That was the traffic 15 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: report on the way in. Everything is clear unless you're 16 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: trying to go to Kenwood. 17 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: Mall or Rookwood Commons. I drove past there and that exited. 18 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: It's crazy too. 19 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: The daughter and the girlfriend are at Kenwood now pray 20 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: for them. They might still be I left them about 21 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: forty five minutes ago. They might still be trying to 22 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: find a parting spot. You know, it's having a better 23 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: day than anybody trying to shop at Kenwood Mall. The 24 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, yes, sir, pretty much domination last night of 25 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Mainly because some guy 26 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: named Burrow played quarterback for the Bengals yesterday and he 27 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: was excellent. I think I would keep him as the start. 28 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: You know what's funny is like this is not a 29 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: shot at Joe Flacco. Like Joe Flacco played great. It 30 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: just looks so different when Joe's out there. Burrow. 31 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: It just. 32 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: His ability to maneuver the offense, his ability to manipulate 33 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: a defense, to see what's happening as it's happening, before 34 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: it's happening. Did he have like the best game of 35 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: his career. No, And you could tell early he was 36 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: trying to find his rhythm. He missed a couple. I mean, 37 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: you know, this thing could have been a lot different. 38 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: It could have been even more of a domination than 39 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: it was. The Bengals settled for four field goals in 40 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: the first half, and it had that feeling of boy, 41 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: you got an outstanding half from your defense and you're 42 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: up twelve to seven, and this defense can't possibly hold 43 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: up over a full game against Lamar Jackson in that offense. 44 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: But then the second half was even better than the first. 45 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Joe got cooking a little bit, great throat to Jamar 46 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: Chase for forty three yards. The touchdown pass to Tanner 47 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: Hudson was a thing of beauty. The touchdown pass to 48 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 2: Andre Yoshivas perfectly layered over a defender in front, right 49 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: into Yoshavash's hands with a safety over the top, and 50 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: all of a sudden feel little leaf creeping in. Is 51 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: it too late, Let's be honest. Yeah, it's probably too late, 52 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: But we've seen this team go on end of season 53 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: runs before with Joe Burrow under center. It's not completely 54 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: out of the realm with possibility. And really, when you 55 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: start getting digging deep into it, you've got the next 56 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: two that are very difficult, the Bills in Buffalo and 57 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: then the Ravens here the next two weeks. But then 58 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: you end the season with Dolphins, Cardinals, Browns. The Bengals 59 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: have a chance to go five and one in the division, 60 00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: a division that's not very daunting right now, Steelers are 61 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: six and five, Ravens are six and six, Bengals are 62 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 2: four and eight. Now, could they definitely use some help 63 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: from the Bills this week as the Steelers host the 64 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: Bills at four to twenty five on Sunday. Sure, send 65 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: your two games out, five games to play and you 66 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: can at least see it. You can at least feel 67 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: like it's a possibility. And why obviously, because you have 68 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow twenty four forty six two sixty one, two touchdowns, 69 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: no interceptions, only one sack. We saw him, especially early, 70 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: quite a bit more under center play action, being a 71 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 2: little bit more efficient, being a little bit more. They 72 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: were careful to not leave Joe back there exposed. But 73 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: then as the game got going, you could see Burrows 74 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: settle in, You could see him get comfortable, you could 75 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: see him start spreading the ball around. I mean, look, 76 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase had seven catches, he had fourteen targets, so 77 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: they were, you know, trying to get the ball to Chase, 78 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: who notoriously cooks the Ravens. Chase Brown was the checkdown 79 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: guy seven for thirty five, but then Josebash one catch 80 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 2: twenty nine yards, Tinsley two catches twenty two yards, Kaseki 81 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: two catches nineteen yards, p Ryan two catches fifteen yards, 82 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: Hudson the touchdown catch for fourteen. Sample won for fourteen 83 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: hit no fan for a three yard completion. Found nine 84 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: different receivers in those twenty four completions. When somebody got open, 85 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: Burrow got him the ball. The running game was solid 86 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: fifteen for Chase Brown for seventy eight. He breaks a 87 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: franchise record when you add in the thirty five receiving 88 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: yards at six games consecutively over one hundred yards from 89 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: scrimmage for Chase Brown here on fourteen for thirty nine. 90 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: He was in there to get kind of those those tough, 91 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: physical inside run yards. He was only a two point 92 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: eight per carry, but Chase Brown five point two. You'll 93 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: take five point two all day every day. There was 94 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: one play I didn't like. Tern you know which play 95 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: it was? Can you guess? 96 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: No? 97 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: I don't like Joe in the tush push. Did you 98 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: see the into that play? 99 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: No? 100 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 4: I didn't see the end of it. 101 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: He I mean he looked like an accordion. His lower 102 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: body was low upper body was high, head was pushed back. 103 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: That's not a Joe Burrow play. You know. One of 104 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: the reasons Jalen Hurts is so good at that is 105 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: because he gets almost as low as his offensive line 106 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: and is able to burrow to a first down. That 107 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: that's not you like what I did there. That was 108 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: pretty clever. H That is not Joe Burrow's game. He 109 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 2: had his head up a little bit too high. The 110 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: defenders were wrapped around his waist and his legs, and 111 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: he got folded up pretty good. 112 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: It was. 113 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: It was good to see that he bounced back from 114 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: that and and and jumped right up off the pile. 115 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: I don't love Joe Burrow in the tush push, But 116 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: other than that, it didn't really ever feel like he 117 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: was in a lot of danger. Credit to the offensive line. 118 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: They gave him time. It felt like he was even 119 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: maybe more alert to what was happening in and around 120 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: the pocket. A couple times he did get out of 121 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: the pocket and and kind of you know, make plays 122 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: on the move, make plays off platform. It didn't feel 123 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: like some of the stuff that makes you worry when 124 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: there's you know, four guys chasing him down and Joe's 125 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: trying to like escape. It felt like he was clean 126 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: out of the pocket, had open passing lanes, had room 127 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: to survey, room to look around and make sure that 128 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: everything was, you know, where he wanted it to be, 129 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: threw it away when he needed to. If this is 130 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: the evolution of Burrow, I like it. I like it. 131 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: And imagine how that would have looked if he didn't 132 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: take most of the first half to really find his rhythm, 133 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: and that could have been forty to fourteen. And let's 134 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: be honest about the Ravens. They do not look good 135 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, nine catches combined for Likely and Andrews, 136 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: which you know, the book is out. The Bengals linebackers 137 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: are not great in coverage. We saw that again yesterday. 138 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: There were plays to be had over the middle of 139 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: the field for the tight ends, but nobody else had 140 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: more than two catches for Baltimore, one for Henry, two 141 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: for Hopkins, one for Kohler, two for Keaton Mitchell's, two 142 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: for z Flowers. So they bottled up Baltimore on the outside. 143 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: And let's let's talk about the defense, because that is 144 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: what people have been talking about. Like they didn't look 145 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 2: overly dominant. Now the fumbles and the forced turnovers obviously 146 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: skewed things in the bengals favor. You get five turnovers 147 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: from Baltimore, you're doing a pretty dang good job. But 148 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: they battled, they fought. 149 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 4: I mean the. 150 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: Forced fumble. Jordan Battle got cooked on that route by 151 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: Likely and lost connection to him. As Likely catches the pass, 152 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: he pulls away starts rumbling down the field. Give credit 153 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: to Jordan Battle who stayed with it. Could have very 154 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: easily just kind of jogged halfheartedly behind the play as 155 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: Likely rolls in for a pretty easy touchdown, and instead, 156 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: Battle kept up the pressure and forced the fumble right 157 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: at the goal line into the end zone. Bengals takeover 158 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: in a pivotal sequence there in the first half. That 159 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: would would have given Baltimore fourteen before halftime Bengals would 160 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: have been trailing. Who knows the difference and the score 161 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: at that point in time what it actually would have 162 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: ended up as. But that's who this defense needs to 163 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: be because they're not the most talented group in the world. 164 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 2: But they've got to hustle, they've got to fight, they've 165 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 2: got to make plays, even through some of the growing pains, 166 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: some of the deficiencies that they have. There were still 167 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: some mistackles, there was still at times pretty poor linebacker play, 168 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: but you know what they got, They got really good games. 169 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: One Joseph Assi two sacks, four tackles, four quarterback hits. 170 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: He made things tough for Lamar Jackson all day. And 171 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: then Miles Murphy was kind of the robin to his batman. 172 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: Murphy had three tackles, a pass defended, and was around 173 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: the football most of the night. From the defensive end position. 174 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 2: That's what the Bengals have been missing. That's where the 175 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: defense can evolve. That's what That's why it's so important 176 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: to have a pass rush because I thought also there 177 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: were a couple times in that second half where Lamar 178 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: Jackson was inaccurate because his clock was sped up because 179 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: once Aside started getting pressure. Now that opens you up 180 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: on third down, on fourth down to send pressure, and 181 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: if you watch that second half, third down, Al Golden 182 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: sent a ton of pressure and made Lamar Jackson make 183 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: quick decisions, put him in a position where he wasn't 184 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: able to spin out of the pocket and really make 185 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: you pay outside of the you know, he had one 186 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: first down run that was pretty impressive, but six carries 187 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: for twenty seven yards. You'll live with that from Lamar 188 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: Jackson all day. But because they were able to make 189 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: him uncomfortable on first and second down, now you're in 190 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: third and you know longer. You're not in those situations 191 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: where it's always third and four, third and five or 192 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: less and you're worried if you send pressure, they're just 193 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: gonna hit a hot route, they're gonna get something out quick, 194 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: and they're gonna beat the coverage. The Bengals didn't allow 195 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: that to happen at Dax Hill had a pretty good game. 196 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: Two passes defended, six tackles. DJ Turner was solid, evidenced 197 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: by the wide receivers not really being able to do 198 00:15:50,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: a whole lot for Baltimore, Gino Stone and Battled, They'll 199 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: still leave you scratching your head at some point in time, 200 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: but the two of them combined for fourteen tackles and 201 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: it wasn't a lot of like making plays down the 202 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: field after Baltimore had picked up twenty five yards. So 203 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: all in all, give out Golden's unit a gold star 204 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: because I thought they finally looked like the version that 205 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: we hoped for at the beginning of the season and 206 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: now this is three weeks in a row. This is 207 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: the best that they've played, holding Baltimore to fourteen. But 208 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 2: three weeks in a row, the defense has played well 209 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: enough for Cincinnati to win. And that's absolutely an improvement 210 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: over the nine games prior, where it just felt like 211 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: it didn't matter no matter what the Bengals did, it 212 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: was going to be a disaster. Taryn and I, I 213 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: had a my cousin pointed out something to me, uh, 214 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: last night that I hadn't thought of. Defense has played 215 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 2: pretty well three games in a row, right, yep, you 216 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: know who's been out those three games. 217 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: CCB Schamar Stewart him too. 218 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: His last game with Chicago where we were talking about 219 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: the well, you just gotta you gotta accept the fact 220 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: that the defense is going to give up forty since 221 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: the Bears game they gave up the thirty four to 222 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: the Steelers, which was you had to pick six in there. 223 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 2: I didn't think the defense was horrible in that game. 224 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: The offense was really bad in that game. And then 225 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: you only gave up twenty six to the Patriots last week, 226 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: which should have put you in a better position to win. 227 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 2: But again the offense struggled and then last night only fourteen. 228 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: Just I don't know what the exact correlation to that is, 229 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: if there's any correlation at all. There's something he brought 230 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: up last night as we were talking about the game 231 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: that I found interesting. All Right, we're gonna listen to 232 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor. We're gonna listen to Joe Burrow when we 233 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: come back.

Everybody was very happy with 269 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 2: the pulled ham. It still weirds me out because it 270 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: looks like pulled pork, but it tastes like ham. There 271 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: were there were folks that, like, you know, we had 272 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: a different group for the Thanksgiving this year a little bit. 273 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: There were folks that were looking at it like I 274 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: don't know what that is, and I don't know why 275 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: it's at Thanksgiving like it's pulled ham. Oh, and then 276 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: they tore into it. So it's pretty popular.

It was gone quick. It 288 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: was gone quick. Other NFL games yesterday, Packers thirty one 289 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: twenty four over the Lions. Packers eight three and one 290 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: Lions seven and five. Ben Johnson was a big loss 291 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: for the Lions. There big loss. They don't look the 292 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 2: same seven and five, four and two at home. That 293 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: is uh, that is a loaded division. And right now 294 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 2: the Lions are in third. I don't need to I 295 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: don't need to tell you who's in fourth. Yeah, What's 296 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: what's it like for an Ohio State guy to have 297 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: a Michigan quarterback that isn't playing well? How much more 298 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: frustrating does that make the experience? 299 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 3: I mean, I can overlook I can overlook the fact 300 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: that he went to Michigan and once he's in. 301 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: The league when he's playing bad. 302 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: No, I'm just the fact that he went to Michigan. 303 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 5: I know. 304 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: But I'm saying, like, you can overlook it if he's winning, 305 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: if he's losing. Isn't that somewhere deep inside you? That's 306 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: like I knew I always hated that guy. 307 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 4: Well, I said it before we drafted them. I know, pissed. 308 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 4: I have a truck record on Twitter? Why did we 309 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: draft them? 310 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: I know? But now it creeps into your head a 311 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: little bit, doesn't it? Why did we draft that Michigan guy? 312 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: I knew he sucked? And then Cowboys thirty one twenty 313 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: eight over the Chiefs. The Chiefs six and six, they 314 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: are one in five away from home, and they have 315 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: Texans Chargers, Titans, Broncos, Raiders to close out the season. 316 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: So they should win the Titans in the Raiders game. 317 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: But the way they're playing right now, I mean the Texans. Look, 318 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: the Texans lost their first three. They're six and two 319 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: cents and that defense looks like a monster tearan. 320 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: The AFC is like just still so wide ope, because 321 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 3: like the team's at the top, you still don't trust them. 322 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. 323 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 3: Feel like if Kansas City's just sneaks seen, they're probably 324 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: still a favorite to get to the. 325 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, probably, but sneaking in, I mean the good 326 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 2: part for them. I know this is going to sound shocking, 327 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: right the Texans, the Chargers, and the Broncos. They're three 328 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: tough games out of their last five are all at home. 329 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 2: The two road games are the Titans and the Raiders 330 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 2: that you think they should win, so they've got a 331 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: chance to go on a run. But we have not 332 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: seen this Chiefs team sitting at five hundred this late 333 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: in the season. It feels like since like the early 334 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: two thousands, they've been that good. So it'll be interesting 335 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: to see how they handle the adversity. And hey, yeah, 336 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: give it up to the Cowboys. Everybody left them for 337 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: dead when they traded Micah Parsons. Maybe that was the 338 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: right move for them. 339 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 3: Well, the fact that they they got active before the 340 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: trade deadline helped too. 341 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: That helped definitely. But they're sitting at six five and one. 342 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: They're they're definitely a factor. They look really good offensively. 343 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: And then today Bears and Eagles going at it Philadelphia, 344 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: seven point favorite, three o'clock on Prime Video.

But it was great to be back 351 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 10: out there. I was, you know, a lot of emotions 352 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 10: running through it at the end of the game. 353 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: So it's just good to be back with the guys. 354 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 11: You know. 355 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 10: I thought second half, I started to put it more 356 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 10: where I wanted and settled in a little bit, certainly 357 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 10: missing throws early that I typically make.

They mixed up their 429 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 10: their looks down there. They would they zero pressured us, 430 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 10: they double jamar, they single jamar, They did a lot 431 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 10: of different things down there. You know, at the end 432 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 10: of the day, we gotta make plays and put put 433 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 10: more in the end zone. We can't kick six six 434 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 10: field goals. But that's the kind of game that it 435 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 10: was with our defense playing the way that it was 436 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 10: and the way we were running the ball, it was 437 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 10: take your points kind of game. 438 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 5: Obviously. 439 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 10: The one that really, the one that really hurt was 440 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 10: when we got the turnover down there and came out 441 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 10: with no points. You know, typically something like that happens, 442 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 10: it's gonna be tough to win the game. 443 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 15: But if we were able to pull it out all four. 444 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 10: Stat yeah, and then that was really the only drive 445 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 10: that they did that. 446 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 5: And then. 447 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 10: The next couple of times they they were still playing 448 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 10: some man and like I said, doubling Jamar sometimes, not 449 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 10: doubling them sometimes. But we needed somebody to make a play, 450 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 10: and Tanner made that play on in my opinion, won 451 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 10: the best safety in the league who just continuously makes 452 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 10: play after play. And that one really opened the flood gates. 453 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 10: It's so credit tanh won. 454 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Joe Burrow. Well, we'll hear 455 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: from Zach Taylor a little bit later in the show. 456 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: Let's take a break.

Like I said, no guest today, 471 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: I left today completely wide open. This is a fan 472 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: friendly Friday football frenzy. That's a lot of ass. Let's 473 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: go out to the phones. Mark and Florence. Mark, what's 474 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: up my brother? 475 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going? 476 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 13: Tad? 477 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm great. 478 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 8: I was glad they won the game last night. I 479 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 8: was actually surprised they won the game last night. But 480 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 8: I see the same consistent thing with this coach. He 481 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 8: gets on the two yard line and tried to spread 482 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 8: the offense out and throw the ball instead of running it. 483 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 8: It's like my opinion of him is if he had 484 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 8: Dallas Cowboys offensive line in the early nineties, but he doesn't. 485 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: He's got one of the worst offensive lines. It's past. 486 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 8: But even if he did, and he had a Hall 487 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 8: of Fame running back, he would still throw the ball. 488 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 8: I think he's gonna go down, you know, throwing the 489 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 8: ball at all calls. I mean, Joe Burrow threw the 490 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 8: ball forty six times last night. He's got a decent 491 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 8: he got a decent running game. I mean, when is 492 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 8: he ever going to learn when you get in the 493 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 8: red zone, you got to use the tight ends over 494 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 8: the middle of the field. I think with a miss 495 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 8: Matt g Yeah. 496 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 2: I agree to an extent, but you're gonna put the 497 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: ball in the hands of nine Mark. Like, you can 498 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: complain about whatever you want, and Zach has given us 499 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 2: plenty of things to complain about, but one of them 500 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: is not they gave the ball to Joe Burrow and 501 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: let him do his thing. Like, Joe Burrow is a 502 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 2: top three quarterback and he might not be two or 503 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 2: three in the NFL. So you're gonna ride or die 504 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: with Joe, and you gotta trust what he sees it 505 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: sometimes right. 506 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 8: Okay, But at the two yard line, I mean, can 507 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 8: I get one running play? 508 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 2: They did run one time and got a quarter of 509 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: a yard. 510 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 8: You know, well, well what about two from the two 511 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 8: yard line? How about how about can we run it twice? 512 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 2: Okay? But but Mark, it's a double edged sword because 513 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: if they run it twice and they get no yards 514 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 2: and they still come away with nothing, everybody's gonna say, 515 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 2: why didn't you just put it in the hands of 516 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow? Now, but here's here's where you could, I think, 517 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 2: make a valid argument. There is that was early in 518 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 2: that game, and Burrow was clearly rusty, clearly rusty, and 519 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: you're asking him to make a couple super tight window throws, 520 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 2: the fade, the slant like you're asking him. You're asking 521 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 2: him at that point. Now if it was third or 522 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: fourth quarter when he was cooking. Yeah, like you give 523 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 2: Joe the ball? 524 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, I guess Now they won the game last night, 525 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 8: and let me ask you this question and then I'll 526 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 8: get off. Do you look at it more like they 527 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 8: beat the Ravens or the Ravens helped them out, because 528 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 8: what if they're likely fumble don't happen at the goal line, but. 529 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 2: The Bengals made that fumble happen. 530 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 8: Okay, got it? And then that push off where that 531 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 8: guy had to touch down. But he had pushed off. 532 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 8: I mean he had he had had to be back beat. Yeah, 533 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 8: he didn't really even have to push off. 534 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 2: He didn't. 535 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 8: But you know, that may have been a different game. 536 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 8: But hey, they got five turnos and they won the game. 537 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 8: So I'm not taking anything away from them. 538 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: Mark. If it's some butts for candy and nuts, we'd 539 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 2: all have a merry Christmas. Right, Okay, here's the thing 540 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: I will say, just real quick, here's the thing I 541 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: will say. On the turnovers. Sometimes those things are fluky, right, 542 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 2: Sometimes there's stuff that happens, and it didn't really feel 543 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 2: like the defense was all that involved in it happening. 544 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: I thought they forced those turnovers. You had the tip 545 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 2: ball at the line of scrimmage for the interception, you 546 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 2: had the hustle play from battle on the fumble, the 547 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 2: play on uh Zay Flowers, the ball got punched out, 548 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 2: Like I thought, the Bengals were the aggressor, and a 549 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 2: lot of those turnovers were the results of the Bengals 550 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: making a play. 551 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 552 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 8: I just wish I just wish he would run the 553 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 8: ball a little more. Yeah, but we'll see what happens 554 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 8: and if they missed the playoffs by a game or two. 555 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 8: We're probably gonna. 556 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 2: Think about the Jet Jets and the Bears. 557 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, we gonna think about them. 558 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 2: Think about where they would be. They would be tied 559 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 2: for first place in the division if they didn't choke 560 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 2: away those two games. 561 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 8: Okay, yet it Okay, let me get off. 562 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 2: And appreciate you, Mark, thanks man. All right, you're gonna 563 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 2: take one more team. Okay, let's take a break and 564 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 2: we're back right after this. Since I's ESPN fifteen thirty. 565 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 2: This is since he three S. 566 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 6: Four joined Dave Lapham and me this afternoon at three 567 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 6: for Bengals pep rally on the official home of the Bengals, 568 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 6: Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty. 569 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is right. Here goes out to Oh the baby's. 570 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 2: Mamas, Mamas, baby mamas, Mamas, mamas, baby mamas, momas, baby 571 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: marmas mom. Closing out hour number three, Let's get back 572 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: out to the phones. Scott wants to talk Trey Hendrickson 573 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: and Ken Anderson Hall of Fame. What's going on, Scott, Hey. 574 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 17: Great show as always, and happy belated Thanksgiving. 575 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: Thank you you as well. Hope the turkey was wonderful. 576 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,439 Speaker 17: Yeah, and I hope the pull t Hamil's good too. 577 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 2: Pulled ham was excellent. My my uncle makes the best turkey, 578 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 2: so I usually just go for a lot of that. 579 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 17: Hey, my first question is do you feel that Trey 580 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 17: Hendrickson and I hate to ask this right now, or 581 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 17: do you think I'm back and help this team. 582 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: I'm so out on Trey at this point. I'm not 583 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 2: gonna lie. I get it, he's hurt, but the drama, 584 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 2: the shenanigans, the whatever that we've seen from him for 585 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 2: the past two years, and then to get the deal 586 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 2: and then this is the end result. Like, it's frustrating. 587 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 2: I tell you what. The way that Osaiah Murphy played 588 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: last night. 589 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 17: Was great. 590 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 2: I'm fine. Like, you know, if you can get more 591 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 2: of that, you don't need Trey Hendrickson. Would I like 592 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 2: him out there? Sure? Do I think he's a bit 593 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 2: of a one trick pony, yes? Yes? But would he 594 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 2: help the team? Yeah, he'd helped the team. He'd help 595 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,919 Speaker 2: because defense is hair, because offensive lines have to pay 596 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 2: so much attention to him. But I mean, if he 597 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 2: comes back, he's he's not a He's more of a 598 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 2: rotat guy at that point, isn't he Absolutely? 599 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 17: He is a one trick pony. I mean, I do 600 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 17: miss those sacks to close that game. 601 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 2: Sure, but I'll tell you what, Al Golden showed a 602 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 2: little something that we had not seen from him yesterday. 603 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 2: Third down he was bringing seven like he was bringing. 604 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 2: These were not disguised blitzes. This was seven guys standing 605 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage saying Lamar, we're coming. 606 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 11: I liked it, and I loved it. 607 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 2: I loved it. 608 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 17: And secondly, sorry to switch subjects on you, do you 609 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 17: think Ken Anderson gets in this year? He's the only 610 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 17: quarterback left in that group. 611 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 2: I don't know how he doesn't. I mean, what are 612 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 2: we doing if Ken Anderson's not What are we doing 613 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 2: right now? That Ken Anderson's not in the Pro Football 614 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame? It's ridiculous. So I do think he 615 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: gets in. 616 00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 18: I hope. 617 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 17: So I don't know if this is true, but I 618 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 17: heard the Bengals do a lousy job of promoting their own. 619 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 2: Shocking Yeah, set Scott, that's I mean, that's hard to believe. 620 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 2: They do a hard time promoting Joe Burrow. Yeah, oh man, 621 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 2: I do, because I hate There's nothing I hate more 622 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 2: than these guys that get in after they're gone.

Is it worth it to go 667 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: through the pain of a weekend that saw the Bearcats 668 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 2: basketball lose to a Rank Louisville Bearcats football lose to 669 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 2: a Rank BYU, the Bengals lose against New England even 670 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 2: though they played pretty well, and then FC Cincinnati gets 671 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 2: dump truck in the playoffs. I'm messy, and then the 672 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: Beericats on Wednesday Woff lose to Eastern Michigan. Is that 673 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 2: all worth it? If the exchange is Joe Burrow's back 674 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 2: and he's gonna give this team a jolt over the 675 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 2: final five weeks of the season. Is that a trade 676 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 2: you make? Is that a gamble that's worth it? Gotta 677 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: go through a week of some pain, but Burrow's back 678 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,280 Speaker 2: and the Bengals have hope again. And if there's anything 679 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 2: we love more than anything in this town, it's a 680 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 2: quick whiff of that open hopium, the Hopium, not the 681 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 2: don't the Hopium.

There was probably thirty 688 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 19: forty people, but it was very nice. 689 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 2: Dick, you're not a Gramby and castrole guy, are you. 690 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 20: A little bit? I like hash Brown Castrolet? 691 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's more of a brunch thing for me. 692 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 2: But hashbrown casseroles good. Anything that involves potatoes and cheese. 693 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 2: I'm in, Dick. 694 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 19: Let's say something, Okay, I said to all my friends, 695 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 19: and I think I told when I was talking to 696 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 19: Jerry Jeff. 697 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 20: When Burrow got back, I had this feeling that they 698 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 20: were going to play great against the Ravens and the defense. 699 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 20: I'll give them an a. 700 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 19: They looked like a protein down there. 701 00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 11: Chad. 702 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 2: You know yeah, I mean, nobody's gonna mistake him for 703 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 2: the eighty five Bears, Dick, But no that all we've 704 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 2: ever talked about is just be okay, just don't fed 705 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 2: dog poop. If you're not dog poop, then Joe Burrow 706 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 2: can win you some games if you can get a 707 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 2: couple stops each half, or get a turnover here and there. 708 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 2: They had ten turnovers. Yeah, in the season leading up 709 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 2: to last night and they got five. 710 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 19: Hey, who was that new color commentator.

Yeah, they don't. Arren can confirm, like 737 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,280 Speaker 2: I can't come up on a random Tuesday. 738 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 4: And say hi, yeah no no, no. 739 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: I'm only allowed and I've got like a half hour 740 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 2: before the show. My key card works, and then like 741 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 2: I've got like five minutes after the show to get out. 742 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 2: There's no there's no Hey, I'm in the area, let's 743 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 2: stop by and see how everybody's doing. That's that's not 744 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 2: how that works. I don't blame them. I mean, I 745 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 2: you know, I understand. But anyhow, the big thing for 746 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 2: me last night, outside of Joe Burrow is what can 747 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 2: we take from that defensive performance because there were still issues. 748 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 2: They still miss seven tackles. They have a tackling issue. 749 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 2: They have a tackling like travesty at times because they're 750 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 2: just not good at it. They don't have good tacklers, 751 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 2: they don't take good angles. They are often in terrible 752 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 2: leverage situations. So yeah, like a lot of times it'll 753 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 2: say mistackle on the sheet. But for you know, you're 754 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 2: trying to bring down an NFL tight end or Derrick Henry, 755 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 2: like you were never gonna You might have slid off 756 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: the guy, but you were never really in position to 757 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 2: make that play because you had a bad angle, because 758 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,320 Speaker 2: you had bad leverage, because you were slow to the ball. 759 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 2: And there was still some of that yesterday, but it 760 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 2: felt like there was a lot less. It felt like 761 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 2: they were at least creating some havoc at least around 762 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 2: the ball in position to make a play. And you know, 763 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 2: that's part of the frustrating thing over a lot of 764 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 2: these games is that there wasn't somebody in position when 765 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 2: an opportunity arose. A perfect example would be late in 766 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 2: the game, the uh the tip pass that goes up 767 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 2: I think it was Murphy. It was either mur Murphy. 768 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,759 Speaker 2: I think it was Murphy. The tip paths that goes 769 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 2: up in the air and results in the the interception 770 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 2: for Carter or Night, sorry Demetrius Night. It felt like 771 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 2: a lot of the games the first half of the season, 772 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 2: that ball would get tipped, it would go up in 773 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 2: the air, and it would just land softly in the 774 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 2: middle of the green, grassy field with nobody to make 775 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 2: a play, or the the fumble by Zay Flowers where 776 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 2: that ball would just bounce out of bounds with nobody 777 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 2: there to jump on it. Part of being that type 778 00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 2: of defense that that Bengals fans want to see and 779 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 2: that this team needs is being around the football, not 780 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 2: being lost in space running with the guy you're not 781 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 2: supposed to be covering. 782 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 22: Uh. 783 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 2: And then you know, you get one of those those 784 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 2: ugly dots you know talking about on it a social media. 785 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 2: They'll they'll put up the dots, oh yeah, and you'll 786 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 2: see this guy running and then they'll be like, Okay, 787 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 2: that guy should take him. And then the guy that 788 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,880 Speaker 2: should take him goes running off with like an already 789 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 2: covered running back that's just there to clear space and 790 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 2: just go stand over on the sidelines, and the linebacker 791 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 2: goes and runs over to that guy, and the tight 792 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 2: end breaks free and there's nobody within thirty yards and 793 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,760 Speaker 2: you look at the dots and you're like, oh boy, 794 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 2: I didn't feel like there were a lot of dots 795 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 2: plays last night where the Bengals look bad, And the 796 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 2: main one was the one Jordan Battle got back and 797 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 2: made a play before likely could get into the end zone. 798 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 2: And I talked about this earlier with Mark. Yeah, you 799 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 2: can say the Ravens were sloppy, and they were, but 800 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 2: if you go back and look at those plays, those 801 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 2: were turnovers that were created by the Bengals. They weren't accidental. 802 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 2: Balls were punched out. You had the first interception where 803 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 2: Osai got back to the ball and the ball kind 804 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 2: of popped up in the air, and next thing you know, 805 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 2: the Bengals have recovered the fumble and they're going the 806 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 2: other way, and you didn't get a lot of stats 807 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 2: for Cedric Johnson other than Cedric Johnson recovered two fumbles. 808 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 2: That's the type of guy that this defense has been missing. 809 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 2: Somebody that's around the ball, somebody that's in position to 810 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 2: make a play when the opportunity arises. Now, obviously there's 811 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 2: still a lot of work to be done, because you're 812 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 2: not gonna go into Buffalo next Sunday and force four 813 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 2: fumbles and recover all of them and have a five 814 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 2: turnover day. So you've got to keep building. You've got 815 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 2: to continue to get this younger group of guys up 816 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 2: to a confidence level where they can go not only 817 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 2: from making things really difficult for Lamar Jackson on Thursday night, 818 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 2: but then next Sunday make things difficult for Josh Allen 819 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 2: because the last three weeks there has absolutely one hundred 820 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:07,280 Speaker 2: percent been an upward arc for this defense, and maybe 821 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 2: that it hasn't been perfect, maybe that makes them the 822 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't looked at the numbers over 823 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 2: the last three weeks. Maybe that makes them the twenty 824 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 2: first or twenty second best defense in the NFL. Do 825 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: you know how much of an improvement it is from 826 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 2: where they were to that if they continue on this trend, 827 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 2: they are ruining potentially my favorite storyline of the season, 828 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 2: which is I was really hoping for an opportunity to 829 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,360 Speaker 2: talk a lot about the Bengals and their quest to 830 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,760 Speaker 2: become the worst defense in the history of the NFL, 831 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 2: like we really believe that they could following the Jets 832 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 2: and the Bears loss losses. But at the end of 833 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 2: the day, there are good things happening. You're starting to 834 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 2: see some of these guys play with the type of 835 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 2: urgency that they have to play with because a lot 836 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 2: of this group is getting to, uh, what's the best 837 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 2: way to put it, getting to decision day. They're gonna 838 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,719 Speaker 2: have to make a decision on Joseph A'SI at the 839 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 2: end of this offseason. Sure they'd like to keep him. 840 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 2: They've given him a million chances. He hasn't always lived 841 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 2: up to it. You hope this is that light flickering 842 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 2: on and he can help get you there. Miles Murphy 843 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 2: has felt like a waste of a first round draft 844 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 2: pick right What we saw from him yesterday makes it 845 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:58,200 Speaker 2: feel like there's potentially a path, a window that's opening 846 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 2: for him to show that he was worth his draft pick. 847 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 2: We've seen DJ Turner ascend this year. The Dax Hill 848 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 2: played pretty well yesterday. Honestly, I'm not smart enough to 849 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 2: know what to make of Knight and Carter, the two 850 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 2: young linebackers, because at times it makes me feel like 851 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 2: I want to stab myself with a hot fork watching 852 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 2: them play and watching them get lost in whatever's happening 853 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:41,319 Speaker 2: in front of them, picking up the wrong read, going 854 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 2: into you know, hitting the wrong hole on a play 855 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 2: that gets you know, a jump cut and bounced outside 856 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 2: for big yardage, a mistackle like it just feels like 857 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 2: with those two guys, we knew they were gonna need 858 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 2: a learning curve. We knew that they were gonna need 859 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 2: in a billy to ramp up their performance, ramp up 860 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 2: their value throughout the season. And while that's not anywhere 861 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 2: close to a finished product, we are at least finally 862 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 2: being able to watch these two guys start to help 863 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: contribute and that's a vast improvement over where they were 864 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 2: combine for ten tackles. Now, as your two linebackers on 865 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 2: the field, you'd probably like that to be a little 866 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:44,959 Speaker 2: closer to fifteen. Jordan battle with ten Daxo was six. 867 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 2: Those two guys in your secondary got sixteen on the game. 868 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 2: So you don't know yet if that you're not ready 869 00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 2: to mark defensive end is solved. We're good at defensive. 870 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 2: It's still a long way to go. However, it doesn't 871 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 2: feel like that those guys are gonna have to go 872 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 2: on the scrap heap and you're gonna have to start 873 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 2: over trying to find a pass rush. Now they need 874 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 2: to stack. Gotta start stacking games. To feel like you're 875 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 2: making that jump, You're you're finding consistency, You're you're finding 876 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 2: an ability to keep teams out of the end zone. 877 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 2: For two months, it certainly felt like seven eight times 878 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 2: out of ten, not only was the other team gonna march, 879 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, between the twenties. They were gonna march between 880 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 2: the twenties, and they were gonna punt in for a touchdown, 881 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati was gonna have to answer the number of 882 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 2: touchdown drives over that first half of the season that 883 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 2: you couldn't even get up and go get a drink 884 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 2: of water or a frosty beverage from the fridge if 885 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 2: you waited until the kickoff the ball is in the 886 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 2: air for the other team. Didn't have time to go 887 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 2: relieve yourself and get something out of the fridge and 888 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 2: come back and sit down before there was another commercial 889 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 2: break because the Bengals were about to receive the kickoff, 890 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 2: you know, four and a half minutes after whoever the Jets, 891 00:59:52,800 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 2: the Bears, whoever got the ball, so he stepped forward. 892 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 2: The problem is in no way, shape or form rectified, 893 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 2: but at least you feel like looking at it now 894 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 2: and going, Okay, I might have to squint, I might 895 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 2: I might have to grab the binoculars, but I feel 896 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,400 Speaker 2: like I can start to see the progress. I can 897 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:29,840 Speaker 2: start to feel like momentum is shifting. And I thought 898 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 2: last night when you watched it felt like Al Golden's 899 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 2: fingerprints were all over it. Now you go to Buffalo, 900 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 2: then you get Baltimore back in Cincinnati. Let's see if 901 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 2: it can continue. Phone line's open. What'd you think of 902 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 2: last night? Talkbacks are coming up next. Get your talk 903 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 2: back in.

I'll 932 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 18: go to turn up the pressure. I mean, they took 933 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 18: poor angles here and there. They was roasting us last night. 934 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 18: Well while they was roasting, we was roasting the rat birds. 935 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 18: That was excellent. That touchdown in Yoshi Voss was fired. 936 01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 18: Joseph Oside was playing like fire last night. We're gonna 937 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 18: be one hundred percent going against Buffalo. Buffalo should be nervous, 938 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 18: they should be scared. Here we come who They. 939 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,200 Speaker 2: Agreed your defense, got a little confidence, got a little 940 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 2: little pep in their steps. So hopefully it's uh, it's 941 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 2: a sign of things to come. No, I'm not letting 942 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 2: them off the hook. 943 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 18: I changed my mind, wes Man, come on, EMU, we're 944 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 18: gonna lose it that team like that. You guys looked 945 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 18: at flat. We got a problem. You lose the Xavier. 946 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 18: We got a serious problem here.

And uh, don't look far behind coach Sat. 948 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 18: I'm still talking to you, g Man. Figure way to 949 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 18: be TCU. Don't feature Joe Royor is a problem. Man, 950 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 18: it's irritating as fans. Man win this game and don't 951 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 18: get no crappy bowl dot com type game. 952 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 2: You dig what I'm saying. There's there's a lot of 953 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 2: truth in what Ron has to say about the Bearcats 954 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 2: right now. Like I said, we'll get to that an 955 01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 2: hour three. 956 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 24: West Miller. 957 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 25: Bearcats is the tournament this year. 958 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 10: He's got to be out right as head coach. 959 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 2: Where's the line? That was a low talk? That was 960 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 2: a very low talk back. Look, as I have said 961 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 2: all along, like, do I think it's a guarantee that 962 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 2: if you see miss as the tournament Wes Miller's fired. No? 963 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 2: Do I think it's likely probably. And the reason I 964 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 2: say that is you don't know until you have the 965 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 2: whole picture of a season. What that means, well, now 966 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,920 Speaker 2: you have in the in the keep west Miller column, 967 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,000 Speaker 2: in the don't keep when move on from west Miller column, 968 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,320 Speaker 2: the move on from west Miller column has a loss 969 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 2: to Eastern Michigan where you never led for one second, 970 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,600 Speaker 2: Not one second did Cincinnati have a lead. They got 971 01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,800 Speaker 2: it to one in the second half and immediately gave 972 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,439 Speaker 2: up a seven to zero run to go back down eight. 973 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Toughness was the issue. Last year. They went out and 974 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 2: recruited what they felt would be a team to combat 975 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 2: the fact that they had a toughness problem. They came 976 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 2: out flat against NJIT. They were just that much significantly 977 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:38,640 Speaker 2: better than them that it didn't matter. They came out 978 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 2: flat against Eastern Michigan. It was ten to nine. I 979 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 2: don't know how much you were did you have the 980 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 2: were you working the board? 981 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 11: Tearn? 982 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was running something that I think a chance 983 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 4: to watch it. 984 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,439 Speaker 2: They were down ten to nine, and you looked back 985 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,480 Speaker 2: up and it was twenty seven to ten, a seventeen 986 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 2: to one run from Eastern Michigan, and Cincinnati never really 987 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 2: recovered that. Can't look Louisville goes on a seventeen to 988 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 2: one run, all right, you can understand it. Eastern Michigan. 989 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 2: You let Eastern Michigan go on a seventeen to one run. 990 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 2: That ain't it. 991 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 26: Man. I hate to be the branch here, but I'm 992 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 26: legit kind of sad seeing Joe Burrow back and playing 993 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 26: well and the defense playing well because at four and eight, 994 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 26: even only two games back, I mean, there's only five 995 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:40,440 Speaker 26: games to go, and it's gonna be gonna be tough 996 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 26: to win the division. 997 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 5: We're gonna look back, though, we're gonna. 998 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 26: Say, what if we have beaten the Jets the Bears 999 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 26: wouldn't have been awesome, We wouldn't wont all the tiebreakers, 1000 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 26: it would have been awesome. 1001 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,480 Speaker 11: So we're gonna have a lot off season content that'll 1002 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:50,880 Speaker 11: be fun. 1003 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:59,680 Speaker 2: Look, I get it, like it's very difficult to look 1004 01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 2: at this thing in four and eight and feel like 1005 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 2: there's hope, and especially with what happened to the Jets 1006 01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 2: against the Jets and the Bears, because it should be 1007 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 2: six and six and you're thinking, if we just finished 1008 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 2: strong three and two, four and one, even with a 1009 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 2: slip up, like we feel good in this division. So 1010 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 2: I get it. I understand it. I understand the frustration, 1011 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 2: but let's just let's just see where it goes. 1012 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 27: Well, is that chet is your friendly neighborhood pizza dude? Yeah, 1013 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 27: I agree with you. Dude did look a little rusty 1014 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 27: to start, but luckily he settled down, made the throws 1015 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 27: we needed him to make, and lucky for us, Lamar 1016 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 27: came to the game in playoff four. So yeah, anytime 1017 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 27: that happened, I would bet on Joe every time. 1018 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, Like I saw the playoff Lamar joke, 1019 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's in playoff form. I don't think a lot 1020 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,920 Speaker 2: of that was on Lamar, but he definitely wasn't sharp 1021 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination. And I thought the 1022 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 2: Bengals sped him up. I thought he looked uncomfortable at times. 1023 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 2: He was sailing balls a little bit like he did 1024 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 2: not look like vintage Lamar in any way, shape or form. 1025 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 2: And hey, sometimes winning as a matter of you caught 1026 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 2: the other guy on a bad night. But the Bengals 1027 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 2: played well enough to win, and they caught Lamar on 1028 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 2: a bad night, and that's how you end up winning 1029 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 2: by what eighteen. 1030 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,679 Speaker 21: Hey, jeffrom Casey here, I was impressed with our defense yesterday. 1031 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,040 Speaker 21: I really like how they're playing and what Golden seems 1032 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 21: to be doing now. I like bringing more guys in 1033 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,680 Speaker 21: a line of scrimmage. I like blitzing more. I like 1034 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 21: trying to speed up their offense, their QB and their 1035 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 21: own line. I think we have to do that. We're 1036 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 21: not good enough to sit back and just play. It 1037 01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 21: also helps our cornerbacks out a lot. I think also 1038 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 21: we will give up big plays doing that, but we 1039 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 21: expect our offense to be able to match those big 1040 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 21: plays and score points. 1041 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. They were giving up big plays not 1042 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,960 Speaker 2: doing that. They were giving up big plays being passive 1043 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 2: and sitting back in coverage. If that's already gonna happen, 1044 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,479 Speaker 2: If you're already gonna give up big plays no matter 1045 01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 2: what alignment you're in, then you might as well be 1046 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 2: super aggressive. At least if you're super aggressive, there's a 1047 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,679 Speaker 2: chance you have a guy you know deflect to pass 1048 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 2: up into the air that you intercept. There's a chance 1049 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 2: that you get a sack fumble that puts you in 1050 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 2: the two at the two yard line even though you 1051 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 2: don't score. Like the bend but don't break thing only 1052 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 2: works if you're keeping the other team from those explosives 1053 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 2: and teams have been killing the Bengals with explos so 1054 01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,840 Speaker 2: be aggressive. I loved it form al Golden yesterday. 1055 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 16: Guys, with how good Joe looked last night. And I 1056 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,280 Speaker 16: know he wasn't the sharpest he's ever been, but he 1057 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 16: was rolling out of the pocket, he was pushing off 1058 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:18,160 Speaker 16: that foot the toe. He didn't really seem to be 1059 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 16: too inhibited by it. How good he looked. It really 1060 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 16: makes me wonder if he could have played at Pakoor 1061 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,680 Speaker 16: on Sunday against New England. But I guess we'll never know. 1062 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 16: Either way, I'm going to enjoy the win. It's been 1063 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 16: a rough season, so at least enjoy this one. And 1064 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,880 Speaker 16: it's still alive, so who knows what happens. 1065 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I think the smart thing to do, the 1066 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 2: prudent thing to do, was not asked Joe after two 1067 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 2: months off to play Sunday against the Patriots and then 1068 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 2: come back on Thursday night against the Ravens. I think 1069 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 2: the wise, intelligent thing to do was say, let's give 1070 01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 2: him four or five more days, let's get him as 1071 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 2: comfortable and as up to speed as we can get him, 1072 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:09,800 Speaker 2: and then we'll turn him loose, because like, look how 1073 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 2: rusty he was in that first half. Things could have 1074 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 2: gotten out of hand against a better team, a team 1075 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 2: like New England, and then you maybe take a step back, 1076 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 2: You're you're set back a little bit. I think they 1077 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 2: played it right. I get the uh the onet to 1078 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 2: always kind of what if if if? What if Joe 1079 01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 2: was back last week? But I think the Bengals right 1080 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 2: made the right move. 1081 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 16: What the hell you guys are light on talkback? So 1082 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,479 Speaker 16: I'll leave another one. I got a question for your 1083 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 16: resident Vikings fan over there, would you, in fantasy half 1084 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 16: point PPR start Aaron Jones against Seattle or Tyler Warren 1085 01:11:54,760 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 16: against Houston half point PPR? Aaron Jones, Tyler Warren, what 1086 01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:01,559 Speaker 16: do you. 1087 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 4: Got that's for you? 1088 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Terren? 1089 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:04,639 Speaker 4: Tyler Warren? 1090 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 3: Okay, Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones has looked terrible all year. 1091 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 4: Doesn't help. 1092 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 2: Don't have a quarterback either, terrible, terrible, terrible, man, he terrible. 1093 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 3: There's one target Daniel Jones will throw it too, is 1094 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:19,920 Speaker 3: Tyler Warren? 1095 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1096 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 4: It's true. 1097 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 24: What in the world is going on with our basketball 1098 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,520 Speaker 24: team down there in Clifton, Man? Watching that game on Wednesday, 1099 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,280 Speaker 24: it was so painful. It was not a good way 1100 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 24: to start off Thanksgiving. It was a terrible way. I've 1101 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,640 Speaker 24: been a Wes Miller guy for so many years, and 1102 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 24: I still am. I love the guy. I want him 1103 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 24: to succeed so much, so bad. I've been defending him 1104 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,519 Speaker 24: for so many years. But Chad, I don't know how 1105 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 24: long I can do it. Convince me right now why 1106 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 24: I should still believe in Wes Miller as the guy. 1107 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,640 Speaker 2: I don't have anything to convince you right now. I 1108 01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:01,200 Speaker 2: think that would be disingenuous on my part. I don't 1109 01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 2: work for his PR firm. Contrary to popular beliefs, sometime 1110 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 2: what I saw was a team that thought that they 1111 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,280 Speaker 2: could just turn it on and turn it off whenever necessary. 1112 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 2: I saw a team that again, and this is like three. 1113 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,000 Speaker 2: That was like the third time this year in seven 1114 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 2: games that they came out and just didn't have an 1115 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 2: extra bounce in their step. They didn't have like look 1116 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 2: no further than how they started against Louisville. They played 1117 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 2: like their hair was on fire, and they got out 1118 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 2: to a seventeen to six lead. And it wasn't just 1119 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 2: because they were making shots, it was because they were defending. 1120 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 2: It was because they were forcing Louisville into tough shots. 1121 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:56,679 Speaker 2: Long rebounds, early offense, and then you look at even 1122 01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:02,679 Speaker 2: in Jit and then into Eastern Michigan, who just happened 1123 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,679 Speaker 2: to have some more dudes that could put up a fight. 1124 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 2: And I thought in the second half, I thought Buck 1125 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,759 Speaker 2: Harris and Dade Thomas really tried to spark that team, 1126 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,040 Speaker 2: and I don't think they responded. I think everybody else 1127 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,559 Speaker 2: just watched those two like normally, when your energy givers, 1128 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 2: when your high energy guys come in and start doing 1129 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 2: big things, everybody rallies around it. And I didn't feel 1130 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 2: like they did that, and that's why that lead. They 1131 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,800 Speaker 2: Thomas and Harris worked their butts off to get that 1132 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 2: lead down to one, but nobody followed their lead. That's 1133 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 2: a problem they've got to look like the first eight 1134 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 2: minutes against Louisville whenever they come out. There are gonna 1135 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,920 Speaker 2: be nights you don't make shots, that's fine, but there 1136 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 2: can't be nights where you're just, eh, we're gonna let 1137 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,360 Speaker 2: this team that's, you know, across the board, like four 1138 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 2: inches shorter than us at every position out rebound us 1139 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 2: for an entire game. That can't happen. The effort is 1140 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:18,880 Speaker 2: why they don't look right. When you play hard and 1141 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,080 Speaker 2: your energy is up and you make the other team uncomfortable, 1142 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,799 Speaker 2: good things happen as a result when you sit back 1143 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 2: and half that game felt like Eastern Michigan was just 1144 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 2: standing in a two three zone. They weren't trying to 1145 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,760 Speaker 2: pressure anything. They just said, we're just gonna stand here, 1146 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 2: and we don't think you guys can play around us. 1147 01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 2: That's embarrassing. We'll get to more of that hour three, 1148 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 2: but I have nothing to convince you right now. 1149 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 4: All right, last three. 1150 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 28: Okay, Hey Tarn, Hey Chad, Jeff and New Richmond. I 1151 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 28: hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving. Sounds like you did. 1152 01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,599 Speaker 28: Talking about the Bengals, Glad they won last night, and 1153 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 28: you know, the defense did play well. And but the 1154 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 28: other part about that is, you know, you can't be 1155 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:11,880 Speaker 28: called an opportunistic defense unless you take advantage of the opportunities. 1156 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:17,920 Speaker 28: The Bengals did last night. So kudos to them. 1157 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, I agree again. I go back to I 1158 01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,960 Speaker 2: think the Bengals forced those opportunities. I did not get 1159 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:30,799 Speaker 2: the vibe that the Ravens were just making unforced errors 1160 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 2: that allowed the Bengals chances they didn't deserve. I thought 1161 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 2: the Bengals forced those turnovers. I thought the Bengals were 1162 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:44,639 Speaker 2: the aggressor. One of my new favorite terms. I used 1163 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 2: to use it a long time ago. I've brought it back. 1164 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 2: The Bengals dictated the terms of engagement. The fight was 1165 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,560 Speaker 2: on the Bengals turf, even though they were in Baltimore, 1166 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,320 Speaker 2: even though much maligned Bengals defense, the Angles were the aggressor. 1167 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 2: And when you're the aggressor, good things tend to happen. 1168 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,560 Speaker 28: Chad, it's Jeff, Now the basketball. 1169 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 2: I want to do this anymore. 1170 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,560 Speaker 28: We do not have time for a twenty year rebuild. 1171 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 28: This is year five of the twenty year rebuild. Not acceptable, 1172 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:27,679 Speaker 28: not even close. And now you have the football team 1173 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 28: that is going to finish seven and six. You don't 1174 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,000 Speaker 28: know at what point is that acceptable. I will drink 1175 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,840 Speaker 28: nine hundred thousand dollars worth of since you like to 1176 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 28: get John Cunningham. 1177 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:43,479 Speaker 2: Out, I mean John Cunningham's buyouts, I think like three 1178 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 2: and a half four million dollars, So you have to 1179 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 2: do a lot more drinking than that. 1180 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 29: Jeff, Hey, I was really happy to see the Bengals 1181 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 29: one last night. I always want to see him win, 1182 01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 29: and that makes me feel good, but I'm scared it's 1183 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 29: going to be like repeat repeat of last year, where 1184 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 29: we just bring everybody back and say, oh, it was 1185 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,719 Speaker 29: just bad luck, and we'll pick somewhere in the middle 1186 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:09,599 Speaker 29: rounds and we'll get another traits guy. We have lots 1187 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 29: of traits projects. I would like to see us get 1188 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 29: a good draft pick and get someone like Caleb Downs, 1189 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 29: who's been compared to Troy Palmolo. I just that's what 1190 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:18,679 Speaker 29: scares me most. 1191 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 2: It's fair. How many times have we talked about this 1192 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 2: franchise struggles if they're not drafting in the top twenty 1193 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 2: percent of a draft, And that's terrifying because if you 1194 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 2: look at the franchises that are consistently among the NFL's best, 1195 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 2: there's very little variants because they've learned how to draft 1196 01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:48,040 Speaker 2: twenty seventh, twenty eighth, thirtieth. The Bengals have never figured 1197 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,760 Speaker 2: that out. So there's a couple of years up and 1198 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,519 Speaker 2: then there's a big dip, and then they restock with 1199 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,719 Speaker 2: the one or two drafts where they're they're near the top, 1200 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 2: and then they swing back up and it just it's 1201 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:07,680 Speaker 2: a constant, self fulfilling prophecy because they've never learned how 1202 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 2: to draft, even from the middle to the back. If 1203 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 2: it's not an elite pick, they've struggled. So I get it. 1204 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:22,639 Speaker 2: I completely get it, but I don't know what the 1205 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 2: answer is because you're not sitting Joe Burrow the final 1206 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,639 Speaker 2: five six games of a season when he's healthy. You're 1207 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 2: paying him over a quarter of a billion dollars. You're 1208 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:39,400 Speaker 2: not paying him that much money to not work if 1209 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 2: he can work. So you run him out there, you 1210 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 2: see how it goes, and more importantly, you find out 1211 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:54,479 Speaker 2: what exactly you have on defense. Is Osiah guy you 1212 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:58,799 Speaker 2: can bring back? Is Miles Murphy gonna start finally figuring 1213 01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,879 Speaker 2: it out as you hit on something with Cedric Johnson. 1214 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,840 Speaker 2: You need every snap you can for Night and Carter 1215 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 2: to try to figure this out. So I completely understand 1216 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:17,000 Speaker 2: what you're saying and the frustration of they don't do 1217 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:24,759 Speaker 2: well drafting, so why should I trust them with another 1218 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,719 Speaker 2: mid level draft pick, mid level mid mid mid pack 1219 01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 2: first round draft pick. Completely understandable. I get the angst, 1220 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 2: but I don't know what the alternative is because you're 1221 01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 2: not tanking with Joe Burrow healthy, and now you've got 1222 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,080 Speaker 2: five games left in the season. 1223 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,479 Speaker 4: Got it. That is it? 1224 01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,040 Speaker 2: All right? We did all right? Did all right? That 1225 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 2: wasn't a full talkback array, but it wasn't bad.

Can we get one from another station? 1228 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,400 Speaker 2: Can you pull up one from another station and just 1229 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:07,479 Speaker 2: and just see what it's like. 1230 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 4: I'm afraid too, honestly. 1231 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 3: Okay, I've heard some just for fun, and they're not 1232 01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 3: nice over there? 1233 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 2: You want to you want to screen one while we're 1234 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 2: at break and maybe we'll play it when we come back. 1235 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 4: I knew that. 1236 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 2: Okay, let's take a break.

There was a brawl in the Egg Bowl. 1423 01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:48,639 Speaker 2: Ole Miss up twenty one to ten on Mississippi State, 1424 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:53,720 Speaker 2: So Ole Miss about to put themselves in position to 1425 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 2: be in the college football playoff, maybe without a head coach. 1426 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,400 Speaker 2: There seems to be some minimum building towards LSU and 1427 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin. Florida seems to maybe be falling back in 1428 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:15,040 Speaker 2: that sweepstakes as it's currently constructed, So tomorrow might be 1429 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:19,640 Speaker 2: action day on Lane Kiffin, whether he stays at Ole 1430 01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:24,000 Speaker 2: Miss or goes to LSU, which, boy, if you're LSU 1431 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:28,160 Speaker 2: and you fire Brian Kelly with fifty million dollars on 1432 01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:35,240 Speaker 2: his contract and you can't get Lane Kiffin, where do 1433 01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:44,920 Speaker 2: they go from there? And Utah in a little bit 1434 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 2: of trouble right now, Tarren, Utah trying to hang around. 1435 01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 2: They're at thirteen. They need some help. They're probably not 1436 01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 2: going to play in the Big twelve title game, but 1437 01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,800 Speaker 2: they're right there on the cusp at thirteen. They're not 1438 01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,599 Speaker 2: doing themselves any favors. They are midway through the third quarter. 1439 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 2: They're trailing fourteen to ten at Kansas, Kansas trying to 1440 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:18,839 Speaker 2: get Bowl eligible, Nebraska fall or losing. They're at halftime, 1441 01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 2: they're down twenty four to sixteen at Iowa, or they're 1442 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,040 Speaker 2: in Nebraska. Iowa's up twenty four to sixteen, second half, 1443 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:26,839 Speaker 2: just getting started. 1444 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,400 Speaker 3: I have a question if Dylan Royola really like all that. 1445 01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:36,559 Speaker 3: It's rumors he's probably going to transfer portal. He's okay, Oh, 1446 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,120 Speaker 3: he won't be like the number one prospect in the portal. 1447 01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:41,680 Speaker 2: I don't think I mean, I don't think so. I 1448 01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:45,920 Speaker 2: think he is. I think he's really good on this 1449 01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:48,800 Speaker 2: shortter intermediate stuff. I don't think he pushes the ball 1450 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:52,920 Speaker 2: down the field all that. Well, he's accurate, and if 1451 01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 2: you want a guy that's going to run like a 1452 01:33:55,400 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 2: quick offense, accurate, quick, get the ball out, you know, 1453 01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 2: long sustained drives, moving the chains, I think he's okay. 1454 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,639 Speaker 2: But if you're a top team, like if you're looking 1455 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 2: to go win a national championship, can you do that 1456 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,160 Speaker 2: without a guy that can push the ball down the field? 1457 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:14,760 Speaker 4: Probably not, I. 1458 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:19,800 Speaker 2: Don't think so. Later today, Georgia and Georgia Tech, and 1459 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 2: then the big one tonight Texas A and M Texas. 1460 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 2: That's seven thirty on ABC, and Arizona Arizona State also tonight, 1461 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:32,719 Speaker 2: two ranked teams.

I know it's in there somewhere, 1464 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,600 Speaker 2: But Zach Taylor got to be feeling at least a 1465 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 2: little bit better. When you're the head coach and you 1466 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:54,559 Speaker 2: can look out and Joe Burrow is now slinging the 1467 01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:58,880 Speaker 2: pill around for your team, it certainly makes you look 1468 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:03,120 Speaker 2: like a better coach.

And now we'll 1481 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 25: you know, take a couple of days here to get 1482 01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:39,720 Speaker 25: our legs back underneath us and get ready to go 1483 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 25: for Buffalo. 1484 01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:45,920 Speaker 5: What do you burned best yesterday? I just thought he 1485 01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:46,960 Speaker 5: played football. You know. 1486 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 25: That was just good to see and you could feel 1487 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 25: him get into a rhythm there especially, you know, some 1488 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 25: moments moments the first half and then second half, he 1489 01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:56,080 Speaker 25: just felt like he was really really on it and 1490 01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 25: just the moments where you saw him you know, kind 1491 01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:00,639 Speaker 25: of break contain. It was good protection and guys getting 1492 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 25: watched inside and he kind of extends to the right. 1493 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,400 Speaker 25: Made some big plays. One to Jamar, you know, that 1494 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,240 Speaker 25: got us the first down. That was kind of kind 1495 01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,040 Speaker 25: of a moment for me that I feel like I've 1496 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 25: seen from them so many times. And the Tanner touchdown, 1497 01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 25: you know when he bought time to the right and 1498 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 25: kind of put it in the only spot he could 1499 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,759 Speaker 25: possibly give it to him, you know, back shoulder. Tanner 1500 01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:20,280 Speaker 25: made a great catch, but really a throw. It was 1501 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,760 Speaker 25: about the only spot you could put it. So I 1502 01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:24,759 Speaker 25: just think, you know, he found a really good rhythm, 1503 01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 25: and it's good to check that box and play the 1504 01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,160 Speaker 25: game and now and get back to business. 1505 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 28: Forty Last year too, is really you can parallel of 1506 01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 28: how you staying in the process like he did. 1507 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,840 Speaker 16: Last year, and there's always hope that, yeah, if you 1508 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,640 Speaker 16: use those things from last year being kind of a lesser. 1509 01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:42,960 Speaker 11: Any time of morn. 1510 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:45,640 Speaker 25: I mean, we have been in this exact same situation, 1511 01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 25: not something we really planned to play into. We just 1512 01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:50,599 Speaker 25: truly have to take it one game at a time. 1513 01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:53,280 Speaker 25: But I think our guys understand, like they I've never 1514 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,920 Speaker 25: felt like I have to have to pick them up, 1515 01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,040 Speaker 25: like guys are straggling and not giving their best. I 1516 01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 25: haven't felt that for once, and and I think the 1517 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 25: proof is in the pudding right there. You know, when 1518 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:07,439 Speaker 25: you when you travel in a short week and get 1519 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:09,679 Speaker 25: the result that that the guys put on the field. 1520 01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:11,720 Speaker 25: I think that shows what these guys are made of. 1521 01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 25: And we have high expectations moving forward, and you just 1522 01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:16,639 Speaker 25: have to take a one game at a time. 1523 01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 3: Coach, I just wanted to have to solid tape and 1524 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,640 Speaker 3: how Baltimore played you and I just wanted to I 1525 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 3: thought that was maybe one of the best teams or 1526 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 3: offensive lines played along with. 1527 01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,040 Speaker 5: The Road in the division. I mean, it just seemed 1528 01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:30,080 Speaker 5: like a kind of. 1529 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,120 Speaker 25: Yeah, I think they've they've gained great chemistry, you know, 1530 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:41,360 Speaker 25: particularly over the last several several games, they've protected well, 1531 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:45,160 Speaker 25: you know, the one sack we had was really as 1532 01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:49,160 Speaker 25: much as anything, it was a corner blitz that was, 1533 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 25: you know, formationally for me, part of the problem hard 1534 01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 25: to see. So you know, really they protected all games, didn't. 1535 01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 5: Go up a sack. 1536 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 25: In my mind, the team that's going to bring a 1537 01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:03,080 Speaker 25: lot of different looks and so there was a lot 1538 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:04,840 Speaker 25: of problem solving that had to take place there on 1539 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:07,439 Speaker 25: some of those known passing situations that I thought our 1540 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,080 Speaker 25: coaches did a great job with the plan, the players 1541 01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:11,080 Speaker 25: understood the plan, they executed it, we got some big 1542 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,639 Speaker 25: plays out of it. But to your point, I think 1543 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,679 Speaker 25: the line has done some really good things for us. 1544 01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:20,559 Speaker 25: Some of those runs. You know that we're running the 1545 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:21,720 Speaker 25: ball at the end of the game. Everyone in the 1546 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,040 Speaker 25: world knows we're running, so it's it's pretty hairy in there, 1547 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,640 Speaker 25: tough looks, and they still found ways to create some 1548 01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:30,160 Speaker 25: movement and give us opportunities. And really proud of the 1549 01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:31,680 Speaker 25: way that those guys have stepped up for us. 1550 01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:33,599 Speaker 3: I mean, that might be one of the best format 1551 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 3: looking guys have ever had, really. 1552 01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,320 Speaker 25: I mean, I liked the one we had there in 1553 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,240 Speaker 25: twenty one, you know, finished with the samaj run. Yeah, 1554 01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 25: that was a good one too, So yeah, I'm not 1555 01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 25: gonna put it up there as the top one, but 1556 01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:48,400 Speaker 25: you know, those are tough situations where you gotta find 1557 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 25: yardage and and you know, they did a good job 1558 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 25: of that. 1559 01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,680 Speaker 10: They seemed like it was I mean, I know, you 1560 01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,280 Speaker 10: said the zero blitzed I guess on the most four 1561 01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:58,519 Speaker 10: three times on the coin. 1562 01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:01,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, said they didn't zoo blitz that for that, but 1563 01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 5: it seems like people, wow, that's more low red zone. 1564 01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:05,599 Speaker 25: You know, we weren't really in the low red zone 1565 01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 25: after that, So that's a little bit unique for him, 1566 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 25: not unique for them, but that's in the in the 1567 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,519 Speaker 25: low red. That's kind of what you have to expect 1568 01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,960 Speaker 25: from them, and it can be hairy. And we've obviously 1569 01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:17,240 Speaker 25: had issues in the past right there in that same spot, 1570 01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 25: same in zone, so we've always got to look to 1571 01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,439 Speaker 25: find ways to do a better job there. But you know, 1572 01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:25,960 Speaker 25: it's I thought the touchdown of Yoshi, you know, is 1573 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:28,600 Speaker 25: a pressure look that we talked about a lot, and 1574 01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 25: guys stepped up there and executed perfectly. Smag you did 1575 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,120 Speaker 25: a great job skinning across. Joe sat there with excellent 1576 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,559 Speaker 25: poise and saw the coverage and made the throw to Yoshi. 1577 01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 15: A lot of big plays by the defense obviously, Well 1578 01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:41,879 Speaker 15: you go back and watch the film. 1579 01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,360 Speaker 5: The players were in battle many that knocked the ball. 1580 01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:46,920 Speaker 15: Where does that kind of stack up with all those 1581 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,080 Speaker 15: players in that game based on Yeah, I'm a game, 1582 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:50,439 Speaker 15: they would have been fourteen three if they. 1583 01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:53,679 Speaker 25: Got down there and then just again and it's huge, 1584 01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 25: that's huge, and it's just you know, that's that's tremendous 1585 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,439 Speaker 25: effort by by Jeordan on that play and just to 1586 01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:03,599 Speaker 25: not give up. And well, I think there was three 1587 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,680 Speaker 25: guys almost involved there. I know GD was one of them. 1588 01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:08,360 Speaker 25: If I remember correctly, of all trying to get in 1589 01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,120 Speaker 25: there and slow him down and give an opportunity knock 1590 01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,799 Speaker 25: the ball out, and those plays we show every Friday, 1591 01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:17,000 Speaker 25: you know, we show our defense finishing those plays, usually 1592 01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 25: with possession of the ball like like Gino had last 1593 01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 25: week through the end zone and scoring and and showing 1594 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,519 Speaker 25: how devastating that can be if that happens to you. 1595 01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:28,479 Speaker 25: So that's not happened to you, and our guys kind 1596 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:30,120 Speaker 25: of buying into that and making sure they can find 1597 01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,280 Speaker 25: a different way to experience that moment where we knocked 1598 01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:35,439 Speaker 25: the ball out instead of scoring. And so I uh, 1599 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,120 Speaker 25: that was a huge play, huge momentum change. You're right, 1600 01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,360 Speaker 25: the game could maybe go in a different direction if 1601 01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:43,080 Speaker 25: they had that momentum at home, and so that was 1602 01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,599 Speaker 25: that's a big play for us. 1603 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,960 Speaker 15: I say, Kimber, which was the Thursday night game in 1604 01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:52,519 Speaker 15: nineteen seventeen game you guys had the down at the 1605 01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 15: goal line, you got ripped up the red zone plan 1606 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,519 Speaker 15: after that that was earlier, I think it was a 1607 01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:01,040 Speaker 15: week five. But anything off of the red well this 1608 01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:04,080 Speaker 15: in this game that you think could lead to taking 1609 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:05,360 Speaker 15: a different look and maybe we guys. 1610 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,599 Speaker 25: Do know they're always tough, they're they're they're always present, 1611 01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:12,439 Speaker 25: difficult down there. And we scoured the tape and and 1612 01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,280 Speaker 25: come up with what we are planing we really like 1613 01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 25: and it's just difficult, you know. And and so it 1614 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,760 Speaker 25: didn't come our away on that one. And we'll keep 1615 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,720 Speaker 25: working to to be good in the We've been really 1616 01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,280 Speaker 25: good in the low reds on this year, really good. 1617 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,400 Speaker 25: And so we're not going to change anything from what 1618 01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 25: we're doing. But obviously, you know, I was talking game 1619 01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,920 Speaker 25: the game. Different defenses present different challenges, and they got 1620 01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,400 Speaker 25: us on that series, and and uh, you know, two 1621 01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:37,000 Speaker 25: weeks from now, we'll play them again and give another 1622 01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:40,240 Speaker 25: opportunity with the night like the defense had yesterday. 1623 01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,519 Speaker 15: And then you know, closing the game out like you did, 1624 01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:45,599 Speaker 15: you know in the games that you lost to talk 1625 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 15: about just finding a way to close the game out, 1626 01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:49,120 Speaker 15: just get a win. 1627 01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:54,760 Speaker 2: How much can that move me to build. 1628 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 9: Off of a night like that as you guys try 1629 01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,280 Speaker 9: to stack these wins onto the rest. 1630 01:41:59,160 --> 01:41:59,439 Speaker 13: Of the year. 1631 01:41:59,680 --> 01:41:59,880 Speaker 11: It can. 1632 01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 5: Obviously, we're gonna have to put the work in. 1633 01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 25: We haven't played Buffalo, it feels like in a while, 1634 01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 25: so there's a lot of work that guys are gonna 1635 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:09,839 Speaker 25: have to buy into next week. But I thought finishing 1636 01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,559 Speaker 25: the game on something that we've just been preaching since 1637 01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 25: Al walked in the door here, you know, forcing these fumbles, 1638 01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,720 Speaker 25: and so for JD and DJ to finish the game 1639 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 25: the way they did on defense this series, before their 1640 01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,479 Speaker 25: final three plays or whatever it was, I thought it 1641 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:26,680 Speaker 25: was just a big moment for us. It's something we've 1642 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,640 Speaker 25: been preaching, We've been working like crazy. We've said it's 1643 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:30,840 Speaker 25: gonna come. You just never know when that damn's gonna break. 1644 01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 25: And so to finish the turnover day like that with 1645 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,080 Speaker 25: the guy punching the ball out, ripping the ball out, 1646 01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,439 Speaker 25: DJ picking it up, I thought that was a big 1647 01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 25: moment for us that we got to capitalize on. The 1648 01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,360 Speaker 25: guys have now seen it. Okay, this this stuff's paying 1649 01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:46,240 Speaker 25: off for us, and it's fun when it happens and 1650 01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 25: it can change the games, and they've been buying in, 1651 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:51,600 Speaker 25: but now to see the payoff I think gives a 1652 01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:54,400 Speaker 25: lot of confidence to them and our team moving forward. 1653 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,599 Speaker 2: There you go, Zach Taylor from from just a little 1654 01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:03,160 Speaker 2: bit ago down at a pay course stadium as the 1655 01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:07,280 Speaker 2: Bengals will enjoy a couple of days off before getting 1656 01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 2: back at it in preparation for Buffalo. He didn't. He 1657 01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:14,000 Speaker 2: brought up something that I forgot to mention. The throaty 1658 01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:20,559 Speaker 2: Yoshivash doesn't happen if samaj Pteran doesn't sell uh sell 1659 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:24,759 Speaker 2: out to to get a hand on get a body 1660 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:29,799 Speaker 2: on a blitzer from the from the blind side. That's winning. 1661 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,880 Speaker 2: That's the toughness plays. You know a guy that it 1662 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:38,120 Speaker 2: looked like he was going to get past him and 1663 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,679 Speaker 2: he was going to have a free path at Burrow 1664 01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:45,880 Speaker 2: and p Ran just lunged back into the picture and 1665 01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:52,840 Speaker 2: gets enough on him to send his momentum past the quarterback. 1666 01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 2: Joe stepped up, fired a deep bomb and had a 1667 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,960 Speaker 2: perfect throw. And you don't get a perfect throw then 1668 01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:04,559 Speaker 2: if the pressure gets home. So one of those winning plays. 1669 01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,720 Speaker 2: We talk about winning plays a lot, and it's not 1670 01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:12,120 Speaker 2: always just the throw in the catch. It's the stuff 1671 01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:16,680 Speaker 2: that makes the throw in the catch possible. Just take 1672 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:22,120 Speaker 2: a break, I will. I'll get into some Bearcats goodness 1673 01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,280 Speaker 2: coming up next. Phone lines are open through the hour. 1674 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:30,559 Speaker 2: We are guest free all day on Football Frenzy Friday 1675 01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 2: right here on SUNCY three sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty. 1676 01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:42,920 Speaker 4: You know, yeah, keep it's got a lot of power. 1677 01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:45,080 Speaker 2: It makes me feel like. 1678 01:44:46,760 --> 01:44:57,520 Speaker 4: It makes me feel like, Okay. 1679 01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:56,400 Speaker 2: I have had a chance to listen to some of 1680 01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:03,439 Speaker 2: that Daylights haaren Oh buddy, I mean it's up there 1681 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:10,799 Speaker 2: in the day Law discography, so good. 1682 01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:13,120 Speaker 4: Next time you'll happen I have a rotation. 1683 01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:24,000 Speaker 2: You're doing some editing, yes, uh, the one with black thought, 1684 01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:25,519 Speaker 2: which we can't.

So it's that one you're 1692 01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:45,559 Speaker 2: not I don't think you're gonna be able to clean 1693 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,720 Speaker 2: that one up, but you know what needs cleaned up 1694 01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 2: arn the offense for Wes Miller's Cincinnati Bearcats. We are 1695 01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 2: seven games in, so I don't don't like to freak out, like, 1696 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:05,760 Speaker 2: you know, three four games in and you know you 1697 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,519 Speaker 2: have a bad couple games and the numbers are are 1698 01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:15,000 Speaker 2: disproportionately bad. We're seven games in on a thirty one 1699 01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:19,479 Speaker 2: game season, like you're starting to get a pretty clear picture. 1700 01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:27,040 Speaker 2: It's like twenty percent of the season. Maybe a little 1701 01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:30,120 Speaker 2: less than that, but like you're getting to a point 1702 01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 2: where the picture is starting to get a little more clear. 1703 01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,599 Speaker 2: Cincinnati on Ken Palms two hundred and fourteen on offense, 1704 01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:48,439 Speaker 2: and that's weighted with stuff like numbers fixed in from 1705 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:53,840 Speaker 2: last year still in the formula. If you go to 1706 01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:57,840 Speaker 2: bart Torvik, which is another really good analytics site, they 1707 01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,800 Speaker 2: take the weights out, so it's just on what you 1708 01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:09,160 Speaker 2: have done in this season. They're in the three hundreds 1709 01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 2: on offense through seven games. It wasn't that there was 1710 01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:24,040 Speaker 2: supposed to be a bigger focus on offense, a focus 1711 01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:30,960 Speaker 2: on scoring and running good offense and putting guys in 1712 01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:35,400 Speaker 2: position to make shots. And they're in the three hundreds. 1713 01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:41,640 Speaker 2: They just lost a game to Eastern Michigan where they 1714 01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:52,479 Speaker 2: scored fifty six points, and it wasn't like, here's the 1715 01:47:52,479 --> 01:48:00,559 Speaker 2: biggest problem with that game. Normally, and look, especially in 1716 01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:06,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, there are going to be some nights 1717 01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:08,679 Speaker 2: where you've got a new team and you just don't 1718 01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:14,040 Speaker 2: play well and they're struggling to have any connectivity and 1719 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,880 Speaker 2: shots aren't falling, and the other team plays great and 1720 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:24,639 Speaker 2: you lose. That happens. That wasn't the case on Wednesday night. 1721 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:32,599 Speaker 2: Just wasn't the case. Eastern Michigan was seven of twenty 1722 01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:36,800 Speaker 2: one from three thirty three percent. Like that's okay, But 1723 01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,799 Speaker 2: it wasn't. Like they played a team that hit fifty 1724 01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:43,320 Speaker 2: plus percent of their threes and just went crazy scoring 1725 01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 2: three points at a time, and they made twelve, thirteen, 1726 01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:48,720 Speaker 2: fourteen threes and it was just too much for you 1727 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:58,400 Speaker 2: to overcome. They won the rebounding battle. Cincinnati's defense, which 1728 01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:04,720 Speaker 2: is supposed to be Look, Bobba Miller's out, Jalen Celestine's out. 1729 01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:09,280 Speaker 2: We know Jalen Haynes is out and has been out. 1730 01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:16,320 Speaker 2: So you're dealing with some injuries, but some injuries at 1731 01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:25,400 Speaker 2: one position should not torpedo any chance of success. In comparison, 1732 01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:31,400 Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan shot fifty two percent from two. Cincinnati shot 1733 01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 2: forty four percent from two. Eastern Michigan shot thirty three 1734 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,400 Speaker 2: percent from three. Cincinnati shot twenty four percent from three. 1735 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,000 Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan was better at the free throw line nineteen 1736 01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:48,240 Speaker 2: of twenty two to eleven of fourteen. They out rebounded Cincinnati. 1737 01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:53,720 Speaker 2: Cincinnati only had one more assist. Eastern Michigan turned the 1738 01:49:53,800 --> 01:50:03,600 Speaker 2: ball over seventeen times, seventeen times, twenty five percent of 1739 01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 2: their possessions. Eastern Michigan turned it over, and they still 1740 01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:20,479 Speaker 2: never trailed. Cincinnati never led by a point, and actually 1741 01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't think the game was tied outside of zero 1742 01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 2: to zero because Eastern Michigan scored first. It was ten 1743 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:33,040 Speaker 2: to nine at one point, and then Eastern Michigan went 1744 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:39,040 Speaker 2: on a seventeen to one run to go up twenty 1745 01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:44,800 Speaker 2: seven to ten in the first half. They had a 1746 01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 2: big lead at halftime, twenty one to ten or wait, 1747 01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,240 Speaker 2: thirty six to twenty three. Sorry, thirteen point lead at halftime, 1748 01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:58,360 Speaker 2: and then Cincinnati, knowing that they had to come out 1749 01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:02,960 Speaker 2: and really turn it up, down thirteen to start the 1750 01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:06,439 Speaker 2: second half, scored four points in the opening segment. The 1751 01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:08,960 Speaker 2: first ten minutes of the second half, Cincinnati scored six. 1752 01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,360 Speaker 2: They turned it on over the final ten minutes finally 1753 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,559 Speaker 2: and scored twenty seven points. But they scored ten points, 1754 01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:20,519 Speaker 2: thirteen points, and six points through their opening thirty minutes 1755 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,280 Speaker 2: of that game. It broken down in ten minute segments 1756 01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:31,320 Speaker 2: and if Wes Miller is going. They have to get 1757 01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,519 Speaker 2: this team in the tournament. It's his fifth year here, 1758 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:38,720 Speaker 2: it's his third year in the Big Twelve. They went 1759 01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:45,160 Speaker 2: the way of complete roster overhaul. They've got some talented pieces. 1760 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:48,679 Speaker 2: You've got one of the better front courts and Baba 1761 01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:55,479 Speaker 2: Miller and Mustapha Cham in the league. And you let 1762 01:51:55,520 --> 01:52:02,040 Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan, who after the win, saw a significant bump 1763 01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,720 Speaker 2: in their Ken Pom. They were in the like the 1764 01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:09,439 Speaker 2: mid two hundreds, two fifty something to two sixty something. 1765 01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:14,200 Speaker 2: They're not one ninety seven. Cincinnati was in the upper forties, 1766 01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:17,519 Speaker 2: like forty three. I think now they're seventy one in 1767 01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:23,960 Speaker 2: ken Pom because their offense is two one hundred and fourteenth. 1768 01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:30,040 Speaker 2: They're sixth in ken Pom on defense, sixth two hundred 1769 01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:36,559 Speaker 2: and fourteen on offense. But all of that aside. Here's 1770 01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 2: I think the biggest problem for this fan base is 1771 01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:45,160 Speaker 2: that this is now. I don't think this was an 1772 01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,840 Speaker 2: issue the first three years. I thought Wes Miller's teams 1773 01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:49,720 Speaker 2: that the last two years in the American the first 1774 01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:52,440 Speaker 2: year in the Big Twelve, I thought they played really hard. 1775 01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 2: They might not have had the talent, they might not 1776 01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:01,760 Speaker 2: have been good enough on offense, but Cincinnati fans will 1777 01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:07,439 Speaker 2: cut you some slack if your teams play really hard. 1778 01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:11,360 Speaker 2: Last year's team did not play hard. It's one of 1779 01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:14,439 Speaker 2: the main things we talked about all season. Team does 1780 01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:21,559 Speaker 2: not play inspiring basketball. It's not a fun brand of 1781 01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:27,200 Speaker 2: basketball to watch. Guess what. You go back to New 1782 01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:31,840 Speaker 2: Jersey in jit New Jersey Institute of Technology on Monday. 1783 01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:34,519 Speaker 2: They came out of that game in that game flat 1784 01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:38,200 Speaker 2: and they were just significantly more talented in that game, 1785 01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:41,679 Speaker 2: and they were able to pull away. But the signs 1786 01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:50,320 Speaker 2: were there. Unfortunately, the frustrating part is what we saw 1787 01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:54,840 Speaker 2: against Louisville, a team that looked like it played really hard, 1788 01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:58,679 Speaker 2: a team that looked like it really cared. Louisville was better, 1789 01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:04,280 Speaker 2: but Cincinnati lost by ten in a back and forth 1790 01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:10,080 Speaker 2: game to a top ten team. Okay, you've got my attention. 1791 01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,240 Speaker 2: But then they don't play well for the first twelve 1792 01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:21,280 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes against NJI. Kudos to them for turning it around, 1793 01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:27,080 Speaker 2: but they again didn't flip the switch early against Eastern Michigan, 1794 01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,439 Speaker 2: and Eastern Michigan put a seventeen to one run on 1795 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:36,200 Speaker 2: them and Cincinnati could never get back to where they 1796 01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:39,120 Speaker 2: need to be. They never could get back to taking 1797 01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:52,000 Speaker 2: control of the game. It's poor offensive numbers. They're two 1798 01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,880 Speaker 2: to h nine in effective field goal percentage, they're two 1799 01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:58,720 Speaker 2: forty five in turnover percentage, they're two seventy four in 1800 01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:05,400 Speaker 2: offensive rebound rate, two seventy four and three point percentage made, 1801 01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:15,680 Speaker 2: three point twenty one in free throw percentage made. It's 1802 01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:19,440 Speaker 2: not good enough. And some of it is as simple 1803 01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:23,160 Speaker 2: as effort. Some of it is as simple as your 1804 01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:26,240 Speaker 2: guys are going out there against these by teams and 1805 01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:33,440 Speaker 2: just expecting to roll the ball out and win. Guess what, 1806 01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:37,920 Speaker 2: those guys have scholarship players too, And more often than not, 1807 01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:41,040 Speaker 2: you're you're gonna be able to play poorly and still 1808 01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:45,440 Speaker 2: win those games. But every once in a while you 1809 01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:47,760 Speaker 2: can't figure it out, you can't get up off the mat, 1810 01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:52,560 Speaker 2: and you lose. And now you've got the Crosstown shoot 1811 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:56,440 Speaker 2: Out a week away. You've got Georgia, You've got Cleansing 1812 01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:03,520 Speaker 2: Xavier eighty nine, and Ken Pom Cincinnati seventy one. For 1813 01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:09,560 Speaker 2: the first time since these teams were constructed, Ken Palm 1814 01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:11,840 Speaker 2: has this as a loss for Cincinnati. They have Xavier 1815 01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:18,040 Speaker 2: seventy three, Cincinnati seventy one. Given where these two teams started, 1816 01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:24,640 Speaker 2: Cincinnati can't win that game Friday, the heat is going 1817 01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:31,480 Speaker 2: to get smoldering on West Miller's seat. Then you got 1818 01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,240 Speaker 2: a week off, You go to Atlanta, you play Georgia. 1819 01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:38,000 Speaker 2: You're predicted to lose that game eighty to seventy three. 1820 01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:42,040 Speaker 2: And then the following week you've got Clemson in Greenville. 1821 01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:45,000 Speaker 2: You're predicted to lose that game seventy four to sixty seven. 1822 01:56:45,240 --> 01:56:47,520 Speaker 2: You have a twenty eight percent chance to be Georgia, 1823 01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:51,840 Speaker 2: a twenty six percent chance to be Clemson. If you 1824 01:56:51,920 --> 01:57:02,280 Speaker 2: lose those three games, there's a potential that you're sitting 1825 01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:06,560 Speaker 2: at what eight and five going into the Big twelve. 1826 01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,920 Speaker 2: That's if you don't lose another by game, and the 1827 01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:19,120 Speaker 2: first game on deck January third is Houston. It is 1828 01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:23,720 Speaker 2: not at a point where it's too late for this 1829 01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:27,080 Speaker 2: team to figure it out. But what's the old saying, 1830 01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:31,320 Speaker 2: it's getting late early. It's getting late early for this group. 1831 01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:36,840 Speaker 2: They have a very short time to figure it out 1832 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 2: or it's going to be a long winter at the 1833 01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:43,280 Speaker 2: Third Arena. Just take a break more after this. Since 1834 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,840 Speaker 2: any's ESPN fifteen thirty, this is since e thirty to sixty, 1835 01:57:45,880 --> 01:57:48,800 Speaker 2: a service of Penn Station GAML he in. 1836 01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:52,000 Speaker 7: The Natty, brought to you in part by Postman Law 1837 01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:57,000 Speaker 7: and Vice Skyline Chile on ESPN fifteen thirty to the 1838 01:57:57,080 --> 01:57:59,480 Speaker 7: official home of the Cincinnati Bengals. 1839 01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,160 Speaker 2: All Right, we are short on time, so I got 1840 01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:09,600 Speaker 2: a couple of minutes here. Let's let's go to the phones. 1841 01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:11,480 Speaker 2: We'll get to Dave and reading. 1842 01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:11,760 Speaker 8: Dave. 1843 01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:15,680 Speaker 2: What's going on, Hey, Jed, how's it going? 1844 01:58:16,320 --> 01:58:19,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, pretty good? I guess great, great up there last night. Uh, 1845 01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:21,480 Speaker 13: I just want to say, I'm a huge Bengal fan, 1846 01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,640 Speaker 13: and you see, especially basketball fan, but I like the 1847 01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:29,360 Speaker 13: football program too. I was just furious Wednesday night should 1848 01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:33,240 Speaker 13: be I I'll be honest with you. I didn't listen 1849 01:58:33,280 --> 01:58:36,040 Speaker 13: to the game because I wanted to hear the Roundtable 1850 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,480 Speaker 13: rock the end of Lance and turned it off at 1851 01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,120 Speaker 13: the end. I thought they were maybe like winning by 1852 01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:44,400 Speaker 13: five or somebody told about a tone. But uh, first 1853 01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:47,280 Speaker 13: I want to go on records saying I love coach 1854 01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:51,200 Speaker 13: Miller's passion and uh, and then in his dedication, I 1855 01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,680 Speaker 13: think that's his whole life. He's just so dedicated game. 1856 01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:57,840 Speaker 13: But that being a side I've gone to records saying, 1857 01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:59,880 Speaker 13: I've got a lot of golf for it. But I 1858 01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:02,480 Speaker 13: just I just don't think he's a good bench coach. 1859 01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:07,720 Speaker 13: And I I already met coach Brannon twice, don't really 1860 01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:10,440 Speaker 13: you know, know him well. But I just thought he 1861 01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:13,360 Speaker 13: got a roll deal here. I thought he was a 1862 01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:15,480 Speaker 13: very good best coach and we had some stinkers. There 1863 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:18,480 Speaker 13: were some stinkers when he was coaching there Kylie last night. 1864 01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:20,640 Speaker 13: But it just always seemed to me when it was 1865 01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,960 Speaker 13: a close game, you see, he was always pulling it out. 1866 01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:25,840 Speaker 13: I was always listening to radio because back then it 1867 01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:28,000 Speaker 13: was never on TV like a lot of times now, 1868 01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:31,000 Speaker 13: and uh, it's just always somebody pulled it out. And 1869 01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,360 Speaker 13: it don't seem that way with me. But I was 1870 01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:37,480 Speaker 13: okay with for one thing. I said, Well, I thought 1871 01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:39,160 Speaker 13: he was gonna be a lot better recruiter, and I 1872 01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,640 Speaker 13: think he probably would have been better than coach Brannon. 1873 01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,000 Speaker 13: But it's not working. Chad. I just want to know 1874 01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:48,280 Speaker 13: your closest situation, what's your feelings on U on this? 1875 01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:49,720 Speaker 11: And before before you. 1876 01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:51,520 Speaker 13: Answer, do you want to say one thing you just 1877 01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:56,000 Speaker 13: sitting for about the Bengals. It is true about about 1878 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,640 Speaker 13: the black pier I made. It was saying it was great, 1879 01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:02,000 Speaker 13: just the a chip he made, but Joseph of a 1880 02:00:02,080 --> 02:00:03,120 Speaker 13: pocket just off. 1881 02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:05,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, he wouldn't have been able to step up in 1882 02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:09,040 Speaker 2: the pocket if he Eryan didn't get the chick. Yeah. 1883 02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:12,920 Speaker 2: I mean that that's a winning play. The problem is, 1884 02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:16,280 Speaker 2: you see, doesn't make enough winning plays like they look. 1885 02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:20,960 Speaker 2: I've known John Brandon since nineteen ninety five. We went 1886 02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:24,360 Speaker 2: to college together. I've known John forever. It just didn't 1887 02:00:24,360 --> 02:00:27,240 Speaker 2: work here, and for a lot of reasons, COVID and 1888 02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:30,320 Speaker 2: he had some stuff going on in his personal life 1889 02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:33,120 Speaker 2: and there was kind of a disconnect that they never 1890 02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:36,800 Speaker 2: really were able to overcome. That's in the past. It 1891 02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:38,680 Speaker 2: is what it is. It's in the past. It didn't 1892 02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:45,040 Speaker 2: work out right less, his teams don't play good enough offense, 1893 02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,320 Speaker 2: and the last two teams at least, what we've seen 1894 02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:54,040 Speaker 2: through seven games of this team is that their effort 1895 02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:59,400 Speaker 2: isn't there, not on a night to night consistent Cincinnati 1896 02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:04,040 Speaker 2: expectation like that's what this The foundation of this basketball 1897 02:01:04,080 --> 02:01:08,080 Speaker 2: program is playing hard, and his teams have not paid 1898 02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:09,440 Speaker 2: hard enough the past two years. 1899 02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:13,080 Speaker 13: They haven't They've never gotten They never get a top 1900 02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:16,960 Speaker 13: recruiting hut Tops. 1901 02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,160 Speaker 2: They always please hugs, got a lot of top recruits, 1902 02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:23,880 Speaker 2: but it seems still always played hard as hell. That 1903 02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:26,160 Speaker 2: was non effort, was non negotiable. 1904 02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:29,240 Speaker 11: Okay, let me ask you this real quick, Dave. 1905 02:01:29,120 --> 02:01:32,280 Speaker 2: I gotta go.

But it 1907 02:01:35,880 --> 02:01:39,200 Speaker 13: just seems like maybe he's afraid you. Coach Branton had 1908 02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:43,240 Speaker 13: trouble with guys jumping ship and stuff. With the way 1909 02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:46,400 Speaker 13: things are today with kids, maybe you can't be as 1910 02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:47,240 Speaker 13: hard on them as like. 1911 02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:51,120 Speaker 2: That's I mean, it's part of it, it's part of it. 1912 02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:53,960 Speaker 2: But look, tom Izzo still works like that.

She was worried 1947 02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:43,000 Speaker 11: because something didn't ship complete, and she was like, I 1948 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:47,840 Speaker 11: don't think that's the right amount. So she had questions, 1949 02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,760 Speaker 11: but she got through it. She got through it. 1950 02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:51,360 Speaker 2: There we go. 1951 02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:56,160 Speaker 11: But I must say, I guess if we're gonna hit 1952 02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:59,600 Speaker 11: on some stuff, still fire Zach Taylor, and I do 1953 02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:03,560 Speaker 11: hope after a win on Saturday. Yes, Fire, is that Taylor? 1954 02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:09,120 Speaker 11: He's a bum win. Yes, he's a bum like Austin Elmore. 1955 02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:13,120 Speaker 11: Like Austin Elmore, he continuously snatches the seat from the 1956 02:04:13,200 --> 02:04:17,040 Speaker 11: jobs of victory. Oh fight, a win, despight a win 1957 02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:19,600 Speaker 11: if you could not win and you had a quarterback 1958 02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,840 Speaker 11: putting up the numbers that you had without Joe Burrow, 1959 02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:25,320 Speaker 11: and you only win because Joe Burrow was there, and 1960 02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:28,080 Speaker 11: he got the team to rally around and hopefully maybe 1961 02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:30,880 Speaker 11: run off of all these other games. And because our 1962 02:04:30,880 --> 02:04:36,800 Speaker 11: team is so cheap, they will keep him around. I mean, hey, fire, Taylor, 1963 02:04:37,360 --> 02:04:39,760 Speaker 11: here are my other thing. Fire. You see his football 1964 02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:44,000 Speaker 11: coach hire Tony Pike, and hopefully that will do a 1965 02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,760 Speaker 11: whole lot of great. So actually, I don't even want 1966 02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:48,000 Speaker 11: to see you see his coach get fired. 1967 02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:48,560 Speaker 2: I want him to. 1968 02:04:48,520 --> 02:04:51,000 Speaker 11: Get another job. Just get him, get to get out 1969 02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,200 Speaker 11: of town, because he's doing what he's done every year. 1970 02:04:53,560 --> 02:04:55,680 Speaker 11: He wins a few games and he starts stinking it 1971 02:04:55,760 --> 02:04:57,040 Speaker 11: up towards the end of the season. 1972 02:04:57,280 --> 02:04:59,720 Speaker 2: Well, the problem has been teams have been at the 1973 02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:01,560 Speaker 2: end of the season and he hasn't proven he can 1974 02:05:01,560 --> 02:05:05,240 Speaker 2: beat the good teams. That part got to prove you 1975 02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:06,280 Speaker 2: can beat the good teams. 1976 02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:09,960 Speaker 11: What if he surplises and wins a game this week, 1977 02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:12,800 Speaker 11: team may possibly have somebody to be like, let's take 1978 02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:15,120 Speaker 11: a chance on his clown man, get him out of 1979 02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:18,200 Speaker 11: time to get piked in as coach. 1980 02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,080 Speaker 2: Appreciate you, mister Ace. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving, 1981 02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:26,880 Speaker 2: and uh have a good weekend as well, Tarn We 1982 02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,520 Speaker 2: did it.
