Speaker 1 (00:00):
Interrupting the Chad and Rick College Basketball Spectacular to talk
with their friend and mine, Richard Skinner from Local twelve,
because there's lots going on with the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hi, Richard, Well, here's what I was gonna tell you.
I got two things for you. You can get back to
college basketball with the Bengals suck and Joe Blaco is hurt.
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
That's Richard Skinner from Local twelve. You could read his
columns at Local twelve dot com. Hi, boys, it's it's
you know, I should have just had you join these
guys in the studio and I could have I could
have sat back and done nothing. Is Flacco? He's not
gonna play on Sunday? Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I can't imagine he does. I mean, that's a pretty
that's a pretty significant injury. You know, after the game
he said it didn't hurt much. Well, he went back
to the locker room, probably got it shot up. So
you can come in for that final series. I'm guessing
it didn't hurt much. And then Monday comes along and
ooh booy, it hurts a lot. Yeah, he doesn't go tomorrow.
I can't imagine he plays. I know, Zach left open
(00:54):
today the possibility that, you know, he doesn't need any
reps that he could he's healthy enough he can show
up on Sunday and play. And that's probably only true
if he's healthy. I just don't think that's gonna be
a possible and it's a real long shot.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So okay, they have a buy after this game. Is
this something that could keep him out possibly multiple weeks?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, I mean, this is an injury that can be
really significant and it can also be short term. It's
a weird thing, you know. I think the buye we'd
probably help soften that blow. If you can win this week,
it's goofy this down. If you can win that this week, Yeah,
the buye, you could actually go to Pittsburgh if they're
five and four in your four and five and a
(01:31):
chance to sweep them to take over first place in
this division. That's probably not logical because there's no guarantee
they win this weekend, especially when you can't beat the
awful Jets, but it's on the table. It's such a
goofy season, especially in this division. And I think he
gets goofier because Baltimore is getting healthier.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, No, I think Baltimore is gonna win it, and
I'm not even sure it's necessarily going to be close.
Maybe not go from one to five to to running
away with the thing. They put two guys on ir
yesterday and let go of Mike Panell. Are are they
just gonna play with fifty guys moving forward?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And now they're gonna probably bring some guys up in
the practice. I think you're in that mode of let's
see what we've got here. You know, Mike Panell was
actually a rotational tackle. You know, maybe that means we
see more McKinley Jackson. Oh. I think he's been active
for one game this season. It's pretty good spot for
a third round pick from last year only playing one game. Oh. Meanwhile,
the other third round pick, the wide receiver Jermain Burton,
(02:26):
has been active for a single game. Okay, so things
are so things are going well in that department. But yeah,
I'm guessing it means probably some more playing time for
Michaelee because at some point you drafted him in the
third round. Gotta see what you got.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, Zach Taylor says he needs leaders on defense. Who
are they supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think it's Barrett Carter, believe it or not, I
really think they think he can step into a leadership role.
Except the problem is he diagnosed a run play really
really well and got right into the bat gap and
here comes a running back at him full speed, and
it was gonna be a one yard game, maybe a
no yard game, maybe even a one yard law depending
on where he dacklromat, except for one small problem. He
(03:04):
didn't tackle the guy and he's spit it out for
a fifty yard run. But answer your question, I do
believe they think Barrett Carter has leadership capabilities, and as
long as he starts performing at a level where he's
making tackles on a consistent basis, I think he can
become that leader. I do.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The fan base is as upset with Duke Tobin as
I think it has ever been, and understandably so, because
he keeps drafting players who can help. Do you think
he is standing on ice that is at all starting
to crack?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We do you know this organization that come on?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I had to ask it right sometimes, and you know this.
You have to ask a question you know the answer to,
but you have to throw it out there because you're
supposed to that's.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
A fair point, So no, I think he should be.
So I did the exercise. I think maybe a couple
others on the beat have done this. I just did
it today. It hasn't published yet and it's going up tomorrow.
Where I redrafted the first three rounds for this team
this year, and it really wasn't even hard to do,
Like these were guys about in those rounds and good
reasons for the Bengals taking him on when it happened.
So instead of Shamar Stewart, who's had one assisted tackle
(04:07):
in sixty two defensive snaps over the last two games,
that's some good production. Huh. One assisted tackle where you
fall into a pile. Good for you, man, that's great work.
Instead of him in the first round, how about giod Campbell,
who's been one of the best linebackers in the entire
NFL as a rookie. So in the second round you
needed a guard, good he drafted the guard Tate Ratlis
was available. How about you go that route set of
(04:27):
Demetrius Knight because you've already gone the linebacker round. And
then how about in the third round a guy who
played for al Golden Notre Dame who's having a fine
rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons. How about Vanier watching
the third round? How hard is that? It wasn't even
hard to do that. It was common sensical and said
you had to be the smartest ones in the room
and go. Yeah, I know, Shamar Stewart doesn't do anything
other than look good, but let's go ahead and take
(04:47):
him anyway, because he's got great traits. Okay, great one
assisted tackle in the last sixty two defensive snaps. I
could fall on a pile and get that stat. I could.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'd like to see that, actually, but.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah it would hurt.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, all right, Well, thanks for bringing a good cheer
to a rough situation. We'll talk next week.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Thank you. As always, you bet go Big Blue.
