Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Skyline Chile. Sincey three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati,
sponsored in part by Skyline Chile. Stop by Skyline Chili
for a three way or cheese coney today. Feeling good,
It's Skyline time. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Good afternoon, Welcome minute's the latest edition of Cincy three
sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. We are
a service of our good friends at Skyline Chili. Or
anytime you're feeling good and hungry, it is always Skyline time.
It's also a big day Austin at Skyline because the
next installment of the Bobblehead is out today. Mike Kasiki,
(00:45):
that's right now available at your local neighborhood Skyline Chill.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Shout out to Skyline for saying Mike Gasicki and not
Mike Gaseki. Shout out to Skyline Chili. I love it.
Are we allowed to talk about the other thing we
got today? I don't know. I think so. I don't
know yet. I mean, why would they send it to
us if we couldn't talk about it? Yeah, I guess
that's true. Skyline's coming out with a chicken chili. Really, yes, really,
(01:13):
Now I don't know all the details. We'll get we'll
get the get you the details.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, I'm at Skyline Chili dot com and the homepage
says new chicken chili bang, same legendary taste, new protein option.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So they got the participating locations up, they got that
going on, They got the bobbleheads going on, and really, Austin,
look at you can't really just get one bobblehead. They're
smart with how they did it because each bobblehead has
a letter on the bottom and they connect together. So
the Joe Burrow bobblehead head, the w MI Kasiki has
the H. Next week Jamar Chase will have the O. Right,
(01:51):
that's who, and then the day right. They're smart, d
e y, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
According to the Skyline website, a Skyline chicken chili, cheese,
coney twenty three grams of protein. How about that? What
about if you got a regular three way oh sixty
grams of protein? Getting that protein? It I ain't too
bad now, begging now.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
For those that are wondering, Yes, you can still get
the original chili. That's never gonna change. It's just another
protein option, yeah, for people to go for.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I saw a tweet recently that said, did anybody ask
protein if it wants to be in all these things?
Protein's everywhere? Yet what about the protein? It's all over
the place? What about the protein? I like protein? Good question.
Have you had clear protein?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So it's it's basically like this has become a big
thing where you know you typically you think of a
protein shake or powder and it's real like kind of
a thick powdery substance. But this clear protein is a
thin powdery but when you put it into water, you
can't see it and it tastes like water or whatever.
So I had been trying this protein. That's like it
(03:04):
was watermelon flavored. Okakay, So you throw it in you
got some ice thoughts of protein powder, blah blah blah,
shake it up, drink it. It tastes like a juice.
It tastes like a can of pop whatever, like watermelon flavored.
It's like a Willy wonkin. It was like forty grams
of protein per serving.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It was like no calories hardly at all. It was awesome. Wow,
these are the good parts of science. We love science.
When's the last time you had a protein shake, I
not long ago. Have you lost weight recently? Yeah? I
think so. I can think. I could note, I could tell, ye, yeah,
I'm losing some lbs. I could tell what have you
(03:43):
been doing? What's your secret? Not being such a degenerate
with how I eat and drink? I will say your
door dash orders almost have stopped completely. Yeah, yeah, and
I give you a lot of kudos for that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
If I eat downstairs, it's usually like a chicken and
cheese case of dia, some grilled chicken right, something along
those lines. I think I'm just, yeah, just not eating
as bad.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You're being careful in what you select. Yeah, now, must
like the New York Jets who carefully just selected Isaiah
Williams off the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Practice, Well, they they dropped one of their receivers. They
dropped exavier gifts. He fumbled a punt, Yeah, he fumbled
the bag.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
This dude won a game for them two years ago
on a punt return to touches matter and you fumble
the bag, You're out. Yep. You get the bag and
fumble it. I get the bag and flip it and
tumble it. How about that? That's a lyric for you. Right,
We're gonna do our best over there is this this shot?
Is it gonna be this type of show today?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Might be because we're gonna do our best over the
next three hours to get you as much sports information
as possible. That's what we always do. Zach Taylor speaks
to the media. At one o'clock, we'll play that. We'll
just talk Dan Hoarde, Yes, the Hall of Fame voice
of the Bearcats, the voice of the Bengals. He's gonna
join us at two o'clock. We'll pick his brain about
(05:01):
the Bengals. We'll pick his brain about the Bearcats as well.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I have a question for you. I'm gonna rip off
the Dan Patrick show. Okay, I just saw they posted
this on Twitter, and I just want to we don't
have to turn this into a discussion discussion, but I just
want to know from you. Would you rather hit sixty
homers or hit four hundred in a season? Sixty homers? Yeah,
me too, yep. Right by the way, Couching Ober hit
number fifty lastek fitty last night for Shorbo. Do all
(05:27):
the Reds combined have fifty? Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Just over it.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Steer de la Cruz and Hayes, the Big Bank all
have combined for forty nine nice. If I'm not mistaken nice.
I know Mode did a deep dive into that last
night at one point, so I have to go find it.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Speaking of Major League Baseball, Austin, somehow, some way, the
Reds are three back in the wild card. Now the
Giants are two back in the wild card, so that
it's a little bit different because you're now chasing another team.
But somehow, some way, this team just stays in arms
reach away, never to really get the wild card, but
never to be completely out of it, just to dangle
(06:07):
it out there enough. That's what the Reds are doing.
They won last night. How about this, Austin south Stewart
hit a homer in the first inn and they moved
him to number two in the lineup. Would have been
nice over the last couple months to maybe have south
Stewart's bat in the lineup. Yep, Will Benson, it doesn't
feel like has started for months.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I believe he started, Charlie said. The last time Will
Benson started a game was August first, and in that
game he basically won the game for the Reds. Yeah,
he kind of did the same thing last night.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Unbelievable playing the field last night and then Homer's last
night as well. The game was too too late. Tyler
Stevenson hit a two run home run. Reds win, Mets lose.
The Giants did win, so the Reds are three games
back in the Wildcard. The Giants are two games back
in the wild Card, and as we've talked about before,
the Giants do hold the season tiebreaker over the Cincinnati Reds.
(06:54):
We'll look ahead a little bit of what's coming up
for the Reds as we go. Speaking of things that
are coming up, did you see Xavier release their December
Big East schedule?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I did see this. There are a lot of people
a little unhappy about this, as they should be. Xavier
is going to play some of their high end Big
East opponents in December while students aren't even in class.
What do we make of this? I think it sucks. Yeah,
(07:25):
who's is it? Anyone's fault?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Dell?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I'm sure it's probably the Big East fault. That'd be
my guess, But I don't know that. I don't really know.
I don't know who understand fully, like like conference schedules
into all of that.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, they're going to play on December seventeenth, Creighton, on
the twentieth, they're at Georgetown, and on the thirty first that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
They have Yukon come into town. And surely not all
those schools are on the same academic character, right, Sure,
So just that's a that's a tough December schedule after
a non conference. It's especially difficult for Xavier, being as
much of a commuter school as it is. That's kind
of a unique problem for Xavier as compared to some
(08:04):
of the other schools in the Big East. Not every
school in the Big East, but yeah, what else is happening?
Jalen Carter, he served essentially his game suspension by not
playing in the Dallas game. According to the NFL. Yeah,
I mean not a second went off the clock before
he was he left, so his ejection served as a suspension.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
He's not going to be missing any future games now.
There's obviously a fine that goes into play here fifty
seventh game, that game one check fifty seven thousand. But
he is available this week, that is the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas
City Chiefs. They did say, and by they, I mean
the top NFL reporters and insiders that there is some
significance behind this because it kind of sets the precedent.
Yeah that the NFL, if you spit on somebody's going
to suspend you for a game. Surely we don't have
to set a precedent about spitting on people. Well, you
(09:02):
never know, you know, I mean it happens. It's happened more,
I get it. I mean it happened in college football
over the weekend at Florida Pacvan Jones does that to
people sometimes. Oh man, how about college football? What do
you think of what's going on with the shoe on
Saturday when they're going to try to do the helmet stripe.
I think that's a good idea on this shoe. He's
a good idea. Now, Like what do they have, Like
the sides of the stadium are all supposed to wear
(09:22):
gray and then like the student section. I don't even
think side sections are white and then red in the middle.
I don't think they have to wear gray on the
other decks. I think it's just no. I saw gray
all around. I don't know if that's true. What do
you make about that? Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Cool?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
When things are done right like that? Ohio state for
a night game. If you've never been as cool as hell,
it's really really cool, and this just kind of adds
to that. Yeah, but you're right, I see it on
there where Gray. I didn't think they were making him
wear gray on the sides, but yeah they are.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's cool if you can do stuff like that, right,
it's awesome. Like when they stripe the Jungle. Yeah, and
everyone follows along. It's sweet, but you got to have
everyone on board. I do think it's tough. Like I
still don't understand why the Bengals chose the Lions for
the Stripe the Jungle game this year because Lions fans, well,
they travel really really well. There's gonna be a lot
(10:16):
of Honolulu blue, which directly clashes and you know, like
last year they did Bengals Browns. Okay, you can hide
some Browns fans in the stands, Yeah, even though there
may not be that many of them, you can hide
them in the stands with their orange at least.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
But we'll see how it goes. I hope the Buck
guys do well. Speak to college football. What do you
make of this? This woman that's just getting crushed about
her AP ballot? Yeah, not a great look for her.
I don't think Hailey Sawyer.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, is she essentially just saying that, you know, the
voting is fun and people should should chill out a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Uh, you just want to hear from her, Can we
hear this? Here's what she said. Yeah, so, people, by
the way, were criticizing her AP ballot and this is
her response.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
But as far as what my votes are and what
my process is, you know, I wake up early in
the morning after covering a game late in the night before.
Don't want to go too much into my progress or
process or logic. But I will say I appreciate everybody's
interaction on social media and all of your feedback. You know,
(11:22):
there's tons of people that vote on the AP pole
and like it's not a perfect system, but at the
end of the day, like no matter who you pick,
it does even out because there's so many people who vote,
and like I said, it's really fun for discussion. It
doesn't you know, probably matter in the end, but I'm
glad that people are having a really good time with you.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, let's just have fun with it. So the reason
that this came up, she was doing this interview on
a zoom but in her AP pole, she moved Florida
up two spots to number fourteen. Yes, and the team
that beat them, USF, remains unranked. Yeah, us, how does
(12:03):
that make any sense?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
USF, who, by the way, beat a top twenty five
Boise in week one and then went to the swamp
and just beat Florida, and somehow Florida goes up south
Florida doesn't get ranked. Yeah, And the response like, well,
you know, as long as everyone's having fun, let's just
keep the voting fun. Yeah, which to a point like
the ratings really don't matter at this point.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well, it is interesting because everybody has a different way
of doing their AP ballot. Like there's a guy Chad
Bishop who his affiliation is with Georgia Tech, if I'm
not mistaken, and the way he does it, for my understanding,
is truly on a week to week basis. So like
the other last week he had Notre Dame unranked and
(12:47):
then they didn't play and he moved him to number eight.
I don't understand that entirely. He also dropped Old Miss
from number nineteen to unranked after they won at Kentucky
if they didn't cover and Lane Kiffin knew it, So
maybe it has to do with gambling.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh the way, what do we mean with Lane Kiff
and when he when he apologized to the gamblers for
not covering the spread at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't like that he said that. Yeah, And I
don't like that he said that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Like that to me that that almost crosses a little
bit of a line. But it is if you're that
aware of things, that's what you're thinking about so prevalent
that it's like it's everywhere. Well, you know, they hear
about it. If they don't come, like social media wise,
they're going to hear about it. Yeah, exactly. He's just
kind of out there like, hey, by the way, I apologize.
(13:32):
I just don't know if it's a good look for
a college football coach to be like, yeah, we knew
what the spread was.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Do you know how many AP ballots have LSU at
number one.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't know, because I think, yeah, they they just
didn't play as well this last week.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
One of them is Rhys Davis. Well, they didn't play
as well this week. And if you look at Clemson,
who was down what seventeen to three or seventeen six
at a half against Troy, maybe you overvalue Clemson a
little bit and that changes the week one feel LSU
kind of stumbled a little bit weak. Two Now their
schedule picks up as well. But yeah, I'm a little
shocked by two. How do you feel about LSU at
(14:14):
number two? They haven't necessarily been excuse me, Penn State
at number two? Penn State because they haven't necessarily been
dominant Penn State.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I just don't understand, because when you get ranked that
high to start the year, what's going to knock you down? Like,
they're not going to lose to Nevada, They're not going
to lose to FIU, They're not going to lose to
Villanova this week. Now after that they do host Oregon,
which Oregan's number four right now.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I found out about forty eight hours ago Villanova had
a football team. Yeah, I didn't even know that, Jay Wright,
I think as their coach came to the football side,
Robert Sesna, Oh not the aircraft. Not the aircraft. Robert
Sesna has Oregon at number one? Your thoughts? No, No, Now,
they did completely obliterate Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State, which,
(15:05):
by the way, what a fall that program's had. Oklahoma
State and they used to be a perennial top twenty
team under Mike Gundy, right at least in the top
twenty five. I think they were.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Always unless but they never really want anything, no, but
they always were kind of hanging around. It's interesting look
to me.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And we've talked about like, at what point of the
year do you think the the rankings really matter, like October? Yeah,
once you get into conference play. I'll be honest, I'm
two weeks into UC season. I don't know who they
are yet, and I don't know if they know full
And I think there's a lot of teams like that
right now because of how different the game is and
(15:49):
how different the off seasons and roster construction is. I
don't know how you for sure know much about any
team right now. What do you think about abolishing preseason rankings, Well,
the Big Gum did that, waiting until like October first
to put out rankings.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I still like the preseason because it gives you a
little bit more bulletin board stuff when it comes to
those early season matchups. Okay, I'd be good with it,
but I mean I don't think that it carries much
weight for me. I have to ask is bulletin board?
Is that overblown?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean, how often was Brian Kelly or anyone else
that you played for at Cincinnati or in the National
Football League saying here's what so and so said about us.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Not really what they said, but like two thousand and eight,
we were picked I think next to last in the
Big East. Okay, so you can use that like no
one believes in you, no one thinks you can do anything,
prove them wrong type mentality. And then at nine, after
we won it, no. Eight and brought so much back.
I think we were picked third preseason, so that was okay,
and Rutgers was picked ahead of us. So for a
lot of our training camp we knew we opened the
(16:54):
season at Rutgers on a Monday. Was on Monday, Labor Day,
standalone game, the birthplace of college football. Really yeah, our
chance to be like, hey, we're better than than number three.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
How'd you do in that game? Crossed him. No, I
mean how do you personally do? It's pretty good? How
many picks? One pick? Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It was on a screen pass that we were throwing
to Isaiah Pete and the guy like made a one
handed leaping interception, was falling down Was it one of
the uh McCarty brothers. No, no, no, it was a
great interception. My I mean we we got your telling me,
guy just made a play.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Made a play. We smoked him. I mean it was
it was a beat down in rock, but it was
the beatdown in Piscataway. I think they still call it.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Was it forty four to something? Yeah, it was never close.
I got it right here. Forty seven fifteen Yeah. Wow,
I think Travis Kelcey found the end zone in that game.
Let me twice. Travis Kelcey caught three passes or no,
he carried the ball three times. He was our wildcard quarterback.
Eighteen yards and two touchdown, two tutters, yeah, two tutters. Uh, youth,
(17:59):
you were you want to guess I have, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't even be able to tell you. I have
no idea. You were twenty seven for thirty four three
and sixty two yards, three touchdowns, one interception. It was
the hell of a pick. The interception was by Alex Silvestro. Oh.
(18:20):
Alex Silvestro went on to play in the National Football
League yep, based on that play probably got him drafted
with the Patriots for one season. Yeah. You may have
won Super Bowl. Actually we beat them down. That was fun,
fun time. Mohammed Sanu went nuts the next game for
one hundred and one yards. Yep, not enough. Now you
remember who the quarterback was for Rutgers. Oh, my gosh,
(18:44):
they had one. They used three quarterbacks on the day. Yeah,
I'm gonna know it as soon as you say it.
He played in the NFL for a little while. Yeah,
it was Tom Savage. Yep, Tom Savage fifteen to twenty three,
buck thirty five having a touch But this guy Dominic
Natalie was Natalie Natalie. He was eight for twelve, one
(19:07):
hundred and eight yards, no touchdowns, three picks, and then
some dude named Jabu Lovelace was oh for two and
not good for him. Aaron Webster, Demetrius Jones and JK. Schaeffer.
Wonder what he's doing all intercepted passes. You also forgot
about the uh one of my other stats in that
game that was I think I believe a sixteen fifteen
sixteen yard rush. Uh, it does have here you had
(19:30):
two carries for seven yards with the long of sixteen.
There you go. Because of course, the sacks, yep, sacks
always get you yeah, you were sacked. I don't see
if I don't, I don't see it on here a
little trip down memory lane. Man, how about that. We
used to do this a lot, and it's not in
a while. It's good. We needed a segment like that.
You completed passes to everybody that well. Zach Khalaris was
(19:53):
two for two. Yeah, we spread it around. Kolaris did
have a better QBR than you and the game, yeah,
and his average was higher probab though in completion he wasn't.
He was two for two. Yeah, But receptions in the
game by Marty Gilliard, d J. Woods, Isaiah Pede, Ben Goodooley,
Jamar Howard armand Ben's, Jacob Ramsey, Kazim Ali, Yeah, Adrian
(20:13):
Robinson and Darren Williams. That's about right. Run it all
over them. Jake Rodgers was one for one running all
over them cats from the field and six for six
and extra points yep, also punted.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Those statistics could have been even more skewed had Travis
Kelcey not stolen two red zone wildcat quarterback touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
So there's that mule's to say about you that they
have to put in a wildcat quarterback first.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Game of the Year. We were trying to show as
much as we could first game of the year. Obviously
he didn't show.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Locke is at a seventeen yard or sixteen yard rush,
second longest of the game by any running back.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So here's that. We'll take a break on that a
little bit. Breaks since three six thanks to Skyline Chile.
We'll get back to some Bengals football when we come back.
I'm the home of the Bengals ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Station.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Is Football in the Natti, brought to you by Hey
during Window Company on ESPN fifteen point thirty, the official
home of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Welcome back since he three to sixty thanks to Skyline Chili.
Football in the Natti. Real quick peek ahead to Sunday,
where it's gonna be warm.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Austin gonna be hot out there. It's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Almost ninety degrees on Sunday the Jungle. The Jungle will
be rock and of course the Bengals are wearing orange.
The Bengals right now three and a half point favorites
against Jacksonville. Do you have a minute to spare? I do,
because the Bengals just released a hype video. Okay, and
(21:48):
normally why would I play a hype video over the air?
But the audio is powerful. Oh have you heard this?
I've had heard this.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Okay, I'm gonna place this fifty nine seconds long. All right,
take a list of going into the jungle? Do you
hear that?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Come on, we're home. Welcome to the jungle where survival
means Descenday, are you the hunter or are you the prey?
(22:30):
This is no sanctuary, no mercy, no forgiveness, no escape.
It's a battlefield draped in orange.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Jungle.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Bengals don't usually hunt jaguars, but if they're hungry enough.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I'll tell you what jungle draped in orange? A battlefield
draped in orange. That made the hair on the back
of my next stand up.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I want to go be the twelfth Man. After hearing that, Wow,
A Bengal doesn't normally hunt a jaguar, but if it's
hungry enough, and the visual is of a Bengal tiger lipping,
licking his chops, and you hear the that was pretty good.
That was sick. That's good. That might have been the
best type video the Bengals have ever dropped. And you
(23:30):
know the visuals of Trevor Lawrence in their previous matchup.
I like it. That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm fired up now. Walls not bubbles. I mean, I'm lucky.
I got the door open.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
The Bengals are right now installed as a three and
a half point favorite against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
We'll talk a little bit that mine hasn't moved opened
their stay there. We'll talk a little bit with the
the Jaguars, with Dan Horde when we talked to him
at two o'clock this afternoon. I'm sure you'll hear Zach
Taylor and his comments coming out of the Browns game
and ahead of the Jacksonville game. But I think what
(24:15):
stands out the most is Travis Etn who ran for
one hundred and forty three yards. Yeah, and as we
were talking yesterday, by shoul touton they traded Tank Bigsby
to the Eagles, and part of the reason for that
was because they're big believers in By should Teuton, By
should Teuton? Okay, so we'll see if he gets involved.
(24:37):
The Jags already earlier today promoted a running back from
their practice squad to their active roster, obviously for depth reasons.
But let's keep an eye out for Jags and their
injury report and all that. But curious to see what
Dan thinks, what stands out to Dan as he gets ready.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Brian Thomas Junior had seven targets, but only caught one
of them.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I would assume that the game plan for the Angles
and the Jags is gonna be similar. Give the ball
to our LSU wide receiver yep early.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And like often. Travis Hunter led them in targets with eight.
Did not play much on the defensive side of the ball,
but he was targeted eight times. He caught six of them,
albeit for just thirty three yards. There is a player
for them that a lot of folks are high on,
and it's Breton Strange.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
To say, this guy scares me a little bit. Four catches,
fifty nine yards. He caught all four of his targets.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But I was reading like and doing some fantasy football drafts, like, hey,
these are guys to target in late rounds. Breton Strange
was on every list that I read, and they picked
up right there with Trevor Lawrence. And Trevor Lawrence only
threw for a bucks seventy eight. He did through an interception,
but again, fifty nine of those yards went to their
(25:52):
tight end, Breton Strange.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, I've been watching it. I actually have the game
on in here right now, their game against Carolina, and
it's just one of those guys where you're like, who
is that? Yeah, and you go and look, Okay, this
guy makes a lot of sense why he's there, and
they use him out in space to block as well
set up for some some stuff for Travis Hunter. So
gonna be uh an interesting matchup because it always seems
(26:15):
like the Bengals can't cover tight ends, and tight ends
were a huge, huge part of Cleveland's plan last week.
Harold Fannin got involved, David and Joku got involved. Always
been an issue. How how many defenders for the Jacksonville
Jaguars can you name? I know Josh heinz Allen. Yeah,
he he had one quarterback kid and that was the
(26:37):
only stat he registered on Sunday. Really, yes, interesting, I
know they have a cornerback. Jordan Lewis used to play
for the Cowboys. Yes, I think he's a Michigan guy.
Three passes defended on Sunday Jordan Lewis. Yeah, okay, all right,
And I have a guy that I can never pronounce
his name. It's like Alutakun or a lutacan. Foyesod a
(26:59):
little okay. Ten tackles and then they got a number
one overall pick, Trayvon Walker. Yeah, did not do much.
Had two total tackles in the game. What about Eric Armstead, Yeah,
the Walter Payton Man of the Year, Emmanuel Ogba. Oh
the East been around a while. Yeah, but don't they
have that dude they just traded from Saints. Kaylin Sanders,
big fella. Yeah, it's like nine hundred pounds.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You and I, I mean we talked about this when
we saw each other, and you asked me how many
offensive linemen for the Jaguars could I name? Yeah? Not many.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
There's not a ton of big names on their defense.
But they did hold the Carolina Panthers to ten points.
And say what you want about Carolina. I thought Bryce
Young was playing good football at the end of last year,
and they held him to about fifty percent passing and
intercepted him twice.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And only sacked Bryce Young once, which I think is
interesting considering that Carolina was playing from behind yeah the
entire game, and he dropped back to pass thirty five times. Yep,
and actually you could go forty considering the fact that
he ran the ball five times. Yeah, so only one
set back on thirty five to forty dropbacks. That could
(28:03):
be good news.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, we will dive into this matchup much more as
the week goes on. We'll talk to Dan Horde about
it today. You'll hear Zach Taylor talk about it as well.
But right now again bangles three and a half point
favorites Sunday and their home opener, uh in the jungle
draped in orange, as we heard at the start of

This is Dan Horde joined Dave laphaman me for Bengals
game plan tonight starting at six on the official home
of the Bengals, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Since he three to sixty, you're listening on the SBN
fifteen thirty at Cincinnati Sports Station. We're a service of
Skyline Chili. If you haven't done so yet, make it
out to your local Skyline Chili and get the second
installment of their Bobblehead series.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It's Mike ASICKI today. If you could ask Zach Taylor
one question during his press conference today, what would you
ask why is it taking so long to get the
plays in? Yeah? I was kind of wondering the same thing.
Can I saw you posted the video? Yeah? At Tony
underscore Pike fifteen, I feel like, especially against like I'm
(30:34):
thinking ahead to Brian Floores next week, especially against Brian Floores,
Joe needs to get to the line of scrimmage and
see what's going on. You don't. You can't be doing that,
like if snapping the ball, clapping to get it out
and moving guys.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Around if you haven't seen it yet. I did post
a video today and all I did I took a
play from Sunday's game with the Bengals, and then I
picked a play. And you could pick a lot of
different quarterbacks who are really good at the line of
scrimmag but Rogers being where he's at an age, he's
so smart at the line of scrimmage, and the two plays,
it's very easily depicted. Joe Burrow is trying to change
(31:09):
a play because the look that Cleveland is showing is
not going to help the play they're running. They were
originally line up under center, so he changes the play
and he walks back in the shotgun and Austin as
soon as he gets in the shotgun he has to
start clapping because there's like three on the play clock,
three two, and the ball snapped and he didn't even
have a chance to read things out. The other clip
(31:29):
that's posted with it shows Aaron Rodgers, with about fifteen
to eighteen seconds at the line of scrimmage, gets up there,
moves the back, changes the protection, moves the back again,
gives a fake snap count, analyzes what the defense is doing,
and much like Joe Burrow, who's so good at the
line and understanding the mental of the game, if you
(31:51):
give your quarterback that much time, they're going to know
where to go with the ball. And I believe Joe
Burrow made the wrong read. He had jamar Cha wide open,
would have been a first down, I'm probably more. Instead,
he tried to fit the ball into Micasicki and I
think they even met a comment on the broadcast about
you know, why was Joe reading that side? I don't
think he had time to read everything because the plays
(32:13):
were coming in so late. You saw the frustration when
he was taking the timeouts, and then you flip it
around and you watch a clip of Aaron Rodgers get
fifteen seconds to operate. Defense doesn't have a chance. I mean,
it's just it's night and day. They have got to
do a better job. And my question would be why
does it at times take long to get the plays in.
(32:35):
I believe the one was coming off the thirty minute
drive right the second drive in the game.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They took a time out to start the drive. Yeah,
something like that. Reading here from Charlie Goldsmith, they're talking
to Dan Pitcher right now. When asked about the timeouts,
Pitcher spoke about wanting to get in as comfortable looks
as you can be versus Miles Garrett. Timeouts were used appropriately,
(33:01):
but obviously you'd rather be able to save those. So
I think the point they're trying to make is play
call has to get in quicker so that you can
adjust to where Miles Garrett is at at the line
of scrimmage and go from there. Either way, whether Miles
Garrett's on the other side or not, the play call
(33:22):
needs to get in quicker, just for in general setting
up the offense and getting a look at the defense. Correct, Yeah, correct,
And I wonder like, if you're Zach Taylor, how do
you like is there what do you do to make
that a point of emphasis?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
How can you I think you could do it at practice?
You would think you could just try it practice to
get things going quicker. And obviously being at home is
going to help you a little bit. But even that, like,
get the play in and then let Joe do the rest.
He's in his six year right, correct, We talked all
the time about how he's seen everything. Let him go
do the rest, get the play in and trust that
(33:57):
he can get it done at the line of scrimmage.
And I think you could, like you could practice situations
at practice Austin, you could run team drills and instead
of starting to play like you could start at the
playcock at like eighteen, right, and just make sure it
make it feel rushed, and then by the time you
get into the game, all of a sudden it feels
a little bit more calm.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I don't know, but to me, that's got to get better.
Let's take a phone call. We've got John calling in
right now.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
What's up John, Good afternoon, Fellas.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Pretty much what we talked about yesterday right when we
were talking about the play calls coming in too late,
and that Joe and Aaron Rodgers are the two best
pre snap and as far as processing, so it's got
to get the play in quicker. But I also have
to think you have to have a mindset. I don't
let the pursuit of perfection be the enemy of good.
Like if you're trying to get into the perfect play
from the sideline or with the line of scrimmage, sometimes
(34:50):
you're just wasting a lot of time and not getting
a lot done. So getting that call in earlier gives
Joe Burrow ample time to read the defense which he's
attack they're at. You're taking away one of his best weapons.
So I think that's something that will get better as
the season goes on. I would think if it doesn't,
then it is an issue.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I feel like there's been frustration in the past from
Joe Burrow when the play's not coming in quick enough.
I just I don't think you have to protect him
as much. If you're Zach Taylor, you have to trust
that Joe is one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL,
and as a play caller. The more time you give
him to operate at the line of scrimmage, the better
(35:31):
the opportunity you're going to have to have a successful play,
whether that's run or pass. The longer Joe has to
assess everything, it's going to be a lot easier going
forward to have success on those plays.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Absolutely, and that's why the scripted plays work so well,
because they're already into the play sheet. They're already scripted
so that the offense knows what plays are going to
come in the first fifteen plays. I also wanted to
be a little light hided today Wednesday hump Day, so
we're kind of done with the first game and all
see tomorrow and Priday. You guys will preview the next game.
I remember about a month and a half ago. I
(36:04):
promise you guys, if Joe Burrow wins the MVP, since
I have some good tickets up at the casino in
New Hampshire, that I would send you some really good
Italian food ball. I've got other tickets as well. This
is going to be even a better offer, I promise.
I've got the Bengals winning the AFC winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
A great ticket is they win.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
The Super Bowl and he's League MVP, which I think
could happened. And another great ticket is Bengals, Trackers, Bengals,
Ram super Bowl. If we hit some of those, the
heck With's sending you guys food will fly out here
to take.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I'm in. I'm in on that. Look if the Bengals,
Tony would love to, but he's gonna have a disaster
of a weekend, so he's not going to be available.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
If the Bengals are competing for the Super Bowl. Joe
Burrow's an MVP exactly that that's.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
The first one, and then get that one out of
the way and hopefully the tentacles of that will reach into.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
A lot of winnings.
Speaker 8 (36:55):
But we wouldn't do it till the spring because this
is a horrible place to be in the winter.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
I mean, you guys don't have great witness.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, probably couldn't even fly in there.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That probably gonna happen.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
They might be eighteen inches of snow on the ground
when you guys decided to come.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
But that sounds awesome and it comes.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
True, John, I love it, man, Thank you so much
for the phone call.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Thanks man, that sounds awesome. I can mess with some
Italian food. I can mess with some Italian I could
mess for some cold weather, some snow, all that sort
of stuff. Now I believe. I believe. My senior year,
Big East Media Day was in like Providence, Rhode Island,
and they did like a big lobster boil. That was
(37:38):
just my nightmare, Oh my gosh, because there's just cameras
and they're film and everything, and you gotta act like
you like it. I could. I could have won an
Academy Award for my performance that day. That lobster has
to be, like, there's a very specific way that I
like lobster. Well mine, the only reason I got it
down was a lot of butter. All right, Butter is
(38:00):
a big part of it. Yep, you get one lobster roll,
like the role specific, you know, the way that works.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Yeah. I can't wait, though, to go back to Maine.
I say it all the time, which makes me think
about the weather to circle back. I hate that we
do this every years, three or four days where it's
like perfect fifty to sixty two degrees if that, and
it's just perfect yep, and there's not a cloud in
the sky. And then I think, starting tomorrow we're flirting
(38:31):
with ninety again for a week. I don't want to
do that. I hate that. I'm done with the hot weather.
Oh my gosh, it drives me. No, I'm with you
as a fat person. I really don't like the hot weather.
I hate the warm weather. First team all sweat over this.
If I've said this before, what the Friday night opener?
I had the iPad, went back, sat by a fire
(38:53):
and was watching the Chiefs and the Chargers. It couldn't
have been a more perfect night.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, at tempts into this sixties fire feels good. You
don't have to worry about bugs and mosquitoes biting you
when you're outside.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
I need more of that. Yeah, less of whatever the
heck we got going on this weekend. We'll take a break.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
What's going on? Mike?
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Hey, what's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 3 (41:42):
This is it? How you doing good?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (41:44):
This is here?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
I'm hanging. I don't like them orange uniforms, you guys do.
I don't like them. I think they're a little overdone,
a little too much orange. It's for me. I mean orange,
and I don't have a problem with orange, but man,
that's a lot of orange in my opinion. But I
like the white uniflor. I really like those white uniforms.
I really do. I don't.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I couldn't do it every week. But when they when
they sprinkle it in in variation, I don't mind the
the the differences.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Yeah, no, I typically don't. It's just that I didn't.
I don't remember watching them. I'm sure I having that
all orange. It's just like overwhelms the people. But anyway,
you were talking about that that ad that they did
for the upcoming game between the Bengals and the Jaguars,
(42:33):
and it's funny because tigers can't climb trees worth a craft.
But jaguars, Jaguars live in the trees, okay, and they're
a big cat. And I'm telling you, a jaguar can
jump on the back of a tiger and rip his
throat out before he even knows what the hell happened.
Jaguars are powerful, and they're very camouflaged up in those trees.
(42:56):
And I'm telling you, man, it ain't no joke.
Speaker 7 (42:59):
So the.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Video, while aesthetically pleasing, may not be as accurate as
we hoped.
Speaker 4 (43:06):
No, it's not. It's not. It's not accurate from a
true nature standpoint though. If you're watching up Jack Hannah.
But I'm taking I'm taking Jacksonville plus the three and
a half. I hope the Bengals win, but I think
Jacksonville just kind of gives them all they want.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
This is a it's a big game for the Bengals.
It's a big game for Austin. To Mike, because Austin
has has been on the Jaguars for a long time.
This offseason, he circled this game as a test for
the Bengals. I believe some in some Austin, you even
picked the Jaguars in this, but you've been on the
Jags for a while.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah, I think the Jags are good. I think they're
a bad matchup for the Bengals defense specifically. I have
a lot of faith in their offense and Liam Cohn.
I think it's gonna be a dog fight for the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Yeah, Cole is a colem really is af But he
talked about a schemer. That guy's a schemer because he
did a great job at Tampa, a great job for Baker.
He kind of made Baker really well. I wandering around
from team the team to finding a home in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
And watching him in Tampa, I think he really he
did a really good job of understanding what the defense
was attempting to take away and then highlighting the other stuff.
There would be games again, they ran the ball extremely
well in Week one against Carolina, but you go back
to some of those Tampa games as well. Baker could
throw it forty times or they could turn around and
hand it off to those running backs in Tampa, depending
(44:36):
on what the defense. So not only does he take
what the defense gives, but I think he can excel
at highlighting and magnifying that weakness or where they're vulnerable,
and he highlights it and he attacks it, no matter
what that be with the pass or the run.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
Yeah. So I don't know if he's serving as offensive
coordinator also or if he has an OC, but if
he does have an OC, you know he's scrutinizing everything
to poor os. I'd hate to be an OC for
a guy that can scheme like that.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Yeah, I mean, whether he's called or not, I'll we'll
check he calls the place.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay, his offensive coordinator is a first time OC, but
he's a very highly thought of offensive coordinator, like one
of those guys, like very much like Dan Pitcher, like
was fast rising through the system.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
Gotcha. And you know what the fastest land animal is
the cheat, right. They can run seventy miles now, guys,
they can run with your car on the freaking freeway.
Born to run that, like Bruce Springsteen said. And uh,
And I think the Bengals, the way the Bengals play
fast with that past game, I think they ought to
(45:43):
change the name of the Cincinnati Cheetahs doing.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
That in Michigan, moving on from the Wolverines or the Cheetahs.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
Now, yeah, the Cheetahs yeah, they are. You look at
those guys. If you look at their haunches, their backhaunches,
you can tell they're just born to blow out. They'll
run past the Greyhound like it's standing still.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
We unlocked the special interest of yours. Didn't like, I
didn't know about this about you.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Yeah, I'm really a nature say freaky. I get into
it because it's so fascinating. There's someone Hey. I heard
Mark Santez today say that he was so impressed with
Aaron Rodgers, and he went into why Tony. He said,
he looked so white on his feet that he's finally,
you know, gotten over the Achilles. But he said, what
(46:31):
Rogers does that you would never ever teach. Marchants said this,
but you would never teach a youngster in quarterback schools
like you do.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Is to throw.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
Passes with both your feet off the ground. Yeah, and
Rogers can do that and throw it like a seed,
he said, off both feet. Really that big of a deal.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yes, Yes, he's not one that you want to try
to emulate or practic this because he's one of a
very few that can do it like that. But he
does it at the highest level possible and it works
for him, and it creates a lot of issues for defenses,
and it definitely created issues for the Jets who could
not contain Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
Mike, thanks so much, man. We appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Thank you, Mike. You got it, brother, you got your
paying attention. Thank you, love it.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Thanks Mike. Yeah, you want a quick update on Grant Yudinsky. Oh,
it's the offensive coordinator for Jacksonville. Yeah, uh, he is
very much. What was the name I kept saying last
year about the Bengals? What coach did I keep bringing up?
Dan Pitcher? No, Justin Riscotti. He was a past game
(47:49):
coordinator with Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota and has brought a
lot of those concepts that they ran for Justin Jefferson. Well,
Grant Yudinsky for the last three years has been with
the Minnesota Vikings assistant offensive coordinator and assistant quarterbacks coach
under Kevin O'Connell. So this is part of the reason
why I'm a big believer in Jacksonville's offense.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
It is good to get them in game two, correct
as opposed to maybe Week twelve. But I still think
they just have a lot of challenges and I hope
the Bengals prove me wrong, but I think it's gonna
be one of those high scoring games on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Any guests they did this in twenty nineteen, any guests
which NFL mascow would have the quickest forty time? Not
the actual mascot itself, but the animal they're named after.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
So it's has It's definitely an animal, like it's not
one of the mythical creatures like a giant. Right, fastest
forty time? Yep? Why am I blanking on some of
these right now? You're wrong? It's the Atlanta falcon. Falcons
(48:53):
I know can fly very fast. Yeah, falcons are one.
There's a certain type of falcon that can get over
one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Seattle Seahawks two. Yeah, Swoop the eagle from Philadelphia's three,
and then Hohoda is four.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Interesting. Then you get the Jaguars, the ravens, the panthers,
and so we are faster than jaguars.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yes, we're faster, but they can climb tree in a tree,
and they climb, they can't they camouflage, they can't outrun us.
That is a fantastic conversation. Maybe someone can ask Zach
about that when we come.

a service of our good friends at Skyline Chili. Or
anytime you're feeling good and hungry, it is always Skyline time.
It's also a big day Austin at Skyline because the
next installment of the Bobblehead is out today. Mike Kasiki,
(00:45):
that's right now available at your local neighborhood Skyline Chill.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Shout out to Skyline for saying Mike Gasicki and not
Mike Gaseki. Shout out to Skyline Chili. I love it.
Are we allowed to talk about the other thing we
got today? I don't know. I think so. I don't
know yet. I mean, why would they send it to
us if we couldn't talk about it? Yeah, I guess
that's true. Skyline's coming out with a chicken chili. Really, yes, really,
(01:13):
Now I don't know all the details. We'll get we'll
get the get you the details.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, I'm at Skyline Chili dot com and the homepage
says new chicken chili bang, same legendary taste, new protein option.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So they got the participating locations up, they got that
going on, They got the bobbleheads going on, and really, Austin,
look at you can't really just get one bobblehead. They're
smart with how they did it because each bobblehead has
a letter on the bottom and they connect together. So
the Joe Burrow bobblehead head, the w MI Kasiki has
the H. Next week Jamar Chase will have the O. Right,
(01:51):
that's who, and then the day right. They're smart, d
e y, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
According to the Skyline website, a Skyline chicken chili, cheese,
coney twenty three grams of protein. How about that? What
about if you got a regular three way oh sixty
grams of protein? Getting that protein? It I ain't too
bad now, begging now.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
For those that are wondering, Yes, you can still get
the original chili. That's never gonna change. It's just another
protein option, yeah, for people to go for.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I saw a tweet recently that said, did anybody ask
protein if it wants to be in all these things?
Protein's everywhere? Yet what about the protein? It's all over
the place? What about the protein? I like protein? Good question.
Have you had clear protein?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So it's it's basically like this has become a big
thing where you know you typically you think of a
protein shake or powder and it's real like kind of
a thick powdery substance. But this clear protein is a
thin powdery but when you put it into water, you
can't see it and it tastes like water or whatever.
So I had been trying this protein. That's like it
(03:04):
was watermelon flavored. Okakay, So you throw it in you
got some ice thoughts of protein powder, blah blah blah,
shake it up, drink it. It tastes like a juice.
It tastes like a can of pop whatever, like watermelon flavored.
It's like a Willy wonkin. It was like forty grams
of protein per serving.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It was like no calories hardly at all. It was awesome. Wow,
these are the good parts of science. We love science.
When's the last time you had a protein shake, I
not long ago. Have you lost weight recently? Yeah? I
think so. I can think. I could note, I could tell, ye, yeah,
I'm losing some lbs. I could tell what have you
(03:43):
been doing? What's your secret? Not being such a degenerate
with how I eat and drink? I will say your
door dash orders almost have stopped completely. Yeah, yeah, and
I give you a lot of kudos for that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
If I eat downstairs, it's usually like a chicken and
cheese case of dia, some grilled chicken right, something along
those lines. I think I'm just, yeah, just not eating
as bad.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
You're being careful in what you select. Yeah, now, must
like the New York Jets who carefully just selected Isaiah
Williams off the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Practice, Well, they they dropped one of their receivers. They
dropped exavier gifts. He fumbled a punt, Yeah, he fumbled
the bag.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
This dude won a game for them two years ago
on a punt return to touches matter and you fumble
the bag, You're out. Yep. You get the bag and
fumble it. I get the bag and flip it and
tumble it. How about that? That's a lyric for you. Right,
We're gonna do our best over there is this this shot?
Is it gonna be this type of show today?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Might be because we're gonna do our best over the
next three hours to get you as much sports information
as possible. That's what we always do. Zach Taylor speaks
to the media. At one o'clock, we'll play that. We'll
just talk Dan Hoarde, Yes, the Hall of Fame voice
of the Bearcats, the voice of the Bengals. He's gonna
join us at two o'clock. We'll pick his brain about
(05:01):
the Bengals. We'll pick his brain about the Bearcats as well.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I have a question for you. I'm gonna rip off
the Dan Patrick show. Okay, I just saw they posted
this on Twitter, and I just want to we don't
have to turn this into a discussion discussion, but I just
want to know from you. Would you rather hit sixty
homers or hit four hundred in a season? Sixty homers? Yeah,
me too, yep. Right by the way, Couching Ober hit
number fifty lastek fitty last night for Shorbo. Do all
(05:27):
the Reds combined have fifty? Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Just over it.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Steer de la Cruz and Hayes, the Big Bank all
have combined for forty nine nice. If I'm not mistaken nice.
I know Mode did a deep dive into that last
night at one point, so I have to go find it.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Speaking of Major League Baseball, Austin, somehow, some way, the
Reds are three back in the wild card. Now the
Giants are two back in the wild card, so that
it's a little bit different because you're now chasing another team.
But somehow, some way, this team just stays in arms
reach away, never to really get the wild card, but
never to be completely out of it, just to dangle
(06:07):
it out there enough. That's what the Reds are doing.
They won last night. How about this, Austin south Stewart
hit a homer in the first inn and they moved
him to number two in the lineup. Would have been
nice over the last couple months to maybe have south
Stewart's bat in the lineup. Yep, Will Benson, it doesn't
feel like has started for months.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I believe he started, Charlie said. The last time Will
Benson started a game was August first, and in that
game he basically won the game for the Reds. Yeah,
he kind of did the same thing last night.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Unbelievable playing the field last night and then Homer's last
night as well. The game was too too late. Tyler
Stevenson hit a two run home run. Reds win, Mets lose.
The Giants did win, so the Reds are three games
back in the Wildcard. The Giants are two games back
in the wild Card, and as we've talked about before,
the Giants do hold the season tiebreaker over the Cincinnati Reds.
(06:54):
We'll look ahead a little bit of what's coming up
for the Reds as we go. Speaking of things that
are coming up, did you see Xavier release their December
Big East schedule?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I did see this. There are a lot of people
a little unhappy about this, as they should be. Xavier
is going to play some of their high end Big
East opponents in December while students aren't even in class.
What do we make of this? I think it sucks. Yeah,
(07:25):
who's is it? Anyone's fault?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Dell?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I'm sure it's probably the Big East fault. That'd be
my guess, But I don't know that. I don't really know.
I don't know who understand fully, like like conference schedules
into all of that.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, they're going to play on December seventeenth, Creighton, on
the twentieth, they're at Georgetown, and on the thirty first that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
They have Yukon come into town. And surely not all
those schools are on the same academic character, right, Sure,
So just that's a that's a tough December schedule after
a non conference. It's especially difficult for Xavier, being as
much of a commuter school as it is. That's kind
of a unique problem for Xavier as compared to some
(08:04):
of the other schools in the Big East. Not every
school in the Big East, but yeah, what else is happening?
Jalen Carter, he served essentially his game suspension by not
playing in the Dallas game. According to the NFL. Yeah,
I mean not a second went off the clock before
he was he left, so his ejection served as a suspension.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
He's not going to be missing any future games now.
There's obviously a fine that goes into play here fifty
seventh game, that game one check fifty seven thousand. But
he is available this week, that is the.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas
City Chiefs. They did say, and by they, I mean
the top NFL reporters and insiders that there is some
significance behind this because it kind of sets the precedent.
Yeah that the NFL, if you spit on somebody's going
to suspend you for a game. Surely we don't have
to set a precedent about spitting on people. Well, you
(09:02):
never know, you know, I mean it happens. It's happened more,
I get it. I mean it happened in college football
over the weekend at Florida Pacvan Jones does that to
people sometimes. Oh man, how about college football? What do
you think of what's going on with the shoe on
Saturday when they're going to try to do the helmet stripe.
I think that's a good idea on this shoe. He's
a good idea. Now, Like what do they have, Like
the sides of the stadium are all supposed to wear
(09:22):
gray and then like the student section. I don't even
think side sections are white and then red in the middle.
I don't think they have to wear gray on the
other decks. I think it's just no. I saw gray
all around. I don't know if that's true. What do
you make about that? Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Cool?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
When things are done right like that? Ohio state for
a night game. If you've never been as cool as hell,
it's really really cool, and this just kind of adds
to that. Yeah, but you're right, I see it on
there where Gray. I didn't think they were making him
wear gray on the sides, but yeah they are.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's cool if you can do stuff like that, right,
it's awesome. Like when they stripe the Jungle. Yeah, and
everyone follows along. It's sweet, but you got to have
everyone on board. I do think it's tough. Like I
still don't understand why the Bengals chose the Lions for
the Stripe the Jungle game this year because Lions fans, well,
they travel really really well. There's gonna be a lot
(10:16):
of Honolulu blue, which directly clashes and you know, like
last year they did Bengals Browns. Okay, you can hide
some Browns fans in the stands, Yeah, even though there
may not be that many of them, you can hide
them in the stands with their orange at least.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
But we'll see how it goes. I hope the Buck
guys do well. Speak to college football. What do you
make of this? This woman that's just getting crushed about
her AP ballot? Yeah, not a great look for her.
I don't think Hailey Sawyer.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yes, is she essentially just saying that, you know, the
voting is fun and people should should chill out a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Uh, you just want to hear from her, Can we
hear this? Here's what she said. Yeah, so, people, by
the way, were criticizing her AP ballot and this is
her response.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
But as far as what my votes are and what
my process is, you know, I wake up early in
the morning after covering a game late in the night before.
Don't want to go too much into my progress or
process or logic. But I will say I appreciate everybody's
interaction on social media and all of your feedback. You know,
(11:22):
there's tons of people that vote on the AP pole
and like it's not a perfect system, but at the
end of the day, like no matter who you pick,
it does even out because there's so many people who vote,
and like I said, it's really fun for discussion. It
doesn't you know, probably matter in the end, but I'm
glad that people are having a really good time with you.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, let's just have fun with it. So the reason
that this came up, she was doing this interview on
a zoom but in her AP pole, she moved Florida
up two spots to number fourteen. Yes, and the team
that beat them, USF, remains unranked. Yeah, us, how does
(12:03):
that make any sense?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
USF, who, by the way, beat a top twenty five
Boise in week one and then went to the swamp
and just beat Florida, and somehow Florida goes up south
Florida doesn't get ranked. Yeah, And the response like, well,
you know, as long as everyone's having fun, let's just
keep the voting fun. Yeah, which to a point like
the ratings really don't matter at this point.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well, it is interesting because everybody has a different way
of doing their AP ballot. Like there's a guy Chad
Bishop who his affiliation is with Georgia Tech, if I'm
not mistaken, and the way he does it, for my understanding,
is truly on a week to week basis. So like
the other last week he had Notre Dame unranked and
(12:47):
then they didn't play and he moved him to number eight.
I don't understand that entirely. He also dropped Old Miss
from number nineteen to unranked after they won at Kentucky
if they didn't cover and Lane Kiffin knew it, So
maybe it has to do with gambling.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh the way, what do we mean with Lane Kiff
and when he when he apologized to the gamblers for
not covering the spread at the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't like that he said that. Yeah, And I
don't like that he said that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Like that to me that that almost crosses a little
bit of a line. But it is if you're that
aware of things, that's what you're thinking about so prevalent
that it's like it's everywhere. Well, you know, they hear
about it. If they don't come, like social media wise,
they're going to hear about it. Yeah, exactly. He's just
kind of out there like, hey, by the way, I apologize.
(13:32):
I just don't know if it's a good look for
a college football coach to be like, yeah, we knew
what the spread was.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Do you know how many AP ballots have LSU at
number one.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't know, because I think, yeah, they they just
didn't play as well this last week.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
One of them is Rhys Davis. Well, they didn't play
as well this week. And if you look at Clemson,
who was down what seventeen to three or seventeen six
at a half against Troy, maybe you overvalue Clemson a
little bit and that changes the week one feel LSU
kind of stumbled a little bit weak. Two Now their
schedule picks up as well. But yeah, I'm a little
shocked by two. How do you feel about LSU at
(14:14):
number two? They haven't necessarily been excuse me, Penn State
at number two? Penn State because they haven't necessarily been
dominant Penn State.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I just don't understand, because when you get ranked that
high to start the year, what's going to knock you down? Like,
they're not going to lose to Nevada, They're not going
to lose to FIU, They're not going to lose to
Villanova this week. Now after that they do host Oregon,
which Oregan's number four right now.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I found out about forty eight hours ago Villanova had
a football team. Yeah, I didn't even know that, Jay Wright,
I think as their coach came to the football side,
Robert Sesna, Oh not the aircraft. Not the aircraft. Robert
Sesna has Oregon at number one? Your thoughts? No, No, Now,
they did completely obliterate Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State, which,
(15:05):
by the way, what a fall that program's had. Oklahoma
State and they used to be a perennial top twenty
team under Mike Gundy, right at least in the top
twenty five. I think they were.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Always unless but they never really want anything, no, but
they always were kind of hanging around. It's interesting look
to me.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And we've talked about like, at what point of the
year do you think the the rankings really matter, like October? Yeah,
once you get into conference play. I'll be honest, I'm
two weeks into UC season. I don't know who they
are yet, and I don't know if they know full
And I think there's a lot of teams like that
right now because of how different the game is and
(15:49):
how different the off seasons and roster construction is. I
don't know how you for sure know much about any
team right now. What do you think about abolishing preseason rankings, Well,
the Big Gum did that, waiting until like October first
to put out rankings.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I still like the preseason because it gives you a
little bit more bulletin board stuff when it comes to
those early season matchups. Okay, I'd be good with it,
but I mean I don't think that it carries much
weight for me. I have to ask is bulletin board?
Is that overblown?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean, how often was Brian Kelly or anyone else
that you played for at Cincinnati or in the National
Football League saying here's what so and so said about us.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Not really what they said, but like two thousand and eight,
we were picked I think next to last in the
Big East. Okay, so you can use that like no
one believes in you, no one thinks you can do anything,
prove them wrong type mentality. And then at nine, after
we won it, no. Eight and brought so much back.
I think we were picked third preseason, so that was okay,
and Rutgers was picked ahead of us. So for a
lot of our training camp we knew we opened the
(16:54):
season at Rutgers on a Monday. Was on Monday, Labor Day,
standalone game, the birthplace of college football. Really yeah, our
chance to be like, hey, we're better than than number three.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
How'd you do in that game? Crossed him. No, I
mean how do you personally do? It's pretty good? How
many picks? One pick? Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It was on a screen pass that we were throwing
to Isaiah Pete and the guy like made a one
handed leaping interception, was falling down Was it one of
the uh McCarty brothers. No, no, no, it was a
great interception. My I mean we we got your telling me,
guy just made a play.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Made a play. We smoked him. I mean it was
it was a beat down in rock, but it was
the beatdown in Piscataway. I think they still call it.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Was it forty four to something? Yeah, it was never close.
I got it right here. Forty seven fifteen Yeah. Wow,
I think Travis Kelcey found the end zone in that game.
Let me twice. Travis Kelcey caught three passes or no,
he carried the ball three times. He was our wildcard quarterback.
Eighteen yards and two touchdown, two tutters, yeah, two tutters. Uh, youth,
(17:59):
you were you want to guess I have, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't even be able to tell you. I have
no idea. You were twenty seven for thirty four three
and sixty two yards, three touchdowns, one interception. It was
the hell of a pick. The interception was by Alex Silvestro. Oh.
(18:20):
Alex Silvestro went on to play in the National Football
League yep, based on that play probably got him drafted
with the Patriots for one season. Yeah. You may have
won Super Bowl. Actually we beat them down. That was fun,
fun time. Mohammed Sanu went nuts the next game for
one hundred and one yards. Yep, not enough. Now you
remember who the quarterback was for Rutgers. Oh, my gosh,
(18:44):
they had one. They used three quarterbacks on the day. Yeah,
I'm gonna know it as soon as you say it.
He played in the NFL for a little while. Yeah,
it was Tom Savage. Yep, Tom Savage fifteen to twenty three,
buck thirty five having a touch But this guy Dominic
Natalie was Natalie Natalie. He was eight for twelve, one
(19:07):
hundred and eight yards, no touchdowns, three picks, and then
some dude named Jabu Lovelace was oh for two and
not good for him. Aaron Webster, Demetrius Jones and JK. Schaeffer.
Wonder what he's doing all intercepted passes. You also forgot
about the uh one of my other stats in that
game that was I think I believe a sixteen fifteen
sixteen yard rush. Uh, it does have here you had
(19:30):
two carries for seven yards with the long of sixteen.
There you go. Because of course, the sacks, yep, sacks
always get you yeah, you were sacked. I don't see
if I don't, I don't see it on here a
little trip down memory lane. Man, how about that. We
used to do this a lot, and it's not in
a while. It's good. We needed a segment like that.
You completed passes to everybody that well. Zach Khalaris was
(19:53):
two for two. Yeah, we spread it around. Kolaris did
have a better QBR than you and the game, yeah,
and his average was higher probab though in completion he wasn't.
He was two for two. Yeah, But receptions in the
game by Marty Gilliard, d J. Woods, Isaiah Pede, Ben Goodooley,
Jamar Howard armand Ben's, Jacob Ramsey, Kazim Ali, Yeah, Adrian
(20:13):
Robinson and Darren Williams. That's about right. Run it all
over them. Jake Rodgers was one for one running all
over them cats from the field and six for six
and extra points yep, also punted.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Those statistics could have been even more skewed had Travis
Kelcey not stolen two red zone wildcat quarterback touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
So there's that mule's to say about you that they
have to put in a wildcat quarterback first.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Game of the Year. We were trying to show as
much as we could first game of the year. Obviously
he didn't show.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Locke is at a seventeen yard or sixteen yard rush,
second longest of the game by any running back.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So here's that. We'll take a break on that a
little bit. Breaks since three six thanks to Skyline Chile.
We'll get back to some Bengals football when we come back.
I'm the home of the Bengals ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Station.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Is Football in the Natti, brought to you by Hey
during Window Company on ESPN fifteen point thirty, the official
home of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Welcome back since he three to sixty thanks to Skyline Chili.
Football in the Natti. Real quick peek ahead to Sunday,
where it's gonna be warm.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Austin gonna be hot out there. It's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Almost ninety degrees on Sunday the Jungle. The Jungle will
be rock and of course the Bengals are wearing orange.
The Bengals right now three and a half point favorites
against Jacksonville. Do you have a minute to spare? I do,
because the Bengals just released a hype video. Okay, and
(21:48):
normally why would I play a hype video over the air?
But the audio is powerful. Oh have you heard this?
I've had heard this.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Okay, I'm gonna place this fifty nine seconds long. All right,
take a list of going into the jungle? Do you
hear that?
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Come on, we're home. Welcome to the jungle where survival
means Descenday, are you the hunter or are you the prey?
(22:30):
This is no sanctuary, no mercy, no forgiveness, no escape.
It's a battlefield draped in orange.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Jungle.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Bengals don't usually hunt jaguars, but if they're hungry enough.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I'll tell you what jungle draped in orange? A battlefield
draped in orange. That made the hair on the back
of my next stand up.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I want to go be the twelfth Man. After hearing that, Wow,
A Bengal doesn't normally hunt a jaguar, but if it's
hungry enough, and the visual is of a Bengal tiger lipping,
licking his chops, and you hear the that was pretty good.
That was sick. That's good. That might have been the
best type video the Bengals have ever dropped. And you
(23:30):
know the visuals of Trevor Lawrence in their previous matchup.
I like it. That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I'm fired up now. Walls not bubbles. I mean, I'm lucky.
I got the door open.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
The Bengals are right now installed as a three and
a half point favorite against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
We'll talk a little bit that mine hasn't moved opened
their stay there. We'll talk a little bit with the
the Jaguars, with Dan Horde when we talked to him
at two o'clock this afternoon. I'm sure you'll hear Zach
Taylor and his comments coming out of the Browns game
and ahead of the Jacksonville game. But I think what
(24:15):
stands out the most is Travis Etn who ran for
one hundred and forty three yards. Yeah, and as we
were talking yesterday, by shoul touton they traded Tank Bigsby
to the Eagles, and part of the reason for that
was because they're big believers in By should Teuton, By
should Teuton? Okay, so we'll see if he gets involved.
(24:37):
The Jags already earlier today promoted a running back from
their practice squad to their active roster, obviously for depth reasons.
But let's keep an eye out for Jags and their
injury report and all that. But curious to see what
Dan thinks, what stands out to Dan as he gets ready.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Brian Thomas Junior had seven targets, but only caught one
of them.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I would assume that the game plan for the Angles
and the Jags is gonna be similar. Give the ball
to our LSU wide receiver yep early.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And like often. Travis Hunter led them in targets with eight.
Did not play much on the defensive side of the ball,
but he was targeted eight times. He caught six of them,
albeit for just thirty three yards. There is a player
for them that a lot of folks are high on,
and it's Breton Strange.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
To say, this guy scares me a little bit. Four catches,
fifty nine yards. He caught all four of his targets.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But I was reading like and doing some fantasy football drafts, like, hey,
these are guys to target in late rounds. Breton Strange
was on every list that I read, and they picked
up right there with Trevor Lawrence. And Trevor Lawrence only
threw for a bucks seventy eight. He did through an interception,
but again, fifty nine of those yards went to their
(25:52):
tight end, Breton Strange.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, I've been watching it. I actually have the game
on in here right now, their game against Carolina, and
it's just one of those guys where you're like, who
is that? Yeah, and you go and look, Okay, this
guy makes a lot of sense why he's there, and
they use him out in space to block as well
set up for some some stuff for Travis Hunter. So
gonna be uh an interesting matchup because it always seems
(26:15):
like the Bengals can't cover tight ends, and tight ends
were a huge, huge part of Cleveland's plan last week.
Harold Fannin got involved, David and Joku got involved. Always
been an issue. How how many defenders for the Jacksonville
Jaguars can you name? I know Josh heinz Allen. Yeah,
he he had one quarterback kid and that was the
(26:37):
only stat he registered on Sunday. Really, yes, interesting, I
know they have a cornerback. Jordan Lewis used to play
for the Cowboys. Yes, I think he's a Michigan guy.
Three passes defended on Sunday Jordan Lewis. Yeah, okay, all right,
And I have a guy that I can never pronounce
his name. It's like Alutakun or a lutacan. Foyesod a
(26:59):
little okay. Ten tackles and then they got a number
one overall pick, Trayvon Walker. Yeah, did not do much.
Had two total tackles in the game. What about Eric Armstead, Yeah,
the Walter Payton Man of the Year, Emmanuel Ogba. Oh
the East been around a while. Yeah, but don't they
have that dude they just traded from Saints. Kaylin Sanders,
big fella. Yeah, it's like nine hundred pounds.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
You and I, I mean we talked about this when
we saw each other, and you asked me how many
offensive linemen for the Jaguars could I name? Yeah? Not many.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
There's not a ton of big names on their defense.
But they did hold the Carolina Panthers to ten points.
And say what you want about Carolina. I thought Bryce
Young was playing good football at the end of last year,
and they held him to about fifty percent passing and
intercepted him twice.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And only sacked Bryce Young once, which I think is
interesting considering that Carolina was playing from behind yeah the
entire game, and he dropped back to pass thirty five times. Yep,
and actually you could go forty considering the fact that
he ran the ball five times. Yeah, so only one
set back on thirty five to forty dropbacks. That could
(28:03):
be good news.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, we will dive into this matchup much more as
the week goes on. We'll talk to Dan Horde about
it today. You'll hear Zach Taylor talk about it as well.
But right now again bangles three and a half point

This is Dan Horde joined Dave laphaman me for Bengals
game plan tonight starting at six on the official home
of the Bengals, Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Since he three to sixty, you're listening on the SBN
fifteen thirty at Cincinnati Sports Station. We're a service of
Skyline Chili. If you haven't done so yet, make it
out to your local Skyline Chili and get the second
installment of their Bobblehead series.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It's Mike ASICKI today. If you could ask Zach Taylor
one question during his press conference today, what would you
ask why is it taking so long to get the
plays in? Yeah? I was kind of wondering the same thing.
Can I saw you posted the video? Yeah? At Tony
underscore Pike fifteen, I feel like, especially against like I'm
(30:34):
thinking ahead to Brian Floores next week, especially against Brian Floores,
Joe needs to get to the line of scrimmage and
see what's going on. You don't. You can't be doing that,
like if snapping the ball, clapping to get it out
and moving guys.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Around if you haven't seen it yet. I did post
a video today and all I did I took a
play from Sunday's game with the Bengals, and then I
picked a play. And you could pick a lot of
different quarterbacks who are really good at the line of
scrimmag but Rogers being where he's at an age, he's
so smart at the line of scrimmage, and the two plays,
it's very easily depicted. Joe Burrow is trying to change
(31:09):
a play because the look that Cleveland is showing is
not going to help the play they're running. They were
originally line up under center, so he changes the play
and he walks back in the shotgun and Austin as
soon as he gets in the shotgun he has to
start clapping because there's like three on the play clock,
three two, and the ball snapped and he didn't even
have a chance to read things out. The other clip
(31:29):
that's posted with it shows Aaron Rodgers, with about fifteen
to eighteen seconds at the line of scrimmage, gets up there,
moves the back, changes the protection, moves the back again,
gives a fake snap count, analyzes what the defense is doing,
and much like Joe Burrow, who's so good at the
line and understanding the mental of the game, if you
(31:51):
give your quarterback that much time, they're going to know
where to go with the ball. And I believe Joe
Burrow made the wrong read. He had jamar Cha wide open,
would have been a first down, I'm probably more. Instead,
he tried to fit the ball into Micasicki and I
think they even met a comment on the broadcast about
you know, why was Joe reading that side? I don't
think he had time to read everything because the plays
(32:13):
were coming in so late. You saw the frustration when
he was taking the timeouts, and then you flip it
around and you watch a clip of Aaron Rodgers get
fifteen seconds to operate. Defense doesn't have a chance. I mean,
it's just it's night and day. They have got to
do a better job. And my question would be why
does it at times take long to get the plays in.
(32:35):
I believe the one was coming off the thirty minute
drive right the second drive in the game.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
They took a time out to start the drive. Yeah,
something like that. Reading here from Charlie Goldsmith, they're talking
to Dan Pitcher right now. When asked about the timeouts,
Pitcher spoke about wanting to get in as comfortable looks
as you can be versus Miles Garrett. Timeouts were used appropriately,
(33:01):
but obviously you'd rather be able to save those. So
I think the point they're trying to make is play
call has to get in quicker so that you can
adjust to where Miles Garrett is at at the line
of scrimmage and go from there. Either way, whether Miles
Garrett's on the other side or not, the play call
(33:22):
needs to get in quicker, just for in general setting
up the offense and getting a look at the defense. Correct, Yeah, correct,
And I wonder like, if you're Zach Taylor, how do
you like is there what do you do to make
that a point of emphasis?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
How can you I think you could do it at practice?
You would think you could just try it practice to
get things going quicker. And obviously being at home is
going to help you a little bit. But even that, like,
get the play in and then let Joe do the rest.
He's in his six year right, correct, We talked all
the time about how he's seen everything. Let him go
do the rest, get the play in and trust that
(33:57):
he can get it done at the line of scrimmage.
And I think you could, like you could practice situations
at practice Austin, you could run team drills and instead
of starting to play like you could start at the
playcock at like eighteen, right, and just make sure it
make it feel rushed, and then by the time you
get into the game, all of a sudden it feels
a little bit more calm.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I don't know, but to me, that's got to get better.
Let's take a phone call. We've got John calling in
right now.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
What's up John, Good afternoon, Fellas.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Pretty much what we talked about yesterday right when we
were talking about the play calls coming in too late,
and that Joe and Aaron Rodgers are the two best
pre snap and as far as processing, so it's got
to get the play in quicker. But I also have
to think you have to have a mindset. I don't
let the pursuit of perfection be the enemy of good.
Like if you're trying to get into the perfect play
from the sideline or with the line of scrimmage, sometimes
(34:50):
you're just wasting a lot of time and not getting
a lot done. So getting that call in earlier gives
Joe Burrow ample time to read the defense which he's
attack they're at. You're taking away one of his best weapons.
So I think that's something that will get better as
the season goes on. I would think if it doesn't,
then it is an issue.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I feel like there's been frustration in the past from
Joe Burrow when the play's not coming in quick enough.
I just I don't think you have to protect him
as much. If you're Zach Taylor, you have to trust
that Joe is one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL,
and as a play caller. The more time you give
him to operate at the line of scrimmage, the better
(35:31):
the opportunity you're going to have to have a successful play,
whether that's run or pass. The longer Joe has to
assess everything, it's going to be a lot easier going
forward to have success on those plays.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Absolutely, and that's why the scripted plays work so well,
because they're already into the play sheet. They're already scripted
so that the offense knows what plays are going to
come in the first fifteen plays. I also wanted to
be a little light hided today Wednesday hump Day, so
we're kind of done with the first game and all
see tomorrow and Priday. You guys will preview the next game.
I remember about a month and a half ago. I
(36:04):
promise you guys, if Joe Burrow wins the MVP, since
I have some good tickets up at the casino in
New Hampshire, that I would send you some really good
Italian food ball. I've got other tickets as well. This
is going to be even a better offer, I promise.
I've got the Bengals winning the AFC winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
A great ticket is they win.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
The Super Bowl and he's League MVP, which I think
could happened. And another great ticket is Bengals, Trackers, Bengals,
Ram super Bowl. If we hit some of those, the
heck With's sending you guys food will fly out here
to take.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I'm in. I'm in on that. Look if the Bengals,
Tony would love to, but he's gonna have a disaster
of a weekend, so he's not going to be available.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
If the Bengals are competing for the Super Bowl. Joe
Burrow's an MVP exactly that that's.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
The first one, and then get that one out of
the way and hopefully the tentacles of that will reach into.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
A lot of winnings.
Speaker 8 (36:55):
But we wouldn't do it till the spring because this
is a horrible place to be in the winter.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
I mean, you guys don't have great witness.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, probably couldn't even fly in there.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That probably gonna happen.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
They might be eighteen inches of snow on the ground
when you guys decided to come.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
But that sounds awesome and it comes.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
True, John, I love it, man, Thank you so much
for the phone call.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Thanks man, that sounds awesome. I can mess with some
Italian food. I can mess with some Italian I could
mess for some cold weather, some snow, all that sort
of stuff. Now I believe. I believe. My senior year,
Big East Media Day was in like Providence, Rhode Island,
and they did like a big lobster boil. That was
(37:38):
just my nightmare, Oh my gosh, because there's just cameras
and they're film and everything, and you gotta act like
you like it. I could. I could have won an
Academy Award for my performance that day. That lobster has
to be, like, there's a very specific way that I
like lobster. Well mine, the only reason I got it
down was a lot of butter. All right, Butter is
(38:00):
a big part of it. Yep, you get one lobster roll,
like the role specific, you know, the way that works.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Yeah. I can't wait, though, to go back to Maine.
I say it all the time, which makes me think
about the weather to circle back. I hate that we
do this every years, three or four days where it's
like perfect fifty to sixty two degrees if that, and
it's just perfect yep, and there's not a cloud in
the sky. And then I think, starting tomorrow we're flirting
(38:31):
with ninety again for a week. I don't want to
do that. I hate that. I'm done with the hot weather.
Oh my gosh, it drives me. No, I'm with you
as a fat person. I really don't like the hot weather.
I hate the warm weather. First team all sweat over this.
If I've said this before, what the Friday night opener?
I had the iPad, went back, sat by a fire
(38:53):
and was watching the Chiefs and the Chargers. It couldn't
have been a more perfect night.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, at tempts into this sixties fire feels good. You
don't have to worry about bugs and mosquitoes biting you
when you're outside.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
I need more of that. Yeah, less of whatever the
heck we got going on this weekend. We'll take a break.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
What's going on? Mike?
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Hey, what's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 3 (41:42):
This is it? How you doing good?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (41:44):
This is here?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
I'm hanging. I don't like them orange uniforms, you guys do.
I don't like them. I think they're a little overdone,
a little too much orange. It's for me. I mean orange,
and I don't have a problem with orange, but man,
that's a lot of orange in my opinion. But I
like the white uniflor. I really like those white uniforms.
I really do. I don't.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I couldn't do it every week. But when they when
they sprinkle it in in variation, I don't mind the
the the differences.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Yeah, no, I typically don't. It's just that I didn't.
I don't remember watching them. I'm sure I having that
all orange. It's just like overwhelms the people. But anyway,
you were talking about that that ad that they did
for the upcoming game between the Bengals and the Jaguars,
(42:33):
and it's funny because tigers can't climb trees worth a craft.
But jaguars, Jaguars live in the trees, okay, and they're
a big cat. And I'm telling you, a jaguar can
jump on the back of a tiger and rip his
throat out before he even knows what the hell happened.
Jaguars are powerful, and they're very camouflaged up in those trees.
(42:56):
And I'm telling you, man, it ain't no joke.
Speaker 7 (42:59):
So the.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Video, while aesthetically pleasing, may not be as accurate as
we hoped.
Speaker 4 (43:06):
No, it's not. It's not. It's not accurate from a
true nature standpoint though. If you're watching up Jack Hannah.
But I'm taking I'm taking Jacksonville plus the three and
a half. I hope the Bengals win, but I think
Jacksonville just kind of gives them all they want.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
This is a it's a big game for the Bengals.
It's a big game for Austin. To Mike, because Austin
has has been on the Jaguars for a long time.
This offseason, he circled this game as a test for
the Bengals. I believe some in some Austin, you even
picked the Jaguars in this, but you've been on the
Jags for a while.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah, I think the Jags are good. I think they're
a bad matchup for the Bengals defense specifically. I have
a lot of faith in their offense and Liam Cohn.
I think it's gonna be a dog fight for the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Yeah, Cole is a colem really is af But he
talked about a schemer. That guy's a schemer because he
did a great job at Tampa, a great job for Baker.
He kind of made Baker really well. I wandering around
from team the team to finding a home in Tampa.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
And watching him in Tampa, I think he really he
did a really good job of understanding what the defense
was attempting to take away and then highlighting the other stuff.
There would be games again, they ran the ball extremely
well in Week one against Carolina, but you go back
to some of those Tampa games as well. Baker could
throw it forty times or they could turn around and
hand it off to those running backs in Tampa, depending
(44:36):
on what the defense. So not only does he take
what the defense gives, but I think he can excel
at highlighting and magnifying that weakness or where they're vulnerable,
and he highlights it and he attacks it, no matter
what that be with the pass or the run.
Speaker 4 (44:50):
Yeah. So I don't know if he's serving as offensive
coordinator also or if he has an OC, but if
he does have an OC, you know he's scrutinizing everything
to poor os. I'd hate to be an OC for
a guy that can scheme like that.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Yeah, I mean, whether he's called or not, I'll we'll
check he calls the place.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay, his offensive coordinator is a first time OC, but
he's a very highly thought of offensive coordinator, like one
of those guys, like very much like Dan Pitcher, like
was fast rising through the system.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
Gotcha. And you know what the fastest land animal is
the cheat, right. They can run seventy miles now, guys,
they can run with your car on the freaking freeway.
Born to run that, like Bruce Springsteen said. And uh,
And I think the Bengals, the way the Bengals play
fast with that past game, I think they ought to
(45:43):
change the name of the Cincinnati Cheetahs doing.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
That in Michigan, moving on from the Wolverines or the Cheetahs.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
Now, yeah, the Cheetahs yeah, they are. You look at
those guys. If you look at their haunches, their backhaunches,
you can tell they're just born to blow out. They'll
run past the Greyhound like it's standing still.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
We unlocked the special interest of yours. Didn't like, I
didn't know about this about you.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
Yeah, I'm really a nature say freaky. I get into
it because it's so fascinating. There's someone Hey. I heard
Mark Santez today say that he was so impressed with
Aaron Rodgers, and he went into why Tony. He said,
he looked so white on his feet that he's finally,
you know, gotten over the Achilles. But he said, what
(46:31):
Rogers does that you would never ever teach. Marchants said this,
but you would never teach a youngster in quarterback schools
like you do.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Is to throw.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
Passes with both your feet off the ground. Yeah, and
Rogers can do that and throw it like a seed,
he said, off both feet. Really that big of a deal.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yes, Yes, he's not one that you want to try
to emulate or practic this because he's one of a
very few that can do it like that. But he
does it at the highest level possible and it works
for him, and it creates a lot of issues for defenses,
and it definitely created issues for the Jets who could
not contain Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
Mike, thanks so much, man. We appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Thank you, Mike. You got it, brother, you got your
paying attention. Thank you, love it.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Thanks Mike. Yeah, you want a quick update on Grant Yudinsky. Oh,
it's the offensive coordinator for Jacksonville. Yeah, uh, he is
very much. What was the name I kept saying last
year about the Bengals? What coach did I keep bringing up?
Dan Pitcher? No, Justin Riscotti. He was a past game
(47:49):
coordinator with Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota and has brought a
lot of those concepts that they ran for Justin Jefferson. Well,
Grant Yudinsky for the last three years has been with
the Minnesota Vikings assistant offensive coordinator and assistant quarterbacks coach
under Kevin O'Connell. So this is part of the reason
why I'm a big believer in Jacksonville's offense.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
Now.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
It is good to get them in game two, correct
as opposed to maybe Week twelve. But I still think
they just have a lot of challenges and I hope
the Bengals prove me wrong, but I think it's gonna
be one of those high scoring games on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Any guests they did this in twenty nineteen, any guests
which NFL mascow would have the quickest forty time? Not
the actual mascot itself, but the animal they're named after.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
So it's has It's definitely an animal, like it's not
one of the mythical creatures like a giant. Right, fastest
forty time? Yep? Why am I blanking on some of
these right now? You're wrong? It's the Atlanta falcon. Falcons
(48:53):
I know can fly very fast. Yeah, falcons are one.
There's a certain type of falcon that can get over
one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Seattle Seahawks two. Yeah, Swoop the eagle from Philadelphia's three,
and then Hohoda is four.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Interesting. Then you get the Jaguars, the ravens, the panthers,
and so we are faster than jaguars.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yes, we're faster, but they can climb tree in a tree,
and they climb, they can't they camouflage, they can't outrun us.
That is a fantastic conversation. Maybe someone can ask Zach
about that when we come.
