WEBVTT - Eddie & Jason Williams -- 10/17/25 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:05.960 All right, back on the Eddie and Rocky Show, Rock 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.680 Out Today. Jason Williams from The Inquire at Cincinnati dot 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:16.079 Com is with me here on a Friday, which makes 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:21.760 this a Friday kind of extra special because coming off 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:26.480 of a Bengals win that game last night, that was fun, 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.520 that's all that. Oh yeah, that was just. 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.480 A fun game to watch, and you know, really really 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.280 happy for Bengals fans. You know, you saw that very 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.920 game last year and you knew exactly how that game 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.440 was going to go. And for it to go the 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.320 other way finally this time, for them to win in 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.240 an outscoring of you know, outscoring the other team finally, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.320 I think that was pretty cool. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.120 Well, let's talk to our usual Friday guest around about 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.880 this time. It's our good friend Richard Skinner from Local 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:01.440 twelve and Skinny Ears talking there. And that was we 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.479 were talking to Jason Hoffman the other day and talking 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.920 about how one would be fun to see an old 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.520 fashioned shootout between these eighty plus years where the quarterbacks 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.119 out in the field, and that's when it turned out 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:15.319 to be. 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.480 I mean, they combined for seven touchdown passes and two interceptions, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.440 both by Aaron Rodgers, but the seven touchdown passes for 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.080 two four year old quarterbacks. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.080 Is just insane to think about. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.679 It's one thing to think about when you think that 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.440 Joe Flacco has only been here for nine days basically 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.400 between the time he got traded in that game, and 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.720 he's already played two games in the nine games span. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.160 I mean, two of the most interesting. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.759 Things last night, and I was down there for Zach 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.040 killer press conference today, was Joe mentioned, actually Zach mentioned 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.000 last night. Joe reiterated that there were times where Zach 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.200 would call in a play and they're so long, the 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.760 play calls are so long that Joe didn't completely understand it, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.600 and so there are times they lined up in correctly 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.480 and I and Joe said, he goes. I was so 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.760 grateful that Zach was patient and just let kind of 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.360 the play go because I kind of. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.360 Knew the concept. I knew where, you know, we needed 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.040 to go. I knew we didn't line up the way 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:11.920 we're supposed to line up. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.919 I had that danswered, I mean, you only have three 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.280 timeouts to burn, so you can't just keep going. You 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.160 lined up long time out. You line up long time out. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.239 And he laughed, and he said, you know, It's great 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.320 that Joe said he was patient or I was paid 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.520 with him because he was patient with me. Because they 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.840 said those play calls sometimes they just go so fast 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.880 and you just don't hear them, and so you're dealing 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.080 with that on top of all of that that, like, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.600 you know, the play calls one thing, and guys are 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.079 going the wrong way, line up the wrong lene. You just go, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:41.120 let's go, let's play. And it was wild to watch 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.760 how wide open Jamar Chase got on easy routes. It 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.839 was listen, man, I'm I'm an old guy. Man, I've 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.519 seen a lot of stuff in this league. Last night 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.040 was in the top five of wild. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.720 Yeah, yeah, I agree, And it was funny along those lines. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.639 Zach joked last night said, you know that that Joe's 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.520 you know, he has to he doesn't understand my my 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.320 Oklahoma accent, or he's taking a look like whatever. Justice jokingly, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.000 of course, but yeah, you're right, Like now that you 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.440 sit here the day after and the game gets over 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.720 so late and you're trying to process it, and it's 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.920 like holy cow. And then you're like the two old 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.840 guys and Jamar Chase with the record sixteen catches and 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.240 it's pretty incredible. I mean the fact that then and 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.760 then the the Bengals, you know, go down there and 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.200 the friar moveth has just got to haunt those guys, 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.880 you know, and Aaron Rodgers does what Aaron Rodgers does 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:44.200 at quintessential roll out, finds him down the field with 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.440 what two thirty one somewhere around and there, and you're 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.839 like yeah, and you're kind of like, here we go again. Yeah, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.600 that was it. That was the game right there. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:59.840 Yeah, you were yeah, seconds away from a no, you 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.920 were seconds or not sign. You are minutes away from 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.560 a soul snatching, season ending loss, right because there's no 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.120 way you rebound from that. You just don't. It's your 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.680 fifth in a row. You did everything on offense you 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.400 could literally possibly do. I mean, you got twenty three 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.920 targets to Jamar Chase and he caught sixteen of them. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.120 I mean, you did everything in your power and you're 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.400 minutes away from a soul snatching loss. And then two 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.920 completions of Javar and then a complettion up the sideline 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.560 with te Higgins who had the wherewithal And and knew it. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.680 They told him ahead of time to slide down so 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.839 they could eat up some clock. And then I guarantee 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.359 you everybody's holding their breath on the on the field goal. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.560 I mean, you got a you got an undrafted rookie 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.720 long snapper, a second year punter who dropped the snap 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.719 last year, and and you know, Evan nick Pherson. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.320 Hasn't made a clutch. This is no knock and you 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.200 just hasn't made a clutch field goal in a while. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:49.920 He's made a lot of them, but he hasn't made 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.919 one in a while. And so you're still even if 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.400 it's a thirty six yard you're like, eh, what could 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.279 possibly go in here? And when things are going haywire, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.960 you either lose it thirty one thirty because of the 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.359 friar routh touschdown and don't get your range, or you 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.000 lose it because there's something wacky on the field goal. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.120 And they won it. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.840 And man, I'm telling you, I was in the locker 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.240 room today and usually the day after game, like Mondays 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.039 are a ghost town. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.080 They come out of meetings and they snatch up their 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.480 stuff and they're gone. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:21.679 And today, man, they're dancing in there crazy. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.240 Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, man, the way that game 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.839 started also yeah, the Steelers passed. They were all over 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.400 flat though. It was like this is gonna be brutal. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.640 Then all of a sudden, I mean, what happened? Guys? 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.800 You tell me. Did the offensive line just stout up 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.640 or did the Steelers back down on the rush? What 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:44.320 happened there? 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.000 I mean, I will say this, I think I don't 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.080 have the exact number. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.120 It's either ninety eight or ninety nine. Let's just round 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.599 it to one hundred. Jill Flacco's had one hundred drop 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.159 backs from the last two games, and he's been sacked 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.440 three times. And that's the guy who's supposed to be 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.640 a statue, who is supposed. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.880 To not be able to move, and he doesn't move. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.039 I mean, made a nice run on the Reid option play, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.080 but he doesn't move, but he gets it out of 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.920 his hands so quickly. And I do think I do 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.760 think the offensive line's played good. Asked that today, I mean, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.000 if you found your two guards, and he was kind 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.480 of wish you washing, because I don't think he wants 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.440 to bury Dylan Fairchild, the rookie, and Lucas Patrick. But 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.839 Dalton Reiser was awful at right guard and the two 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.880 starts he made He's been great at left card the 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.320 two starts he's made. Dylan Rivers gave up a sack 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.400 last night, the rookie right guard, but for the most 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.320 part he keeps the sending. Marius Men's last night was great. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.520 Orlando Brown Junior hasn't played well the last few games, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.080 and suddenly he played well last night. And you know again, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.880 some of it is Flackel gets it out of his 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.800 hand fast. I think the game before the Packer game 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.960 when he got out of his hands in two point 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.120 five seconds or less, he was twenty one of twenty five. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.000 I don't have that metric from last night. I don't 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.480 know what that is. But he got out of his 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.520 hands so fast, like there was a touchdown to t Higgins, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.280 the one where te Carter out to twenty and then 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.640 race the last twenty yards into the end zone. If 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.479 you watch that play from behind, and I am bed 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.760 tweets in my game stories, I'm doing it. I embedded 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.800 a tweet of Joe the scene from behind the line 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.080 of screamage, Like with Joe Flacco's looking at he's through 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.960 that with such anticipation, like there's a defender, but he 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.520 knows where he's gonna go and he's gonna go behind 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.600 the defender in front of the other defender. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.240 And he puts in a perfect spot where he catches 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.680 it goes up the field. I mean a lot of 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.240 this is on Joe Flacco getting out of his hands quickly, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.800 So it's I don't even know what the sand that. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:34.440 It has been just. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.920 Remarkable to watch, especially the last six quarters of this offense, and. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.680 Even his unremarkable stuff was remarkable. I was trying to 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.120 squeeze this in my columns and say dot com, and 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.960 I couldn't figure out a way to get it in there. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.600 You know how that goes skinny when you're trying to 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:47.320 write something. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.880 Yeah, read right. Well no, no, not the read option. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:52.440 It was. 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.840 It was in midway through the third quarter. They're down 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:02.440 in the red zone there and he you know, Flacco's 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.360 under pressure on second, second goal and he drops back 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:07.000 under pressure. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.120 He just throws the ball out. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.240 Of the little way. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.200 Then on the next play, third and goal, he rolls 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.720 out right. No one's open. He's basically throws the ball 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.560 on the ground close enough to a receiver. They chip 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.920 shot field goal. They go up twenty to ten. They 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.000 don't waste that opportunity there to score and obviously in 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.040 a close game, and that was in the middle of 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:32.400 a where they had gone six straight drives where they 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.760 scored either touchdown or field goal. And I thought again 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.640 that that right there was part of why they brought 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.960 Joe Flacco here because Jake Brown, god God love him, 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.680 he would have tried to force something there. And we 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.439 all know when he was forcing stuff, the bad stuff 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.280 that was happening. But you know that doesn't jump out 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.720 at you and we're not really breaking that down and 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.000 you know, all over the place. But I thought those 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.880 two consecutive incompletions were really critical. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.440 No, that's a great that's a great point. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:04.840 I didn't say it in either, but I remember the 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.560 I remember the sequence like it was two minutes ago. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.400 And I think it's one of the reasons they don't 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.400 go get a Russell Wilson other than you know, some 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.680 of the locker room via stuff. But it's you know, 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.160 Russell still thinks he can create with his feet and 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.880 make plays and he just can't. At some point, you 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.240 just can't. Joe never did. Joe fucker never did. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.199 He never had. It's not been his DNA. It's been 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:29.160 fight for another down. Yep, and you know that the arms, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.320 the arm talent is still there, the anticipation is still there. 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:33.600 You can tell, man. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.720 He he wants so badly to make this work. Like 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.000 I can't remember the question last night Jason Prescower was 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.560 a long line of did you ever think you, you know, 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:42.839 two weeks ago, do you ever think you'd have a 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.720 chance to feel this again and start again? And he 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.880 kind of pauses, No, not really, And I think he's 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.440 relishing the fact that he's getting this opportunity and it's 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.040 it's just amazing. I said, that's somebody from the We 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.760 were kind of in a circle, you know, waiting for 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.640 some players in the locker room. I said, you know, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.079 if Joe Burrow comes back later this year, I mean 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:05.120 you could maybe potentially have two or co comeback Players 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.000 of the Year in the NFL this year. Joe Flaco 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.680 for coming back from what he came back from and 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.840 Joe Burrow for come back when he came back from 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:11.560 It's insane. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.520 Wow, you know what that's uh, Well, for one thing, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.400 I also wanted to touch on what you guys think 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.760 about and who doesn't love to see Mike Tomlin wine 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.719 about Flaco coming from the Browns to the to the Bengals, like, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:33.520 why would you do that? They're stupid? But also, what 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.480 happens at the end of the year. Let's say that Flaco, 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.240 that's say they win, how whatever, It's going to be 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.560 five games between now and when he potentially could come back, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.760 maybe six games something like that. Let's say he wins 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.600 four out of those six games? Do you bring back Burrow? 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.120 Kill Burrow's Joe Burrow? And if kill Burrow is one 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.640 hundred percent, it's Jill Burrow times one thousand. I'll use 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.079 an example. People in the audience will not know this, reffors. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:02.719 Some will, I'm so sorry I shouldn't say that way, 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.240 but most people won't. The nineteen seventy two Miami Dolphins, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.760 the finish undefeated. Bob Greasey, their quarterback, their starting quarterback, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.080 broke his ankle in game. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.880 Four or five. I came rich and an old vet 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.600 your name, Earl Morele, came in and Earl led him 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.800 to it, led him all the way to an undefeated season. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.760 And then Earl starts the first playoff game and did okay, 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.680 and they came back and won. Then in the second 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.400 playoff game, they're in Pittsburgh and Earl isn't playing so good, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.640 and they turned back to Bob Greasy and then Bob 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.440 Greasy at that point was healthy, led him to a win, 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.480 and then they started Bob Greasy and the super Bowl 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.800 and led him to win. Bob Greasy isn't even Joe Burrow. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.720 And Bob Greasey is a great player. I mean he 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.160 was one of the great quarterbacks of his generation. Joe 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.680 Burrow is too, and I think Joe Flacco understands that. Again, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.120 this is all things being equal with Joe Burrow coming 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.520 back one hundred percent, I mean, when he's one hundred 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.240 percent and you know he's one hundred percent, I mean, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.120 there's not even a debate. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.280 It's a good question, Eddy, because it was like should 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:57.560 you write the hot hand? 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.839 No, sorry, I'm right to Joe went back to that, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.600 uh the Tomlin and you know, I know it came 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.679 off as whiny, and I know this isn't necessarily a 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.880 local angle to this, but overall, when you look at 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.000 the AFC North, I mean, he makes a good point 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.679 and then you're kind of like, I mean, you, no, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.680 he's not wrong, and you know we were talking you 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.319 skinny sits a couple of seats away from me in 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.160 the press box. And you know, we were talking about 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.760 this last night, about what the heck were the Cleveland 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.000 Browns thinking about trading this guy? This guy is by 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.960 far was a you know, at least you think like 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:33.040 he's their best quarterback and uh, you know, I mean clearly, 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.320 well right, I mean, and they they have the defense 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.640 to keep him in and like, all right, if you'd 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.040 have kept flaccoh and he could have done this now, Joe, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:41.960 and Cleveland doesn't. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.839 They don't have a Jamar or t which is a 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:44.720 huge deal, but. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:46.520 Part of it. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:51.000 Yeah, all right, No, And to boath things real quick 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.320 on Tomlin, I mean, he's not wrong, and I think 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.280 he knew he was scared of Oh my gosh, I'm 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.320 gonna say, Shoe Flako won a big game. I mean 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.280 last night, made Mike Tomlin on the road in the 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.400 AFC North on Thursday night games and win seven. 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.760 You don't think he didn't know that in the back 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.320 of his mind. I'm O and six. I gotta play 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:04.680 this guy. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.720 And lastly, I mean to the Browns point, I think 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.199 the Browns just simply did an old pro a solid 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:10.800 and I. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:11.880 Know that's that's usually. 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:13.600 I agree with that. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.720 Like, you know, you came and bail us out in 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.800 twenty twenty three and you got us to the playoffs. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.520 We're terrible, and we know we're terrible, and let's go 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.400 with a youth movement. Let's let's let's see with the rookie. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.719 The two rookies have for us at quarterback, and they 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.400 did the guy a solid and on every. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:33.000 Acame and cost Oh yeah, exactly with the with that's skinny, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.360 we will let you go, buddy, Thanks so much, have 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.560 great week, go thanks our good friend to Richard Skinner. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.480 And with that we check in with traffic and weather. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.880 What is going on? Jayson Williams from The Inquirer since 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.520 ninety dot com is with me, Jase, want to salute 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.560 our citizen of the day here on the Indiant Rocky Show. 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.920 It's Mike from Joe's Piece Area in Dayton, my old uh, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.400 my old hometown. Mike a big listener of the show, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.280 So salute to Mike. Is it Dayton style pizza? 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:03.880 Yes? 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:10.200 Oh yeah, dude, for my money, that thin crust that's 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.000 real big yeah. I mean you can get it anywhere, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.440 but that called that's Detroit style. Or Dayton style, whatever 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.800 you want to call it. But yeah, nice thin crust, underrated, man, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.840 a lot of goop Dayton Dayton style pizza, underrated. I 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.880 like it. I'm with it me too, And cheers Mike. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.160 Uh so you were there last night, yes, sir? What 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:36.840 was the what was the vibe? It looked like I 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.200 told my wife right when the game started, when the 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:45.440 when the Steelers just drove, and the fact that Aaron 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.640 Rodgers could stand back in the pocket and dance around 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.120 for like, yeah, eight ten seconds. You ain't gonna win 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.640 a lot of games. I can't if you're that's your defense. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.160 But they it's mal pulled it out place Place was 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.680 really really subdued. I thought I thought it was going 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.960 to be. I thought it would be quite subdued after that, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.120 and then it felt like it was that way really 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.280 for the most part, all the way up until well, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.480 I mean until you know, Moneymack get the game winner there, 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.760 and even then you're just kind of like still eleven 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.240 second what it was it's eleven seconds? I think was 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.960 let like, oh, Aaron Rodgers are gonna hit one of 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:32.280 those hail aris. I legitimately think that that was probably 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.440 in the back of a lot of Bengals fans minds, 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.880 because this is exactly the game that has not gone 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.960 their way the last few seas well last season. You know, 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.040 that close game. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.360 That defense is not good and it's probably worse this 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.000 year than it was last year. And I know it 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.960 that's been a little overshadowed because of the quarterback stuff. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.920 But yeah, and then. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.040 But it was just really magical there that And it's 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.320 kind of an overused term, but for someone in there, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:05.840 I think it might have been Skinny in the press 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.400 box said or PDJ may have said it like Steelers 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.000 may have scored too fast there the way Flacco was going, 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.200 and sure enough they did. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.640 That's exactly what I thought, Yeah, like, maybe slow your 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.120 role here these guys. Uh, Flacco has been all up 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.800 your butt the whole game, and now all of a sudden, 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.000 you're gonna pull the trigger. My first reaction was, Okay, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.960 here's where the Steelers defense is going to show up, 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.440 and they're gonna you kept waiting for that, right, So 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.640 there's gonna be an influencer or they're gonna be in Uh, 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.560 you know, something's gonna happen in the interception of some nature. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:46.360 And then uh, and then that happened. But watching Flacco 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.600 run for whatever it was thirteen fourteen yards or whatever, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.720 I'm sitting there thinking, dude, you look like me running. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.560 But hey, there wasn't anybody within ten yards of them. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:02.200 I mean that entire stadium him. We were all fooled. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.679 Any you just can't help but chuckle. And that was 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.399 that was that was cool? What what? 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:07.480 What? 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.240 As as much as Zach Taylor takes a lot of 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.680 heat for the play calls, there were a couple of 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.480 moments last night, you were like number one, that was 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.040 a good play call. Number two there was a call 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.560 where I mean it was funny because he had challenged 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.639 the spot and that was one of those spots where like, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.400 I mean they literally I think it was like four 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.359 inches they needed to go. And you're like Zach is 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.560 so many times it feels like in the last few 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.439 years where it's like you try to get cute, you know, 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.560 and like last night, by golly, it was you know, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.679 there's Joe Flacco just you know, snuck it right up 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.920 the middle. I believe Chase came in almost like a 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.000 kind of a mini tush push didn't really need to 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.720 do it, but Chase Brown just kind of comes up, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.040 gives him the nudge, didn't need to and uh. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.639 First down. Hats off to Chase brow hell of a 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.560 game last night. I mean, it's great to see because, 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.600 like when you it's got to happen. 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:05.240 The way they run the ball allows Flacco, it only 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.679 helps them. And you know they didn't have that with 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.960 Jake Browning and you know that, Yeah, I'm not you know, 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.320 Jake Brownie had his issues, but there were some things 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:16.720 there that you know, he could have gotten some. 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.440 Help on with that. We check in with traffic and weather. 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.760 We got John Mattaree's coming up. But that's one of 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.520 the things I said to my wife last night, was like, 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.360 it's not a good night to beat to beat. Jake 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:33.200 Browning Show with Jason Williams from the Inquire Cincinnati dot 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.280 Com is with me and as we do about this 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.440 time every Friday, Jase, we talked to this fellow right here, 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:45.600 John Mattei's Channel nine. Don't Waste your money and Johnny, 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.040 we've been talking about the Bengals game. Obviously it's been 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.840 big topic of discussion. So what has happened to Bengals 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.760 ticket prices? As of I know about one o'clock this morning. 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:06.560 Yeah, guys, good afternoon. It is amazing what's happened with 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:10.600 Bengals ticket prices. You should have bottom oh about two 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.080 and a half weeks ago and the Boys were in 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.280 the middle of that four game Yid browning at the 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.919 quarterback and people were saying, it's another lost season. It 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.600 was looking like another Andy Dalton type of year. And 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.520 the ticket prices were actually dropping to about fifty bucks 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.359 just a week and a half ago. Two weeks ago, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.800
