Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hey Austin Ken from alex herecock out to Kevin from
Northern Kentucky for my shout out yesterday. Yes album was
on Moe's show a couple of days ago, and I
mumbled and fumbled my way through my comments. But Moby
and the pro that he has bailed me out. Also,

hope they gave you a raise.

Thank you, Ken. I appreciate that. Yeah, I love Drew.
Still trying to figure out what exactly that's gonna look like.
Hopefully that's figured out by Monday, But yeah, I appreciate that.

try to ask John Sheer in the first question that
was maybe the worst I've ever actually stuttered and stumbled
on the radio. So that's good. Start born in Austin, Jeff,

Yes, I'm gonna take the Bengals tonight. Let's go twenty
four to twenty one.
Speaker 7 (01:52):

and gives us the win. I just have the feelings
it's gonna be different, Okay, So we'll see what happens.
Hopefully we'll be able to celebrate it all tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (02:06):

would be much needed, much needed for the Vibes.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Hey, Audi, I'm I'm excited.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
I think the Bengals will do well tonight.
Speaker 9 (02:17):
I'm gonna call it Bengals twenty four Steelers twenty one.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That's two in a row. That's two in a row,
twenty four to twenty one Bengals. That might be the
common theme, Audie, what up?
Speaker 10 (02:27):
Jacob here?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
What's so?
Speaker 11 (02:28):
Jake?
Speaker 12 (02:29):
I'm thinking that the Bengals are gonna build off of
that second half in Green Bay from last week. We
need the offense to get in the rhythm, move the ball.
Hopefully tonight. Shamar Stewart's coming out party. Yes, I don't
think the Bengals win by big margin, but I think
they win.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Let's go get that dub tonight. Who day baby, Let's
go all right, Shamar Stewart coming out party. I would
sign up for that.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
Hey, Audi, Remember you asked what I think is gonna happen,
not what I want. Yes, and what I think is
gonna happen is Bengals may surprise people.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Bow.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
I think They're gonna come out start fast. He might
even jump out to a ten or fourteen point lead,
two scores, something like that. Okay, but regardless, at some point,
Zach Taylor is gonna go painfully conservative. Now all out
of them back into the game, and the Bengals are
gonna lose a heartbreaker by two or three points. Oh mad, but.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Pro I appreciate honesty that it is important what you
think is going to happen, not what you want to happen.
And I do appreciate that honesty. What up, Hotty? What
do I want to see tonight? In a forty something ball?
Speaker 10 (03:32):
I want to see the office put up points.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
In all four quarters.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I want to see the defense you get off the
field on third down.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I'm wanna see Jamais he go off tonight. I want
to see Yo yo yo actually catch some passes.
Speaker 10 (03:49):
Yeah, I want to see this team get the dub wall.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
You need it.
Speaker 13 (03:53):
I got a feeway and he owned a prescription.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's more Blackhouse. It's a good one from Kevin. He's
we need it.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I was before the show today. I normally in the
last ten or so minutes will go sit in the
newsroom just to kind of clear my head and go
banter with the folks in the newsroom, and our buddy
Nick Rick yu Chino was saying, we need this, like
I need this, just mentally need a Bengals win tonight.
I think a lot of people are in that boat.
Speaker 14 (04:20):
Hey, Austin George on the valley, fired up from the
game as game as well. I just wanted to, you know,
such that Tony's gone. But in reality, I think what
they heard was the talent you have. I'm not trying
to blow your head up here, but I mean that's
what it is. Tony was on the radio with you
and that just wasn't a good place for him to be.
You're abound to get your own show anyway. Good luck
(04:41):
to Tony we all love him.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Whoa who day.
Speaker 14 (04:44):
Would be a fun night tonight the Jungle Boys.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, George, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
I do appreciate that. Yeah, Adia's Joan case here.
Speaker 15 (04:54):
Just wanted to say, I hope you're able to take
advantage of this opportunity, even though it's not under the
circumstances you just like I'm hoping Osai and Shamar Stewart are.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Able to take advantage tonight. Make a good job.
Speaker 15 (05:05):
I really wish you had not gone over those rushing
stats at the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Makes me feel like the.
Speaker 15 (05:10):
Steelers are going to rush for two hundred yards tonight
just because that's what we do. And uh, my heart
won't let me pick anybody but the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, fair enough, heart wants what it wants.
Speaker 16 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (05:24):
I like the injury update Austin, their number two receiver,
not playing, their safety, probably not playing Hendrickson, probably not
playing some good knowledge there.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 17 (05:37):
I want the Bengals to win so so bad. I
think that just might be a bad sign. But hopefully,
hopefully we'll get to w.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
When you go a month without winning is hard man
like time moves slower. Coffee doesn't taste as good. It's
difficult turned enough.
Speaker 18 (05:58):
Since he three sixty, I was feeling my half passed dead. Yeah,
I just need it, sounds bag.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
He's right to cleaning my head. Hey, Aartie, can you
tell me now the team? He's gone a top backs Den.
He just grinned and shook.
Speaker 13 (06:22):
My hand on the nose. All he said.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Beautifully, Dot, take a load, dollbody.
Speaker 18 (06:34):
He's there on the trust in you and me, take
a lot doll rolling on with since he three sixty.
Speaker 19 (06:51):
Wow, thank you, Hey, Audie, TJ he sided it was
out last week during the Tony fallout, some guy named
Drew didn't play my talkback right compared to you and
Tony did the great.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Dues of all time.
Speaker 19 (07:03):
Tony, You're gonna do great, Austin. When I first started listening,
I thought some.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Of your opinions were really sucks.
Speaker 19 (07:09):
But you always defended him with a stute, rational and
good logic. I always appreciate that and respect it as
a listener. Well done, keep up the good work. Go
who Days. But if we lose to night Zach and
Tobin gotta go who Day.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, thank you I appreciate that. Yeah, it's if you're
gonna have an opinion that you know it may not
be that popular, or you know, we'll ruffle some feathers,
you got to at least have a good reason why.
And I always tried to do that.
Speaker 13 (07:37):
Shoot up, why we need this when we can color? Jayne?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Wow, you're on a heater today.
Speaker 20 (08:09):
It's the Lord.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
What up?
Speaker 20 (08:11):
Happy Thursday? Talkback Nation is great. Hearing Eddie Z yesterday.
He's hilarious. He should be talked back. President. Hey, Austin,
is there any truth about the Bengals looking at Derek
Carr as a quarterback option?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yes?
Speaker 20 (08:31):
Bengals twenty, Steelers sixteen.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, thank you for that prediction. I like that. The
list was revealed by Albert Breer in Sports Illustrated earlier today.
He said that the full list that the Bengals reached
out to are considered were Stetson Bennett, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins,
Tommy DeVito, Joe Flacco, Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Johnson, Drew Locke,
(09:01):
Tanner McKee, Davis Mills, Anthony Richardson, Russell Wilson, and Jameis Winston.
They ended up landing on.
Speaker 21 (09:08):
Flacco still wrapping the city out here in Sonny hot
Don and what up hoddy?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Y'all real talk.
Speaker 21 (09:13):
Not only are the Bengals under pressure, I'm under pressure,
oh being he only since he fan at my job,
got everybody in the world at my job asking me questions, tonight,
are you ready for this nice game? Do you think
the Bingles gonna win? Got a call from the boss
man to come to the office. He asked me questions
about tonight's game. How you putting money on the Bengals tonight?
I looked at him like he was fourteen Karen crazy,
but I ain't telling him that since he throwed that
(09:34):
me down. I want to come to work tomorrow. Cat
strutting on these clowns, you feel me?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Who they? That is the tough part about wearing your
team's heart on your sleeve. They're rotting round. Everybody wants
a piece of you.
Speaker 19 (09:46):
All right, Mike from LA you heard John Michael's impersonation
of you.
Speaker 16 (09:50):
Oh no, let's hear your version of him.
Speaker 13 (09:55):
We'll go up Austin.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
Joan Baltimore put up Joe My prediction for tonight twenty eight,
Pittsburgh twenty four okay, sake, Flacco leads a late fourth
quarter touchdown drive to steal the game. Jamar's over one
(10:16):
hundred yards receiving, and Chase Brown has his best rushing
game of the year.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Just open, all right, bang, all right, I got you.
Speaker 16 (10:27):
This is a guaranteed prediction for tonight's game. At some
point during the game, somewhere near midfield, the Steelers will
do some type of misdirection trick play that will end
up being wide open and it'll either steal the game
or it'll put them up by at least two scores.
(10:50):
Who day, Pittsburgh does this every freaking time.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's a man that's been hurt and broken right there,
Austin it gets from love man. Great job so far
running the show.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
My prediction for tonight Steelers twenty seven, Bengals fourteen yikes
And just a side note, little sprinkle, sprinkle, drip drip.
I got Noah offense plus one seventy four at five receptions. Okay,
I think that's easy money.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
All right, there's a little lock of the night for you.
Five or so over four and a half receptions for
Noah fense. Okay, did you.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Guys see Wes Miller saying that the team's not ready
to play today. Is he already setting UC fans up
for a failure of a season?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh well, it's a good thing they don't he's not
ready to play today because they don't have to play today.
So first of all, Second of all, my favorite thing
about yesterday was that Xavier announced this new beer called
the Muskie Logger. If I have that correct, and the
branding and everything is awesome. It's very similar to like
(12:02):
Ryan Geist and the Sinsey Light thing and just doing
the same thing. It's for the all for one, fun
for Xavier, and just seeing UC fans get so mad
about it was awesome. I love that rivalry so much.
I love how petty each side is. Yeah, Xavier kind
of rips off Cincinnati with the beer thing, and then
Cincinnati fans are all mad about it. I just I
(12:25):
love that rivalry so much. I cannot wait for December.
Speaker 13 (12:34):
Bengals win by three?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Boy, all right, Bengals by three. I'm in favor of that, Hey, Audi,
mic and Independence. What am I prepping for?
Speaker 11 (12:48):
This seafood ball we got going to starting at four
o'clock today. Abay, swing on by a lot one if
you want to partake in the goods. We're going with
twenty four to for the score today. Who day, that's
a favorite the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Baby, all right, BEng seafood boil Mike with in lot
one going to Bengal victory.
Speaker 22 (13:09):
Hey, Austin Paul from Cleeves here, I'll actually chime in
and give you my two cents worth on the game tonight.
I think the Bengals won twenty eight to ten or
thirty one to ten.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't think it's even going to be close.
Speaker 22 (13:20):
I think the biggest issue is going to be turnovers
for the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I don't think they're gonna be able to handle the ball.
Speaker 22 (13:25):
And uh yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that the
Bengals are gonna come out and they're gonna come right
out and drive the field and score the first touched out.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
So whoday?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, all right, I mean the twenty eight to ten
thirty one to ten will blowout. Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 23 (13:43):
Yeah, I mean I think we got all the momentum.
I think that with flat Goo now feeling more comfortable
and there's gonna be the unknown about our defensive line
that Rogers isn't going to be able to anticipate. I mean,
this could be a really, really good night for the Bengals.
As for my prediction, I'm thinking it's probably gonna be
forty two to twelve Steelers.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh that's the beautifully jaded Bengals fangate fan base hot take.
Speaker 24 (14:15):
As an in person fan, a white out is the
worst spent eighty five dollars on a Bengals pull over
and all day you risk the chance of spilling beer
or skyline dip on yourself.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And just looks like a slob. Yeah, but on TV
it'll look great, you know. I hear you. A pro
move though, is you gotta go? You can't put it
on until you get in your seat, basically like you
carry it with you or you keep it in the
car whatever. Nobody cares if you're wearing white when you're tailgating.
Once you get in your seat, though, like then it
(14:50):
has it should be on. So I hear you, though,
What up body, space monkeys? What's up? Space?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Tonight?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Another one?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
We get back on track when next week?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Move on to four and four?
Speaker 25 (15:03):
Okay, seasons back, baby, let's go good.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm smelling what you're stepping in. What Austin Ryan Samar
Stewart two sacks, Oh bangs twenty three twenty one. Oh baby,
all right, let's do it. I'm in favor of that, Patty.
Speaker 25 (15:25):
I think I think Flacco's gonna find his find his
rhythm tonight. Okay, two weeks into the offense. He's got
a little bit more time to work with all the boys,
and I'm predicting a Bengals win thirty one twenty one.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, offensive explosion thirty one twenty one.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
All right, Well, you're sitting down watching the Bengals game
and Joe Burrow gets sacked. He's got the turf toe
and he's gonna miss time since the nationists screaming fire,
Zach QB's of must backup is a bust time for
oh Joe Fleco.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Beautifully done there by Mark Hey Austin.
Speaker 26 (16:16):
I wanted to get your thoughts on what your conversation
was at the top of the hour with the Bengals
not being able to do anything with their front office
and compared to the Tennessee Titans and their rotating door
and the Baltimore Ravens and how they always seem to
do things right but seem to be in the same
if not worse situation than the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, the NFL is difficult, and there's not really an
exact science. I mean, the way the Chiefs have built
their dynasty is not the same as the way the
Eagles have kind of built over the last couple of years.
And the Eagles in the middle of struggles and they've
dealt with coordinators leaving and all this other stuff. And
Baltimore has been the model of consistency for a long
time and it's gotten them close but never over the hump.
(17:00):
And even Cleveland has had the same people in place
for a long time and they just kind of keep
spinning their tires and going nowhere, and the Bengals have
They've changed a little bit here and there, and they've
done a few things differently, but mostly it's still the
same process. And the Bengals for the most part, are
always competitive. They're at least you know, in it, and
I believe are a well run organization. It's just that
(17:22):
there's no exact science to it. It's difficult. Like even
if you look at San Francisco, I think John Lynch
and Kyle Shanahan are a great example of like what
a quarter or what a coach and a GM relationship
should be and yet they just get ravaged by injuries
every year and it's held them back. Even in a
(17:42):
year like this year where they're supposed to be competitive,
their injuries are killing them. I look at a team
like Tampa where just Jason light I think is O gosh,
what's the GM of the Bucks. I'm blanking on his
name right now. But he has full autonomy and full
(18:03):
control and again just feeds these players to develop into
Todd Bowles. Like, there's all these different ways to do it.
Some teams are really good at it, some teams are not.
There is no exact science, and you know, it's it's
easy to compare, but it's not really easy to execute.
All right, that was our last talkback. We'll take a break.
Phone calls are open five one three. Phone lines are
(18:25):
open to five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty.
We'll take a break. We'll come back, get a little
football in the nattie and more. This is ESPN fifteen

Yes, I'm gonna take the Bengals tonight. Let's go twenty

go all right, Shamar Stewart coming out party. I would

Hey, Audi, Remember you asked what I think is gonna happen,

Yeah, I want to see this team get the dub wall.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
You need it.

Speaker 18 (06:34):
He's there on the trust in you and me, take
a lot doll rolling on with since he three sixty.
Speaker 19 (06:51):
Wow, thank you, Hey, Audie, TJ he sided it was
out last week during the Tony fallout, some guy named
Drew didn't play my talkback right compared to you and
Tony did the great.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Dues of all time.
Speaker 19 (07:03):
Tony, You're gonna do great, Austin. When I first started listening,
I thought some.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Of your opinions were really sucks.
Speaker 19 (07:09):
But you always defended him with a stute, rational and
good logic. I always appreciate that and respect it as
a listener. Well done, keep up the good work. Go
who Days. But if we lose to night Zach and
Tobin gotta go who Day.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, thank you I appreciate that. Yeah, it's if you're
gonna have an opinion that you know it may not
be that popular, or you know, we'll ruffle some feathers,
you got to at least have a good reason why.
And I always tried to do that.
Speaker 13 (07:37):
Shoot up, why we need this when we can color? Jayne?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Wow, you're on a heater today.
Speaker 20 (08:09):
It's the Lord.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
What up?
Speaker 20 (08:11):
Happy Thursday? Talkback Nation is great. Hearing Eddie Z yesterday.
He's hilarious. He should be talked back. President. Hey, Austin,
is there any truth about the Bengals looking at Derek
Carr as a quarterback option?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yes?
Speaker 20 (08:31):
Bengals twenty, Steelers sixteen.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, thank you for that prediction. I like that. The
list was revealed by Albert Breer in Sports Illustrated earlier today.
He said that the full list that the Bengals reached
out to are considered were Stetson Bennett, Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins,
Tommy DeVito, Joe Flacco, Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Johnson, Drew Locke,
(09:01):
Tanner McKee, Davis Mills, Anthony Richardson, Russell Wilson, and Jameis Winston.
They ended up landing on.
Speaker 21 (09:08):
Flacco still wrapping the city out here in Sonny hot
Don and what up hoddy?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Y'all real talk.
Speaker 21 (09:13):
Not only are the Bengals under pressure, I'm under pressure,
oh being he only since he fan at my job,
got everybody in the world at my job asking me questions, tonight,
are you ready for this nice game? Do you think
the Bingles gonna win? Got a call from the boss
man to come to the office. He asked me questions
about tonight's game. How you putting money on the Bengals tonight?
I looked at him like he was fourteen Karen crazy,
but I ain't telling him that since he throwed that
(09:34):
me down. I want to come to work tomorrow. Cat
strutting on these clowns, you feel me?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Who they? That is the tough part about wearing your
team's heart on your sleeve. They're rotting round. Everybody wants
a piece of you.
Speaker 19 (09:46):
All right, Mike from LA you heard John Michael's impersonation
of you.
Speaker 16 (09:50):
Oh no, let's hear your version of him.
Speaker 13 (09:55):
We'll go up Austin.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
Joan Baltimore put up Joe My prediction for tonight twenty eight,
Pittsburgh twenty four okay, sake, Flacco leads a late fourth
quarter touchdown drive to steal the game. Jamar's over one
(10:16):
hundred yards receiving, and Chase Brown has his best rushing
game of the year.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Just open, all right, bang, all right, I got you.
Speaker 16 (10:27):
This is a guaranteed prediction for tonight's game. At some
point during the game, somewhere near midfield, the Steelers will
do some type of misdirection trick play that will end
up being wide open and it'll either steal the game
or it'll put them up by at least two scores.
(10:50):
Who day, Pittsburgh does this every freaking time.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's a man that's been hurt and broken right there,
Austin it gets from love man. Great job so far
running the show.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
My prediction for tonight Steelers twenty seven, Bengals fourteen yikes
And just a side note, little sprinkle, sprinkle, drip drip.
I got Noah offense plus one seventy four at five receptions. Okay,
I think that's easy money.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
All right, there's a little lock of the night for you.
Five or so over four and a half receptions for
Noah fense. Okay, did you.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Guys see Wes Miller saying that the team's not ready
to play today. Is he already setting UC fans up
for a failure of a season?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh well, it's a good thing they don't he's not
ready to play today because they don't have to play today.
So first of all, Second of all, my favorite thing
about yesterday was that Xavier announced this new beer called
the Muskie Logger. If I have that correct, and the
branding and everything is awesome. It's very similar to like
(12:02):
Ryan Geist and the Sinsey Light thing and just doing
the same thing. It's for the all for one, fun
for Xavier, and just seeing UC fans get so mad
about it was awesome. I love that rivalry so much.
I love how petty each side is. Yeah, Xavier kind
of rips off Cincinnati with the beer thing, and then
Cincinnati fans are all mad about it. I just I
(12:25):
love that rivalry so much. I cannot wait for December.
Speaker 13 (12:34):
Bengals win by three?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Boy, all right, Bengals by three. I'm in favor of that, Hey, Audi,
mic and Independence. What am I prepping for?
Speaker 11 (12:48):
This seafood ball we got going to starting at four
o'clock today. Abay, swing on by a lot one if
you want to partake in the goods. We're going with
twenty four to for the score today. Who day, that's
a favorite the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Baby, all right, BEng seafood boil Mike with in lot
one going to Bengal victory.
Speaker 22 (13:09):
Hey, Austin Paul from Cleeves here, I'll actually chime in
and give you my two cents worth on the game tonight.
I think the Bengals won twenty eight to ten or
thirty one to ten.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't think it's even going to be close.
Speaker 22 (13:20):
I think the biggest issue is going to be turnovers
for the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I don't think they're gonna be able to handle the ball.
Speaker 22 (13:25):
And uh yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that the
Bengals are gonna come out and they're gonna come right
out and drive the field and score the first touched out.
Speaker 13 (13:35):
So whoday?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, all right, I mean the twenty eight to ten
thirty one to ten will blowout. Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 23 (13:43):
Yeah, I mean I think we got all the momentum.
I think that with flat Goo now feeling more comfortable
and there's gonna be the unknown about our defensive line
that Rogers isn't going to be able to anticipate. I mean,
this could be a really, really good night for the Bengals.
As for my prediction, I'm thinking it's probably gonna be
forty two to twelve Steelers.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh that's the beautifully jaded Bengals fangate fan base hot take.
Speaker 24 (14:15):
As an in person fan, a white out is the
worst spent eighty five dollars on a Bengals pull over
and all day you risk the chance of spilling beer
or skyline dip on yourself.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And just looks like a slob. Yeah, but on TV
it'll look great, you know. I hear you. A pro
move though, is you gotta go? You can't put it
on until you get in your seat, basically like you
carry it with you or you keep it in the
car whatever. Nobody cares if you're wearing white when you're tailgating.
Once you get in your seat, though, like then it
(14:50):
has it should be on. So I hear you, though,
What up body, space monkeys? What's up? Space?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Tonight?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Another one?
Speaker 8 (14:59):
We get back on track when next week?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Move on to four and four?
Speaker 25 (15:03):
Okay, seasons back, baby, let's go good.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm smelling what you're stepping in. What Austin Ryan Samar
Stewart two sacks, Oh bangs twenty three twenty one. Oh baby,
all right, let's do it. I'm in favor of that, Patty.
Speaker 25 (15:25):
I think I think Flacco's gonna find his find his
rhythm tonight. Okay, two weeks into the offense. He's got
a little bit more time to work with all the boys,
and I'm predicting a Bengals win thirty one twenty one.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay, offensive explosion thirty one twenty one.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
All right, Well, you're sitting down watching the Bengals game
and Joe Burrow gets sacked. He's got the turf toe
and he's gonna miss time since the nationists screaming fire,
Zach QB's of must backup is a bust time for
oh Joe Fleco.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Beautifully done there by Mark Hey Austin.
Speaker 26 (16:16):
I wanted to get your thoughts on what your conversation
was at the top of the hour with the Bengals
not being able to do anything with their front office
and compared to the Tennessee Titans and their rotating door
and the Baltimore Ravens and how they always seem to
do things right but seem to be in the same
if not worse situation than the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, the NFL is difficult, and there's not really an
exact science. I mean, the way the Chiefs have built
their dynasty is not the same as the way the
Eagles have kind of built over the last couple of years.
And the Eagles in the middle of struggles and they've
dealt with coordinators leaving and all this other stuff. And
Baltimore has been the model of consistency for a long
time and it's gotten them close but never over the hump.
(17:00):
And even Cleveland has had the same people in place
for a long time and they just kind of keep
spinning their tires and going nowhere, and the Bengals have
They've changed a little bit here and there, and they've
done a few things differently, but mostly it's still the
same process. And the Bengals for the most part, are
always competitive. They're at least you know, in it, and
I believe are a well run organization. It's just that
(17:22):
there's no exact science to it. It's difficult. Like even
if you look at San Francisco, I think John Lynch
and Kyle Shanahan are a great example of like what
a quarter or what a coach and a GM relationship
should be and yet they just get ravaged by injuries
every year and it's held them back. Even in a
(17:42):
year like this year where they're supposed to be competitive,
their injuries are killing them. I look at a team
like Tampa where just Jason light I think is O gosh,
what's the GM of the Bucks. I'm blanking on his
name right now. But he has full autonomy and full
(18:03):
control and again just feeds these players to develop into
Todd Bowles. Like, there's all these different ways to do it.
Some teams are really good at it, some teams are not.
There is no exact science, and you know, it's it's
easy to compare, but it's not really easy to execute.
All right, that was our last talkback. We'll take a break.
Phone calls are open five one three. Phone lines are
(18:25):
open to five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty.
We'll take a break. We'll come back, get a little
football in the nattie and more. This is ESPN fifteen
