00:00
The Bengals are 1-7-1 score games, which is just insane to think about.
00:04
They are 0-2 against the AFC North when scoring 38 points.
00:10
Think about that.
00:11
They scored 38 against the Ravens.
00:13
Loss.
00:14
Score 38 against the Steelers.
00:16
Loss.
00:16
You're at home in both situations and you don't win either of those games.
00:21
Cannot happen.
00:22
And yet that's the reality that we're talking about today with the 4-8 Cincinnati Bengals.
00:27
And Joe Burrow said a lot of interesting things.
00:29
We posted the entire video right here on CBT.
00:32
But the good news is, is I have a couple of clips that stood out the most to me
00:37
and I think are pretty telling.
00:40
The first of which was when Joe was asked about the AFC North
00:45
and asked about needing to change things to be better in the division.
00:51
And he was pretty blunt that, yeah, things need to change.
00:54
I would say we need to change a lot of things this year.
00:58
We haven't been good enough.
01:00
We haven't been good enough to win games.
01:01
So it starts with your division.
01:04
You always want to win those and we haven't.
01:08
So we got to do a better job.
01:11
It goes without saying that the Bengals have to be better in the division.
01:14
It goes without saying that they have to be better in one score games.
01:17
But now that they're 4-8, what do they have to play for?
01:21
What do they have to keep them motivated?
01:26
Well, I thought that this was really interesting from Joe
01:30
because this is Joe sort of letting everyone know that,
01:34
hey, no one's been good enough and you might not be here next year.
01:39
There's been a couple of times where Joe's talked about,
01:41
well, you put the film out there for all of the GMs,
01:45
all of the teams across the league and you want to put out good tape
01:49
because you never know where you're going to end up.
01:52
And that's always his goal.
01:53
That's always his mindset as a player.
01:55
And so he wants the guys in the locker room to feel that and be that way too
01:59
and have that mentality.
02:00
But I thought that this was really, really interesting,
02:04
Joe Burrow, on what the next five weeks mean,
02:08
not only to him, but to all of the guys in the locker room
02:11
that are still on this roster.
02:13
Yeah, I think we'll learn a lot about who we have in the locker room,
02:17
the guys that we can count on going forward, the guys that we can't.
02:20
And I think the next six weeks, five weeks,
02:28
are going to say a lot about who we can count on and who we can't.
02:32
That's Joe Burrow letting everyone know in that locker room,
02:35
hey, you want to be here?
02:37
You want to be part of it?
02:38
You want to be part of the turnaround?
02:40
You better show it.
02:41
Letting everyone know what time it is.
02:44
That's what I take from those two comments.
02:46
The fact that he said,
02:48
we're going to find out who we can count on and who we can't is huge.
02:53
And last week, I did a video on, all right,
02:55
well, these are the young guys that need to step up.
02:59
It's that plus all of the veterans, the Geno Stones.
03:05
Hopefully Sheldon Rankins can get healthy,
03:06
and then we can include Sheldon Rankins in this.
03:09
But these guys that you're like, all right, well,
03:12
can we bank on you or can we not?
03:14
And I know everyone wants to cut all these guys,
03:16
but that's what you're evaluating now,
03:20
is all of these guys that you're either going to cut,
03:23
potentially release, draft the replacement,
03:26
sign the replacement in free agency.
03:28
All of those things start to happen.
03:30
And so if you're Joe Burrow, you know that,
03:32
and you better start laying that foundation now.
03:34
And so I thought that those comments were interesting.
03:37
This was not the angriest I've seen Joe after a loss,
03:41
the most distraught I've seen Joe after a loss by any stretch.
03:44
I think he kind of just knows.
03:46
He knows the situation, knows what this Bengals team is or isn't.
03:52
And man, oh man, the defense getting a lot of heat, rightfully so.
03:58
Tomorrow, I plan on discussing the future of certain coaches,
04:03
what changes should be made coaching staff-wise.
04:06
But I thought that this comment was just wild.
04:09
And it's really a clip.
04:10
And it was about a three-minute interview.
04:12
We posted the entire thing after the game
04:14
in our Bengals React video that we did.
04:16
But Jermaine Pratt was asked about missed tackles.
04:21
And there were obviously missed tackles.
04:23
It was in the double digits.
04:25
I'm recording this on Monday morning.
04:26
Luana Ramos set to talk to the writers at some point on Monday, I believe.
04:31
And so we'll know how many missed tackles the Bengals tallied.
04:34
I know Pro Football Focus had it at 14.
04:37
My buddy Jay Morrison had it at 16.
04:40
The point is they had a lot of missed tackles.
04:43
So when you're captain in Jermaine Pratt, you're a leader,
04:47
a guy that was on the Super Bowl team, a guy that was on the AFC Championship team,
04:50
a guy that has been around for the good and the bad, drafted in 2019.
04:55
For him to kind of be this clueless, this dismissive, this, eh, what missed tackles?
05:04
After you give up 520 yards to mostly checkdowns for Russell Wilson, it's unacceptable.
05:11
Here's what Jermaine Pratt had to say about missed tackles.
05:14
Missed tackles?
05:15
No.
05:17
Did you feel like there were a lot of missed tackles?
05:20
Not that much, I don't think.
05:22
I just think that it was just getting the ball out quick.
05:25
It's quick game and the screens.
05:27
Could it be a matter of not being in the right position?
05:29
I'm just saying like, it was just screen.
05:31
It was quick game.
05:32
They weren't really, they weren't doing too much.
05:34
Just getting the ball out quick.
05:35
Was it hard to swallow a loss when you give up more than 500 yards in total offense?
05:40
Oh, I said like, it was just screens.
05:43
And then if we went zero, he just threw like a quick, quick.
05:46
It was balls quick.
05:47
He wasn't that much.
05:48
Why was it difficult to defend those screens since they had so much success on it?
05:52
Why did they have so much success?
05:53
The ball was out quick.
05:54
That's all it was.
05:55
Quick, those.
05:56
Is that an adjustment that could have been made mid-game to change the way they were
05:59
having so much success?
06:00
I mean, doing quick.
06:02
Missed tackles?
06:03
What missed tackles?
06:04
I don't think there were many there.
06:05
I mean, I just, I think it's so funny.
06:10
It would be like, it would be like the Steelers dismissing Joe Burrows passing yards.
06:18
Like, passing yards?
06:19
What passing yards?
06:21
What quarterback?
06:22
Like, there were so many missed tackles.
06:24
There were so many guys in the wrong spot.
06:26
There were so many guys that were unable to wrap up and tackle the way they should.
06:31
George Pickens, I think, was a great guy.
06:34
George Pickens' 17-yard screen pass touchdown, where he essentially goes untouched and Cam
06:39
Taylor-Britt doesn't keep contain on the outside and Geno Stone whiffs.
06:43
It can't happen.
06:45
And yet it did.
06:46
Jermaine Pratt had missed tackles.
06:48
Akeem Davis-Gaither had missed tackles.
06:49
The secondary had missed tackles.
06:51
It just cannot happen.
06:52
And yet it did happen.
06:54
And that is a big reason why the Bengals are 1-7 in one-score games.
06:58
And that one is when they were up two scores and the Browns scored late.
07:03
So they stink in one-score games, is basically what we're saying, ladies and gentlemen.
07:07
And that is why they are 2-4 when scoring 33 points or more this year.
07:12
Un-ba-lie-va-ble.
07:15
And yet, it's true.
07:16
The Bengals are 4-8.
