Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bengal.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's the first game of the preseason and the Bengals
are looking to start fast. To do it, they need
to defeat Detroit Kenny, Orange and Black Cane.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The Lions get the.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Call live from Dan Horden Dave Labat. Coverage begins Thursday
at five thirty pm. The stream for free on the
new and improved iHeartRadio app poor ESPN fifteen thirty, the
official home of Bus Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
There you go, what's up?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Buy back for free? This is ESPN fifteen thirty on Moeger.
Appreciate you listening today. My thanks to Chad Brendle for
pinch hitting yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I was off, but I'm back today.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yes it feels like a Monday, but not anymore because
Paul Dayner Junior joins us on Tuesdays from the Athletic
in the Growlar podcast covering Bengals training camp and the preseason.
By the way, preview of our show is available on Twitter.
You can watch it now at moegar. You can actually
watch our show on Twitter. We're doing that now like
a like a real live twenty first century radio operation.
(01:00):
Paul is not what it is in studio because he's
busy doing his job, but kind enough to join us
from the interview room down there at pay Course Stadium.
And he's with us now, and I could see him,
and there he is, Hi, Paul. I don't know that
I could hear I could see Paul, but I but
I cannot but I cannot hear him tarring.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Am I doing anything wrong? No?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh, Terrence, Terrence working on This is actually an issue
that Paul and I had on recording his podcast last week,
and so I feel like this is this is payback.
I could see him. He looks great, He's got a
collared shirt on. He's ready to go. He's in the
interview room. There's nobody else in there. He's psyched. I'm
psyched we're gonna talk with Paul. Bengals had a practice
this morning. The weather, I think the right word is apocalyptic.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I mean it was.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I don't know that I've seen skies as dark as
we saw this morning. When we tried to do the
Tony and Moe Training Camp show from practice and that
lasted about five the Bengals moved practice up in order
to get some work in outdoors. They still had to
go inside to the practice bubble finished up there, Paul
was in there, we were not. That's okay. And now
(02:10):
they have a preseason game on Thursday. Can we can
we do take two with Paul?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Is he there?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know what we could do is I could ask
Paul questions and he could write them down on a
piece of paper and I could read them for our
our radio audience.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Do we have to do we have to call him?
Do we have to use old technology?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Very good?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
This is this is see, this is why I love
live spontaneous radio.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, this is live.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
We don't tape this.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
We didn't tape this this morning and run it in there.
And this is a live radio show. So you get
all the glitches and bugs and mistakes and technical difficulties
that that we we experience. You get to enjoy them
in in real time. It's going great.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's going great.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So what we'll do is, I guess we'll get Paul
on the air the same way that radio shows have
been getting people on the air for close to one
hundred years. Uh, let me just set up the show
while we get a hold of Paul. We have a
lot to get to a lot of Bengal stuff, all right,
But I'm supposed to ask Paul, No, I can hear them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm here, I'm out here. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, dude, dude, Now I can hear myself back. Now
I can hear myself back. All right, what about now?
I can hear you old, I can hear you, and
I don't hear this is this is wonderful. I was told.
I think we comp I think we got this going.
It's great. It is good. I was told when we
(03:35):
did this segment last week. And I need to do
a better job of looking at the camera so it
looks like I'm looking at you.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So I hope you're ready for that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I'm I'm ready for it. I'm gonna do my best.
But uh, you're you're like on a great delay. This
is just really going. Well, you're on a delay, so
I don't know, like if there's a long pause, no
that I'm not thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I'm just waiting for everything to catch up.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We recently said a bunch of instats to like the
dark side of the Moon, and so we couldn't talk
to the mission control couldn't talk to those astronauts for
like twenty five minutes or something, and then when they
circled around the moon and got back, they could communicate
with them and the delay was less than the delay
will be. As I talked to you from what you're
about seven miles from where I am right now.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
So this is good, This is exciting.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yeah, I feel like it wouldn't be terrible for me
to actually just send my answers via carrier pigeon up
to you or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
We could probably maybe make it effective.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
You know what if if they could here anytime you
want to just pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, I've got it handy in my hand.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
If we could get the carrier pigeon sponsored, that might
be how we do things.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Uh, there's a lot to get too.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Based on your coverage of Sunday's practice, I now wish
we had been broadcasting from Sunday's practice.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
That was the best practice I think, certainly of this
year and the most telling. I mean, it was six
drives for.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The ones versus the ones.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
True like just go drive the field, calling it as
you go. And we were sort of talking to Zach
Taylor about that in the run up to it. He
specifically mentioned Sunday and look, this is when things change.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Things will change when you.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
See guys having to figure it out on the fly,
not just okay, you know the script, you know the
play that's coming.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's once you got guys out there just having to
memorize where that you learn a lot more. And I
think we learned a lot more.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And what we learned is that this has a veteran
team that is pretty darn well rounded. Like we saw
that come to fruition. The offense made plays to score
a couple of touchdowns. You saw the defense make plays
in order to get stops. It wasn't mess ups that
were causing. It was both sides making play very high
(06:01):
level competition for what you know, practiced nine out there.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You wrote about four winners who have stood out for
one reason or another. Here's one of my favorite things
that unfolds during training camp is there is a guy
who's not a rookie, has been on the team for
a while, but that we spend the entire offseason not
talking about you joined me every Tuesday, with a handful
of exceptions. From the end of last season until right
(06:27):
before training camp started. The name dj Ivy never came up,
but it should have, perhaps because now I think we
were learning a little bit more and this is a
good thing about their cornerback depth.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I mean we have talked a lot about the cornerback
groom though, and it was who's it going to be?
And I think what they internally found was there was
a lot of trust around dj Ivy for the way
that he handled the role that he had last year.
And quite honestly, they didn't have a whole lot of
other options to turn to anyway. But I do think
that he's earned it. And then you've seen him come
(07:01):
out here in this camp and been good, been consistent,
been sticky, made plays.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He's not showing up getting beat all the time.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And you know, I remember you go back to dj
Ivy's first his rookie camp, seventh round pick.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He had an incredible camp. He was like, who's this guy?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
He got to find a role for him, and then
his role ended up being largely on special teams. Darren
Simmons really liked him until then he got hurt. And
then last year they put him in the role of
covering these tight ends. He excelled.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He didn't have a tight end catch a pass on
him for a first down.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Like everything they've given him, and it's been small and incremental.
He's done well, and I think they all looked at
each other said, why shouldn't he get the bigger opportunity
right now?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
He's gotten it. I think he seized it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
What has Josh Newton done, or I guess more specifically,
not done to dig himself so deep into the team's doghouse.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I mean flip on the tape like he's just the
tape from last year. There's no physicality, there's no awareness,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Sense of making the plays.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
You look at some of the worst plays on last
year's tape and he is around them, you know, like,
and you got to be able to cover better.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Like, it just has not come together.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
He sounds like he's doing He sounds he says the
right things right like you feel like he's got the
right mentality for it. But when the lights have really
come on, it just hasn't connected.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
The preseason game on Thursday, give me one player on
each side of the ball that you are looking forward
to seeing what they show against Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh no, we have good question because.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I'm getting I'm getting an alert right now on my
I'm getting a.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Crisis alert on my front is to do.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Now I'm trying to figure out what'swork.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Oh okay, well we're all right. Now this is serious news.
National Weather Service tornado warning in this area until three
forty five. Take shelter now in a basement or an
interior room in the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
So this is like real life tornado warning in this area. Boy,
it's a It's a good day to be on the
(09:27):
sixth floor for building, now, in't it. So I think
you're like hunkered down.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The show goes.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I know, I was like, I can't be in a
better place. I am in the bowls of pay Corpse
Stadium right now, so I'm feeling safe. But it did
throw off me being able to hear anything you just said.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I was getting that a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm just glad that the emergency alert system is working.
Son on each side of the ball. Specific to Thursday,
give me one guy offense and defense who you're looking
forward to watching against Detroit.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I mean, I'll start or I'm gonna you know, you
gotta keep it, rookie. I just think they're the most
interesting players.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
On this team.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And uh, I think on defense, it's it's hard not
to say Cash is how but I'll I'll pass on
that with an acknowledgement of like, obviously he's gonna be
fun to watch ta Caio Davis has had a really
interesting camp and that it's been low key, Like I don't,
I don't, we haven't.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really you don't see him getting beat all the time.
You've seen You've seen him get his hands on the
ball a couple of times. But I want to see
how he holds up physically. I want to see how
he holds up making plays. I want to and I want.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
To see his consistency out there in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I would start with that side.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Okay, and by the way, to Carrio Davis cash as hell.
Like I I do feel like with some some themes
that emerge have emerged during camp, and then based on
some of the things that Zach Taylor has had to say,
we were lucky enough to have Duke Tobin on the
show with this on Friday. I feel like the seeds
are being planted for a rookie class that is a
pretty good chance.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Of contributing, Yeah, contributing when they earn it and not
being given it like.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Last year's was.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
And I think that's The biggest difference is that when
you have a group that has to go get it
and they have to go buy people, they can be
ready in the wings. It's a lot different, I think
for those players mentally than it is.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You're thrown in the fire and you're.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
The guy immediately, and that obviously was a big but I mean,
I have fifty three starts by rookies last year. That's
just there's not a single projected starter in this year's
rookie class in terms of truly starting, And that's such
a difference into where they're at rosterwise. And I think
it's different on the pressure that a lot of these
rookies I think feel right now. Not that they're not
(11:49):
trying to make impression, trying to make a play, but
it's just a lot different.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think when you know how urgent that.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Is, Joe Burrow and the guys who matter most on
offense are going to be on the feet old and
they'll have helmets on and pads and I guess they're
technically gonna play, but are they actually gonna really do
anything or they just gonna kind of wave to fans
like they did on Friday Night.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think they're gonna play.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I mean, I would anticipate if they're going out there,
it's gonna look like it did last year in Philadelphia.
You had two drives, two touchdown drives, fifteen plays, drop backs,
throwing the ball I mean down the field. I would
think we'll see a decent amount of their under center
stuff just to get that live reps. And those are
(12:32):
also a little safer on on Burrow. But you know,
I don't I don't put it past them. I mean,
after what happened last year in Washington, I don't know
that I have anything I can say for certain it's
gonna go look safe for anything like that. I think
when when Burrow and his guys get out there, they're
gonna they're gonna play it like it's real.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I'm kind of back to not wanting those guys to
play in the preseason after I championed it last year.
I'm kind of back to wanting those guys to just
baseball caps and you know, jerseys without pads.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So I don't know the curious.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
The curious next step is going to be, Okay, if
they have a they're gonna have a joint practice next Thursday.
Will that count or or will they play in preseason
game two or is this the only game action because
the joint practice is gonna act for more of what
they really need in terms of the game, and is
(13:24):
that the best?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's kind of the next step.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I can see them obviously playing in this one, but
I think it'd be interesting to see if they kind
of use the joint practice as the last box to
check to have them ready for the season.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, all right, Well this was a great segment, and uh,
we'll do it again.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Technically sound, we're are we are, we are operation. You're
supposed to be doing well operationally with Zach Taylor was
saying behind us earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know if we did as well operationally.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well, I'm getting touts that say take covered now in
all cabs, and I'm not trying to trivialize this at all,
but like, there's some pretty serious stuff happening outside, so
I appreciate it as always, be safe, man, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
All right, see you, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I'm looking at my phone here. National Weather Service tornado warning,
imminent threat alert in this area. I don't honestly know
if in this area. As I look at my phone
means Hamilton County, or I for it means where we
are in Kenwood, but in this area it's I have
like a little sliver of a window that I can
look at right now. It looks very very dark, very
(14:27):
very gray. I could not blame you at all if
you decided, Hey Mo, we're gonna check in with somebody
who can give us some more accurate weather information.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But I will tell you just what.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And I'm we all have cell phones, so I'm sure
you're getting the same thing that I am here, and
maybe our newsroom can give us more details.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But there is a rough weather in the area.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And as much as we're gonna have fun talking about
sports today, obviously everybody's health and safety is far more important.
We will keep you up to date as far as
that is concerned. We have a lot to get to
between now and six o'clock twenty after three, ESPN fifteen.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Well then you see, this is ESPN fifteen thirty onm Oeger.
Thank you for listening today. We have a lot of
sports stuff to get to this afternoon. Tony is going
to join us in about fifteen minutes. Latest from training camp.
We got some red stuff to get to as well.
But first and foremost, a radio station's primary focus is
to serve the public, and so I need to let
(15:26):
you know this. The National Weather Service has issued a
tornado warning, which is different than a watch. It's a
tornado warning for Dearborn County, Indiana, Hamilton County, Ohio, Franklin
and Ripley Counties in Indiana, and Boom County in Kentucky.
And that is effective until three thirty six, so another
eight minutes or so. We got the alert right when
(15:51):
we went on the air here in Kenwood. It is
I thought this morning downtown for the Bengals practice was dark.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It is needless to say ominous.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And so I know the local television stations they all
have their meteorologists on and are going through the necessary
the necessary warnings that they have to administer about you know,
finding safe places and all that. I'm not a weather person.
I'm barely equipped to do the job that I do do.
But I know when it looks rough outside, and it
(16:25):
looks rough outside where I am right now, and I
know what the weather folks are saying. So severe weather
is upon us. Tornado warnings throughout the Tri State, and
as much as I'm not a meteorologist, I do know
that there is a significant difference between a tornado watch
and a tornado warning. A tornado warning would suggest that
(16:47):
folks in the area that the warning is for are
dealing with an imminent threat. The tornado warning in Dearborn
County has been extended until four o'clock, Ohio County, Indiana
until four o'clock, So a few extensions of various warnings
throughout the Tri State.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
If you're in our general.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Listening area, and I'm obviously not referring to folks who
are listening to us in other parts of the country,
the iHeartRadio app chances are it would make sense. I'm
watching on Channel five right now, and I'm watching some
stop lights and street signs sway in the wind, and
there's rain, significant rain in certain parts of the western
(17:29):
parts of Cincinnati, and lots of lightning strikes, but most
significantly right now. And I'm not trying to make this
out to sound more serious than it is. My job
is to not scare people, but it is to provide
a public service. Even though this is a silly sports
talk radio show, there is severe weather all around us,
and you could do whatever you want with those warnings,
(17:49):
but there are tornado warnings for a whole bunch of
counties in the Tri state area. So most importantly, we
hope you're with us all afternoon, but you gotta stay safe,
so we'll keep you up today. Let's get to some
more trivial stuff and talk some Bengals and some Burrow
(18:09):
and Little Reds baseball, and hear from you as well.
Three thirty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Not just talk, This is sports with soul, sweat and swagger.
Tony Pike, Sincy three sixty Tomorrow at twelve noon on
ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty Traffic from.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
The uc Hell Traffic Center. Don't wait for end service
for a cancer diangles like ESPN.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
To no one covers the weather, he try no one
covers weather. All right, I'm gonna do the weather stuff
first and just give you an idea what we're dealing
with here in Kenwood, where the power in the building
just went off. I think we were lucky enough to
stay on the air during the break. I walked down
into the office and for those of you who have
ever either been in our building or driven past our building,
(19:02):
which you could see right off I seventy one. It's
a big glass building, right, and so we're surrounded by windows.
Those windows are vibrating in ways that I've We've worked
in this building for twenty two years. Those windows are
vibrating in ways that I've never seen before. Our show
in the winter time goes it always goes till six o'clock,
but in the wintertime, you know, once you kind of
(19:24):
get past daylight savings in November and December, and for
much of January, we're on after the sun goes down,
and so oftentimes that time a year, and I'll joke
about it. Sometimes I'll look out the window and it's
pitch black, because in early December at five o'clock in
the afternoon, it's pitch black. That's what it looks like
(19:44):
where we are in Kenwood right now. By the way,
like suddenly everybody's at work today, there's like people, you know,
all commerce has stopped because folks are staring outside. So
about two minutes ago, and I don't this to I
don't do this to engage in hyperbole. I saw the
(20:06):
biggest lightning bolt I've ever seen that looked like it
like was it came down right across the street. And
so we're in Kenwood, northeastern side of Cincinnati. If you're
in this area, you probably shouldn't be where we are
right now, which is on the sixth floor of a building.
(20:26):
National Weather Service has extended the tornado warning for Hamilton
County until four to oh one, Kenton County four oh one,
Claremont County four oh one, boone County in northern Kentucky,
and Campbell County as well until four to oh one.
And so I get it, man, this is not a
(20:47):
weather show, this is not a news show. But we
would be abandoning our civic duty as license holders of
a broadcast license if we did not mention those things.
But it is gnarly out. I just talked to a
coworker of mine who lives deep in the west side,
(21:07):
like almost Indiana, and he informed me that his parents
had a tree fall down in their house. And so
obviously this is all throughout the greater Cincinnati area tornado warnings,
lots of wind, lots of lightning, lots of thunder, and
obviously in many instances rain, All right, we'll keep you
(21:29):
up to date now sports headlines service of Kelsey Chevrol

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Today, no you yeah, no, yeah, you don't need a
degree in weather science to be able to conclude that
the weather right now is hopefully everybody is staying safe. Uh.
Let's let's start with something that you and I had
talked about with Duke Tobin on Friday when we were
at pay Corpse Stadium, and that's the rookie class. Because
I feel like the seeds are being planted for this
(24:13):
year's rookie class to be able to contribute.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Yeah, you know, ranting guys and giving him a red.
These kaus are expected to come in and perform and
be an impactful part of this team. And Zach Taylor
alluded to that as well. He was asked about the
rookies today and he said they're all on pace, which
is key because we've talked about the grind, the mental
(24:39):
of the physical grind. When you get to this portion
of training camp, know where the preseason is right around
the corner. It feels like they've got multiple guys now
that they drafted that can be relied upon for this season.
That's what Zach said. It's what Dukes want us and
coach speak right now, and they performed well so far.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Uh one more so Thervison Night is going to be
big for a lot of people, and we're all going
to be watching a lot of different things. But first
and foremost at the top of my list that I
would imagine for a lot of fans is get a
chance to see what sort of offensive offensive line depth
may they may have.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Yeah, that to me is one of the bigger questions remaining.
I know what they have as the starting five. I'm
not confident yet in the depths, and until the bullets
are flying on Thursday night and the rest of the preseason,
I don't think we're going to have that answer either.
Most so that to mean we know what the five are.
But we've talked about this, and it's an unfortunate part
(25:38):
about sports. Water normally finds its level, and this was
a very healthy offensive line room last year. At some
point this year, I feel like you're gonna need to
rely on the depths I feel like you're gonna have
to turn to a guy in a second quarter or
a second half, or maybe for a game or two.
They've still got to either develop that on the roster
(25:58):
or identify that it's not a roster and find it elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right, Tony, stay safe. We'll talk to you about
an hour.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Thanks so much, Tony Pike with hourly training camp reports
three forty five, four forty five, and five forty five.
And don't forget Thursday night Bengals Lions preseason game number
one on ESPN fifteen thirty with kickoff at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
You know how it.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Works in TV meteorology when there's a severe storm, is
you know, like the male meteorologist will take off the
coat and start to roll up the sleeves. And that's
where we are right now. I've got Channel nine on
here in studio, Steve Rawley is on. He's got the
sleeves rolled up, no suit code on. He has not
yet loosened his tie. And so when he loosens his tie,
(26:46):
I think then you have a sense that things are
really really bad. But in all seriousness, as I watch
the coverage, man and I don't pretend to be an
expert on anything.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It would be foolish of me to.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Pretend to be an expert on the weather, but it
is not good throughout much of the Tri State area.
Five point three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty will get
you in coming up on four o'clock on ESPN fifteen
thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
There are over three hundred
Bengal.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's the first game of the preseason and the Bengals
are looking to start fast. To do it, they need
to defeat Detroit Kenny, Orange and Black Cane.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The Lions get the.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Call live from Dan Horden Dave Labat. Coverage begins Thursday
at five thirty pm. The stream for free on the
new and improved iHeartRadio app poor ESPN fifteen thirty, the
official home of Bus Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
There you go, what's up?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Buy back for free? This is ESPN fifteen thirty on Moeger.
Appreciate you listening today. My thanks to Chad Brendle for
pinch hitting yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I was off, but I'm back today.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yes it feels like a Monday, but not anymore because
Paul Dayner Junior joins us on Tuesdays from the Athletic
in the Growlar podcast covering Bengals training camp and the preseason.
By the way, preview of our show is available on Twitter.
You can watch it now at moegar. You can actually
watch our show on Twitter. We're doing that now like
a like a real live twenty first century radio operation.
(01:00):
Paul is not what it is in studio because he's
busy doing his job, but kind enough to join us
from the interview room down there at pay Course Stadium.
And he's with us now, and I could see him,
and there he is, Hi, Paul. I don't know that
I could hear I could see Paul, but I but
I cannot but I cannot hear him tarring.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Am I doing anything wrong? No?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Oh, Terrence, Terrence working on This is actually an issue
that Paul and I had on recording his podcast last week,
and so I feel like this is this is payback.
I could see him. He looks great, He's got a
collared shirt on. He's ready to go. He's in the
interview room. There's nobody else in there. He's psyched. I'm
psyched we're gonna talk with Paul. Bengals had a practice
this morning. The weather, I think the right word is apocalyptic.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I mean it was.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I don't know that I've seen skies as dark as
we saw this morning. When we tried to do the
Tony and Moe Training Camp show from practice and that
lasted about five the Bengals moved practice up in order
to get some work in outdoors. They still had to
go inside to the practice bubble finished up there, Paul
was in there, we were not. That's okay. And now
(02:10):
they have a preseason game on Thursday. Can we can
we do take two with Paul?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Is he there?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You know what we could do is I could ask
Paul questions and he could write them down on a
piece of paper and I could read them for our
our radio audience.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Do we have to do we have to call him?
Do we have to use old technology?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Very good?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
This is this is see, this is why I love
live spontaneous radio.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, this is live.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
We don't tape this.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
We didn't tape this this morning and run it in there.
And this is a live radio show. So you get
all the glitches and bugs and mistakes and technical difficulties
that that we we experience. You get to enjoy them
in in real time. It's going great.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's going great.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So what we'll do is, I guess we'll get Paul
on the air the same way that radio shows have
been getting people on the air for close to one
hundred years. Uh, let me just set up the show
while we get a hold of Paul. We have a
lot to get to a lot of Bengal stuff, all right,
But I'm supposed to ask Paul, No, I can hear them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm here, I'm out here. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, dude, dude, Now I can hear myself back. Now
I can hear myself back. All right, what about now?
I can hear you old, I can hear you, and
I don't hear this is this is wonderful. I was told.
I think we comp I think we got this going.
It's great. It is good. I was told when we
(03:35):
did this segment last week. And I need to do
a better job of looking at the camera so it
looks like I'm looking at you.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So I hope you're ready for that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I'm I'm ready for it. I'm gonna do my best.
But uh, you're you're like on a great delay. This
is just really going. Well, you're on a delay, so
I don't know, like if there's a long pause, no
that I'm not thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I'm just waiting for everything to catch up.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We recently said a bunch of instats to like the
dark side of the Moon, and so we couldn't talk
to the mission control couldn't talk to those astronauts for
like twenty five minutes or something, and then when they
circled around the moon and got back, they could communicate
with them and the delay was less than the delay
will be. As I talked to you from what you're
about seven miles from where I am right now.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
So this is good, This is exciting.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yeah, I feel like it wouldn't be terrible for me
to actually just send my answers via carrier pigeon up
to you or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
We could probably maybe make it effective.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
You know what if if they could here anytime you
want to just pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah, I've got it handy in my hand.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
If we could get the carrier pigeon sponsored, that might
be how we do things.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Uh, there's a lot to get too.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Based on your coverage of Sunday's practice, I now wish
we had been broadcasting from Sunday's practice.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
That was the best practice I think, certainly of this
year and the most telling. I mean, it was six
drives for.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
The ones versus the ones.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
True like just go drive the field, calling it as
you go. And we were sort of talking to Zach
Taylor about that in the run up to it. He
specifically mentioned Sunday and look, this is when things change.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Things will change when you.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
See guys having to figure it out on the fly,
not just okay, you know the script, you know the
play that's coming.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's once you got guys out there just having to
memorize where that you learn a lot more. And I
think we learned a lot more.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And what we learned is that this has a veteran
team that is pretty darn well rounded. Like we saw
that come to fruition. The offense made plays to score
a couple of touchdowns. You saw the defense make plays
in order to get stops. It wasn't mess ups that
were causing. It was both sides making play very high
(06:01):
level competition for what you know, practiced nine out there.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You wrote about four winners who have stood out for
one reason or another. Here's one of my favorite things
that unfolds during training camp is there is a guy
who's not a rookie, has been on the team for
a while, but that we spend the entire offseason not
talking about you joined me every Tuesday, with a handful
of exceptions. From the end of last season until right
(06:27):
before training camp started. The name dj Ivy never came up,
but it should have, perhaps because now I think we
were learning a little bit more and this is a
good thing about their cornerback depth.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I mean we have talked a lot about the cornerback
groom though, and it was who's it going to be?
And I think what they internally found was there was
a lot of trust around dj Ivy for the way
that he handled the role that he had last year.
And quite honestly, they didn't have a whole lot of
other options to turn to anyway. But I do think
that he's earned it. And then you've seen him come
(07:01):
out here in this camp and been good, been consistent,
been sticky, made plays.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He's not showing up getting beat all the time.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
And you know, I remember you go back to dj
Ivy's first his rookie camp, seventh round pick.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He had an incredible camp. He was like, who's this guy?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
He got to find a role for him, and then
his role ended up being largely on special teams. Darren
Simmons really liked him until then he got hurt. And
then last year they put him in the role of
covering these tight ends. He excelled.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He didn't have a tight end catch a pass on
him for a first down.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Like everything they've given him, and it's been small and incremental.
He's done well, and I think they all looked at
each other said, why shouldn't he get the bigger opportunity
right now?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
He's gotten it. I think he seized it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
What has Josh Newton done, or I guess more specifically,
not done to dig himself so deep into the team's doghouse.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I mean flip on the tape like he's just the
tape from last year. There's no physicality, there's no awareness,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Sense of making the plays.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
You look at some of the worst plays on last
year's tape and he is around them, you know, like,
and you got to be able to cover better.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Like, it just has not come together.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
He sounds like he's doing He sounds he says the
right things right like you feel like he's got the
right mentality for it. But when the lights have really
come on, it just hasn't connected.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
The preseason game on Thursday, give me one player on
each side of the ball that you are looking forward
to seeing what they show against Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh no, we have good question because.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I'm getting I'm getting an alert right now on my
I'm getting a.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Crisis alert on my front is to do.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Now I'm trying to figure out what'swork.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Oh okay, well we're all right. Now this is serious news.
National Weather Service tornado warning in this area until three
forty five. Take shelter now in a basement or an
interior room in the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
So this is like real life tornado warning in this area. Boy,
it's a It's a good day to be on the
(09:27):
sixth floor for building, now, in't it. So I think
you're like hunkered down.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The show goes.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I know, I was like, I can't be in a
better place. I am in the bowls of pay Corpse
Stadium right now, so I'm feeling safe. But it did
throw off me being able to hear anything you just said.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I was getting that a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm just glad that the emergency alert system is working.
Son on each side of the ball. Specific to Thursday,
give me one guy offense and defense who you're looking
forward to watching against Detroit.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I mean, I'll start or I'm gonna you know, you
gotta keep it, rookie. I just think they're the most
interesting players.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
On this team.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And uh, I think on defense, it's it's hard not
to say Cash is how but I'll I'll pass on
that with an acknowledgement of like, obviously he's gonna be
fun to watch ta Caio Davis has had a really
interesting camp and that it's been low key, Like I don't,
I don't, we haven't.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Really you don't see him getting beat all the time.
You've seen You've seen him get his hands on the
ball a couple of times. But I want to see
how he holds up physically. I want to see how
he holds up making plays. I want to and I want.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
To see his consistency out there in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I would start with that side.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Okay, and by the way, to Carrio Davis cash as hell.
Like I I do feel like with some some themes
that emerge have emerged during camp, and then based on
some of the things that Zach Taylor has had to say,
we were lucky enough to have Duke Tobin on the
show with this on Friday. I feel like the seeds
are being planted for a rookie class that is a
pretty good chance.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Of contributing, Yeah, contributing when they earn it and not
being given it like.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Last year's was.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
And I think that's The biggest difference is that when
you have a group that has to go get it
and they have to go buy people, they can be
ready in the wings. It's a lot different, I think
for those players mentally than it is.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You're thrown in the fire and you're.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
The guy immediately, and that obviously was a big but I mean,
I have fifty three starts by rookies last year. That's
just there's not a single projected starter in this year's
rookie class in terms of truly starting, And that's such
a difference into where they're at rosterwise. And I think
it's different on the pressure that a lot of these
rookies I think feel right now. Not that they're not
(11:49):
trying to make impression, trying to make a play, but
it's just a lot different.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think when you know how urgent that.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Is, Joe Burrow and the guys who matter most on
offense are going to be on the feet old and
they'll have helmets on and pads and I guess they're
technically gonna play, but are they actually gonna really do
anything or they just gonna kind of wave to fans
like they did on Friday Night.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think they're gonna play.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I mean, I would anticipate if they're going out there,
it's gonna look like it did last year in Philadelphia.
You had two drives, two touchdown drives, fifteen plays, drop backs,
throwing the ball I mean down the field. I would
think we'll see a decent amount of their under center
stuff just to get that live reps. And those are
(12:32):
also a little safer on on Burrow. But you know,
I don't I don't put it past them. I mean,
after what happened last year in Washington, I don't know
that I have anything I can say for certain it's
gonna go look safe for anything like that. I think
when when Burrow and his guys get out there, they're
gonna they're gonna play it like it's real.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I'm kind of back to not wanting those guys to
play in the preseason after I championed it last year.
I'm kind of back to wanting those guys to just
baseball caps and you know, jerseys without pads.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So I don't know the curious.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
The curious next step is going to be, Okay, if
they have a they're gonna have a joint practice next Thursday.
Will that count or or will they play in preseason
game two or is this the only game action because
the joint practice is gonna act for more of what
they really need in terms of the game, and is
(13:24):
that the best?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's kind of the next step.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I can see them obviously playing in this one, but
I think it'd be interesting to see if they kind
of use the joint practice as the last box to
check to have them ready for the season.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, all right, Well this was a great segment, and uh,
we'll do it again.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Technically sound, we're are we are, we are operation. You're
supposed to be doing well operationally with Zach Taylor was
saying behind us earlier.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know if we did as well operationally.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well, I'm getting touts that say take covered now in
all cabs, and I'm not trying to trivialize this at all,
but like, there's some pretty serious stuff happening outside, so
I appreciate it as always, be safe, man, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
All right, see you, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I'm looking at my phone here. National Weather Service tornado warning,
imminent threat alert in this area. I don't honestly know
if in this area. As I look at my phone
means Hamilton County, or I for it means where we
are in Kenwood, but in this area it's I have
like a little sliver of a window that I can
look at right now. It looks very very dark, very
(14:27):
very gray. I could not blame you at all if
you decided, Hey Mo, we're gonna check in with somebody
who can give us some more accurate weather information.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But I will tell you just what.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
And I'm we all have cell phones, so I'm sure
you're getting the same thing that I am here, and
maybe our newsroom can give us more details.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But there is a rough weather in the area.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
And as much as we're gonna have fun talking about
sports today, obviously everybody's health and safety is far more important.
We will keep you up to date as far as
that is concerned. We have a lot to get to
between now and six o'clock twenty after three, ESPN fifteen.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Thirty Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Well then you see, this is ESPN fifteen thirty onm Oeger.
Thank you for listening today. We have a lot of
sports stuff to get to this afternoon. Tony is going
to join us in about fifteen minutes. Latest from training camp.
We got some red stuff to get to as well.
But first and foremost, a radio station's primary focus is
to serve the public, and so I need to let
(15:26):
you know this. The National Weather Service has issued a
tornado warning, which is different than a watch. It's a
tornado warning for Dearborn County, Indiana, Hamilton County, Ohio, Franklin
and Ripley Counties in Indiana, and Boom County in Kentucky.
And that is effective until three thirty six, so another
eight minutes or so. We got the alert right when
(15:51):
we went on the air here in Kenwood. It is
I thought this morning downtown for the Bengals practice was dark.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It is needless to say ominous.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
And so I know the local television stations they all
have their meteorologists on and are going through the necessary
the necessary warnings that they have to administer about you know,
finding safe places and all that. I'm not a weather person.
I'm barely equipped to do the job that I do do.
But I know when it looks rough outside, and it
(16:25):
looks rough outside where I am right now, and I
know what the weather folks are saying. So severe weather
is upon us. Tornado warnings throughout the Tri State, and
as much as I'm not a meteorologist, I do know
that there is a significant difference between a tornado watch
and a tornado warning. A tornado warning would suggest that
(16:47):
folks in the area that the warning is for are
dealing with an imminent threat. The tornado warning in Dearborn
County has been extended until four o'clock, Ohio County, Indiana
until four o'clock, So a few extensions of various warnings
throughout the Tri State.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
If you're in our general.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Listening area, and I'm obviously not referring to folks who
are listening to us in other parts of the country,
the iHeartRadio app chances are it would make sense. I'm
watching on Channel five right now, and I'm watching some
stop lights and street signs sway in the wind, and
there's rain, significant rain in certain parts of the western
(17:29):
parts of Cincinnati, and lots of lightning strikes, but most
significantly right now. And I'm not trying to make this
out to sound more serious than it is. My job
is to not scare people, but it is to provide
a public service. Even though this is a silly sports
talk radio show, there is severe weather all around us,
and you could do whatever you want with those warnings,
(17:49):
but there are tornado warnings for a whole bunch of
counties in the Tri state area. So most importantly, we
hope you're with us all afternoon, but you gotta stay safe,
so we'll keep you up today. Let's get to some
more trivial stuff and talk some Bengals and some Burrow
(18:09):
and Little Reds baseball, and hear from you as well.
Three thirty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
To no one covers the weather, he try no one
covers weather. All right, I'm gonna do the weather stuff
first and just give you an idea what we're dealing
with here in Kenwood, where the power in the building
just went off. I think we were lucky enough to
stay on the air during the break. I walked down
into the office and for those of you who have
ever either been in our building or driven past our building,
(19:02):
which you could see right off I seventy one. It's
a big glass building, right, and so we're surrounded by windows.
Those windows are vibrating in ways that I've We've worked
in this building for twenty two years. Those windows are
vibrating in ways that I've never seen before. Our show
in the winter time goes it always goes till six o'clock,
but in the wintertime, you know, once you kind of
(19:24):
get past daylight savings in November and December, and for
much of January, we're on after the sun goes down,
and so oftentimes that time a year, and I'll joke
about it. Sometimes I'll look out the window and it's
pitch black, because in early December at five o'clock in
the afternoon, it's pitch black. That's what it looks like
(19:44):
where we are in Kenwood right now. By the way,
like suddenly everybody's at work today, there's like people, you know,
all commerce has stopped because folks are staring outside. So
about two minutes ago, and I don't this to I
don't do this to engage in hyperbole. I saw the
(20:06):
biggest lightning bolt I've ever seen that looked like it
like was it came down right across the street. And
so we're in Kenwood, northeastern side of Cincinnati. If you're
in this area, you probably shouldn't be where we are
right now, which is on the sixth floor of a building.
(20:26):
National Weather Service has extended the tornado warning for Hamilton
County until four to oh one, Kenton County four oh one,
Claremont County four oh one, boone County in northern Kentucky,
and Campbell County as well until four to oh one.
And so I get it, man, this is not a
(20:47):
weather show, this is not a news show. But we
would be abandoning our civic duty as license holders of
a broadcast license if we did not mention those things.
But it is gnarly out. I just talked to a
coworker of mine who lives deep in the west side,
(21:07):
like almost Indiana, and he informed me that his parents
had a tree fall down in their house. And so
obviously this is all throughout the greater Cincinnati area tornado warnings,
lots of wind, lots of lightning, lots of thunder, and
obviously in many instances rain, All right, we'll keep you
(21:29):
up to date now sports headlines service of Kelsey Chevrol
home of lifetime powertrain protection and guaranteed credit approval from
their family to yours for life kelseyshev dot Com. Bengals
move their practice this morning indoors because of the weather
they are getting said for Thursday night's preseason opener against

(21:54):
Zach Taylor today said that Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and
t Higgins are expected to play. Same for Dexter, Laura
and Dax Hill will not go. Brian Cook will not go.
Also again said that there's no timeline right now for
the return of bj Hill or Shamar Stewart, but he
says both are progressing quote as we hoped they would.
Don't forget Thursday Night's game live on ESPN fifteen thirty
(22:16):
at seven o'clock, pregame coverage at five thirty. We're gonna
do our show from the booth on Thursday starting at
three oh five. Meanwhile, after an off day yesterday, Red's

the White Sox nic Lodolo, back from the injurre list,
will make the start for Cincinnati against Rady Sean Burke
seven tonight's first pitch on seven hundred WLW. After getting
(22:37):
swept in Washington by the Nationals and an off day yesterday,
the Reds enter play tonight, six and a half games

FC Cincinnati looks to advance to the knockout stage of
the league's Cup competition with a home game tonight against Atlas.
That game is at eight o'clock on ESPN fifteen thirty.

four o'clock. All right, Tony Pike is going to join us.
I assume he's okay. The latest on training camp in
the Bengals as we get set for Thursday night from Tony.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Next Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty traffic.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
USDN fifteen thirty with the latest from Bengals training camp
brook you buy Cambra Credit Union on your official home
of the Cincinnati Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
A right, Tony Pike joins us for hourly training camp
reports on the day of the Bengals headed indoors for
their final workout.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I assume you're inside right now, Tony.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Indoors y, I'm not going to make it outside for
this one. My meteorology has been improving throughout training camp.
Don't need to be a meteorologist.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Today, no you yeah, no, yeah, you don't need a
degree in weather science to be able to conclude that
the weather right now is hopefully everybody is staying safe. Uh.
Let's let's start with something that you and I had
talked about with Duke Tobin on Friday when we were
at pay Corpse Stadium, and that's the rookie class. Because
I feel like the seeds are being planted for this
(24:13):
year's rookie class to be able to contribute.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Yeah, you know, ranting guys and giving him a red.
These kaus are expected to come in and perform and
be an impactful part of this team. And Zach Taylor
alluded to that as well. He was asked about the
rookies today and he said they're all on pace, which
is key because we've talked about the grind, the mental
(24:39):
of the physical grind. When you get to this portion
of training camp, know where the preseason is right around
the corner. It feels like they've got multiple guys now
that they drafted that can be relied upon for this season.
That's what Zach said. It's what Dukes want us and
coach speak right now, and they performed well so far.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Uh one more so Thervison Night is going to be
big for a lot of people, and we're all going
to be watching a lot of different things. But first
and foremost at the top of my list that I
would imagine for a lot of fans is get a
chance to see what sort of offensive offensive line depth
may they may have.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Yeah, that to me is one of the bigger questions remaining.
I know what they have as the starting five. I'm
not confident yet in the depths, and until the bullets
are flying on Thursday night and the rest of the preseason,
I don't think we're going to have that answer either.
Most so that to mean we know what the five are.
But we've talked about this, and it's an unfortunate part
(25:38):
about sports. Water normally finds its level, and this was
a very healthy offensive line room last year. At some
point this year, I feel like you're gonna need to
rely on the depths I feel like you're gonna have
to turn to a guy in a second quarter or
a second half, or maybe for a game or two.
They've still got to either develop that on the roster
(25:58):
or identify that it's not a roster and find it elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right, Tony, stay safe. We'll talk to you about
an hour.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Thanks so much, Tony Pike with hourly training camp reports
three forty five, four forty five, and five forty five.
And don't forget Thursday night Bengals Lions preseason game number
one on ESPN fifteen thirty with kickoff at seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
You know how it.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Works in TV meteorology when there's a severe storm, is
you know, like the male meteorologist will take off the
coat and start to roll up the sleeves. And that's
where we are right now. I've got Channel nine on
here in studio, Steve Rawley is on. He's got the
sleeves rolled up, no suit code on. He has not
yet loosened his tie. And so when he loosens his tie,
(26:46):
I think then you have a sense that things are
really really bad. But in all seriousness, as I watch
the coverage, man and I don't pretend to be an
expert on anything.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It would be foolish of me to.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Pretend to be an expert on the weather, but it
is not good throughout much of the Tri State area.
Five point three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty will get
you in coming up on four o'clock on ESPN fifteen
thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
