Excuse football in the neetti on the official home of
the Bengals, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Twenty minutes after four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
This is ESPN fifteen thirty on Mohegar broadcasting from Buffalo
Wild Wings. On Thursdays, we spend a few minutes with
our friend Jay Morrison from Bengals Talk dot Com on
x AT by Jay Morrison. Bengals are playing their final
home game. Jay loves this because it gets him a
chance to write about how awesome the Bengals are in
home finales. Hopefully they are again on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hi Jay, Hey Mo.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
It is fun to write about it. If it's remarkable,
that's the reason it's so fun to write about it.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yes, it doesn't matter. If the team is good, they're
good in the final home game. If they're bad, they're
somehow good in the final home game. And in some
of those dark years of the nineteen nineties, my only
pleasant memories are of home finales.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, I mean seventeen and two in their last nineteen
home finales when they went into the game with a
losing record, which they have a losing record going in
into this one. It is it's remarkable you think about
those back to back Christmas Eve games in ninety four
or ninety five. They weren't playing bad teams all the time.
Sometimes they're playing teams with a lot on the line,
and they just find a way to win that final
health game and been them all happy.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
They sure do.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I remember James Joseph for the Eagles fumbling setting up
the game winning.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Kick in nineteen ninety five. That was that was a blast,
all right from Orlando. Brown's gonna come back.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It feels like they're dare I say, reasonably healthy going
into Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Uh, yeah, I guess for this time of year. I
mean you look at Denver's. They've got a clean shoot
that's donereal. The Bengles, that five guys listening is questionable,
one is doubtful Tanner Hudson, So it's you know, see
Higgins is questionable.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I think that's more they had listens questionable. He's been
nursing the knee injury for a while and he's been
having some rest. Now you add the ankle in there.
I just think with knee flash ankle on the injury report,
you have to put a desert on there. But this
is too big of a game. I expect him to play.
Marius Mims is going to play. Joseph Osai has an illness.
(02:10):
You know, Stone has an illness. We know how sometimes
those things are unpredictable, but SECT seem to be pretty
confident that those guys are going to be able to go.
So yeah, I would think for Week seventeen, you you'll
take this kind of an injury report.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I would agree with that. They have played three less
than average defenses. They have played three less than good
quarterbacks over the last couple of weeks, and so it's
easy to attribute what they've done defensively to the caliber
of opponent and the caliber of quarterback. I kind of
look at it, though, and I see a lot of
young guys making contributions on defense. Are we starting to
(02:45):
see some building blocks form for.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
What this defense is going to be beyond twenty twenty four?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, I think absolutely. I mean, you look last week
they had three sacks from rookies with Chris Jenkins getting
too and n Kelly jack And getting on. Josh Newton
is playing better, Jordan Battle is really coming along and
starting to play better. On the back end. The safety
position has been such an issue the last two years.
So that's a really encouraging sign. Joseph Osai, we don't
(03:14):
know he's you know, he's gonna be free agent. We
don't know if he's going to be back. He's he's
been playing well that there's still a lot of questions
about Miles Murphy, but you're you're seeing it it start
to kind of come together. But you're right, a degree
of difficulty has not been that great when you're playing
Cooper Rush and Will Levis and dt R and this
is going to be a bigger test, but it's still
(03:35):
a rookie quarterback and and and the Broncos have not
been electric offensively. They're functional and they do things. They
do things well running the ball, but I don't think
it's a it's an offense that scares you.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Who's playing their final home game on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Wow. I mean maybe Joseph Osai. That's I don't know,
if they bring in there's probably a lot of guys
that I wish I had the roster he in front
of him, trying to piece him together. In my mind,
the guys gonna be gone, and maybe Mike Gisicki. He's
only on a one year deal. He may not be back.
Maybe Alex Kappa. There's there's some caps casualties of possibilities
(04:17):
out there too. I mean Sheldon Rncins. I would think
he's gone. He's not gonna play. He's already been ruled out.
But there's some guys that I don't think we're going
to see again next year. What about Mike Hilton, Yeah,
that's a good one. I know he wanted, he really
wanted to get another year this year, and the Bengals
were reluctant.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
To do that.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
He's he's kind of defying father time. He's playing really well.
He's kind of accepted this new role of not playing
on third down. I could see him coming back, and
you know, I think anybody that's here would want to
come back and have a shot at a ring. Knowing
how this offense is playing now, figure he making picks
the defense. Next year, you're gonna have a real shot.
And I don't know what his market's going to be
(04:57):
outside of Cincinnati, so I could see him going back.
I'm kind of a friendly contract, a little bit less
than what you're making right now.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, I think among the guys who could be playing
their last home game, he is beyond t Higgins of course,
maybe the most interesting. Well, enjoy the home finale. Thank
you as always, Jay.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
All right, thanks Moe, you got it.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Twenty five minutes after four o'clock, Jay Morrison covering the

Harper Station in the Montgomery area.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Right off, pretty close at least to I to seventy five.
We had a gentleman during the break say, where can
I sign up for tickets?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
We've got a registration box.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
We're give it away tickets to the game, and I
have an All American burger being delivered to me as
we speak. There's a lot of injuries to talk about.
Orlando Brown is coming back. I'm interested in Sam Hubbard.
A lot of us have wondered if Sam has played
his final down as a Bengal. If the Bengals make
the postseason, could he somehow come back and play. We'll
(06:08):
spend some time on him. Also Tankedell of the Houston
Texans with the double injury. The dislocated kneecap and an
MCL tear. Will spend some time on that as well,
and Zach Fremantle's injury and the uncertainty hovering over his
status for the remainder of Xavier season. As the Musketeers
get said to continue Biggie's play, still looking for their
(06:29):
first league win. We'll chat with one of the experts
from Orthos since the Orthopedic Sports Medicine when we come
back later on this hour. Fantasy Football with our guy,
Dan Glaskins. We're a Buffalo wild Wings Harper Station on
