James Rapien (0:00)

You know, the NFL trade deadline is just six days away. Welcome into a special live edition of Cincinnati Bengals Talk. And when it comes to deadlines, Andrew Fox Miller, always a tad late, but better late than never here on CBT.

Andrew Fox Miller (0:14)

Oh, that's how you're going to toss to me? You're going to leave with that?

James Rapien (0:16)

Yeah, that's it, that's right there. Just a tad late, my friend.

Andrew Fox Miller (0:19)

A tad late. You're unbelievable.

You're unbelievable.

James Rapien (0:24)

Yeah, what up, JesseJG2556.

On a plane, Justin on a plane to Madrid, baby. Look at this. Joining us from a plane, Andrew's like, wait, how do you, how do you pipe in from the plane from Madrid? Set the scene. It's an airplane, Andrew. We don't need to see it. It's okay. You need to send you. You need to send me. Yeah. I'll send you. I just might not have might be might be a one way ticket there, a one way ticket on the way back. The return ticket says Jesse Bates, the third.

So we do have some breaking news in the AFC North. There's a new sheriff in town, new sheriff in town. Jacoby Rosette is your quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. Do you see this news?

Andrew Fox Miller (1:12)

I did not see this news.

James Rapien (1:14)

It just broke a few minutes ago, right before we went live. I'm looking here to see if we have actual compensation. But yeah, that's something I mentioned this.

Did I mention this yesterday with us? I know I mentioned it on our first story today.

Andrew Fox Miller (1:29)

You did not mention it with us.

James Rapien (1:31)

Yeah. But the deal is expected to be completed or won't be completed until this weekend. All right. What's up with the Cardinals doing deals?

And then it's like, hey, let's wait. I get it. Baltimore has a game tomorrow night where Jacksonville should kick their rear end.

Andrew Fox Miller (1:45)

But yeah, a guy that got benched for Gardner Minshew going to a team that has had he helps out before different starting quarterbacks in less than a month.

They had to get somebody they had to. So this doesn't as somebody that is rooting actively, of course, for the Bengals, it doesn't scare me at all. If anything, it's just like, OK, they've now. It's a very identifiable floor now, whereas before I didn't know that I could quite understand how low the floor could go until this move.

James Rapien (2:18)

That's fair. That's fair. Hey, Chicago Percent beat Joe Burrow, week one of 2024 I'll never forget it.

Gary Sheehan, shout out Gary. Enjoy Madrid.

Hude from Ireland. I love that, man.

Andrew Fox Miller (2:31)

I got a good Ireland one of these days.

James Rapien (2:33)

That's where I want to go. I want to go to Ireland too.

Andrew Fox Miller (2:36)

All right, let's go.

James Rapien (2:37)

Here's the problem.

Andrew Fox Miller (2:38)

OK.

James Rapien (2:40)

And shout out to all the Bengals fans going to Madrid. It's a heavy lift at this stage of life to go international for me, you, but definitely me, three littles, you two littles, but they're a little a little older than mine.

Andrew Fox Miller (2:52)

Right.

James Rapien (2:53)

If I'm doing that, am I basing it around working one day in really multiple days? And my logic, my logic has really been for the past seven-ish years in the Joe Burrow era. Like if this ever happened, like I don't want, like if I'm going to this awesome new place, I'm going to want to, like, it's going to irk me not to work if I'm there for work.

Andrew Fox Miller (3:17)

Sure.

James Rapien (3:17)

And that's a really tough, that's a tough thing. Like Zach talked about it. This is like the coaches are, they're dialed in their work and they'll figure it out later. Joe Burrow, their screen grabs of him. He's at a field today. The Bengals have taken, they took off today, off his relative, right? But he's still got throwing in today.

It's nine o'clock there in Madrid, but earlier today, he already threw, even though they landed in their times off and all those things. So I'm sure, like, all the players are juggling and doing what they need to do. But yeah, that to me, that would be the struggle this week for sure, is balancing the work and play element of it. And so, yeah.

Andrew Fox Miller (3:59)

Now, do you think so? Do we know when the Atlanta Falcons touched down in Madrid?
