Speaker 1 (00:00):
Richard Skinner is with us from Local twelve and Local
twelve dot com, where he covers the Bengals amid his
I'm sure still glowing excitement over beating me in fantasy
football by getting thirty nine points from Cedde Lamb on
Sunday night. Hi, Skinny, you know, mo, I.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Actually fell asleep on that game and it's given up
all my chances. And I literally looked at my phone
to see the final score. I went, I'm sure you
do okay, And I looked and I went, wait a minute,
how do you get thirty nine points out of a
guy filling for two hundred and forty three yards? They
must have all gone to you, and it felt like
I guess most of them did. So yes, MOAI am
glowing over that win because I need it badly.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You know. I I had flown overnight from Colorado and
so I had like one hour of sleep. So the
Washington game ends with a Hail Mary, and I'm like,
you know, Cowboys Niners, I'm good. I'm not going to
see it down. So I fall right asleep thinking I'm
going to improve to three and five. I've got some
moment and there's no way, Skinny, can beat me and
yet here thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, here we are. That's correct.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
From that to gambling, I got Jermaine Burton anytime touchdown
plus three ninety. We like it right.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I would like it better if T. Higgins doesn't play,
And I know fans don't want that to be liked
better if T. Higgins doesn't play, because you want T.
Higgins to play. I just I'm still not sure what
Roy has if he is on the field, because then
who becomes the slot guy? At that point do they
work Jamar they're more. I don't think that's Jermaine's fote.
(01:34):
I think at that point Jermaine becomes I think you're
gonna get in snaps again. I mean they obviously got
him something this past week, and talking to Damn Pitcher today,
it sounds like they want to try to work him
in more. But I think it would be I would
I would take that bet if I had full knowledge T.
Higgins didn't play, becuse I think at that point that
he is obnestly getting a lot of wide receiver snaps
as wide receiver too. I just don't know if if
he's on the field, I think you'd see more of
(01:55):
a of the twelve personnel too tight end. Look, you
want anything else.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So Te's absence today, he shouldn't mean that I rule
him out for Sunday.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, but tomorrow is the big one for me. I mean,
if you know it occurt late last week he was
unable to play. Now he's unable to practice today on Wednesday.
If he's unable to go tomorrow, I mean, I'm not
sure where a walk through's gonna prove to anybody. I mean,
I you know, I guess he could go through another
workout before the game like he did this passway. He
didn't really even do it. He just basically showed them
he couldn't go then. I just don't know if they
(02:26):
pushed that especially. And this question was asked Zach the
very last question of his press commerce today of with
the quick turnaround to Baltimore, is it prudent to give
Tea and Orlando Brown a little extended time and hope
they can play in that game? You know, I think
you are all hands on deck at the moment, mo right,
I mean, this is a must win game. Joke or
even said so today, But I mean, if they can't
(02:48):
go or it's leaning towards you can't go. Do you
really force it to go with such a short turnaround.
I do think it's it's a fluid situation, and I'm
not sure what to declare on either one of those
guys at this point. I don't think they are either.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, hey, at the very least they can lean on
that potent running game though.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, that's the key to me. I mean, for for
attack that it's so poked. I mean, so so it's
funny you bring that up. So I'm gonna write, I'm
right gonna column tomorrow. I'm writing a DuMaine Burton piece today,
but write a column tomorrow on on Zach. You know,
from Zach Taylor to Loui Ana Rumo to to even
Dan Pitcher today. Listen, they're trying to say the right
things that you know, we're gonna get better in this area,
(03:24):
we're just gonna stick to and you know, I'm gonna
we're gonna get a pass rush. We're we're gonna get better.
And because we're gonna be better, you know, in in
in our run fits and it almost feels like they're
just trying to keep a stiff up or lip knowing
we got no answers at the moment. Man, we don't
now Here's what's gonna happen. They're gonna probably beat a
bad Vegas team, which they should. We're probably gonna get
(03:44):
suckered into it like I did. I thought they'd made
some nice strides defensively against the Giants and the Browns,
and probably we all did, and maybe we're all talking
trying to tuck ourselves into I didn't think they did
come into the elite, you know, category, by any stretch.
But you know, I asked lou that the Monday after
the after the Cleveland game. They said, listen, we did
the things we're supposed to do. It's a good step forward.
I thought, okay, And then you have this and you're
(04:05):
left with the sober and reality against the good offenses
they played. I don't even know if I put Kansas
City the I guess, are a good offense or not
the elite they used to be. And they've been torched
by by Baltimore Washington and now there's Philly offense, and
so what am I left with? What are we all
left with? It? When they've played upper echelon offenses, they
can't stop anybody. That's a good part of Las Vegas
(04:26):
doesn't fit in that category, but the team the following
week does in Baltimore. And so when we back at
square one, even if they win this week, if okay, yeah,
this is the moment and they needed you know, to me,
it's you need this one and then you need to
win one of those last two before the buy, and
you still leave yourself much wiggle room. At least you
still have a heart beat.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
A little bit, because I know a short week means
you're really busy. Have you already written your Bengals didn't
make a move at the deadline piece? And all you
need to do is head published?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
No? I well, yeah, I actually think I could copy
and paste the one from last year. I put one
up on that so it listen. I I know we
are all we all talk about this, and we all
think about this, and we all surmise this move and
that move. I even since I said on my podcast
list week, I just don't leave lose any sleepover because
it just doesn't happen. They just don't do it. That
doesn't make it right. Don't don't don't take that for
(05:14):
a second be thinking that that that's you know, what
they should do. But it's just they They just don't
and so I don't. I don't really worry too much
about it. I don't think they're going to do anything
this time we're out either.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Uh yeah, certainly feels that way. All right, we'll enjoy
your fantasy victory. By the way, Jermaine Burton first touchdown
plus two thousand, just keep that in mind for yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I mean, could you see them on the first play,
just just because they got him in the lineup and say, hey,
what what's just send him deep because we know we
can run deep. But that that's honestly, that's.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
That's right, Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I like you thought process.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's rare that I have a good one man. Thanks
so much,
