Speaker 3: Taylor speaking right now at pay Course Stadium.

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 4: Can we start with yesterday there was a report that

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: your contract with the Bengals goes through twenty twenty seven.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: Can you confirm if that's true, and if so, the

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 4: organization decided not to announce it. Do you know why

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: the team decided not to announce it a year after

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: they announced?

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 5: Think everyone matters.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 6: I coach every day like it's my last and I've

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 6: been through years in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty that were

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 6: literally you coach every game thinking it could be your

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 6: last game. And I've seen how we responded after that

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 6: twenty one twenty two, competing for division titles and championships.

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 5: And so this year is no different from me.

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 6: It's going through adversity coaching every game in this profession

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 6: like it could be your last one. I have a

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 6: lot of confidence in our staff that we're going to

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 6: get this turned around and we're going to finish the

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 6: season really strong and put together a great plan to

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 6: get back to those championships I mentioned, So very confident

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 6: we can do all that.

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: Though it is through twenty seven. I'm not going to

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 5: respond to that. I just told you. I coach every

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 5: day like it's my last one.

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 7: You don't get a chance to talk to ownership or

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 7: do we don't get that opportunity? What kind of assurances

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 7: have you been given from We just talk every week?

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 5: Every week you've talked about your contractor every week we

40
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: talk about everything. What was the last time we spoke

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 5: about your contract?

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 6: And that's not really part of our conversation. It's every

43
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 6: week we're trying to create together a great plan to

44
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 6: win football games and make sure our team's ready to go.

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: Make sure I'm ready to go.

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 6: So I know that's of curiosity to you guys, But

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 6: we're just focused on being the.

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 7: Dolphins that's reassessed after the season every year.

49
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Ask them, we don't get that chance.

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 5: Okay, Well I'm sorry, Okay, I'm just being straightforward with that.

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 7: We would ask them, we don't get that, Okay.

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 6: Going through protocol, Yeah, he's still going through proto. Yeah,

53
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 6: he'll be same as last week. He'll go through practice day,

54
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 6: went through the walkthrough, but again protocol, so I'm not

55
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 6: going to make any guess his own where it ends up.

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: Is anyone else out this week?

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 6: Chris Jenkins will be out for sure. There's some other

58
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: guys will work through the next couple of days, some

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 6: of the ones we talked about the other day, but

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 6: don't want to make any prediction when they end up,

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 6: but Chris will be the one that's out for sure.

62
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 6: Marius looks pretty good. So again, once we get on

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 6: the field, we'll assess this guys better. But I felt

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 6: really good about Marius coming out of yesterday.

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 8: Back in the game, at some point, obviously we didn't

66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 8: see Traders a time.

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 5: I mean, what was that like win? I honestly don't

68
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: remember even at what point it happened. As we see now.

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 6: So just he was out at that time, it wasn't

70
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 6: a lot of conversation.

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: We were just trying to go four points.

72
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 9: There's the confidence that ownerships has shown in. You gave

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 9: you the peace of mind when you're evaluating young players

74
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 9: and trying to rebuild the defense.

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 6: Here's what I try to do every day, make the

76
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 6: best decisions so we can win the game. And a

77
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 6: lot of that is trying to strengthen your team and

78
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 6: your roster by giving opportunity guys like that, like we've

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 6: done this season. So I think if you're if you twofold,

80
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: if you're going to say, well, I'm going to do

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 6: things because this could I want to do what's best

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 6: for our team and our program to win immediately, win

83
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 6: long term. And so that's every decision. If if you're

84
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: worried about losing your job and that's how you're going

85
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 6: to make your decisions, you're not going to be very

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: effective what you do.

87
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: And it's been a disappointing year. We're not going to

88
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: run from that.

89
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna run from and the blame falls at

90
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 6: my feet, nobody else's truthfully, I got my hands all

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: over this thing.

92
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: Haven't done a good enough job. I understand that, but

93
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: I also.

94
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 6: Have seen how this staff can respond and these players

95
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 6: can respond because we've been through this before. This is

96
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 6: very similar to the end of twenty twenty that felt

97
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 6: very bleak, and this is scourging and all we did

98
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 6: was turn around to respond with back to back divisional championships,

99
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: which is rare to do in this division, play for

100
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 6: conference championships, play for super Bowls. I feel extreme confidence

101
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: that we know how to do that, we know how

102
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 6: to get back to that, and that's exactly what goin

103
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 6: Are sid are mind.

104
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 9: To do a big thing you guys did in that

105
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 9: offseason after twenty twenty, you go get Trey, you go

106
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 9: get multiple regions like that. Are you confident in ownership

107
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 9: given that Burrows making more that they'll.

108
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: Be able to do.

109
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 6: I'm confident that we're going to make the best decisions

110
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 6: for the organization. It's I got a ton of belief

111
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 6: in our coaching staff, our scouting department, our ownership that

112
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 6: we are very much in alignment with every decision we've

113
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: ever made here.

114
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: And so again, when.

115
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: Things haven't been good enough over the course of this season,

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: there's really no one to blame other than me, truthfully,

117
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 6: and so I know we all play a piece of this,

118
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 6: but I'm the guy that get to sit there and

119
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: talk to the team every single week and present plans

120
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: and make in game decisions. And so frustrating that that

121
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 6: I haven't done any job this year, but a ton

122
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 6: of confidence, and maybe it rings hollow to everyone listening,

123
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 6: but I know that we've been here before and I've

124
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 6: seen how we can get out the other side.

125
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 5: I'm very confident we're gonna get that done.

126
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 9: Criticism, certainly publicly, why do you?

127
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: Because I know you believe in them? Why do you?

128
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 6: Because I've worked oude by side with him for seven

129
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 6: years now and I have a ton of confidence and

130
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 6: how he sees things and the vision he's got and

131
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 6: the vision that we have together.

132
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 5: Our scouting.

133
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 6: Our scouting staff does a great job, and it's it's

134
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: rare that you get a chance to have like a

135
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 6: really personal relationship with them and see them and be

136
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 6: on the same page and communicate.

137
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: The way that we do.

138
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 6: It's not that way everywhere, and so I really like

139
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 6: to set up we have and I think it works

140
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 6: well for us, and we'll work really well for us

141
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 6: going forward, you'd have to ask him he's been He's

142
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 6: been great so far to my eye, we haven't got.

143
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 5: On the field yet. But again, when you guys get

144
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 5: that up and you.

145
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 7: Can ask, you anticipate in practice today.

146
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 10: Joe Burrow, Yes, I do appreciate have a very minor

147
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 10: wib good locker nothing if you're monitoring that closely, especially

148
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 10: now the team out.

149
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 11: Clicking at the roster, it's a very high percentage of

150
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 11: guys who have never played in the playoffs here. Yeah,

151
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 11: how you had to adjust the way you present the

152
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 11: things you teach considering that so many guys just don't

153
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 11: know what that's like.

154
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of it is.

155
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 6: We've we've got a rhythm that we think serves us well.

156
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: We're never afraid to modify anything over the course of

157
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 6: the week. We do that you do in on the

158
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 6: coaching staff. Who's who's been in those games you mentioned,

159
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 6: We got a lot of players in our team that

160
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 6: have been in those games. And then again, we feel

161
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 6: like we've accumulated a lot of guys that have won,

162
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 6: whether it just be at the college level, if they're

163
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: new to our team, and that's that's a big part

164
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 6: of it. So again, that hasn't gotteness where we need

165
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: to be this year, but there're certainly winning attitude in

166
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 6: the locker room, and guys are and what the standard

167
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 6: looks like and do a good job holding each other

168
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 6: through that.

169
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 11: Has this been a year where you've kind of felt

170
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 11: kind of a story of that year has been the

171
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 11: youth and then you trying to step up and do

172
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 11: more and go through that process.

173
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's an element of that, And there's always going

174
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 6: to be years where you find that, you know, where

175
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 6: you're trying to balance the best you have on the

176
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 6: team and trying to really bring along young players so

177
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: that they can presently be good players for you and

178
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 6: continue to develop and you can be in a good

179
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 6: spot in the future. So I feel like if you

180
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 6: look at all six of the rookies we got, we

181
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 6: put them all out there and we've got a chance

182
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: to watch them all play and grow, and I think

183
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 6: it's a really exciting class. And I know that we

184
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 6: hit on all six of them, and I feel really

185
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 6: good about it.

186
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: And so we'll just we'll just keep building.

187
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 8: When the teams out of playoff contention usually goes to

188
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 8: maybe developing younger players and focusing on that instead of

189
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 8: being why is that maybe not a consideration for we've

190
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 8: played all six of our rookies so well in terms

191
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 8: of even just further.

192
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: Down the roster.

193
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 8: To bottom everybody, whether the rookies or not, instead of trying.

194
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: To I think we're actively doing that. I think we've

195
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 6: we've tried to do that all season, and we'll continue

196
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 6: to do it over the next couple of games.

197
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 7: On Monday, one way he would describe DJ Turner is

198
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 7: very driven, climbing all the time, especially this season. Your

199
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 7: thoughts on DJ, and I know you've talked about his

200
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl potential. Yeah, what are your thoughts on why

201
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 7: he's done so well?

202
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 12: Well?

203
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 6: I think again, he's in his third year, so he's

204
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 6: had a chance to learn from two years of experience

205
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: of the ups and downs that you deal with in

206
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: this profession that you do with playing corner, you know,

207
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 6: and going against all the guys he's got to go against.

208
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 6: And so I've often mentioned that the conversation he and

209
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 6: I had in training camp, you know, coming out of

210
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 6: training camp and he's coming off of an injury before

211
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 6: week one, and his response was just consistent with all

212
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 6: the work that he's really put in over the summer

213
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 6: and so now there's just this extreme consistency there. He's

214
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 6: got a confidence that comes with that. Like I really

215
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: you can see when a guy has earned the confidence.

216
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 6: There's a lot of guys that can walk around with

217
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 6: arrogance or brashness because they're talented, but the work ethic

218
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily match the talent.

219
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 5: That they have.

220
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 6: DJ is a guy who's confidence SEMs from the work

221
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 6: he's put in, and so we've all seen it as

222
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 6: players and coaches, and so to see him go out

223
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 6: there and play with the consistency he has, it makes

224
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 6: you really proud of him, because a guy who's just

225
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 6: all right, I'm facing a little bit of adversity. I'm

226
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 6: not starting week one. I was just told I'm not starting.

227
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 6: I think I should be. Didn't say anything about his teammates,

228
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 6: thought that they were very deserving the opportunity they got.

229
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna go work, and that's what he did,

230
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 6: and he got his opportunity and he's made the most

231
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 6: of it. I think he's having a Pro Bowl year,

232
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 6: and so it just I think proud's the first we're in.

233
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 6: Not that I have anything to I don't go out

234
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 6: there coach the corners, that's Chuck, that's him best out

235
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: and everything that they're doing. But I am proud just

236
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 6: to know the person and the response I've seen from him.

237
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: That's leadership. Like when you talk about leadership, developing leadership.

238
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 6: It doesn't always have to be loud and vocal and

239
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: all that stuff something like, because it can be a

240
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 6: go out there and I'm just going to do my

241
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 6: job and make sure everyone knows I'm dependable and they

242
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 6: can count on me. And that's that's exactly who DJ

243
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 6: Turner has.

244
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 5: Been this year. Potential absolutely absolutely. Do you think.

245
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Samana has a shot this week and before?

246
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 7: Because before he went, you know, had his problems.

247
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: What did you see from him?

248
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 6: I saw a guy that was fighting through injury, you know.

249
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 6: And and so I think he's just had a tough

250
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 6: go of it this season. And and it's because just

251
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 6: things that have happened to him on the field. And

252
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 6: so I don't want to make any declarations about this

253
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 6: week because we haven't got out there and practice yet.

254
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 6: I want to make sure we see him practice and

255
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 6: he's got the confidence of that, We've got the compasence

256
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 6: of that before we put him back out there. So

257
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 6: again that's completely up in the air really as we

258
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 6: watch him go through the week. But I like he

259
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 6: sits in the front road of the team meetings. Man,

260
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 6: he's he's always on me when I'm up there presenting.

261
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 6: He does a great job taking it all in Jerry's

262
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 6: office is right next to mine.

263
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: You know. I can see the attitude he's got every.

264
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: Single day, and so I'm fired up when when we

265
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 6: do get him out there, whether it's this week or not,

266
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 6: for the future that he's got here, because he's a

267
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 6: guy that I'm really high on.

268
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: He seemed pretty active.

269
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: I mean, like in August, I mean yeah, he didn't

270
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 7: have much absolutely seemed to be active before you.

271
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 6: Heard yeah, and he was healthy, you know, and then

272
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 6: said to fight through the injuries. That's tough to evaluate

273
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 6: any rookie when they're fighting through injuries. We had that

274
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 6: last year with Chris, we had a Mim McKinley. We

275
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: had we had some guys that just got dinged up

276
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 6: during the season and they fight through it, just like

277
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 6: Samar has done. And so I look forward to get

278
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 6: him on the field and letting him make an impact

279
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: for us because I know what he's healthy, he'll be

280
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 6: able to do that.

281
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 11: I was thinking about this going back to Miami, and

282
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 11: then you mentioned lessons from twenty nineteen and twenty twenty.

283
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 11: In twenty nineteen in Miami, what did it end up meaning?

284
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 11: The way boyd like fought back to the line of

285
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 11: scrimmage in that one moment when he was hurt and

286
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 11: kind of you hoping to see some similar things down.

287
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 6: It shows the heart and the character of the guys

288
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 6: we have that they just want to win. You know,

289
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 6: you tune out the outside noise, and you tune out,

290
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: you know, anybody making a comment to you about draftic

291
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 6: and none of that's just nonsense.

292
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 5: We put every second of our livelihood into.

293
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 6: Winning games and doing everything we can to represent ourselves

294
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 6: the right way. And so these types of games are

295
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: big character games. You get a chance to reveal what

296
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 6: we're made of. You know, we know we're not going

297
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 6: to the playoffs, but you still get a chance to

298
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: go out there and fight like we did.

299
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen.

300
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 6: And you know, I remember Ifert picking up TV on

301
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 6: triple in and helping them get up, and we cocked

302
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 6: the ball and then we throw a vertigo for touchdown

303
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 6: the next play and.

304
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: All this tape that we still use today.

305
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 6: Is represented by those guys that started this process for me,

306
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 6: you know, the TVs and the geos of the world

307
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: and the cjs and the guys that fought to build

308
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 6: the culture and the foundation that we kept building on

309
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 6: over all these years, and we got the guys. The

310
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 6: guys in the locker room are doing the same thing

311
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 6: right now. It is disappointing where we're at, but we're

312
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 6: still have a foundation that we're going to continue to

313
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 6: build on and so we can go win divisional titles

314
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 6: and conference titles and the Super Bowls in the future.

315
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 9: Part of you like when you met Joe, Thank goodness

316
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 9: week we got out of Miami losing because we get

317
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 9: Joe at no more, no, no, it's.

318
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 5: You couldn't look at it like that.

319
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 6: We again, that's just doing a disservice to the work

320
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 6: we put in every single day. If you say, oh,

321
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: you want to go lose a football like, absolutely not

322
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 6: that you know. I don't think people really understand what

323
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 6: the next morning feels like for us when we lose

324
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 6: the game, what the bus ride feels like, what the

325
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 6: plane ride feels like. Well, getting out the next day

326
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 6: and doing whatever you got to do, and trying to

327
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 6: get the guys going again on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

328
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 6: to get ready to play on Sunday. What it does

329
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 6: your favor, none of that. So we fight every second

330
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: to win football games. We don't for one second tolerate

331
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 6: anybody that says we should do this or that and

332
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 6: not focus on winning. So that's what I love when

333
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 6: I have a team meeting this morning and you just

334
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: look in their eyes. Everybody's on the same page. Everyone

335
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 6: knows what's at stake here, what's at stakers. We need

336
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 6: to win the games we feel better and so we

337
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 6: can build some momentum for ourselves and then go win

338
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 6: the next one and then do things we got to

339
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 6: do in the off season to keep improving our team.

340
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 6: But that's our only focus right now is finding a

341
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 6: way to go down to Miami, win the game, get

342
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 6: on the bus and the plane with a smile on

343
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 6: our face because it's been too few of those this year.

344
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 13: Thank You're going back to what you were talking about

345
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 13: with the setup, and you talked about how much you

346
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 13: love the input you get to have, like the scouts

347
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 13: in the setup here, how willing is the organization and

348
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 13: I'll ask this to you too, But since you're a

349
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 13: big part of the draft process is to look at

350
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 13: you guys had a lot of success that you've talked

351
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 13: about with that twenty one and twenty two seasons, but

352
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 13: the last couple of seasons with them all ending and

353
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 13: losing seasons. How willing is everybody to look at the

354
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 13: process and maybe make tweaks and changes to it if needs.

355
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for a lot of the reasons everything

356
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 6: was praised in twenty one and twenty two and then

357
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 6: you have down years and it's okay, you need to

358
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 6: change everything. Well, where were those comments when we were

359
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 6: doing it very similarly and we are ever a great year.

360
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: So for us, everybody's always open to evolving.

361
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 6: I can't speak for everybody, but I know just from

362
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 6: dealing with everybody in this building, everyone wants to win

363
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 6: and do everything it takes to win, and so I

364
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 6: know that better than anybody because I interact with everybody,

365
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 6: and so I feel extreme confidence that we're all on

366
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: the same page. All we want to do is win

367
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 6: and bring championships here to Cincinnati, and we'll do whatever

368
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 6: it takes to put it. Specific words on how that's

369
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 6: going to Look, that's all for us behind the scenes

370
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: to work through it and make sure we do all that.

371
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 6: But I have absolute confidence that we have the right

372
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 6: people and the right setups to make this happen, because

373
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 6: we've proven it and we'll prove it again.

374
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 9: You believe ownership in the front office feels the same

375
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 9: way about it.

376
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 6: I don't want to speak for anybody, and I get

377
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 6: what Mike just said, but I have a great relationship

378
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 6: with them. I believe in them. I don't ever want

379
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 6: to speak for someone when they're speaking about me. That's

380
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 6: that's unfair. I shouldn't do that. But I love the

381
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 6: relationship I have with every in this building. The unique

382
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 6: thing about this is we get the meet so often,

383
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 6: and that's a really good thing because there's no three

384
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 6: weeks of no communication face to face. I'm wondering what

385
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 6: they think about a game, what they think about none

386
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 6: of that. We get a chance to form a relationship

387
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 6: and go through all this stuff and it's.

388
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: The right way to do it.

389
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 6: And so again I'm excited for to finish out this

390
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 6: season the right way and for the future as well.

391
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 8: Like Miami made a change at our quarterback looks either

392
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 8: to go Quin yours.

393
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 6: What's overall, I haven't seen that. I mean, I know

394
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 6: that was a report. I heard Mike McDaniel say that.

395
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 6: So until that, they've got a really good offense. I

396
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 6: think that Mike does a great job with the scheme.

397
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: I don't want to call it unique because we we've

398
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: seen it over the years with with him at different places.

399
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 6: But he does a really good job being creative and

400
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 6: stressing you in different ways maybe that some other teams

401
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 6: don't in the run game and not afraid to be

402
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 6: very creative with how he does it. And so got

403
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: a lot of respect for Mike McDaniel and the job

404
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: he does. And I know they they ran into some

405
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: circumstances in Pittsburgh and cold Weather and that's that's a

406
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 6: good team. But it's a it's a very difficult offense,

407
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 6: regardless of who the quarterback is. They put a lot

408
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 6: of stressing in the run game. They do a great

409
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: job getting guys open with a lot of speed in

410
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: the pass game that can finish on exposive plays, and

411
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 6: so it's a very challenging group to go against.

412
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 8: Drafted a quarterback in a while, even late rounds is

413
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 8: that this year was at consideration and know y'all swopp

414
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 8: through the QB and three a lot this offseason.

415
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: Was it a consideration and maybe see what you could

416
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: get the seven?

417
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 6: We always evaluate, you know, we always evaluate who's out

418
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: there and how they fit us, put up against another position,

419
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 6: put up against our quarterback room. And obviously we've we've

420
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 6: done what we've done, Zach, when.

421
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 14: You I know you're focused obviously just on winning the

422
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 14: game in front of you. But with three games left,

423
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 14: what do you want to see out of guys that

424
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 14: are no maybe outside of the four guys that you

425
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 14: have that when you when you go at the end

426
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 14: of the season started valuing and figure out what you need

427
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 14: to for twenty twenty six, what can guys show in

428
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 14: these last three games to show that they should be

429
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 14: part of what you had part of the plan before

430
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 14: you get figure out what you need to add or

431
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 14: improve on.

432
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 6: The team to get back to where you continue on

433
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 6: the same trajectory. A lot of these guys are on

434
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 6: you know, I think with any player at the beginning

435
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 6: of their career, guys that have gone on the field

436
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 6: for us have have truly you can truthfully say you've

437
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: gotten better every single game, and so just to continue

438
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 6: on with that and all the work that these guys

439
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 6: are put in over of course their careers, but really

440
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 6: starting back in January of getting putting together great offseason,

441
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: all the work they put in the summer training camp,

442
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 6: going through this season like it's you don't stop now

443
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 6: just because of the circumstances we're in. So I expect

444
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 6: these guys continue to give their best.

445
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: I know they will. And to your question, what are

446
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 5: young guys?

447
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 6: You just want to see him continue on the same

448
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 6: trajectory we've seen them on, especially this last couple weeks.

449
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, all right, there we have at Austin.

450
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: It's my favorite one of the year. That's by far.

451
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: I thought that was as much pushback as we've heard

452
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: Zach take at a press conference in quite some time.

453
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 3: I don't really know if I agree with Zach that

454
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: he said they hit on all six picks this year.

455
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: There's the jury still out on that.

456
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: I don't fully believe the relationship with Duke and working

457
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: side by side, along with what he had to say

458
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: about the scouting department, he did take ownership and said

459
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm the one to blame for this, no one else.

460
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: I'm the one to blame. He also made mention of

461
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: how much he's talking to ownership weekly.

462
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is a unique thing about this job,

463
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: is the money day meetings with ownership. Marvin Lewis has

464
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: talked about this over the years. It's something that happens

465
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: does not happen across the NFL, and I do think

466
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: that that can lead to a very clear understanding of

467
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: where you stand within the organization. Sure, and you know

468
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: we know this about Mike Brown. He will not mince

469
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: his words. He will be very straightforward when talking about

470
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: how he feels or what he thinks. I always think

471
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: of Andre Smith walking into his office on hard knocks

472
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: and Mike Brown basically said, you need to lose some weight,

473
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: big boy. And like even the way that he addressed

474
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson at Mock Turtle Soup Day this year. Mike

475
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: Brown's not afraid to tell you what he thinks. No,

476
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: and I do think that's a good thing for a

477
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: head coach in the NFL each week, to be able

478
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: to have those conversations. I don't understand why Zach would

479
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: not confirm his contract status. Yeah, it was weird how

480
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: he went around that. I don't understand why what's the

481
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: purpose of not confirming that correct that I agree with

482
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: that I would love to get an answer is why

483
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 2: can't we know that, Yeah, Trags did some work today. Man, Trags,

484
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: you know he's Trags is saying the quiet part out loud.

485
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: Drags is ottoman and he has been for a week

486
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Now.

487
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: We don't get to talk to anyone else's that's Trike's thing, like,

488
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 3: we don't get to hear from anyone else, so you

489
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: have to tell us yeah.

490
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: And this is the first time where I felt like

491
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: Zach was kind of like, oh, yeah, you know, yeah,

492
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: I had enough. I loved it, and I appreciate from

493
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: a strictly from a Bengals fan perspective, I appreciate that

494
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: Trags push back on that. Yeah, Zach kind of stepped

495
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: in it by saying you would have to ask them,

496
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: because that throws the alley you for Trags to dunk

497
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: and say we don't get to talk to them. Yeah,

498
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: And after that, Zach doesn't have anything he can say. Agreed.

499
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: It is, you know, unfortunate that Zach has to be

500
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: the guy. We would love more transparency from Duke and ownership.

501
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. Agreed that was enjoyable, loved it.

502
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: I might listen to it again as soon as I'm

503
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: off work today. We'll take our break. Kelsey asked a

504
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: good question too at the end, which is kind of

505
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: the question I've been asking the question of the off season.

506
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: How are the processes going to change? Yeah? I didn't

507
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: like Zach's answer to that either.

508
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll take a break when we come back. Your Talkbacks,

00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Stations.

521
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 17: Does your favorite NFL team have an ownership that runs

522
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 17: it like a small business, Well you better hope to

523
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 17: Christ that they have super share. Don't be kindis sure,

524
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 17: don't be pretty sure, don't be a little share you

525
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 17: better be super sure that that.

526
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 18: I truly can't believe my eyes in that video of

527
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 18: Tony dressed up as the elf he was touching up

528
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 18: public trash can wow.

529
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 5: I don't know.

530
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm not a germ guy, eh, I mean, I like

531
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: to keep things clean.

532
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 19: I think the Bengals had a great year. They got

533
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 19: their starting safety to agree to take a pay cut,

534
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 19: then they beat Shamar Stewart and his agent and forced

535
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 19: him to take the forfeiture provision and his rookie contract.

536
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 19: Only two members of the Ring of Honor called him

537
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 19: out for being a cheap skate Boomer and Corey Dillon.

538
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 19: And lastly he saved a much bunch of money by

539
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 19: not having to pay someone to remove this note from

540
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 19: the stadium. It was a great year for Mike Brown

541
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 19: and the Bengals.

542
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 12: Tony quick question.

543
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 18: I see your boy Jesus back on the team, and

544
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 18: it kind of shows how desperate Wes is to get

545
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 18: this thing going in the right direction, which I understand.

546
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 18: But I just can't see Huggins or Cronin allowing someone

547
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 18: back on the team after all that's happened.

548
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 12: I mean, what's your opinion?

549
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: I think it's a I think it's a desperate play.

550
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 3: I don't think that Wes Miller has uh has many

551
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: other plays left in the playbook.

552
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: That would be my thought.

553
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 20: I now present to you the relationship between Bengals fans

554
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 20: and Mike Brown.

555
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 21: Did you really think about it?

556
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 22: M Hey, Audie, I heard you yesterday that you really

557
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 22: enjoying your sisty head mask. People don't know what it is.

558
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 22: It's like a you know, something like a ski mask

559
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 22: or whatever that goes over your whole head and covers

560
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 22: your mouth. In fact, I think you should wear it

561
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 22: in in the studio to cover your mouth and I

562
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 22: can stand Henyon, tighten it down to your lips, don't move.

563
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, today it's freezing in here.

564
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 23: Even given the Bengals pathetic history of losing to backup quarterbacks,

565
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 23: if we do lose to Quinn Ewers, the whole thing

566
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 23: needs to be burnt down and restarted.

567
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: That guy is a bum. Wow.

568
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 3: He did get that Christmas tree to jump off side

569
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 3: the other week.

570
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: You know, Joe Burrow or Zach Taylor was saying coaches

571
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: every game like it's his last. If he loses to

572
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: Quinn Yours, it might be his life could be.

573
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 16: What anecdotal evidence is there to suggest Joe Burrow actually

574
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 16: likes playing for Zach Taylor?

575
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: Other than Joe not.

576
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 16: Trashing Zach publicly, we all just assume Joe likes Zach.

577
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: How do we know that? Do you think Joe wants to.

578
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 16: Play the entirety of his career for Zach Taylor? This

579
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 16: is absurd, by the way, playing Joe these last three

580
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 16: weeks makes no sense whatsoever. Ca you imagine if he

581
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 16: suffers yet another catastrophic injury.

582
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's players want to play and they're paid well

583
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: to play.

584
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: Coaches should have the best interest for those players. I

585
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: just like you heard Zach talk about it. You heard

586
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey talk about it, Like, guys, aren't just going

587
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: to quit playing football? You cannot operate? Scared? You just can't.

588
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: I get where you're coming from. But that's the reality.

589
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: Every time he steps on the field, whether it's week

590
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: fifteen or week five.

591
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 24: It's the Lord. I gotta start bench cut.

592
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Hello Lord?

593
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 24: Do you like getting Christmas presents wrapped? Do you like

594
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 24: getting Christmas presents in gift bags? Or do you just

595
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 24: like getting gift cards?

596
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: I legit could care less about at my age, I

597
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: could care less about gifts that I get. However it's gifted,

598
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 3: I don't care. I thoroughly enjoy the process of giving.

599
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: And when I give gifts, I wrapped him. That's not

600
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: the question. I would rather unwrap a gift. Okay, it's

601
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: a start bench cut. Well, you've really struggled with this

602
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: over the last couple of months. Start bench cut. Give

603
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: the options. I'll start the wrap, okay, I'll cut the bag,

604
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: all right. Or I'll bench the bag and I'll cut

605
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: the gift card. Okay, I agree, Put the gift card

606
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: in the bag. STA's easy, almost as easy as the answer.

607
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: You can start bitch cut true.

608
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 25: So turning awesome turning. This one's vainly for you. But Austin,

609
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 25: feel free to answer. Instead of start bench cut, we're

610
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 25: gonna do fire Keep, Extend, Zach Taylor, Wes Miller, Scott's Sadderfield.

611
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 25: Oh my gosh, I can't wait to listen.

612
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'll go first, go fire West, Miller, Yeah,

613
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: keep Zach Taylor, Extend Scott's Sadderfield. Wow.

614
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: At this point, it's probably fire West. Although I've been

615
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: banging the Zach Taylor drums for quite some time I've been.

616
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 3: I've been on the Zach Taylor thing for longer than

617
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: I have been on the West.

618
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: So I'll fire Zach. Oh it means you have to

619
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: keep her extend West.

620
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: I'll keep West because Jessel's back, and who knows how

621
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: they play with Jessel, And then I'll extend Sat.

622
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: Good day to be set sevens the wing Wednesday.

623
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 26: For those who celebrate Tony in Austin, we get some

624
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 26: hilarious antics this Bowl season. We get Mayo getting dumped

625
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 26: on a coach, a pop top getting eaten alive. What

626
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 26: would we have for a Tony Pike three sixty Bowl?

627
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 26: Maybe Austin in a dunk take, maybe those goofy boys

628
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 26: that Halloween for our chierleaders, or maybe something else. What

629
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 26: do you guys think.

630
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: I'd throw Austin in the dunk tank? Yeah? I would

631
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, we gotta have a lot of water. Hey,

632
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: just a couple of questions.

633
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 27: First off, do you think it's better to put in

634
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 27: the backups and see what you got for next year

635
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 27: and lose out to improve a draft position? I think

636
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 27: if we win less three games, so you can pretty

637
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 27: much say goodbye to Caleb Downs or anybody being a

638
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 27: starter or significant contributor. And also my second question would

639
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 27: be for Tony, do you have any eligibility left that

640
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 27: you could help out during the bowl game.

641
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: I'm out of eligibility. I'm more of one that that

642
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: I would rather get the higher draft pick. Are you

643
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: one hundred percent out of eligibility?

644
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: For sure? I would.

645
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: I would honestly have to look. I would have to look,

646
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: but I think I am.

647
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 20: Hey, guys, DJ east Side little onto the weather. He's

648
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 20: last couple of days. I'm not sure if it's doing

649
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 20: to missing my daily dose of Tony Pikes sinty three

650
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 20: sixty or if it's the bird flow. The Browns family

651
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 20: has continually flipped the bird to the fans in this city.

652
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 20: And I know he sees with just another sad chapter.

653
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 20: I knew Zach's has way too comfortable in his post game.

654
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 20: He knows he's not going anywhere prom with Zach is

655
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 20: he couldn't coach a bunch of kids open the cookie,

656
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 20: jarn Us, it was already open.

657
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

658
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 20: If conditions aren't perfect the entire game, he finds a

659
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 20: way to lose, coach his way to a win.

660
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: Thanks for the lump of col Mike.

661
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 28: Hey Austin, Hey Tony Paul from Cleaves here, just wanted

662
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 28: to say that I'm on board with Joe Burrow starting

663
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 28: the last three games of the season, and everybody keeps

664
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 28: looking to the future. But you know, the way I

665
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 28: look at it is he signed that contract. If he's healthy,

666
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 28: he's playing. That's the way you have to look at it.

667
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 28: I mean, he could get hurt outside of football and

668
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 28: ruin his career the same way he could slip on ice.

669
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 28: He could actually cut a finger off making food. So

670
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 28: I mean he signed a contract that said he was

671
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 28: in an NFL quarterback.

672
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean we're not gonna win the Marconi this year?

673
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: Does that mean we just don't work the last three

674
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: weeks of the season somewhat argue.

675
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 29: Hello friends, and welcome to Deep Thoughts with Uncle Ron. Hello,

676
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 29: Wess is a miss, But fear not. The Jisel is back.

677
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 29: Oh and quinn Ewers better fear him. The Bengals defense

678
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 29: is sewers.

679
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: Ooh, Bengals defense is Sewers.

680
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 30: Yeah, I'm surprised the Dolphins played to a song ago

681
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 30: left over that much money in the first place. You know,

682
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 30: I know they're gonna throw to h and a thousand

683
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 30: times someday. Oh yeah, do you think the Bengals defensive

684
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 30: coordinator and linebackers will be able to figure that out?

685
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: But let's hope, so.

686
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: I'm not confident that they will figure that out. Tua

687
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: turned the ball over Tony.

688
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 12: Austin, He I from out healthy here.

689
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 31: My toes are finally defrosted some Sunday's game feeling better.

690
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 31: Work has also slowed on for me, so I can

691
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 31: now call in more, leave a talkback.

692
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 12: Really excited. I miss you'all, Miss Tony, miss Ausmas, the

00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 12: or x if you will.

695
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 31: I really don't use it that much more because all

696
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 31: it is is talk ciity and negativity, and my holiday

697
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 31: season is gonna be better without it.

698
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: Highly encourage alligen talk sicity.

699
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: It was nice to see Johnny on Sunday. I hadn't

700
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: seen him in a while. It's a toxicity. He's got

701
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: that back corner table at the Holy Grail lockdown. Yep, yep.

702
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 31: And because it's been a minute, I'm a double dip unapologetically.

703
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 31: I used to be the freaking president. I get to

704
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 31: do what I want. Tony and Austin in your family?

705
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 31: What was the food traditions for either Christmas Eve or Christmas?

706
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 31: Did you always have the same meal every year? Did

707
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 31: you always have the same breakfast every year?

708
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 12: You know? What are the traditions food wise?

709
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 31: I would love to hear that, and if the other

710
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 31: talk Parkers want.

711
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: To chime in the great question. Uh?

712
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: Growing up, it was always I remember lasagna. And now

713
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: the thing I look forward to most on Christmas Day

714
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: is my grandma's. She makes like roast beef sandwiches. They're fantastic.

715
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: And on Christmas Eve, my in laws do spaghetti and meatballs.

716
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: Interesting and it's fantastic, except I found out one year

717
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: Austin it wasn't actually meatballs. It was like deer meat venison,

718
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: and not through me for a big loop.

719
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: You didn't know that whole time. Nope, because you would

720
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: never have eaten it.

721
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: I and then and then manas like see, I told

722
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: you it's all in your head because I like this

723
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: is good.

724
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: Yep. Now you don't eat it anymore? Do you? They

725
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: make separate meatballs. Venison is delicious. They make they make

726
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: separate meatballs. You are a child and you need some

727
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: serious Uh. I hope you donate your brain to science

728
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: when it's all said and done, I really do. Uh.

729
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: I don't know that we had like traditions. I guess

730
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: Christmas morning, my dad would always make pancakes. He makes

731
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: the best pancakes. So I think the last couple of

732
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Christmases or whatever, I've been by myself, so I've like

733
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: tried to make his pancakes on Christmas Morning. So I

734
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: guess that's the only one I can think of.

735
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 23: Okay, Hey, guys, Steven Montgomery, regarding the defensive end situation,

736
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 23: I would actually offer a sign a three or four

737
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 23: year extension, maybe forty five million, somewhere around the neighborhood

738
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 23: of fifteen per I think he's going to bring a

739
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 23: lot more than ten on the open market if you

740
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 23: look at his pressure win rate, his flexibility of position

741
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 23: on which side he plays on, and the one thing

742
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 23: you know about him is he's a high motor, relentless guy,

743
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 23: and he's come on each year when he's got more opportunities.

744
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't hate that at all.

745
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 32: Okay, this is DJ you know, just listening to Zach's

746
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 32: conference there, you know he really went his tenures don

747
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 32: the Bengals, which can't come soon enough.

748
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 33: He really needs to go into politics where you can

749
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 33: just talk and talk and talk, not really say anything

750
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 33: and results don't matter. He is perfectly set up for

751
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 33: that because that is exactly what you get from him.

752
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 2: Marvin was the same way. Yeah, a lot of coaches

753
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: are are good politicians.

754
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 34: Hey, guys, Jeff in India. I mean, that's the best

755
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 34: press conference I've heard in quite some time. And it's

756
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 34: time to turn up the heat on this. Damn guy.

757
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 34: If you've got a contract to twenty twenty seven, then

758
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 34: you're gonna get these type.

759
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 12: Of questions when you're four and ten.

760
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 34: It's ridiculous. Good on you, Trags and Rapine and Kelsey

761
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 34: and Ben Baby and Paul and everybody else. Keep it coming,

762
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,800

00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: Oo dah. There you go.

766
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 35: exciting two for one announcement for your Cincinnati rat and

767
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 35: Cincinnati Bengals. The Cincinnati Bengals, how fired, Zach Taylor and

768
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 35: Duke Tobin and Duke Tobin and Taylor have signed with

769
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 35: the Cincinnati Reds to play left field a designated hitter

770
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 35: in place. I'm Kyle Schwarter, who, of course the Reds

771
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 35: were unable to sign because they're cheap. For more information,

Speaker 35: visit Reds dot com.

773
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: Thank you. That would be tough for Duke Tobin if

774
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: you've got to talk to the media every day. Yep, yep.

775
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 27: Haven't we ended the last three or four years on

776
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 27: Wayne streaks of eight, five and seven? You know, wins

777
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 27: the last three years and it never carries over to

778
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 27: next year.

779
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: The momentum never carries over again. He needs to pick

780
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 2: a different answer for that. Yep.

781
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 27: And he's on double secret probation. That's why he doesn't

782
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 27: have an answer for his contract.

783
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it again. I don't know, man. They

784
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 2: turned five last year into seven this year.

785
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: The hottest team down the stretch last year, But yeah,

786
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: it worked out this year, So let's do it again, man,

787
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: meaningless football.

788
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 16: I heard Mike in La earlier say that his old

789
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 16: man was Ambi Dexters.

790
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: Wow, man, that's awesome.

791
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 19: I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

792
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 2: Well, then you couldn't be ambidextrous. This thing on blue alright?

793
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: Very good? A break one segment or two today. I'm

794
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,320

00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: Okay, two quicker segments. Chad Brendle kicks off our number three.

797
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: all ahead in a touch? Not a touch? What's the

798
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: word I'm thinking of? I don't know what's gonna do

807
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: stop in. We'll go a stop in. He's gonna touch base,

808
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: touch base? Is that what you were going for? He's

809
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: gonna touch space with us. We'll take a break mercifully

810

Speaker 3: thanks to since he starts at sincey three sixty on

811
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 3: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports station.

812
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: This is any in the NATI Grunch You in part

813
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: by bod Light and by Oakley Greens on ESPN fifteen thirty,

814
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals, dove.

815
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: Into this a little bit earlier.

816
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: This week as we dive back into Cincy three to

817
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 3: sixty Austin, the week sixteen schedule across the National Football

818
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: League should set up to be a very good one,

819
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: starting with Tomorrow Night. Does the winner of Ram Seahawks

820
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 3: Austin in your opinion, have the front have the easiest

821
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 3: path to the super Bowl? And I won't say easiest,

822
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: but do they have your path to the super Bowl?

823
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: Is it one of those two teams?

824
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that whoever, whoever wins that, that's who

825
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: you think. Whoever is the number one seed in the NFC,

826
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: which is probably going to be one of those two teams. Yeah,

827
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: I think would be my favorite in the NFC. That

828
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: being said, who do you trust more? In that one?

829
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: Tomorrow Night?

830
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: Seahawks fantastic defense, but it's Matthew Stafford and Sean mcvay's.

831
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 3: It's essentially a pickham Who do you trust more?

832
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: Seattle? Right now? Really? Yeah, I've had the same philosophy

833
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: for years now. Now.

834
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: The Rams did sneak by the Seahawks the first time around.

835
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, home short week primetime games. Yeah, in the division,

836
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm always going to go at the home.

837
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: That was the game in which Sam Darnold threw four

838
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: interceptions and they still and it was still a twenty

839
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 3: one to nineteen game. Yeah, but Sean McVay just had

840
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 3: a kid. Oh so there's that potential Dad strength. Sure

841
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: that gets brought into the equation now from Thursday to Saturday,

842
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 3: and I'm just going Marquee games here. Packers Bears should

843
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: be a do at Soldier Field Sunday. Every Bills game

844
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: now is important because of the gap that they made

845
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: up on the New England Patriots, and the Patriots have

846
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: to travel to Baltimore on Sunday night football. That's a

847
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: massive game. Other games, you're you're looking at teams that

848
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: are just trying to avoid a bad loss. Chargers against

849
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, who are essentially eliminated, Chiefs Titans. I could

850
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: really care less. Buccaneers Panthers. Are we sleeping on this

851
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 3: one at all? Both teams tied in the division game. Yeah,

852
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: they played twice down the stretch Buccaneers Panthers Sunday in

853
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: the one o'clock window. How about the Jags Broncos. Broncos

854
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: obviously riding high, but this Jaguar team Austin, you were

855
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: on them early in the season under Liam Cohen. This

856
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 3: is the most confident I think we've seen Trevor Lawrence.

857
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: I agree with that Steelers Lions, put up or shut up.

858
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: Time for the Detroit Lions, as I mentioned, Patriots Ravens,

859
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: and then Monday Night football you get the Niners taking

860
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: on Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

861
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: It should be a fantastic and fun Week sixteen in

862
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: the NFL College football playoff games. The first round also

863
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: get underway Friday and Saturday. Big sports weekend. Heads ahead,

864
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: we'll finish up our number two next Chad Brenda will

865
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 3: kick off our number three. Since e three to sixty

866
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, you've

867
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: Been listening to football in the NATI on ESPN fifteen thirty,

00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: the official home of the Cincinnati Bengals,
