnati Bearcats. But last 2293 01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:26,080 Speaker 3: year five and two was a good start for the Bearcats, 2294 01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 3: and they lost their last five and finished five and seven. 2295 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:32,800 Speaker 3: Seven and one for the Bearcats. If you don't win 2296 01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:36,000 Speaker 3: tomorrow and you go to TCU losers of three straight 2297 01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:39,120 Speaker 3: to wind down your season, that's a lot of pressure 2298 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,120 Speaker 3: and it takes away a lot of good will build 2299 01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 3: up during the season for Cincinnati football. I think with 2300 01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,800 Speaker 3: it being nip at night, I think with it being 2301 01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:51,360 Speaker 3: Senior Night, I think there's something to that. And there 2302 01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,320 Speaker 3: is still an outside chance that you see as playing 2303 01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:55,840 Speaker 3: for more than just a win when it comes to 2304 01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:57,640 Speaker 3: the Big Twelve in the Big Twelve title game. So 2305 01:52:58,200 --> 01:53:01,519 Speaker 3: I do give them a legit five chance. We've talked 2306 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:04,320 Speaker 3: about this before, we talked about it earlier. Tonight would 2307 01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:07,240 Speaker 3: be Wes Miller's marquee win. Yes, this would be the 2308 01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:09,600 Speaker 3: win that he can hang his hat On And I 2309 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:11,439 Speaker 3: think if as a UC fan, you might be able 2310 01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:13,280 Speaker 3: to settle in a little bit to the West Miller era, 2311 01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:15,439 Speaker 3: because so much of it up to this point is 2312 01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:18,719 Speaker 3: when's the Marquie win gonna happen, Who's who's he beat? 2313 01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,519 Speaker 3: Up to this point, you could you could expel all 2314 01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 3: of that tonight. 2315 01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:24,240 Speaker 4: Oh yes, no doubt, no doubt about that. 2316 01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:24,920 Speaker 2: And Xavier too. 2317 01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:27,280 Speaker 3: Like for Xavier, a lot of people are kind of 2318 01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:31,920 Speaker 3: already moving on, already turning the page. Xavier beats Georgia 2319 01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:35,599 Speaker 3: tonight as a double digit dog, then the conversation around 2320 01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:39,439 Speaker 3: Richard Patino's team changes as well. So in the Crosstown shootout, Yeah, 2321 01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:43,200 Speaker 3: the Crosstown shootout changes. Obviously, the Burrow impact on Sunday 2322 01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:46,400 Speaker 3: makes things in the Patriots game interesting. MESSI comes into town. 2323 01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:48,720 Speaker 3: Regardless of anything, it's gonna be an awesome weekend for 2324 01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:49,719 Speaker 3: Cincinnati sports. 2325 01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:52,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be a tremendous and I think it's 2326 01:53:52,160 --> 01:53:55,120 Speaker 5: the best sports weekend I can remember since I've moved here, 2327 01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:56,559 Speaker 5: in a like total sense. 2328 01:53:56,880 --> 01:54:00,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think at the end of it, you 2329 01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:03,479 Speaker 3: kind of get to capitalize on what is an awesome 2330 01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:07,120 Speaker 3: showcase for Cincinnati. You got big noon kick tomorrow, Yes, 2331 01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:09,320 Speaker 3: and you've got the high school football game tonight. A 2332 01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:12,040 Speaker 3: lot of good high school football games, but anytime you're 2333 01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:13,960 Speaker 3: in the realm of twenty thousand people coming out to 2334 01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,639 Speaker 3: watch a high school playoff game in the rain, that's 2335 01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:18,639 Speaker 3: something special as well. And I think it's a good 2336 01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:22,200 Speaker 3: weekend to highlight sports in the Queen City. 2337 01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:25,880 Speaker 5: No doubt, should be a big, big time weekend here 2338 01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,880 Speaker 5: in the Queen City.
