He gets a lot of respect that way, 44 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: and so guys try to do a lot of things 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: to get his attention and get him off his game. 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: And I've always thought it was unbelievable Always handled himself 47 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: in some really high pressure emotional decisions. Obviously, what happened 48 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: just crossed my line. We can't have that, and I 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 3: know he'll own up to that. But beyond that, I've 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: always had up here and praise Jamar because he's he's 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: one of the best leaders we've got. The way he 52 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: goes about everything, he plays with the tumbel of emotion. 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: He plays with a ton of leadership. Our guys respond 54 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: to that, and I've always appreciated Always handled himself, and. 55 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 5: He has the reason. 56 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 7: I ask you, as you're really the only one you 57 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 7: have to talk to a new organization that can reflect 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 7: how the organization fels after a really unfortunate. 59 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 5: Ugly moment like yesterday, Yeah, how do you feel? How 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: do they feel? Well? 61 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 6: Again? 62 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: I just Jamar is one of my favorite Probably love 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: how this guy handles everything that he's been a part of. 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: So making one mistake doesn't doesn't disregard everything this guy's 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: done that's been positive for us, And so I think 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: that's what you're asking. I really don't know what you're asking. 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: But again, I can't say enough positive things about Jamar 68 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 3: and think about the amount of situations people have tried 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 3: to put him in and the way that he's always responded. 70 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: And we're not all perfect. We're going to make a 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: mistake here and there. But I stand by Jamar and 72 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: I know is an emotional situation. I know there's a 73 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: lot of things going on there that lead to things 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: like that, and and again we'll just continue to move 75 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: forward from the lead. 76 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 6: Now, I haven't I haven't heard anything. 77 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 5: Do you anticipate having Jamoar? 78 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 6: I'm not going to make any I have no idea. 79 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: Is it someone disappointing given how much he had met 80 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: out to be a captain this year and made a 81 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: lot of strides and how he kind of handled himself, 82 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: especially with us maybe on the field, and for him 83 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: to kind of have this said. 84 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: No, no again. People are allowed to make a mistake. 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 3: So that's all I'll say about it. 86 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 8: With cam out, did Josh step in as a starter 87 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 8: or do you look at your options there? 88 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll keep walking through what was our best fit 89 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: as we go through the week, hard to say it 90 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: on Monday, but we'll get through practice and see where 91 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 3: that lands. 92 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 9: Yes, this is a two part question, But how did 93 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 9: Joe's beat go in terms of comfort? 94 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 5: How did he tell you, guys he fell in? 95 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 9: Really your record play into your decision on if you 96 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 9: were only to let him play the rest of the season. 97 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: The starting point is he did seven on seven last week, 98 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: came out of the week feeling good, and so then 99 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 3: this week the plan will be let's get the Wednesday 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: and see if we can work in some eleven on 101 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: eleven and go from there. So I think before we 102 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 3: ever do that, there's no reason to have a discussion 103 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: on what the timeline is beyond that, because there's just 104 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: steps we got to follow. Seven on seven great did 105 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: an individual and now we continue with the rehab phase 106 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: next week, and that's eleven on eleven. 107 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 6: That's getting bodies around. 108 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: Him, seeing how he feels, seeing how he moves, And 109 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: so until we on any of that, there's no reason 110 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: for me to speculat and where it's. 111 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 5: Going to be record impacted at all or that. 112 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: No. 113 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: I think right now he's of the mindset that he 114 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: wants to play football for us, and so again it's 115 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 3: we'll just continue to get through his rehab progression and 116 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: see where that ends up before we make any decision 117 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: on how we want to pursue. 118 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 5: And he does get through that, and since he wants. 119 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 6: To play it, I'll just wait to see. 120 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: I'll wait to see how we get through the rehab 121 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: progression first before I answer those questions. 122 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 6: I appreciate the effort. 123 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 5: Though, isn't the same over try as well? Injury wise? 124 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 5: Is it is it just health or is it based 125 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 5: on record to a certain degree as. 126 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 6: Well, it's it's him feeling healthy, you know. 127 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 4: Reflected on kind of what didn't go like for y'all 128 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 4: enough yesterday, what's the biggest seat that jumps out? 129 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 6: Well, that was always going to be a really grimmy game. 130 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: That's when you when you go on the road in 131 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: the division versus difficult opponent with the conditions. It shouldn't 132 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: surprise anybody when the score is thirteen to nine, you know, 133 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: late in the third quarter with us having a chance 134 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: to drive it. So then the two turnovers that led 135 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: to point changes the whole narrative of the game. So 136 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: probably realistically that game, we if we possessed the ball 137 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: and don't have any turnovers and the turn about zero zero. 138 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: It's probably very similar to the Week eighteen game last 139 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: year when we were up there eighteen to sixteen or 140 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: whatever it is with the team with the ball with 141 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: a chance to win at the end. But when you 142 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: lose the turno battle two to nothing and that leads 143 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 3: directly to fourteen points, then that's the way that the 144 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: game ends like that, and we didn't give ourselves a 145 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: great chance to finish that the way we wanted to. 146 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 5: Oay, but it's probably gonna be it for him, Yes, surgery. 147 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 5: He's not for the year right. 148 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 6: I don't have that information yet. 149 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 5: I don't know, but if he did, that would probably be. 150 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 6: I don't know. I shouldn't speculate. 151 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: I have very limited information of wrapped up all this 152 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: with the team briefly met with the trainers. All the 153 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 3: information I had is there's a very likely chance of surgery. 154 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 6: That's all I know. 155 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: How do you feel like he obviously had some ups 156 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: and downs this year? How do you feel like he 157 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 4: How would. 158 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 5: You sell him up? His year to date? 159 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 6: Alsome up what it was? Most recently? 160 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: I thought he came out and competing for us recently, 161 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: you know, after going through a lot of adversity. I 162 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: thought his response was the right one. He went out 163 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 3: there and competed and physical and did everything we asked 164 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 3: and had a great attitude and brought energy to the group. 165 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: And so it's unfortunate that, you know, we had the 166 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: injury we dealt with yesterday, because as you guys know, 167 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: cam caames a likable guy. 168 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 6: He's energetic. You want to pull for him. 169 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: So I was happy to see him rebound off some 170 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: adversity and the struggles that he had earlier in the 171 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: year to come back and play the way that we 172 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: expected him to play. 173 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 6: That was good to see. And it's unfortunate. Word it 174 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 6: stands now. 175 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 5: We talked a lot about tackling in here this year. 176 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 6: How concerned you. 177 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 8: When you watch yesterday's tape and some of the effort 178 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 8: in some of the tackles and some of the that 179 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 8: aspect of it beyond anything. 180 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: Else, Yeah, I do, I understand. Some of it looks 181 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: looks bad. You can't run from that. And the hard 182 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: part was there were some situations we were great on 183 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: first and second down. We got him into the situations 184 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 3: we wanted, you know, second, long, third and long, and 185 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: then you just got to get a guy down in space, 186 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: and we didn't do a good enough job of that. 187 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 6: So I can't say a lot more about it. 188 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: We've we've talked about it, we talked about it in industry, 189 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: we work on it, We do every technique we can 190 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: possibly do in the game. We just gotta we gotta 191 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: let it happen, and it hasn't happened on a consistent basis. 192 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: There were some examples just through that were really good, 193 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: you know, some that maybe hadn't shown up as much, 194 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: but I thought there were some really good ones. One 195 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: from JV stands up on the perimiter, Jordan Batllle, Dax Hill, 196 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: came Tabor Britt fitting up, you know, pin in the hips. 197 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: So there were some that I thought were really good. 198 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: And then some obviously where we've got to be better 199 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: to get us off the field on some critical moments. 200 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 10: And he said, you know, you don't at disicipate any 201 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 10: personality because tackling. 202 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 6: Why why is that not an answer? Well, tackling is 203 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 6: not the only thing we have to factor in. 204 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: We have to factor in knowledge of the defense and 205 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: ability to get lined up and play coverages and respond 206 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: to the run game. And so there's more than just tackling. 207 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: It's frustrating when tackling is an issue, but there's a 208 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: lot more that goes into whether player players or not. 209 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: We factor in everything, and we talk about these things 210 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: every week on whether we want to make a personal 211 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: decision or not. But there's just more that's got a 212 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: factor into it than than one element of his game. 213 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 6: And there are times, I'm sure there's been. 214 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: Times where there's been one element that's been a deciding 215 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: factor on whether guys players or not. But I think 216 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: in some of these cases that you're probably bringing up, 217 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: there's more to it that plays into it, and we 218 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: have to make a sound decision. We're not afraid to 219 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: make a decision if we think that there's a better 220 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: way to approach it. If we don't know that there's 221 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 3: a better way to necessarily approach something, then then we'll 222 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: keep trying to fix the ones with the guys we. 223 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 5: Got when it comes to. 224 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: I'm not going to make any proclamations here on Monday 225 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 3: because we're still in the raw review phase, but we'll 226 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: get to Winnesdany Seward into. 227 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 5: About it six weeks. 228 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 8: So you guys went with the rookie linebackers I'm curious 229 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 8: kind of looking and they've hailed a little while, they've 230 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 8: had the ups and downs. Has the process gone about 231 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 8: how you expected it would go, or what have you 232 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 8: learned from this process? 233 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think there's there's been some some serious pros 234 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: to it. I thought, operationally, these two guys that are 235 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 3: a great job running the show yesterday and put us 236 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 3: in a really good position, and let let help the 237 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: defense do some some really good things that we can 238 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: continue to build off of. And they're still going to 239 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: go through their their growing pains a little bit, and 240 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: I know you're at the halfway point of the season 241 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 3: and you want to work through that. 242 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 6: There's certainly a lot on their plate. 243 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: Two of them playing together, to rickis together, Warren certainly 244 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: goes in there and does a good job as well 245 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: spelling them. So again, I continue to see progress being made, 246 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 3: and that's that's what we're asking those guys. Keep making progress, 247 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: eliminate the same mistakes over and over. They've got tremendous 248 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: attitudes that they are helpent on playing at a very 249 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: high level this season and helping this defense help us 250 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: win games. When it comes to tackling, if it's a 251 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: matter of just going out there and doing it. 252 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 5: Is that a question of effort? Then? 253 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 6: Then what is it a question of them? 254 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 4: Like I understand it's just going out there and doing it, 255 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 4: but like what does it take to go out there 256 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 4: and technique? 257 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, techniques to be part of it. 258 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 11: So when you have questions about leadership and culture, and 259 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 11: I wonder when you see someone like Jamar have an 260 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 11: incident yesterday, which is probably an outlier, Yes, you would say, 261 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 11: throughout his career, do you worry that the trend, the 262 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 11: overall trend line wins and losses results, is eroding culture 263 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 11: in this locker room and maybe causing guys to depart 264 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 11: the professionalism that you know them to have. 265 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 3: I think it's a great question because it's something when 266 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 3: you're losing you have to be extremely mindful of. It's 267 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 3: much easier to navigate when you're winning and everyone's happy 268 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 3: and things are easy that way. It's incredibly difficult to 269 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: lead when there's adversity. When you've lost seven of your 270 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: last eight games, that's when the real work has come in. 271 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: That's where you see true leaders emerge, and it's not easy. 272 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 6: You have to fight for it every day. 273 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: I've probably had twelve conversations in my office this morning, 274 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: because it's the foundation of everything we got to build 275 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: this thing on, is our relationships and sticking together because 276 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: there's a lot of adversity here. I think Jamar Chase 277 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: is will go down as one of my favorite all 278 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 3: time players and favorite all time leaders and everything he's about. 279 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 3: So I keep hearing this, it's like we're trying to 280 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 3: make something out of the situation that it's the only 281 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: thing that's kind of upset me as I'm sitting in 282 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: here because for a guy that has done everything we 283 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: can to build our organization around, he's been off not perfect. 284 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: I'm not perfect, I trust me. I mad plenty of 285 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: mistakes yesterday people don't see on camera. Unfortunately his what 286 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: was and so he's going to have to own up 287 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: for that and that will be part of his journey. 288 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: He's still in some ways, he's a veteran, He's still 289 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: I think he's going to play a long time and 290 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: so when you look at the overall part of his career, 291 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: this will be the beginning of his career in a 292 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 3: lot of words, in a lot of ways. So again, 293 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 3: I just we're going to move past that. And he's 294 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: a guy that we're going to continue to depend on. 295 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: He's a guy I'll put at the forefront of any 296 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: leadership group I ever have for the rest of my life. 297 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: When I retire, I'll bring Jamar Chase in as a 298 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: as a board member of whatever leadership group I create 299 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: to talk to to people I want him to talk to. 300 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: So I hope you understand my position on this because 301 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: he's he's a guy who's done everything he could possibly 302 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 3: could to help us win and do things the right way. 303 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 9: I'm sorry, but as you've had some of these conversations 304 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 9: with guys, have you seen individuals beyond maybe the guys 305 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 9: with the seat on their jersey, have you seen strong 306 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 9: leaders emerge? 307 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 6: Yeah? I think everyone has to do it in their 308 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 6: own way. They can't. 309 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: The biggest mistake you can make is asking too much 310 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: out of somebody when that's just not in their DNA. 311 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 3: That's not how they operate, that's not how they lead. 312 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: Plenty of great leadership. It's just guys leading by example 313 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 3: and doing it the right way. And so guys feed 314 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: off of that, and they know that when they do 315 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 3: finally speak the once a year they speak, it's a 316 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: guy that they've earned a lot of respect for and 317 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: we got a lot of guys in the locker room 318 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: like that, Guys that I would never put in a 319 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: position to stay in front of the team and hey, 320 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 3: give a speech on Saturday night, because that's just not 321 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: putting them in the best position. 322 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 6: You can lead a lot of different ways. 323 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: You can lead just by encouraging another guy your position 324 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: that's maybe going through some struggles. You can lead by 325 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: just just practicing hard and letting other guys see that 326 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 3: you're doing it that way. So there's a lot of 327 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 3: different forms of leadership. I hate the record we have, 328 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: I hate the position we're in. The silver lining is 329 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: you learn it so much about people right now that 330 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 3: when we're going to be back up here, you've found 331 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: out a lot about who handles adversity and who can 332 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: be in the thicke. It is because we're in the NFL, 333 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 3: there's a lot of these moments. I've been in a 334 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: lot of them, and I know what can be on 335 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 3: the other side, and I know how to get there, 336 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: and I know that we're going to get there. And 337 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: so again, the only silver lining to losing is I 338 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: get to know. 339 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 6: Who needs to be a part of the journey. 340 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: Going forward, and I see a lot of guys in 341 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: the locker room, I see the coach. I mean, it's 342 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: just there's a lot of guys that I depend on, 343 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: that I know I can depend on and they'll have 344 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: my back and I have theirs. 345 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 5: What would your message be to the NFL as they 346 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 5: evaluate Jamar and everything status. 347 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: I think the proof is in the putting with how 348 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: he's represented himself that. 349 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 6: Over and over and over. 350 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: That's sorry that being said about the silver linings, At 351 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 4: what point do y'all need to kind of make sure 352 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 4: that you have more returns than kind of finding a 353 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: glimmer of hope. 354 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 6: Oh, that's we have to win. You have to. 355 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: You know that, that's our whole business. 356 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 6: It eats us. 357 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 3: Every loss eats us alive, you know, And sometimes we 358 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: have to remove the emotion of it because we have 359 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: to turn around on Monday and get ready for New England. Like, 360 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: we can't spend too much time on the emotional part 361 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: of it. So, even though it affects us more than 362 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: you can ever imagine, part of what I've had to 363 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: learn as a coach and a head coach is I 364 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: got to take the emotion out of it, and I 365 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 3: got to get back to work, and I got to 366 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 3: find ways to get the best out of people and 367 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 3: put together great scheme and go out there Sunday and 368 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: have a chance to win. And let the emotion for 369 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: the people that can't control it, the people that don't 370 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: get to put together game plan and don't get to 371 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: go practice. I would be emotional too if I didn't 372 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: have any control, you know, And I see the team. 373 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: I support losing games and not putting the product on 374 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: the field that we know we're capable of. And so 375 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: I understand that whole part of it, and we're just 376 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: going to keep working and do everything we can. I 377 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: know that there's wins in this football team, and we 378 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: have to show that. That's our whole job, and so 379 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: we can't run from that. We can't make excuses for that. 380 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 6: We have to win. 381 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: We got to find a way to do it, and 382 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 3: we're helping on find that way. 383 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 5: Sometimes the hardest things sack. You know this as a coach. 384 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 5: It's forgetting about what happened in the past. 385 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 6: You can't worry about it moving forward. 386 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 7: Is that also part of your message that going forward 387 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 7: we stuck to the best week it is. 388 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 6: It's got to hurt you. You get it has to 389 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 6: hurt you. You can't. You can't get to that point 390 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 6: where you're numb to losing. 391 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: That's a bad place to be, and unfortunately that's that's 392 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: We've done a lot of that. But but we can't 393 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: numb ourselves to that. It's still got to feel the 394 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: pain when you walk off the field and the mistakes 395 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: that you make and the opportunities that you missed. It's 396 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 3: still got to feed you moving forward. But we also 397 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: can't forget what winning does for us. Just just one 398 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: win can change the whole trajectory of every season. And 399 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: why not this week We're gonna put everything we got 400 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: into it again. I believe in everybody we got and 401 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: we're gonna fight to find this win this week. 402 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 5: That makes said, do you feel Do you feel that enough? 403 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 5: Guys feel that same way A lot. 404 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: I do. 405 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do, I really do. I see it. 406 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: You know the DNA of a team When you watch 407 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: in practice after the losses we've had and you see 408 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 3: them go out there and just continue to compete. You 409 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 3: would see guys, you would see the lack of day's 410 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: cliff for showing up. You'd see the mistakes, you'd see 411 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: the finger pointing. There's none of that that shows up 412 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: on the tape, and maybe sometimes you wish it was 413 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: because you could explain, you know, the losses is a 414 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: little bit better, but but I haven't seen that, And 415 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: that's that's a positive that these guys are still fighting 416 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 3: like crazy because it's important to him and they want 417 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 3: to get it done. 418 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 6: And again, we just we had. 419 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 3: Our opportunities in the game yesterday, late third quarter, that 420 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: thing turned on us, and we've got to do a 421 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 3: better job. 422 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 6: Finish in the game. 423 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 12: What kind of relationship do you have with Mike Rabel 424 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 12: and what can you say about what he's done in 425 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 12: half a season. 426 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 6: He's a tremendous job. Number One. 427 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,239 Speaker 3: I haven't gotten into their team yet. You know, we're 428 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 3: still early here on Monday. I've always really liked Mike. 429 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: Mike has always treated me really well. We we don't 430 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 3: have much of a personal relationship. 431 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 6: I don't know. 432 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 3: I've never worked with him, I've never really been around him, 433 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: but I've always appreciated the respect he's shown me as 434 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: a younger guy coming up in the profession, when he's 435 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: got all the accolades that he's got and all the 436 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: skins on the wall all that I've always I've always 437 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: appreciated the interactions we've had and and you know, I 438 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: don't wish them well this week obviously, but always a 439 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: guy that I've appreciated how much you respects the game. 440 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 3: I think that's what you see is a great respect 441 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: for the game, and I certainly appreciate people that approach 442 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: it like that. 443 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 12: Throughout the year, a lot of the defensive players have 444 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 12: you know, talked about with their struggles, like you know, 445 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 12: if you saw how how well we're practicing during the week, 446 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 12: you know you wouldn't really it doesn't look the same 447 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 12: as it is in a game when when we're missing tackles. 448 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 12: What is it that it just isn't translating from the 449 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 12: from the practice field yet, That's. 450 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I think that's part of it. Obviously 451 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: you're not tackling in practice, but the no note team 452 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: is that's just make that clear. So again, I haven't 453 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 3: done this for seven years now. I've seen I've seen 454 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: tough practice where it's not great and you have a 455 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: bad feeling. I've seen good teams practice, and unfortunately we 456 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 3: haven't capitalized on it fully in the game to be 457 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 3: able to close out some games the way we want. 458 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 3: We've been close, but we haven't got it done. But 459 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: I know that the DNA's in there and we're capable 460 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: of doing it, and it's going to take one win 461 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 3: to propel us, and we've got to find a way 462 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: to get that first one. 463 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 5: Well, you guys find Burks. 464 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 7: It was kind of kind of I have to thought 465 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 7: almost I feel I think he split the snaps. 466 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 5: Yesterday with Night. 467 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, he's taken from the leadership wise. 468 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 3: Well, we're certainly not. He's earned opportunity, and so I 469 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 3: think he's done a great job. He's got a great 470 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: understanding what we're trying to achieve on special teams, ain't 471 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: on defense, and so we're not afraid to put him 472 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: in there. Not really an after thought for us when 473 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: we signed him. You know, there was I understand the comment. 474 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: I know, I understand, but for us, it wasn't for us. 475 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: He was a very deliberate He's he's did a good 476 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 3: job in Philly last year, especially as a starter there 477 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and he just look at his track 478 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: record in San fran and May and Philly and obviously 479 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: knows what it takes to win. He's been a part 480 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: of multiple multiple NFC championship games and Super Bowls, and 481 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 3: so happy to have him and he'll continue to play 482 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: from maybe the last Well, it's just I think just stability, maturity. 483 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 3: He's a professional man, He's he's been a great example 484 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: for a lot of progress. 485 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: Zach. 486 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 4: Do you get a sense of the frustration around the 487 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 4: city from fans kind of as the season kind of 488 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 4: goes the way it does in the last couple of years, 489 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 4: how they've went, you get a sense of a frustration 490 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 4: that's kind. 491 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 3: Of I'm not oblivious. I have to isolate myself. I 492 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 3: have to That's the only way I can function. And 493 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: I think that's understandable. But you also, again, it's no 494 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: one puts more pressure on us than I do on 495 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 3: myself to get it right. 496 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 6: And so. 497 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: I'm not oblivious to frustration. And I know what our 498 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 3: record is, and so that would lead to that, And 499 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: I don't blame anybody for feeling that way.

But 507 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 3: but first we've got to show a step in the 508 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 3: right direction. I'm doing that. 509 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 6: So until we do that, I understand how difficult it is. 510 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: This this, here's been a Zach Taylor press conference on 511 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home of US Cincinnati Bengals. 512 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: Night.

Twin Peaks and Florence tons of TVs. We 537 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: thank them for having us. As always, we had a 538 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: long Zach Taylor press conference. I think the press conference 539 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: is less important than the game itself. But because we 540 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 2: only have about a minute here before we break again 541 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: to get back on time. Any takeaway from Zach Taylor's 542 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: media session, Tony. 543 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 15: It's hard for me to believe that anything inside the 544 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 15: building is gonna change when it sounds like the same 545 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 15: press conference weekend and week out, that's my biggest thing. 546 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 15: It just doesn't sound like there's urgency, it doesn't sound 547 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 15: like there's accountability. It's just same old, same, like weeks ago. 548 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 15: Zach had no problem in his press conference saying that 549 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 15: he went and had a conversation with Chase Brown because 550 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 15: of what he said after the game, and we mentioned 551 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 15: that's what I want leaders to do. I want leaders 552 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 15: to hold people accountable. Now we're not disclosing any conversations 553 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 15: that we're had. Zach has already said he's not going 554 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 15: to move on or not going to make any personnel changes, 555 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 15: not going to share anything on the Jamar Chase side 556 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 15: of things. 557 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 16: It just it doesn't feel like. 558 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 15: A situation where anything is changing or anything's urgent in 559 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 15: the building. 560 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 2: Well, there was no urgency to yesterday's performance. No, so 561 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: I would expect no urgency today. There is a lot 562 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: to talk about and a lot from yesterday's game to me, 563 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: just felt painfully inevitable. I know folks aren't interested in 564 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and Jalen Ramsey, and we're going to talk 565 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: about it. I don't have the band to do three 566 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: hours on spitting. 567 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 16: Nope. 568 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: And frankly, while that is a significant story and one 569 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: we will talk about, that wasn't the biggest thing about 570 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: yesterday's game. No, the biggest things about yesterday's game was 571 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: how poorly coach the Bengals looked, how bad the defense 572 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: wasn't crunch time, the fact that Joe Flacco, perhaps very 573 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: physically compromised, turned into a pumpkin, the fact that the 574 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: team played with no urgency, like the Jamar Chase spit video, 575 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: which the one thing I'll say for Zach Taylor is 576 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: he at least didn't try to insult our intelligence by 577 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: telling us that he either didn't see it or that 578 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 2: Jamar didn't spit because he did. That is a footnote 579 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: and a side show, and unfortunately a part of I 580 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: don't know the latest chapter in the Bengals Steelers rivalry. Yep, 581 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 2: that's not the most important thing that happened yesterday. We'll 582 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: talk about what was when we come back twenty eight 583 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: from four o'clock Tony and Mo Football Show Twin Pigs 584 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: in Florence on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 585 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 17: Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic from. 586 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 14: The UCL tram Thinks Center. 587 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 10: Are you one of the thirty eight million Americans impacted 588 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 10: by diabetes?

They're a team playing with 620 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: a forty year old backup quarterback who's physically compromised. He 621 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 2: has a shoulder injury. It might have been made worse yesterday, 622 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: but he has a shoulder injury. He did not throw 623 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: it during wednesday's practice. The Steelers made an adjustment to 624 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: how they played the Bengals. We talked about it so 625 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: much after the first game, God, why are they playing 626 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: so much man demand? Well, it would then seem to 627 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: me that it would be logical to assume the Steelers 628 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: in the second game would switch it up and play zone. 629 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: They did. Bengals had no answer. Didn't play with any urgency, 630 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: didn't play with any urgency all season long, didn't in 631 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter yesterday. That's not surprising. And when Al 632 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 2: Golden's defense is put in a position where you can 633 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 2: affect the game, you can give your team a chance 634 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: to win, you knew they wouldn't because they haven't all 635 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: year long. And that's exactly what happened in the fourth 636 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 2: quarter yesterday. Game felt even though I thought they had 637 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: a shot to win, so much so that last week 638 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: I said they would, the way the game unfolded, to 639 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: me at least felt painfully inevitable. 640 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 15: That's the problem is that losses are now becoming normal, 641 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 15: and the ways in which they are losing are now 642 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 15: becoming normal. 643 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 16: The Jets loss the Bears loss. 644 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 15: Those should not be occurrences that happen in back to 645 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 15: back weeks, let alone the same time in the season, 646 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 15: and then yesterday we get the exact same thing. Offensively, 647 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 15: you call it what it is. They let Jamar Chase 648 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 15: catch sixteen passes on twenty three targets in Cincinnati on 649 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 15: Thursday Night football. You knew they got criticized for running 650 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 15: man to man. They weren't gonna come out, and yet 651 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 15: it looked like the Bengals had no answer for zone 652 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 15: defense and zone pressures. Not sure how that's a thing. 653 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 15: They were unable to get Jamar Chase going. And what 654 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 15: did we hear after the game again a phrase that 655 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 15: we've heard due often during Zach Taylor's tenure. They did 656 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 15: a really good job of game planning to take Jamar 657 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 15: Chase out of the game. Do we have to have 658 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 15: this same conversation today of you shouldn't let another team 659 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 15: dictate who you have and who you can go to. No, well, 660 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 15: we've already done that so many times you just become 661 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 15: numb to it. The defensive side of the ball, I 662 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 15: know they gave opportunities to the offense in the first 663 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 15: half in the second half, Mason Rudolph was the quarterback, 664 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 15: and in the second half the Pittsburgh Steelers, outside of 665 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 15: a kneel down on the final possession, had two drives. 666 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 16: Two drives, both. 667 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 15: Multiple ten play drives in which Mason Rudolph, in bad 668 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 15: field conditions in high winds, converted on third and two, 669 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 15: third and eleven, third and seventeen, third and one and 670 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 15: third and eleven, third and long. Should not be converted 671 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 15: that easily in the NFL. And oh, by the way, 672 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,959 Speaker 15: wasn't throwing the ball twenty yards down the field. It 673 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 15: was a dump off to Darnell Washington in which multiple 674 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 15: Bengals made business decisions to not. 675 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 16: Make a tackle. 676 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 15: It was a dump off to Kenneth Gainwell where no 677 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 15: one wanted to tackle in space. It is the same 678 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 15: thing that we've seen plague this defense game in and 679 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 15: game out. The linebackers, the safeties are an issue. Joe 680 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 15: Flacco's health, in my opinion, is an issue. If I'm 681 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 15: sitting back on the TV and I can say, well, 682 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 15: with the win and Joe Flacco's arm, it looks like 683 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 15: his arm angle is a little bit compromised. He's not 684 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 15: as accurate guess who else can pick up on that 685 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 15: the Steelers, so they start jumping the short routes that 686 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 15: leads to a pick six. Next thing, you know, Joe Flacco, 687 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 15: as you mentioned last week, starting to turn into a 688 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 15: little bit of a pumpkin. The Jalen Ramsey and Jamar 689 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 15: Chase thing is a mess. Everything about this team right 690 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 15: now is a mess. And the Jalen Ramsey and Jamar 691 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 15: Chase thing actually covered up one of the worst decisions 692 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 15: of the Zach Taylor era, which we'll dive into, I'm 693 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 15: sure at some point, the drive which they use two 694 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 15: timeouts and then a couple of plays later take a 695 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 15: delay of game only to settle for a field goal 696 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 15: on a drive that felt like they were playing up 697 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 15: eleven and not down eleven. 698 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: And yet, in spite of everything you just outlined, with 699 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: nine to forty one to go with a backup quarterback, 700 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers have the football. Not granted, the Bengals 701 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: can't do anything unique on special teams, so Evan McPherson 702 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: just wax into the end zone. So Pittsburgh's gonna start 703 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: at the thirty five with a backup quarterback. All you 704 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: gotta do is get off the field. Yep, so many 705 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: times this year, say what you want about the games, 706 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 2: were the defensive issues or coaching decisions or whatever their 707 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: personnel issues are. How many times this year has the 708 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 2: game been still at least somewhat hanging in the balance 709 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Maybe the Bengals are winning, Maybe 710 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: the Bengals are losing, but they have a chance to 711 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: give the football back to their offense. There they were 712 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: yesterday in a similar position to what they have been 713 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: in all season long. Right, yep, down a possession, if 714 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: you get off the field, you got a chance, You 715 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: got a chance, And that crowd is going to start 716 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 2: to express some level of reservation. Right, it's a game 717 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,959 Speaker 2: they need to win. Their quarterback has heard he's got 718 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 2: a bum wrist, and they go down the field. In 719 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: twelve plays, they kill six minutes plus worth of clock, 720 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: and they salt the game away. Yet again, This was 721 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: my question all off season, and I know I keep 722 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: coming back to this, but the Bengals keep doing the 723 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: same thing. Forget about league average defense. I need a 724 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: defense that, when the game is hanging in the balance, 725 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: can get a stop to finish the game, or get 726 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: a stop to give the ball back to the quarterback 727 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: every single time this year they have failed, and they 728 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: failed yesterday. That to me, like, that's the big takeaway. 729 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 2: Two weeks after Zach Taylor said Al Golden's the guy, 730 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 2: two weeks after he insisted, we can have a championship 731 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: level defense with what we have. 732 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 16: No staff changes, no staff change. 733 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: Radio silence from Duke Tobin who built this defense. All right, 734 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 2: here's a chance to show you know what that faith 735 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 2: is deserved. Here's a chance to show you, you know 736 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,719 Speaker 2: what it's different in the second half of the season. 737 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 2: And instead it was more of the same. Twelve plays, 738 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 2: sixty five yards, six minutes elapsed, They convert on third 739 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: and eleven that were stuck on second and fifteen. They 740 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: convert two different third downs, and the Steelers sought the 741 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: game away against Al Golan's defense. 742 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 15: You know, outside of as much as you just said, 743 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 15: what's even more demoralizing is this comes after a bye week, 744 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 15: right right? It comes after Did you watch Sunday Night Football? 745 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 16: I did. 746 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 15: Did the Steelers look like the ill prepared team that 747 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 15: had a shortened week. It was the Bengals out of 748 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 15: a bye that looked unprepared, that didn't look ready for 749 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 15: a zone defense on offense, the defense that had no 750 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 15: answer for Mason Rudolph of all people in the second half. 751 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 15: It is it's a comedy of airs. And I go 752 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 15: back to a word on both sides of the ball 753 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 15: that you never want to be used as a team soft. Yep, 754 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 15: they're soft on both sides of the ball. Outside of 755 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 15: a couple players. A defense is soft. The offense is soft. 756 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 15: They don't have guys that are gonna dig their heels 757 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 15: in in the trenches and battle you and fight you 758 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 15: and scratch and claw for every opportunity you get. They 759 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 15: just go down without a fight. They are that they 760 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 15: don't have the personnel. And if you don't have the personnel, 761 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 15: you got to have the coaching and the development, and 762 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 15: in my opinion, they don't have either of those. And 763 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 15: the head coach just stood up there on the podium 764 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 15: today and essentially is not taking any accountability for what's 765 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 15: happening other than we'll get it figured out. This is 766 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 15: all gonna be so much better when we get it 767 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 15: figured out, because we're gonna know who the guys are 768 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 15: that are riding with this when this gets turned around. 769 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 15: That's what we're being fed now. When this gets turned around. 770 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 15: How about the captain, the guy that wears the sea 771 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 15: on us chest, Jamar Chase, a day after the video 772 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 15: comes out and you lied. How about just making a 773 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 15: statement today, how about Zach Taylor making a statement today 774 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 15: about Jamar Chase. Instead, this becomes more and more of 775 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 15: an issue because it's not addressed and at the very 776 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 15: core of it's a soft football team on far too 777 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 15: many accounts. 778 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 2: I do want to talk about what you just said 779 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 2: about Zach Taylor and Jamar Chase today and we're gonna 780 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 2: talk about that entire situation coming up in the four 781 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 2: o'clock hour. To me, the bye week was a chance 782 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 2: to hit the reset button, however they decided to do. 783 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 2: He did stretch with end of the day. The bye 784 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: week was a chance to hit the reset button. Maybe 785 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: it was a new defensive coordinator they didn't do that. 786 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: Maybe it was announcing that there's going to be changes 787 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 2: in the front office that wasn't the case. Maybe it 788 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: was gonna be personnel changes, changes, maybe schematically. Whatever it was, 789 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: it was going to be the reset button. So there 790 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 2: I was in the fourth quarter yesterday, I going, okay, 791 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 2: if things are indeed different, if out Golan legitimately is 792 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: the guy. If this defense truly is one that you 793 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 2: should move forward with, you get a stop here, and 794 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: instead number one, when Mason Rudolph came charging out with 795 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: his bad mustache. Nine minutes to go, they need a 796 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 2: field goal to make it a two possession game. And 797 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 2: there isn't one of us who had watched to that 798 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: point on a day where the defense did okay ish. 799 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: There wasn't one of us who want, you know what, 800 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 2: this unit's gonna get a stop. There wasn't one of 801 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: us who has that drive unfolded, didn't think, you know 802 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: what this looks like, exactly what I thought it would 803 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 2: look like. And when they scored the touchdown, there isn't 804 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 2: one of us who didn't shrug our shoulders and go, yeah, 805 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 2: of course, but that was the shot. That moment right 806 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: there was the chance to prove, you know what, the 807 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 2: faith in the personnel, the faith in the coordinator, the 808 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 2: faith in the coaching staff, if you want to go 809 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 2: that far, was justified, was proven. It was validated because 810 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 2: they got to stop in the sort of situation they 811 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: haven't gotten one in all year long. 812 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 15: They failed, They failed in putting the roster together. They 813 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 15: failed during the bye week, like again, that looked like 814 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 15: a team yesterday that played Sunday night football and then 815 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 15: had a quick turnaround to get back to a normalst. 816 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 16: Sunday game. 817 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 15: It didn't look like a team coming off of by 818 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 15: Did you see any new wrinkles? Did any new wrinkles 819 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 15: jump out to you? Look pretty basic to me. And 820 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 15: we heard after the game again a phrase as a 821 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 15: Bengal fan we've heard far too many times. They just 822 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 15: did a good job of taking away our our guys. 823 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,399 Speaker 15: The score was not indicative mo of what that game 824 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 15: really was, when in reality it was this team. No, 825 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 15: they're seven points away from being oh to ten. They 826 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 15: are seven points away. They're a miskick in Cleveland, a 827 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 15: questionable pass interference Colin Travis Hunter and a thirty three 828 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 15: to thirty one victory over Aaron Rodgers and that Pittsburgh 829 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 15: team from being h to ten. They are closer to 830 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 15: the bottom than they are getting back to the top. 831 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 15: And if this just status quo continues on, what will 832 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 15: lead you to believe that anything is going to be different, 833 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 15: What is going to change? What is going to be 834 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 15: the moment that has someone say okay, enough is enough? 835 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 15: Is someone here's my film study today, mondays, you come 836 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 15: back in and you watch the tape, you put the 837 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 15: tape to bed. Who on the defensive side of the 838 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 15: ball stood up today and watched Geno stone if and 839 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 15: what no part of Darnell Washington who stood up and said, Hey, 840 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 15: that's enough, this isn't acceptable. 841 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 16: Is anyone on defense able to do that? 842 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: Now? 843 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 16: Trey Hendrickson in those meetings, is he watching the game tape? 844 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 16: Do you think? 845 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 15: Or is he just doing his own thing? Because there's 846 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 15: no one else on the defense that can stand up 847 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 15: and say, Gino, what is this? What is this effort? 848 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 15: They don't have it? And I'll give you one more. 849 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 15: You know, we often talk about like if you're Mike Brown, 850 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 15: if you're Katie and Duke Tobin sits across from you, 851 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 15: you go, why can't you fix this? What I would 852 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 15: be asking Duke Tobin today is we couldn't have traded 853 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 15: for Kyle dugger Oh. 854 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 16: That safety who had a pick six yesterday? 855 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 2: We we did? Did we ask the Patriots about him? 856 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 16: What they give up? What the Steelers called a. 857 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 2: Couple of firsts? Right? 858 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 16: Oh, couble of firsts? Yeah? 859 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: For Kyle Duggar unbelievable legitimately, like, that's a fair question. Yes, 860 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 2: that's not pounding away unnecessary. We got Geno Stone because 861 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 2: he took a pay cut. So Duke, let me get 862 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 2: this straight. I'm watching Geno Stone do his best to 863 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 2: not tackle a player who plays his position, was acquired 864 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 2: by the team that we just played and he had 865 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 2: a pick six against us? Did we ask? Did did 866 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 2: we investigate whether or not we could get him? But 867 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 2: but you can't ask Duke that question because Duke Tobin 868 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 2: maybe like on a on a cruise around the world 869 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 2: for all I know, I don't know where that guy. 870 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 15: Credit who asked it today to Zach Taylor. Yes, so 871 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 15: we didn't have it. We don't have a chance to 872 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 15: ask anyone else. So what at least we're getting to 873 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 15: that point, right, Austin made the point today. You know 874 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 15: who makes a lot of special teams tackles BJ jewles? 875 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 15: Oh what position does he play? 876 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 2: Does he play safety? 877 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 16: Can I see him trying to tackle Darnell Washington? 878 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 2: Is it usually how it works? Like if you're a 879 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 2: if you're a contributing player on special teams, they expand 880 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 2: her role and then you get a chance to play 881 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 2: on the side of the ball where your your normal 882 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 2: position lies. 883 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 15: We're waiting on Geno Stone like he was a former 884 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 15: first round pick. He was a seventh round pick. 885 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 2: In his sixth NFL season, who the. 886 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 16: Baltimore Ravens said, uh, we're good right that in Baltimore's 887 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 16: their secondary is not great. A seventh round pick, and and. 888 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 15: We're like, we're holding onto Geno Stone like he's this 889 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 15: untapped talent that they're gonna eventually get something out of 890 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,479 Speaker 15: by developing more. 891 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 16: He's not. 892 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 15: He's a seventh round pick for a reason. He's not 893 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 15: this super fined in the draft. He's not a steal. 894 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 15: A seventh rounder who the Ravens looked at and said, 895 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 15: I'm okay, yeah, I And then who who the Bengals 896 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 15: looked at and said, we're gonna need you to give 897 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 15: some of that money back. 898 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 16: Who said okay? 899 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 2: And the remarkable thing about Geno Stone is like he's 900 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 2: the defensive spokesperson after the game. 901 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, he's the talking Yeah. 902 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 2: Again, I keep talking about Duke Tobin, not through the 903 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 2: lens of frustrated fan. If he works for me, and 904 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 2: I'm asking repeatedly, why can't you fix this? Today's conversation 905 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: as Duke, Hey, the guy that had to pick six 906 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: against us, the guy who was all over the field 907 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 2: at safety, a position where we're not great at. Did 908 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 2: you even make the phone call? Did you try? Did 909 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: we have a chance to get him? I'm gonna guess 910 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 2: the answers are huh, Duke ton even knows who Kyle 911 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,720 Speaker 2: Dugger is. Probably it is seven away from four o'clock. 912 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 2: Tony and Mo Football Show. 913 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 16: Want to start. 914 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 2: We're at Twin Peaks.

Moagger with Tonypike, 936 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 2: A little bit of a late start to the hour, 937 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 2: My apologies for that. We are here till six o'clock 938 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 2: day after the Bengals were beaten by the pittsburghs Dealers 939 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 2: thirty four to twelve. We'll get to a loss Saturday 940 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 2: at Nippert Stadium coming up here, and just but a 941 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 2: lost Cincinnati football weekend, and I'm already looking ahead to 942 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: next this coming weekend to see if, if anything could 943 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: be salvage. I don't think the main headline to yesterday's 944 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 2: game was Jamar Chase spinning at Jalen Ramsey, but it 945 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 2: clearly was a component, and so let's spend some time 946 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 2: on it. We heard Zach Taylor an hour ago. Zach 947 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 2: Taylor was asked questions about Jamar Chase. I do not 948 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 2: expect an NFL head coach to divulge what is said 949 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 2: in a private meeting with one of his players. So 950 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 2: the fact that he was unwilling to tell us what 951 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 2: he told Jamar Chase does not bother me. I think 952 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,240 Speaker 2: that is a scenario. And look, we love Jamar Chase 953 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 2: by every account, good guy, good dude, did an extraordinarily 954 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 2: regrettable thing yesterday, and whatever comes his way comes his way. 955 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 2: He lied about it yesterday, he denied it. I have 956 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 2: no other way to take that as being not forthcoming 957 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 2: with the truth, which is a lie. I don't know 958 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 2: that it is completely fair and to Zach Taylor to 959 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 2: put him up there and make him answer questions about 960 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 2: something that he's not that responsible for. So for me, 961 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 2: if i'm Jamar Chase, I go, look, Zach, you're talking 962 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 2: at three, you'll talk at three zero five. I'll come 963 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 2: out at three o'clock. Yeah, and I'll I'll talk about 964 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 2: what happened, and I'll acknowledge that it happened. I'll take responsibility. 965 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 2: If he wants to throw Jalen Ramsey under the bus, 966 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: he can do that, and he can answer questions about 967 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: the incident, what may lie ahead, what it says about him. 968 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 2: I would have I would have. I would have admired 969 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 2: that I would And he could have done that. He 970 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 2: could have said, look, coach, you're gonna get questions about 971 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 2: what I did. I'll answer them. They should be aimed 972 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 2: at me. Yeah, I'll take the heat, not you. This 973 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 2: isn't this isn't something that you should have to answer to. 974 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 2: And so all right, you know, Zach got the questions. 975 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,919 Speaker 2: You may or may not have liked how he handled them. 976 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 2: My bigger issue with Zach Taylor's how he coached the 977 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 2: game yesterday. But Jamar Chase could have spoken today. But 978 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase could have said, look, you got questions about 979 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 2: what happened, ask him to me, not my head coach. 980 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 15: Yeah, and it's it's a lot of what we talked 981 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 15: about on the bye week. Zach Taylor was asked to 982 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 15: go up there and essentially speak on Duke Tobyin's failures. 983 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 15: Had to do that, and today he had to speak 984 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 15: on Jamar Chase's failure. Look, you you hit it earlier today. 985 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 15: If you if you're someone who has kids, there are 986 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 15: times you're mad, you're disappointed in your kids. Doesn't mean 987 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 15: you care about them less or love the money less, right, 988 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 15: And that's the same. Like, It's not like I'm like, oh, 989 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 15: I can never root for Jamar Chase again. I root 990 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 15: for him just as hard as I always have. But 991 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 15: the thing with this incident, that's a serious offense, no doubt, 992 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 15: spinning on someone dude in their face is serious, and 993 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 15: doing so and then blatantly lying about it after the 994 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 15: game makes it even worse. So today there was an opportunity, 995 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 15: whether it was at three o'clock in a podium or 996 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 15: whether it was in front of your locker with the 997 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 15: media of availability. Guys, I'm not gonna take questions, but 998 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 15: I just want to say I apologize for my actions. 999 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 15: I got caught up in the moment, right, that's not 1000 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 15: indicative of who I am. I let something else affect me. 1001 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 15: I'm not gonna make any other statements about it, but 1002 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 15: I just wanted to get it out there that I apologize. 1003 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 15: I shouldn't have lied about it, and it won't happen again. 1004 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 15: Then it's done. Then we don't talk about it anymore. Yeah, Now, well, 1005 00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 15: when's Jamar talk Thursday. Oh, let's wait and see what 1006 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 15: he's says Thursday. Let's see what the NFL does. Let's 1007 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 15: see what Zach Castes. Now get up on the podium 1008 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 15: and be asked multiple times about Jamar Chase or as 1009 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 15: teammates or now Joe Flack are going to talk about him, right, 1010 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 15: other teammates going to talk about him? Like it's just 1011 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 15: this is hard enough, all right? This is unraveling quickly. Yes, 1012 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 15: we talked earlier. It feels like you're playing out the 1013 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 15: season with two games left and you're not. You've got 1014 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 15: to get ready for the hottest team in football and 1015 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 15: then you go Baltimore, Buffalo, Baltimore. The last thing you 1016 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 15: need to be doing is being hung up on this still. 1017 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 15: All it does is create more distraction. That's a distraction, 1018 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 15: Trey Hendrickson. Now is becoming a thing. You're gonna get 1019 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 15: more questions about Joe Burrow going forward, what's going on 1020 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:48,280 Speaker 15: with Shamar Stewart? 1021 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 16: How did that? 1022 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 15: Like all it is, there's just questions upon questions upon questions, 1023 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 15: and at the root of it. We're really getting away 1024 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 15: from the main issue, and that's how the team's performing 1025 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 15: on the field. Yes, we're not addressing what went wrong yesterday. 1026 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 15: Zach today wasn't asked at all about the drive in 1027 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 15: which he burned two timeouts in the third courter in 1028 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:09,959 Speaker 15: the fourth quarter. 1029 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: I got that at four and twenties. But hold on, 1030 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 2: but again, yes. 1031 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 15: But now we're not even getting to the meat of that. 1032 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 15: We're not even talking about the play. And you could 1033 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 15: we could highlight good things. We could talk about the 1034 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 15: old line that the Guards are playing better football, could 1035 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 15: talk about Miles Murphy I thought had his best game 1036 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 15: as a Bengal yesterday. We could talk about Chase Brown 1037 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 15: like there's not just bad. We could talk good as well. 1038 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 15: But instead, here's this dark cloud over an organization and 1039 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 15: a team now that feels like it is unraveling at 1040 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 15: an unbelievably fast clip. And to your point, was it 1041 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 15: like that yesterday? Third quarter? It was still in the 1042 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 15: in the grass. You're down by a point, Yeah, with 1043 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 15: Mason Rudolph at the helm, and you force a third 1044 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 15: and eleven, a third and seventeen, a third and eleven, 1045 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,479 Speaker 15: and you don't get off the field that the root 1046 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 15: of that is in those problems. It's in personnel, it's 1047 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 15: in scheme, it's in how the team has been constructed. 1048 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 15: You're just now allowing this to add to the add 1049 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 15: fuel to the fire. 1050 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 2: Two more things on Jamar. Number one, everybody looks at 1051 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 2: Jalen Carter the Eagles as the blueprint where spitting incident 1052 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 2: before the first play from the scrimmage. He was kicked 1053 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 2: out of the game, and the NFL basically ruled that's 1054 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 2: the one game suspension. Punishments are meant to be deterrence. 1055 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 2: It would be unsurprising to me if the league said, Okay, 1056 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 2: we suspended a guy for a game for spitting, and 1057 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 2: clearly we stalked at a spitting So guess what the 1058 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,240 Speaker 2: punishment's now going to be multiple games? 1059 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 16: Well I could see that. 1060 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 15: I could see, well, the punishment didn't get through, So 1061 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 15: it's gonna be a game in a higher fine or 1062 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,000 Speaker 15: it's a game and then it's also another game because 1063 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 15: you just blatantly lied about it. 1064 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 16: Right, Like again, it's twenty twenty five. 1065 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 15: You spit on someone on a football field, Yeah, there's 1066 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 15: gonna be an angle. 1067 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 2: There should be. 1068 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 15: And by the ways, to the people that are going 1069 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 15: at the gentleman from Fox nineteen. 1070 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 2: I was gonna go there next. 1071 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 15: For posting that video of doing his job. Get a life, 1072 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 15: Like get I'm reading some of these comments of people 1073 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 15: threatening this guy or calling this guy names for doing 1074 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 15: his job as a reporter and reporting on the news. 1075 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 15: Get a life. If after that incident, that's what you're 1076 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 15: focused on doing. 1077 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,760 Speaker 2: I don't know the guy. His name is Austin Brisky. 1078 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 2: He works for Fox nineteen. I don't know Austin. Number one. 1079 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 2: I think there are people who in his shoes would 1080 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 2: have said, I'm not gonna do that because they would 1081 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 2: have been fearful of backlash, either from the team or 1082 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 2: from fans. Number two, You're exactly right. The job of 1083 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 2: a reporter is to observe and report. That's exactly what 1084 00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:00,760 Speaker 2: he did. One of the key moments in that game 1085 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 2: was when Pittsburgh's Jalen Ramsey got thrown out during the 1086 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 2: middle of what were a series of heated exchanges between 1087 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 2: the two. As a reporter, if you have information that 1088 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 2: provides some context as to what was going on between 1089 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 2: the two, I think you have an obligation to your 1090 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 2: audience to share it. 1091 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 16: Yep. 1092 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 2: I'm not a journalist. I don't know anything about journalism, 1093 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 2: quite frankly, but I know that as a reporter, if 1094 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 2: you could apply context to something that happened in the 1095 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 2: game that was significant, I think you have an obligation 1096 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,800 Speaker 2: to share it. I would think less of him or 1097 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 2: anybody else who had that video and decided to sit 1098 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 2: on it. It was out, it was It wasn't in 1099 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 2: the locker room, wasn't behind the scenes. It was on 1100 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 2: the field during the game, and so I could not 1101 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: agree more. If your instant reaction is to come after 1102 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 2: the reporter who reported, you are a loser. 1103 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 15: Correct, Like I said, oh my, that this would have 1104 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 15: never happened to this kid, not done that, Like that's 1105 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:09,319 Speaker 15: the first thought. 1106 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 2: It's a National Football League game, you. 1107 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 15: Know what this This guy's a turncoat. This guy's reporting 1108 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 15: for a local team and he's he's throwing Jamar Chase 1109 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 15: under the bus. That's not what it is. 1110 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 2: Jamar did something in view that this guy happened to 1111 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 2: have a camera pointed at and he shared the information 1112 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 2: that he has. 1113 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm just there are things that happen. Again, I 1114 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,439 Speaker 15: would never I'd never condone spinning on someone I'm also 1115 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 15: not condoning someone to withhold from their job that they're 1116 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,399 Speaker 15: trying to do this job and again to get that 1117 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 15: type of pushback from people locally as a bad look 1118 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 15: that that, I mean, that is a that in itself 1119 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 15: is a black cloud, that that you are so bent 1120 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 15: out of shape that someone released a video of something 1121 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 15: that actually happened, not a doctored video, not a as 1122 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 15: you mentioned, not a video that you shot in the 1123 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 15: locker room on your cell phone that should have never 1124 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 15: made public. It's on a football field, it's in the 1125 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,720 Speaker 15: middle of a National Football League game. And let's be honest, 1126 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 15: at some point there'll probably been another angle that came 1127 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 15: out anyway, sure, or I'm sure maybe the NFL is 1128 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 15: re viewing another angle that just hasn't been made public. 1129 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 15: You know how many different angles there are that you remember, 1130 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,879 Speaker 15: like the old NFL film stuff, and people might everywhere, Yes, 1131 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 15: it's going to come out. 1132 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, like every NFL film's career or 1133 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 2: every NFL game is filmed and miked by NFL film. 1134 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 15: Correct, they were zoomed in on that as well. 1135 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,760 Speaker 2: As a non zero chance that what Jamar and Jalen 1136 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 2: Ramsey were saying to each other was recorded, correct. I 1137 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 2: don't know if any of that is going to see 1138 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 2: the light to day. That's controlled by NFL Films, which 1139 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 2: is an arm of the National Football League. But Austin 1140 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 2: Brisky did his job, yep. And if your reaction to 1141 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 2: this is to come at him, you need to take 1142 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 2: a look in the mirror. 1143 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 16: Yep. 1144 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 2: Reporter reported, he did his job. He's not the reason 1145 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 2: why we're here. Jamar Chase and Jalen Ramsey are why 1146 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 2: we're here. And again, Jamar did what he did. He 1147 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 2: gets whatever is coming his way, and there's gonna be 1148 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 2: a time and I don't know what it's gonna be 1149 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 2: where Jamar Chase is gonna have a microphone in front 1150 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 2: of his face and is gonna be asked about it. 1151 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 2: And I'm intrigued by what he has. 1152 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 15: And again, to your point, doesn't take away the greatness 1153 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,760 Speaker 15: of Jamar Chase as a player. It doesn't take away 1154 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 15: that comes Sunday if he's on the field. Yes, I'm 1155 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 15: gonna be rooting like hell for Jamar Chase to have 1156 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 15: nineteen catches and one hundred and ninety two yards and 1157 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,720 Speaker 15: two touchdowns. 1158 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,840 Speaker 16: Because he's capable of that. Every week. 1159 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 15: But it also doesn't prohibit you from getting criticism when 1160 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 15: you do something you shouldn't be doing. Talking about role models, 1161 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 15: talking about wearing a sea on your chest, I mean 1162 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 15: kids are watching that, players are like, that's something that 1163 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,879 Speaker 15: you have to hold yourself to a higher standard. As 1164 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 15: a captain and as a leader, and someone who was 1165 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 15: viewed as by many the top wide receiver in the 1166 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 15: National Football League. 1167 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 2: I think what made it so noteworthy was it is 1168 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 2: so out of character. Right, I've watched every snap that 1169 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase has played as a Bengal, I've watched him 1170 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 2: operate in the public realm. There has been nothing about 1171 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 2: him to this point that has made me think he's 1172 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 2: a bad guy. That has made me think he's a 1173 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 2: dude you don't want to root for. I'll root like 1174 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 2: help him. I say this all the time. I'm a 1175 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 2: body of work guy. Jamar Chase's body of work on 1176 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 2: and off the field is terrific. This was very unfortunate, 1177 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,880 Speaker 2: very regrettable. He should be held accountable. He should and 1178 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 2: will face whatever punishment is thrown at him. He should 1179 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 2: publicly at least acknowledge it. But whether it's this Sunday 1180 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 2: or Thanksgiving night or sometime later in the season, Like, 1181 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 2: I have no problem rooting for that guy. Again, by 1182 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 2: no stretch of the imagination would any reasonable human being 1183 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 2: condone what he did. Okay, that doesn't have to define him, 1184 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:05,320 Speaker 2: and I don't think it does define it. 1185 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 15: And I'm also like, I could say I don't agree 1186 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 15: with it, but if you watch the outcut the whole game, 1187 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,399 Speaker 15: the Jalen Ramsey hit on him in the back, Yes, 1188 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 15: I get, Yes, I can get why there's pent up frustration. 1189 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 15: I like, that's why after the game or even today 1190 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 15: to say I wasn't in my right mental space. I 1191 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 15: was frustrated things that happened throughout the game. I did 1192 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 15: something out of character. I apologize, I own up to it. 1193 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 15: I'm good with it. Like I'm not holding because there 1194 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 15: were things that happened during the game that I'm like, 1195 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 15: how's that? I mean Treg Green yesterday that that should 1196 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 15: be flagged, the hit that he took in the lower 1197 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 15: like that should be a penalty. So I get all 1198 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 15: that frustration that's built up from the same guy talking 1199 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 15: and hitting you all game long and your team's losing 1200 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 15: and you're going through this win and the season's not 1201 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:52,439 Speaker 15: going how you want. 1202 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 16: I get it. 1203 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 15: Yeah, just down up to it, right, mistake out of character, 1204 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:58,439 Speaker 15: not who I am, won't happen. 1205 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 2: By the way, there's room for multiple true I think 1206 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey is an ass clown. Correct. I also know 1207 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 2: that Jamar Chase spin at him and you don't do that. 1208 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,320 Speaker 2: Like I think there's room for multiple truths. I also 1209 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 2: think you're an idiot if you punch at somebody in 1210 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 2: a face who's wearing a football face mask. Agreed, because 1211 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 2: you're gonna get the worst of it. I give if 1212 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 2: I was wearing a football helmet and you decided to 1213 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 2: punch me in the face and you hit the face mask. 1214 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna get the worst of it? 1215 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 2: You or me? Right right? And that's not just a 1216 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey thing. I've been watching football players punch each 1217 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,439 Speaker 2: other in the face for decades and I never understand it.

Can you explain to me 1307 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,800 Speaker 2: what Zach Taylor was doing there early in the fourth quarter? 1308 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 15: I'm other than like trying to play that like junior 1309 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 15: high and literallygue coaches try. 1310 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 16: I don't have an answer. 1311 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 15: Like they lined up and I don't even think I 1312 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 15: thought it was more like fourth and inches. 1313 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,440 Speaker 16: I mean it wasn't a full one correct, Yeah, So. 1314 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 15: When they line up originally, I'm like, okay, you wanted 1315 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 15: it early because there was so much time on the 1316 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 15: play clock. 1317 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 16: That's all I can't remember. 1318 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 15: Thinking was like, Okay, now they're gonna shift and actually 1319 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 15: run the play, which I'm good with. Try to get 1320 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 15: the free five, yeah, and then run the play knowing 1321 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,040 Speaker 15: that you're already facing a deficit. You don't really have 1322 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 15: the luxury to burn timeouts. So what I don't understand. 1323 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 15: You don't have anything called except trying to get them 1324 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 15: to jump off sides. If you're gonna punt, just take 1325 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,400 Speaker 15: the delay a game. Instead, you burn the time out 1326 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 15: to do what? Talk over what it was. It's something 1327 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 15: that everyone can see coming. Maybe you see two teams 1328 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,439 Speaker 15: jump on that per year in the NFL. Everyone knew 1329 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 15: what was coming. And once they hold their ground, what 1330 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 15: I thought they might do because they got to the 1331 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 15: line so quick, is that they wanted to get Pittsburgh 1332 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 15: to relax a little bit, try to get the hard count, 1333 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 15: go into the motion. They don't jump, and now Pittsburgh knows, okay, 1334 01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 15: they're just trying to get us a jump and then 1335 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 15: you snap the ball and you get the inch a 1336 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 15: couple of inches you need. They took a time out. 1337 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 15: I was shocked, like baffled what they're doing, and it 1338 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 15: kind of got swept under the rug because of the 1339 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 15: Jamar Chase incident. But I messaged with you right away, 1340 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 15: like Jamar Chase and Jalen Ramsey just saved Zach Taylor 1341 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 15: from having to deal with whatever the heck that just was, 1342 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 15: which still wasn't the end of the drive, because they 1343 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 15: burned another one. 1344 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 2: Well, they burned another one one play later after a 1345 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 2: five yard had pass. Then later in the drive which 1346 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 2: did end with the field goal. Later in the drive, 1347 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 2: they had a delay of game. Like if if you 1348 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 2: were showing that sequence starting with the starting with the 1349 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 2: third and one, if you were showing someone that's the 1350 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 2: Quins who knew nothing about Zach Taylor and ask them 1351 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 2: to conclude whether or not the Bengals are a well 1352 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 2: coached team. What do you think they would have said? 1353 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 16: No, they're not. 1354 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,200 Speaker 15: Like and again, in the grand scheme of this, they 1355 01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:21,160 Speaker 15: got the ball back with the third quarter ending down 1356 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 15: at that point, what were they down eleven eleven? And 1357 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 15: they had proceeded to take almost six minutes off the 1358 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:28,919 Speaker 15: clock and ran twelve plays. 1359 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 2: Taking their sweet time between plays. You would have run 1360 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 2: the ball fine, any urgency, little tempo. Yeah, get back 1361 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 2: to the line. 1362 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 12: Like. 1363 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 15: There's plenty of teams in college and NFL they called 1364 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 15: two plays in the huddle like second Short. I guarantee 1365 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 15: you over half the league mo on second Short is 1366 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 15: calling two plays. Hey, we're gonna run this. If we 1367 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 15: get the first down, we'll huddle. If not, let's get 1368 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 15: back to the line and let's run this quick. Instead, 1369 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 15: we're talking about a team again operating with zero sense 1370 01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:02,919 Speaker 15: of urgency. And again, if it was one time two okay, weird, right, 1371 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 15: it happens. This has been all year. Game one, Joe 1372 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,200 Speaker 15: Burrow is yelling at the sideline to get the play 1373 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 15: in quicker, let's go instill down eleven plenty of times 1374 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 15: still on the clock because in the back of your 1375 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 15: mind you're still facing Mason Rudolph on the other side. 1376 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 15: If we go get points, we'll right back in this. 1377 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 15: You just dink and dunk and take your sweet time 1378 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 15: all the way to the point. 1379 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:25,440 Speaker 16: Again. 1380 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 15: You use two timeouts and what a two play one 1381 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,160 Speaker 15: place fan, and then a couple of plays later you 1382 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 15: get a delay a game, so timeout play. Then you 1383 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 15: got to burn another timeout for whatever reason, and then 1384 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 15: you're still struggling a couple plays later. You take a 1385 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 15: delay a game. Make it make sense. 1386 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 2: So at phase value, what you said about the approach 1387 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,920 Speaker 2: on fourth and inches, I don't disagree with, right, Like, 1388 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,600 Speaker 2: let's see if they do jump and if they don't 1389 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 2: snap the ball, sneak it, hand it off, whatever, get 1390 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 2: what we need to move the chains. At the same time, 1391 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 2: we talked in the first hour about how soft they 1392 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,920 Speaker 2: are to me, the team that isn't soft says, screw it. 1393 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 2: Let's line up, We'll get the yard. Yes, line let's 1394 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 2: line up and go like, we don't all. 1395 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 16: The way they ran the ball for almost five yards 1396 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 16: of carrying. 1397 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 2: Right, we don't need all the the whiz bang of 1398 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 2: you know, hard count and try. You know, lineup, We're 1399 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 2: gonna get the inches, and if we can't, we can't. 1400 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,120 Speaker 2: Like to me, I understand in real time, I'm going okay, 1401 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 2: they'll try to draw them off play, clock will get 1402 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 2: under five, they'll snap it. But there's also a part 1403 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 2: of me that's like, you know what, screw it, man, 1404 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 2: we are tired of being bullied by the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1405 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 2: We beat you the last game, we beat you the 1406 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 2: last time we played last year. We're not gonna be 1407 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 2: bullied by you. We're gonna line up, get the inches 1408 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 2: and keep going. To me. The team that's not soft 1409 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 2: doesn't even try the the Shenanigans of try to draw 1410 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 2: them off side. We'll line up, our guys can knock 1411 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 2: your guys backward, and we can get not eight yards, 1412 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 2: eight inches. 1413 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 15: It's it's a mindset, and it's a way in which 1414 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 15: this team does not carry themselves, and that starts with 1415 01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 15: the coach. Regardless of what you think of Zach Taylor. 1416 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 15: I also thought mo that was indicative. On the first 1417 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 15: offensive drive of the game, you score a touchdown, Pittsburgh 1418 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 15: roughs the snapper and I don't mind going for it. 1419 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 15: What did they do? They motioned Joe Flacco out of 1420 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 15: the backfield, direct snap it, and run right. 1421 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 2: At Cam Hayward. 1422 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,439 Speaker 15: You just ran the ball successfully the whole time, and 1423 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 15: you still got Jamar Chason T. Higgins and your full 1424 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,280 Speaker 15: complimental weapons and your choice. I don't mind going for two. 1425 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 15: Your choice is to motion Joe Flacco out and direct 1426 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 15: snap at the Chase Brown and run right at the middle. Like, 1427 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 15: those are mindsets, that's something that's set in place in 1428 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 15: the game to say, if we get in short yarded situations, 1429 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 15: buckle your chin straps, we're gonna turn around and run 1430 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 15: power right up the middle or right at this guy, 1431 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 15: and we're gonna run behind you guys and go get 1432 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 15: a first down. 1433 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:02,679 Speaker 2: It ended up not mattering to me. I just thought 1434 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 2: it was unnecessary. Yeah, it's seven to seven, eight points 1435 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 2: is like, and I get it. We're gonna have to 1436 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 2: score a lot of points to win today. I do 1437 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 2: understand that mentality. You're gaining a yard. If you're gonna 1438 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 2: do that, just go forward for the two. 1439 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 16: Yeah. I hate the play call. 1440 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,640 Speaker 2: I mean I hated the play call. You're right about that. 1441 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 2: Why take the point off the board. It's seven to seven, 1442 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 2: That to me is and I love aggressive play. Aggressive 1443 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 2: play calling would have been you don't even try the 1444 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 2: pat you just line up and go for two. 1445 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1446 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,559 Speaker 2: At that point, I'm not taking the point off. It 1447 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 2: ended up not being that big of a deal. That 1448 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 2: to me was a little unnecessary. But the play call itself, 1449 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:47,720 Speaker 2: I could not agree more brutal. And I just would 1450 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,799 Speaker 2: that have been their two point try had it actually 1451 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,880 Speaker 2: mattered later in the game, right? Would that have been 1452 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 2: what they did? 1453 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 15: But again, to go back to the drive in question, 1454 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,400 Speaker 15: what are we talking about today? If the Jamar Chase 1455 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 15: thing doesn't happen, how do you burn those timeouts down eleven? 1456 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? To me, that's the bigger issue like that, Let's 1457 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 2: face it, the rest of the season is gonna be 1458 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 2: spent talking about what changes are made. Okay, Jamar Chase 1459 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 2: is gonna be here next year. I'm gonna guess he 1460 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 2: never spits at someone again. He did it. He's gonna 1461 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 2: get punished. Say what you want about Jamar. Steelers fans 1462 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 2: are gonna hate him, Bengals fans are gonna love him. 1463 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 2: I'm a Bengals fan. I love Jamar Chase. I don't 1464 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 2: condone what he did. The bigger issue is are you 1465 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 2: moving forward with this head coach? Well, right there, yesterday. Again, 1466 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 2: this isn't August, it's not even game number two. This 1467 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,160 Speaker 2: is coming out of a bye against the team you 1468 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 2: play twice a year every year, your season hanging in 1469 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,280 Speaker 2: the balance. You're down two scores, and early in the 1470 01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,799 Speaker 2: fourth quarter, you could not have looked less well put together. 1471 01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 2: You're unnecessarily burning timeouts. It looked like as poorly coached 1472 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 2: a sequence as we have seen. Look at that. That's 1473 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,479 Speaker 2: a snapshot right there. You want to move forward with 1474 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 2: this guy. Then you look at the roster, look at 1475 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 2: the defense. You want to move forward with the guy 1476 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 2: who put it together. You want to move forward with 1477 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 2: the guy who's coordinating it. You want to move forward 1478 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 2: with some of these players who can't tackle. The Jamar 1479 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,759 Speaker 2: Chase thing is an outlier. It's interesting. I get it. 1480 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 2: It's gonna divide people. People are getting pissed at the 1481 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 2: reporter who tweeted the video. Whatever. When you're done being 1482 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 2: mad at that, when we're done just yelling at each 1483 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,799 Speaker 2: other over that, let's talk about the thing that matters, 1484 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 2: and the things that matters are sequences like that. In 1485 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter yesterday, sequences like the end of the 1486 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 2: game with Al Golden's defense on the field, or the 1487 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,600 Speaker 2: overall roster construction which continues to prove to be bad. Ye, 1488 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 2: just downright bad. 1489 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,120 Speaker 15: That's why we go back to this thing we talked 1490 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 15: about earlier. The Jamar Chase thing is not the main 1491 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 15: storyline from the game yesterday, not even close. Nationally it 1492 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 15: will be. But if you watch that game, and you've 1493 01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,680 Speaker 15: watched this team all year, you down eleven in the 1494 01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,200 Speaker 15: fourth quarter of an NFL game with a backup quarterback 1495 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 15: playing against you, you burn two timeouts over a one 1496 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 15: place man, and then you took a delay a game 1497 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 15: a few plays later. You at no point acted with 1498 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 15: urgency and at no point acted with an aggression to say, 1499 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 15: screw it, I'm not leaving this up to a field goal. 1500 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 15: We're gonna be aggressive and go try to win a 1501 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 15: football game. That that type of mentality, I don't care 1502 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,759 Speaker 15: what he sits on the podium and says, locker rooms 1503 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 15: can see through that, players on the sideline can see 1504 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,360 Speaker 15: through that matter. Coach speak all you want. I've been 1505 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 15: in the locker room before, you could see through that stuff. 1506 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 15: And that the way that game was yesterday is more 1507 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 15: of an indictment on what Zach Taylor is right now 1508 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 15: as the coach as anything fair or not. You want 1509 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 15: to talk about, oh, they scored this, and whether they scored. 1510 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:55,839 Speaker 15: They shouldn't have lost to the Jets, and they shouldn't 1511 01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:57,640 Speaker 15: have lost to the Bears. Okay, but they did, but 1512 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 15: they did, and yesterday they shouldn't lost out football game. 1513 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 2: But see, like you could talk about, well, the Jets game, 1514 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,680 Speaker 2: they shouldn't have lost and it was an outlier, No, 1515 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 2: it wasn't. Defense couldn't get a stop. Well, yeah, but 1516 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,280 Speaker 2: the Bears game, boy, crazy stuff happened. Wasn't an outlier. 1517 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 2: Defense couldn't get a stop. And then again like they 1518 01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:21,600 Speaker 2: probably still would have lost. Joe Flacco was not great yesterday, 1519 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,640 Speaker 2: but it was out of a buy you and I 1520 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 2: think you know he's physically compromised. I think there's a 1521 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 2: lot of evidence to support that. 1522 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,479 Speaker 16: All right, shouldn't it be more buttoned up out of 1523 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 16: a bye? 1524 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,920 Speaker 2: Right? More buttoned up? And then again al Golden's defense 1525 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 2: again here it is fourth quarter, so many games this year, 1526 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 2: fourth quarter defense has a chance to make the difference, 1527 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 2: can't get it done. So miss me with that. Well, 1528 01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 2: the Jets game they shouldn't have lost, correct because they 1529 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,880 Speaker 2: shouldn't have this bad of a defense. Or the Bears 1530 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 2: game they shouldn't have lost, correct because they shouldn't have 1531 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 2: this bad of a defense. Or the Steelers game yesterday, 1532 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,879 Speaker 2: shouldn't have lost it by the margin they did, correct 1533 01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,559 Speaker 2: because the offense should be better coached, and because the 1534 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: defense shouldn't be this bad. This is who they are. 1535 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,600 Speaker 2: None of these losses are outliers. 1536 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 15: I'm glad that over the bye week the young guys 1537 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 15: got to do some practice and the veterans got some 1538 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 15: time off. Maybe during some of that time, though, you 1539 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,880 Speaker 15: could just have a meeting and say, hey, guys, there 1540 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 15: is a possibility that Pittsburgh changes things up from the 1541 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 15: first time we played him, just so we're aware, and 1542 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 15: let's spend a little time meeting this week. Don't have 1543 01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 15: to be on the field, just more mental stuff. What 1544 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 15: if they do play some zone coverage against us? The 1545 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,439 Speaker 15: team I watched yesterday looked ill prepared coming out of 1546 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,560 Speaker 15: a bye week against the team who no showed on 1547 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 15: Sunday Night football. The Steelers no showed on Sunday Night football. 1548 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 15: They didn't play well yesterday, and you let him off 1549 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 15: the hook, and you did so by acting. 1550 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 16: In which you didn't. 1551 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 15: You didn't show in your preparation that you thought they 1552 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,400 Speaker 15: were gonna run on his own, and it didn't look 1553 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 15: like he had an answer for it. For the half, 1554 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 15: no one was getting open. Charlie Goldsmith did a great 1555 01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 15: job today on his social media breaking down all the 1556 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,720 Speaker 15: different times that Jamar Chase was doubled and bracketed and 1557 01:14:58,760 --> 01:14:59,880 Speaker 15: all this stuff. 1558 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:00,599 Speaker 16: That's the case. 1559 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 15: One find other ways to get Jamar Chase the ball, 1560 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 15: find other ways in your formation, which we've discussed time 1561 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,720 Speaker 15: and again on this show or two. If they're going 1562 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 15: to use two guys every time on Jamar Chase, then 1563 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 15: we're gonna let other guys feast. Did we see any 1564 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 15: of that yesterday? 1565 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:14,599 Speaker 2: No? 1566 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 15: No, they looked ill prepared coming out of a bye 1567 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 15: week on what many considered to be yesterday a must 1568 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 15: win game for their season. 1569 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,640 Speaker 2: Right So, there, for me is the question when it 1570 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 2: comes to Zach Taylor, not what did you do four 1571 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,160 Speaker 2: years ago? Do the Bengals right now look well coached? 1572 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 2: If the answer is no, how do you not wonder 1573 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 2: who should be next?

You just heard it there in the 1622 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,120 Speaker 2: top of the hour if you didn't know, Jamar Chase 1623 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 2: has been given a one game suspension by the NFL. 1624 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:31,000 Speaker 2: This originally reported by Ian Rappaport. So no, Jamar, but 1625 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 2: you said to me during the break something that I 1626 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,560 Speaker 2: think is worth keeping in mind. The Bengals have in 1627 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 2: their back pocket for the game against the Patriots Jermaine Burton. 1628 01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 15: Oh so remember him? No Jermaine Burton game? Not really, 1629 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 15: will Jermaine Burton be active? 1630 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 16: No, that's insane. I mean, that would be insane. 1631 01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 2: Why would I expect them to be right just because 1632 01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 2: they're down a guy? 1633 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 15: I mean, I think that's that's the understand expectation. 1634 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 16: I'm just. 1635 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 15: Thinking of the logistics. You took him in the third 1636 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 15: round last year. You and I thought during training camp 1637 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 15: he looked good. He's now been non existent. He's missed 1638 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 15: some time due to illness and some other different things. 1639 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 15: And now Jamar Chase, at least now he is. He 1640 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,040 Speaker 15: is appealing the one game suspension, but as of now, 1641 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 15: Jamar Chase is not playing on Sunday. If not, now 1642 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 15: why are you holding on to him on the roster? 1643 01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:33,400 Speaker 15: Why is he occupying a roster spot. By the way, 1644 01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 15: the one game suspension, the line has gone from seven 1645 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:41,519 Speaker 15: to nine and a half. I don't think so. To me, 1646 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:46,560 Speaker 15: the video evidence is pretty clear. If you are suspending 1647 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 15: him because he's spit on Jalen Ramsey, I don't know 1648 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,760 Speaker 15: what that video would tell you or appeal would tell 1649 01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 15: you about what would make that okay or how you 1650 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:57,040 Speaker 15: would win the appeal. 1651 01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 16: So now I don't think he would win it. 1652 01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 2: Well, good luck to him. I don't think he will. 1653 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,639 Speaker 2: But if he does miss the game, you could always 1654 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,640 Speaker 2: rely on is it eighty one? Brady one? Is Jon? 1655 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:11,280 Speaker 16: This is his week? 1656 01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 2: This is it, this is the one, this is the 1657 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 2: week where he's like you know what's the reason why 1658 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,280 Speaker 2: you guys drafted me. I'm sure by then he'll be 1659 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 2: over the flu or the cold, or you know, whatever 1660 01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 2: he's dealing with. 1661 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,840 Speaker 15: They are desperately missing that position though, no doubt, like 1662 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,920 Speaker 15: the answer that we've seen in previous weeks, bracketing Jamar 1663 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 15: bracketing team. Like Joe Flacco has even said before, like 1664 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 15: I've never been around anywhere where both I have two 1665 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,600 Speaker 15: receivers getting doubled. Well, that just screams out something to me. 1666 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 15: Of the number three needs to be more productive Like 1667 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,519 Speaker 15: Tyler Boyd in his prime, productive would have been perfect. 1668 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:48,760 Speaker 15: And that's what Jermaine Burton had the chance to be. 1669 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 15: Yoshi's good, but he he's not. There's limitations, you know 1670 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 15: what he is. He's not going to stretch the field. 1671 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,720 Speaker 15: He's not going to provide that for you. What a 1672 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 15: gold opportunity when you have two guys that get double 1673 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 15: teams to just win one on one battles against bad 1674 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 15: cover guys and put up insane numbers. 1675 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 2: So the first thing that has to happen is you 1676 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 2: have to dress for the game. 1677 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 15: Well before that, you have to be at the facility 1678 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,160 Speaker 15: on time. Okay, you gotta do that, can't miss meetings, 1679 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 15: Gotta do that, got to practice, gotta do that, get healthy, 1680 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 15: gotta do that. And then based on your body of 1681 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 15: work during the week, it would be determined if you'll 1682 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 15: dress in the game. 1683 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 2: Okay, then you do that, and then you successfully dress 1684 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,960 Speaker 2: and get to the sideline by one o'clock on Sunday. 1685 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 15: What would the other option be, Charlie Jones gets more 1686 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:40,360 Speaker 15: reps of receiving US. 1687 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I would consider the possibility of them grabbing 1688 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,799 Speaker 2: a street free agent right now before I would Jermain Burton. 1689 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 2: That is an exaggeration, but I think it's meant to 1690 01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 2: illustrate how insanely out of favor he has fallen and 1691 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 2: how bad of a pick he has turned out to be, 1692 01:21:58,520 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 2: at least to this point. 1693 01:21:59,560 --> 01:21:59,720 Speaker 16: Yep. 1694 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 15: And that's again an indictment that comes back on I 1695 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 15: would imagine Duke Tobin. 1696 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 2: Last week, the story was of Joe Burrow coming back 1697 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,519 Speaker 2: to practice, and you know it elicited his shoulder shrug 1698 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 2: for two reasons. One, hey, the team's not very good. 1699 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 2: He doesn't play defense. Number two, the offense is fine. 1700 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,720 Speaker 2: Did yesterday prove to you that Joe Burrow is better 1701 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 2: than Joe Flacco. 1702 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:31,040 Speaker 16: Yes, yes, I think we could put that to bed. 1703 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 16: I am. 1704 01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 15: I am today in full confidence going out on a limb. Yeah, 1705 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,759 Speaker 15: and I'll say that Joe Burrow is a better quarterback 1706 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,439 Speaker 15: than Joe Flackell. And you could quote that. Okay, clip it, 1707 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,479 Speaker 15: quote it, do whatever you want with it. Sure, but 1708 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 15: I'll put that out there. So I'm gonna get crushed 1709 01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:47,600 Speaker 15: for that. 1710 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 2: He I know it's a hot take. They come, he 1711 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 2: comes back to practice and you know we're all doing 1712 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 2: the well, you know, you know, get this one against Pittsburgh, 1713 01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,639 Speaker 2: you've beaten them already, and then you know the Patriots game. 1714 01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 2: Tough putt, but but it is going to be here. 1715 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 2: You know, get to Thanksgiving at five and six, game 1716 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:09,679 Speaker 2: on divisions winnable. Yeah, you'll have Burrow back. Does losing 1717 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 2: yesterday affect at all what you would do with Joe Burrow? 1718 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 2: Joe is gonna wanna play, Yeah, and he's gonna want 1719 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 2: to play. He's gonna want to play as soon as 1720 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,679 Speaker 2: next Thursday. And I just asked you this off air. 1721 01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 2: If we find out something's up with Joe Flacco, who 1722 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 2: has been on the injury report the last couple of 1723 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 2: weeks he's gonna be on it this week he was 1724 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:33,719 Speaker 2: clearly I think, uh favoring you know, the shoulder yesterday. 1725 01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 2: Do you accelerate that timeline or does losing the game 1726 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 2: make you go, you know what, we're just gonna put 1727 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 2: him on ice. 1728 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,679 Speaker 15: I would put him on ice, I know. And I've 1729 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,639 Speaker 15: listened to arguments on why you do play him, and 1730 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 15: Charlie Goldsmith brought up a good one last Friday of 1731 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 15: if you don't play him this year and you go 1732 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 15: back to him kind of last year touch down the stretch. 1733 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,240 Speaker 15: I mean you're missing a lot of time mm hm 1734 01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 15: based on when he's been available versus not available. But 1735 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:08,719 Speaker 15: I contend with his left toe injury that doing anything 1736 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:12,640 Speaker 15: under center would be extremely difficult to pivot and push 1737 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 15: in the extent that you have to push off away 1738 01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 15: from center, which means I would assume more shotgun, and 1739 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,919 Speaker 15: we have not seen the same ability from the offensive 1740 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 15: line or the run game to be successful out of 1741 01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 15: strictly shotgun. If he's going to play, to me, it 1742 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 15: would be no limitations being free to go under center. 1743 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 15: As much as Joe Flacco one can his toe do 1744 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,800 Speaker 15: that too? Does he even want to do that, And 1745 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,600 Speaker 15: if the question to either one of those is know, 1746 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,720 Speaker 15: then you can't put him out there, regardless of how 1747 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 15: much he wants to play. And I get it, he's 1748 01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:52,320 Speaker 15: the quarterback. He's paid a lot of money. Sure, is 1749 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 15: this team going anywhere this year? 1750 01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 1751 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 16: Does he have an injury history? 1752 01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm not going to risk it healthy. 1753 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 16: We'll see in twenty twenty six. 1754 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,519 Speaker 2: I expect him to play in any game where the 1755 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 2: Bengals are playing with a mathematical chance of making the postseason. 1756 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 2: I expect that, and I understand it, and that doesn't 1757 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 2: bother me. 1758 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:11,800 Speaker 16: What about the look of it? 1759 01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,760 Speaker 15: What if they lose by twenty one on Sunday and 1760 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 15: they're now three and eight, and here you go, you 1761 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:19,639 Speaker 15: get the Baltimore Ravens. 1762 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,840 Speaker 2: Realistically, for me, I'd put him on ice right now. 1763 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,679 Speaker 2: I will at least accept. Look, as long as there's 1764 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 2: not an X next to our name in the standings, 1765 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 2: we have a shot. Even if it's an extraordinary attempt 1766 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,759 Speaker 2: at defind the odds, We're gonna play him. Okay, Fine, 1767 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 2: if you are playing games against the Miami Dolphins and 1768 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns and you mathematically have no 1769 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 2: chance it. It makes no sense at all to have 1770 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. 1771 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,960 Speaker 15: Playing against Cleveland with Miles Garrett going for thirty. 1772 01:25:59,400 --> 01:25:59,599 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1773 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:02,040 Speaker 16: No, Miles Garrett had four on Lamar yesterday. 1774 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 2: I respect the hell out of Joe Burrow wanting to play. 1775 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 16: Sure. 1776 01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,360 Speaker 2: I respect the hell out of the Bengals going. You 1777 01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 2: know what, we want the example set by guys who 1778 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,640 Speaker 2: go screw it. I'm fighting, I'm playing. I get that 1779 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 2: raw ross stuff, I really do. I respect the hell 1780 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 2: out of a guy making fifty million dollars a year 1781 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,200 Speaker 2: going screw it. I want to play no matter what. 1782 01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 2: He is the most important investment in the history of 1783 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,679 Speaker 2: Cincinnati sports, as we have seen the last couple of years. 1784 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 2: If Joe Burrow goes away, this all falls apart. It 1785 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 2: is a house of cards. Why would I do anything 1786 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 2: that at all jeopardizes the meal ticket, the investment playing 1787 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:48,080 Speaker 2: him in games that matter that don't matter, not only 1788 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 2: to the Bengals, but don't don't matter to anybody else. 1789 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:51,560 Speaker 2: The Miamy Dolphins are not going to be in the 1790 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:52,760 Speaker 2: playoff hunt. They played better. 1791 01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 15: Here's a Cardinals are going to be in the playoff hunt. 1792 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,360 Speaker 2: He did and they lost. The Brent like you even 1793 01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 2: sell me on it. Hey, look, they're playing a game 1794 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,560 Speaker 2: against the team that's in the hunt and the integrity 1795 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 2: of the league. I don't love that. But okay, if 1796 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,479 Speaker 2: you're playing in games that don't matter at all and 1797 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:16,920 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is taking snaps, that is just irresponsible. It's careless. 1798 01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,640 Speaker 2: Just I get the raw rass stuff. I get the 1799 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,120 Speaker 2: well players play. They want to play, They want to 1800 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,680 Speaker 2: be out there. If I say that to you as 1801 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 2: he is being carted off, are you gonna go here? No? 1802 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 15: You think him being out there, You think the guys 1803 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 15: on the defense will be like, man, he's tough and through, 1804 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 15: we're gonna take it easy. No, they want to hit 1805 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:37,840 Speaker 15: him a hundred times. 1806 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 1807 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 16: They want to they want to to pound him into 1808 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 16: the ground. Mm hmm. 1809 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 15: So again, I appreciate it, Like I know, I know 1810 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 15: the physical and mental toll of the work it takes 1811 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,920 Speaker 15: to get back after an injury, and for him, with 1812 01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,679 Speaker 15: how many times he's done it, I can't imagine mentally 1813 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 15: what it is. Right, But you still have to act 1814 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 15: in his best interest. Someone has to acting his best 1815 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 15: interest because as a competitor, he's always gonna want to play. Yeah, 1816 01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,680 Speaker 15: someone has to have his back and say I get it, 1817 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 15: but you're not doing it this year. 1818 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,360 Speaker 16: Can hate us for it. You're our ticket. 1819 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,200 Speaker 15: The only way we're going to be back in this 1820 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:21,200 Speaker 15: super Bowl window is if you're the guy. Not you 1821 01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:25,560 Speaker 15: sidelined at times throughout the year. You playing in seventeen 1822 01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:29,000 Speaker 15: games is the only way we get back there. That's 1823 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:30,800 Speaker 15: a hard conversation to have with a guy who wants 1824 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 15: to get out there. I get it, but that's part 1825 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 15: about being a professional organization as well. Yeah, and running 1826 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,880 Speaker 15: a business. That's your business, that's your ticket. He doesn't 1827 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:42,040 Speaker 15: help you when he's on the sideline. 1828 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:46,640 Speaker 2: And I believe Joe Burrow, if he might not like it, 1829 01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 2: would at least understand it. You can understand something and 1830 01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 2: not like it, And I would be willing to bet 1831 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow would go I wish I was out there. 1832 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 2: If we're up to me, I'd be out there. I 1833 01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 2: don't like your decision, but I respect it. At the 1834 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,320 Speaker 2: end of the day, you're acting within the organizations and 1835 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 2: my best interest. 1836 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 15: You imagine how you're cringing every time he would get hit. 1837 01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,280 Speaker 15: I know what we did that all last year, the 1838 01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:14,759 Speaker 15: preseason correct. I watched Shamar Stewart actually hit a quarterback 1839 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 15: in the preseason. Jamar Stewart, remember when he hit Joe 1840 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,440 Speaker 15: Burrow of practice. We all got worried for a second. 1841 01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 16: That guy. It's just I again. 1842 01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 15: I respect the heck out of Joe Burrow for trying 1843 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:29,200 Speaker 15: to get back, yes, and for making it a point. 1844 01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,799 Speaker 15: And if this team had taken care of business against 1845 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 15: the Jets and the Bears, then we're like, let's go 1846 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,400 Speaker 15: get him back now. Because you're playing for something, You're 1847 01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,479 Speaker 15: not playing for anything anymore. Let's talk about these Is 1848 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,640 Speaker 15: Trey Hendrickson gonna play again this year? Who do you 1849 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 15: think he plays another snap? That that week to week 1850 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:51,600 Speaker 15: injury man anytime, anytime. The coach who's very close to 1851 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 15: the vest as Zach Taylor Monday the last couple weeks, doubtful, doubtful, well, 1852 01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 15: just very very cut and dry. 1853 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,880 Speaker 2: It doubtful week, but now it's being reported it was 1854 01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:04,360 Speaker 2: a back. Now it's a hip, but now it's a 1855 01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 2: sports hernia. He's weak to week, but he's gonna need surgery. 1856 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,479 Speaker 15: Does week to week allow him? Does the injury allow him? 1857 01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 15: On an airplane? 1858 01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:17,360 Speaker 2: I think you're allowed to fly Okay, I've never had 1859 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,560 Speaker 2: a back injury, hip injury, or sports sports hernia. I 1860 01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:22,680 Speaker 2: can't even say it, but I think I would be 1861 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:23,280 Speaker 2: allowed on an. 1862 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 15: Airplane, especially a more comfortable one traveling in He's the captain. 1863 01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,960 Speaker 15: We got one captain that spitting on folks, and we 1864 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:34,600 Speaker 15: got another captain who just don't want to be on 1865 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 15: the field, and another one finding like hell to get 1866 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:39,320 Speaker 15: back on the field and play for nothing. 1867 01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:44,280 Speaker 2: Got Jamaine Burton, McKinley Jackson. 1868 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 16: We got some third rounders. 1869 01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:48,599 Speaker 2: This is an absolutely, this is worse than the nineties, 1870 01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:50,599 Speaker 2: by the way, just fine. I've heard a lot of well, 1871 01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 2: this is the nineties, you didn't have a quarterback, so, 1872 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 2: like you know, for they have the most important position solved. 1873 01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,599 Speaker 2: I mean, at least they have a good player at 1874 01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 2: that position. Can never keep him healthy. That's what makes 1875 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:08,600 Speaker 2: this worse. Like when when you're bad and David Klingler's 1876 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,680 Speaker 2: playing quarterback for you, or he's my second all time 1877 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,519 Speaker 2: favorite Bengal, but Jeff Blake is playing quarterback for you, 1878 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,000 Speaker 2: or you're trying to talk yourself into Neil O'Donnell, like 1879 01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:21,719 Speaker 2: that's one thing. You have Joe Burrow and you're still 1880 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 2: gonna miss the postseason for a third consecutive year. This 1881 01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 2: is worse than the nineties. 1882 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:30,160 Speaker 16: Yeah, this is worse Super Bowl. 1883 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 2: Yes, And when they didn't win the game, we all said, 1884 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,679 Speaker 2: you know what, the good times are just getting started. 1885 01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:40,559 Speaker 2: When are the good times coming back?

He 1923 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 2: still wants to play because I'm not sure he can 1924 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,639 Speaker 2: go a Sunday without giving the snake eye. You're looking 1925 01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,240 Speaker 2: exasperated at the guys he's throwing bad passes to. 1926 01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's always someone else's fault. Never Aaron Rodgers fault correct, 1927 01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 15: which is insane to watch.

Yeah, give me three off. 1941 01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:18,360 Speaker 16: I want to throw Drake May in there right now, 1942 01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:19,200 Speaker 16: you know, and risk and. 1943 01:34:19,240 --> 01:34:24,320 Speaker 2: Injury the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to the Athletics Playoffs simulator, 1944 01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:28,519 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh leads the division, yet right now they believe the 1945 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 2: Steelers only have a twenty eight percent chance of making 1946 01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:32,760 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I don't think they're good. 1947 01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:37,639 Speaker 15: I don't either. I I just don't see it. Outside 1948 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 15: of DK Metcalf, I don't think there's many weapons that. 1949 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 2: Worry or Washington. 1950 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 15: I mean, unless that's gonna become a thing again. Tight 1951 01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,600 Speaker 15: ends against the Bengals right make careers. So no, I 1952 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:53,920 Speaker 15: don't think Pittsburgh's good. It is interesting when you talk 1953 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,960 Speaker 15: about team's position to make the playoffs. 1954 01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:57,559 Speaker 16: As we sit here. 1955 01:34:57,479 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 15: Right now, the Lions are out of the playoffs and 1956 01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,719 Speaker 15: the Chiefs are out of the playoffs, and the Ravens 1957 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:03,120 Speaker 15: are out of the playoffs. 1958 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:02,880 Speaker 12: Ye. 1959 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:04,160 Speaker 16: Interesting. 1960 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:10,440 Speaker 2: So Baltimore wasn't great yesterday. Shadora Sanders was worse. Ravens survived. 1961 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 2: They've won four straight games, odds on favorite to win 1962 01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,840 Speaker 2: the division. They're giving up a lot of sacks. That 1963 01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,120 Speaker 2: won't be a huge issue against the Bengals because they 1964 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,400 Speaker 2: barely ever get after the quarterback of though Miles Murphy 1965 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 2: played an okay game yesterday. I feel like with the Chiefs, 1966 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,840 Speaker 2: nobody wants to admit with their eyes see, they're not 1967 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:28,840 Speaker 2: a very good football team. 1968 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,479 Speaker 16: They're just not. They have flaws, right, They're not good. 1969 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,719 Speaker 15: They don't like the thing with the Chiefs in years past, 1970 01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:36,559 Speaker 15: like they struck fear in you. 1971 01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:39,680 Speaker 16: Yes, you don't really fear that team anymore. 1972 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:42,160 Speaker 2: And I would have said that about last year's team, 1973 01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:44,280 Speaker 2: which won a bunch of games close and again like 1974 01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 2: trust your eyes, like watch the games. There's the brand 1975 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 2: and the reputation, and then there's what they're putting on 1976 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,640 Speaker 2: the field. Now, what they're putting on the field is 1977 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 2: good enough to maybe be a playoff team if they 1978 01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:01,160 Speaker 2: can leave frog a few squads. It does not feel 1979 01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 2: like they're capable of winning a championship. 1980 01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,960 Speaker 15: No, that's not a title team this year, which is 1981 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,840 Speaker 15: crazy because last week they still had the highest odds 1982 01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 15: to win the title. 1983 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:11,440 Speaker 2: There's still I think fourth right, which is insane. 1984 01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, going back to just last week. One other thing 1985 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:19,040 Speaker 15: you mentioned the Ravens Miles Garrett four more sacks yesterday. Yeah, 1986 01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:22,320 Speaker 15: he's gonna have like twenty five sacks this year. He's unbelievable. 1987 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:26,479 Speaker 15: And if Shador Sanders doesn't play again, his career stat 1988 01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:30,160 Speaker 15: line will be lower than my career stat line. So 1989 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,439 Speaker 15: you're rooting for him to never never see the field 1990 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 15: again again. Less yards turnover margin is worse. Chador didn't 1991 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:39,360 Speaker 15: look good yesterday Shador. 1992 01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:40,720 Speaker 2: Was the opposite of what he was when he made 1993 01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:44,080 Speaker 2: his preseason debut, where you watch that and you thought, God, 1994 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,080 Speaker 2: this guy looked ready for the moment. He did not 1995 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,920 Speaker 2: look ready for the moment yesterday and his I think 1996 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,400 Speaker 2: his coaching to a degree was complicit with it. But 1997 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 2: Stefanska in Cleveland took a lot of heat for giving 1998 01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 2: all the first team reps to Dylan Gabriel because he's 1999 01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,679 Speaker 2: trying to get that quarterback and it experienced quarterback ready 2000 01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,160 Speaker 2: for that week's game. That said Shidora Sanders, when the 2001 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:04,719 Speaker 2: moment met him, he didn't meet the moment. 2002 01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,040 Speaker 15: You think the Browns and Bengals are playing something, playing 2003 01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:10,880 Speaker 15: for something in the final week draft positioning, right, how 2004 01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 15: high of draft positioning? 2005 01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,640 Speaker 2: You know, That's that's kind of the key question right now. 2006 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,160 Speaker 16: It's it's just weird. 2007 01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:22,640 Speaker 15: The AFC is bizarre, right, Like I'm still I know 2008 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 15: they've won a lot of football games. I'm not sold 2009 01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,800 Speaker 15: on Denver yet. Like they're finding ways to win, but 2010 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 15: they're not dominant in the way they win. 2011 01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:33,040 Speaker 2: No. 2012 01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,120 Speaker 16: New England and Indy. 2013 01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,080 Speaker 2: But do you need to be dominant in the way 2014 01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 2: you win Kansas City last year? 2015 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,480 Speaker 15: But they have the track record of doing that. Mahomes, 2016 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,800 Speaker 15: you know, is bow Nicks the guy. Like the top 2017 01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 15: three teams in the AFC, Denver, New England, Indy. Who 2018 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:52,640 Speaker 15: are you most confident in bow next, Daniel Jones or 2019 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:53,400 Speaker 15: Drake may. 2020 01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,560 Speaker 2: Well. I think Drake may is the better of the three. 2021 01:37:57,680 --> 01:37:59,639 Speaker 2: I still believe enough in Denver's defense. 2022 01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:04,599 Speaker 15: But it's like Buffalo showed me something yesterday. Sure, Josh Allen, 2023 01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,599 Speaker 15: Josh Allen, Chargers got boat raced. 2024 01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:08,960 Speaker 2: Offensive line is a mess. 2025 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:10,559 Speaker 16: It's just it's got to catch up to him at 2026 01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 16: some point. 2027 01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:13,320 Speaker 2: Not having the two starting tackles has caught up to him. 2028 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:17,240 Speaker 15: Jacksonville maybe showed that they have stay in power. Davis 2029 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:19,240 Speaker 15: Mills has got Houston surviving. 2030 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,720 Speaker 2: I think suddenly Houston Buffalo on Thursday is a really 2031 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 2: sneaky fund. 2032 01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:24,519 Speaker 16: Absolutely yeah. 2033 01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:27,240 Speaker 15: And then again like Miami's won two in a row 2034 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,639 Speaker 15: since they've made a change, and within the organization, Kansas 2035 01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 15: City Baltimore on the outside looking in AFC is just 2036 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:35,840 Speaker 15: a is a weird spot right now. 2037 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,479 Speaker 2: The game that we were all looking forward to yesterday 2038 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,799 Speaker 2: was ram Seahawks where Sam Donald throws a bunch of picks. 2039 01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,760 Speaker 2: LA's offense wasn't at its best. It's still a top 2040 01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,519 Speaker 2: five team both offensive efficiency and defense. 2041 01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 15: I don't know if it said more about the Rams 2042 01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 15: or the Seahawks that Donald threw four picks and it was. 2043 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:53,559 Speaker 16: That close two point game. 2044 01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2045 01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:55,879 Speaker 16: I like a lot about the Seahawks. 2046 01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:58,040 Speaker 15: I like a lot about the Rams and the Rams. Yeah, 2047 01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,519 Speaker 15: I thought Tampa, even in a loss, showed something. Yes, 2048 01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:01,920 Speaker 15: they're eventually gonna get healthier. 2049 01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,680 Speaker 2: How about the Philadelphia Eagles defense last night? 2050 01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, if you liked about games holding opponents under ten. 2051 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 2: If you don't watch the games, and if you don't 2052 01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:15,200 Speaker 2: pay attention to the standings and you listen to how 2053 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 2: people talk about the Eagles, you would think they have 2054 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:22,599 Speaker 2: the Bengals record. It feels like there's NonStop discord. There's 2055 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 2: NonStop talk of underachievement, NonStop j Brown consistency. People don't 2056 01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 2: like Nick Sirianni. I don't know, man, All that dude 2057 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:37,920 Speaker 2: does is win. They made Jared Goff look terrible last night. Yeah, 2058 01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 2: Like I understand, offensively, there are some things you don't 2059 01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:44,120 Speaker 2: quite trust. But oh boy, their defense. 2060 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 15: Good team, man, and they keep adding to it as well, 2061 01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,240 Speaker 15: so you know they they like the NFC is just 2062 01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,840 Speaker 15: so bizarre to me. There are so many contenders. I 2063 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 15: feel like sure, like I still think Detroit to a contender. 2064 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:57,240 Speaker 2: Offensively, there's still a world talent. 2065 01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:00,800 Speaker 15: Like brock Party looked ridiculous yesterday. 2066 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 16: There they are sneaky good. 2067 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:04,760 Speaker 15: The first three weeks of the year, Green Bay was 2068 01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,639 Speaker 15: the team and now they're just like quietly flying under 2069 01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:11,679 Speaker 15: the radar, not winning impressively, but still finding wins. Josh 2070 01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 15: Wiley catch a touchdown pass yesterday, but man Bears, Bears 2071 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 15: have seven wins. 2072 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:18,640 Speaker 2: Find a way to do it. 2073 01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:20,960 Speaker 15: They find a way like Ben Johnson like, find a 2074 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:22,840 Speaker 15: way to do it. And the NFC is so fun. 2075 01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:23,280 Speaker 2: It is. 2076 01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:24,559 Speaker 16: NFC is fun this year. 2077 01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, no, no question about it.

And again it's not gonna be a clone. 2083 01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,240 Speaker 2: Plenty of people have tried to hire Bill Belichick assistance 2084 01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:51,040 Speaker 2: and it hasn't worked out. But as I've got Duke 2085 01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:54,240 Speaker 2: Tobin sitting around signing dudes like Geno Stone and not 2086 01:40:54,360 --> 01:41:00,759 Speaker 2: addressing his defense.

Don't picking up the scheme? Does he look 2118 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:17,800 Speaker 15: like a guy he's picking up the scheme? 2119 01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 2: No. I tell you what. I feel bad for Barrett 2120 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 2: Carter because I thought of. 2121 01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:24,919 Speaker 15: Nick Vigil, Dude, Nick Vigil, him trying to cover Gainwell. 2122 01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:29,919 Speaker 15: Like I I got into the studio today and Seg Dennison. 2123 01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,200 Speaker 15: I told Seg, Seg could have covered Gainwell better on 2124 01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:32,559 Speaker 15: that ploy. 2125 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 2: Well, the thing is that wasn't even his worst, no moment. No, 2126 01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,200 Speaker 2: Darnell Washington, who, by the way, looked like you ever 2127 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,400 Speaker 2: seen like sometimes you'll see highlights and it's like an 2128 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:42,280 Speaker 2: eighth grade kid. 2129 01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 15: Yes, you're like that kid can't be an eighth grade 2130 01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 15: and he can't be an eighth grade certificate, just like 2131 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:51,080 Speaker 15: Dragon dudes with him. Darnell Washington. Yeah, the biggest tight 2132 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:54,080 Speaker 15: end I've ever seen doing that yesterday. So Nick Vigil 2133 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:57,559 Speaker 15: ended up having a pretty nice NFL career. Yeah, But 2134 01:42:57,600 --> 01:42:59,000 Speaker 15: when you say Nick Vigil, I. 2135 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,000 Speaker 16: Think the Lamar Jack and spend just. 2136 01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,720 Speaker 2: Undressing him at midfield in two thousand. 2137 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:04,439 Speaker 16: And the MVP video. 2138 01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:08,400 Speaker 2: Yes, Barrett Carter may end up being a terrific player. 2139 01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:11,960 Speaker 2: There's been nothing so far to suggest that that is 2140 01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,880 Speaker 2: a very distinct possibility. But I will at least allow 2141 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:17,960 Speaker 2: for it fifteen twenty years from now. When you say 2142 01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,280 Speaker 2: Barrett Carter, I ain't gonna think of Darnell Washington just 2143 01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,240 Speaker 2: abusing that dude. Yeah, on a day that was otherwise 2144 01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:25,800 Speaker 2: not great on film for Barret Carter. 2145 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:31,880 Speaker 15: Yeah, not good. A long line of the same, just 2146 01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:36,519 Speaker 15: not good all the way around. My goodness, he looked 2147 01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:42,719 Speaker 15: I'm not kidding that first touchdown. It wasn't like gain well, 2148 01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 15: like stuttered. No, it wasn't like he ran like a 2149 01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 15: choice route. No, just simple right out of the backfield, 2150 01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,320 Speaker 15: and it looked like he was stuck in mud like man, 2151 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,760 Speaker 15: those field conditions must be rough in Pittsburgh, That's how 2152 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:55,360 Speaker 15: bad it was. 2153 01:43:57,680 --> 01:43:59,320 Speaker 2: We've arrived at the point of the show where we 2154 01:43:59,360 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 2: have to talk about. 2155 01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:03,120 Speaker 15: But this has been fun Nippert Stadium.

We got about 2209 01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:11,680 Speaker 2: nine minutes to go. We have talked about a lot 2210 01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:14,920 Speaker 2: of different issues, most of them as they relate to 2211 01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 2: the Bengals in the NFL, we have not yet discussed 2212 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,840 Speaker 2: what happened at Knippert Stadium on Saturday. I had a 2213 01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:23,160 Speaker 2: bad feeling about this game. I had a worse feeling 2214 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 2: midway through the second quarter when it felt like the 2215 01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:32,000 Speaker 2: Bearcats had a lead that was very tenuous, and Arizona's 2216 01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:36,280 Speaker 2: missing field goals and they're not finishing drives, and yet 2217 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:38,600 Speaker 2: every time the Bearcats would get the ball back with 2218 01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:43,240 Speaker 2: the lead, they couldn't build upon it. I felt bad 2219 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:46,000 Speaker 2: then I felt worse after the game, And I think 2220 01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,120 Speaker 2: what has happened now is we've gone from talking about 2221 01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:50,840 Speaker 2: whether or not they could play for a Big twelve 2222 01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:54,840 Speaker 2: championship to now wondering if this year is gonna mirror 2223 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,599 Speaker 2: last year where they lose their last four. They will 2224 01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:00,880 Speaker 2: play in a ball game this year, will they lose 2225 01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:03,400 Speaker 2: their last five which is what happened last year. 2226 01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:08,639 Speaker 15: Yeah, there are so many correlations to that spiral last 2227 01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,360 Speaker 15: year that you find this year. Quarterback play in the 2228 01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,840 Speaker 15: last two games has taken a significant step back. The 2229 01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:18,519 Speaker 15: defense doesn't make the plays when they need it. But 2230 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:20,880 Speaker 15: to your point, I think the first thing I said 2231 01:48:20,880 --> 01:48:22,080 Speaker 15: to you when I got in the press box on 2232 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:25,479 Speaker 15: Saturday was something just doesn't feel right. Yeah, it just 2233 01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:31,000 Speaker 15: felt quiet, lack of energy over the course of the 2234 01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:34,559 Speaker 15: bye week, and all anyone asked me was about BYU. 2235 01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,720 Speaker 15: And the more you sat back and watched Arizona and 2236 01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:39,320 Speaker 15: looked at what they'd done, it's like, this is a 2237 01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:43,000 Speaker 15: good team that's coming in. It's a good quarterback. Defense 2238 01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:46,240 Speaker 15: had twelve interceptions coming into the game, led the Big Twelve. 2239 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,719 Speaker 15: They were top ten in multiple categories nationwide in defense, 2240 01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,880 Speaker 15: especially against the pass, and to me, the troubling part 2241 01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:59,040 Speaker 15: has been the lack of this team to adjust to 2242 01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:02,280 Speaker 15: man coverage. Nebraska ran a lot of it, Utah ran 2243 01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,040 Speaker 15: a lot of it. Arizona ran a lot of it. 2244 01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,519 Speaker 15: No answers. Those have been their three worst games, and 2245 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,600 Speaker 15: it's arguably been against the three teams that have have 2246 01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:12,960 Speaker 15: been the best competition. That, to me is concerned. But 2247 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 15: to your point, it was weird because you couldn't have 2248 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:20,000 Speaker 15: started worse. The interception on the first play. Arizona scores 2249 01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,200 Speaker 15: two plays later, but then you see picks himself back up. 2250 01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:27,280 Speaker 15: They go down the field and score. They're running at will. 2251 01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:29,320 Speaker 15: They go down and score again. It's fourteen to seven, 2252 01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:33,040 Speaker 15: and then the defense got four straight stops four times 2253 01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:35,719 Speaker 15: Brendan Soarsby, and that offense got the ball to fourteen 2254 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,160 Speaker 15: to seven lead and did nothing with it. And at 2255 01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,720 Speaker 15: that point you kind of felt like ruined missed opportunity 2256 01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:47,040 Speaker 15: to put a team multiple scores down at home early start, 2257 01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,680 Speaker 15: a lot of things going against them. You missed that opportunity. 2258 01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,799 Speaker 15: And as the game went on, and as the defense 2259 01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:56,559 Speaker 15: failed to get the stops needed, and as Sowersby struggled 2260 01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:59,760 Speaker 15: at times with the interceptions, it just felt like it 2261 01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:04,640 Speaker 15: was kind of caving in. And I looked at you 2262 01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,240 Speaker 15: a couple of times. It's a couple of instances third 2263 01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:12,200 Speaker 15: down and five, third and seven, and the Bearcats are 2264 01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,400 Speaker 15: playing ten yards of cushion. Yeah, Like the biggest play 2265 01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:16,760 Speaker 15: in the game was a third and five and there 2266 01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:18,360 Speaker 15: are ten yards off and it was an easy pitch 2267 01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:19,400 Speaker 15: and catch to the outside. 2268 01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:20,439 Speaker 2: I don't understand. 2269 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:24,040 Speaker 15: They've made the same mistakes on defense all year. Their 2270 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 15: corners do not get their head around, And now what 2271 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,240 Speaker 15: are you seeing. Teams that are capable in the passing 2272 01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,200 Speaker 15: game are just doing that, Like they're not getting beat 2273 01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:36,160 Speaker 15: with elaborate concepts. It's go routes that either result in 2274 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:39,200 Speaker 15: a catch or a penalty, but the inability to beat 2275 01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:42,840 Speaker 15: man to man coverage is staggering to me for the 2276 01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:48,160 Speaker 15: Cincinnati Bearcats. And if you don't think BYU is gonna 2277 01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,439 Speaker 15: watch that and bring their physical style of play to 2278 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:54,040 Speaker 15: do the same thing, you better have an answer for that. 2279 01:50:56,280 --> 01:51:01,519 Speaker 2: So two different things here. One strategically, Cincinnati runs the 2280 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:06,240 Speaker 2: ball really well early and then Arizona basically says you're 2281 01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:09,160 Speaker 2: not going to run it, we dare you to throw. 2282 01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:15,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, Tony that in a competitive situation, not 2283 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:18,360 Speaker 2: a blowout where a team has no choice but to pass, 2284 01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,880 Speaker 2: But as a game like that is unfolding, I'm not 2285 01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:24,360 Speaker 2: sure I've seen a team play cover zero so much 2286 01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:27,360 Speaker 2: disrespect with no safety back as often as Arizona did, 2287 01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:30,120 Speaker 2: basically saying we dare you to throw it. There were 2288 01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:34,639 Speaker 2: multiple snaps in the second half where every Arizona defender 2289 01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,360 Speaker 2: was within five yards of the line of scrimmage. How 2290 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:38,639 Speaker 2: do you not beat that at least once? 2291 01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:42,000 Speaker 15: And not only not beat it once, but not really 2292 01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:43,880 Speaker 15: even have an answer on how to beat it once? 2293 01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:44,320 Speaker 2: Right? 2294 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:48,160 Speaker 16: Like minimal minimal tries to run a screen? 2295 01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,479 Speaker 2: Well, you kept talking about during the broadcast, moving the protection, Yeah, right, 2296 01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:54,080 Speaker 2: moving the pocket, moving the pocket, I just none of that. 2297 01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:56,519 Speaker 15: No, they didn't do any of that. And again, you're 2298 01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:58,559 Speaker 15: coming off a bye in which a team in Utah 2299 01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:02,360 Speaker 15: challenged you the same way Brendan Soorsby said it after 2300 01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:03,920 Speaker 15: the game. We've got to have a better answer for man, 2301 01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:08,120 Speaker 15: what happened during the bye week. You know, it's another 2302 01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:11,479 Speaker 15: game where questions are being answered, asked about who Joe 2303 01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,840 Speaker 15: Royer two targets, one catch. 2304 01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:17,880 Speaker 16: I just I don't. I don't get it. It's a guy. 2305 01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:19,679 Speaker 16: I feel bad Joe Royer. 2306 01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,040 Speaker 15: At one point in the offseason, McShay had him going 2307 01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,000 Speaker 15: thirty first overall. 2308 01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:27,200 Speaker 2: So we that talented, we like we like Joe Royer 2309 01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:31,720 Speaker 2: right what we've both spent time with Joe, spent time 2310 01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:34,439 Speaker 2: with his family to overrate him. 2311 01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,200 Speaker 16: I don't think so. I think he's that talented. 2312 01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:39,800 Speaker 15: I mean, SoRs be talking after the game that they're 2313 01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:41,600 Speaker 15: bracketing him in, double teaming him, like he's getting the 2314 01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:44,479 Speaker 15: same respect we're talking about Jamar Chase getting right. There's 2315 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:46,920 Speaker 15: got to be ways you can get him involved. And 2316 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:50,960 Speaker 15: the whole move the pocket thing. You can't just ask 2317 01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,320 Speaker 15: a quarterback to sit in the pocket. Cover zero is 2318 01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,559 Speaker 15: designed to bring more people than you can block. That's 2319 01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:00,200 Speaker 15: the that's the idea of cover zero. Man demand that 2320 01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:05,200 Speaker 15: there's one safety back and he's accountable for the deep 2321 01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,080 Speaker 15: part of the field. But that evens up the numbers 2322 01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,320 Speaker 15: cover zero. There's one more than you can block because 2323 01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,880 Speaker 15: the quarterback's the passer, So no matter how you slice it, 2324 01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:15,880 Speaker 15: it can't be blocked up unless you either have quick 2325 01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:19,439 Speaker 15: game answers, rub routes, screen game, or move the pocket. 2326 01:53:19,840 --> 01:53:23,040 Speaker 15: I didn't see any of that from the Cincinnati Bearcats, 2327 01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,880 Speaker 15: and coming off a buy where you just played a 2328 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,640 Speaker 15: team that challenged you in the same way and not 2329 01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:29,120 Speaker 15: having that answer is alarming to me. 2330 01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:34,639 Speaker 2: Brendan Soresby last year, middle of the season, it felt 2331 01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:36,800 Speaker 2: like he had a bad game and it snowballed. My 2332 01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:40,160 Speaker 2: fear after the Utah game was something similar is gonna happen. 2333 01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,280 Speaker 2: Why should I believe that hasn't started to happen. 2334 01:53:42,640 --> 01:53:44,800 Speaker 15: You're gonna have to You're gonna have to hope that 2335 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:46,600 Speaker 15: you see differently on Saturday, because I don't have a 2336 01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,680 Speaker 15: reason that it's not gonna happen. I think Brendan Sowsby's 2337 01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:53,040 Speaker 15: issue right now is predetermining everything. The first play of 2338 01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:55,559 Speaker 15: the game, he predetermined that. Look, he didn't read it out, 2339 01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:58,040 Speaker 15: ball was picked off, ball was picked off. He predetermined 2340 01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 15: a couple run pass options where instead of giving it 2341 01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,240 Speaker 15: out he kept it. Looked to me like he predetermined it. 2342 01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:06,240 Speaker 15: And then the last play of the game, fourth down, 2343 01:54:06,240 --> 01:54:07,599 Speaker 15: with the game on the line, the balls don't out 2344 01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:10,599 Speaker 15: of bounce. You went down without even giving anyone a chance, 2345 01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,800 Speaker 15: didn't utilize himself as much as a runner as we've 2346 01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:16,000 Speaker 15: seen in games past. 2347 01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:17,280 Speaker 16: I mean, they were on pace. 2348 01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,120 Speaker 15: It felt like the run for five hundred yards, and Arizona, 2349 01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:22,320 Speaker 15: as you said, came down and said nope, we're not 2350 01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:24,920 Speaker 15: going to let that happen. Beat us in the passing game, 2351 01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:25,719 Speaker 15: and they didn't. 2352 01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,800 Speaker 2: They're gonna play a very good BYU team on Saturday, 2353 01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:32,240 Speaker 2: then they have to go on the road and play TCU, 2354 01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,960 Speaker 2: then there will be a bowl game. What are we 2355 01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:42,440 Speaker 2: talking about if they don't win another game? What are 2356 01:54:42,440 --> 01:54:44,960 Speaker 2: we talking about if they end this season with a 2357 01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,120 Speaker 2: five game losing streak, which is how last season ended. 2358 01:54:49,240 --> 01:54:52,760 Speaker 15: I don't think because of how it started, you're talking 2359 01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:54,640 Speaker 15: about a coaching change. But I think there's gonna be 2360 01:54:54,680 --> 01:55:01,640 Speaker 15: a loud audience to talk about that. If that happens, 2361 01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:04,160 Speaker 15: I don't know how you get it turned back around. 2362 01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,920 Speaker 15: With the current regime. I don't know how you can 2363 01:55:08,280 --> 01:55:11,200 Speaker 15: sell it again and continue to raise the nil money. 2364 01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,400 Speaker 2: I do not think you can sell it. 2365 01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:16,320 Speaker 15: You can't, especially with where you are this year. Who's 2366 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:21,960 Speaker 15: their best win Kansas probably Iowa State short handed, the 2367 01:55:22,400 --> 01:55:25,720 Speaker 15: best teams they've played, they've lost. Who's the where's the 2368 01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:27,040 Speaker 15: where's the where's the marquee? 2369 01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:29,240 Speaker 2: Big win? I think if you could somehow steer this 2370 01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:31,920 Speaker 2: back on track and yeah, go nine and three? Nine 2371 01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:35,400 Speaker 2: and three, okay, disappointing that they didn't compete for a 2372 01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:38,640 Speaker 2: conference title. Nine and three is gonna feel like progress, 2373 01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:40,320 Speaker 2: especially if you win your last two and maybe you 2374 01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:44,600 Speaker 2: win a Bowl game. If it goes the other direction 2375 01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,960 Speaker 2: after you started seven and one, good luck selling people 2376 01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:51,280 Speaker 2: on that music means you have to go. 2377 01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:51,920 Speaker 16: Time to go. 2378 01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:53,400 Speaker 2: We got through it. 2379 01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:58,320 Speaker 16: You're serving a one game suspension next week? 2380 01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:00,000 Speaker 2: Are you are you gonna spit on me? 2381 01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:00,600 Speaker 16: Nope? 2382 01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:05,200 Speaker 2: Good Uh?
