1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: What is up Straight Fire, FA It's me Jason McIntire, 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Monday, March seventeenth. Oh man, it was 4 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 2: a glorious weekend. March Madness is officially here. If you 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: could can't really tell, my voice is kind of sort 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: of fading. I got a little I don't know. I 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: usually avoid getting sick because I, you know, pride myself 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: on being an ox and I don't get sick. Not 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: quite a man cold, but just like a throat thing 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: where I'm losing my voice now it could be could 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: be the guys. I spent the weekend coaching H one 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: two I think four basketball games, youth basketball game, so 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: you know, I'm getting after it and before we get 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: to the brackets, and obviously the huge news for the 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals that they fans are getting about, which it's 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: great news, but you know, I don't think you should 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: be that giddy. You know, you look at coaching youth sports, 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: and I've talked about this for a while. I think 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: one of the most rewarding fun things I've done is 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: coach my kids. Memories that I'll have forever, and I'm 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: very competitive. You guys couldn't tell I play in multiple 22 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: men's leagues. It just so happens that my teams are 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: always kind of in the mix. Well that's because I 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: love this stuff, you know, and I'm a competitive and 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: I make sure kids who have a practice, and you know, 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: I get on the parents. I make sure I draft 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: kids who I know the parents or I know the 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: parents are going to get the kids to practice. And 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: I'll be honest, totally upfront, I thought this was the 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: weakest team my son has had in years. It was 31 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: a combined seventh and eighth grade, and I don't know, 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: a ton of seventh graders and a lot of the 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: best I would say, like the top ten, maybe the 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: top eight kids in the grade didn't play because they're 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: prepping for freshman ball. So it was a lot of 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: like Newish guys. And I'll be honest, I did think 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: our team was great. We lost one game season, and 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs, I'm like, listen, it's not gonna 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: be I didn't even know when the championship game was, 40 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: and of course I start to get into it. We 41 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: catch a bit of a break when the number one 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: overall pick decided to skip a playoff game so that 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: he could play in a club game. And I'll never 44 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: really understand that, but I'll tell you more in a sec. 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: And then we play in the second round against my buddy, 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: and it just so happens we only had five guys, 47 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: so no bench, no subs or anything, which you think 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: is a major drawback. However, my buddy's team had all 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: eight of his players and they were a really good team. 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: They were favored air quotes, and I was extremely nervous 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: because I thought we were gonna get blown out. They 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: had their two best players. And then of course, the 53 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: morning of the tournament, there was a club tournament and boom, 54 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: my buddy's son, who's a very good player, turns his 55 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: ankle and he couldn't really play or do much. So 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: we caught a bit of a break there, and our 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: role players just caught fire. We get the win. I'm shocked, 58 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: and I'm like scrambling. Oh wait a minute. I got 59 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: to coach the championship at three o'clock Sunday and the 60 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 2: brackets come out at three o'clock and I'm like, oh man. 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: And then my daughter's game, we had a stacked team. 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: We were very good. We kind of cruise to the title. 63 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: That game was right after that, so like I'm yelling 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: all weekend getting after it. Anyways, my son's team, you 65 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: guys all love this. Just humor me for a sec. 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: We're going up against a team that the only team 67 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: that beat us. Now I wasn't there, but still they 68 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: beat us pretty soundly. They had four really good players, 69 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: one of them is on that prep for the high 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: school team. And we scrimmaged them three times and they 71 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: smoked us every time. Now it was on a small court, 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: we didn't have all our guys, but it was like, damn, 73 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: this team passes. They know what they're doing, and we 74 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: got destroyed, and our guys were nervous. And of course 75 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: the morning of the championship game, the other coach is 76 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: Jay Mac. Can we reschedule? My top three players all 77 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: have club conflicts? And I'm like, Carlos, you're my guy, 78 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: but bro, tell these parents. You know there's a club 79 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: tournament every other weekend. You couldn't tell me what happened 80 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: in your club tournament three months ago or six or nine. 81 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: Nobody remembers. I was like, oh, yeah, I think we did. Okay, 82 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: we had two and one. The local basketball league. There's 83 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: one season, one tournament, and that's it. That's it. You'll 84 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: remember this five years from now ten you won't remember 85 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: the club. So he's like, all right, I'll work on him. 86 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: Turns out two of the guys showed up, and my buddy, 87 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: who I play in the men's league with, he's really good. 88 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: He's the one who lives around the corner from Klay 89 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: Thompson and his son is the seventh grader. And I'm 90 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: just telling you, guys, if he gets a little taller 91 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: and once he hits puberty and gets stronger, he's going 92 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: to be a lights out player. He is unbelievable. I 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: had thirty two points, carried us to the victory, and 94 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: so I get home from two titles one, I'm on 95 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: cloud nine. I'm going through the video because he has 96 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: like a nerd. I watched the video afterward and pull 97 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: clips and put them online and just like set him 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: to the parents like I'm committed. I'm in. And then 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: I sit down and look at the brackets. Last night, 100 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: I'm like, shit, I missed the selection show. You know, 101 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: this was like the first time in twenty years. I 102 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: live for March Madness, gambled on it all weekend. Saturday 103 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: was a monster Day was very good. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 104 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: not great, not great, but we rally and here we 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: are And now my inbox has just slammed with are 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: you entering this bracket challenge?

Twenty bucks? And who can say no 109 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: to this stuff? It's like, I love the brackets, and 110 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: I've long compared brackets to going out to bars and 111 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: meeting girls in your in your early twenties. It's a 112 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: numbers game. If you just sit back and hang with 113 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: the dudes and maybe go up to one girl and 114 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: kick game or whatever, and you get the stiff arm 115 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: or hey, good talking to you. I'm out. That's it. 116 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: You're over one done. If you are that guy who's 117 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: super friendly and you're trying to make moves and you're hey, 118 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: how are you? And you what's going on? 119 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: Hey? 120 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: Hey? And you I don't know, shoot your shot with 121 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: ten women? How many numbers do you think you're gonna get? 122 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Three? 123 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: Four? Like, it's a numbers game, and with the brackets, 124 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: that's how I treat them. So I am twenty bracket guy. Now, 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: in the last three years, brackets have taken a backseat 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: to this thing called a Calcutta where you bid on teams. 127 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: You get a group and bid on teams and hopefully 128 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: your team goes far and you win money. So the 129 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: first year I did it, I thought this was amazing. 130 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: We had a pretty famous actor. I'm not gonna say 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: his name, but he's been in a lot of good movies. 132 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: Super nice guy, lives locally and he's buddies with a 133 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: couple guys that I know, and he staked most of it. 134 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: And we had Kansas, and that was the tournament where 135 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: Kansas made an amazing run and smashed North Carolina. I 136 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: think they rallied to beat North Carolina in the title game. 137 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: But it was awesome. We all had a nice little 138 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: windfall and it was like, oh, just Calcutta stuff is easy, right. 139 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: But then the next year we pivoted to a different 140 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: Calcutta and oh no, no, no, we did the same one, 141 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: but it went extremely poorly and we were like, all right, 142 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: let's not do this. 143 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: One. 144 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: Guy whoever off puts in the most money usually has 145 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: the most say. So if you're putting in ten percent 146 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: and so's your buddy. And then the big guy's putting 147 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: in sixty percent. Well he's going to overrule you because 148 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: he's putting, you know, mid five figures on the line, 149 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: high five figures. And so that one did not go well. 150 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: So we pivoted to a different one. And last year 151 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: we were in a great spot and then it all 152 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: fell apart in the Sweet sixteen. One night in one 153 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: fell swoop we went. We had three teams left in 154 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen. All of them lost. They were all favored, 155 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: and they all lost. One of them was Houston when 156 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: they lost their their guard got injured early, and I 157 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: was like, f life. 158 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 159 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: the nation.

There was a great read in 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: the Athletic about what their coach has done. They went 172 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: from D three to D two. He's doing. His whole 173 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: roster is mostly D two and D three guys, and 174 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: they just play their ass off. They play this no 175 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: middle defense which I employed to my local teams here. Yes, 176 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: at the youth level, where it's basically like we're not 177 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: letting you get to the middle. No floaters, no layft, 178 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: none of that. And they play amazingly. They hustle their 179 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: butts off. This team is feisty and I'm When the 180 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: brackets came out, I wasn't there. I saw some people 181 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: got three and a half. I did not get that. 182 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: I got two. I got three plus three for the Titans. 183 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: It's down to two and a half. As I look 184 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: at the lines right now, I'm just telling you this 185 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: team is tough and gritty. Now. The drawback is they 186 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: don't really have a lot of size. However, Michigan has 187 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: some size. They got the big kid he transferred. He 188 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: was on that. I think the FAU team that went 189 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: to the final four and they have another big guy 190 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: who solid who showed well in the Big Ten Tournament. 191 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: So they're kind of sort of a problem for the Tritons. 192 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: But I'm taking them. I made the bet, you know, 193 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: not not the biggest wager in the world, but I 194 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: do believe they will be a significant problem. I think 195 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: Michigan is a mite overseated and they don't shoot the 196 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: three well and the Tritons do. Just reminding people who 197 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: are like, oh, Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament, so 198 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 2: coming into the Big Ten Tournament, they got smacked at 199 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: home by twenty by Illinois, lost at home to Maryland, 200 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: and then got smashed at Michigan State. So they went 201 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: into the Big Ten Tournament on a three game losing streak. 202 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: That being said, Dusty May put everything into the Big 203 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 2: Ten Tournament. They beat Purdue, survived Maryland, and then rallied 204 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: late to beat Wisconsin, and there are there's a lot 205 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: of Dusty May chatter. Is he gonna go to Indiana? 206 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: What's going on? 207 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: Is he? 208 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: You know? I don't know, man, I don't think this 209 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: team shoots it good enough. I know they got the 210 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: two bigs, Wolf and Golden is his name. I just 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: I don't fear them as a shooting team. But you see, 212 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: San Diego comes in with the longest win streak in 213 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: the country fifteen in a row, and their tallest rotational 214 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: player is six', eight so they don't have a lot of. 215 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: Size but what they do is they shoot the. Three. 216 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: Well they're an awesome offense and they get a lot of. 217 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: STEALS i think they'll either pull the upset or or 218 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: keep it close enough to. Cover but that was the 219 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: first BET i. Made now regarding, brackets my first whack 220 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: and AGAIN i will do.

Alabama though the 253 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 2: title almost certainly will come from one of those six. Teams, 254 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 2: now what are those three? Outliers will two thousand and 255 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: Three syracuse With Carmelo, anthony they were not top. Six 256 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: two they had a SUPERSTAR Nba hall Of famer twenty 257 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: Eleven YUKON i think that Was Kemba walker and then 258 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: two thoy Fourteen. YUKON i could look those, up But 259 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: i'm pretty sure that was the team with the guard 260 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: That lebron wanted badly in the in the. Draft let 261 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: me look at their twenty Fourteen yukon Rass Oh Shabaz. 262 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: Napier they Had Napier boat right in the back court 263 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: and twenty Eleven yukon was, Yes, Cardiac Kemba walker And Shabaz. 264 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: Napier so from that you can easily glean guard play matters. 265 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: Significantly but out of those, six how can you drill down? Further, 266 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: well offensive rating and defensive rating two more ken pound 267 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 2: stats matter, Hugely AND i know this is nerdy and 268 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: it's just a, Spreadsheet, jason games aren't played on a.

CAN i 273 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: mean DURING. Nfl it's. Tough but and you look at 274 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: offensive rating and defensive rating and guess what of those 275 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: six they are four of them are for the top 276 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: offensive teams in the. Country defensively is another, question Because 277 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: alabama's defense has been. Leaky they've fallen out of the 278 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: top twenty five. Defensively, PERSONALLY i don't Think alabama will 279 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: win the? Title can? They sure anybody, can BUT i. 280 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: Don't alabama is leaking oil right. Now they've really been. 281 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: Struggling SO i don't put a ton of faith in. Them, 282 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: obviously being in the side the top thirty matters, defensively 283 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: and you look at defense and the number one defensive 284 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: team Is Saint.

FIFTH i 293 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: have historically struggled to bet on and back teams that 294 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: cannot shoot free throws or, threes especially In. March it's 295 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: a tougher, game a lower Scoring sometimes you get in 296 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: these Mostly sweet, sixteen you get in these larger arenas 297 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: that they're not used, to and they Strugg now there's 298 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: also the question of the.

OBVIOUSLY i Think Cooper flag's injury is, 350 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: significant but it sounds like they could probably hold him 351 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: out from the first round and be totally. Fine I'LL 352 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: i think they'll need. Him Baylor Mississippi state are. Interesting 353 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: Missisippi state is going to be a dangerous. Team you'll 354 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: Need Cooper flag for.

Obviously but essentially 401 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 2: what happened to The bengals is that they made a, 402 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: decision all, right we could break up this wide receiver, 403 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: duo which may, pay which may piss off our.

Experiment we're gonna try something. 419 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: Different right when The chiefs Had Tyreek Hill Kelsey, mahomes 420 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: they were, like we can't afford. It we can't build a, 421 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: team we can't round out a, team so we gotta 422 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 2: Let Tyreek hill. Go they let him go and they 423 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: had a balanced. Team, listen they keep going to Super. 424 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: Bowls they went to The Super bowl, again but you 425 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: can start to see cracks in the facade of the. 426 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: Dynasty Travis kelcey's looking. Washed where they gonna find a 427 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: new superstar skill position. Guy defense is getting a little. 428 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: CREAKY i, mean the egos kind of had their way with. 429 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: THEM i still maintained they got to beat The, bills So, 430 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: ROB i don't. KNOW i don't think this is gonna 431 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: reap massive benefits for The bengals in terms of getting 432 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: to The Super. Bowl but they're gonna be fun as, hell, 433 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: obviously and keeping your quarterback happy obviously is. Important but 434 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: it kind of sort of reminds. Me do you remember 435 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: The Dan Marino dolphins when they had The marx. Brothers 436 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: why you were probably too, Young Mark duper And Mark. 437 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: Clayton they had a dynamic. Offense they went to The 438 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 2: Super bowl In marino's second. Year they never got back 439 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: to the Super. Bowl they had a loaded offense and 440 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 2: never had a defense that could stop a. Nosebleed and 441 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: The bengals were pretty much in that same. BOAT i 442 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 2: think they had five or six games when the opponents 443 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: scored forty or more. Points but this is gonna, be you, 444 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: know a turnstile on defense and you're Facing Lamar jackson 445 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: in the. Division and if The steelers ever figure out 446 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: a quarterback or The browns Get Shujorge sanders like they're 447 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 2: gonna be behind the eight. Ball it's just gonna be 448 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: tough to win without a well balanced. Roster but they 449 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: will be exciting and fantasy owners will love. 450 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: Them Rob, Absolutely that's not number one in this whole. 451 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 3: Situation if you are a fantasy football lover LIKE i, 452 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: am this Is god's gift to your ears because now 453 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: every game is guaranteed to be thirty plus on either. 454 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 3: Side so that's number.

Games that would be sixth in THE, nfl 493 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 3: behind The, chiefs The, eagles The, bills The, lions The. 494 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 3: Ravens sounds to me like that is the upper upper 495 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: crust of THE. Nfl so those three, guys at least, 496 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: offensively are. Money and if you're A bengals, fan you're 497 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: excited about. That you have these three guys locked up 498 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: for the foreseeable. Future the only problem with that, is 499 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 3: and again there's always a downside of the, situation that 500 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: defense is, terrible as you alluded, To, okay last, season 501 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: during a five game stretch in the middle of the, 502 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 3: year the defense allowed an average of thirty five points per. 503 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: Game cincinnati went one to. Four lest we, forget in 504 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: those two shootouts with The Baltimore, Ravens Joe row threw 505 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: nine touchdown passes and ended up zero to. Two, okay last, 506 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: year The bengals defense tied for the most losses in 507 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: the season this century when their offense scores at least 508 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 3: twenty five points a. Game in those, games they went 509 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 3: five and. Six, historically THE nfl winning percentage when your 510 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: team scoress at least twenty five points is eighty one. 511 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 3: Percent that's how bad their defense. Is and if you 512 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 3: want to get into the real minutia of the real 513 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: nuts and bolts of, defense they were bottom seven last 514 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 3: year in points per game and yards per, game bottom 515 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 3: six and sack. Percentage and you Mentioned henderson might not 516 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 3: be out there or we don't know about, that bottom 517 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: ten and third down, defense bottom ten and penalty, thirty 518 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 3: eighth in red zone. Defense all of that with them 519 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 3: being top seven in. Turnovers and you know this better than, 520 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: anybody J, matt because you know ball turnovers are not 521 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: something that you can predict on a year to year. 522 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 3: Basis there's some kind of Balance, historically one year you 523 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: might be top, ten one year you might Be autumn, 524 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: ten but over a five year span you're probably gonna 525 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 3: be somewhere in the. Middle just look at These bengals last. 526 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 3: Year they were top seven before that fifteen, eleven. Seventeen 527 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: so you tell me that you have that kind of 528 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 3: turnover look and your defense. 529 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: Was still that bad. 530 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: Look the trio Of, Burrow chase And higgins might put 531 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 3: up twenty, eight twenty nine points a game and they 532 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 3: still might not even make the. Postseason that's how bad 533 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 3: this defense. 534 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: Is not good at.
