00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.640
And James, let's start with some
injury notes. Since the last time

22
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.200
we talked, it was confirmed the
DJ Reader has the torn quad tendon.

23
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.799
He will not be turning this year. DJ Ivy has the ACL injury.

24
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.000
Really unfortunate for those guys. Hate
to see it for both of those guys.

25
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:09.919
Obviously, DJ Reader, we talked
about the contract year, all the

26
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.360
things that go with that. Ivy
seventh round pick coming into his own.

27
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.560
But Jamar Chase has a chance to
play this week after what was described as

28
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.479
an AC joint injury. And so
a few different big injuries to talk about

29
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:32.400
there, yeah, none bigger than
DJ Readers. It's awful and it's it's

30
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.120
hard to see the path to them
figuring out how to replace him, and

31
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.080
I've been kind of racking on Brian
my mind around different ideas. You mentioned

32
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.759
tr Tart the other day. Who
knows, As we record this, we'd

33
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.759
all know what's going to happen with
him. Will he get claimed, will

34
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.919
he not? Will he become a
free agent? I don't know, But

35
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.879
I think the answer is that you
can't replace him, and that you're gonna

36
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:01.520
have a bunch of guys that are
going to try to make up for it,

37
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.680
and Luien Arumo is gonna have to
find the right mix, the right

38
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.719
cocktail to figure that out. Because
if I'm the Steelers today, guess what

39
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:16.879
I'm attacking the middle of that defense
and it's up to Zach Carter and Sam

40
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.960
Hubbard. Maybe move Sam inside a
little bit more, even though they haven't,

41
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.000
especially with Miles coming on, but
maybe that's maybe this is the perfect

42
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.840
time to do that. Miles Murphy's
coming on, some move Sam inside some

43
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.520
that. I mean, that's that
seems like the best option to me,

44
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.960
But who knows, because he's still
not going to be DJ Reader and you're

45
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.159
not gonna be able to do it
as much as you would have Reader on

46
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.240
the field anyway. So I think
it'll be a mixture of things that could

47
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.960
could include potentially an outside edition,
could include internal guys, practice squad guys.

48
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.960
I know Dominique Davis is a fan
favorite from the preseason, but there's

49
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.560
no making up for the loss of
DJ Reader and it just sucks. And

50
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.520
even if Sam Hubbard is playing more
inside, like you said, I mean,

51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.439
that's totally different positions and a difference
of at least sixty pounds if not

52
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.360
more between those two guys. I
mean, Sam Hubbard great edge run defender,

53
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.000
but that's pretty different from taking on
a garden a center or a gardener

54
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.920
tackle on a double team and splitting
a double team or anchoring against a double

55
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:25.560
team, and you know, different
stuff we're talking about for those two positions.

56
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.240
To your point, though, just
as a matter of curiosity, Sam

57
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:38.439
Hubbard is played and this is a
generous count a position that isn't outside the

58
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:46.600
right tackle of the opposing offense twenty
times this year out of six hundred snaps.

59
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.439
So for all we've talked about,
getting Miles Murphy on the field more,

60
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.240
Sam hobb moving inside, more,
all this stuff, they don't do

61
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.399
it. Sam Hobbard continues to play
the left defensive end position, and they

62
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.920
continue to try different guys with BJ
Hill in those third down packages. Last

63
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.000
week it was Cam Sample and maybe
Miles Murphy should be on the field more

64
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:11.800
because he has been the team's second
best pass rusher in terms of actually creating.

65
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.759
DJ Reader while he was playing was
a great pocket pusher and they're going

66
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.120
to have to replace that too,
And maybe BJ Hill continues to step up

67
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.040
and what has been a late season
surge there. But what is more concerning

68
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:26.160
than those aspects of pass rushing aspect
is definitely how they're going to deal with

69
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.360
the run game. The splits with
DJ Reader on and off the field over

70
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.319
the last few years have been stark. The Bengals run defense, even with

71
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.680
DJ Reader has struggled this year without
him. It's hard to imagine it getting

72
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.319
better without throwing more resources at it, which makes you more vulnerable in other

73
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.920
ways, which we saw last week
with like the play action dump off to

74
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.199
the running back in the flat where
the Bengals have to sell out on the

75
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.959
run and then they get an explosive
play on a little play action flat.

76
00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:00.639
So something has to improve there or
something will give without DJ. But we'll

77
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.360
see what happens, right this is
going to be more playing time for Zach

78
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.160
Carter. Probably means J two fell
at least in the short term, is

79
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.439
active, and maybe Dominique Davis as
well, Right, and those guys will

80
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.079
have to play better, and we've
seen them playing better. They're part of

81
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.839
a group that has stepped up a
little bit in the Jake Grounding era in

82
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:24.399
particular. But losing DJ Reader obviously
hard to understate or overstate, hard to

83
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:29.839
overstate the impact of that loss for
this team and is something they'll have to

84
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.000
overcome down the stretch in addition to
potentially Jamar Chase injuries. So if you're

85
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:39.720
talking about Jamar missing time and DJ
missing time, you've already lost Joe Burrow

86
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:45.079
for the season. How much can
this team take and overcome when you're talking

87
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.680
about three of their best best players
that make the team go potentially missing time

88
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:58.160
down the stretch, Jamar is it's
hard to figure out a path to them

89
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.639
being able to overcome this without Jamar. Now, maybe it's just one game

90
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.839
and then say you can make that
case, but I mean over the next

91
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.519
three weeks, because we'll go over
it in the playoff scenarios. Yeah,

92
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.560
they won this week and they're in
if it ended today, but there the

93
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.279
road is not over. They need
to win and keep winning. And having

94
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:18.920
Jamar out there, we know what
he does, the impact he has,

95
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.160
and so hopefully he can give it
a go. Even if he's seventy percent,

96
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.000
hopefully he can give it a go. It's that time of year,

97
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.319
as unfortunate as it is to play
injured or play hurt. If he can

98
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.720
do it, they need him,
and they need him because they're already shorthanded

99
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.920
and you can only do so much
when you're You're a team that's relying on

100
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.560
these guys to make plays. And
T. Higgins came up big, and

101
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.360
I have no doubt that he can
continue to come up big. But it's

102
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.160
not just that. It's the ripple
effect that not having Jamar has. So

103
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:58.399
now t is double team and it's
Trenton Irwin one on one on a guy

104
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.720
to have it play instead of Tyler
Boyd or instead of T. Higgins,

105
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.560
and that makes it tough. So
hopefully Jamar can be out there. We'll

106
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.560
see. We won't know more until
the Bengals practice on Tuesday afternoon and that

107
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.920
practice report comes out. But having
Jamar, I'm not saying it's a must

108
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.959
because I've seen this team overcome.
I do think it's a must for them

109
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.240
to make the playoffs over the next
three weeks. I don't think you can

110
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.639
go three games without Jamar, and
I don't think it's going to be that

111
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.600
Zach Taylor said it was day to
day, but I don't think you can

112
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.560
overcome it. So how much is
too much? I think that is too

113
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.799
much over three games. If it's
one who knows, maybe they could go

114
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.919
to Pittsburgh and win with the weird
quarterback saga that will get to coming up

115
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.399
in a bit that's going on right
now in the Steel City. Yeah,

116
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.799
it's the compound effect of Burrow reader
Chase. I mean, the defensive side

117
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.440
of the ball is still going to
have to be a team effort, but

118
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.399
also Cam Taylor, Britt and another
guy that we haven't mentioned gonna miss at

119
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.080
least another week before he's eligible to
return for week seventeen, which is the

120
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.200
earliest he can return, and if
he's ready to go at that point,

121
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.279
yeah, they're gonna have to have
guys step up, and we'll see about

122
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.639
Jamar. There is a chance that
he plays this week. It wasn't the

123
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.399
worst news that it could have been. And when Zach says somebody is day

124
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.519
to day, that that is notably
different from when Zach says somebody is weak

125
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.200
to week, and that means they're
not going to be back imminently. But

126
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.399
with mar Chase, I think there's
a chance. You mentioned, by the

127
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.480
way, Trent Irwin instead of Jamar
Chase. It is worth pointing out that

128
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.080
andre Yosavash did out snap Trent Irwin
last week by eight So eighteen to ten

129
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.559
point still stands. Ye, yeah, I know you, I know,

130
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.919
you know, but like it's still
the ripple effect. Even though I like

131
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.679
I like Yoshi and I think he
can make plays. It's just a lot

132
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.919
to ask. That's all. Incidentally, just while I'm looking at this,

133
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.000
and then we'll move on. Charlie
Jones. Also, he had three charge

134
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.039
last week. He got two of
them. One of them could have been

135
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.559
a touchdown. We've talked about that
play. He had four snaps on offense

136
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.240
and he had three targets, all
three of the passing place he was on

137
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.360
the field for he was targeted.
How about that for volume per snap?

138
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:22.759
Sure? Charlie Jones coming up next. The playoff picture is currently Rosie for

139
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.080
the Cincinnati Bengals, but when you
look forward it does. As you mentioned,

140
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.399
James get murky. This team needs
to continue to win. We'll talk

141
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:37.639
about that playoff picture coming up next. Today's episode is sponsored by game Time.

142
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.480

144
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.960
should be easy. It should be
fast. You should be stress free,

145
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.240
you should know exactly what you're getting. You should have peace of mind.

permanent jewelry. There really isn't anyone
like them in the area. And the

168
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.279
cherry on top is the fact that
Matt Schultz is a die hard Bengals fan

years. Go there today. They

173
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.919
We know the Bengals drive for perfection. Shultz Stroulers does too, because

174
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.600
when it has to be perfect,
it has to be Shultz Stroulers. Let's

175
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.840
talk playoff scenarios. James and Bengals
have done their job the last three weeks

176
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.679
to stay squarely in this conversation.
Three weeks ago, when the Bengals on

177
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.679
of their first game with Jake Browning, I asked a question on this podcast,

178
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.639
should we be talking about the playoffs? And we said at the time

179
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.399
maybe if they win a couple more
games, and they have won a couple

180
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.279
more games, we can really dig
into it. And as of today,

181
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.679
regardless of what happens in an NFC
matchup on Monday Night Football, the Cincinnati

182
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.879
Bengals are the sixth seed in the
AFC. A lot can change. A

183
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.399
lot can change when you look at
the schedules of the teams that are competing

184
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.440
with the rest of the way a
lot can and it stinks because a lot

185
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.039
of things didn't go their way,
and it looked like they were going to

186
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:45.000
the bear stink justin fields. How
about your make a play and they they

187
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.879
blow that game. Sure it shouldn't
come down to that, but yeah,

188
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.200
Darnell Mooney, Jake Lisko would have
caught that one. Darnell, what are

189
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.039
you doing so? I mean,
you're literally laying on your back like our

190
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.320
listeners. Catch that ball. It's
the easiest catch ever. Anyways, Instead

191
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.320
he kicked it. Soccer player kicked
it into the air and it was intercepted.

192
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.600
Anyways, it seemed like any game
that was going to go against what

193
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.960
the Bengals needed did outside of the
Ravens, I guess ending the Bengals AFC

194
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.440
North chances. They weren't winning the
division anyway, so who cares? But

195
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.120
sort of helping you want the Jags
to slide back and not win that AFC

196
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.919
South. That would help if the
Texans could emerge in the South. But

197
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.600
it's a tight race and the easiest
thing. And I get why Zach Taylor

198
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.039
is saying this because if I was
in that locker room, I wouldn't really

199
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.440
be looking at the scenarios. I'd
be saying, all right, we just

200
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.000
got to win, because if you
don't win, someone's going to pass you.

201
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.759
It's guaranteed. And so you just
got to find a way to keep

202
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.320
winning. And they've done that over
the past three weeks to their credit,

203
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.440
and it has to continue on Saturday. Yeah, the muddled middle of the

204
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:58.720
AFC right now, of so many
teams in such similar situations. I was

205
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.639
looking at this last night, and
the path I'm not saying this is likely

206
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.039
per se, but it is certainly
possible. The path to five plus teams

207
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:16.120
in the AFC being ten and seven
is wide open. Buffalo needs two wins

208
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.200
out of their last three they finished
ten and seven. Cleveland just needs one

209
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.240
win out of their last three to
get to ten and seven. Houston two

210
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.120
wins get seed to ten and seven. Indy needs two wins to get to

211
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.000
ten and seven. Denver needs to
win all three to get to ten and

212
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.360
seven. Cincinnati, of course,
needs two wins to get to ten and

213
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.080
seven as well. You could see
five plus teams at ten and seven.

214
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.559
Not saying it's likely to happen,
but you could see it. It's well

215
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.200
within the realm of possibility that this
could happen. Of course, likely some

216
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.159
of these teams win more or less
games than exactly the amount of games they

217
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.200
need to get to ten and seven. But if that were to happen,

218
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.799
the tiebreakers are not good for the
Bengals because all these head to head tiebreakers

219
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.960
that you would think would be good
for them with these teams in the playoff

220
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:10.840
race, really talking about Indie and
Jacksonville wouldn't matter. It'll come down to

221
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.240
conference record or it'll come down to
division record. And with these teams,

222
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.120
if the Bengals aren't a tie with
them at ten and seven, they almost

223
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.720
certainly lose those tiebreakers. So to
your point talking about what Zach Taylor said

224
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:30.240
about not looking at the scenarios,
One, they're incredibly complicated with three weeks

225
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.639
to play and the amount of things
that can happen in three weeks, be

226
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.840
it injuries, upsets, whatever it
is that totally change our perception of the

227
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:44.480
Bengals road hypothetical road to the playoffs
or potential road to the playoffs. One.

228
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.279
A lot can change too. It's
unpredictable. Three, Like you said,

229
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.720
if they just win, that's the
simplest way from a math perspective,

230
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.279
From a playoff scenario perspective, it's
also the hardest way because they have to

231
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.759
win all their games. Simple,
not always easy, but from a perspect

232
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.680
from a scenario perspective, yeah,
the easiest way to sort it all out

233
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:15.480
is just go win. And who
I really don't remember a playoff race like

234
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.680
this one where there were so many
teams in the mix. I mean,

235
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.799
we're twenty four hours are moved from
Aaron Rodgers saying he could still play,

236
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.200
which is the first off, the
dumbest thing ever because the Jets were never

237
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:32.480
making the playoffs and I'm glad that's
over. But it's just crazy that there

238
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.960
are so many teams in the mix. I think I will say this,

239
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.920
there aren't many teams that make the
playoffs despite being one and five in the

240
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.519
division. And if the Bengals win
the next two, they could realistically get

241
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.200
in with ten wins, which I've
said ten wins is your goal, but

242
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.960
that's still weird to me. And
yet there's an actual chance where that is

243
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.400
the case, where that Cleveland game
could not matter. Maybe you drop Pittsburgh

244
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.440
and then you win the next two
and you get into the playoffs with a

245
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.920
one in five record in the ANFC
North. It's it's just really weird,

246
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.440
and I think that kind of tells
the story as much as anything. Ideally,

247
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.759
you would obviously be two and four
in the AFC North. Handle business

248
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:17.200
against the Browns, handle business against
the Steelers and give yourself a chance to

249
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.359
beat up Taylor Swift Kansas City Chiefs
on New Year's Eve. But even if

250
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.319
they are too and four in the
division, if division tiebreakers come up,

251
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:30.039
they lose all of them. So
you need the wins, but sure then

252
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.720
to the tie breakers, and then
two and four is if it comes up

253
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.960
not good enough. If you beat
the Steelers, they're done, eliminated,

254
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.720
and they're eliminated, really no doubt
in their heads. They're thinking, let's

255
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.119
win out, maybe we have a
shot, But you beat them on Saturday,

256
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.200
you end it. And that's why
I think this game is going to

257
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.640
be really tough. The Steelers have
their backs against the wall and it's it's

258
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.000
it or nothing, and we're going
to go over in a second. They're

259
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.680
shorthanded like the Bengals, They're going
to be dealing with some injuries that are

260
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.039
important, and I think that also
is another reason why it would be really

261
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.359
nice to have Jamar Chase on the
field on Sunday, Jacob or Saturday Saturday.

262
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.640
These Saturday games are making me angry
on Saturday, the last one.

263
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.880
It's just natural to say Sunday.
I don't mind games being on Saturday,

264
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.599
but uh, it's weird. It's
weird. I kind of mind, just

265
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.599
like a little bit, it's weird
football should be on Sunday. We don't

266
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.119
need to get into that too much
here. The head to head tiebreakers,

267
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.400
by the way I mentioned, they
don't necessarily matter. They could come up,

268
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.480
and so the fact that the Bengals
did beat the Colts, the Bills,

269
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.240
the Jaguars, if it does come
down to head to head tiebreakers,

270
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.400
that's great. And like you said, James, you want to avoid the

271
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:47.000
head to head tiebreaker with the Texans. So there are scenarios where those games

272
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.440
couldn't matter. So I don't want
people to think that those head to head

273
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.400
tiebreakers don't matter at all. For
example, right now, the reason the

274
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.119
Bengals are the sixth seed in a
conference with five teams at eight and six.

275
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.640
Jacksonville currently leading their division, the
AFC South, with two other teams

276
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:07.359
in the AFC South at eight and
six is because as of today, having

277
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.759
the head to head tiebreakers over Buffalo
and Indy put them at six instead of

278
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.920
out of the playoffs. Because they
do matter in the scenario that is occurring

279
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.920
in this filment today, but they
don't necessarily matter at the end of the

280
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:26.400
season depending on how things go,
which is perhaps why talking about the specific

281
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:33.960
scenarios is a little premature. The
Steelers have announced a quarterback change. We

282
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.400
will talk about that and what that
could mean for this game to finish the

283
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:44.039

previous Saturday game before this Saturday game coming

298
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.319
up. So if you're wondering why
we're not talking more about what the Bengals

299
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.880
did after Djvead left the game on
the interior defensive line, or how they

300
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.799
adapted when Jamar Chase left the game
and they still manage to get that when

301
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.400
we'll cover some of those topics in
addition to how this was different and how

302
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:07.680
maybe some of the previous declarations or
distinctions between the Browning offense and the Borough

303
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.039
offense have been a little overstated.
We'll have time to get to that this

304
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:17.920
week, but today some drama in
Pittsburgh and some of this is about the

305
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.119
quarterback position, but there's even more
since we started recording this episode that we'll

306
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.880
talk I got you as well.
But where we're going to start is Mason

307
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.440
Rudolph will start at quarterback for the
Pittsburgh Steelers if Kenny Pickett is not available.

308
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.440
But Mike Tomlin did leave the door
open for Kenny Pickett this week.

309
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.319
It seems like a long shot today, we'll see. Obviously, a lot

310
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:44.400
can change between now and Saturday.
The previous reporting was that they were hopeful

311
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.440
to get him back for Seattle and
that would be next week, but Tomlin

312
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.599
did say that he would categorize Pickett
as questionable this week. The bigger note

313
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:57.079
is that they are done with the
Mitchell Trubisky experience and are going back to

314
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:03.599
the Mason Rudolph experience, which does
doesn't seem to offer much greener pastures.

315
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.319
But that's where the Steelers are right
now. Quick story. Once upon a

316
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.119
time, a general manager named Sashi
Brown, who was no longer in the

317
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.160
NFL, wanted the draft Mitch Trubisky
to the Cleveland Browns number one over onstead

318
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.559
of Miles Garrett. I wish he
would have done it. Yeah, it's

319
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.279
gonna be Mason Rudolph. And if
it isn't Kenny Pickett, which is weird.

320
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.839
The whole thing's weird. If I
was Mike Tomlin, I would have

321
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.599
left it wide open and just said
that Pickett was questionable. Instead he says,

322
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.799
oh, no, Mason's the starter
and then Picket's questionable, and that's

323
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.400
literally how it went in his news
conference. So we'll see the other injuries

324
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.200
of note, and this is why
it would be mighty mighty nice to have

325
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:47.720
that man. Jamar Chase with t
Higgins is Miga. Fitzpatrick is out for

326
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.359
Saturday's game, will not play.
That's huge. And Demante Kazi CAZy,

327
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:59.480
I think it's CAZy was suspended as
well for without pay for the rest of

328
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.559
the season following a hit that he
had in the Colts game against Michael Pittman

329
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.359
Junior. So that just came out
a few minutes ago as we recorded this

330
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.680
on Monday afternoon. That's a big
deal. I think not having those two

331
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.759
guys because their backs are against the
wall. And I think that's why pick

332
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.400
it is questionable because if they lose
this game, it's over. If he

333
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.319
can give it a go, why
not get your best option out there on

334
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.880
the field, which he clearly is
their best option. At QB and Mason

335
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.960
Rudolph isn't good, but it's Rudolph
time, baby, Come on, Rudolph.

336
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.160
He's two and oh against the Bengals. I looked at that. We've

337
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.960
seen the Bengals have issues a backup
quarterbacks, but they've won two in a

338
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.680
row against backup quarterbacks that are now
starting for their respective teams. He's also

339
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.680
two and zero against the twenty nineteen
team. That's where he got his two

340
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.640
wins. His second win against the
Bengals, it was sixteen to ten,

341
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.519
by the way, ugly game in
twenty nineteen. He was eight of sixteen

342
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:59.359
in that game against that Bengals defense. Against that Bengals defense in twenty nineteen.

343
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.559
Yeah, the Bengals and Steelers playing
an ugly game in twenty nineteen,

344
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.680
though, like you couldn't beat up
on that defense, Mason. I mean,

345
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.640
well, and there's an opportunity against
this defense too, as we've seen

346
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.559
Nick Mullens just beat up on this
defense. Given there is a Justin Jefferson

347
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.720
on that offense and a much better
offensive line on that offense, and Nick

348
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.119
Mullens is probably honestly a better option
than Mason Rudolph. But that doesn't mean

349
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:27.359
Mason Rudolph can't go out there and
make plays. We've seen it happen before.

350
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.559
We've seen the Mike White experience,
and we've seen what Jake Browning has

351
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:37.079
done, frankly, coming out of
nowhere to play pretty good football the last

352
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.279
three weeks and certainly good enough for
the Bengals to win. But without Demontekzi

353
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.720
or CAZy, I'm not sure how
that name is pronounced either. Make offense

354
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:51.799
Patrick. This defense for the Steelers
is Joey Porter junior in the secondary,

355
00:25:52.000 --> 00:26:00.960
a late career Patrick Peterson and some
backup safeties. There's certainly some vulnerabilities in

356
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.440
that secondary at that point. There's
a vulnerability at quarterback, even if Kenny

357
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.880
Pickett plays. Quite frankly, no
matter who plays quarterback for the Steelers is

358
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.640
vulnerability at quarterback. And you're talking
about a team that TJ. Watt,

359
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:18.599
Alex Heismith, Cam Hayward and friends. And that's what the Steelers are,

360
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.759
I mean the Steelers. Chris Carter
on Lockdown Steelers just been an episode talking

361
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:30.680
about has forward with and without Mike
Tomlin and potential head coach replacements, Like

362
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.880
that's where the Steelers are right now. When Mike Tomlin's in danger with a

363
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:38.519
bad team of going under five hundred, potentially for the first time ever.

364
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:44.480
And I mean there's a little bit
of concern about Mike tomlin voodoo magic at

365
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.319
this point the season, threatening to
not go over five hundred or at least

366
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:49.920
five hundred, threatening to have a
losing season for the first time in his

367
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.839
career, that it's about time for
that Mike Tomlin voodoo magic to kick in.

368
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:00.319
But these absences and changes on the
Steelers secondary and on the stea at

369
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.759
the Steelers quarterback position could certainly be
impactful here as we look at this game

370
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:10.880
early in the week. Yeah,
it could. And it's just a reminder.

371
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.519
You're right, it's such a week
to week league. I think the

372
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.160
Vikings element of this, let's just
use that as bad as the Steelers as

373
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.440
it feels for the Steelers right now. The Vikings had won three to nothing,

374
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.880
and they beat the Raiders three nothing, and then the Raiders came out

375
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.480
and did what on Thursday Night Football
the Bengals, it felt like it was

376
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.240
over after losing to the Steelers team
and since then they've won three games in

377
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.480
twelve days and they're right back in
the thick of the playoff race, So

378
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.039
I expect Saturday to be a heck
of a game. It's going to be

379
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.000
a tough one, and it's one
that I'm excited to track Jamar Chase's injury.

380
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:49.000
Hopefully he can bounce back and be
healthy enough to play and cover it

381
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.839
this week ahead of the game.
It should be a good one. Hopefully

382
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.880
Jake brown gives us one or two
more one liners. That you saw the

383
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.559
video right the Bengals released it.
That's the best video I've ever seen in

384
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.279
my life. Hyped, I mean
the best. The helmet toss, the

385
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:12.559
fact that the Bengals added the audio
behind it just for dramatic effect, just

386
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.480
staring into the camera. I love
it. And you better believe you're going

387
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.000
to see that plenty before their game
on Saturday. I'm sure the Bengals have

388
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.960
already sent the footage to NFL Films. And the confidence of Jake Browning has

389
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.200
showed up in these games against the
Vikings. It was late in the game,

390
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.000
it was after he played a pretty
bad two and a half quarters,

391
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.680
after he threw a really really bad
interception, and then he came out and

392
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:44.440
was on fire down the stretch,
making difficult plays down the field, still

393
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:45.759
had a lot of passes out behind
the line of scrimmage. It turned out.

394
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.759
I was surprised at the volume of
adder behind line of scrimmage passes for

395
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.359
Browning in that game, but was
way better throwing down the field. And

396
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.480
that confidence is something that he'll need
going against the Pittsburgh team that handled him

397
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.720
the last time these teams played,
and he'll need to play better. Hopefully

398
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.160
the experience the game has slowed down
for him a little bit. Hopefully after

399
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:11.519
four games of starting in the NFL
and having seen this defense before settling into

400
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.279
an offense that doesn't feature nearly as
much empty Hopefully these things can help this

401
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.200
time around. The last note that
I'll throw out there, you're talking about

402
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.640
it being a week to week league. One of the factors that I know

403
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.359
both of those games were at home
minute for Las Vegas going three zero,

404
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.039
then sixty three twenty one. But
the home road splits in the NFL this

405
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:37.519
year I was looking at earlier today
and they are dramatic for a number of

406
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:42.319
teams, notably the Cleveland Browns were
one of them. The Cleveland Browns at

407
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:48.960
home this year haven't lost and on
the road are two and four, and

408
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.799
that is one of the one of
the Bengals remaining games. Of course,

409
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.200
Vegas another one that is very interesting
and is related to the Bengals playoff push,

410
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.000
as it were five and three at
home versus one five on the road.

411
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:07.079
The most relevant game in that regard
for the Bengals is that that Week

412
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.920
eighteen game for Vegas is Denver in
Vegas, where Vegas plays much better.

413
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:18.319
Certainly not a team that has been
good this year, but a team that

414
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.640
has been much better at home.
So just some interesting things on the home

415
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.200
road splits. We'll see how that
plays out for the Bengals here down the

416
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.039
stretch as well, with two straight
road games Pittsburgh Kansas City before returning home

417
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.920
for the finale against the Cleveland team
that has been very bad on the road.

418
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.039
A lot of things in the air, from injuries, home road splits,

419
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.559
unpredictability of the week to week nature
of the NFL in the first place,

420
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:47.920
and the quarterback situation in Pittsford.
Should be an interesting week. Like

421
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.319
I said, tomorrow, we're going
to spend one more day on the Vikings

422
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.640
game and what film takeaways we have
to talk about. Both from individuals to

423
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:59.680
scheme, and then we'll get into
our first look at the Steelers contest with

424
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.599
Chris Carter before our game preview later
this week. So until them, thanks

435
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:59.519
talk about playoffs. That's right.
The Cincinnati Reds are talking about playoffs in

436
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.680
twenty twenty four, but they've got
to do some things to make that a

437
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.039
reality. What's up? This is
jeffcar from the Lockdown Reds Podcast, and

438
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:10.240
I would love for you to join
me and my co host, Steven Offenbaker

439
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.559
every day this offseason as we look
at the Cincinnati Reds, what they are

440
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.400
spending, what they are doing,
who they're training to make the team a

441
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.160
playoff team in twenty twenty four.
We've been looking at this year as the

442
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:27.160
year that the window opens, and
the way that they played in twenty twenty

443
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.559
three has led me to believe that
that is still the case. However,

444
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.119
things need to be done. We're
going to cover that on a daily basis,

445
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:38.200
all the rumors, all of the
