Speaker 1 (00:00):
Richard Skinner is with us as he is every.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Wednesday from Local twelve and Local twelve dot com. I'm
broadcasting across the street from Great American Ballpark, Skinny. The
last time I did that, I was on a different
radio station talking with you about how the Reds had
to win that series against the Mats, had to sweep it.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
They lost that night. We thought the season was over.
Boy were we wrong?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes we were. But here we are again with the
game behind the met and you're thinking, Okay, the Pirates
were in town, everything's rolling. They lose last night. I
was listening to these I'm driving after your Neck of
the Woods got high school actually and your old Neck
of the Woods, and I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You have to win tonight, have to. You can't lose ground.
You can't go two back, four to go.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The math then gets especially if Arizona also wins, the
math gets really really hard.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
There were ones that scared me the most of the moment.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, I trust the Cubs more than I do the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
The Dodgers are a mess. I mean, for all the
towels they have, their bullpen is an absolute train wreck.
There's no question about that. I will say this. I
am glad tonight that he puts south Stewart in the lineup. Yes,
you know what you can always do. You're allowed to
build a league with offense and then put a defensive
guy in. You know you're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It happens often late in defensive replacement, I think is
what it's.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Called defensive caddie. They call that person, and you know what,
that's Brian Hayes in a nutshell.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'm good with that exactly exactly what is what is
the most reasonable way to react to.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What you witnessed on Sunday in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That this team has issues. I think that's a fair
thing to look at if you're a fan, especially running
the ball and defensively they still have lapses. But I
don't think it means the season's over. You know, this
is a Vikings team that lost. This is how crazy
the NFL is most you know it. The Vikings lost
(02:00):
to Atlanta the game before twenty two to six. Lanterns
around and goes to Carolina, which we can argue is
one of the five worst teams in the NFL and
get shut out thirty to nothing. The Cleveland Browns are
a mess. Of a team. Green Bay is kind of
a sheet ship, cheap kick whether to win the Super
Bowl and they go there and lose thirteen to ten.
Weird things happened in this league. And when you turn
(02:20):
it over five times, and you've got a couple of
reliable guys who turned it over. Jamar Case never fumbled.
He fumbled five times I think in his career. Tama
jp Ryan got his sun broken. That's why he's fumbled.
So just weird. Things kind of escalated in snowballs. Now
the rore issues you can't run the ball. You still
as much as I like Jake nine, and the jury
still is very much out on Jake Crown. And again
(02:41):
go back to the defensive side of things. Is this
defense good enough to get stopped where he's just gonna
have to hopefully get a couple of takeaways? And guess
what they didn't get up in Minnesota? They got no jakeaway.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, no, you're you're exactly right how much?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Because the conversation instantly becomes, well, this is why they
need another quarterback. If Jake Browning wasn't awesome, nobody would
say he is. He is a backup. His floor is
lower than it would be for a starter, much less
a guy like Joe Burrow. When I think of that
game on Sunday, though, I don't think of of necessarily
completely in that quarterback play. How much of that do
(03:15):
you put on Sunday specifically on Jake.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Twenty percent? I mean he's culpable. He threw a picktick
for goodness sake, So he's culpable. But that first half, though,
and I think I've got this number right because I
put it in the story in my announces he's at
the game. I think there were third and five or
longer on all seven third downs in the first half,
and most of those are like thirty seven third and
eight thirty ten. I don't know any quarterbacks can live
(03:42):
in that territory on the road against that kind of
a defense, which is going to send a bunch of
guys at you in waves. And so I again the
throw that he threw on the pick stick. He even said,
I need to learn how to throw it away. I
need to just live for all right, man, live and learn.
I'm gonna let you do that. And it wasn't an
awful decison because there actually were two receivers break. Nope,
(04:02):
when the ball got tipped, but still he probably should
have sewn that one away. You get points there, you know,
you're driving down seventeen to three, and I don't know no
Ah Fans enough to know he's a fumbler or not
for the heck of a play by Isaiah Rodgers. You know,
you get points there at seventeen six or seventeen ten,
and you get the ball come out of the second half.
Who knows what that game goes instead of when snowball
snowball snowball and you look up, it's like, wait a minute,
(04:24):
they scored seventeen points in a minute forty seven seconds.
That that's happened in this league. But he did.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
How do you is there a scheme that exists for
a better running game behind an offensive line.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Filled with guys who aren't great round blockers.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's a great question because they've got to figure this out.
I mean, the Zach sounded like he was puzzled that
he shouldn't be you know, you know, you go, honestly, Zoodie,
this sounds instead of going with a heavy backage, and
they went with you know, Noah Fan and Cam Grandy
more than Mike Kasiki On Sunday, maybe the snapcount doesn't
show that all told because Noah got hurt. But that's
what basically it was was two tight ends, two wide
(05:01):
receivers for the most part. You know, I get you're
trying to put more big bodies in there. Maybe better
off just putting four wide receivers and spreading things out
and going you're gonna have to cover somebody man to man,
and you're gonna have to lighten the box. It's not
and run into a lighter box. Because when teams are
putting a bunch of dudes at the line of scrimmage
because you know you're you're you're beat it up with
two tight ends. I think that's probably a recipe for disaster.
(05:23):
I get why they do it. You know, Eric Hall
was so good last year in that role as a
second tight end, especially coming in motion and just a
physical guy. I still know Noah Fense and Cam Brandy
or that just and and again, you're putting a bunch
of dudes in the box where you're not getting much
moving off the line of scrimmage. Maybe you just go
back to saying, you know what, we are a past
first team. We're gonna run out of this, but we're
(05:43):
gonna spread you out. We're gonna put four wide receivers.
Maybe the sticky qualifies as a wide receiver, but he
spreads out. So you're spreading people out. I think that's
the only way, because I just I just don't keep
running in the crowded boxes. How you're going to move
people because they just don't.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Have you felt yourself getting smarter the closes, the closer
you've gotten. Scott High School, No, I fact, I'm feeling
like I'm driving into the gist right now.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
No, you know I watched coach Ka baseball Scot High School.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
High School.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All right, well, well then that's why we consider you
one of our own.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm sure if I walk
in there tonight, I'm gonna look and go, where's my
name up on the wall of fame? Here, I pa,
we'll find it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You'll you'll see yours next to mine. So, uh, I
totally understand. All right, Thank you as always?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You bet, Thank you, mum.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
