Speaker 3: Green Bay for the Bengals and the Packers.

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: I suggested.

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 3: You kind of do that win in Rome thing and

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: in green Bay, Wisconsin, they drink a lot. I recommended

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: that as a way to spend the next couple of

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,320

Speaker 3: I am in until then, joining me today Drew Wester

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: Heidi on the ones and twues. And I'm gonna be honest, guys,

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: this sucks. I really don't want to be here. I

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: don't I don't want to have to do this, but

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: uh but I agreed to uh to fill in for

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: these days, and uh here I am.

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: So we we pushed forward. But I I'm.

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: I know you you heard a lot from from Austin yesterday,

24
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: you heard a lot from MO yesterday. And I definitely

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: can't say it as well as them. They they worked

26
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: with Tony Pike every day.

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: Uh, but.

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: I've been friends with Tony for a long time and

29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: uh we we've worked together many many times over the years,

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: and it's it's awful. Tony's got a great family, love,

31
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 3: his love, his wife. I've I've gotten to know his

32
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: kids through different events and and them being around over

33
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 3: the years. And uh, you know this, This feels wrong

34
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: for me to be sitting here and doing this. I

35
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: know feels wrong for you for you guys to be

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: sitting there and listening to me doing this. But here

37
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: we are, and that's that's the reality of life sometimes.

38
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: And I I hate it because.

39
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: Tony aside.

40
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: And I have countless wonderful things to say about Tony,

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: but Tony Aside, I hate this just as much because

42
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: sports coverage in this city got worse yesterday. This is

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: a town with good sports coverage, but it's not a

44
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: town with a lot of sports coverage. It's not a

45
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: town that is busting at the seams with outlets covering

46
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: the teams. I know that because I've lived it for

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: nineteen years. It is a town that relies on what

48
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: we have.

49
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: To be very good to be one of us.

50
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: And I've thought about this a lot over the past

51
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: twenty four hours. Notice there's not a lot of outsiders

52
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: in this town doing this. Almost everybody is either from

53
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: Cincinnati or from Ohio that grew up rooting for Cincinnati teams,

54
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: teams that that grew up with skin in the game.

55
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: There's nobody with more skin in the game than Tony Pike.

56
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: There's nobody doing this. What you got You gotta go

57
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: back kind of to to Joe Nuxhall as a local

58
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: that that made a path, that did this at a

59
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: high level, that knew what it meant. And that was

60
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: one of the things that that Tony was able to

61
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: bring to the airwaves that was so unique is not

62
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: only was he a great player, Tony goes into the

63
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: UC Hall of Fame very soon, he uh, he meant

64
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: a lot, not only as the quarterback of those UC

65
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: teams that made use football fans believe that that type

66
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: of success was even possible, but he was one of us.

67
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: He lived and died every Sunday with the Bengals. He

68
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: lived and died with every Reds game. Trust me, more

69
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: than anything, he lived and died with UC basketball. I

70
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: got the brunt of that more often than not, because

71
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: Tony always wanted to talk about it because it impacted him,

72
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: because he had skin in the game. And it's almost

73
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: impossible these days to find somebody that reached the level

74
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: of success that Tony achieved as an athlete in this

75
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 3: town that also was able to sit here in this chair,

76
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: talk into this microphone and resonate with the fans because

77
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: it was real. Because I've I've been in here on

78
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: a on a Wednesday after a tough UC loss and

79
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: seen how it impacted Tony's mood. He was just a

80
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: normal guy when it came to that. Put the quarterback aside.

81
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: Tony wanted nothing more than for UC to get a

82
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: win that Tuesday night, and they lost a heartbreaker, or

83
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: or they lost a game that you know, maybe they

84
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: were favored to win and and and didn't get the

85
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: job done, didn't play well, and that resonated. And there's

86
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: very little of that, especially at that level, from a

87
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: former athlete that had accomplished all that Tony had accomplished,

88
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: because let's be real, a lot of times those people

89
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: aren't in touch with that. They're not fans, they're analysts,

90
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: they're they're breaking down games, they're talking about what they see,

91
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: and they're very good at it, but you can tell

92
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: they can't feel it. And from the time he started

93
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: in radio to yesterday, you could feel it. With Tony,

94
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: it mattered, It meant something. He tossed and turned at

95
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: night in his bed after a tough UC basketball loss,

96
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: after a tough Bengals loss, because he grew up the

97
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: same way we all did, watching games with our families, dad, grandpa, brothers, cousins,

98
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. And that was the rare thing

99
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: that Tony brought to this show, to these airwaves, to

100
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: this station. And it got worse now that he's not

101
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: currently part of that system, not having his ability to

102
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: break things down, to explain things while not talking over

103
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: the head of somebody that didn't play high, high level

104
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: quarterback in college and make it to the NFL. He

105
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: made you understand it. He was able to sit in

106
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: this chair and every day, Monday through Friday, twelve to three,

107
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: give an expert opinion from somebody that cared, when's the

108
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: next time that's going to come along.

109
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: If it's not Tony Pike. That's what stinks.

110
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: Because he, you know, he wasn't great at when he

111
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: great at it when he started, but you could tell

112
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: he was very natural at it. He's very conversational, somebody

113
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: that drew you in, and he worked hard at it,

114
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: and we would bust his chops early on in his

115
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: and his tenure here that yeah, maybe had too many

116
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: crutch words or what you know, whatever, whatever broadcasting inadequacies

117
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: he had early in his career, but he worked at it.

118
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: He got better, and he attracted an audience, and he

119
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: made this station better every day, and now it supports

120
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: coverage in this town lost one of its vocal leaders,

121
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: one of its most prominent figures, and that stinks because

122
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: there's not enough of us out here to begin with.

123
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: So to take one of the guys from the top

124
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: of the food chain is painful. And I've dreaded doing

125
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: this since I found out yesterday that Tony wasn't going

126
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: to be here, since I found out why, I was

127
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: asked to fill in today, tomorrow and Monday.

128
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: And I hate it. I hate it because.

129
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 5: The people in this town, and you could see it yesterday,

130
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 5: how angry people were, how upset people were, how many

131
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 5: people had organized their day starting at noon, running all

132
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 5: the way to six o'clock listening to Tony and Austin

133
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: here and then mo after and Austin's going to carry

134
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: on this show and it'll still be a good show.

135
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: Austin has gotten really good at this. But even Austin

136
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 5: will tell you part of the reason he's gotten really

137
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: good at this not only is because of his hard

138
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 5: work and his dedication and how many hours he's put

139
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 5: into it, but because he got to sit next to Tony,

140
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 5: because they got to work together and build something together,

141
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: and they were able to do something that in the

142
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: sports media world, in the internet media world that is

143
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, is almost impossible.

144
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: They built a community. That's what.

145
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: Generates success now. Your ability to build a community, Your

146
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: ability to build people that are that feel connected, that

147
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: feel like even though they've maybe never met you, or

148
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: they've met you once or twice, that they know you.

149
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: And one of the ways they did that and this

150
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: was always fascinating to me. I don't know if you

151
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: guys realize, Like talkbacks were rolled out to the entire

152
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: country at iHeartMedia, entire country, any station, pull it up,

153
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: listen to the show, hit the microphone, leave a talkback.

154
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: This show, this show is the only show I know

155
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: of in the country that turned it into something that

156
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: took it and ran with it. And by doing that,

157
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: they built their community. I've heard it mentioned. Austin said

158
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: this to me yesterday. So it's a cult like following

159
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: why because they understood, and Tony was a big part

160
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: of that. They understood that interaction, that connectivity, that feeling

161
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: like you're part of the show is what made this

162
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: show so successful over the past five years or so,

163
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: because you felt like you were a part of it,

164
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: and Tony brought you in and you felt like every

165
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 3: time you left a talk back you were sitting there

166
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: with Tony and Austin and you were you were part

167
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: of this. And that's been in some ways ripped away.

168
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: And everybody's mad. I'm mad. Stinks. Stinks walking in this

169
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: building and Tony not being here. Talk to my dad

170
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: on the way in today said that he's upset because

171
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: it had become a part of his day. Twelve to

172
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: three listening to Tony and Austin, it's it's frustrating and

173
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: and you know again, I could say a million great

174
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: things about Tony and we could. We could go till

175
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: twelve thirty with this segment, me giving stories and anecdotes

176
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: of of all the times that the toe he had

177
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: me cracking up, you know, sidelines of games that you

178
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: see when he's sideline reporting. We would generally powow at

179
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: halftime and discuss what was going on, what we were seeing.

180
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes it was the highest of highs. They really gonna

181
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 3: do that? Are they really gonna make it to the

182
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: college football playoff tonight?

183
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: Too?

184
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: It's bad, bro, this is bad. I don't want I'm

185
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: ready to take the rest of the day off. Do

186
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: we have to do this? We have to go four quarters?

187
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: Can we just end here? Tony's gonna land on his feet.

188
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: That's he will.

189
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's something to do with Cincinnati sports again, because

190
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: I think the Cincinnati sports landscape got worse yesterday and

191
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: it will continue to be worse until or if Tony

192
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: Pike finds his way back into this stratosphere, into this

193
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: arena because he was really freaking good at it. There's

194
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: very few people out there you can listen around the country.

195
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: There's very few people out there that were able to

196
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: balance being an expert, being somebody that sees things from

197
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: a different lens because they lived it and mixes it

198
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: with just being a guy from reading that you can

199
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: go find hanging out at Augie's.

200
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: That's hard. It's hard.

201
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: How do I know it's hard because there's so few

202
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: people out there that can do it, and Tony is

203
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: one of them that could. And I'm still angry that,

204
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, that came to a close yesterday. Drew

205
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: and I are going to do our best to get

206
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: this show through the next couple of days. Drew, you're

207
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: here today. I think I think Taren is gonna be

208
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: with me Monday or Friday and Monday, Drew, you haven't

209
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: had an.

210
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: Opportunity to speak on it. Would you like a moment,

211
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: I'll take a moment. I'll be brief. I've started here,

212
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: I've been working here for a little over two years now.

213
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: Austin and me go back to high school. He's the

214
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 5: reason I got my foot in the door here, So

215
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 5: I have a lot to thank for Austin to getting

216
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 5: me where I am.

217
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: But I worked on this show.

218
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: I want to say it was probably three weeks after

219
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: I started, and Austin was gone somewhere, so I got

220
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: to work with Tony.

221
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: First time I'd ever met Tony.

222
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: And you know, I didn't grow up watching UC football,

223
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 5: so I didn't really you know, I I remember the name.

224
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know much about him.

225
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: You know, I knew he was good at football, but

226
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 5: I could tell from the first conversation I had with him,

227
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: how genuine of a guy he was, how easy going and.

228
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: Easy to talk to he was.

229
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: And he made me a part of this show right away,

230
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: not even asking if I had ever talked into him.

231
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 6: I care.

232
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: He didn't care. He was like, yeah, you know, Drew,

233
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 5: what do you think about this? I think it was

234
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 5: about you know, the Bengals or something, and I, you know,

235
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: I spoke. And I always treasured the opportunities I got

236
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: to come on this show because, as you talked about,

237
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 5: the community of people that this show cultivated was very

238
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 5: very cool and very very unique. Across sports talk radio.

239
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: I listened to a lot of sports talk radio shows.

240
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: I listened to a lot of sports podcast and this

241
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 5: one is always my favorite to listen to. Even when

242
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: I wasn't working on it, I would tune in and

243
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 5: listen because I respected Tony and I always wanted to

244
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 5: hear what he had to say and what Austin had

245
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: to say. So when I found out the news that

246
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 5: Tony had been let go, I was you know, I

247
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 5: was devastated, and I just want to take this chance.

248
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 5: If Tony's listening, I hope he isn't. I hope he's

249
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: enjoying his something I always on the golf course chasing

250
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 5: like a little white ball around Today it's a beautiful,

251
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 5: beautiful day outside. But if he is, I just want

252
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 5: to say thank you from the bottom of my heart

253
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: for giving me a chance to be on these airwaves

254
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 5: and talk about sports in Cincinnati. It's something you know,

255
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 5: I've always kind of thought I've wanted to do with

256
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: my life, and you know, Tony was kind of the

257
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: first person who opened that door for me. So I'll

258
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 5: forever be indebted to him, forever thankful for him, and

259
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: much like you, it stinks to be sitting in this

260
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: chair today doing the show without him, but we gotta

261
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 5: press on. We got to talk. We've got a job

262
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 5: to do. We do and let's go do the job.

263
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 5: So talkbacks today. Didn't run him yesterday. I think you

264
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: guys can understand why. It's a lot of emotion. There's

265
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 5: a lot of anger. I get it. I have a

266
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: lot of emotion. I have a lot of anger.

267
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: Drew and I want to do talkbacks today, but we

268
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: can't do talkbacks if they're not reasonable. You want to

269
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: talk sports, let's talk sports. You want to leave a

270
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 3: message for Tony, leave a message for Tony. You wanna

271
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: vent your frustrations at iHeart, it's probably not the format

272
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: to do that. Why Mainly it doesn't bother me any

273
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: like I've got I'm good. I don't need this. I

274
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: do this kind of for fun. I'm good. But but

275
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: Drew has a job. Drew needs a job, yes, and

276
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 3: we do not want to Ultimately, Drew is responsible for

277
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: what is played from that computer onto the airwaves. And

278
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: Drew I would never ask Drew to put him in

279
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 3: a position, put himself in a position to put that

280
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 3: in jeopardy.

281
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind.

282
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: You want to talk Bengals packers, Please please for Drew,

283
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: for Drew, do this for Drew. You want to talk

284
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: Bengals packers, Let's talk Bengals packers. You want to talk

285
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: you see Central Florida, Middle Florida Institute of hospitality, as

286
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: I've been calling it this week.

287
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: Do that.

288
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: You want to you wanna tell Tony you love him

289
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: and that you miss him and that you hope to

290
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: hear him soon somewhere.

291
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: Do that.

292
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: But I'm sure you guys can understand. They're they're gonna

293
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: be screened. We can't let anything through that would cause problems.

294
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: Are there some things we'd like to let through that

295
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: would cause problems? Maybe because this isn't this isn't a

296
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 3: Cincinnati thing. This is a corporate thing. There's nothing that

297
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: was done here on this level that put us in

298
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: this position. So I'm mad talk back at Chad. Let's

299
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: not do that. Let's not do that. If you if

300
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: you want to do I'm mad, tweet at Chad. You

301
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 3: can tweet at me, and that's fine, and maybe I'll

302
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: I'll censor it and edit it and read it on

303
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: the air. But let's do talkbacks today. But let's try

304
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: our best to stay within the lines. Let's color within

305
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: the lines on talkbacks today. How's that, Drew? Is that

306
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: a good way to put it? That's a good way

307
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: to put it, because I've colored out of the lines

308
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: for like twenty five hours now.

309
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: But we got a show to do.

310
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: That show will include Richard Skinner. At one o'clock, we'll

311
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: do talkbacks in their normal spot. After we talked to

312
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: Skinny and I figured Drew, I had to offer a

313
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: peace offering, Ama kulpa if you will, and so I

314
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 3: reached out. And today at two o'clock, we will talk

315
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: to the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball program,

316
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: Wes Miller, to get an update on the preseason. They

317
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: are eight days away drew from their first exhibition game

318
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: of the preseason as they head up to ann Arbor

319
00:21:53,240 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 3: to take on a top five loaded Michigan Wolverine squad. So,

320
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: last at two o'clock, we'll talk some UC basketball, we'll

321
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: talk some UC football, we'll talk some Bengals. We'll talk

322
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: to Skinny, we'll talk to Wes. We're gonna entertain you.

323
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna do our best. I don't know if we'll

324
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 3: make you laugh a whole lot today, even though hopefully

325
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: we get there. Let's take a break and we'll get

326
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: this show started. More after this Sincy three sixty, Cincinnati's

327
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: ESPN fifteen thirty.

328
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 7: Now your chance to win one thousand in the NATI

329
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 7: brought to you by Postman Law on ESPN fifteen thirty,

330
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 7: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals.

331
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: Okay, Drew Well deep cut like it.

332
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: Welcome back Sincy three sixty right here on Cincinnati's ESPN

333
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 3: fifteen thirty. Time talk some football. Let's let's get the

334
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: let's refocus, Drew. We guys shift. It's like a cornerback

335
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: that just got beat. Right, you got snap and clear,

336
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: Get back to the line of scrimmage. Get ready for

337
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: the next rep. Short memory, short memory, got to talk

338
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 3: some football. Time to talk some Bengals. And the only

339
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: way I can really look at this Joe Flacco thing, Drew,

340
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: And this is what came to my brain, like immediately

341
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: when I saw it Tuesday afternoon sitting up at UC

342
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: It's a hail Mary. Yeah, it's a hail Mary because

343
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: there's nothing left after this, Like you're not just if

344
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco doesn't work out a month from now, you're

345
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: not then going and trading for Russell Wilson or Jameis

346
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Winston like like this is you know, Joe Burrow got hurt.

347
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: You had a backup plan.

348
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 3: That backup plan was terrible, just whatever, for whatever reason,

349
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: it did not work. This time for for Jake Browning.

350
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: So you have broken glass in case of emergency, and

351
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: you brought in Joe Flacco for a pickswap. I mean,

352
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: it's essentially a non factor what they gave up to

353
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: get him. But this is kind of it for this

354
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five Bengals squad, and quite frankly, maybe it

355
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 3: for this iteration of Cincinnati Bengals football is we know it,

356
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: and I don't know what to think of it. Drew Like,

357
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: on one hand, I can look at it and say,

358
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco is gonna know the assignment here right, He's

359
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: gonna have more weapons to work with than at any

360
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: other point in his career. He is gonna go behind center,

361
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: from the shotgun under center, whatever it is, and he's

362
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: gonna know he's got Jamar and t and Giseki and

363
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: Chase Brown and he's gonna know he's in pos position

364
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: to be successful.

365
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: But he's also forty years old.

366
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: I think him and I move it about the same clip,

367
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: and I am no longer spry, and he's playing behind

368
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 3: a disaster of an offensive line.

369
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 5: So I can see a path to this being somewhat successful.

370
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: Do I see a path to this like the Bengals

371
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: get back in the mix, and now you know, it's

372
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: late December and Joe Burrow returns and the Bengals are

373
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: charging for the playoffs and ready to take a run

374
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: at the Super Bowl.

375
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: No, I don't see that.

376
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: But do I see a land where Joe Flacco can

377
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: keep this team afloat and prevent them from the worst

378
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 3: case disaster scenario, which is scrapping everything but you know

379
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: the main part and having to start over. And I

380
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 3: I I don't know which way I lean Drew, I don't.

381
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: I don't know which way I think this is gonna go.

382
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 5: You know, this is fascinating to me because I watched

383
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 5: I talked about this a little bit yesterday with Austin,

384
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: but I watched just about every snap Joe Flacco took

385
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: for the Browns this year. And he's going from an

386
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 5: offensive line that was not good to another offensive line

387
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 5: that's not good. A lot of Browns fans would say

388
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 5: that the Bengals offensive line is worse. I think they're

389
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 5: about the same. They're both crappy. So but the point

390
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: of this, these guys are the best weapons he's ever

391
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 5: had on a football field in his entire career, going

392
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 5: back to Baltimore, his stops in New York, his stop

393
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 5: in Denver, his first tenure in Cleveland by far the

394
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: best weapons he's ever had to work with. So if

395
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: you can dial up and scheme up ways to get

396
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: the ball out of his hands quickly and effectively, I

397
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 5: do think this could Now he can't move, as you

398
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: so eloquently put it, he can't move.

399
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: So you know, if you.

400
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 5: Have one breakdown along that offensive line, for not even

401
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 5: a long developing play like a medium developing, it could

402
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: go horribly. The other part of this is that the

403
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 5: Bengals have not shown the effectiveness of running the football

404
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 5: yet this year, and I think that is part of

405
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 5: what made Joe successful in Cleveland in twenty twenty three

406
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 5: was they weren't a great running team, but they could

407
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: at least do it effectively in spurts to open up

408
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 5: the play action game. It's what didn't work for the

409
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 5: Browns in the first games that he played with them

410
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 5: this year. The Browns can run the ball until Quinhawn

411
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: Junkins got on the field. Why wasn't Quinjohn Jenkins on

412
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 5: the field to begin for doing things that allegedly happened

413
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 5: and then were dropped. Yes, but that's besides the point.

414
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: So do I think, like, do I think you could

415
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 5: win some game for the Bengals?

416
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: I do? Do I think they're gonna win on Sunday?

417
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 7: No?

418
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: I do not.

419
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 5: You know, going into lambeau Field and having to face them,

420
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 5: and you know, the everyone's making the big deal by like, well,

421
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 5: you already beat the Packers, Like, well, you don't think

422
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: the Packers are going to look across there and see

423
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco and go, oh, we.

424
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: Get to face this guy again.

425
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: Did the Bengals get Miles Garrett for this weekend? Did

426
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: they get him also in the trade?

427
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: Not that I am aware of. If they did, I

428
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: would I would be much much more angry right now.

429
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 5: But I don't think it's gonna happen this week. And

430
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 5: then you know, you get you get Pittsburgh, who is

431
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 5: I think the most unconvincing three and one team in

432
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 5: the NFL, the most convincing, unconvincing one lost team in

433
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 5: the NFL, if you ask me.

434
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: And then your schedule lightens up a little bit.

435
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 5: You get the Jets, get the Bears, then you have

436
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: the Buy, then you get the Steelers again, and then

437
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 5: you have the run of Patriots, Ravens, Bills Ravens. Where

438
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 5: Lamar is you know, assuming Lamar is healthy? So know,

439
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: do I think this is a move that gets the

440
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: Bengals into the playoffs?

441
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 8: No?

442
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: Is this a move that I think the Bengals had

443
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: to make, Yes, whether it be for Joe Flacco or

444
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 5: somebody else, because you could not, absolutely could not move

445
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: forward with Jake Browning being your starting quarterback after how

446
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 5: he has played the last three games.

447
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were going to lose the locker room, you

448
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: were gonna lose the fan base. You're gonna lose Jamar. Yes,

449
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: and t and you know Te's kind of quiet, but behind.

450
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: The scenes, like you were not.

451
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: You were not going to be taken seriously if you

452
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: continued to run Jake Browning out there?

453
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: Correct, And I'll pose this question to you.

454
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 5: Do you think there is another quarterback not named Joe

455
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 5: Burrow or Joe Flacco or Jake Browning that takes a

456
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 5: snap for the Bengals this year?

457
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean.

458
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: There might be there. They're very well might be. Do

459
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: I think there's a like do you think Sean Clifford

460
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: is going to get a snap at some.

461
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: Point this year? I don't know that somebody on the roster.

462
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: Per se, But do you feel healthy that or feel

463
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: feel like positive that Joe Flacco is.

464
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: Not gonna I mean, all it takes is one big shot, right,

465
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: you know, badass defensive end.

466
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, or a defensive tackle to just

467
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: squash him. Because the Bengals can't can't protect anybody at guard.

468
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: So I mean, I wouldn't bet on that. I would

469
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: take somebody else besides those guys take a snap by

470
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: the end of the year just because I Flacco sprains

471
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: an ankle or you know, lands lands wrong on a

472
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: on a shoulder, something along those lines. I don't but

473
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: the way that this line is operated, I wouldn't have

474
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: any confidence in that, would you.

475
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: Absolutely? I think there will be somebody else that takes

476
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 5: a snap. I don't necessarily want to say starts, but yeah,

477
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 5: comes in during the game, Yeah and spell somebody. Yeah,

478
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: because I I just I don't know. And like I said,

479
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 5: I think I said it yesterday. I've watched I watched

480
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: almost every snap and it was not good. It was

481
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 5: about the third quarter of the Detroit Lions game where

482
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,320

595
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 13: really you're really missing out on the elites.

596
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: I know, I just haven't had time.

597
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,920

598
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: season in high school, and that like they they're they're

599
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: They've got matches three nights a week, and then I've

600
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: got podcast stuff for the Bearcat Journal Network, and I

601
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: just haven't I haven't been home or had time.

602
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,160

603
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's not. There's no Cinderella story. It's like the

604
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 13: elites are really just battling it out. Yeah, it's not

605
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 13: what I called for. Joe Flacco. Everybody needs to readjust

606
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 13: their expectations because everybody thinks, you know, either he's going

607
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 13: to go in and bomb or he has the ability

608
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 13: to go in and win like seven games straight. The

609
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 13: dude just needs to come in and get us to

610
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 13: nine and eight and just keep us five hundred or

611
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 13: a game or two above, and God help us. If

612
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 13: we can get to ten and seven, uh, you know,

613
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 13: win every other game or something, or you know, keep

614
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 13: us five hundred or a couple of games games about

615
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 13: five hundred. The dude's got the weapons.

616
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, I mean, here's my thing, Jim.

617
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: I think this is the most important stretch of games,

618
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: not only for Zach Taylor, but for Duke Tobin, because sure,

619
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 3: if they can put this together and they can stay

620
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: in the race and they can get to you know,

621
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 3: ten and seven, nine and eight, you know, and and

622
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: and be and hang around in the mix, then there's

623
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: some proof of concept for these young guys that have

624
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 3: not worked out yet. If this thing continues to fall apart,

625
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: I think you have to make wholesale changes.

626
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: You have to.

627
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 13: Who's it on if they go one and six in

628
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 13: the next seven, who's that on?

629
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: I think it's on Duke. I think it's his roster.

630
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 13: I think it's on Zach.

631
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: I think I mean, I think it's also on I'm

632
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: not absolving Zach from blame here at all, Jim, but

633
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: this is Duke Tobin's roster.

634
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 13: I think Zach's a pretender, I really do. You might

635
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 13: be right, I don't know. You know what the Sissa

636
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 13: Bengals need. They need a head coach that's really gritty.

637
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 13: Here's the thing. Here's the thing with Zach. Zach is

638
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 13: a kind of coach where he goes up to his

639
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 13: player and puts his arm around him and makes you

640
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 13: feel good.

641
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: But Jim, no, no, Jim, you realize that, like for

642
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: for years and years and years and years, everybody said

643
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: thirty years to be exact, uc needed a coach that wasn't.

644
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 2: So much of a a you know what to his.

645
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 4: Players, right, players coach a player's coach.

646
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: They need somebody that related to the players, because Hugs

647
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: and Mick spent too much time screaming at him and

648
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 3: yelling at him, and they played too tight and they

649
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 3: were always looking over their shoulder. And then you get

650
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 3: a player's coach. They need a hard like that. It's

651
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: always the eye. Whatever you have. If you're winning, it's fine,

652
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: and if you're losing, you want the other kind.

653
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 13: Well look at Dan Campbell, though, sure but I bet

654
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 13: his players are scared to death. Yeah, but that's a

655
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 13: that's a brainiac.

656
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay. You know, there's there's more than.

657
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 12: Zack is not.

658
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 3: There's more than one way to skin a cat, Jim,

659
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: and I always wondered about that one, because why were

660
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: people skinning cats?

661
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 13: I don't know, Jim, Jack. Jack is not a brainiac.

662
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 13: And Zack is not a hard line coach. Okay, he says,

663
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 13: pretender to sits on the side lines and thanks, you know, Okay,

664
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 13: he's jumped the shark man. He just he's in over

665
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 13: his head. That's all I got to say.

666
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: All Right, I appreciate the call, Jim, thank you.

667
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 5: I would I just want to make one comment about

668
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 5: because I had a feeling when he said that you

669
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 5: need that gritty coach that he was going to go

670
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 5: the Dan Campbell round.

671
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's the flavor of the month.

672
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 5: Well, the thing is is that if you really like

673
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 5: pay attention to how Dan Campbell coaches that team, he

674
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 5: isn't like in your face like he is. He is

675
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 5: a players coach because he you know, he played, he

676
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 5: knows what it takes. M When I was when they

677
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 5: were on hard knocks, what this would have been two

678
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 5: years ago now or maybe three years ago. I was

679
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 5: expecting him to be like all in everybody's face kind

680
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: of and he straight up was not that.

681
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: And I I I always.

682
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 5: Found that uh like dichotomy of him very very fascinating.

683
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 5: I think that's why he's so successful, because he has

684
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 5: struck the balance between making his team a gritty like

685
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 5: drag you into the deep end and fight it out

686
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 5: down here, while at the same time being like, you know,

687
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 5: putting his arm around a guy when he needs to,

688
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 5: or saying the right thing when he needs to. So

689
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 5: I think, you know, Dan Campbell, he's kind of like

690
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 5: a you know, one in a million kind of coach.

691
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 5: And if the Bengals want to hire some big, defensive

692
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 5: minded guy be my guest.

693
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

694
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 3: Well, I just think it's funny because it's always everybody else.

695
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 3: If you're not winning, you want the other kind. Correct.

696
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: If you're winning, it's fine. The kind you have is

697
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 3: perfect binary business. Let's take a break, we'll take we'll

698
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: take whatever it. We'll get to the phone lines to

699
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: close out the hour, and then Richard Skinner at the

700
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 3: top of hour two. This is since he three sixty

701
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 3: on Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty. All right, let's keep it

702
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: rolling to close out hour number two. Let's get down

703
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: on it. Things are going well, Drew, so far, so good.

704
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: I know everybody's mad and everybody's upset, but there's a

705
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 3: show to do. We're grinding it out and for that show.

706
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: Now we're going to go to Marcus and Florence. Who

707
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: wants to talk about Joe Flackom Marcus, what's up my brother?

708
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: Hey? How are you doing? I'm good?

709
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 12: You uh, well good, no matter what under the.

710
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: Circumstances, agreed as good as possible.

711
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 13: How's that right?

712
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 15: So you could have given me ten to fifteen guesses

713
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 15: last week? Joe FLACKA wouldn't have been number twenty on

714
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 15: my list.

715
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: I thought they would go get.

716
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 3: But really completely if you think about it, it makes sense, right,

717
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: Like looking back on it now in retrospect, he's safe,

718
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna, he's gonna. He's a quick learner. You're gonna

719
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: be able to teach him the offense and install it quick.

720
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: You can get him up to speed by Saturday or Sunday.

721
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 3: It makes sense in retrospect.

722
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean on that part, but yeah, I just

723
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 15: look at it more like we should have gotten somebody

724
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 15: that could.

725
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: Run for their life.

726
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, he's by far the worst possible person he could have.

727
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: Gotten to run.

728
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 15: But I know, like on Mondays and all that, Tony

729
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 15: would do like a video breakdown of quarterbacks and all that.

730
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 15: And there was a lot of times on Sunday just

731
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 15: that alone. How many checks downs Jake Browning missed on that.

732
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 12: Part of it.

733
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 14: I believe Flacco.

734
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: Won't miss those. You will find the checkdowns. That's a promise.

735
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 4: So here, So here's my question.

736
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 15: Do you think ten wins with the AFC the way

737
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 15: it is gets us in.

738
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 12: So so, if.

739
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 15: It's a timetable, the minimum timetable for Burrow, they like

740
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 15: from what when when the Thurdery first happened, the the

741
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 15: map out looked like around the Miami Dolphins game would

742
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 15: be his first game back. So that would mean three

743
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 15: games with Joe, the Dolphins, the Cardinals, and the Browns.

744
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 15: If Flacco can get us five wins between now and

745
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 15: then to get us the seven and then we went

746
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 15: out the last three. If Burrow comes back on that

747
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 15: minimum timetable, I mean I would take that at this point.

748
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 2: I would take that and run with this.

749
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I mean so that like that, that's the

750
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 15: only hope I've got. And I mean, I don't know

751
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 15: how this week's.

752
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: Gonna go, but I do agree with what.

753
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 15: Drew said earlier about after this week, the next three

754
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 15: are winnable games with Flacco.

755
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: Let's see if they can get through this one and

756
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 3: see where they go from here. Appreciate the cal Marcus.

757
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 4: Yep, I don't agree.

758
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 3: Thank you, John and Boston. One more before we go

759
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 3: to break John. How you doing good?

760
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 16: Chad good Drew, I just want to echo youse statements

761
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 16: about Tony's very well said good Man.

762
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: Thank you.

763
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 16: I'm looking at jump ball. Joe Flacco behind this offensive

764
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 16: line is kind of like elderly abuse.

765
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not he can't move at all. It

766
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: seems not fair.

767
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to get it out quick, Joe.

768
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 16: Yep, exactly. Yeah, Like I mean when when Big Dan

769
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 16: Joe got hurt a month ago, he got hit one

770
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 16: point three seconds after the snap, I mean, which doesn't

771
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 16: even seem possible that way, but just real quickly, because

772
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 16: you are in there obviously a lot more than the

773
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 16: rest of us. When Joe Burrow put out his Instagram,

774
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 16: this game will break your heart see you soon. I

775
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 16: kind of put that maybe he's a head of schedule.

776
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 14: I don't know.

777
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 16: I'm not a doctor, but he seems to be in

778
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 16: a walking boot, not on a scooter, not with a cat.

779
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 16: Maybe he's a little bit ahead of schedule. His dad

780
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 16: had said, he's a fast Steeler. Who knows if you

781
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 16: can get the Bears the Jets, you can split with

782
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 16: the Pittsburgh Steelers now here at five wins, and if

783
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 16: he's back with four or five games left, maybe you're

784
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 16: kind of in there somewhere. That's what the old should be.

785
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 14: Yeah.

786
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 4: I mean.

787
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: The thing that I that you have to think too, though, Jay,

788
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 3: is that you've got to take care of Joe Burrow

789
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 3: long term, and that is a it's a weird injury

790
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 3: like in that spot, like you got to be careful

791
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 3: what you just have to make sure you're not going

792
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 3: to put him back out there at you know, eighty

793
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: five percent, because it's not fair to him and your

794
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 3: franchise for the commitment you've made long term. If he

795
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 3: can get back to one hundred percent, sure, that just

796
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: seems unlikely at this point.

797
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, because you've got so many of those injury concerns

798
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 16: that you would have. Yeah, Okay, the toe is healing.

799
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 16: Next thing, you know, the ankle's not so strong. And

800
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 16: then we thought that may be an issue with his

801
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 16: achilles a couple of years ago because of the calf.

802
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 16: And then that's the same leg he had the knee

803
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 16: injury with. So yeah, they're all tied together. Obviously you

804
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 16: want to see him come back because he's such a

805
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 16: great player and a good guy. But you know, obviously

806
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 16: sometimes you have to keep these guys from themselves and

807
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 16: get them back one hundred percent absolutely priority number one.

808
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 4: Guys.

809
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 3: What John, the hip bones connected to the knee bone.

810
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: Knee bones connected to the leg bone.

811
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 16: Yeah, and this poor young man seems to know a

812
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 16: lot about that. Yes, I kind of said, I'm a

813
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 16: quick heeler because I've had a lot of experience.

814
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: Exactly, keep them up right.

815
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 16: You've got a chance to do whatever you can do

816
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 16: because he's that good.

817
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks, John, appreciate it. Man, Take care fellas

818

Speaker 3: there a baseball game on TBS yesterday?

832
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: Two of them? Okay?

833
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 3: That makes sense because the TV and here is on

834
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: TBS and Friends is on, And every time I watch Friends,

835
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 3: I always wonder why was it so cold on the set?

836
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: I wonder why it always looks freezing on that set?

837
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 5: I guess I never really thought about that, now that

838
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 5: you say it, yeah it does.

839
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 3: What do you think Skinny thinks about that? Skinny ever

840
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 3: wonder about that? Why it was so cold on the

841
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 3: Friends set?

842
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 14: Never once wondered that.

843
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: Do you haven't watched close enough?

844
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 14: I know where you're doing with that.

845
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 12: I never thought about that.

846
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 3: Richard Skinner, Local twelve Digital content editor, Skenny, you're often

847
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 3: a voice of reason. You're you're somebody I go to

848
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 3: to uh put things in perspective, What is a reasonable

849
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 3: expectation of what this looks like with Joe Flacco at

850
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 3: the helm for the Bengals.

851
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 14: I honestly don't know. And I'm being serious about that

852
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 14: because no, because the Joe Flacco of earlier this year

853
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 14: looked like a forty year old quarterback that was being

854
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 14: played out of desperation because they had two rookies behind

855
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 14: him up in Cleveland. But the arm is still there.

856
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 14: I think that. I mean, you can even go back

857
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 14: all the way back to Baltimore day is now. He

858
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 14: did have Steve Smith for a period of time, but

859
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 14: for the most part, he never really had great weapons

860
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 14: in the receiver in Baltimore. Didn't have that in Denver

861
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 14: the year he played in Denver, you know, had it

862
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 14: kind of last year with the Colts, but then their

863
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 14: their main guys got hurt, so he really didn't have

864
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 14: it last year with the Colts. This is probably the

865
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 14: best weaponry he's played with now. Certainly the offensive line

866
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 14: is not the best offensive line he's played behind, and

867
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 14: that's gonna factor into some of this. But I tell you,

868
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 14: I don't I just don't know, because he can still

869
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 14: fling it. I saw some really good things in Cleveland

870
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 14: that the day the Bengals played there. In the opener,

871
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 14: you know, the two interceptions he threw literally were balls

872
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 14: that bounced off of receiver's hand each time, So there

873
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 14: were two ricochets that you know, he gets charged for

874
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 14: the interception, but you know, really that's kind of on

875
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 14: the receivers in the two cases. So I still see

876
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 14: him make some strong arm throws. I just that's why,

877
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 14: I just honestly don't know.

878
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 2: What does this offense look like Sunday?

879
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: Like he's he's gonna have what three days, three prime

880
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 3: practices really to uh to fully walk through? Yeah, two

881
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 3: practice is gonna walk through. I was being kind on

882
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 3: the walk through being a practice, but he's not gonna

883
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 3: have enough a lot of time to get up to speed.

884
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 3: What do you think this offense looks like? And because

885
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,959
Speaker 3: it's usually pretty simple, I don't know, as the word

886
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 3: it's not super complex.

887
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: How much does that help?

888
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 14: You know Zach Tayl's system just a couple of weeks

889
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 14: ago that that you know, when we look at get

890
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 14: bringing quarterbacks in here, we think our system is one

891
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 14: that they can pick up pretty quickly, Like the verbiage

892
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 14: is probably similar to other playbooks and all those things too.

893
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 14: You've got a pretty smart guy. Joe Flacco is a

894
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 14: smart dude. He's done this before. We did this two

895
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 14: years ago in Cleveland. Came off the couch and was

896
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 14: quickly starting. I think he had a week, maybe an

897
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 14: extra week to prepare, but he started pretty quickly there.

898
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 12: I mean, let's face the.

899
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 14: Facts on this part. This doesn't happen without this being

900
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 14: a desperate move, pray, without it being a correct I mean, like,

901
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 14: you don't bring a guy, even a smart guy, in

902
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 14: on Tuesday and start him on Sunday if you're not

903
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 14: totally desperate for change. And so we have to get

904
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 14: that part clear. But I have Zach that question yesterday.

905
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 14: You know you had to scale back, and he said, yeah,

906
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 14: I have to be mindful of it, but you know,

907
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 14: not a whole lot, I don't think. And so I

908
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 14: think that speaks to you know, I'm sure you heard

909
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 14: some of the cults from yesterday were literally you know,

910
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 14: black O. A couple hours after getting traded, his wife

911
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 14: packed up their place and hopped in a car with

912
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 14: the Bengals providing a driver, and drove down Ice seventy

913
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 14: one from Cleveland to Cincinnati, and on that time he

914
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 14: spent time on the phone, a lot of time on

915
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 14: the phone with was Zach going over some things and

916
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 14: so trying I mean talking about hitting ground running. And

917
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 14: he hit the ground running two hours after he was

918
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 14: traded here. And so I have no a fan. Yesterday

919
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 14: after practice and I know some others talked to some

920
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 14: other players it said he said it was pretty seamless

921
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 14: and went pretty smooth. So I didn't think that was

922
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 14: just you know, idle talk. I think they really did

923
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 14: go smooth. So I think that's the good part. You

924
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 14: did pick up a guy that if you're going to

925
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 14: pick up a guy on a Tuesday and expecting to

926
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 14: play on a Sunday, this is probably one of the

927
00:52:58,600 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 14: few guys that can do that.

928
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: In terms of the line. Do they do things any different?

929
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got a guy back there that is

930
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 3: not fleet of foot, uh, and you just cannot allow

931
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 3: the like free runners that Joe Flacco. It's not going

932
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 3: to end well for anybody. Is there anything they can

933
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 3: do different?

934
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 12: There is?

935
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 2: Is it too late in that process?

936
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 3: Like how do they handle knowing that they're going from

937
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 3: what they've had to a guy that.

938
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: Is kind of a statue back there.

939
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, you're probably gonna end up having a lot of

940
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 14: tight end stain in the block. You're probably gonna have

941
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 14: a lot of the running back staying in the block.

942
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 14: You're probably gonna have sometimes where there's two dudes out

943
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 14: on routes the number one, number one, number five and

944
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 14: expect them to get some separation and expect them to

945
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 14: put the ball where it's supposed to be and on time.

946
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 14: So yeah, I think they have to do some things

947
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 14: do that you can't. I mean with Joe Burrow, they

948
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 14: did a lot of single blocking, right and if the

949
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 14: play broke down, Joe was pretty good obviously at extending

950
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 14: and sometimes extending to his detriment was which is what

951
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 14: happened when he when he got hurt, but he was

952
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 14: That was what he did last year so well, was

953
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 14: unscripted stuff and you could try to single block and

954
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 14: if you want, and it was even better if you didn't.

955
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 14: Joe would create. You can't expect that to happen here.

956
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 14: The one way I will say about about Flaco, probably

957
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 14: even though Jake Browning tried to talk it into fruition,

958
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 14: I mean, I think he is a guy that sees

959
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 14: a rush coming and just is gonna throw it away.

960
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 14: I'm gonna live for the next down, or I'll take

961
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 14: a sack and just have to eat it. And you know,

962
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 14: I think you're gonna have some of that. I mean,

963
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 14: I wish I could tell you there's a running game

964
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 14: to hang your hat on. If you don't have that,

965
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 14: maybe something changes there. I don't know. Maybe. I mean

966
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 14: there was a play in the in the last game

967
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 14: was an RPO that if Jake Browning hands off to

968
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 14: Chase brown it's a seventy yard game, I mean, and

969
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 14: he pulled it and tried to throw a pass, And

970
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 14: so do you do some of that stuff where he

971
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 14: makes the better read, he makes the better decision, and

972
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 14: it does improve the running game? You know that That's

973
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 14: the part to me that's got to get better. I

974
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 14: don't have an answer for it. They don't have an

975
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 14: answer for it, obviously, But you got to run the

976
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 14: ball better than what you're run it.

977
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: I like that you said tried to throw a pass.

978
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, I can't remember. It was complete novel.

979
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 2: I know we tried, Probably wasn't. Probably wasn't.

980
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 3: How important is this stretch for Duke Tobin and these

981
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 3: young players on defense that we're still waiting to see, Like,

982
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 3: are they gonna ever take that next step to become

983
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 3: the best version of themselves? Now they're gonna have to

984
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 3: if they're gonna win. Some of these games need that

985
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 3: defense to be much much better.

986
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, we talked at Golden yesterday and he said, I know,

987
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 14: you know, people don't believe this, but I think we

988
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 14: are getting better. I think some individual guys are getting better.

989
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 14: I mean, honestly, they had really good moments in the

990
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 14: Detroit game where they're getting stops, and then of course

991
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 14: at twenty eight to seventeen when you kind of actually

992
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 14: got your way back in the game, was still ten

993
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 14: minutes to go, Detroit goes right down the field, and

994
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 14: it's just it's not consistent enough. I mean, they had

995
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 14: the three series in Denver where you know, Denver came

996
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 14: out at half and they forced three straight punts, gave

997
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 14: up five hundred yards. I mean that it's hard to

998
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 14: do straight punts and gave give up five hundred yards

999
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 14: and they did. I mean even in Minnesota. I mean

1000
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 14: all those points and a lot of because of turnovers.

1001
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 14: They want to stretch there in the first half where

1002
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 14: it was seven to three and they were getting stopped

1003
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 14: after stop after stop, and then all of a sudden

1004
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 14: the turnover machine hit them. So they've had moments, it's

1005
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 14: just not consistent enough. And you know, I do think

1006
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 14: that you know, you're you're gonna play some offenses that

1007
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 14: are that are still pretty good, but you got the

1008
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 14: Jets mixed in there. You know, maybe you go up

1009
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 14: to Lambeau and have your best defensive performance. You know,

1010
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 14: I think everybody get I mean, there were really good

1011
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 14: moments in that Lions game, because that Lion's offense, we

1012
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 14: know is hardly the best in the NFL. I mean,

1013
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 14: they stopped the running game for the most part, except

1014
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 14: when they couldn't when it was twenty eight to seventeen

1015
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 14: and you needed it, I mean, a three and out

1016
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 14: in the ball back either a few goal were touching

1017
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 14: on your dad to will a one score game with

1018
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 14: probably five minutes still to go and they couldn't get

1019
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 14: to stop.

1020
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 3: How important is the rest of this year for Duke Anzach, Like,

1021
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 3: is there legitimate.

1022
00:56:59,400 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 12: There should be?

1023
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 18: There?

1024
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: Should I know there's should we know there should be?

1025
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 3: That doesn't look Mike Brown didn't fire Marvin for a

1026
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 3: long time, and Marvin didn't win a playoff game, right, Like,

1027
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 3: I have a hard time getting my head around the

1028
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 3: fact that they're going to fire a guy that coached

1029
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 3: a team in the Super Bowl with years still left

1030
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 3: on his contract.

1031
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 14: I I and knowing full and knowing fool well that

1032
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 14: he played maybe all but a game and a half

1033
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 14: ye without job, right, I mean, And that's.

1034
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 5: And Duke is a family friend, Like I I'll believe

1035
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 5: they let go of Duke, move on from Duke, like

1036
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 5: when when I see it. But if this goes bad

1037
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 5: and they get a top five pick in the draft,

1038
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 5: there's got to be some world where that's a possibility.

1039
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 14: I would agree.

1040
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 12: And and.

1041
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 14: You know, listen, the NFL is built on paying a

1042
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 14: couple of stars on your team and then filling in

1043
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 14: with guys on rookie contracts. That's that's just that's what

1044
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,479
Speaker 14: it's supposed to be built on. Well, guys on rookie

1045
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 14: contracts aren't playing very well. Is that coaching fault? Is

1046
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 14: that the coaching at fault? Or is that the the

1047
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 14: the personnel department and those scouting these players and making

1048
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 14: bad selections, Is that their fault? I mean, I'm sure

1049
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 14: they each punt the finger of blame at the other

1050
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 14: behind closed tours or maybe just even in private. But

1051
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 14: at some point, yet dude has to take some flak

1052
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 14: for this. There's no doubt he's had good runs of

1053
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 14: drafting teams before, but he's not on a heater right now,

1054
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 14: and they still do things a lot of the old

1055
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 14: fashioned way, and they don't have as many eyeballs as

1056
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 14: other teams. I know, he continues to say, I don't

1057
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 14: need more Rye balls. Yeah you probably, yeah you do.

1058
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 14: Stop stop thinking you're the smartest guy in the room,

1059
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 14: and a lot of moves being made show that you're

1060
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 14: maybe not the smartest guy in the room.

1061
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 12: And let me tell you this.

1062
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 14: I don't know if you heard the answer to the

1063
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 14: question yesterday. Zach said all the right things about Joe Flacco,

1064
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 14: and I think he meant some of them. But if

1065
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 14: you if you recall, he was asked, when you know,

1066
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 14: when did you fight out about the trade, and he said,

1067
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 14: when Duke told me. And they said, now Duke ask

1068
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 14: my opinion of him. And I will say this, Sach

1069
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 14: never just said what Duke the oginnion of him was.

1070
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 12: Did he ask my.

1071
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 14: Opinion of him. It almost feels like this was Duke

1072
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 14: making the move and so at the end of the year,

1073
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 14: this doesn't work out with Joe Flack leader you go.

1074
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 14: I mean, I he was poisted on me by necessity

1075
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 14: and I had to play him because the other guy's

1076
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 14: stunk at that point. But yeah, I don't know if

1077
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 14: he wanted this guy necessarily or not.

1078
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fascinating.

1079
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 3: Looking strictly at this game against Green Bay, the Packers

1080
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: look like a wagon early. What has gone kind of

1081
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 3: sideways for them that they don't look like that team currently?

1082
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 8: I know. Weird.

1083
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 14: I mean they lose the Browns and the defensive struggle

1084
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,959
Speaker 14: thirteen to ten and then have the forty to forty

1085
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 14: tie with the Cowboys. That just seems weird to me.

1086
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 14: It's like you're one or the other, Which one are you?

1087
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 14: I do think they're really good. I mean, you know,

1088
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 14: they were my NFC pick to go to the Super Bowl,

1089
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 14: not that that means anything because my AFC pick was

1090
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 14: Baltimore and that's not working out so well at the moment.

1091
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 12: So I do think they're good.

1092
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 14: I mean, got a good quarterback up and at receivers,

1093
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 14: good defense, and you know another worldly player in MIKEE.

1094
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 4: Parsons.

1095
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 14: It is a really good team. I don't think they

1096
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 14: go up there and win. And that's the other thing too,

1097
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 14: And and you know, back to your defensive question, I

1098
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 14: meant to say this. You know, even if Joe Burrow

1099
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 14: is healthy, I mean, the Bengals could have come out

1100
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 14: of the Green Bay game two and four. I mean

1101
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 14: they really could have, you know, so as a two

1102
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 14: correct I mean, and you know, go back to the

1103
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 14: opener in Cleveland. Joe Burrow was the quarterback and they

1104
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 14: only had one hundred and twenty one yards, So like

1105
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 14: they were sitting on fire there either, because that's what

1106
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 14: There are deeper issues than just quarterback. Quarterback is an issue.

1107
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 14: And obviously, in my opinion, I listen, I'm a big

1108
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 14: Jake Browning fan. I thought, what I'm stunned at just

1109
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 14: how poor that stretch of games have gone. But no

1110
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 14: doubt they had to do something at the position. And

1111
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 14: you know, obviously they did something very desperate.

1112
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 3: Let's let's move to the Bearcats for a minute, Skinny.

1113
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 3: They take down Kansas, they take down Iowa State. They're

1114
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 3: in a an interesting position this week because it's you know,

1115
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 3: for teams that are maybe not used to experiencing a

1116
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 3: lot of success, this is a dangerous one On Saturday.

1117
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: UCF hasn't played great, but they are a team with talent.

1118
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 3: And that's the nightmare, right You're playing a rival that's

1119
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 3: talented and hasn't met expectations and you're kind of riding

1120
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 3: high off of these two wins. This is the classic

1121
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 3: letdown period. I think we learn a lot about Scott

1122
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 3: Sanderfield's team on Saturday.

1123
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, but you know what, I think the way they

1124
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 14: won the last two games means something. I never have

1125
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 14: to pull out one the one at Kansas and in

1126
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 14: this last week when it looked like it was slipping away,

1127
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 14: slipping away, you know, they were killing out against the

1128
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 14: Roe Iolis. They was, and you couldn't run the ball

1129
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 14: much in the second and then you hit the one

1130
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,479
Speaker 14: big play over the top to kind of put it away.

1131
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 14: I think that has carryover effect to me, like you

1132
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 14: found ways to win. You didn't just go out and dominate.

1133
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 14: You had to find ways to win. So I think

1134
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 14: that's a positive to your point. Yeah, I mean, you know,

1135
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 14: the the wins for uc F for two by games,

1136
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 14: and I could call it a third because they beat

1137
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 14: North Carolina and they're they're obviously terrible against anything that

1138
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 14: it's halfway decent. Then you know they lose at Kansas

1139
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 14: State and home to Kansas. You know, Kansas State is

1140
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 14: not having a great year. I think they are a

1141
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 14: pretty good team, but they're just not having a very

1142
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 14: good year. And Kansas is a is a is a

1143
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 14: quality team too. I mean, I don't want to discount that.

1144
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 14: You see win has a great win, I mean on

1145
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 14: the road, and you know their offensive fireworks, So yeah,

1146
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 14: I think that has a carryable effect. But to your point,

1147
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, letdowns happen. We don't know why

1148
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 14: they happen, but they do happen, and situations right, But

1149
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 14: I think for this team, man, I think it's more

1150
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 14: of the confidences there. And like again, the ras of

1151
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 14: the game was wonky. Maybe part of that was in Nebraska,

1152
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 14: right or it look like Goshould never be able to

1153
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 14: throw the ball and all they're gonna have to do

1154
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 14: is he's gonna have to pull it down and run.

1155
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 14: And now suddenly you're cranking up the run game and

1156
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 14: so now teams go, well, don't have to sell it,

1157
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 14: stop the run fine, we're gonna hitch over the top. Well,

1158
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 14: they're gonna hit over the top. Let's go lighter in

1159
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 14: the box and play too high safety. We're gonna run

1160
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 14: the ball at I mean, they're a really good spot offensively.

1161
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 14: They have some flaws defense dad, in my opinion, but

1162
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 14: right now they are clicking on offense.

1163
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 3: They the thing about the offense is what you're always

1164
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: looking for, Right, you got a good offensive line that

1165
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 3: can run and pass block, you got a good quarterback,

1166
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 3: and you got a bunch of viable weapons, and that

1167
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 3: you're hard to deal with that way.

1168
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 14: In the first game. Yeah, they didn't look that way

1169
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 14: in the opener, but they sure do. Now. You know

1170
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 14: what is do because it sounds I don't I'm probably

1171
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 14: wrong in saying this because I did PA for the

1172
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 14: for the Northwestern State game, and you know it was

1173
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 14: a joke, right, I mean, and I'm thinking, did this

1174
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 14: get your confidence up? And they just give you false hope? Well,

1175
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 14: maybe it did give them confidence, yeah, because they were

1176
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 14: hitting bombs left and right. What do you go fifteen

1177
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 14: for fifteen and you know the time that he played

1178
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 14: in that game and five touchdowns and you think, well,

1179
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 14: it was against literally playing nobody was that he was

1180
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 14: a big confidence boost they needed.

1181
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 5: Was that the worst college football team you've ever seen, ever, ever, ever,

1182
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 5: ever close?

1183
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 14: A guy called the same two guys making tackles for

1184
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 14: that team, nobody else wanted to tackle. They have two dudes.

1185
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 14: I think they wanted to.

1186
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: Tackle two dudes that wanted to to be there.

1187
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 3: Everybody else is like, get us on the bus and

1188
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: get us back to Louisiana, please, sir.

1189
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 14: Please, I'm watching I was watching them in warm ups

1190
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 14: and they had a very regimented, like very organized warm

1191
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 14: up session and they had a whistle that guy kept

1192
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 14: blown during the warm up, and I'm like, okay, you

1193
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 14: guys trying to build himselves a program and they're not

1194
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 14: very good. They did get it, you know. They finally

1195
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 14: they didn't win a game last year. They got to

1196
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 14: win earlier this year. I'm like, they're gonna get their

1197
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 14: teeth kicked in here. But okay, this looks like this

1198
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 14: team's going to try to try to do something. It's

1199
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,479
Speaker 14: still going to be ugly. I mean, Chad, it's seventy

1200
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 14: to nothing. Was not playing ten minutes of game clop

1201
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 14: because they could it short.

1202
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 3: It was seventeen enough. It could have easily been. They

1203
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 3: could have easily hit one hundred. Easily, they could hit

1204
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 3: a hundred, no, no doubt. What does it say to

1205
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 3: you the buy in even though things weren't successful in

1206
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 3: the first two years, Scott Siderfield got dudes to stay.

1207
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Jake Golda is going to be an early

1208
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 3: draft pick. Brendan Sorosby could with the way this quarterback

1209
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 3: year is going, could very much play his way into

1210
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 3: an early draft pick. Joe Royer is going to be

1211
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 3: drafted in a good spot. Dante like, these aren't guys

1212
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 3: that are hoping to sneak into the sixth and seventh round.

1213
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 3: What does that say that things didn't go great these

1214
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 3: first two years, but the culture was there and the

1215
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 3: buy in was there because they got all.

1216
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: These guys to come back.

1217
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 3: And I can tell you this for a one hundred

1218
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 3: percent fact, they had a chance to go elsewhere and

1219
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 3: make a lot more money than what they got here.

1220
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I guess credit to him, and I'll

1221
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 14: say this because I'm sure he understood he was under

1222
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 14: the gun going in issue. Yeah, and sometimes you want

1223
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 14: to change everything and maybe he did. Maybe you're way

1224
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 14: closer to it. Than I have, and maybe he did well.

1225
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 14: Maybe he just said, I'm going to continue to trust

1226
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 14: my process because I believe in it, and whatever that

1227
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 14: process is, it's it's suddenly clicking.

1228
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't think a whole lot changed.

1229
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 3: I really don't, So again, trust your process. Sometimes I

1230
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 3: think the players got better. That usually is the main culprit. Right,

1231
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 3: the players got better, things get a little easier.

1232
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 14: Uh, there's no question about that part of me.

1233
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 12: No offense.

1234
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 14: If I got nick team out of retirement and gave

1235
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 14: him Northwestern States players, I do think they would at

1236
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 14: least tackle because he demanded.

1237
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 2: I think they'd be a little better.

1238
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't think they would have looked like the worst

1239
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 3: college football team I've ever seen. I don't think that

1240
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 3: team could have won the GCL South.

1241
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 14: No, I'll give you the GCL South All Stars. Let's

1242
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 14: make it an all star team.

1243
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 2: I'll take you, Okay, Like, do you really think they

1244
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 2: could beat Mohler quarterback?

1245
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 14: They could be Moler.

1246
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 12: Give me the team of all stars and the GC

1247
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 12: so I may take you up on it.

1248
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 3: Moler has more high level D one athletes than Northwestern State.

1249
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 14: You ever, don't forget Elder.

1250
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 2: I know, maybe Elder could beat him too. I don't know,

1251
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 2: I do.

1252
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Maybe you combine Moler and Elder and I'm taking that

1253
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 3: team for Shohler. Uh, there you go real quick? Anything, Reds.

1254
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 3: Are we really looking based on some of the things

1255
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 3: I've seen said that we're gonna run this back next year?

1256
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna run a back right there.

1257
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 14: But but but but I still think they're gonna have

1258
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 14: enough money to go find a bat somehow someway, and

1259
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 14: don't forget Nick Martinez. A twenty one mill comes off

1260
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 14: the books.

1261
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a bat? Like the bat? Or do we

1262
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 2: get a player with it? Are you gonna go get

1263
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: a really good bat.

1264
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 14: Because they already they already got a guy that plays

1265
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:19,919
Speaker 14: batter's box?

1266
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 2: Is right right? Then this coming year, they're just gonna

1267
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 2: get the bat.

1268
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 4: It beats nothing.

1269
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 14: I can't I can't imagine they don't add a bat.

1270
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 14: I just can't imagine. You think that again, you need

1271
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 14: some of the guys to take a step forward. That

1272
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 14: that's kind of baked into Blake, Like, I need more

1273
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 14: from Ellie. Even though Ellie does a lot, he let

1274
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 14: the team in almost every offensive category. Know the man, time,

1275
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 14: you know, I need a more consistent to well a Marte.

1276
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 14: I need those kinds of things. I need Brian hats

1277
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 14: to get at least more than two hits a month.

1278
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 14: But I can't bank on that being the only thing.

1279
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 14: Yeau that that part of that with another guy adds

1280
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 14: another handful of wins.

1281
01:07:59,040 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

1282
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 3: Ellie Elia Cruz center fielder. I have been the biggest

1283
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 3: Ellie's a shortstop proponent on the planet, but it's not

1284
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 3: getting better, like the errors, the mistakes.

1285
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, dude, I think he'd be.

1286
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 14: So good out there. I mean where he ranges sometimes

1287
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 14: to catch pop up. Sometimes it's even dangerous because he's

1288
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 14: about to clyde with an Outfielders come in two steps

1289
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 14: from where he originally Camping's how far sometimes he goes out.

1290
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 14: I think he'd be so so good out there.

1291
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 5: The pitching's good enough to win, even though we didn't

1292
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:33,839
Speaker 5: really see it in the playoffs.

1293
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 14: But the pitching is going to ask for a lot

1294
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 14: and listen, you don't have to go out and get

1295
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 14: a lot of bullpen arms. In my opinion, you got

1296
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 14: a lot of good arms in the system.

1297
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 8: You know.

1298
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 14: I'm not even sure Chase burn starts. I mean, I'm

1299
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 14: not sure his will isn't better in the bullpen. If

1300
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 14: that's the case, then that means your rotation is pretty

1301
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 14: damn good. And he just added another good arm to

1302
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 14: the bullpen. That hard.

1303
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1304
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 14: Red Louder's back and maybe Williamson's back in the mix.

1305
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 14: You know you gotta walk back.

1306
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not far.

1307
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,560
Speaker 3: They just just go get a back, go get a

1308
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 3: bat and a player that swings it, a player that

1309
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 3: hand is their hands are attached to it. I'd love

1310
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 3: for it to have been sure where there's noe like.

1311
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,839
Speaker 3: People got to let that go. That guy played himself

1312
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 3: out of the Reds this year.

1313
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,759
Speaker 14: Give me Kyle Tucker. I'll take Kyle Tucker.

1314
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 2: Okay, Kyle Tucker, the guy that covered Kentucky.

1315
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 4: It's not that different.

1316
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker.

1317
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 3: All right, Skinny, Kyle Tucker. Okay, gotcha, gotcha? All right, man,

1318
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Where can they find you?

1319
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 14: At Local twelve Skinny on the ex verst and at

1320
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 14: Local twelve dot com slash sports. I'm actually working on

1321
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 14: a high school story today.

1322
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 2: Oh is it about Lloyd?

1323
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 14: No, it's about No. They're having a great year. I've

1324
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 14: actually picked them as our game of one of our

1325
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 14: games of the week couple of times this year.

1326
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 2: I was there Friday. I watched that.

1327
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 3: I watched that barn Burner at Lloyd Friday against Bourbon County.

1328
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, Bourbon County came in that game undefeated.

1329
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 4: I know it was.

1330
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 2: It was down to the wire, Yes it was.

1331
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 14: I had a friend of mine that was there too.

1332
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 14: It was, no, we're going to on Saint Henry.

1333
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 13: There you go.

1334
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 14: First year football got off to an own four start,

1335
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 14: and they've won their first two district games, already qualified

1336
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:08,879
Speaker 14: for the playoffs. I think that's pretty impressive.

1337
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 3: It is impressive, and I've always wondered what it would

1338
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 3: look like if Saint Henry had football, and now we

1339
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 3: get to find out.

1340
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 14: I'll leave you with this, and I know we've go along.

1341
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 14: The coach Tim odom is a play at Moler. Back

1342
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 14: in the early age, he played Ohio State, and Tim

1343
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 14: said that he literally is. He could remember his little

1344
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 14: brother asked him, if you could ever have a head

1345
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 14: coaching dream job, what would it be? He said, thirty

1346
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 14: five years ago, I said, if Saint Henry ever starts football,

1347
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 14: I want that job. Well, sure enough, they started later.

1348
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 14: He's the man.

1349
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

1385
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 3: We're we're playing nice today. Okay, We're we're coloring within

1386
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 3: the lines because we don't want to get Drew in trouble.

1387
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 2: So do this for Drew, please please, Let's get to

1388
01:12:59,120 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 2: the talkbacks.

1389
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 13: Hey, it's Jim and Miford. I wanted to give a

1390
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 13: little bit of my listening background. I would say probably

1391
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 13: for fifteen years I listened to Bill Cunningham. But when

1392
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 13: the Bengals became really, really good about three four years ago,

1393
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,879
Speaker 13: I started listening to this show because of the Bengal coverage,

1394
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 13: and I fell in love with Tony and his personality

1395
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 13: and Audie. Yesterday's news actually burned my chest all day

1396
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 13: long ahead anxiety. So I'm really gonna miss.

1397
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 3: Him, same same I was mad all day yesterday, as

1398
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 3: mad as a hornet for a while yesterday.

1399
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 8: Ye hey, guys, super bummed about the news about Tony.

1400
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 13: But I have a question for chode.

1401
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 8: If the Bearcats the NA Tournament this year, what's gonna

1402
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 8: happen with west Miller.

1403
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 2: I love it when Xavier fans think they're funny, like

1404
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,799
Speaker 2: all the first time I've been called code. It very original.

1405
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1406
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 3: He's still gonna have a hefty buy out. I don't

1407
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 3: think you see has a lot of money. I'll say

1408
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 3: it's probably in a similar situation that I've talked about

1409
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 3: with Scott Ciderfield. I think things would have to be

1410
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 3: really bad, and I don't think they're gonna be really bad.

1411
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 8: So I.

1412
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 3: I don't see a world where Wes isn't here next

1413
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 3: year unless things get major Le's house.

1414
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 7: What's up fellas Joe in Baltimore.

1415
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 14: I'll be quick about this.

1416
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 4: I just would tell Tony Austen Man.

1417
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 8: I love you all show.

1418
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 4: I really hope to hear it again. That was the

1419
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 4: best part of my work day.

1420
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 8: I'd sit here at the time.

1421
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 12: We just go by listening to you too, and.

1422
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 14: I will some way or another we get the show back,

1423
01:14:58,880 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 14: Who Day.

1424
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 2: Who Dad? Chad always get to hear you.

1425
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 7: Been very pleasantly surprised with how good you sees played

1426
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 7: this year.

1427
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 2: Phenomenal. I tell you it's sad about Tony.

1428
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 7: I think that this show, with the talkbacks, it was

1429
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 7: very organic, very different in the sports world.

1430
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 2: Unique and good luck to Tony, well said loud talk

1431
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 2: about guy.

1432
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, indeed, And that was kind of what I talked

1433
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 5: about at the top of the show, was how unique

1434
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 5: this it's a community, this community is and I think

1435
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 5: that's just a really really cool part.

1436
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 3: Just it's not something that happens a lot in radio,

1437
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 3: right and to see it it built the way here

1438
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:47,839
Speaker 3: it was organically was awesome.

1439
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 19: Hey, Tony, I hope this message finds you. I really

1440
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 19: hope you come up with a podcast, something along the

1441
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 19: lines of like a Dan Patrick where you do three

1442
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 19: hours between twelve and three. I used to look forward

1443
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 19: to this every day to get my Reds and Bengals

1444
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 19: and Cincinnati talkin. I live in Florida, and I looked

1445
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 19: forward to it because your delivery, your mannerisms, your personality

1446
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 19: to talk about different things other than sports was great.

1447
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 2: And I missed that.

1448
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 4: Yep, Hey, ched Marcus from the Grove.

1449
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 20: I asked Tony this question on Sunday.

1450
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 4: Now I want to ask you.

1451
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 21: Obviously it's not basketball related, because I saw your tweet

1452
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 21: about the rivalry rankings that came out and that was

1453
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 21: just utter, just a failure on that list that not

1454
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 21: have uc xavior. But in football, who do you think

1455
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 21: is UC's biggest rival?

1456
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 3: It's right now it's uc I, and I think as

1457
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 3: organically as they get into the Big twelve, I could

1458
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 3: see it being West Virginia. More as if West Virginia

1459
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 3: gets things back on track and Cincinnati gets it rolling,

1460
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 3: like that is an old rivalry that got shelled. The

1461
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 3: two schools are close, like, I could see it very

1462
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 3: much being UCF. If both teams continue their upward trajectory,

1463
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 3: I could see it being like an Iowa State long term.

1464
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 3: I think that one's got a chance to get a

1465
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 3: little spicy. Iowa State recruits Cincinnati a lot. I think

1466
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 3: the two teams want to play a similar style football,

1467
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 3: so I could see that, But I think right now

1468
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:38,839
Speaker 3: it is UCF.

1469
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: It's been ten years.

1470
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 3: Every year that these two have played, they have both

1471
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 3: been really good in that time span. They have both

1472
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 3: had their downturns in that time span, but there's been

1473
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 3: a lot of really good games over the past ten years.

1474
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 22: Chad and Drew Bloomer drew from South Bend. The Flacco trade,

1475
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 22: I feel that that was just kind of a push.

1476
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 22: We got a sixth round, we give up a fifth round. Yeah,

1477
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 22: got a quarterback with an arm and so savvy. I

1478
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 22: think that's good. We were shooting for a middle of

1479
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 22: the road defense. Well with this thing, these things occurring

1480
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 22: with Burrow, he needed this defense to be great.

1481
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 2: And nothing but love for Tony Pike. Good luck to

1482
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 2: your brother, appreciate it.

1483
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 23: I think one huge rationale for flack o'hill Mary is

1484
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 23: Green Bay. He started against three or four weeks ago,

1485
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 23: and then in Pittsburgh. He knows them better than anybody else. Sure,

1486
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 23: he's played so many games against them. Just manage the

1487
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 23: game against the Jets and the Bears get back to

1488
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 23: Pittsburgh in New England, and then let's see what happens

1489
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 23: after that stretching games.

1490
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 3: I don't disagree there. I think there's like I said,

1491
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 3: I think Flacco was surprising when you heard it, but

1492
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 3: the more you looked at it, the more it's like, Okay, like,

1493
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 3: I get it. I can see where some of the

1494
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 3: some of the rationale is now terrible offensive line, quarterback

1495
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 3: that can't move. That's that, that's one plus one equals three.

1496
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 3: But there are other parts of it that makes sense.

1497
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 20: First time, long time SD one five. It's been a pleasure,

1498
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 20: not super upset because I understand one door closed, so

1499
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 20: anothering can open. You definitely land on your feet. How

1500
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 20: good day was.

1501
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 2: Look, Tony's gonna be fine to be dead everybody. He's

1502
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 2: still with us.

1503
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 3: He's and he's and he's really freaking good at this,

1504
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 3: like annoyingly good at this.

1505
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: At times, He'll be fine.

1506
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 24: Hey, guys, Jeff and your Richmond Jeff, love you guys

1507
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:48,839
Speaker 24: for carrying the torch. I know it's very difficult. Love Tony,

1508
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 24: love everything he stood, for everything he did. Excited that

1509
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 24: he'll be doing the bear Cats broadcast moving forward. Hey,

1510
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 24: I had a quick question about the Do you feel

1511
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 24: like Zach Taylor feels that he's off the hot seat

1512
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:09,719
Speaker 24: now that they signed black Ill. He seemed really comfortable yesterday.

1513
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can feel comfortable that that

1514
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 3: things are fine, like they've got it. They were embarrassed

1515
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 3: for two and a half quarters, two games and three

1516
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 3: quarters with Brownie embarrassed, like just dreadful football if.

1517
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 2: You get that.

1518
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 3: Even with Joe Flacco, Zach's still on the hot seat, Like,

1519
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 3: I don't think that changes.

1520
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 6: Agreed, Towny snackhead, Chad Drew. This is Garth Brooks. Garth Tony,

1521
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 6: you're not only a Hall of Famer on the field

1522
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 6: behind the mic, but you're Hall of fame human being

1523
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 6: as well.

1524
01:20:56,160 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 2: I wish you the best, because.

1525
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 3: There any better nickname than Garth Brooks, like outstanding, Southstanding.

1526
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 2: Hey guys, it's Brandon from Indy. Hopefully you guys are

1527
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 2: doing well.

1528
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 10: As far as I will say, as far as Tony's concerned,

1529
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 10: I understand things happen.

1530
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 2: I just don't agree with it.

1531
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 10: It's not fair that you have a job one day

1532
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 10: and you wake up the next morning and it's gone.

1533
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 10: So I really hope Tony will find something else, and

1534
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 10: I'm sure he will. We're definitely gonna miss him. I

1535
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 10: wonder who's going to do the Bearcat games because he

1538
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 10: think they're good enough, so we'll see. I don't think

1539
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:37,679

Speaker 2: It's gangst the bat which had in the house.

1547
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 25: You see football coach Sat turned the temperature down by

01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 25: for you Bengals. I think they're gonna beat Green Bay.

1554
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 2: Confidence. They got that good good out in Arizona, right,

1555
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 2: that good good.

1556
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,799
Speaker 11: What I'm most interested to see in the Joe Flacco

1557
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 11: situation is how well the line blocks for him. Everybody

1558
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 11: keeps saying, oh, you can't throw it from your back, man,

1559
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 11: this line's terrible. Well, let's just see how Joe puts

1560
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 11: everybody in place to make the blocks if they need

1561
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 11: to block.

1562
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 2: Because this dude's seen every defense from.

1563
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 11: Here to Los Angeles, So it doesn't matter. He's gonna

1564
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 11: know where to put these guys in place, and all

1565
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 11: of a sudden, everybody's gonna say, oh my gosh, they're

1566
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 11: blocking so much better for Flacco than anybody else.

1567
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 7: Why.

1568
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I get where you're going. I don't think

1569
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 3: that it's right, but we'll see. We'll see.

1570
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 2: Up guys, Big Kahouni Kentucky.

1571
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 26: I mean, Skinny says this is probably the best duo

1572
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 26: or offensive weaponry that Flacco's had.

1573
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 14: I mean, shouldn't it be.

1574
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 26: I mean, it's the highest page duo receivers. I mean,

1575
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 26: it's supposed to be the next Chris Carter, Randy Mark, Clayton,

1576
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 26: Mark Dooper. I mean, these guys are supposed to be.

1577
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 26: To cast me out, they better be. I mean, by

1578
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 26: far the under achieving today we're getting all that money.

1579
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 26: I mean, you know, but I mean, heck, they better be.

1580
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:35,839
Speaker 2: They can't throw it to themselves.

1581
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'd like to at some point over the

1582
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 3: past three games have had the opportunity to throw it

1583
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 3: to themselves. Go watch there was a guy that used

1584
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 3: to work here that does some videos on Twitter, and

1585
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 3: go watch those and you'll see it wasn't their fault

1586
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 3: that they weren't getting the ball.

1587
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 2: It was that Jake Browning was awful. So we'll see.

1588
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 2: I hope it gets better with Lacco. I genuinely do.

1589
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 13: I think you're doing a great job.

1590
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 6: Chad, thank you.

1591
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,679
Speaker 13: Heart goes out to Tony. Sucked that the Reds couldn't

1592
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 13: pull it off.

1593
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,919
Speaker 12: My son and me are really looking forward to UCF.

1594
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 13: Balls are in the air.

1595
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 2: Should be a fun one seventy three degrees in sunny Saturday. Drew, Oh,

1596
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 2: can't wait, that's that's what you're looking for.

1597
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 6: Head feels your old pal Hermer.

1598
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh, justin Herbert, Mommy, you stay strong now.

1599
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 7: I remember years ago, because I'm really old, when Paul

1600
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 7: Brown and Mike Brown try to get Bob Trumpet removed five,

1601
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 7: I mean, removed from.

1602
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 19: Their quite some time.

1603
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 14: What goes around comes room.

1604
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,560
Speaker 4: Something's rotten and Denmark talkbackers.

1605
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 2: I give that Herbert impression about a six point eight

1606
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 2: out of ten. It's solid, it's solid.

1607
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 19: Yeah, man, I feel like a child that heard his

1608
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 19: parents are getting divorced yesterday.

1609
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 4: Our heart and I hate that.

1610
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,719
Speaker 2: But you know, Mo made a good point.

1611
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:20,600
Speaker 19: He said, these radio stations, these corporations, depend on the

1612
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 19: loyalty of the listener, and.

1613
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,719
Speaker 5: Then they go around and they stab on the things

1614
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 5: that make.

1615
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 12: That listener loyal in the first place. It's a paradox

1616
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 12: and I don't know, Man, it messed up.

1617
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 2: It's yes, yes, yes, hey.

Speaker 3: There's guys that can play football. They have not performed

1689
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 3: well yet in year one under Scott Frost, but you

1690
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 3: know they're gonna be hyped up for a Cincinnati team,

1691
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 3: for a rival that is looking to play itself upward

1692
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,799
Speaker 3: in the Big twelve hierarchy. They are coming to Nippert Stadium.

1693
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 3: It is a noon game. The weather should be perfect,

1694
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 3: although if it feels like today did at noon, they're

1695
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 3: gonna be cold. Drewe Yeah, they're gonna be cold. It

1696
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 3: was like fifty eight degrees as I was rolling into

1697
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 3: the palatial ESPN fifteen thirty studios. This is a big

1698
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 3: test for Scott Siderfield and his team this week and

1699
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 3: next week because Cincinnati should win these two games. There's

1700
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 3: not a lot of I don't think UCF is a layup.

1701
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State better be a lay up. But this is

1702
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 3: one of those games that can be tricky because they

1703
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,719
Speaker 3: have enough, as you saw last week when they played

1704
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 3: Kansas they've got enough ability to hang around. And if

1705
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 3: a team hangs around, you know, maybe there's a turnover,

1706
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 3: or maybe the officials throw flags on seven consecutive plays,

1707
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 3: maybe they take away an interception in the end zone

1708
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 3: that gives the opponent eight points. Things happen, and things

1709
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 3: happen in close games. If Cincinnati is not able to

1710
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 3: take advantage of the deficiencies that UCF has, if they

1711
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 3: allow UCF to hang around, and this thing goes into

1712
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, It's just one of those games that

1713
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 3: I've been doing this long enough.

1714
01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 18: Drew.

1715
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 3: It makes you worry about because it screams win, right,

1716
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:07,759
Speaker 3: it screams momentum, but it can also derail what momentum

1717
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:09,759
Speaker 3: you built in those last two games real quick.

1718
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

1719
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 5: And I do think the one thing that the Bearcats

1720
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 5: have going for them this week is that they don't

1721
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 5: have a large, big twelve game the following week. Yeah,

1722
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 5: like you play Oklahoma State, who's not any good. They

1723
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 5: fired their coach, Like if you were playing, like if

1724
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 5: you had Texas Tech next week, this is the spot

1725
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 5: where you could get caught looking ahead.

1726
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: But I think all their focus is on this game.

1727
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,879
Speaker 2: It's at home, which is a big advantage.

1728
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 5: If this game was on the road, I would feel

1729
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 5: even more like, boy, this is a tricky, tricky, tricky spot.

1730
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 2: The line is ten and a half.

1731
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 5: So that's a new spot for UC Yeah, in the

1732
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 5: Big Twelve being that big of a favorite. Now, you know,

1733
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 5: I don't know the history. Maybe they have been that

1734
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 5: big of a favorite in a Big twelve game, None

1735
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 5: that I can remember, so I so that's a bit

1736
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 5: of a new spot. But I if they play the

1737
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,600
Speaker 5: way that they've been playing. I thought the defense, you know,

1738
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 5: despite looking spotty at times, really stepped up last week

1739
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 5: and that second half got I think it was five

1740
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 5: consecutive stops in the second half there.

1741
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the.

1742
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,639
Speaker 2: Cyclones had eleven drives.

1743
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 3: They scored on four of them, so Cincinnati got stops

1744
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 3: on seven of the eleven drives. Some of that was

1745
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 3: because Iowa State did not trust their kicker. They were

1746
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 3: on their third string kicker, so they gave him one shot.

1747
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 3: He missed a pretty easy field goal, pushed it wide right,

1748
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 3: and they never went back to him. So that played

1749
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:37,600
Speaker 3: in their favor. But look, that's what you gotta do.

1750
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 3: The game gives you advantages and disadvantages. You got to

1751
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 3: take them when they arise. I thought, the biggest thing

1752
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,560
Speaker 3: for Cincinnati's defense, you know, Dante corleon is going to

1753
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 3: be great. You know Jake Golda is going to be great.

1754
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 3: Like those two things are written in stone, they've needed

1755
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 3: guys to step up around them. And I thought Jalen

1756
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 3: Hunt on the defensive line and Christian Harrison at safety

1757
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 3: really stepped up and gave Cincinnati the opportunity to win

1758
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 3: that game. It doesn't necessarily have to be those two.

1759
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 3: It says, it doesn't have to necessarily be those two,

1760
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 3: but somebody on that defense, one or two guys have

1761
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 3: to step up and compliment gold and Corleone.

1762
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 2: They got it last week. It got them the win.

1763
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 3: They're gonna need it again this week. We'll get to

1764
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 3: it a little bit more in our three. Let's take

1765
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 3: a break. Wes Miller coming up next, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

Speaker 3: Welcome back our number three here on Sincy three sixty.

1776
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 3: Drew and I had Penn Station today for lunch.

1777
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 2: It was excellent. But Drew those cookies man, the bomb

1778
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 2: so good.

1779
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,679
Speaker 3: I know everybody's in kind of a bad mood today

1780
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:36,040
Speaker 3: because of everything that happened yesterday. So when I was

1781
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:38,880
Speaker 3: gonna come in for the show, started planning the show,

1782
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,560
Speaker 3: I said, I need a centerpiece. I need something to

1783
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:43,759
Speaker 3: bring the people together. I need to rally the troops.

1784
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 3: And I figured I would do that by bringing in

1785
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 3: the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball program,

1786
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 3: Wes Miller. Wes, how's it going. How's the off season?

1787
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,640
Speaker 3: And we're almost there? Can you can you sense that

1788
01:34:58,760 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 3: the season is right around the court.

1789
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 4: We finally had some chill in the air today and

1790
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 4: that's usually a sign we're close to basketball season. But no,

1791
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:12,080
Speaker 4: it's it's good that it's getting here. Chad, thanks for

1792
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 4: having me on. You know, we go play in an

1793
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 4: exhibition game next Friday. I think that makes it feel

1794
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 4: a little closer than anything, but we do still have

1795
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 4: quite a bit of time before we take the court

1796
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 4: and a lot of practice time left. So yes, it's

1797
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 4: almost here in some ways, but in other ways we

1798
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 4: got quite a bit of work to do.

1799
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 3: There's always a point in the preseason and the lead

1800
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 3: up to the season where coaches feel like my team's

1801
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,680
Speaker 3: not ready. Not that I hate my team, but we're

1802
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 3: not there yet. Have you gone from excitement to anxiety yet?

1803
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 4: I think after fifteen years you can put it in

1804
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 4: perspective a little bit that there's going to be aspects

1805
01:35:53,479 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 4: of practice every day to give you excitement that where

1806
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:00,560
Speaker 4: you can see it coming together, and there's going to

1807
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 4: be aspects of practice that, you know, show you how

1808
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 4: much work you have to do and allow you to

1809
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 4: see the areas you need to concentrate on a little

1810
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 4: more than maybe you thought. And I think that's every day,

1811
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 4: whether it's a good practice, whether it's a practice where

1812
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 4: you didn't quite play as well. I just think it's

1813
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,600
Speaker 4: about learning from it, waking up the next day and

1814
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 4: trying to attack it. And we've just learned how to

1815
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:24,840
Speaker 4: stay pretty level at least as a coaching staff here

1816
01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 4: for a long period of time.

1817
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a it's almost uncharted territory in this

1818
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 3: transfer portal era. You have almost an entirely new roster.

1819
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 3: You do get the benefit of now you can work

1820
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 3: with these guys in June and July, you get them

1821
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 3: when school starts for a period leading up to the

1822
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 3: official start of practice. Where do you feel like your

1823
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 3: team is that and how much does it help that

1824
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 3: you do have a bunch of veteran guys, even though

1825
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 3: you know they played somewhere else before they got here.

1826
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, loaded question. Let me see if I can answer

1827
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:07,280
Speaker 4: parts of it for you. I think, I think when

1828
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 4: you have so many new faces, which is kind of

1829
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,879
Speaker 4: the new norm, you know, the summer is really valuable

1830
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 4: to learn the team and even the fall in the

1831
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 4: in the early part of practice, you know, you're trying

1832
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 4: to not just learn the players and obviously we've done

1833
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 4: our job to evaluate them and figure out who we're getting,

1834
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 4: but kind of learn how they function within the things

1835
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 4: that we value, how they work together, the best combinations,

1836
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 4: and so you're you're, of course you're installing things, installing

1837
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 4: style of play offensively and defensively, especially the nuts and bolts,

1838
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 4: but you're also trying to leave some room for creativity

1839
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 4: so you can learn where we could be the best.

1840
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:48,559
Speaker 4: And that's probably a lot different than it was five

1841
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 4: six years ago, where you know, you may have two

1842
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:54,439
Speaker 4: new players, but the direction of exactly what you're doing

1843
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 4: is clear before you have your first day of summer workouts,

1844
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 4: right because that team's been together so long. So it's

1845
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 4: a very different process in terms of where we are

1846
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 4: in that process. I think we're in a good place,

1847
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 4: like we've we we got to a place a week

1848
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 4: or two ago where we're now having a ton of

1849
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 4: clarity on the details that we need to be focused

1850
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 4: on within our style of play. You know, we've talked

1851
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 4: a lot about how this team needs to play really fast.

1852
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 4: I think this will be the fastest team I've ever

1853
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 4: coached if we can be fortunate enough to stay healthy.

1854
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 4: I mean, Kirkriesa, it's just it's infectious the pace he

1855
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 4: wants to play with in the back court, and it's

1856
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:39,680
Speaker 4: made guys like dave On Thomas and Sincere Harris and

1857
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 4: Keishan Tillery want to play even faster. It's made guys

1858
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 4: that are running, wings run harder, and then we do

1859
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 4: have a front court that can really run. So this

1860
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 4: will be I think the fastest team I've ever coached

1861
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 4: end to end. So we've been working on that for

1862
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 4: a long time. But the intricacies of that, the things

1863
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 4: that we focus within that, you know, that's become a

1864
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 4: lot more clear here over the last couple of weeks.

1865
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 4: So we're getting to some of the details. And I

1866
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 4: would say that about each aspect of our team offensively

1867
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,560
Speaker 4: and defensively. You know, I've had to tell our staff this,

1868
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 4: We're not ready to play a game yet, but we're

1869
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 4: not supposed to be. You know, it's gosh, it's October ninth.

1870
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 4: I just look down. We don't play till November. We

1871
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 4: got to make sure we're ready to play in November,

1872
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 4: and we will right now. We just got to keep

1873
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 4: doing the right things every day to get ready for November.

1874
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 4: So we have this exhibition game against Michigan next Friday.

1875
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 4: We are nowhere near ready to go play a game

1876
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:41,719
Speaker 4: like that, but that's okay, and that'll be a great

1877
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 4: tool for us to keep growing throughout this preseason. So yes,

1878
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 4: I think we're on track for where I want us

1879
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 4: to be for November. Are we on track to play

1880
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:51,640
Speaker 4: our best basketball next Friday Night?

1881
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 8: Man?

1882
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 18: Our?

1883
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 8: Hell?

1884
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 4: Though, you know, we got a long way to go.

1885
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:57,560
Speaker 4: But that's not The goal of the year is to

1886
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 4: be ready to play in October. It's to be ready

1887
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 4: to play when it counts and to be at our

1888
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:03,920
Speaker 4: best in January, February of March.

1889
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 2: The exhibition thing is new.

1890
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 3: It's been super secret scrimmages up until now, but now

1891
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:14,679
Speaker 3: these exhibition games are open.

1892
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 2: You get to play. You know, your choice of how

1893
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 2: you want to handle this.

1894
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 3: Your choice has been let's go play two teams that

1895
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 3: are expected to be really, really good, including a Michigan

1896
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 3: team that many think is going to be in the

1897
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 3: top five and might have the best player in the

1898
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 3: country in Jacks Lindenborg. What was that philosophy of let's

1899
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 3: go on the road and really really challenge ourselves in

1900
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 3: these two exhibitions.

1901
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just that there's a lot of

1902
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 4: aspects to it, but it's a great tool for the

1903
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 4: development of our team in the preseason. You know, first off,

1904
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 4: we play against each other every day, and there's only

1905
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 4: so much you can learn about yourself playing against each other.

1906
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 4: So when you be a different jersey, it's just a

1907
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 4: great opportunity to learn new things about your team, to

1908
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 4: learn things that maybe you haven't focused on as much

1909
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,720
Speaker 4: that you can go attack. So the earlier we can

1910
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:16,679
Speaker 4: play a game against somebody else, the better it should.

1911
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 4: I've if they ever let me make decisions, Chad, we

1912
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:21,480
Speaker 4: get to play against a different team in the preseason

1913
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,679
Speaker 4: every week, and I'd argue that would make the college

1914
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 4: basketball product better when November comes around. But you know,

1915
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 4: we got a long way to go for they let

1916
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:35,439
Speaker 4: me do that. I will I will say that, you know,

1917
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,799
Speaker 4: with with the games we're playing at Michigan and Arkansas.

1918
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 4: I looked at the Big Twelve experience the last two years.

1919
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 4: You know, it's the best league in America, and there's

1920
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 4: there's gonna be difficult nights, Like there's just no way

1921
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 4: around that. We we got to get more prepared for

1922
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 4: playing in the hardest environments, for having to overcome some adversity.

1923
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 4: We got to prepare our team and our program for that.

1924
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean I schedule them so we can get

1925
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,800
Speaker 4: our bus kicked, but if we do, it's a great

1926
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 4: opportunity for us to learn and grow from that, like

1927
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 4: and to get ready for what the you're going to

1928
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 4: have a night like that in the Big twelve that's

1929
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 4: in everybody does the whole league, right, And if we

1930
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 4: play great, it'll give us some confidence. But either way,

1931
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,640
Speaker 4: it should be a good experience for us and an

1932
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 4: opportunity and a tool that we can use to keep

1933
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 4: building our team. So yes, it was very strategic to

1934
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:31,679
Speaker 4: go play like I think it's homecoming weekend at both

1935
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 4: Michigan and Arkansas. You know, both teams have a lot

1936
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 4: of type going into the year. I think Dusty's talked about,

1937
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 4: you know, their goals national championship from day one, and

1938
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 4: he said that publicly, So like, listen, we're gon we're

1939
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 4: going to go play in very difficult environments in October,

1940
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:48,679
Speaker 4: and whatever happens, I think it's going to be really

1941
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 4: positive for us in January. Like I've said this, you

1942
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 4: know to our team already, Jed, you know, if we

1943
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 4: play terrible and we get our bus kicked, all you

1944
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 4: guys will think we're the worst thing that ever happened

1945
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 4: to basketball, And that'll be great. That'll be great because

1946
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:07,599
Speaker 4: we'll get to learn how to manage that in today's

1947
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 4: world with the phones. You know, the kids got to

1948
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 4: learn how to manage that. If we played great and

1949
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:14,840
Speaker 4: we win, all you guys will lack like we're going

1950
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 4: to go undefeated, and that'll be great because we're gonna

1951
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 4: have to learn how to manage that type of thing.

1952
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 4: Because we're going to have some great success. We got

1953
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,640
Speaker 4: to stay steady, and we're gonna have some homes that

1954
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:26,640
Speaker 4: we don't and we got to stay steady. And I

1955
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 4: think these games give us an opportunity to start working

1956
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 4: at that stuff early.

1957
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:32,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's homecoming in ann Arbor, but

1958
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,000
Speaker 3: I do know they play Washington at noon the next day.

1959
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 3: I was looking at hotels because I'm going to go

1960
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 3: up and cover the game. I was looking at hotels

1961
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 3: and I think there was a red roof end for

1962
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighty seven dollars a night. So I

1963
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:46,599
Speaker 3: think I'm not staying in ann Arbor.

1964
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 4: You know, Ched, I always thought you were a guy

1965
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 4: that would do whatever it takes. So I'm disappointed to

1966
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 4: hear that.

1967
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:53,759
Speaker 2: No, I'm going to stay in Toledo.

1968
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 3: I'm going I'm just not staying in ann Arbor because

1969
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 3: I can't see myself paying three hundred and eighty seven

1970
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 3: dollars for a night at.

1971
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,800
Speaker 4: The Red Roof in So you're just telling me you're intelligent.

1972
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying. I don't know if you

1973
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 3: believe me or not. You've known me for long enough.

1974
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 4: Now, well I believe that for sure. That's just one

1975
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 4: of your many endearing qualities.

1976
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:16,560
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the interior the post. Guys that

1977
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 3: you mentioned earlier, Mustapha Chim Bobbon Miller, Jalen Haynes. Although

1978
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 3: big slime doesn't work anymore, coach, is he medium slime now?

1979
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 4: Like he is?

1980
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 2: He is trimmed out, he is looking good.

1981
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, guys what I told our team a

1982
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 4: while back. The only way he's going to get me

1983
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 4: to call him slim is if he gets twenty rebounds

1984
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 4: in a game. I don't use nicknames unless you earn them,

1985
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 4: and so he's Jalen Haynes to me. But no, he he.

1986
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 4: I thought he really came back from our little August

1987
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:58,240
Speaker 4: two week break, and from the time he got back,

1988
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 4: heep being very very focused about getting physically ready to play,

1989
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 4: which which is important because he's an extremely important player

1990
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 4: for our team. Uh, he's a little undersized for a

1991
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:12,759
Speaker 4: front court player, even though he does have tremendous length,

1992
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:16,640
Speaker 4: and so him being able to maximize his physical abilities

1993
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,720
Speaker 4: night and night out in our league is important. And

1994
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 4: I've been pleased since August with the effort he's put

1995
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 4: into getting in great shape. He's in a lot better

1996
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 4: shape than you he was when he got here back in.

1997
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 2: Jail, mum.

1998
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 3: Incredibly talented, length, athleticism, size, What has surprised you about him?

1999
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 2: Maybe since he got here anything?

2000
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you have to with MoU. You have

2001
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,680
Speaker 4: to remember that he was supposed to be a high

2002
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,800
Speaker 4: school senior last year. Yeah, and you know, we played

2003
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 4: against him and I had such great respect for competing

2004
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 4: against him, and and then you know, he gets here

2005
01:45:56,680 --> 01:46:00,000
Speaker 4: and you're you're going, hey, man, what it's It's surprised

2006
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 4: just me that, like, you don't know everything that Kerkkrisa

2007
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 4: and Jalen Celestine know. And you know, these guys are,

2008
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:09,560
Speaker 4: you know, thirty five years old, right, like seniors And

2009
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 4: I'm being kind of funny, but they're fifty year guys

2010
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 4: and you talked about that earlier at the beginning of

2011
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 4: the interview. Here we do have some older guys Jalen Haynes.

2012
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 4: You know, MoU is not one of those guys, even

2013
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,600
Speaker 4: though he has a year of experience. So sometimes you know,

2014
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 4: you've had to realize, man, he's still really new to

2015
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:31,280
Speaker 4: the game, you know, coming over from Senegal, and you

2016
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 4: know he should have been in high school last year.

2017
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 4: So even though he has some great experience in our league, like,

2018
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:39,800
Speaker 4: there's just things that he hasn't quite figured out or

2019
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 4: doesn't know yet. But what's remarkable is how quickly he's learning,

2020
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:47,560
Speaker 4: Like it's remarkable. I mean, how much better he is

2021
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 4: today than a month ago has been really exciting for

2022
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 4: all of us as a coaching staff. And you know,

2023
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 4: I think the one thing last year, he was playing

2024
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:58,599
Speaker 4: in the dunker a lot. They had such tremendous offensive

2025
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 4: firepower on the perimeter at UCF last year. You know

2026
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:05,600
Speaker 4: Hall and the point guard they had. Those guys were

2027
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:08,760
Speaker 4: great players, Hault and out at Auburn, Keyshawn Hall. But

2028
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 4: he was there and then he kind of float around

2029
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:14,640
Speaker 4: and shoots some threes, which he can really do. But

2030
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:18,840
Speaker 4: we've tried to make him run to seal and hit

2031
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 4: in the post box to be crazy physical. It's not

2032
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 4: been comfortable for him. Throughout the summer, but he's starting

2033
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 4: to figure it out. And I'm telling you he catches

2034
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 4: it inside five or six seed. He's pretty tank good,

2035
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 4: you know, and he's getting better at carving out position

2036
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 4: to do that. He's got great touch, great hands, great feel,

2037
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 4: and then he still has that ability to step out

2038
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 4: and shoot threes. I just hadn't let him do it yet,

2039
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,799
Speaker 4: but we will. But we're trying to establish the interior

2040
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 4: game with him first, and I'm really pleased with his

2041
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 4: development there. Certainly, you guys know this from Chad coming

2042
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,360
Speaker 4: to practice. The way he moves defensively at seven two

2043
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 4: is and he can really run the floor.

2044
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, bobon Miller, you had a chance to go over

2045
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 3: and watch him with the national team in Spain. Were

2046
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 3: we able to learn about him maybe that you didn't

2047
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 3: know by by going over and watching him in a

2048
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:09,679
Speaker 3: different setting.

2049
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 4: It was. It was really healthy, like something that I'll

2050
01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 4: remember as I moved forward as a coach, that seeing

2051
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:22,600
Speaker 4: guys in different settings really helps you understand them. You know.

2052
01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 4: I thought our summer practices were very competitive, and you know,

2053
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 4: he had good moments. Don't get me wrong, but he

2054
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 4: was great for the Spanish national team, and when we

2055
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 4: talked after those games, the one thing he said was

2056
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 4: it was easier. And he was playing against you know,

2057
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 4: a couple of NBA players in those games, you know,

2058
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 4: you know, pros and older guys, and he said he

2059
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 4: thought it was easier than our practices and that gave

2060
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 4: him a lot of confidence. So you know that that

2061
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 4: made me, you know, realize something that sometimes we need

2062
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 4: to make sure they're in some environments where they can

2063
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 4: see the bene fit of practice and maybe in practice

2064
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 4: we can create those environments a little better. It didn't

2065
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:07,679
Speaker 4: all have to be so difficult every single day, even

2066
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 4: though you know, I like it to be difficult. I

2067
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 4: think it's good for our development. But no, he was

2068
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 4: really good off the bounce, he was really good around

2069
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 4: the rim, He rebounded well, and he's starting to now

2070
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,160
Speaker 4: do those things in our practices here. So that's been

2071
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 4: good and that was a positive experience, as you mentioned.

2072
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 3: And Jordie Rodriguez, you got to see why you were

2073
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 3: over there as well. I've heard good things. I've seen

2074
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:32,640
Speaker 3: good things from JORDI. Yes he can shoot, but it

2075
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 3: feels like he's a little bit more than now, like

2076
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,200
Speaker 3: his effort is good. People tend to label those euro

2077
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 3: guys as soft. I haven't gotten that vibe from Jordi.

2078
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 4: No, he's not soft at all, and we knew that

2079
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 4: recruiting him. I got to see him live in Spain again,

2080
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 4: as you mentioned when I went to watch Baba. Physically,

2081
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 4: Mike Rayfield will be the greatest thing that ever happened

2082
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 4: to him our strength coach, because he does need to

2083
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:59,799
Speaker 4: get stronger physically, but he has a level of toughness.

2084
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 4: I remember watching him defend when he was playing with

2085
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 4: the national team and I looked to my girlfriend and

2086
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:08,640
Speaker 4: I said, I needed to see that. And he was

2087
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 4: really chasing a great shooter around action for the Czech

2088
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 4: Republic and he blew up a couple of screens and

2089
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 4: gave great effort, and I went, man, he's going to

2090
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 4: be fine defending for us. And he has I mean,

2091
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 4: he's really bright, he has a great feel for the game.

2092
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 4: He can tell he's played a high level of professional

2093
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 4: basketball already because he's wise beyond his years in some ways,

2094
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,719
Speaker 4: and he does need to get a little physically stronger

2095
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:34,680
Speaker 4: and he knows that as well.

2096
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 3: And then finally, save the best for last Dayda Thomas,

2097
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 3: a guy that maybe you didn't expect was gonna get

2098
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 3: to spend a third year at Cincinnati, but he's here.

2099
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,839
Speaker 3: I've been really impressed with the way he's carrying himself

2100
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 3: this year, the way his teammates are responding to him.

2101
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 3: This looks like a much more confident, calm version of

2102
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 3: Daydae Thomas that we've seen.

2103
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you think you might have asked the

2104
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 4: question in a press conference weeks ago about having all

2105
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 4: these new faces and how difficult it has that hold

2106
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 4: on a second. Now we do have Dayda Thomas, and

2107
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 4: he might be worth more than just one returning player

2108
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 4: because he has had that kind of presence within our

2109
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 4: program this summer in this fall. I think a couple

2110
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:23,960
Speaker 4: of things. One, he's just matured a lot. He's he's

2111
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 4: been in our program, he's been in Cincinnati, so he

2112
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,759
Speaker 4: has a certain level of awareness about what this means,

2113
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 4: what we represent. And then you know he's healthy too, Chad,

2114
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 4: Like you know, he was coming off the foot injury,

2115
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 4: had the big set. He had the big setback in

2116
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 4: October last year and didn't even play early in the year.

2117
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 4: It took him a long time to get back to

2118
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,759
Speaker 4: the Dayda Thomas that we all have known and loved

2119
01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:53,840
Speaker 4: on the court, and I think he looks like that

2120
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 4: again physically, just looks confident, healthy and again way more mature,

2121
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 4: and he's had a presence with the team that's been

2122
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 4: really positive thus far.

2123
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 3: Coach, much appreciated you taking out some time today and

2124
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 3: calming the masses. Everybody's a little angry about Tony. I

2125
01:52:10,439 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 3: know you you like Tony a lot, but I appreciate

2126
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 3: you coming on and uh and giving us some time today.

2127
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 4: Well to Tony is a Bearcat and an all time

2128
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 4: great Bearcat and somebody I've really enjoyed getting to know,

2129
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 4: seeing him at our games and football games, and you know,

2130
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:32,919
Speaker 4: being a part of the show. So I appreciated your introduction,

2131
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 4: but I cannot fill that void. I feel the same

2132
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:37,960
Speaker 4: way everybody else does, and just wish him nothing but

2133
01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 4: the best. But I'm glad I got to come on today,

2134
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 4: and now I'm gonna get away from you guys and

2135
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 4: get back to the stuff that matters, which is getting

2136
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 4: our team ready to play.

2137
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 3: All right, We'll see you eight days in ann Arbor.

2138
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 3: Appreciated coach, Thank you.

2139
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 4: Here you go.

2140
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:55,719
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bearcat's head coach Wes Miller great stuff, great stuff,

2141
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:57,679
Speaker 3: A lot of insight there on a lot of guys.

2142
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 3: Let's take a break. I'll talk about I've been to

2143
01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 3: a couple of practices. I've seen a little bit Drew.

2144
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 3: I've seen some things. Not as much as that guy,

2145
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:08,920
Speaker 3: but I've seen some things. I'll get some thoughts on

2146
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:11,640
Speaker 3: the Bearcats as well when we come back. This is

2147
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 3: since the thirty sixty right here on Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

2148
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 1: Now your chance to win one thousand dollars since he

2149
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 1: three sixty is back on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

2150
01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 3: Oh are you a TikTok guy? No, There's two new

2151
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:47,880
Speaker 3: trends on TikTok that have had me cracking up. One

2152
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:56,680
Speaker 3: is mister Rogers and like famous rappers. It's an AI thing,

2153
01:53:57,360 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 3: and it's mister Rogers sitting with like like Biggie and

2154
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:05,760
Speaker 3: getting them with like a like a D's Nuts joke.

2155
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 3: So I've seen one. I've seen Biggie, I've seen Tupac,

2156
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 3: I've seen Easy And the punchline of all of them

2157
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,960
Speaker 3: is like mister Rogers hitting these famous rappers with like

2158
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:19,880
Speaker 3: a D's Nuts joke.

2159
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 5: Well, if they're on TikTok. Now that probably means I'll

2160
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 5: see him on Instagram in about a month probably.

2161
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 3: And then there's another one where they're taking like hip

2162
01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 3: hop songs and AI ing them into like nineteen fifties

2163
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 3: so music.

2164
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:37,640
Speaker 2: This I have heard about it. Some of those are awesome.

2165
01:54:37,720 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 5: I think it was the one that I saw was

2166
01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:42,520
Speaker 5: many Men, Yeah, fifty, I think that was the one

2167
01:54:42,560 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 5: that I saw.

2168
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 3: It's they're so good. Yeah, I think that started. I

2169
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 3: think that trend started. They were taking like heavy rock

2170
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 3: songs and doing them in yacht rock, yep, and I

2171
01:54:57,320 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 3: think that's what started this AI trend.

2172
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,760
Speaker 2: But some of them were really good, really good.

2173
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 3: They cracked me up, mister Rogers and and and easy

2174
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 3: e was that was a sight to see, Like mister

2175
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 3: Rod they were sitting on a couch and mister Rogers

2176
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 3: had his arm around him, uh, cracking jokes and in

2177
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 3: the comments section outstanding.

2178
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine.

2179
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 5: How about that interview with Wes Miller, good stuff. There

2180
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 5: a lot of a lot to learn. Like West brought

2181
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 5: the heat.

2182
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 2: He did, he came, he came, he knew the assignment today.

2183
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 3: He knew we needed him to step up. We did

2184
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 3: not need coach speak today. We needed some information and

2185
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:34,320
Speaker 3: we got a lot of information from Wes Miller.

2186
01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:36,400
Speaker 2: A lot and I think a lot to be excited

2187
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 2: about for the Bearcats this year, Drew.

2188
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 3: They're gonna be really fascinating because they they don't have

2189
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 3: that Sean Kilpatrick, Jared Cumberland like like alpha scorer, but

2190
01:55:52,320 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 3: they've got a lot of really interesting pieces, Like I

2191
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 3: think their front court has a chance to be outstanding

2192
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 3: between Mustapha Chom, medium slime, Jalen Haynes and Boba Miller,

2193
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:11,160
Speaker 3: who's six' eleven power, forward can handle the, ball can shoot, it.

2194
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 3: Rebounds he's been a little. Inconsistent he played two years

2195
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 3: At Florida, state then he played last year At Florida

2196
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 3: atlantic and had a little bit of a breakout last.

2197
01:56:22,680 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 3: Year but he's always been as seen as a guy

2198
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 3: that's LIKE nba, tools very, toolsy an industry term, There

2199
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 3: drew very, toolsy but he hasn't put it. TOGETHER i

2200
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 3: think he's the most important guy on this team simply because.

2201
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 2: His, ceiling.

2202
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 3: If he gets close to, it Raises cincinnati's ceiling higher

2203
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 3: than anybody ELSE i think on the, roster AND i

2204
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 3: think you've got three pieces that compliment and fit together really,

2205
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:59,440
Speaker 3: well And i'm fascinated to see how they.

2229
01:58:09,080 --> 01:58:14,400
Speaker 2: Guy he's not strong, yet but he sticks his nose in.

2230
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 3: There the last PRACTICE i, saw there was a possession

2231
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 3: where his team had four offensive. Rebounds he was the

2232
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:24,720
Speaker 3: guy that came down with the ball on three of. Them,

2233
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 3: now the ball was being tipped around and battled for,

2234
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 3: whatever but he was the guy sticking his nose in

2235
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 3: there and digging the ball out three out of the four.

2236
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,680
Speaker 3: Times and to, me Like wes talked, about that's a

2237
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:40,600
Speaker 3: guy that's not afraid to do some dirty. Work mix it, up,

2238
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,360
Speaker 3: yep that's a guy that's not afraid to stick his

2239
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,160
Speaker 3: nose in. There AND i worry about that with the

2240
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,720
Speaker 3: the some of The european guys because that's just not

2241
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 3: normally the style.

2242
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:51,960
Speaker 2: Of basketball they.

2243
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 3: Play it's a little bit more, free it's a little

2244
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:57,280
Speaker 3: bit more spread, out.

2245
01:58:57,200 --> 01:58:59,240
Speaker 2: It's a little bit more wide. Open but That.

2246
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 3: Spanish one of the reasons they've been so good is

2247
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 3: they are a little. Gritty they do get a little.

2248
01:59:05,720 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 3: Dirty SO i like, him but a lot of. It,

2249
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:15,240
Speaker 3: man what does kerkkriesa look like after a slow start

2250
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 3: At kentucky last year and then he gets, hurt.

2251
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:20,120
Speaker 2: And then how good Is Daydae?

2252
01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 3: Thomas because If Dayde thomas is a fourteen point a

2253
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 3: game guy that's, efficient that shoots, it he shot it

2254
01:59:29,400 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 3: at forty percent last year from. Three if he's that

2255
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 3: guy again where he shoots it consistently and he ups

2256
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 3: his scoring and, NOTCH i would Love i'm not gonna

2257
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 3: hold my breath, through BUT i would love to see

2258
01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:44,400
Speaker 3: him get to the free throw line a little bit.

2259
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,120
Speaker 3: More maybe is an older, guy he gets a little

2260
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 3: bit more benefit of the doubt because he's taking a

2261
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 3: lot of bumps and not gotten. Calls maybe is he

2262
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:55,360
Speaker 3: gets a little you, know more respect in the, League

2263
01:59:55,400 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 3: he gets some of those. Calls if he just gets

2264
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:01,400
Speaker 3: to the free throw line two more times a game

2265
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 3: and makes a couple of free, throws all of a,

2266
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 3: sudden that eleven twelve points a game is fourteen to

2267
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 3: fifteen points a.

2268
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:08,760
Speaker 4: Game.

2269
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:13,040
Speaker 3: Yep AND i think that having that BECAUSE i don't

2270
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,960
Speaker 3: think they're gonna have a seventeen eighteen point.

2271
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 2: Score i'm not anticipating.

2272
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,560
Speaker 3: That but if you have a couple guys at fourteen,

2273
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 3: fifteen If Dayde thomas And Mustafa chalmer each above fourteen

2274
02:00:27,760 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 3: points a.

2275
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:30,880
Speaker 2: Game it's got a chance to be a, really really

2276
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Good bearcat.

2277
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:31,800
Speaker 4: Team.

02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Agreed i'm very Very they're one of my most intriguing

2279
02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:38,720
Speaker 2: teams to watch this year in college.

2280
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:42,200
Speaker 3: Basketball now here's the other, problem, Though, Drew there's another

2281
02:00:42,280 --> 02:00:42,800
