00:00Let's start there, Scotty, because I know that the Bengals are used to getting off to

00:06slow starts under Zach Taylor.

00:08In fact, after yesterday, they are now one and ten in the first two weeks of the season

00:14under Taylor.

00:15This is Taylor's sixth season as the head coach.

00:17They're one and ten under him in the first two weeks.

00:21But this feels a little worse because this Jamar Chase situation seems like it's going

00:26to be a major problem.

00:28He only had six targets yesterday, allegedly had food poisoning on Saturday, but he played

00:33in the game, told the reporters when they asked him about, you know, why did you get

00:37so few targets?

00:38He said, ask Zach.

00:39And then there was another question about the offensive philosophy.

00:42He said, ask Zach.

00:44So there seems to be some friction there.

00:46You have Higgins, who's also hurt, and not playing.

00:49Here is Zach Taylor on another disappointing loss for the Bengals to start the season.

00:53OK, disappointing start, obviously.

00:56Didn't start fast enough on offense with three straight three and outs.

01:00Lost the turnover battle, essentially three to nothing.

01:02One on offense, one on special teams, and one on the turnover and downs, and then didn't

01:07get any away off of them, and missed a lot of tackles today.

01:10I do 170 yards rushing.

01:11So no recipe in that style of game to be able to win.

01:15It's very clear.

01:16You lose a turnover battle like that week one, that's going to point you to a loss.

01:19So we've got to be accountable for that and make those corrections and get ourselves to

01:23get ready on the road next week.

01:25Listen, I don't have a problem, to be honest with you, with Chase calling out Zach, saying,

01:32ask Zach, because he's Chuck in charge.

01:35So I mean, this is the guy that blew the Super Bowl with his terrible play calling.

01:43Higgins caught two TDs in that game, and then he won't throw to him on third and one and

01:46fourth and one.

01:47Meanwhile, nobody else had made a play the entire game, and you don't give him the ball.

01:51That was the first time I ever thought he was an idiot.

01:54And now it's painfully obvious that their best player, which is Jamar Chase, and don't

02:03tell me he's not, because this guy Burrows, he's missed games.

02:10He's missed a lot of games.

02:11So the guy Chase plays all the time, and he's the one scoring all the touchdowns and making

02:16all the plays.

02:17You don't throw to him?

02:18Why should he have to answer that question?

02:20Why don't they throw to me?

02:22Why don't I ask him?

02:23He's in charge.

02:24Ask him.

02:25I don't have a problem with that.

02:26Like, I'm not in charge of play calling here.

02:29I'm the best player.

02:30You don't throw me the ball.

02:32Ask the frickin' coach.

02:34Honestly, one in 10 in games one and two over the last few years, that's embarrassing.

02:40And they don't throw to this guy.

02:42Now, they're going to say they didn't throw to him because he wasn't in training camp

02:46because of the contract.

02:47Well, he still doesn't have a contract.

02:50He played in the game.

02:52Throw him the ball.

02:53Like, what is wrong with these people?

02:55Who else do they have on the team besides no one?

02:58Higgins was injured, and they have one guy that makes plays that you don't throw him

03:02the ball.

03:03You deserve to lose.
