00:00
Let's start there, Scotty, because I know that the Bengals are used to getting off to
00:06
slow starts under Zach Taylor.
00:08
In fact, after yesterday, they are now one and ten in the first two weeks of the season
00:14
under Taylor.
00:15
This is Taylor's sixth season as the head coach.
00:17
They're one and ten under him in the first two weeks.
00:21
But this feels a little worse because this Jamar Chase situation seems like it's going
00:26
to be a major problem.
00:28
He only had six targets yesterday, allegedly had food poisoning on Saturday, but he played
00:33
in the game, told the reporters when they asked him about, you know, why did you get
00:37
so few targets?
00:38
He said, ask Zach.
00:39
And then there was another question about the offensive philosophy.
00:42
He said, ask Zach.
00:44
So there seems to be some friction there.
00:46
You have Higgins, who's also hurt, and not playing.
00:49
Here is Zach Taylor on another disappointing loss for the Bengals to start the season.
00:53
OK, disappointing start, obviously.
00:56
Didn't start fast enough on offense with three straight three and outs.
01:00
Lost the turnover battle, essentially three to nothing.
01:02
One on offense, one on special teams, and one on the turnover and downs, and then didn't
01:07
get any away off of them, and missed a lot of tackles today.
01:10
I do 170 yards rushing.
01:11
So no recipe in that style of game to be able to win.
01:15
It's very clear.
01:16
You lose a turnover battle like that week one, that's going to point you to a loss.
01:19
So we've got to be accountable for that and make those corrections and get ourselves to
01:23
get ready on the road next week.
01:25
Listen, I don't have a problem, to be honest with you, with Chase calling out Zach, saying,
01:32
ask Zach, because he's Chuck in charge.
01:35
So I mean, this is the guy that blew the Super Bowl with his terrible play calling.
01:43
Higgins caught two TDs in that game, and then he won't throw to him on third and one and
01:46
fourth and one.
01:47
Meanwhile, nobody else had made a play the entire game, and you don't give him the ball.
01:51
That was the first time I ever thought he was an idiot.
01:54
And now it's painfully obvious that their best player, which is Jamar Chase, and don't
02:03
tell me he's not, because this guy Burrows, he's missed games.
02:10
He's missed a lot of games.
02:11
So the guy Chase plays all the time, and he's the one scoring all the touchdowns and making
02:16
all the plays.
02:17
You don't throw to him?
02:18
Why should he have to answer that question?
02:20
Why don't they throw to me?
02:22
Why don't I ask him?
02:23
He's in charge.
02:24
Ask him.
02:25
I don't have a problem with that.
02:26
Like, I'm not in charge of play calling here.
02:29
I'm the best player.
02:30
You don't throw me the ball.
02:32
Ask the frickin' coach.
02:34
Honestly, one in 10 in games one and two over the last few years, that's embarrassing.
02:40
And they don't throw to this guy.
02:42
Now, they're going to say they didn't throw to him because he wasn't in training camp
02:46
because of the contract.
02:47
Well, he still doesn't have a contract.
02:50
He played in the game.
02:52
Throw him the ball.
02:53
Like, what is wrong with these people?
02:55
Who else do they have on the team besides no one?
02:58
Higgins was injured, and they have one guy that makes plays that you don't throw him
03:02
the ball.
03:03
You deserve to lose.
