Speaker 2 (00:27):
You know it's real. You know it's time when we
start airing promos for games Michaels and Eagles on Thursday.
What's up? This is ESPN fifteen thirty on Moeger. Thank
you for listening. Hope you're having an awesome Tuesday. We're
busy today. We have a lot going on training camp
updates from Tony Pike. Trisha Whitaker from Apple TV is

(00:48):
gonna call a Reds game this weekend. We're gonna chat
with our Reds. Last night played a game that, like
legit felt like like real postseason baseball, real pennant chase baseball,
even though they're you don't really get a pennant for
winning a wildcard big win. Last night we will discuss
but first of our friend Paul Danner Junior is here
from The Athletic and the Growler podcast. How is it going?

(01:09):
It's going great. How are you fresh from training camp?

Speaker 3 (01:12):
You know you mentioned this game and how great it
is to be talking about a game on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, we've never needed a game more.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I can't imagine how much you feel like, yes, we
need a game, the amount of time that you guys
are putting in a dissection of the camp.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I think we've all dissected the camp.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
We've all figured out what the practices look and feel
like it's time for real game stuff to change the conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So you are correct right from that standpoint, I'm excited
there's a game. More people will see the game than
see a practice. There's gonna be some stuff to dissect.
But I am dreading this on Thursday. I have been
not looking forward to this ever since February when we
started talking about God next year, should Joe Burrowing Company
play in these preseason games? And it? Boy, you know,

(01:58):
back in February March, let's do it. It'd be great.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Now, I remember very vividly, easy, sure, it's aggressive, surely
to do this? Yeah, I remember very vividly you talking
about how you literally never want to see Joe Burrow
playing a preseason game.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yes, bubble raps in the opener.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes, we're all under the admission now that he wants it,
that this fast start thing.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Have you heard about this? Yeah, so the Bengals hard
early and they want to reverse.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
They want to start faster now, but previously it's been slow,
and so we're all under the emission that this is
a good thing. We see the value of them playing
thatssivery evil that said, there's gonna be gaps, there's gonna
be tension, there's gonna be worried, and there's gonna be

(02:53):
what sounds like three quarters of preseason action with Joe Burrow.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean, if we're getting.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
About a quarter, it sounds like, uh, this week, it's
certainly the way Zach Taylor was talking today, sounds like
it's gonna be in the range of a half in Washington. Okay,
this is what you want. This is what it needs
to be if you want to win that first game.
But that doesn't mean it's not There's not you're not
gonna see the value in what was happening on the

(03:20):
other side of not having to go through this exercise.
You just to me, here's my here's my my two
cents on it. I see you can protect Burrow, you
can get him his reps, you can do what you
need with him. I think you you can see that.
I don't need to see much T Higgins, Jamar Chase.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm good. Yeah, give me do you want to drive?
Do they want to drive? Give him a drive each.
I do not need to see T.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Higgins running and risking a soft tissue injury in a
preseason game. And give Joe some game work with Jermaine
Burton and Charlie Jones and these other guys too. You know, like,
that's that's fine. You want to put Burrow out there,
He's the one that needs it. He wants it. You
can find ways to protect him with the scheme and

(04:07):
the play calls. Cool, I'm working. I don't want to
see Tea and Jamar out there too much. Is a
bigger thing for me.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, Joe has said he wants to play in these games.
Jamar said he doesn't.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I not.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, be happy to give Jamar what he wants. And
you know, TM Higgins, one of the things he One
of the storylines of the season is can tigue, get
through it healthy and play all seventeen and that's compromised
at least a little bit if he's playing in games
that don't count. I don't like this. Yeah, not gonna watch.
You're just not gonna watch. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna
follow on my phone and then I'll watch, like on

(04:39):
Friday or something. I'm not working on Friday.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
So you can watch, if you know, you can watch
the peace of mind of already knowing whatever the injuries
that come of it are. You can maybe watching a
little more analytically. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
One day my daughter will have to drive a car.
I understand it. I don't. I don't want to be
driving behind her on I seventy five. I'm not not
going to be able to do it. No, not going
to be able to do that. So like, uh, but
it is a necessary evil and there's value in it,
and which is why for me. Look all eyes on
the offensive line all the time, and you wrote about

(05:14):
some you know, training camp takeaways, and one of them
is about offensive line depth. Now, the good news is
Marius Mims Zach Taylor said is going to play on Thursday.
Maybe they dodged a bullet. Maybe we're making too big
a deal out of the fact that he was walking
around with a cast. I don't know, but like, all right, man,
you've got to protect him all season long. You've got
to protect him in the game that doesn't count. So

(05:34):
you know, like in on under the microscope for me
on Thursday, would be the offensive line anyway, even more
so now.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, and Dylan Fairchild, no question, you know, that's just
you know, I don't know what the Eagles are gonna do,
but we know who they could line up right across
from Dylan Fairchild with a game that doesn't matter in
his first NFL REP trying to protect Burrow like that
stuff that should concern anybody. But I'm with you, Yeah,
You're it's gonna continue to have the eyes on this

(06:03):
offensive line and once you get even once you get
the starters out of there, sure you know, I just
this is big. We see your idea of things are
gonna be okay changes quickly after the first preseason game
or two when you see that group out there. We
have seen this happen preseason after preseason after preseason around

(06:25):
here where these games have come out and the second
team offensive line has been brutal.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yep, And you.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Were immediately freaking out about the state of that group
this season. And I think there's plenty of reason to
think that you might be immediately freaking out about this group.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
And maybe it maybe will be proven wrong.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
But you just have so much inexperience, so many question marks,
so little you feel like you can count on once
you get pasted. Really, the top three starters much less
down the depth chart that I'm very curious to see
what that looks like because it could go any number
of directions.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I want Dylan Fairchild. This is going to sound unreasonable.
I want him to win the job on Thursday night.
I want the first impression to be so strong that
I go cool.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
That is maybe unfair, maybe unrealistic, but if I had
one wish for Thursday, that's what it is. Yeah, Dylan Fairchild.
Not that dissimilar from a few years ago when it
was Cordell Vulson versus Jackson Carmen. And say what you
want about Cordell Vulson. Part of why he won the
job was Jackson Carmon was totally ill prepared. But I
remember that preseason game walking away from it going Cordell

(07:33):
Volson's going to play that position. I want Dylan Fairchild
to be subject to a similar dynamic. Yeah, you just
want him to look the part. You don't want him
to look out of place.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
You don't want it to look like four guys doing
their job and one guy getting whipped over and over
and again because it could. And so I'm with you
on that thing. You listen to Zach Taylor talking today
and you were saying, we're treating Dylan Fairchild as a starter.
We're viewing him that way. He's going to be in
there when the starters are in, He's going to be
out when starters are out. There's not going to be

(08:01):
extra reps for him to give him that right. That's
a I mean, it tells you the state of things
that he's in a good place. He hasn't done anything
to make them think that it's more of a competition,
or maybe Cordell hasn't done anything to make it feel
like more of a competition that they're even thinking about
that right now. That can change, That can change after
one game. I'm with you on that. That will be

(08:23):
certainly one to watch. As we've known, these guards have
been something to watch this whole time.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Tony and I have been down there for I think
together now six practices, and you wrote about some takeaways
from the early portion of training camp, and you wrote
about the defense, and we can talk about who fits
what role, and what al Golden's scheme's gonna look like,
and who has to step up and who has a

(08:47):
lot to prove, and what it may look like if
you know, for some reason Trey Hendrickson isn't here once
the real games begin. The thing that I have walked
away from multiple practices thinking about is how calm those
dbs looked, how much they were talking trash, how much
they were getting in the faces of dudes like Jamar Chase,

(09:07):
like t Higgins, how much they were barking at Joe
Burrow like I don't know how much that ultimately is
gonna matter, but it was not insignificant in my eyes.
And I saw lots of different guys engaging in that,
and sign me up for that.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, isn't that what this was supposed to be? It
was okay, go young, bring somebody in who knows how
to make young players play well and build this young momentum,
build this energetic, young fun defenses is kind of the idea.
That's what that's supposed to look like. That was job one.

(09:42):
Get a group out there that feels confident, that's willing
to talk trash to Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow, that
is gonna make plays to back that up, that's gonna
be able to stand in the ring and go toe
to toe with those guys. They'll lose some, they'll win some,
but they'll you'll notice them, you'll hear them. They won't
look like the obvious liability on this team. That's been

(10:03):
the case. And I will add the linebackers. Demetrius Knight,
who who gives gives an extra thump a little harder
than most guys do in this stuff. You see him
in the backfield. You see him making plays. He's getting
a tip on a ball to cause interception. The corners
are making play. All of that the young players for
them to be better, for them to not be weighed

(10:26):
down by what they've been in the past. It has
to have that new, young, energetic we're creating a new
thing feel. And that's been the field that was it's
the it is. The takeaway of ten practices easily is
that the defense has a real energy to it and
is creating a real sense of belief in those players

(10:49):
that they can do it, they can hang with anybody,
because if you can hang with Burrow, Chase and Higgins,
then you can hang with anybody. To the point that
it's made me wonder, right, is Joe Burrow doing this
on purpose? Like is Joe like, Look, we got to
build some confidence in the young defense. I'm gonna throw
them some yeah or whatever. I don't think that's I
don't think it's the case. I'm not saying that, but

(11:10):
it's like to the point that how are they making
I just didn't expect them to consistently be making as
many plays as we've seen them make through a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I've been to a lot of UC practices at Higher
Ground in recent years, and I used to love to
watch when they had a great secondary under Luke Fickle,
Sauce Gardener, Kobe Bryant, Yeah, you know, Brian Cook. I
used to love to watch those guys against UC's wideouts.
And the way I've watched Bengals DB's behave has reminded

(11:39):
me of watching those Bearcat DB's great players guys in
the NFL. Sauce Gardner just got paid right Like I
would watch those guys talk, smack, impose their will, and
if they got beat, they were unfazed. I would watch
Sauce Gardener and Alec Pierce go toe to toe every
day and watch Sauce just scream at him, yell at him.
If somebody in the second he made a play, everybody

(12:01):
rushed toward him. That's a great secondary in college. I
what I this is gonna sound silly. What I have
watched from Bengals DB's. You have been at more practices
than I have. What I've watched from Bengals DB's, especially
when they've been doing red zone drills, has reminded me
of that. Yeah, do you remember? You probably do.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
There was a Bengals the Bengals brawl in Miami a
few years ago, and we all made a big deal
about the offensive line sitting on the bench, Yes, on
the bench.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
It brought up a conversation at that point in time
about one of the number one ways to view culture
is the energy on the sideline when anyone makes a
play or something happens on the field. What does it
look like our guys on the end line are they
running out? And in practices times two is the sense

(12:48):
of belief, in the sense of like culture and something
being created can be felt on the sidelines. That's as
loud and as energetic of a sideline as we've seen
around And I know that that it can be that
way in practice sometimes, but it has been more. It
has been extra this year. You can feel that, and

(13:09):
I think that comes from confidence. And I remember talking
to Jordan Battle after he made that play on Jamar
Chase that I think circulated a lot in the red
zone drill by the back pylon, and he gets in
Jamar Chase's face and he was like, you know, yeah,
it's a sign of how confident I am that I'm
gonna get in Jamar Chase's face when I make a play.
And that's everybody, like, we all feel so confident what

(13:31):
we're doing and how we're doing it and the level
that we're able to play at that we were able
to do that, and I think that's just a sign.
All of that talk is just a sign of them
feeling like they're in a really good place.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Speaking of confidence, that was a central theme and what
you wrote about Miles Murphy. Yeah, for the Athletic dot
Com and I want to spend a few minutes on that.
We have to talk about Shamar Stewart's impact in camp,
Trey Hendrickson being listed on the third team on the
depth chart, and Noah fans around a well. We have

(15:11):
About Miles, Murphy, yeah who is kind of you, know
all the way over here you Had Trey hendrickson all
off season, long all the way over here you Have
Shamar stewart all off season, long and then right in
the middle is a guy, who needless to, say has
a lot to. Prove did you write this column or
write this, piece this feature On Miles murphy because you

(15:31):
finally wanted to incorporate the phraseology of got that dog
in him and referring to a.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Player, Yeah i'm actually disappointed my editor didn't put the picture.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Of the ribs with the dogs in.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Him, well it's, funny it's, silly, RIGHT i understand that it's.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Silly but here is the.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Thing when you got through the Entire Miles murphy, conversation
AND i talked to a lot of people about him
about with this whole what happened, here what's happening?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Here iteveritly boils down.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
To, That, yeah, like does he have the mentality to do?
This does he have that kind of craziness in, him
that that nastyness whatever you want to call, it that
dog WHICH i feel like the modern version of, that
to do?

Speaker 8 (16:16):
This?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah and no one's debating that he can't physically do.
It no one's debating that he can't figure out how
to do a couple of. Moves like they're simpling that
they have a. Plan right, there there were quieting Miles
murphy Down he talked, about you, know not sitting there
thinking which of these eight moves AM i gonna? Do
i'm gonna do one of two or, three And i'm
gonna master those and just let my athleticism be. Enough

(16:40):
all Of, like all of that's. FINE i think you
can you can buy all of. That the only one
that's unanswered is does he have the real drive to do?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
This does he really want?

Speaker 3 (16:50):
It and can he bring that kind of violence and
physicality and desperation to every rush that you kind of.
Need he hasn't to this, point and he's acknowledged, that and,
that to me is the question, Right that's WHERE i
Kept that's WHERE i, landed AND i was, LIKE i
Guess i'm gonna use the dog MET i was, like

(17:12):
BECAUSE i feel like that is kind of what this
delp does boil down to with. Him it's not a
matter of any of the other. Stuff you can figure
that st of it. Out but as he said at the,
end no coach can bring it out of. Me it's
up to the. Player it's up To, myles and he's
got to do it by making, plays building confidence that
he can do, it and finding finding that next level

(17:35):
to go to go pull it.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Off he says all the right things in your, piece
which is very very. GOOD i can't help, though but ask,
like prior to the draft in twenty twenty, three when
they took, him did they not know that he might
not have quote that dog in? Him, WELL i think
we're still asking that. Question it's been with a team

(17:57):
for two.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
YEARS i think there's a reason guy with his physical
traits was available at twenty, Eight, RIGHT i mean it
was because, okay he didn't he didn't see it all the. Time,
Right You're Jerry, montgomery WHICH i think is a really
quite a very underdiscussed portion of this talk about you,

(18:22):
know seeing him take plays, off seeing him quit on,
rushes and a recognition that this is the, problem and
tell him this is it And i'm not going to allow.
THIS i am going to stay on you about this.
Stuff AND i don't, KNOW i don't know what was
going on With luenarumo And Marion hobby and people that

(18:42):
were working With miles, before but there's certainly an idea that.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
This was being allowed.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Before maybe he just needs somebody to give this, push
and he seems to be very responsive and excited about
what's what's happening in terms of the way he's being,
coached some of the difference he feels like it's making
for him and and that it's it's. Showing BUT i
think there's also understanding that sometimes you're hoping that it

(19:11):
will just come.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Out of a guy because they have the.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Trades it's Either, OKAY i got a guy doesn't have the,
traits but he's got the, mentality Or i've got the
guy that. Has maybe we got to try to build
some of the. Mentality maybe it'll. Mature he was, young
he's a twenty one year old. Kid maybe it'll come
out of these are the chances that you. Take but
it could be the reason why if it doesn't come
out Of miles this, year it's certainly gonna be the
reason why we're not talking about him.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Anymore in that same position, GROUP i am encouraged by
the fact That Shamar stewart went from somebody who for
months we didn't really discuss football specific stuff to a
guy who want to talk about the football specific stuff
you guys are seeing in training. Camp is making us
kind of forget the months of offseason. Drama we've already forgotten. It, yeah,

(19:53):
it's oh my, goodness look at this. Guy good due, Though,
yeah good for. That due is WHY i didn't have
to be this.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Way it never should have even already this, way, right
because this should have been what we should have been
talking about the entire. TIME i was still am very
surprised how quickly he has shown, up, right and how
not just that repeatedly YOU i, mean you're seeing it
every day every day, There. Chamar every day you see

(20:21):
him make a play and you, KNOW i can't remember
if we talked about it last week or, whatever but
you know there's a play last week where where he
just sort of teleports Around Orlando brown on the back
end when we were inside and it's it's.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is, it, like this is?

Speaker 3 (20:39):
It this is the reason you do, this and it
shows you when we would talk about you, know there's
there's a pretty high floor on guys with that kind of,
athleticism like there's just so much. Right and now the
tone Of Al golden the other, day the tone Of
Zach taylor talking About Shamar stewart has been. Glowing of

(21:02):
the versatility is where they start of, like, man you
can put him inside and he's doing this.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Stuff he's strong in, there.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
He's, violent he's, disruptive and then you're seeing he's doing.
It he's running around the. Outside And Jerry montgomery talked
about in the first couple of, Days schamar was just
trying to go down the middle of.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Everybody and then they.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Start really sort of fine tuning, him working on the,
edges and all of a, sudden you see that rare
athleticism right, pop and you see he's he's given the
old with a lot of primal screams that are happening
on the practice, seal.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
But he he's given some of.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Those you're seeing some of that energy and excitement from,
him BECAUSE i think there was a thought when you
went through the the contract stuff and, whatever is like
how much does he want to be here?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Right how much he? CAN i don't. Know it looks
you see him out there caring about, practice ask those, Questions,
yes how could you? Not BUT i mean that's why you,
know we'll see if we'll see if he does anything
on the field against the another team On. Thursday time
will tell if he turns out to be the right
pick at seventeen. Overall BUT i give him credit for
with a lot of attention being paid to him showing up,

(22:10):
late not signing the, way for becoming a talking point
for reasons that have very little to do with. Football
he instantly changed the. Conversation he looked, Ready he Looked
we were all wondering when he shows, up is he
going to be? Ready he looks. Prepared good for. Him
Many i'll we kind of beat up on that dude
a little bit for the way he handled the standoff

(22:31):
with The. BENGALS i think he had that come. In
if you're going to be, fair you got to credit
somebody when they changed the.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Conversation and he has, YEAH i, mean he hasn't had
to do in his, life a lot of molding of
a public image or. Business you know. What he has
done a lot of. Football, yeah and he looks like
a guy's done a lot of. Football. Yeah he looks
comfortable out there doing. That and so, yeah that has
been really impressive how quickly he showed up and how

(22:57):
consistently he showed.

Speaker 2 (22:58):

YEAH i can't wait to see. It love, love love that.
Event one more. Thing on defensive, Ends Trey hendrickson listed
on the depth chart as a third. Teamer did they
do this With Jamar chase last? Year?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
No, okay but yeah that's because he's just only gonna
play a rotation.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
ROLE i, GUESS i. Guess, So, yeah they're just trying
to make the. Team, yeah maybe see if he can
force his way into the squad on special teams. Somehow,
yeah thirty plus million dollar field goal block. ARTIST i
don't know kind of a middle finger to try, It
let's be. Honest, yeah well they didn't do it With
Jamar chase last. YEAR i don't. Know maybe they. DID
i have to go.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
BACK i don't even. KNOW i honestly don't even know
if the coaches even see that depth. Chart, okay that
is just it is just thrown. Together something has to
be on, Here SO i DON'T i don't think it
was meant to be.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
That, somebody, though somebody decided to take a Defensive player
of The year finalist and put him on the third
team on the depth. Chart that's part of the. Race
that's just. Said not practicing, fine, okay but somebody made
the decision to.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Do who is to say if he would be starting
if he was practicing right?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Now no one can say that for Certain. Miles Miles
murphy now with that dog in, him might have. Supplanted
we don't know if the. Dog we don't know what
dog it. Is, no a fan might have some dog
in a. Mind, NO i didn't know he's A. BENGAL
i like, this love.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It, YEAH i Mean i've thought that it was another
quiet position that you didn't hear much about them looking to.
Upgrade but they, Were, yeah and it's just kind of
fell into their laps a little.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
BIT i, mean you said last week to, me is
the ship? Sailed and oh, no weird.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Life, yeah because, no because they they look from the very,
beginning they thought this was a sort of like manna from,
heaven if you. Will it just kind of fell out
because they didn't check the tight end box like they
wanted to this offseason, totally and yet, boom all of a,
sudden this guy who's a great fit for what they
want was still. There so they went after. Him they
went after him pretty. AGGRESSIVELY i, mean maybe, noah which

(27:21):
is that he was making more than two point eight or,
whatever but that's a decent chunk for The bengals sitting
there right now to go out and make that. Happen
plus incentives and, yeah he's you're gonna see a bunch of.
Them they're gonna carve out a role for, him and
they're gonna need that depth over the course of the.
Year and so, yeah it's it's the type of move
that you've wanted them to do more of in recent

(27:44):
years at this time of. Year, yeah they haven't added
that depth. Piece they haven't added somebody who's out, there
who's enticing they haven't gone after that, player and because
you're gonna need that and then You and it's a
lot of times it's been in positions that you've regretted
not doing, it whether it was defensive tax in recent
years or.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Whatever so maybe this is a little bit of a.
Change there haven't been. THAT i, mean, look they've they've
grabbed players from other teams who have been cut close
to the, opener but not real, guys but not like real,
Guys like that's a, Guy Noah. Fan if The seahawks
had cut, him you, know On march, first and he's
a free, agent you are like circling that, name understanding
what has happened at that position with the two dudes they,

(28:22):
Drafted like that's that is say what you want about
guard and the, Secondary like that is a name that
we all would have said that dude right. There, yeah
and it's.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Circumstantial you, know If John schnyder has been interviewed a
couple of times In seattle since and you just talking
about this was strictly a cap casually. Thing they drafted
a couple of rookies and they they were waiting till
the last possible moment that they could see that these
rookies were definitely ready to take over the. Position and
then Before Noah fan had to go out there and
practice and maybe get hurt and get the money that

(28:51):
he's supposed to. Get so that's why the timing of
this was was what it. Was and it's basically just
we weren't gonna do nine million. Here we need to
clear that for other. Stuff so it's not because necessarily
because of him as a, player.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Totally, yeah it's a lot of. Money is it is
a lot of. Money it's a good pick. Up and,
UH i watched him after practice run routes today.

Speaker 8 (29:12):
And that was.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Fun he's an. Athlete there's a reason he's first round,
pick no. Question all. Right The Growler podcast The athletic Dot.
Com we cut your hour short because we Have Tony
pike From he's still sitting down. THERE i saw him
AND i was leaving.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Earlier he's just sitting there that he had the feet
up on the, table just relax and they were aer
rating the.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Field he was giving me a blow by blow of.
That they may continue here in a few. MINUTES i
can't wait to find out what happens. Next, yeah maybe
another cut still be out.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
THERE i have no. Idea could Be, golden MIGHT i
mean first one, in last one.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Out Al, golden first one out, today but wouldn't shake
anybody's hand because he's getting off a cold fist. Bump that's. Nice,
yeah it's going, AROUND i suppose. SO i don't know
to you, now but thanks To Al golden being very.
CONSCIENTIOUS i just don't Want Joe burrow to get, sick
or MAYBE i do so he doesn't have to play.
On there's nothing you've wanted.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
More Tell i'll go on to go around and Shake
Joe burrow's hand so you don't have to.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Watch, yeah, yeah all, right well thanks as, always my.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Race Saying Claire roofing. Hotline our Friend Tony pike with
this hour training camp hourly training camp reports every day
three forty five ish for forty five ish and five
forty five, Ish, tony how's it?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Going you sound Like Zach taylor talking about how long
the starters will play On thursday night a quarter if.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
You saw how about? This we have very good a
quarter ish for The bengals On Thursday, night AND i
think for a lot of, us all eyes are going
to be on the offensive, line specifically On Dylan. Fairchild.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
YEAH i mean it's time now to see if he
can fit in The National Football. League And i'm not
saying he can't for his, career but he's being asked
to go from a early to mid round draft pick
to Starting game one for a team that Has Super
bowl aspirations in a Super bowl caliber offense that's a
lot to shoulder for a rookie in The National Football.

(31:53):
League so, yeah you, know the offensive line hasn't been
great in training. CAMP A Maris mims has questions going.
On the, guard the position has questions going. On Orlando
Brown junior has to be.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Better at some.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Point the conversation needs to shift about what this team
is able to do, upfront especially when you're going into
a game that you should dominate in the trenches because
you're going to go up against the second third teamers
from The Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
EAGLES i was just talking With Paul Danner junior about the. Preseason,
Look i'm not looking forward to this because the idea
it's a necessary. EVIL i get. It he wants to
play in the preseason then trying to get off to
a faster. Start so, fine Play Joe burrow in the.
Preseason he has stated he wants to. Play but do
you need to Have Jamar chase AND T higgins out
there with him the entire Time joe's on the? Field.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
NO i would say a series maybe two AT max
one because of the history of the soft tissue injuries WITH.
T higgins and. Two Jamar chase is automantly stated he
doesn't want to be out there in. Three, look at
some point you've got to work on the trust With
Joe burrow And Jermaine burton and Andre, yoshibasen and more
so With, burton who's had a great. Camp but we're
talking about the opportunity to have meaningful reps With Joe

(33:02):
burrow And Jermaine, burton AND i think by Getting higgins
And chase out of, there you open the door for
more of those opportunities to, Say, okay we have something
here or we're not quite there. Yet as it pertains
To Jermaine.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Burton give me one thing on the defensive side of
the ball you want to see On. Thursday.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Tackling you know we always wait until the season starts
and then we talk about all their missing. Tackles, well
this is an opportunity with The ones again against a
second and third team group to do. THAT i saw earlier.
TODAY i think it Was Courtney cronin ON x she
covers The bears now FOR. Espn she said she doesn't
know in ten years covering THE nfl she's ever seen

(33:41):
as much live tackling as in a practice that they saw.
Today that's not something we see In. Cincinnati they don't go,
live so you, know DO i want to see him play? Fast?
Yes do you want to eliminate the explosive play? Yes
do you want to dominate the? Trenches? Absolutely but this
team needs to tackle better and it's the first opportunity
On thursday night to get into space and make tackles

(34:02):
in the open.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Field you, know for, Me, tony AND i don't know about,
You i've been talking about this for. Weeks i'm really
excited to get a chance to see WHAT Pj jewels
does on the field On.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Thursday can't wait FOR Pj jewels to go from waiting
outside the practice facility today asking you what was happening
inside the facility to WHAT i would imagine will be
preseason game number ONE MVP Pj. Jewels it's a story
that will one day have its own thirty for THIRTY i.

the chase for the last wildcard or maybe the second.
Wildcard and it was awesome if you hate The, cubs
because it put a dent in their chances to win
The National League. Central Now milwaukee has a three game
lead The Cincinnati. Reds it's very easy when you're a
fan of a baseball team and you watch them every

(36:11):
single day to pick apart their warts and. Deficiencies that's
what we do as, fans that's WHAT i do as
a sports talk radio. Host maybe they're not going to
make the postseason three out with forty nine to. Go

Chicago Tommy Thrald's Radio network last night four FOUR espn
fifteen thirty On Moeger thank you for listening, Today brendanman
And jones On. Baseball later on this, hour another check
in With Tony pike as. Well latest On bengals training.
CAMP i would describe today's practice as a light workout
that might be a little bit. Generous more on that
coming up here in just a. Bit we do have
tickets to give away a week from tomorrow Night Red's

(38:21):
phillies with a postgame concert Featuring train that is just
about thirty minutes. Away you heard the calls from last,
NIGHT Tj friedel's go ahead single in the top of
the seventh, Inning Emelia pegan getting the final out last
Night red's win the first of that series In chicago
by a score of three to. TWO i don't know
if there's going to be any sort of carryover. EFFECT

(38:42):
i think if there's one, thing as baseball, fans most
of us are guilty, of and WHEN i say, us
that includes, ME i think we can be a little
bit guilty of if a team loses a really tough,
game thinking there's gonna be some sort of incredible. Carryover
like baseball players are used to doing a lot of,
losing they typically bounce back emotionally and mentally very, quickly

(39:04):
and the carryover from one win to the next IS
i think often at times also overstated let's talk about
last night very. Quickly you may be skeptical that this
team can overcome The padres or The mets and get
to the, postseason and that's. Fair my take on The
reds has not changed since opening. DAY i think this

(39:26):
team's starting pitching is going to be good enough to
keep this team in the hunt till close to the very.
END i do not believe their offense is going to
be good enough to get him into the. POSTSEASON i
Hope i'm dead wrong about. That but let's just look
at last. Night first of, all and you're not gonna
want to hear this because the game wasn't played In,
cincinnati but that atmosphere for that ball game last night

(39:49):
that looked and felt like a really important baseball. Game
it's Not. September there's still basically a third of the
season to. GO i think sometimes play off feel is
a little bit. Overstated that felt like a playoff game last,
night that vibe that energy in the ballpark last. Night
let's face, it The Chicago cubs are chasing or trying

(40:09):
to chase down A milwaukee team that is right now
got the best record in the sport that has surprised
everybody that is winning to a degree in spite of
its efforts of its front. Office they've won four. Straight
they win again last. Night so you're just trying to
keep pace if you're The, cubs if you're A cubs,
fan you're hoping your team can simply keep pace With.
Milwaukee but you are also in the middle of a playoff.

(40:32):
Push the, vibe the energy a summer night At Wrigley
field last, night everybody was into the game and just
where we are in the, calendar right like we, Are
we're in the dog, days but we're in the final
third of the. Season it was two teams playing for
postseason positioning or a postseason. Spot that felt like the
kind of game that The, reds let's just say this,

(40:55):
century have not spent that much time playing. In let's be,
honest for most of my adult, life The reds have
not played in a lot of games like that that
In august felt sounded and seemed. Big the play last
night Where Kee Brian hayes makes a really nice grab

(41:15):
at third, base a very good throw and gets out
to end the seventh. Inning upon further, Review Dansby swanson
after he doesn't step on first base like the apprehension
during the ninety seconds to two minutes that we were
trying to find out if the call was going to
be upheld or. Overturned that was tension. Filed that was

(41:36):
tension filed. Eight an important ballgame felt like it hinged
on that overturn or lack. Thereof and so that to
me last night was the first, real like big game.
Feel maybe not big, game but that was the first
game The reds have played in all season long that
just had a different type of. Feel it's a little
bit easier and more fun to talk about the day

(41:58):
after when your team wins the. Game so let's start with.
That let's continue through what happened in the second inning last,
night because there's two. Things, One Nick lidolo has been
really good for this team pitching in the shadows Of Andrew,
abbott who's been An All star pitching to a large
degree ever since he got to the big. Leagues in

(42:18):
the shadow Of Hunter, green Nick lodolo has very quietly
emerged as a very reliable middle of the rotation. Guy
in middle of the, rotation you need middle of the rotation,
dudes like you judge starting staffs and their depth by
not who the ace, is but who fills it. Out
Nick lodolo could help fill out pretty much any rotation in.

(42:39):
Baseball he has been a life saver for this. Team
so you lose him early and you're, thinking holy, crap
what is. This this is a guy they could ill
afford to. Lose you find out it's just a. Blister
by the, way he's gone on the injured. List but
a day after The reds needed to turn to their
bullpen in the second inning because of the rain And,
bristol they have to go into their bullpen in the

(43:00):
second inning last, night and While Nick martinez wasn't, great
he at least kept him. Alive and then the combination
Of Scott, Barlow Graham, ashcraft the highly Underrated Tony, santien
and the very Underrated Amelia pegan shut The cubs, down
giving up just one hit the final five innings of

(43:20):
the ballgame last. Night they buy time for offensive. Heroics
they buy time For Elie delacruz to tie the. Game
they buy time FOR. Tj friedel to win the. Game and, look,
man you have to acknowledge this when you're a fan
of a baseball team and you watch every single day,
again something we're all guilty. Of we pick it, apart.

(43:44):
Right we know all their, worts we know their. Deficiencies
we obsess over the back end of the. ROSTER i
gotta be honest with. You as much AS i Like Will,
BENSON i really can't work up the heart to make
a real convincing argument That Will benson should be. Here
i'm tired of talking about the back end of the.
Roster but it's not that it doesn't, matter because this

(44:06):
team's death has often been tested this, year and at
times it has. Failed but we obsess over what they don't.
Do they're not good against, Lefties they've got some holes on,
offense their corner production at first base wasn't very. Good
ces has been a massive. Flop there are some guys
who got off to slow, starts whose collective seasons aren't.
Great we're waiting for other players to take another step.

(44:28):
Forward we pick apart bullpen usage in every maneuver by the.
Manager that's what we do as baseball, fans and at,
times AND i will admit it could take a real
negative tone, sometimes, though you have to step away from
all that and give credit words, due and this team
deserves it BECAUSE i cannot tell, You and maybe it's

(44:49):
a social media thing more than anything else. Where the
tendency is to overreact to. Everything but how many times
this year has it felt like The reds have lost
the kind of game it just emotionally feels like it
could send them into a downward. Spiral how many times
this year has it felt like the loss the night
before or the loss that day was quote the beginning

(45:11):
of the. End how many times this year has it
felt like because they lose two or three in a,
row it feels like the season is kind, of AS
i always, say teetering on the. Brink almost every single
time they have figured out a way to bounce. Back
last night they had to do it in the face
of even more adversity when they faced a bunch in

(45:33):
and in the aftermath of that game In bristol for
the second straight, day they had to turn to their
bullpen in the second inning last. Night this time they
have to do it on the road against a good offensive.
Club they hold The cubs to three, Hits they figure
out a way to win the. Ballgame they gain a
game On San, diego they gain a game On New.
York three back with forty nine to go is not,
insignificant but it's clearly not, insurmountable is. AM I if

(45:58):
you told ME i had to bet my house on
The reds making the postseason or not making the, POSTSEASON
i would bet on them Not And i'm sorry to
do that. AGAIN i Hope i'm dead. Wrong IF i
made that, BET i would want to lose my. House
and we can discuss and will continue to discuss what
they've done at the deadline and the composition of the
roster and have they successfully made the kind of upgrades

(46:19):
we were hoping. For is leaning into defense with Keep
Brian hayes going to pay? Off how much risk are
they incurring long term because he's here the rest of
the decade by adding one guy who crushes? Lefties have
they rectified their issue against left handed? Pitching what do
they do in the short term in the starting rotation
Without Nick? Lodolo what are they going to do long
term Once Nick lodolo comes back And Hunter green is?

(46:41):
Here all different things we can discuss and will, discuss
and this will be the fun, PART i, hope over
the next six to seven. Weeks but like last, night,
Man i'm, sorry you just you had to tip your,
cap as cliche as that, sounds as stupid as it,
sounds as hokey as it. Sounds so many times this,
year maybe it's just, me but so many times this

(47:02):
year it has felt, like, boy you know, what after
that loss, yesterday they need, tonight the way they lost
the game On, sunday on the heels of that devastating
loss On thursday night where they scored eight runs to
tie the game in the eighth, inning it has felt,
like just over the last couple of, days like this
season's about to kind of get, sideways and they have

(47:22):
bounced back every single. Time you don't do that if
you don't have some good things going for. You this
team starting pitching is, good like legitimately. Good they have
a lot of guys in the bullpen who are legitimately.
GOOD i Know twitter was waiting to come at me
Because Amelio. Pegun you, know he's facing, three, four five

(47:43):
in the ninth and, omg if he gives up a base,
runner here we go. Again meliopegun has gotten the job
done an overwhelmingly large percentage of the. Time this is
a pretty good. CLUB i wish they were. BETTER i
fear they're not good, enough but at the very, least
they have gotten this too close to the second week Of,

(48:03):
august when oftentimes this year it felt like the season
was on the verge of, cratering and they have figured
out a way to ensure that it. Hasn't if you,
can on some level appreciate that in real, TIME i don't.
KNOW i can't help, You LIKE i know we're all
fixated in sports on the. Destination are they or are

(48:25):
they not going to make the? Postseason and if they,
don't what's the fallout going? To be very fair, question
but good, god in real, time like we have had
so few playoff, Chases we've had so few pennant races,
here LIKE i enjoyed the hell out of that last,
night because we simply haven't done a whole lot of Early.

(48:48):
August summer's not. Over big game against the team with
similar playoff, aspirations great, crowd and they figure out a
way to. Win if you can't say that on some,
LEVEL i don't know why you're a baseball. FAN i
don't know why you're A reds. Fan and if you,
can't AND i will, admit, MAN i can be as

(49:08):
guilty as anybody of dwelling on what this team doesn't
do well, enough or what they don't, have or what
they have missed out, on or where they fall. Short
but for one hundred and thirteen games, now it has
often felt like they were a loss or two away

(49:28):
from being able to be completely counted. Out and every single,
time sometimes in a garden variety, way and sometimes in
a way that kind of defies, logic like last, night
where you're walking a tight rope all night long and
you've got to use an already over text bullpen for
more than seven, innings they figure out a way to.

(49:49):
WIN i hope on some level that if you care
all about The Cincinnati, reds you could appreciate what they've
done to this. Point, look, MAN i cannot stress this.
ENOUGH i understand concerns over the. TEAM i share. Them
i'm not nuts about what they did at the trade.

(50:09):
Deadline Because Keith Ryan, hayes as brilliant of a play
as he made last night at third, base and as
good of a defensive player as he, IS i think
it's completely fair to wonder about offensive production at a
corner infield, spot especially when you've got a guy who's
twenty eight years. Old who's under team control through twenty twenty.
Nine but this team all season long has managed to

(50:30):
not get knocked. Down and while at the end of the,
day if that's the thing we're hanging our hat on
in Late september Early, october it's not going to be good.
Enough on the First tuesday Of. August it is seventeen
minutes after four five point, three, seven, four, nine fifteen
thirty will get you in eight, six, six seven oh
two three seven seven six works as. Well reds And

(50:53):
cubs again. Tonight now we do have to talk, about you,
know moving, Forward Nick. Lodolo hopefully it's a blister that
has him a starter two and he's gonna be. Okay
maybe this pushes them towards Rushing hunter greenback more quickly
than they would. Like we'll. See he hasn't gone past
three in the third innings in a minor league game
yet this. Year we will. See this is why though

(51:15):
you Wanted Zach lttel of all the moves And Kibrian,
hayes we talked about the pros and Cons Miguel. ANDUHAR
i think we know what he was brought. Here the
team has been so bad this season against, lefties good platoon,
option not a guy who's going to help you with the.
Glove but it was interesting for much of the first.
Half whenever the trade deadline got talked, about we kind

(51:36):
of discounted the possibility of them adding a starting. Pitcher
that was never worth. Doing Number, one they say you
can never have enough starting. Pitching number. Two this team
starting pitching death has already been. Tested Number. Three they've
had some guys in the rotation all season long who
either feel like better hit the better fits in the,
bultpen Like Nick, martinez or because of where they are

(51:58):
in their, career just you're gonna have to use in
the bullpen And Chase. Burns and then you have a
guy going the injured, list and it crystallizes even. FURTHER
i guess how important it was to go at some
starting pitching. Depth Hopefully Zach lttel can pay off with
a good start tonight At Wrigley. Field nineteen minutes after four.
O'clock coming up in about fifteen, Minutes we're gonna give

(52:20):
away tickets To. Redsphillies Next, wednesday there's a postgame concert by.
Train we have arrived at the part of the preseason
that we have been. DREADING i am hoping to do
something THAT i actually did do last. Year we'll get
to that coming up in a few minutes ON espn
fifteen Thirty Cincinnati Sports station at four. O'clock this IS

(52:43):
espn fifteen. THIRTY i gotta come up with a pole
question On twitter at molegor a pole questions come your
way thanks To United Hurtland. Insurance check out you aims dot.
Com Uh, Ian you're ON espn fifteen, Thirty, ian how are? You?

Speaker 4 (53:01):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (53:01):
BROTHER i got solutions For Nick, bladolo BUT i looked
it up on chat.

Speaker 8 (53:08):
Chept and that sense.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
That could use super. Blue if it's like completely dried
and doesn't have any, tack it's technically, legal but an
uppire or another team if they want to be, suspicious
could bring up an issue with, it and it could
be a whole. Thing i'm guessing maybe they've tried that.

(53:34):
Route BUT i really. Wonder you know WHAT i, mean
BECAUSE i WHEN i was first started playing, BASS i
would get blisters really bad in the bass, strings a
lot bigger than guitar. Strings And i'd have a show
like that night and it's, bleeding AND i put the
Super blue on and playing for two, hours striking with

(53:55):
that rigid string and it held up the whole. Time
So i'm just, wondering is it a thing like he's
tried it and he just doesn't like the way it
makes a hard point on the. Finger IF i was,
Him i'd want to play for how well he's been,
performing you know that see him have to sit out

(54:15):
because of?

Speaker 11 (54:16):
That it.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Sucked, no it's it's a it's a bummer for. Him
it's it's a bummer for the. Team. UH i have
no idea what remedies they have or haven't. Tried WHAT
I WHAT i can tell you is this that, really
since the middle Of, june there have been few pitchers
in baseball as good As, nicolodolo and any amount of
time he, misses in particular While Hunter green isn't, available

(54:37):
is is a major negative for this. Club.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
YEAH i felt like a gut, punch, like oh, man
this might be.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It you, KNOW i don't want to believe, that but uh,
no the team's biggest. Strength the team's biggest strength is
their starting. PITCHING i, mean what what they did at
the deadline leans into defense and starting. Pitching Miguel Andrew
hartnett was, standing and so it's impossible to imagine this
team catching The padres and getting to the postseason if
their biggest strength ends up being severely. Compromised and so

(55:07):
With Nick, lidolo you, simply you simply hope that he
is not going to miss more than maybe two, stars come,
back be, okay and never have to deal with this
sort of thing. Again.

Speaker 8 (55:17):
Yeah one last, comment.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
You know the other day.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Watching then THAT i just hated that rule on a
tie putting a guy on.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
SECOND i think it's, Ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (55:31):
AND i think if you're gonna do something that, ridiculous
how about retract that rule and let like pitchers use
something with a little tack if especially if they really needed.
It it put more spin on the, ball but it
might be more fun to watch the. Pitches if you're
gonna do something, That, brady why don't you LET i

(55:52):
know it's out. There but that's just my.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Thought how my, Recommendation ian thank you is is when
a game is tied after nine, innings how about just play?
BASEBALL i, mean MY i guess my two issues with
the magic runner. Role it's year, six it's not going.
AWAY i Know i'm in the minority here Is number,
one it's not. Baseball baseball is figure out a way

(56:16):
to get a guy all the way around the bases
and that counts as a. Run that is maybe a
caveman way of looking at. Things Number, Two i've always
felt like it is a solution in search of a.
Problem we did not, Have and at one POINT i
did all the research on, this AND i do not

(56:37):
have it in front of. Me we did not have
an epidemic of nineteen inning games prior to twenty. Twenty
you know this, Idea, well we're trying to limit those
games that go, forever and you, KNOW i understand there's
a specific number of pitchers that each team is allowed to.
Carry you're trying to avoid situations where a guy blows
his arm. OUT i believe those games happen so. Infrequently

(56:59):
the over majority of extra inning, games which in a
given year prior to twenty, twenty in a given year
is close to ten. PERCENT i did this, math OR
i did this, research and AGAIN i don't have it
in front of. Me, boy WHAT i remember is since nineteen,
ninety on, average about ten percent of games go extra.

(57:21):
Innings some years it was around. Nine some years it
might have been, eleven but it was basically ten. Percent
ten percent of. Games so for One Major league baseball,
team that's sixteen. Games the overwhelming majority of extra inning
games end up being done by the eleventh. Inning and

(57:43):
like at one, POINT i, remember like looking up this,
century how many games have gone past the fifteenth or the.
Sixteenth by the, way when they do, happen they're, fun they're,
different they're. Weird you don't have to do The Aaron
harang put him out there on his day off and
run risk of him getting. Hurt you're allowed to sack
the short term for the sake of winning the. War
that's that's always been a part of. Baseball it just to,

(58:06):
me it's it's not real. Baseball that game Last thursday,
night which was a great nine inning, game great nine inning,
Game atlanta goes up by, eight The reds tie it
with eight in the. EIGHTH a great baseball game gets
decided because The braves score a guy from second base
in the top of the tenth inning that The reds

(58:26):
obviously had their licks in the bottom of the tenth,
inning they start with the guy on second. Base it
just felt like a, cheap stupid way to get the
game over. With AND i as much AS i really
like many of the initiatives and rule, changes baseball is
put in the, PLACE i think this rule is intended
to just let's let's get these regular season games over.

(58:48):
With by the, way they don't use the Magic runner
rule in the, postseason the games that matter. Most we
actually play baseball in the tenth. Inning if there was
a huge rash Of Major League baseball games that were
going into the sixteen or seventeenth, inning let's do something about.
It it is ridiculous how few games went past the
twelfth inning prior to the implementation of the Magic runner.

(59:11):
Rule So i've maintained all along it is a solution
in search of a. Problem, yes when you have a
nineteen inning, game it can be damaging to your. Team,
yes when you have a nineteen inning. Game, look owners
don't like the nineteen inning, games which they don't happen,
anymore but when they, did because they can't sell beer

(59:31):
through nineteen. Innings beer sales have been cut off for
more than nine innings by. THEN i Just i'm not
a big purest guy, like let's, evolve let's put stuff
in that makes the game. Better most of the rule
CHANGES i think have been. Awesome the magic runner rule
has never really made sense to, me but it's a

(59:52):
rule that both teams agree. On The reds didn't lose
that game On thursday night because of the magic runner.
Rule they lost that game because they gave up a
runs in the top of the eighth, inning negating that
eight runs they scored in their half of the eighth.
Inning all, right you want to go See Reds. Phillies
hopefully it's a nine inning game Because train's gonna play.
After we need. Contestants we're going to test your knowledge

(01:00:13):

Fifteen thirty with the latest From bengals training, camp brought
you By Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg on your official home of
The Cincinnati, BENGALS espn fifteen thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
And Tony pike joins us every hour with the latest
From bengals training. Camp let's let's discuss, Today. Tony The
bengals training camp practices for the most part have Felt
chris up, Tempo they've had some pep in. THEM i,
mean maybe that's why today's workout stood out because none
of those characteristics would.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Apply, yeah it felt like a practice from previous. Years
AND i think that says more about the tone that's
been set this, year because that's something we've talked about
often of, urgency. Physicalness the length of the practices today
was the opposite of all of. That but you also

(01:06:33):
understand it because it's not just a series here a series.
There Zach kenley used the term several series that the
starters are going to, play or most of the starters
are going to. Play so if they're going to get
their Work, thursday it makes sense today to use that
day to make sure you're operating the correct way, right
you're operating a sense of getting it out of the,

(01:06:54):
huddle lining up in the right, spot going over the
plays in which you feel most confident in that you
can run On thursday, night get that work done, today
and hopefully it produces a more crisp product On.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Thursday we're not going to Watch Trey, hendrickson but if
you look at the depth, chart you would wonder If Trey,
hendrickson under, contract is even going to make the. Team
what did you make of The bengals listing him as
a third.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
TEAMER i think it's a little bit of a of
a jab At Trey. HENDRICKSON i haven't had the chance
to go, back BUT i don't Think Jamar chase was
listed as a third. TEAMER i think they kept him
as a starter all last year while he was at
practice but not doing anything during training. Camp SO i
don't know if it's a statement that's made more so

(01:07:36):
than just a little bit of a. Jab but you,
know it's just. Odd you, know leave ME nfl in
sacks and you see him on the depth chart as
a third team guy on a defense that was terrible last.
Year it is A it's an interesting site for, Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Yeah no question about. IT i Had Paul Danner junior
here with me in studio last. Hour we were talking
about what he wrote About Miles. Murphy we talk about starters.
Playing Miles murphy's going to play On. Thursday it'd be
kind of nice to see him make an impact against The.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
Eagles, yeah it's kind of a guy In Miles. Murphy
we haven't talked about a. BUNCH i Know Paul Danner
junior did a great write, up but you, know it's
not someone that we've talked about a lot during training.
Camp at the start of camp we talked about the
importance Of Miles murphy Because Jamar stewart wasn't there And
Trey hendrickson wasn't, there and this is the. Opportunity he's
always looked the part from a physical, standpoint you, know

(01:08:26):
can he piece it together Under Al golden's. DEFENSE i
think he's going to be fascinating to, see but he
at least has checked the boxes up to this. Point and,
again what can you do in game? Action what can you?
Do because let's face, IT i want to see domination
on the line of. Scrimmage if you're going up against
the team's second and third team and you are projected

(01:08:47):
to be a starter or compete for a starting, JOB
i want to see The bengals dominate up, front and
that would start on the defensive side With Miles murphy and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):

didn't you, know take a pancake out of his. Pocket
but he did talk about fishing, well you.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
KNOW i, mean be prepared for, everything which in your
profession you have to. Be you're gonna. Get you, know
The pirates haven't been very good this, year but The,
reds you, know all year, Long, trisia we keep waiting
for them to kind of you, know spiral out of.
Control and every time you, think oh the ends, Here
Terry franconas team figures out a way to get the

(01:14:51):
season back on, track and happened last night In. Chicago
it has happened all season. Long this, though is the
kind of series Against pittsburgh on the road that they've
got to take care of business in they.

Speaker 9 (01:15:02):
Do you got to win the games you're supposed to, win.

Speaker 11 (01:15:04):
RIGHT i remember one year WHEN i was.

Speaker 9 (01:15:06):
Covering The, rays they went something like nineteen and one
against The orioles when The orioles were horrifically.

Speaker 11 (01:15:11):
Bad and at the end of the, season when you
looked at The Al, east it came down to who.

Speaker 9 (01:15:18):
Played the best against The, orioles, really and SO i
think you're exactly. RIGHT i think they got to take
care of business against The.

Speaker 11 (01:15:24):
Pirates AND i liked.

Speaker 9 (01:15:25):
How you, mentioned you, know when they got To.

Speaker 11 (01:15:27):
Chicago what they.

Speaker 9 (01:15:28):
DID i think that, that in my, opinion you hope
that that game is THE dna of this team for
the rest of the, season because they got To chicago
tired as, heck after that tobacle at.

Speaker 11 (01:15:41):
The, speedway you, know the, rain and then playing the.

Speaker 9 (01:15:44):
Next day and using half of their BULL i mean
that was just. Wild and they get, there they're fighting
for a playoff, spot and they perform right under pressure
in a, close tight game when they are, exhausted and
you look at the standings and you, think, okay how
can they gain ground here in the wild card standings at?

(01:16:08):
Least and you look at a series like The pirates
and you, think all, right those are gimme. Games hopefully
it's never a gimmi game in, baseball but you hope
that they can get the job done there because that
does help the rest of the. Way, NOW i think
this series At wrigley is voting well for, them but you're,
right you go Into, pittsburgh you get the job. Done

(01:16:30):
then we go from. There AND i know what it's
like to cover a team where it's just dumping down
all season long and you, think all, right well.

Speaker 11 (01:16:38):
They're really going to flame out, here and then they never.

Speaker 9 (01:16:40):
DO i think that if The reds can get hot
down the, stretch you might be looking at it getting.

Speaker 11 (01:16:45):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Yeah, NO i, mean like we talked about this in
relation to last night's. Game we talked about it in
relation to the game they played On, friday where they
have suffered some of these losses where, look they haven't
made the postseason in a full year since twenty. Thirteen,
Right we're used to expecting the. Worst AND i give
this team a lot of credit because every time you
expect The Cincinnati reds to do Something Cincinnati, reds like

(01:17:08):
With Terry, francona they have figured out a way to
not do. That they pull themselves off the. PLANK i
think they deserve a lot of credit for.

Speaker 9 (01:17:14):
THAT i, AGREE i, Agree AND i also think you know.
THAT i JUST i THINK i just have a soft spot.

Speaker 11 (01:17:23):
For cincinnati in my heart BECAUSE i was raised in The, midwest,
Right BUT i would just love to see that, city you,
know experience the postseason again With Ellie Day La cruz.

Speaker 9 (01:17:34):
THERE i, mean that would just be. ELECTRIC i would
love to see. It it would make my heart so,
happy and SO i, REALLY i, mean you're not supposed
to really root.

Speaker 11 (01:17:44):
For teams as a, reporter BUT i am.

Speaker 9 (01:17:45):
Pulling for The reds down the stretch BECAUSE i think
it's good for baseball when a city like that does,
something AND i think it would just be awesome to.

Speaker 11 (01:17:54):
See, Yeah i'm all on.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Board you. Will you don't have to convince me at.
All six point forty On Friday, Night APPLE, Tv Tricia
whittaker on the sideline For reds. V. Pirates if either
manager offers you something to, EAT i can't wait to
see how you handle. It, nonetheless we'll be. Watching thank
you very much.

Speaker 9 (01:18:12):
Anytime thanks for having, me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Guys you got. It Tricia, Whitaker APPLE Tv Reds pirates
On Friday. Night reds did win that game last, night
which was. AWESOME i THINK i don't know that you're
going to get that kind of feel In pittsburgh this.
Weekend they are going to Face Paul. Skeins he is
going to pitch the game On. Thursday that ball game last,
Night you know you. COULD i think we're all guilty

(01:18:37):
at times during a baseball season of overstating the significance
of one victory or one. LOSS i think we have
done that with a lot of losses The reds have
suffered this. Year SO i don't want to, get you,
know too far ahead of ourselves with one. Victory BUT
i don't, know, man that one last night that felt
with with with what they had to deal with With,

(01:19:00):
nicolodolo coming off of how things went down In, bristol
the bullpen game On, sunday having to go back to
the bullpen in the second inning last, night walking the
tightrope with their pen in a close, game The Cabrian hayes,
play The matt McClain double, play the two plays That
elie de La cruz made in the seventh inning.

Speaker 6 (01:19:21):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Win just, emotionally that felt, like that felt like the
beginning of the wildcard. Chase last, night that felt like
the beginning of the playoff. Race and you, KNOW i
feel LIKE i have to say this every single. DAY
i GUESS i. Don't my take has not changed as
it relates to this. TEAM i think they're too good

(01:19:41):
to totally fade into. OBLIVION i don't think they're good
enough to actually be one of the six teams left
standing after everybody's played one hundred and sixty two of
The National. League but that, game that was just in a,
vacuum ignoring where they are in the, standings which they
did gain a game Against San diego and The mets last,

(01:20:01):
night that ballgame last, night that victory last night was
a little something to. Behold i'll just put it that.
Way thirteen minutes after five, o'clock, meanwhile you're gonna Hear
Zach taylor talking about the preseason and the plan on
A thursday night coming up in just a few. Minutes
we'll grab some phone calls as, well and we have
another pair of tickets to give away To Red's phillies

(01:20:24):
Next wednesday with a postgame concert By. Train let's let's be,
honest this game On thursday night is not going to
be any. Fun Joe burrow was gonna. Play the starting
players for The Cincinnati bengals are gonna. Play the players

(01:20:46):
who have will have the most to say about their
success or lack thereof this, season are going to. Play
this is a complete necessary. Evil they are doing what
they're doing because of the failures of The bengals over

(01:21:06):
the each of the last three years to be in
a position to hit the ground running In week. One
but this is not gonna be. Fun like we've joked
for months, about you, know you're gonna watch, it and
you're gonna have your hands over your eyes and you're
gonna be like peering through your, fingers and we're all

(01:21:29):
gonna be doing the same. THING i do not know
how if you care at all about the fortunes of
this franchise you're watching On, thursday or of course listening
ON espn fifteen thirty with any amount of. Excitement this
is something you have to. Do it's not something you

(01:21:50):
want to. DO i think you could argue this is
something you have to do this year and then you
want to rethink it next. Year BUT i mean that
is the, storyline Right that is that is the. Storyline,
look there's lots of rookies who are going to get
their first taste of THE. Nfl you would like to

(01:22:11):
Watch Al golden's defense start to show the the the
early stages of putting a defense on the field when
the games. Matter that is markedly better than last. Year
all eyes on players who have something to. Prove Jermaine
burton's going to get a chance to make a. Play
might be on special, teams could be on. OFFENSE i

(01:22:33):
think he's going to be given a chance to make
a play and more, importantly Earn Joe burrows trust a
little bit, more and along with, that earned the coaching
staff trust a little bit. MORE i think it would
be awesome If Shamar stewart can take what has BEEN
i think a really interesting and encouraging first week plus
as AN nfl player and and and show it on
the field against another. Team this is an enormous season

(01:22:57):
For Miles. Murphy this is a big season four or
a guy they took in the first round two years
ago who has done next to nothing in THE. Nfl
having success in the game that doesn't count certainly doesn't
guarantee that when the games do, matter these players are
going to. Contribute but, still how does The bengals pass
rush improve significantly Without Shamar stewart And Miles murphy consistently

(01:23:18):
getting after the? Quarterback so there's lots of stuff. There
if you're really interested in lower on the roster, battles then,
man knock yourself out as this game. Unfolds but there's
one storyline to this. Game there's, two, actually both are
intertwined with each. Other one is how do they use
this game On thursday and the preseason as a whole

(01:23:40):
to have a team that is better prepared to play
the first game that counts against The browns a month From.
Thursday like that storyline number, one, Right it's why we've
talked for months about the need to play the starters
in the. Preseason how does what they do On thursday
and then again Against washington and then maybe Again indian

(01:24:00):
that last preseason. Game but how do they Use thursday
to best put themselves in a position to play better
In week one than they have since twenty twenty? One
and along with, that, obviously does something happen in this
game On thursday that derails? Everything obviously your, quarterback and

(01:24:22):
we'll make it About Joe burrow for a, second but
there are other players you could apply this to as.
Well in any, game in any, play your quarterback is at,
risk especially when you have the offensive line history The bengals, have,
right every Time Joe burrow takes a, snaps he's incurring some.
Risk but it's something you, acknowledge and except when there

(01:24:44):
are actual, stakes it's something you have a hard time
reconciling yourself with when the stakes are non. Existent On,
thursday the stakes are non. Existent i'm not Sure i've
ever said anything THAT i feel like there's unif versaal
agreement more than. This thursday is not going to be.

(01:25:04):
Fun thursday is going to be anxiety. Filled thursday is
going to be just filled with. Nervousness thursday is going
to be filled with. Apprehension make whatever comparison you. Want
given you your kid the keys to the, Car dana
AND i have talked about like the first time you
ask your kid to carry a bowl full of cereal

(01:25:24):
and milk across the. Room whatever it, is it's, just,
oh do we have to do? This unfortunately for The,
bengals the answer is. Yes nineteen minutes after five, o'clock

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
Finished up their last practice Before thursday night's preseason opener
against The Philadelphia. Eagles we have enjoyed watching. Practice i'm
not at all going to enjoy watching On. Thursday this
is a necessary. Evil Joe burrow playing in the, preseason
which means more than at any, point the offensive line
is very much in clear. Focus we're going to be

(01:43:11):
watching them very very. Closely and that starts With Dylan.

Speaker 4 (01:43:14):
Fairchild you know that you like what you. See you
like the, physicalness you like the, footwork you like the.
Explosiveness can't be a guy you can rely on Starting
week one against The Cleveland browns and be confident If
Miles garrett And mason grahamon company are lining up over
top of. Them but for The bengals and what we've Seen.
Mo it doesn't just stop at the question. There the

(01:43:34):
question could then go to the other guard. Position Lucas,
Patrick Cody, Ford Jalen rivers is now going to get
some reps at. Guard you could talk About Orlando brown.
Junior you could talk about the uncertainty with A Marius
mems and what he's dealing. With And Ted. CARRIS i
don't know that there is one person right now you
can point to in the offensive line and, say, yep

(01:43:54):
that is an absolute surefire thing that we don't have
to worry. About it still feels like a group has
a lot to figure out between now and the start
of the regular.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
Season, yeah and you, Know Zach taylor talked, about, well
we're going to ramp up the starters in the. Preseason
they're going to play the first quarter ish On, thursday
and then on That monday night the eighteenth Against, washington
maybe play an entire. Half and that's all well and.
Good but IF i watch an offensive line that's a
disaster On, Thursday i'm rethinking that, plan, right you have.

Speaker 4 (01:44:22):
To and the thing is we talked about, today what
is the? Plan what is the plan of? Things do
not go according to? Plan On, thursday because we've kind
of just pushed this ball back each week of training. Camp,
okay it's, early there's a lot to still figure. Out
give them some, time they'll be, okay and then it's. Okay,
well if it's like this in a, week then we

(01:44:43):
need to. Revisit if we're next week talking about the
same thing with the offensive, LINE i don't know how
you can't start to push for a PLAN b because
it's not rocket. Science everyone can figure it. Out If
Jill burrow is not, upright this team can not reach
That Super bowl in which they're trying to get. To it's,
simple and yet at some point it feels like it's

(01:45:05):
been complicated because we're still having questions about the offensive.
