John Sharon is with us. 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: What's up, John, Hey, Tony, Good to talk to you again, man. 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: Always always good to talk to you. John. Before I 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: even talk to you about the Cincinnati Bengals, how about 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: these Cincinnati Bearcats. Are you buying what the Bearcats are 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: putting together right now? And are you buying the Bearcats 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: as Big twelve contenders? 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: I really don't want too, but I also really really 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: want to, So you know what, I'm just gonna I'm 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 3: just gonna let go. I'm gonna let go. I'm gonna 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: let them hurt me again. You know I've put off 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 3: these walls. They're tearing down right now. I'm just I'm 24 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: just going with it. We'll see what they do against 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: Utah and a coup in I guess a week or so. Yeah, 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: I'm just like, let's just ride out. Let's just see 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 3: what happens. 28 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: Take care of business against a very talented offense on Saturday, 29 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: and uh, and see what happens on the road in 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: Utah against a good squad. We know what happened last Thursday, 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Bengals pick up a win against the Steelers. Joe Flacca 32 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: was amazing. He is now the darling based on his 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: press conference from yesterday, where it feels like so many 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: people can relate to what Joe Flacca was talking about 35 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: as it relates to the field. John, where did you 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: see the ability for Joe Flacco to have as much 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: success as he did. 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: I think the more time on TAC that he had 39 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: in practice with his receivers, the better the timing was. 40 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: And I just think it's so impressive how quickly he 41 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: was able to get the ball out of his ends, 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: but also to be able to push the ball down 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: the field and hit some of those windows, and some 44 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: of those in breaking routes to either Jamar Chase or 45 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: t Higgins. So the offensive line looked better because the 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 3: ball was getting out quicker, but also he knew where 47 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: to go with the ball. And I think that's just 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: what the Bengals had envisioned with bringing in a new 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: quarterback instead of Drake Jake grinding someone who played on 50 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: time and just you didn't have to be he doesn't 51 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: have to be completely accurate, didn't have to have Joe 52 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: Burrow type accuracy to make this offense work, but recognizing 53 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: when he's got when the receivers have inside leverage and 54 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: knowing that you know those windows are going to open 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: up in a fraction of a second, and getting the 56 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: ball out and just still putting it on, you know, 57 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 3: on other guy's hands, like they're some of the best 58 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 3: hands catchers in the NFL. So it's just it's all 59 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: about just making sure that you're into on time and 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: then rhythm, and that's just how you have that success. 61 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: And obviously, you know, the Steelers did him a favor 62 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: by just spamming man coverage over and over again and 63 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: just not really adjusting in that regard, and that's kind 64 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: of how that day happened. But I was very impressed 65 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: by how well he played on time and in rhythm 66 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: throughout the entire game. That's just what allowed the consisten 67 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: success to keep blowing. 68 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: You mentioned the Steelers playing man coverage. I was surprised. 69 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: Not only that, but when you think about a team 70 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: playing man, you think that they're committing more to the 71 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: box to stop the run, and yet Chase Brown ran 72 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: for nine point eight yards of carry. They ran in 73 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: as a team for six point two yards per carry. 74 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: Anything that you can point to as to why they 75 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: were all of a sudden able to find success on 76 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: the ground, I. 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: Think the blocking was just better. I think they found 78 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: some concepts with Flatko under center, because obviously the Bengals 79 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: run game with Burrow, it's been mostly in the pistol 80 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: around the shotgun because he doesn't have as much comfort, 81 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: you know, under center. But Joe Flacco, obviously he's played 82 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: a long time, he's been around that scheme a while, 83 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: and I think he finds some comfort in it and 84 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: they can kind of marry the pass and run game 85 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: a little bit coming out from that formation, and you know, 86 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: they were able to kind of stretch the Steelers out 87 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: a little bit horizontally, and I think dol Rytherner had 88 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: a good game walking next to Rounda Brown junior, and 89 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: that opens up some holes for Chase Brown. So you know, 90 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 3: the Steelers we talked about with Austin last week, they're 91 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: really aggressive and how they defend the run. Sometimes they 92 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: can get a little bit over aggressive, and I think 93 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: the Bengals just found a nice rhythm and flow with 94 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: some of the concepts that they had under center, and 95 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: that's what led to that succepts. It didn't really matter 96 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: where in the game it was, or the Bengals were up, 97 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: or if they were trailing or anything like that. I 98 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: think walking was just better. 99 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 4: You mentioned Dalton Risner. Zach Taylor has not announced or 100 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: won't announced exactly who his starting guards are going to be. 101 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: Do you expect there to be a short leash for 102 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: those guys and the Bengals kind of keep rolling through 103 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 4: whoever they feel like he's playing good at the moment. 104 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 105 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: I was a bit surprised that Riisner got the start 106 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: last week, considering that Fairchild he seemed to be practicing 107 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: and able to play and he was active. I think 108 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 3: it was more just the fact that it was a 109 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: short week and Fairchild was coming off that knee injury, 110 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: and maybe they didn't think they had enough time to 111 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: actually practice enough to play. But then Riisner, you know, 112 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 3: he's a natural left guard, that's where he's played ninety 113 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: percent of his snaps, and I think he looked better 114 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: there compared to right guards in some of those first 115 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 3: couple weeks where he was starting. I would imagine that 116 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: Fairchild is going to take that spot back now that 117 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: he's fully healthy, just because I don't think he was 118 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: playing bad enough to warrant being benched, and I think 119 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: they value Risner just being the guy that can fill 120 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: in either spot in a pinch if some guy gets hurt. 121 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: I'm really interested to see in the least with Jan Rivers. 122 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 3: I think that's a case where they really liked what 123 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: he did in preseason, and then the first chance that 124 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: they felt like he deserved in the regular season in 125 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: Week four, that he got that chance, and I don't 126 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: think they wanted to take him out until maybe something 127 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: drastic happens. But I would imagine that we're going to 128 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: see both rookies out there this week when they're both healthy, 129 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: and maybe it's just about giving Rivers a little bit 130 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: more time to see if he can kind of stabilize himself, 131 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: and if not, then that's where you have Lucas Patrick 132 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: or Dalton Riisers to fill in for that spot. 133 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: One other thing on the offense, and then I'll switch 134 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 2: it over the defensive side of the ball. You mentioned 135 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco and the ability to go under center in 136 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: the running game. We've seen this now from different sample sizes. 137 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: When Jake Browning took over years ago, they did found 138 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: some success, find some success in the running game, and 139 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: a lot of it was drawn to the under center run. 140 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: I know that Joe Burrow doesn't want to get under 141 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: center much. You watch what he did at LSU. They 142 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: were rarely ever under center. When it comes down to 143 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: Zach's scheme versus what Joe Burrow wants to do. How 144 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: did those conversations eventually go, Because I wonder if if 145 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 2: Zach has tried to do more under center, and you 146 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: speculate as if Joe doesn't want to do that and 147 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: just wants to stay and gun, or how do you 148 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: think that dynamic works or needs to adapt when Joe 149 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: Burrow is healthy to find success in the running game still. 150 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: You know, Zach Taylor, we knew that he came from 151 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: the Shaw McBay coaching tree, and that entire offense is 152 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: just based off of being under center and just having 153 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: blue legs and playoff packing wide zone. And we saw 154 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: that the first year that Taylor was here in twenty 155 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 3: eighteen with Amy Dalton, and we knew that the offense, 156 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: like you said that Burrow was coming from with Joe Brady, 157 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: it didn't really feature any of that, and it tried 158 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: to maximize the strengths of that offense with its receivers 159 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: in the past game and the ability for Burrow to 160 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: examine in the defense from the gun, to never turn 161 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: his back from what the defense is showing him, and 162 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: to know where the ball is supposed to go at 163 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: all times, which is how he can operate behind a 164 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: bad offensive line and he can just still have an 165 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: efficient day out there even without a reliable running game, 166 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: because it is hard to find a reliable running game 167 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: when you're never under center, right, So that's always been 168 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: the weird thing that they've tried to balance. And I 169 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: think Taylor and his offense is in a scheme has 170 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: really adjusted to what Burrow does well, but it is 171 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: hard to sustain that success over years and years because 172 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: eventually the defenses are going to be able to pick 173 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: up on it, and it's just easier to defend because 174 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: there's not as much the diversity into a lot more 175 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: predictable to defend against. So I think the conversations has 176 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: always been how can they maximize Burrow because he's the 177 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 3: most valuable person in that building, and they want to 178 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: make sure that he plays it as his best and 179 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: he's in a scheme that maximizes that. But it's always 180 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: been a weird thing to balance in terms of trying 181 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: to do what is best for just you know, countering 182 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: what defenses are doing to you, but also making sure 183 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: that you're not putting him in a position where he's 184 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: not like at his best. So I think when we 185 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: see sometimes when different quarterbacks are in there and they have 186 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: different strengths, sometimes we see different aspects of the offense, 187 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: and that's kind of what we're seeing right now. 188 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: How do you characterize what's going on on the defensive 189 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: side of the ball right now? We have talked for 190 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: weeks now, John about at times Logan Wilson's snap count 191 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: Cam Taylor Britt is now a healthy scratch. It feels 192 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: like at points there they're going to the young guys, 193 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: They're giving them as many opportunities as possible, yet at 194 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: the same time guys are being held accountable. But Gino 195 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: Stone is still playing a lot and he struggled at times. 196 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: So how do you categorize what you're seeing on the 197 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball as a whole? With Al Golden, 198 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: I don't. 199 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: Think it's too dissimilar to when lu Narumo first took over. 200 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: After you know, the coaching change there, we remember, like 201 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: obviously what happened. Carlo has done that right, Like that 202 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: was a guy that was phased out, someone who is 203 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: well respected in the locker room, and unfortunately you notice 204 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: the difference of what the defense, the new defensive corner 205 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 3: is sawing him. I think that's kind of what we're 206 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: seeing a little bit with Al Golden and Logan Wilson 207 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: and some other guys as well. It came to the 208 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: Brick could be another example as well, even though he 209 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: was benched obviously by the previous if that's the coordinator, 210 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 3: So again, it is still surprising to see what is 211 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: happening with Wilson, but I think that's just the reality 212 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: that they're accepting and they deemed that Bear Carters is 213 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: better in that role. And I think in general, this 214 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 3: defense is still really trying to find himself and just 215 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: really they're capitalizing on the times when they do find 216 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: the ball, and like their best games have been when 217 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: they can capitalize on turnovers and when they can, you know, 218 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: really make the most of those opportunities. It is still 219 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: a matter of trying to find consistency in terms of 220 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: getting stops when they need to. That's what they did 221 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh at the end of the day and at 222 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: the end of that game, and that's how they were 223 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: able to get their offensive chance to kind of win 224 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 3: them at the end. But yeah, it's still, I think, 225 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: very much of a work in progress of figuring out 226 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 3: which players are best there. And with Gino Stone it 227 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: is tough to put a new stafety in there and 228 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: try to make sure that the communication is, you know what, 229 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: the same as it is. So you know, I think 230 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: Stone Neat still needs to just prove himself and be 231 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: more consistent, But it meant something that he was he's 232 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: still here and that they brought him back and retained it, 233 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 3: even just by a pay cut. 234 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: I do wonder, you know, I saw there's the back 235 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: and forth this week about preparing for Tyrod Taylor or 236 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: preparing for Justin Fields. I know that's difficult, and you 237 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: can speak to maybe what that challenge presents itself for 238 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: the Bengals and not really knowing who's going to be 239 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback. But against a team like the Jets who 240 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: are struggling in the passing game, could you make the 241 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: point that maybe now would be a good opportunity to 242 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: give someone else an opportunity if if it's not the 243 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: most elite passing game you're going to go against on Sunday. 244 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 3: I think the counter actually makes a lot more sense 245 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: if you. I mean, obviously there's respect for everybody that 246 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: you go against, right and I don't think the Bengals 247 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 3: can afford to look anybody in the eyes and say 248 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: we don't respect you. And this is going to be easy, right. 249 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: I think when you're facing a team that's clearly struggling 250 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 3: and is trying to find answers, that's a good time 251 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: to really test the guys that need to prove themselves, like, hey, 252 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: this is an opportunity for you to really shine because admittedly, 253 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 3: like this should be a game that you should do 254 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 3: well against. And I think when it comes to Geno 255 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: Stone and other guys who have a lot to prove, 256 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 3: this is a time for them to really show why 257 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: they should still be on the field. And I think 258 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: even like last year when the defense really ended things 259 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: on a high note, in those final five or six games, 260 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: they did not go against the best offenses or the 261 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: best quarterbacks, you saw their abilities really show themselves in 262 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: those opportunities. Because sometimes in the NFL, when parody is 263 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: king and everything like that, there's still massive disadvantages that 264 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: your opponents may have to deal with. And I think 265 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: that could be a case this week where you really 266 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: give some of those guys a chance to just just 267 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: play their hearts out and play above what they've been 268 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 3: doing so because that should be the expectation against teams 269 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: like the Jets who are winless. 270 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 4: We saw the Bengals struggle to get any type of 271 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: pass rush with al Trey Hendrickson on Thursday. I expect 272 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: him to be on a bit of a pitch count 273 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: against the Jets. How can they do a better job 274 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 4: of getting pass rush should al golden blae it's more 275 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: when Trey Hendrickson is not on the field, or just 276 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 4: blitz more in general to try to speed up the quarterback. 277 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: It's tough. I feel like these kinds of questions are 278 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: always asked in the middle of the season, and the 279 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: answer is that some of these problems needed to be 280 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: solved in March and April, where they just don't have 281 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 3: like the bodies that can, just like it is hard 282 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: to scheme pass rush when you don't have guys who 283 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: can like they should be in advotateous situations anyways, because 284 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: it's a lot easier being a defensive lineman than an 285 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: offensive linean. That's just an inherent advantage in today's games, 286 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 3: despite how clickly the ball is getting out of your hands, 287 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: And if you don't have guys in the building who 288 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: can just win one on one as pass rushers, there's 289 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 3: not much you can do schematically as a coach to 290 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: get around that. You can try games and stunts and 291 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: blitzes and twists all you want, but teams can also 292 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 3: adapt to that. And if you just don't win in 293 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: a quick manner, if you don't have the guys who 294 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: can do that, it is really tough in order to 295 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: do that. So that's why it still comes down to 296 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 3: the players actually performing up to their drests status, and 297 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: that's still not quite what we've seen from the most 298 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 3: part of of the likes of Miles Murphy and Schmarstiyr 299 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: and everything. There's still time for those guys to continue 300 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: flashing the intornialo slashes into consistency, but that's why we're 301 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: not really seeing it, and it's just not that much 302 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: that the coaches can do. 303 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: We are a couple weeks away now from the deadline 304 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: for trade or trade deadline in the NFL. The Bengals 305 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: obviously sit at three and four, but a winnable game 306 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: on Sunday, I think the Bears is going to be 307 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: an interesting matchup. What do you need to see over 308 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: the next two weeks and if you see enough over 309 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: the next two are you buying at the deadline if 310 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: you're the Bengals. 311 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 3: Some the Bengals I would always be trying to make 312 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: proactive moves. It's just not what I quite expect them 313 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 3: to do. I think they're only their definition of proactive 314 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 3: is Oh, a travesty happened in terms of an injury 315 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: and we need to find a quick solution to that. 316 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: I think that you can equate that to what happened 317 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 3: with Joe Slatto, right. I think when the opportunity arises 318 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: when they can offload a player that is no longer 319 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: a value to them for a player that they could 320 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: find value. We talked about Billy Price for bj Hill, right, 321 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: that could be what they look at, and maybe a 322 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: potential Logan Wilson type trade. 323 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: Right. 324 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: I think those opportunities are always there and they're always looking, 325 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: But I don't know if I'm really looking for anything 326 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: in the next two weeks in terms of like, yes, 327 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 3: they need they absolutely need to be buying here. I 328 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: think if they find ways to win without a reliable 329 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: pass rush, that's still something that I would like to see, 330 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: But we've get to really seen them explore that position 331 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: in terms of these deals. But yes, finding additional pass rush, 332 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: whether they be on the edge or the interior, that 333 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: should be somewhat of a priority, just to see just 334 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: to test the waters, to see if there's anything out 335 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: that they can get, because I think still this defense 336 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: needs to take that next step and just finding a 337 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: better pass rush. But other than that, I'm not really 338 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: expecting much in terms of them buying regardless of the 339 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: next two weeks ago. 340 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: John, you're the absolute best man.

I know he's 665 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 21: taken reps at practice, but I think they're, you know, 666 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 21: second string reps, not with the first team. From what 667 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 21: I understand, it could be wrong on that. And then, uh, 668 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 21: mister Pip, you're a fifth bump guy.

There's there's there's not a 673 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: guarantee that even if you work in this so there 674 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: are some people that may work here that don't even 675 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 2: know this shows on from noon to three. 676 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there is what just yesterday, somebody thought 677 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 4: that we go on at twelve oh six. They thought 678 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 4: we had the same clocks as the other stations. We don't, yep, 679 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 4: So which might just be a beautiful peek into our world. 680 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: Tony Austin. 681 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 5: Why noting that Shamar Steward is. 682 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 2: Coming off an injury, I said that, you know, maybe. 683 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 5: He just wasn't able to really go on and don't play, 684 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 5: and maybe he can be that past rush disruption we need. 685 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 5: I kind of think he's got that in him for sure. 686 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: He's got that dog. 687 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 4: Ian puts your ears on, big boy, I think he's 688 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: got that dog said that already. Shamar Stewart on the 689 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 4: season less Tackles than Jamar Chase, for sure. He has 690 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 4: two tackles on the year. Now, he's only played in 691 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 4: three games, so I get that that he doesn't has 692 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 4: not had a lot of opportunities. 693 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 2: Correct, it was our last one. 694 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 4: Let me see some more, give me a little bit more. 695 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: Let's look at what's coming up on the weekend ahead, 696 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 4: College and NFL coming up next.

I was definitely on cloud nine, maybe 709 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 23: ninety nine. It was amazing. 710 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 24: Thing I remember most about that year not that family 711 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 24: wasn't a big part of the football. In playing football, 712 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 24: they obviously really were excited about watching me play at 713 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 24: whatever level. It was high school, college or NFL, but 714 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 24: to play in the Super Bowl.

I 738 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 4: don't know league wide that anyone's really worried about them. Yeah, 739 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 4: back to back of trust that they'll figure it out. 740 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: I mean that their wins, they put up forty one, thirty, 741 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: thirty one and thirty one back to back losses, scoring 742 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 2: twenty and fourteen. They do go to Carolina and take 743 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 2: on the upstart four and three Carolina Panthers this weekend. 744 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 4: Andy Dalton lead Panthers can't be out for a smidge 745 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 4: due to a high ankle sprain. But outside of that, 746 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the big one is Green Bay and Pittsburgh. 747 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: I want to see Aaron Rodgers up against the Packers. 748 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 4: Packers have changed. They're now going to wear their all 749 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 4: white uniforms because of too much yellow on the field 750 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 4: because of the Steelers wearing their throwbacks with the yellow helmets. 751 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 4: Outside of that, though, I really am not that interesting. 752 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 2: Commander's Chiefs loses a little bit because Daniels is out. 753 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels isn't playing. To me, it's it's how does 754 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 4: Baltimore look against Chicago? And obviously looking ahead of the 755 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 4: Bengals playing Chicago next week. How those two teams face 756 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 4: enough that I'm looking about that game more about Chicago 757 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 4: than Baltimore. Yeah, well, okay, fair enough. Yeah, Baltimore is 758 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 4: still six and a half point favorites, which I'm still 759 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 4: confused by, but it does look like Lamar's coming back. 760 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 4: And then are the Giants for real? 761 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 2: Okay? 762 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 4: They are going into Philadelphia against the Eagles, who aren't 763 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 4: great right now. They do this every year, They go 764 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 4: through this low where they're trying to figure it out 765 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 4: and then they get hot towards the end of the season. 766 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 4: So can Jackson Dart rebound from costing his team the 767 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 4: game last week? And can they go into Philly and win? 768 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 4: And if they do, I think the NFC East becomes 769 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 4: a lot more interesting. 770 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 2: When does maction start? Is that soon? I think it already? 771 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 3: Did? 772 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: Oh? Really? Okay? The RedHawks take on Western Michigan at 773 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 2: Yager Stadium on Saturday. I know there's a bunch of 774 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 2: Tuesday games. Yes, there's a lot going on. Does UCLA 775 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 2: keep this ride? Do they keep things close against Indiana? 776 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 3: No? 777 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 2: Twenty five and a half is comfortable. No, Old Miss 778 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 2: Oklahoma feels like a playoff elimination game, would you agree? Hmm? 779 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 2: It would be both teams second loss in the S. 780 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 4: Are we surprised that Oklahoma is favored by five and 781 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 4: a half? 782 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 2: Yes, that is surprising to me. A lot of buzz 783 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 2: Austin as a playoff contender outside of that power grouping 784 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: South Florida. I think this is a tricky one for him. 785 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: They're only four and a half point road favorites, but 786 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: they head into Memphis. If South Florida takes care of 787 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: business against Memphis, I don't know if they lose the 788 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 2: rest of the way. I think this is their toughest 789 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: remaining game. South Florida's good. I mean, they are a talented, 790 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 2: talented team. That's a game of note. Remember how much 791 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 2: buzz South Carolina had to start the year. That's all gone. 792 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 2: They're one and four in the SEC. And remember how 793 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 2: much negativity was around the Alabama football program. All of 794 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 2: a sudden, four and zero in the SEC, fourth ranked 795 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: team in the country, Missouri travels to Vanderbilt. I would 796 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 2: have say I would say that as well. Austin is 797 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 2: an elimination game for the playoffs. Both teams were one 798 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 2: loss fifteen Verse Number ten BYU, the eleventh ranked team 799 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 2: in the nation and undefeated in the Big Twelve, goes 800 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 2: to Iowa State.

I'll be honest, like, I outside of like 827 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 4: a little bit of Ohio State and paying attention to 828 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 4: you see, I feel very disconnected to the rest of 829 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 4: college football. Like I've obviously been watching the Big Twelve 830 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 4: because of the NFL Ohio State a little bit. 831 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've been. 832 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 4: I've been down in the NFL bit all right, college 833 00:39:53,320 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 4: football it's tough for me because there's it's tough to 834 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 4: follow because I don't know any of the players anymore 835 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 4: because they jump around everywhere and the sec every team 836 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 4: is the exact same, so you never know what's gonna 837 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 4: happen on a week to week basis, which is entertaining 838 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 4: at the very least. But like there's more the regular 839 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 4: season feels less important. 840 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's more parody, but I think there's I think 841 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 2: there's validity to what the voice said yesterday when he 842 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 2: called in about Xavier. So he was listening in the 843 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 2: car the other day and and baskets were being made, 844 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 2: and he's listening to Byron and Joe and didn't know 845 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 2: if the basket was made by Xavier or the other team. 846 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: Like it's hard to follow now, Yeah, it's it's a 847 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 2: lot different in today's day and age of college. 848 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 4: Athletics, and not every school has like a dedicated beat 849 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 4: reporter that is there every day and can make it 850 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 4: easy to at least in my opinion. 851 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 2: I don't know I'm wrong. Let's uh, let's finish up 852 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 2: our number two. When we come back. We'll close the 853 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 2: door on hour two.

How about this, Austin, I saw this. Kirk 868 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: Kirkstreet was talking about this just a few moments ago. 869 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 2: Veteran SEC official Ken Williamson has been permanently suspended from 870 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 2: officiating conference games. The decision to remove the longtime referee 871 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 2: comes in the immediate wake of an SEC review of 872 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 2: eleven complaints against Williamson and his crew during the Auburn 873 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 2: Georgia game earlier this month. Nine of those complaints were validated. 874 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 2: This is something Austin we've not seen much of, Kirk 875 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 2: Karbstreet said, I can't remember seeing something like this happening 876 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 2: in the middle of the season. It's an eye opener 877 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 2: and interested to see what this leads to. Now. We've 878 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: talked for years about the accountability for officials. Like the officials, 879 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 2: I've always thought for years they should have to ask 880 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 2: answer questions after games, just like players and coaches should. 881 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 4: Well, they do talk to the pool report. Right, at 882 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 4: least in the NFL they do. I don't know if 883 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 4: they do that in college football. 884 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 2: It's rare. I do think that this happens. 885 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 4: It's rare that we hear about it now, A full 886 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 4: fledged suspension where a guy just stops working. 887 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 2: Maybe not. 888 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 4: Maybe we don't hear about that, or maybe that doesn't 889 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 4: happen as frequently. But I mean, I know that they're scolded, 890 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 4: I know that they're graded, I know that they're talked 891 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 4: to about their performances. It must have been pretty egregious 892 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 4: to do this, That was my thought. I also wonder too, 893 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 4: in the light of everything that's happening in the NBA 894 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 4: right now, you have to be on top of this, yep, 895 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 4: with your officials, even if they're not doing anything bad, 896 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 4: you cannot create the image that this person may or 897 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 4: may not be connected to gambling. 898 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:37,959 Speaker 2: YEP. 899 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 4: That was part of the deal you signed up with 900 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 4: when you got into bed with these companies, is that 901 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,280 Speaker 4: everybody's going to have to be cleaned up. And even 902 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 4: if what's his name, Ken Williamson, Yes, even if he's 903 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 4: not involved in gambling whatsoever, If you even show the 904 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 4: perception that you're so bad at your job that that 905 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 4: conversation starts popping up. 906 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 2: You gotta get rid of that. Yeah, that was a 907 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 2: game at one point that Auburn led ten to nothing 908 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 2: eventually lost the game twenty to ten. Eleven penalties for 909 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 2: one hundred and three yards were called on Auburn in 910 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 2: that game, six penalties for sixty yards were called on Georgia. Again, 911 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 2: if if nine of the eleven complaints made were kind 912 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 2: of cooperated by by those that listen to those complaints, 913 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: I would say that that is substantial and something we 914 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 2: have definitely not seen a lot of. And to your 915 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 2: point with where sports gambling is and where that looks like, 916 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: I think it's something we might see more and more of, because, 917 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, you can't give the you can't give 918 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 2: any indication that something like that is happening or could 919 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: even happen in today's sports world. Let's take a break 920 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 2: hour three your phone calls, Read and React coming up 921 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: next on the Home of the Bengals ESPN fifteen to 922 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 2: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
