Cincinnati Bengals Should Make Change at Safety for Week 12 vs New England Patriots

Transcript

00:00a topic that we've been talking about for months and months and months for you, people,

00:03months and months and months and months. What have we talked about? Well,

00:08what are they doing at safety? What have they done at safety? Did they do enough at safety?

00:12Did they, well, the answer is no, they didn't. And we know that now. And we were right. And they

00:17were wrong. And I'll say that we were right. And by we, I mean you, me, Andrew, Jake on locked on,

00:25like anywhere you look, anywhere you turn, any bar or restaurant you've been to, heck,

00:30you probably go to chubby shorts.com and guess what? That, that happened. I know our, our local

00:34sponsors, Christian Husky, you could probably go to sipsy klein.com slash see Husky right now.

00:40And it may say, why didn't they address safety this off season? Right. Our guys at win, win

00:46athletics, it might say, you want the best flag football gear. I'm not sure Gino stone could

00:52pull this flag. Like they've been so bad that, and shout out to our local sponsors, by the way,

00:59that was certainly unplanned, but well-deserved. Like it's been so bad at safety. And that's the

01:07part of this that is so frustrating for me. I think it's frustrating for you is because of all

01:12of the missed tackles. And Gino stone is, is the biggest defender of these. And Jay Morrison had

01:18these stats and we had them for our subscribers on, on Tuesday, but Gino stone 16 missed tackles

01:24this year, a 19.5% missed tackle percentage, 19.5%. He misses one of five tackles. And that doesn't

01:31include Darnell Washington running through him for a first down, but Gino stone still makes the tackle

01:35just six yards late. That doesn't include the tackles that he just fails on, but 20% of the time

01:42that is unbelievable. Jordan battle, not far behind 16 missed tackles on the year, 17.6%

01:49miss tackle rate. Look, I'm not saying the safety play needs to be perfect, but I was skeptical of

01:58bringing back Gino stone. I can't believe they brought back Gino stone without any other backup

02:04plan that they believed in enough. And now, quite frankly, I don't care. Put Tyson Anderson in.

02:12I know Tyson Anderson can tackle. I've watched him make plays in the preseason. And I think that

02:18internally they're like, all right, well, he may be a better tackler than Gino stone. Zach said this

02:22the other day. So it's not even like I'm saying anything that he didn't say publicly. There's

02:26more to it than that, right? There's reading and covering and all those things. It can't be so much

02:33worse because it's not like Gino stone has six interceptions. It's not like he's been this game

02:38changing force on the back end. He just can't tackle. Like you could deal with that, but he

02:42hasn't been that. Guess what? I'm done. I'm out. I'm completely out. And I'm recording this before I

02:49go there Wednesday. Maybe Zach Taylor announces a change. I don't think he will, but they should

02:54make a change. Tyson Anderson should start this week at safety.
