Speaker 2: Joe Burrow or Ellie Daily Cruz or anything else we've

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: talked about today. But for right now, it's Thursday. It's

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: one o'clock. That means our guy John Sheeran standing by

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: to join us from A to Z Sports covering the

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. What's going on? John?

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I haven't seen the sun this week so far,

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: but I guess Joe Burrow's going to provide that on Sunday.

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: Maybe would be.

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: The closest thing. Is this the most interesting three and

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: seventeen we've had in the NFL in quite some time?

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: I would probably say that you never really know what

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: you're gonna get on Sundays, but some things you kind

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 4: of do know what you're gonna get. Maybe a lot

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 4: of mistackles, maybe a lot of not knowing how to win,

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: not a lot of complimentary football.

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: Some things kind of remain the same, you know.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: And yet with all of that, it feels like a

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: boxing match right now where they've been knocked out or

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: seemingly almost knocked out multiple times and they survived the round.

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: I thought last week was the final blow, and then

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: this week happens, and Joe Burrow's back, and Joe Burrow

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: was a full participant yesterday, and everything that I'm leading

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 2: to see is telling me that Joe Burrow might actually

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: even play on Sunday. The big question is John should

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: he play on Sunday? What are your overall thoughts on

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow?

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: I think this is one of the very few things

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: where I just have no interest in speculating at all

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: into something that I just don't know about. I think

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: this whole thing has been either correctly reported or just

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: there's just not been any actual concrete information on anyone.

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: Outside of pay Course Stadium.

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 5: Nos.

44
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: This is supposed to be a three month at minimum

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 4: recovery for a very serious injury, that very painful injury,

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: by the way, And somehow, after fifty two days after

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: he had surgery, he's back in practice. So obviously the

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: timeline was accelerated or it was just a lot quicker

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: than anyone on the outside thought. So I went from

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: mid December to Thanksgiving to a week after Thanksgiving, two

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: a week before Thanksgiving. It's been jumping all over the place,

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: and I just I have no idea how healthy he is.

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: And I think the safest thing to assume is.

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: That if he's medically clear to play, and he's able

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: to practice fully, and he's the best quarterback that they

56
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: have on the roster, especially with Joe Flaco excuse me,

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: dealing with an ac joint spring, then he might as

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: well play. And if that's the case, and that's the case,

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: and if he doesn't play, then if to assume that

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: he's just not ready to play, I don't think I

61
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: can go any further than that without recklessly speculating on

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: something that frankly, again, like we just don't know. Every

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: injury is different, every recovery. He's different, And clearly this

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: has been an injury that has either been misreported on

65
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: or this we just do not know. So I think

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: the safest thing to assume is that if he does play,

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: then he's able to play, and he's the best option

68
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: that they got and for a team that's still technically

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 4: technically in the playoff race, that's just what they got

70
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: to do.

71
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: So if he does play, you're just ready to talk

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: about really reeling off seven in a row.

73
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: Then yeah, exactly, exactly, Yeah, he's.

74
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: Gonna Is he gonna help the Bengals defense adjust schematically

75
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: and help them tackle?

76
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: I doubt it, you know, I doubt it.

77
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: I think with this matchup, specifically, a quarterback in Drake

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: May that can throw over the yard really all three

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: levels of the field. He's been incredibly accurate in that

80
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: offense that Josh mcdannals has always run, knows how the

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: scheme guy's open in the underneath areas of the field.

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: So this is just it should be another week in

83
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: which the Bengals should be prepared to score thirty. And

84
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 4: I think that's an interesting variable coming off of this

85
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: past week, when you know, I don't know if if TJ.

86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: Watts hit on Joe Flacco impacted his shoulder. I don't

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: know if it was the weather that he was not

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: able to put to drive the ball through all that win,

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: but wasn't where it needed to be for the rest

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: of the season because you just have to assume that

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: the defense is going to continue giving.

92
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: Up thirty points every week.

93
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: So I do think that there is some value in

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco potentially coming back down to Earth. Whether that's injury,

95
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: whether the fact that he's forty or not, it doesn't

96
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: really matter. Like this offense still needs to be reliable

97
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: every single week, no matter of the matchups. So if

98
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 4: you do get better production out of a again, if

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: he's healthy, a healthy Joe Burrow with you know, reunited

100
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: with his weapons and everything like that, that should allow

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: them to remain at least competitive in these games. And yeah,

102
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: like obviously, you know, whoever the quarterback is doesn't really

103
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: impact the defense. But if you still have to play

104
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: with this defense and you need the best quarterback out

105
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: there possible.

106
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: You mentioned getting back with his weapons, they're obviously going

107
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: to be without Jamar Chase. Does that at all go

108
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: into this decision making in your opinion that you are shorthanded,

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: it's going to make it a little easier on the

110
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: New England defense to defend the Cincinnati Bengals. When you

111
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: take arguably the best receiver in football away from an offense,

112
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: does that factor in at all you in a game

113
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: plan or in Joe Burrow getting back out there.

114
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: Possibly? Possibly.

115
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: I think they ran into a lot of things that

116
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: didn't expect last week against the Steelers and how they

117
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: defended Jamar Chase, and I.

118
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: Think that I also led into a lot of their issues.

119
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: Joe is obviously played without Jamar within this offense. I

120
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: remember the you know, the four game stretch when Chase

121
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: had the hip injury back in twenty twenty two. Teagans

122
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: averaged just under one hundred receiving yards a game that

123
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 4: that season, and during that stretch, Trent Irwin was obviously

124
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: a guy that's stepped up big, and maybe that's gonna

125
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: be Mitchell Tinsley. Now, obviously andre Yo Sabas is going

126
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: to have more of a mixpended role like this offense

127
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: still needs, you know, multiple quality receivers outside of the

128
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: you know, the true X on the field at the time,

129
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: and that is going to be Tigue. And so Burrow

130
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: does have that experience and whereas Flacco doesn't. Flaco's really

131
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 4: relied on spamming targets to Jamar Chase. He's every fourteen

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: a game with Laco in there, So how they redistribute

133
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: that is going to be interesting. I would hope that

134
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: Mike Seki's healthy enough to play, and if he does,

135
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: like that's just another big body receiver that he can

136
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: have against the defense you know, like is pretty solid

137
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: in all three phases or all three levels of that defense.

138
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think there is value in Burrow being

139
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: back out there knowing what it's, knowing how to redistrib

140
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: to the ball when the true gravitational force of Jamar

141
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: Chason that out there and does make.

142
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: It harder for the quarterback.

143
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 6: You mentioned the Patriots defense, I mean they're the best

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 6: run defense in the NFL as far as yards per game,

145
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 6: which I'm sure plays a role in the game plan

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 6: with or without Joe Burrow when it comes to passing

147
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 6: it against them. How do you expect that rotation to

148
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 6: work with the wide receivers. Do you think it's gonna

149
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 6: be Mitch Tinsley time. Do you think Charlie Jones gets involved?

150
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: And where does this put Jermaine Burton, everybody's favorite player.

151
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: I do think that Burton should be excited to actually

152
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: maybe dress.

153
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: For once this time. I would highly doubt that he has.

154
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: Any sort of trust with the coaching staff that it's

155
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: actually plays significant snaps, But as someone who's going to

156
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: be in uniform and can come onto the field and

157
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 4: maybe very specific situations, that could be a case in

158
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 4: which Burton does see the field.

159
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: But you have to think it's Tinsley right.

160
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: He's fourth on the death chart because of how much

161
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: trust that he's earned over the offseason and then the

162
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: very few opportunities that he's had in actual games. He

163
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: continues to show like it wasn't just you know, the

164
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: preseason game against the Commanders which had two touchdowns, that

165
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: wasn't just a miage. He knows how to track, you know,

166
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: deep passes, and he knows how to bring it in

167
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: and knows how.

168
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: To work against quarterbacks like that. So I think it's.

169
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: Been a case where you don't want to take Chase

170
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 4: and Higgins off the field and put Mitchell Tintley on

171
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: the boundary, which is where he's had the majority of

172
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: the success.

173
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Success.

174
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: But now that you have one of those guys who

175
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: has to sit out this game. That's the perfect opportunity

176
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: for Tinsley to fill in. Keep Andre Josavash in a

177
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: role in which he's been practicing now throughout the last

178
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: couple of years.

179
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: They don't really change what you do with him, but.

180
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: You insert Tindsley either into the X or into the flanker,

181
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: you know, whatever, however you want to adjust with t Higgins,

182
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: and then you kind of roll with that trio and

183
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: then Charlie Jones can step in if needed, and then

184
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: Burton is going to be maybe your emergency backup off

185
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: the bench.

186
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: That's how I would expect it.

187
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: I would be very surprised if Burdon just somehow assended

188
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: over Tinsley, though, because I think Tinsley has very much

189
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: earned this opportunity.

190
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Do you take anything positive coming out of the buy

191
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: From what we saw from the defense. They gave up

192
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: the opening drive touchdown. They allowed Mason Rudolph to essentially

193
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: do whatever he wanted, especially on third and eleven multiple

194
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: times third and I believe sixteen. They only went one

195
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: third down and not converting in the whole second half.

196
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: But there are some out there that say two defensive

197
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns the defense held Pittsburgh to twenty. Are there positives

198
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: at all that you took away from the defensive performance

199
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh.

200
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: I think there was positives in the adjustments that they

201
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: sought to make, and they rolling out with more of

202
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 4: an odd front, which impacted of the roles.

203
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: For the defensive end.

204
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: Miles Murphy had definitely his best game of his career,

205
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: and I think that was probably attributed to some of

206
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: the differences in what they asked him to do. He

207
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 4: saw more planned McKinley Jackson, who was kind of more

208
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: in the heads of nose role. I think be Ja

209
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: Hill had a previous game along with Joseph Side, so

210
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: he saw some promise from the front four of the

211
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 4: front five, if you will, in this case, he saw

212
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: more pressure against the definent Steelers offense line, So that

213
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: was at least someone.

214
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 3: Promising to see. But I think at the end of

215
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: the day, like if.

216
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: If you're if your back seven has trouble in space,

217
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: not only with pursued angles, but wrapping up and just

218
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 4: making you know, isolated tackles in space, like that's not

219
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 4: that's not necessarily something that you can just fix on

220
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: the fly.

221
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: And the middle season.

222
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: Outside of personnel changes, and they just haven't really been

223
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: any personnel changes, right, there's still guys on the bench

224
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: right now who probably could do a little bit better

225
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: job than the likes of Geno Stone and Barck Carter

226
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: and things like that, things of that nature.

227
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 7: Right.

228
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: So there's just so many, so much that you can.

229
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: Do schematically to fixed problems that you're just gonna have

230
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 4: issues with no matter who you play. And I think

231
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: that was just that's just something that they're gonna have

232
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: to live with if they want to keep with this

233
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: group of guys. So it was promising to see the

234
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: schematic changes up front, but when they weren't able to

235
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 4: rally to the ball at the line of screamage, when

236
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: when you had those opportunities in space, like, those problems

237
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: are just going to persist. And that's I wasn't necessarily

238
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: surprised about that. That's just going to be what the

239
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: defense is.

240
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 6: Why do you think they've been so hesitant to move

241
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 6: off of Geno Stone? And if Dejon Anthony is able

242
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 6: to go, do you expect to see him on Sunday?

243
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: You'd have to assume the leash is just as short

244
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: as possible, right, And I like I don't think it

245
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: was the coach's decision obviously to cut his pay in

246
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: the off season.

247
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: I think that was more of a personnel thing in

248
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: regards to this.

249
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 4: Guy's as not worth as much money as we're paying him,

250
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: so we're gonna give him a pay cut because he

251
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: has to accept that, And that's just how the personnel.

252
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: Department saw him. But for whatever reason, the coaching staff.

253
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: Continues to see him as a guy that needs to

254
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: be out there for one hundred percent of snaps, and

255
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: that's just it just doesn't seem like it's it's worth

256
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 4: at this point to not see what Tyson Anderson or

257
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: what dies On Anthony can do in that role instead,

258
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 4: even if it's on a rotational basis, which we've seen

259
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: over the past handful of years, ever since Jesse Bates left,

260
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 4: like Nick Scott and Jordan Battle rotated quite often like he.

261
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 3: Had von Belle rotated in now last year.

262
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: Right, I don't know how Gino Stone is any better

263
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: or worse than some of the unfortunate liabilities that we've

264
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: had at that position in the past couple of years.

265
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: And the fact that Tyson Anderson is now interned a

266
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: contract year and you still have no idea what he

267
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: can do on defense.

268
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's just not.

269
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: As good in practice, they just don't trust him, whatever

270
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: the case may be. It's just embarrassing scene out there,

271
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: just completely with on tackles and allowing to all these

272
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: explosive plays. Like at some point something has to change

273
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 4: with him or with the people making these decisions.

274
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: John, I'm fascinated. Weekend and week out, we hear Zach

275
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: Taylor at the podium, and normally he's pretty close to

276
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: the vest when it comes to discussing injuries or player availability,

277
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: and yet for back to back weeks when asked about

278
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, it's been very abbreviating to the point that

279
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: he's doubtful. Normally, this is something I feel like we

280
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: hear from Zach Taylor of well, we're going to give

281
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: it a go this week and let the week play

282
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: out and we'll make a decision. He's been very to

283
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: the point, very adamant. Both mondays Trey Hendrickson is doubtful

284
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things. Do you think we

285
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: see Trey Hendrickson again this year or not?

286
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: I think it's right up there with Burrow and the

287
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: fact that we just don't know. Obviously, with Hendrickson in

288
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: his contract situation, that's a very that he kind of

289
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: can go down that rabbit hole and say, does he

290
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 4: is he really pushing to play right now? Is he

291
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: just trying to get right And that's just what's been

292
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: communicated to Zach and the training staff and how he's

293
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: just not quite there and it's just it's just too

294
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: early to make any sort of of a well see

295
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 4: type of statement. It was the fact that he suffered

296
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: this injury in week six and he was able to

297
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: play in week eight obviously wasn't gonna play a week

298
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: seven because it was just a hndful of days rest

299
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: on Thursday football. So the reaggravation or the aggravation of

300
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: set injury has been apparently worse than the actual injury before,

301
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: or he just doesn't feel like he can play through

302
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: because of how quickly he was re injured again.

303
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: That could be something that plays into it.

304
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: And how he just wants to be fully right before

305
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 4: he goes back out there. But you know, if there's

306
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: only seven games left and if we're at a point

307
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: where it's not even remotely close to him being playing

308
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: when he's making these announcements on Monday, he does start

309
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 4: to feel like maybe that's just the case of he's

310
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 4: just trying to play as safe as possible and maybe

311
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: if they're maybe they do somehow make the playoffs, Like

312
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: maybe he could be able for the postseason at that point,

313
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: but obviously that's a long way away, as a fairy

314
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 4: tale way if they actually do make the playoffs of

315
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 4: this race. So yeah, I think there's something to be

316
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: said about where he is with his contract and his

317
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: future and the fact that he's dealing with injury that

318
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: unfortunately he reinjured and apparently is not worse than what

319
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: it was.

320
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: In the beginning.

321
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: It's hard to discuss it against a team who's nine

322
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: and two and has been on a tear since a

323
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But during their winning streak

324
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: wins against the Panthers, Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons, and the Jets,

325
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: they have impressive wins against Tampa and Buffalo, both on

326
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: the road. Is there a pass Is there an avenue

327
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: on how they could beat and maybe knock off this

328
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: Patriots team, And if so, how do you believe that

329
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: can happen?

330
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: The offense just has to produce. Like at the end

331
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: of the day, I don't expect.

332
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: Drake May to walk in here and not be the

333
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: quarterback that he's been this entire season. I think it's

334
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: been incredibly impressive, the accuracy and the deep ball ability

335
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: that he's had with his receivers, with Stefan Diggs, with

336
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: Kaishawn Boudi, with Connor Henry, like, all those guys are producing.

337
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: They're all on the same page, and it's just a

338
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: very cohesive offense.

339
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: And now it's a run game with trade Von Henderson

340
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: that is really starting to explode. So I just have

341
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 4: to assume that the Bengals are going to allow points

342
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: in this game and that.

343
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: The Bengals need to respond. You could have some.

344
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: Very flutey turnovers here and there that can kind of

345
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: even the game a little bit out, But after last

346
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: week in which they only scored twelve points, like it

347
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: just has to be better than that. They're just not capable.

348
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: I don't think they're capable of beating the Patriots and

349
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: the kind of an ugly, low scoring type of situation,

350
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: and I don't think that's what the Bengals defense is

351
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: capable of doing against an offense that has a quarterback

352
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: playing at elite level right now. So the path is

353
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: to win another high scoring shootout game with some flute turnovers.

354
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: So I think that's the only way that they can

355
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: beat any of these good teams on the schedule.

356
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: With a defense that is currently the worst scoring defense

357
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: of any team in the NFL in the last fifty years,

358
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: you would have to expect it's got to be how

359
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: the offense goes. It's certainly a busy time around the

360
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, never a dull moment. It's easiest way to

361
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: follow along with everything you got going on as your

362
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,080

00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

408
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 6: Apparently, say get on back to the house.

409
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Well done.

410
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 6: If the face of the franchise is one hundred percent healthy,

411
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 6: he's got to play.

412
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: But also, what about on sidekick after every score?

413
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 6: We talked about the Yeah, the field a bit longer,

414
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 6: we talked about this.

415
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't hate it. I'm all for it.

416
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 14: Zach Austen old man grumpy here, and I know I've

417
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 14: been on this past couple weeks of firing.

418
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Did he call you, Zach? I think so?

419
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 14: Taylor firing Tobin here and now that Joe Burrow will

420
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 14: more than likely start Sunday, Zach, Taylor's had six years

421
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 14: to protect the franchise quarterback and not once has he

422
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 14: chosen to do so. Another example of reckless disregard for

423
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 14: his franchise.

424
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: Quarterback.

425
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 6: I just find that to be false. Hasn't always worked,

426
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 6: but he certainly has tried to protect him. So there's

427
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 6: two different opinions on back to back talkbacks.

428
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay anyway.

429
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 15: This Sunday, November twenty third, at one pm at the

430
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 15: Summit Park Auxiliary Room, the Blue Ass Sassy co Ed

437
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 6: There, did you see the video or the picture?

438
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: All?

439
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bill Belichick, Yeah, at Jordan Hudson's adult cheerleading competiy.

440
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something. That's a good way to describe it.

441
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: He's a rod or die. I guess it's Jeff.

442
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 16: So I'm just curious if Joe Burrow starts this week,

443
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 16: do they abandon the running game and get blown out?

444
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 16: Like thirty five.

445
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: To seventeen might happen regardless, So.

446
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 16: How do they address it moving forward? Tony, as far

447
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 16: as Scott Saderfield goes, if he loses out the next

448
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 16: two weeks and they get blown out in the bowl game,

449
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 16: he'd better be clenching onto his seat because it may

450
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 16: be a little bit hot.

451
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: I think that he'll still be safe. I think we'll

452
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: hear a but I'm telling you right now, I hear it,

453
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: I hear it.

454
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: I think we'll hear a sadderfield extensions. M he's safe

455
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 6: for good? Got him too a bowl game? Yeah, that's

456
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 6: all it takes.

457
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

458
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 17: Last night I was watching on YouTube some old Vice

459
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 17: President dan Quayle speeches, and I was thinking, Man, that

460
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 17: guy looks and sounds just like Zach Taylor, very uninspiring.

461
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 17: And then I thought to myself, how pathetic is it

462
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 17: that I'm at a point in my life where I'm

463
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 17: watching old dan Quayle speeches. I peeked back in nineteen

464
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 17: ninety three and it's been downhill ever since.

465
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 18: Hey, should Dan Board wear.

466
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: A two pey?

467
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 6: Only if it's like a long haired two peg?

468
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

469
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 6: Like, first of all, bald is beautiful and Dan Dan

470
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: looks great as is, but it would be very funny

471
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: he had like hair down to his Yes, you put

472
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 6: the headset on.

473
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: That would be a great look from Dan.

474
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 11: We all know Joe is a Jordan level competitive well

475
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 11: known from time infinitum just seems like two games and

476
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 11: four days with the second game being in Baltimore seems

477
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 11: a bit of a stretch, at least to me. I

478
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 11: guess we're gonna find out on Sunday morning. Probably it

479
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 11: sounds like you ain't.

480
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: Kidding, I can find out.

481
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 6: I think that's fair. Hesitation back to back games like

482
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 6: that makes it.

483
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: It's a valid point.

484
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the valid your resident.

485
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: Lord, Hey, lord, I got a start.

486
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 19: Bench cut injury news that you are tired of hearing about. Okay,

487
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 19: the Joe Flacco injury news, the Joe Burrow injury news,

488
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 19: or the Trey Hendrick Hendrickson injury news.

489
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: I'm never tired of the Burrow, so I'll cut that.

490
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: I am most tired, I think at this point of

491
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, so I'll start him and then I'll sit flacough,

492
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: I agree out of box. You gotta moon from the ding. Yep,

493
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: my bad. Definitely got my wires crossed. Yep. You know

494
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: that's what happens when you turn fifty. You start to

495
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: lose memory.

496
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: Boys, Ah, what do you do?

497
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 20: Sorry to Hi?

498
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 6: Did he say fifty fifty? Bugger fifty telling me moon

499
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 6: Man's fifty?

500
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: Yep? Damn yep, Tony that moonman.

501
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 9: I appreciate the optimism for UC basketball after Dayton beat

502
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 9: Marquette last night. I did look at their non conference schedule.

503
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 9: They have Georgetown Virginia in Florida State on there for

504
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 9: the next six weeks. If I were a UC fan,

505
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 9: I would route very, very hard for Dayton player basketball.

506
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm all for that fly a tj east Side.

507
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 20: This is nothing but a diversionary tactic keeping the heat

508
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 20: off Taylor and Tobe in the midst of another typical

509
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 20: and epically bad Mike Brown season. Hey, let's talk about

510
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 20: Joe and hopefully keep her audience engaged. Let's stave off

511
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 20: absolute apathy. Everyone needs to stop sucking on the Hopian balloon.

512
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: This season is over.

513
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 20: He has had a few days of practice.

514
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: Why risk this? Give him at least another week?

515
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 20: Who hasn't been young, inured and wanted to play before

516
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 20: they were truly ready.

517
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: God speed, Joe, but slow your role all right?

518
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: I seem to remember your dad telling me a story

519
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 6: about when you were hurt and trying to play. Yeah,

520
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 6: like to going back and forth with the coaches and

521
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 6: all that.

522
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 2: It was a lot. That's why I said, Thank God,

523

525
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: taken care of.

549
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,879

559
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: Boys.

560
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 24: Don't think I found a solution to the defense. Why

561
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 24: don't they rally to the damn ball? Play after play? Hey,

562
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 24: just let him catch it. Oh there's another defender in

563
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 24: the area. They got it. I ain't got a hustle.

564
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 24: If you don't hustle, you don't play, You don't play

565
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 24: through to whistle. Go have a seat.

566

Speaker 2: Hoop will he's been in the news lately.

Speaker 7: Okay, Hey the taco bell Tony in Austin. I'm wid

568
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 7: with my Vrabels defense. Chase Brown might get more stuffed

569
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 7: than Austin's turkey this year for Thanksgiving.

570
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.

571
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 6: That's what I do worry about with the game on Sundays.

572
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 6: Their their run defense is really good. Yeah, Bengals haven't

573
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 6: run the ball well as we know for most of

574
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 6: the year. Oh boy, Joe get back their throat fifty times?

575
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: Oh boy, can you Claco or Burrow? We'll just let

576
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 6: Browning do it.

577
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 19: Hey, guys, Marcus from the Groove, if Burrow plays and

578
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 19: looks like the Burrow from last year, does.

579
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 4: Your outlook on the season change? Because really, quarterback.

580
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 9: Isn't the issue, it's the defense.

581
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it changes. No, No, my mind doesn't change.

582
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 7: Todyosai, Georgia Valley.

583
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: How about them Dayton Flyers last night?

584
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 11: To date?

585
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 8: Marquette, what do you gotta say about that?

586
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 13: Right?

587
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 20: Anyway, Austin two and eighty one days counting, and it's

588
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 20: going to keep counting at about what fourteen, eleven, twelve

589
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 20: more days?

590
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: He's got that, Yeah, he's got no has been, but

591
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't know how long till the game have First

592
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: of all, George is not a bright person.

593
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 6: Second of all, I'm just focused on on Wreckers and

594
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 6: I'll say, after that, I'll be focused on Michigan and

595
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: after that I'll be focused on Indiana.

596
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: I'll say, very good job to go beat Marquette. Marquette

597
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: only gave up one hundred to Indiana and then got

598
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: beat by Maryland, who went to overtime last night with

599
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: Mount Saint Mary. But I agree, good win for Dayton,

600
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: good win.

601
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 14: Have you guys seen the spread in total for the

602
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 14: Louisville UC game tomorrow? Ifisode sprinkle, sprinkle the over.

603
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: Difference between the spread and the over under. Usually you

604
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: don't get that until the day of in college basketball.

605
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 6: I've heard that there's tickets available there is You.

606
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 18: Should definitely play that. It's like you close out the show.

607
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 18: That'd be a great way to end the show with that.

608
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 18: That very beautiful voice from that was gifted from above

609
00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 18: from city Jesus. Anyways, Yeah, today is.

610
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 6: He listening to Wolf Blitzer in the back?

611
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: What was going on there?

612
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 18: You should definitely play that as like you close out

613
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 18: the show. That'd be a great way to end the

614
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 18: show with that, that very beautiful voice from that was

615
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 18: gifted from above from baby Jesus.

616
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: Anyways, Yeah, today sounds like wolf Blitzer back there.

617
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 11: I think we need to make some phone calls and

618
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 11: get Kevin and norder Kentucky a voiceover gig.

619

00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 25: Great turbulence, Tony warm Wedge Austin, long time, no talkback.

621
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: And we got a big Cincinnati sports weekend coming up.

622
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 25: And unfortunately I don't see us being favored in any

623
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 25: of these tilts. But a successful weekend to me, at

624
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 25: the very least, would be FC Cincinnati taking down the

625
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 25: Pink Messies at TIQUL moving on to the Eastern Conference

626
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 25: Finals because U see he's not taking down Louisville Friday

627
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 25: eating BYU on Saturday, and the Bengals sure as hell

628
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 25: aren't going to take care of the Pats on Sunday.

629
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 25: I don't care if Joe Burrow plays or not.

630
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 6: Wow, Okay, let me ask you this. Okay, Let's say

631
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 6: Miami beats Cincinnati. Let's say New England beats the Bengals

632
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 6: and the Bearcats go for two on the weekend. Let's

633
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 6: say we go winless. Is it worth it if? On

634
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 6: Sunday evening it's announced that the Reds have signed Kyle Schwarber.

635
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: Sure I'll get that. He'll take that train. I'll take that. Okay,

636
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: all right, interesting that was our last one. I'll take it.

637
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 6: Oh wait a minute, looks much like uh vooch we

638
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 6: got one here at the buzzer Voucci.

639
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, double diffended day that Cincinnati is getting an

640
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 7: arena football league. You think Balin a easy can start

641
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 7: at wide receiver?

642
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Balin's a he's an athlete. Can I ask no?

643
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a fantasy football question? Sure?

644
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 6: This is all in all honesty. You know there's a

645
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 6: lead league that you left that we were in. I'm

646
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: ten and one.

647
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: In that one. Wow, here's my questions for leaving. I

648
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: have Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford on my roster and

649
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: I need to win this week Josh Allen. Allen goes

650
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: tonight against the Texans, Stafford goes up against Tampa on

651
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: Sunday night. I would do Stafford really, even Josh Allen

652
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: coming off that performance last week.

653
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 6: The front seven in Houston is nasty.

654
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that mean that they're not going to run the

655
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: ball and he's going to throw the ball? Buddy?

656
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 6: Have you watched Texans this year? They destroy quarterbacks home

657
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 6: Thursday night prime time. I don't trust the bills yet

658
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 6: and also you know who Josh Allen did all that

659
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: to last.

660
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: Week Tampa Stafford has been really good.

661
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 6: We have a development from Bengals practice to get to

662
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 6: when we come back for football on the nat Let's

663
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 6: get to that with football on the nat I think

664
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 6: it's a relatively large development. And then when we break

665
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 6: from football in the Natty, we'll come back to finish

666
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 6: up the hour with a little Kyle Schwarber with Sag

667
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 6: Dennison still ahead centy three six.

676
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 6: Ooh, football in the Natti sounded like one of the

677
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 6: hits you took the Saints.

678
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: Welcome back, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station developments from

679
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: Bengals practice. What's happening right now, Tony.

680
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 6: The Bengals are practicing at the practice for fields adjacent

681
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: to Paige And this from our guy.

682
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: Charlie Goldsmith Chuck Sizzle.

683
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow is taking the snap from Ted Carris during

684
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 6: the pre practice center exchange work. Oh, Joe Flacco is

685
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 6: with backup Lucas Patrick.

686
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: Oh. I mean just I don't know that that means anything.

687
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: I mean, just Burrow out there healthy and in full

688
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: pads today is a good thing. Yep.

689
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: Means there's no setback from yesterday. He's taking the snaps

690
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 6: with Ted Carris. Now this is his football team and

691
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 6: he's the face of the franchise. I think that's interesting.

692
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: There was a I don't know if it's a misconception,

693
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: but there was this idea out there because Kevin Stefanski

694
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: said something last week about well, he was talking about

695
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: Schendor Sanders and he hasn't got first team reps and

696
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: people were like shocked by this, and it like peeled

697
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: back the onion really of how reps work during a practice.

698
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: And I don't remember who I was reading it from,

699
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: but essentially the breakdown is you really, when you factor

700
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: in Wednesday Thursday's practice as a starting quarterback with first

701
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: team reps, there are probably thirty reps to be had.

702
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: In team settings, the starting quarterback takes all of those

703
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: reps like once the week in this season happens. There

704
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: is no like, all right, first team's gonna get eight reps,

705
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: second team's gonna get four, and you just rotate like that.

706
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: The starting quarterback that week takes every single rep because

707
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: he needs every rep as much as possible.

708
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 6: I think this was the the Luke McCown post.

709
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So people think, well, if he's a backup quarterback,

710
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: he should still be getting reps, and that's not how

711
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: it works. Peyton Manning in his last season of football,

712
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: was still taking every single rep in practice. It's needed,

713
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: it's important for multiple reasons. So this isn't a situation

714
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: where you know Joe Burrow is gonna take five snaps,

715
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: Flacco's gonna take five. They are gonna have to make

716
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: their decision of who is the guy and that guy

717
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: is going to get the snaps today, especially if it

718
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: is Flacco because he didn't practice yesterday. You can't run

719
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: the risk of giving Joe Burrow a bunch of snaps today.

720
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: Flacco needs them all. So if Joe's out there in

721
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 2: team today, Burrow, that tells me that he's starting on Sunday.

722
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Yes, it just wouldn't. Like there's

723
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: not enough reps to go around that you can mess

724
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: around and be like, all right, let's make sure Flacco

725
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,959
Speaker 2: gets some as well. That's not how it works. There's

726
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: not enough reps to go around that I agree is

727
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: going to be significant.

728
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

729
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 6: I think what I've learned that I think is maybe

730
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: most surprising and people might genuinely be surprised about to know,

731
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 6: is there really aren't that many reps during that week

732
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 6: that you get as a starter. Nope, Which it's kind

733
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 6: of hard to believe, but it's the reality.

734
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: It's two heavy workdays. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Josh

735
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: Luke McCown I found them. He essentially said, if you

736
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: take in team periods, team run periods, and then seven

737
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: on seven, you're talking about thirty to forty reps, full

738
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: speed reps of the actual game plan throughout the course

739
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: of the week. That's it. Starting quarterback has to have

740
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 2: all those So who gets those reps today? Especially since

741
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow had them all yesterday. If it's not Flacco

742
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: getting them today, I would be hard pressed to believe

743
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 2: Flacco is going to start on Sunday. And we know

744
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: Jake Browning ain't starting on Sunday. What do you think

745
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: is going through Jake Browning probably collect the check and

746
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 2: move on at this point, I think it's worth noting

747
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: there's obviously a couple of roster spots still available. I

748
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: think either tomorrow or Saturday, more than likely Saturday, there'll

749
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: be a flurry of moves, especially if Burrow is activated.

750
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to think Sean Clifford's still on

751
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 2: the practice squad. Could I don't know exactly what they

752
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: would do with Jake Browning unless he's the emergency third

753
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: quarterback on game day. If Burrow's healthy and activated.

754
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 6: And if Dejon Anthony is activated and SICKI is activated, like,

755
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 6: there's a lot of roster I think moves still to

756
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 6: be made over the next couple of days.

757
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of someone that's getting ready to collect the check,

758
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: that would be one free agent, Kyle Schwarber Schworbo. Swarbo

759
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: was in town last night. You know he's from Middletown, Ohio. Middletown, Ohio.

760
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: No kidding, they honored him last night. Seg Dennison went.

761
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: Seg got some awesome audio seggi from Kyle Schwarber. We'll

762
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: share that with you next on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati

00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 2: Welcome back since three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

783
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: Kegan Nickoson will join us in our number three. Wes

784
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 2: Miller will join us in our number three. Chad Brendlan

785
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: from Moager will join us in our number three. Quick

786
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: update Austin. Early indication from about an hour or so

787
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: ago are that they are already north of sixteen thousand,

788
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: seven hundred tickets sold for tomorrow night's game between Elder

789
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: and Saint X. Wow, that's awesome. That number is going

790
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: to continue rising. They are already almost approaching seventeen thousand

791
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: to watch Elder and Saint X.

792
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 6: I've got some family coming down from Sydney.

793
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: Heard the game. Yeah, any chance? Pat Kelsey just like

794
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: five minutes into the game gets himself ejected and then

795
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: heads down the street. Probably not the worst idea catches

796
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 2: the Elder Panthers. I mean, maybe I think they're gonna

797
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 2: win comfortable. Maybe we'll see he probably Gelder's gonna win.

798
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: You think Elder's gonna win comfortable?

799
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 6: No, I think Louisville is probably gonna win, So he

800
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: could maybe get out of there double dip get the

801
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 6: second half double dip get him on the sidelines.

802
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: Middletown's Kyle Schwarber came in town for an event Middletown

803
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: last night. They were honoring Kyle last night. Our own

804
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: SEG Dennison went and after the event they had a

805
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: chance to talk to Kyle Schwarber. And I appreciate our guys,

806
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: sag Dennison because he ain't afraid to ask the hard

807
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: hitting questions. No, he's not. Take a listen to what

808
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber had to say last night.

809
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 12: Oh, it's always great, you know. We whenever we're here,

810
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 12: it's always fun for us, right that. Uh, you know,

811
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 12: our kids, you know, grow up. You know, we got

812
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 12: our families here, mind my wife's family. Uh, we got

813
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 12: all of our we got all of our friends, we

814
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 12: all have kids the same age. It feels like it's uh,

815
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 12: you know, it's always fun for us to be here.

816
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 12: And like I said, this is a place that we

817
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 12: call home. And uh, you know, we we love it here.

818
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: You know, we we're going.

819
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 12: To spend a lot of time here as a family

820
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 12: in the future.

821
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 6: If the Reds showed any interest in during this free

822
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 6: agency offseason, what would that mean to you.

823
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 12: I mean, like, you know, I think, uh, good old

824
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 12: Gordon wit Meyer was the one who who started this

825
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 12: frenzy at the All Star Game, but uh, you know

826
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 12: he asked the question kind of similar to that where

827
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 12: you know, I said the the you know, the kid

828
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 12: in me right that you know, I grew up going

829
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 12: to games there. I grew up sitting in the bleachers

830
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 12: and watching a lot of games, and uh, you know,

831
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 12: I think the kid would be you know, excited, right

832
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 12: of you have your hometown team, that's that's calling, so

833
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 12: you know, but also being in the profession and knowing

834
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 12: uh you know a little bit more of the ins

835
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 12: and outs, right, You're you're never going to uh not

836
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 12: be it open here, right, you always have to listen

837
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 12: and keep uh different options open and to see what happens.

838
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: So we'll see.

839
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 4: I know it's early in the process because you as

840
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 4: a free agent, but is there a possibility of you

841
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 4: coming here and playing for the Reds.

842
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,479
Speaker 12: That's a great question. I don't know, but if if

843
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 12: you know, if you're throwing the hypothetical out there, what

844
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 12: it would be like if that were to happen, you know,

845
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 12: I mean, I'm gonna give my all, just like I

846
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 12: do anyplace I am. You know, I I I try

847
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 12: to bury myself in my teammates, I try to bury

848
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 12: myself in the in your city, and you try to

849
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 12: just worry about all these other things that you know,

850
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 12: then you just go out there and do it. Your

851
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 12: mind just takes over in your mind plays right, But uh,

852
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 12: you know that's just I'll take it anywhere like I've been,

853
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 12: just always trying to be you know, be there for

854
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 12: you guys, to be there for your team, and also

855
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 12: trying to go out there and play at a very

856
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 12: high level.

857
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: Are you hoping or anticipating maybe the Reds will make

858
00:41:59,560 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: an offer?

859
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 12: Like I said, I don't know. I haven't even gotten

860
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 12: to really kind of sit down. I think this thing

861
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 12: kind of all just started, right, so, you know, the

862
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 12: qualifying offers stuff, all this got over with, so now

863
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 12: everyone kind of knows the expectations I think for a

864
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 12: lot of different free agents, and we'll see where the

865
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 12: road goes from there.

866
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: All right, that's Kyle Schwarber speaking last night. Listen. The

867
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: guy has awesome things to say about the city. This

868
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: is his home. He talks about the kids and his

869
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: wife and how much time they spend here, and how

870
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: he grew up in the bleacher seats and what that

871
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: would mean. Listen, I think he said everything that one

872
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: could possibly say right when given those questions. Do I

873
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: think he would jump at the opportunity to be a

874
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: Cincinnati read Absolutely. Do I see the Reds making that

875
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 2: a possibility? I don't. Yeah, I just don't.

876
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 6: It's hard to believe that that could be a reality.

877
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 6: But listening to him talk about it, it doesn't seem

878
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 6: like he would be dismissive of the Reds. No, it

879
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 6: seems like he'd be open minded. You have the meeting,

880
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 6: and you know, I did an interview with Jeff Carr

881
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago down the hall on WLW,

882
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 6: and I asked him what's like a realistic path to

883
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 6: making it happen? And he said it would be trading

884
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 6: somebody like Brady Singer to open up some of the

885
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: financial pathways. Kyle Schwarber like, Okay, I could see that.

886
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 6: I also understand that there are still a lot of

887
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 6: holes that need to be filled in the back end

888
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 6: of the bullpen. As of today, you don't really know

889
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 6: who your closer is going to be. I think the

890
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 6: assumption is that it's going to be Tony Santien, but

891
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 6: like that's going to be a major issue. I don't

892
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 6: know how if it matters how many home runs Kyle

893
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 6: Schwarber hits, if you can't prevent the other team from scoring.

894
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 6: Much like the Joe Burrow and the Bengals defense conversation, Yeah,

895
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 6: I would.

896
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: Like to know.

897
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 6: I would like to ask Nick Crawl this or anybody

898
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 6: from the Reds organization. They've done it in the past,

899
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 6: deferred money. They did it with Ken Griffey Jr. They

900
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 6: did it with Bronson Arroyo. I know that ultimately they

901
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 6: weren't a big fan of that. But I wonder is

902
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 6: deferred money and deferring it down the line away or

903
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 6: a path for more small market teams to be competitive.

904
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 6: And would Kyle Schwarber, knowing that he's on the back

905
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 6: nine of his major league career, be open to taking

906
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 6: a deal like that and deferring years down the line

907
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 6: if it makes sense, and if there is that a

908
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 6: way of taking a quote unquote hometown discount, or maybe

909
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 6: he's not taking that much of a discount, but he's

910
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 6: getting that money later on in life.

911
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: I just think it would be a disservice to at

912
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: least not reach out to Kyle and his representation and

913
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: meet and just say, is there any scenario where we

914
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: can make this work. Here's where we're at. We're trying

915
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: to understand where you're at and if if it works,

916
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 2: if it makes sense, let's do it. Yeah. Like that,

917
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: that's all at the very least, and we know the

918
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: Reds will do that. They'll at least kick the tires

919
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 2: on something and for what it's worth. Nick Kral said

920
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: last night on the Red Hot Stove League Show that

921
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 2: when they were at the GM meetings, they met with

922
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: every agent, they met with every team, like they did

923
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: their homework on a lot of stuff.

924
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, which is good to hear. I don't know if

925
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 6: exactly what it means. Kyle Schwarber's agent is Casey Close

926
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 6: from Excel Sports Management, so thank god it's not Scott Boris.

927
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 6: But you know, Kral did at least make it seem

928
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 6: that they talked to every agent at the GM meetings.

929
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: You know, what, do you have any idea what Kyle

930
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: Schwarbers war was last year? I don't haven't looked at it.

931
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Scherer's war Winds Above replacement was four point seven.

932
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: What could this team have done last year with five

933
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: more wins. Yeah, even if it's at that spot right now,

934
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: five more wins to this team last year makes the
