00:03 This is something that's gonna clearly require weeks,

00:06 if not months of healing and rest to get it right.

00:10 And that's not a good thing

00:11 for the Bengals going forward, Joe.

00:12 And now I'm selling.

00:13 Sell, sell, sell.

00:15 - I wouldn't sell.

00:16 I would take a- - Sell.

00:19 - The approach, but I'll say this,

00:21 you know, and again, it's a topic that you and I discussed

00:24 throughout the off season is that

00:26 if he wasn't 100% for week one,

00:29 what was the rush for the Cincinnati Bengals

00:31 to put him out there?

00:32 You lost both of those games with him in that lineup

00:36 and he wasn't 100% and now he is hobbled.

00:39 Wouldn't you would have liked to have him 100%

00:42 maybe missed the first two games

00:44 and you're still now staring at potentially 0-3,

00:47 but Joe Burrow maybe is 95 or 100% healthy.

00:52 That's on the organization to make that call.

00:55 They have to look big picture and say,

00:57 okay, what's the best benefit for the team

01:00 if Joe Burrow plays week one

01:02 or if we keep him out to week three or week four?

01:05 And that's where I think they fail

01:06 because they rushed him back.

01:08 Now this is a nagging injury throughout the regular season

01:11 and any hit, any time he runs or gets sacked,

01:15 you gotta hold your breath.

01:17 So I'm with you.

01:17 I'm not betting them from the long-term aspect.

01:20 You gotta bet them week to week.
