00:00There will be no more Lamar Jackson, apparently.
00:03And I know that simply because we'll know tomorrow if he's on the field.
00:08But the market is telling us Lamar Jackson is not playing again this week.
00:13We saw the Bengals go from three to one and a half now, even one in some spots here.
00:21If it's Huntley, let's go if it's Huntley.
00:24Is it Joe Burrow all day?
00:26I think so.
00:27Yeah.
00:28Based on what I saw last week.
00:29It has to be.
00:30I'd probably go back to the points in this one.
00:32I'd be very surprised if kickoff didn't come and this game wasn't pick them.
00:36I mean, I mean, Joe Huntley had the first opening drive where he looked good and then looked exactly like
00:41Huntley has looked for the last 10 years.
00:42So the only issue is, you know, again, you know, Cincinnati's game plans just stop Derrick Henry and then you
00:48just destroy the game plan for for Baltimore.
00:51And that's what happened last week.
00:53And I thought Cleveland's defense played really well.
00:56Does Cincinnati have the wherewithal on defense to stop Baltimore and the running game?
01:01I'm not so sure.
01:02So, you know, it feels like a close game right down to the end.
01:06Very similar maybe to the week before.
01:07I don't see Cincinnati rolling over Baltimore, but I don't think you're going to see threes in this game.
01:15I think you're lucky to get two and a half right now.
01:18If you really wanted to take Cincinnati, you probably should do it.
01:22I'm thinking that's the way to go here.
01:25I mean, that's a big move here.
01:27And now a little birdie also told me today, Craig, I'm hearing that this looks very familiar to those that
01:35remember what happened a few years ago with Lamar Jackson.
01:38And it wanted an extension in his contract.
01:42Remember what he did?
01:43Yeah, he sat out.
01:45Somewhat ridiculous injuries and milked it and dragged it out.
01:50So I'm going to guess who's due for a contract coming up next year.
01:55Yeah.
01:56He didn't get his money.
01:57So maybe that's maybe, maybe, you know, maybe that's part of it.
02:01You hate to, you hate to think that, but more along the lines of he's not going to put himself
02:05in harm's way.
02:07Yeah.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Harbaugh is the problem.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:11And also a huge game for Cincinnati.
02:14Yeah.
02:14Look, and Cincinnati had the bye.
02:16So you would think that they're in better shape and they'll have Chase healthy, Higgins healthy, running back healthy.
02:21I still am not, you know, as high on Cincinnati.
02:23I never was as some others were at the beginning of the year, like saying this is the year for
02:27them to win 11, 12.
02:28It just never seems to be that year for the Bengals.
02:30But it's a starting quarterback of a high caliber and burrow.
02:36Versus one of the bottom 10 backups in the NFL.
02:39I mean, that, that is really the bottom line here.
02:42I hate to keep banging on Tyler Huntley, but it's true.
02:47He's not a backup in the NFL and not a great one.
02:50He's one that you recognize and you know, and you're familiar with, and we all feel very familiar with being
02:57comfortable.
02:57So we're comfortable because we know his name and we've seen him in it, but he's not good.
03:01He's never been good.
03:03Like, really?
03:04Like, what do you think about it?
03:05I mean, there's a reason the Ravens let him go and he went to the Dolphins and he wasn't good
03:09there.
03:09And then he came back.
03:11So he's had a great backup career, but it's, it's like, uh, you know, probably the same thing as it's
03:16like, would you rather have Tyler?
03:19Like, put it this way.
03:19If the Ravens had a choice this week, Joe, you had a choice and you had Case Keenum or Huntley,
03:24you'd take Keenum.
03:25You'd take Keenum.
03:25Like, it wouldn't even be close.
03:27You'd be like, oh yeah, give me Keen.
03:27And you'd probably think Baltimore would win.
03:29I don't think it would be close.
03:30I don't think it would be close.
03:32Right.
03:32I'm with you.
03:33I am absolutely with you.
03:35Listen, he had a great game, right?
03:37What was that?
03:37Atlanta?
03:38Then he ended up having that unbelievable come from behind.
03:42That's what a backup does.
03:43They do that once.
03:45And then the rest of the time, it's a mess.
03:47Right?
03:48I mean, that's what a good backup is.
03:49They get the video.
03:51Here's the tendencies.
03:51That's it.
