00:00Let's do a little real or fake. I say a statement, you let me know if it's real or fake.
00:04You can jump in on YouTube and Twitch and also on the base power text line 7135724610.
00:10Jump in. All right, real or fake, Tyler?
00:16Jeremiah Love is the best player in the 2026 draft. Real or fake?
00:22And I hate draft prospect grading in tears. Not hating on your question, I just hate doing it.
00:30Uh, sure.
00:34And then we'll find out whenever he puts on pads.
00:38From your eyes, Clint, when you look at this right now, real or fake,
00:42do you get the thought that Jeremiah Love is the best player in this draft?
00:46No.
00:46You don't. Most people believe, most people have said that.
00:49I like Jeremiah Love. I think he's a really, really, really good back.
00:55Best player, best player in the draft. I can't get there.
00:58I just, I, and I don't even, I don't even have a best player in the draft, but I, but
01:02I, I, I, I just can't, I can't.
01:04What is it about him that you, that you, that stops you from getting there?
01:08Well, I do not. For one, we talk about the Jameer Gibbs stuff.
01:11I've tried to get there because I really like Jameer Gibbs.
01:13I ain't anywhere close. Um, and I'm just comparing college film. Um, and I know I was higher on Jameer
01:21Gibbs and most folks coming out.
01:22I, I, I mean, I was going to battle for him against B. John Robinson. I was saying I'd take,
01:26I'd take him first.
01:27Um, that's how good I thought he was. Um, and, but it was based on what I had seen in
01:32college.
01:33Now I was gambling big time that it would transition to the league and same way, but it somehow has
01:37gotten better to be honest with you in the league.
01:40Great back. Very promising. Love what he brings to the table. Wouldn't love for him to be a Texan.
01:46I don't think he's anywhere near Jameer Gibbs. I don't even think it's remotely close.
01:50Jameer Gibbs makes NFL defensive backs and linebackers look like me running next to him.
01:56Like I, I, I don't, I don't see that with love. So I, I'm going to, I'm going to go,
02:00I'm going to go fake.
02:01I don't think he ends up being the best player in this 20, 26 year.
02:05I think it's close. Um, I think there's a, he is, he is one of, to me, the special players,
02:12right?
02:12Like you look at like Ashton Gentry went in the first round last year. I think he's so much better
02:17than him.
02:19Um, I think it's hard to look at certain players because of positions they play.
02:24You don't necessarily think of those positions and you say like best players, but everything you hear
02:32about the linebacker from Ohio state, Sonny styles is of anybody in the draft. And I think a lot of
02:39people look at Jeremiah love and put him in this conversation, but anybody in the draft,
02:43like that guy looks like he has the best chance of anybody in the draft in like five
02:50years, being the best player at his position.
02:53Agreed. There's, there's been a lot of, man, this is, this is like Fred Warner potentially
02:58coming, coming out and he, and he fits every single space, but it's just the position he
03:04plays. Not a lot of people, like not a lot of people, you know, talk about inside back or
03:10you don't see that that that's looked at. So, um, I think Sonny styles may have an argument,
03:15but I think love is, is, is right there. All right. Real or fake Clint, the Bengals are
03:20a legit Superbowl contending team. The way their team's been put together real or fake.
03:25Oh, I think it's real. I mean, look, you, you look at, look at the numbers they were putting
03:30up offensively last year in a, in a losing effort. I mean, the, the, the, the offense is just
03:35with, was losing scoring 30 plus points a game. Uh, if they, they, they are, they don't
03:40have to get too much better on defense to, to be a legit Superbowl contender. And I think
03:45they've made a hell of a, an attempt to get significantly better on defense. Number one,
03:50number two, um, you know, I, I just don't buy into what I'm hearing a lot of people talk
03:54about right now. Oh, well, none of it's going to matter if they don't get the offensive line
03:57better. Yeah. I disagree. Uh, that same offensive line that wasn't worth the damn that you're
04:01talking about. They were scoring 30 plus points a game in and losing games that way.
04:04So while it's important to protect him, I think he has the, the weapons and the ability
04:08to, to protect himself. A lot of the times, any, any improvement defensively, the Bengals
04:14are a problem. So yeah, I'm going to say real that they are a legit Superbowl contender.
04:18Tyler real or fake these moves, the Bengals have made added Dexter Lawrence added a lot of
04:23key moves to their defense for defensive starters from free agency or trades. They got real or fake.
04:30The Bengals are a legit Superbowl contending team. Oh, absolutely real for me. I mean,
04:35you got Joey Burrow under center playing quarterback. Anytime you got a quarterback like that slinging
04:39up for you, you got a chance, but get that defense moving in the right direction. Now you're really
04:43talking real. Yeah. I I'm with you, Joe, Joe Burrow. Um, in big, in big games, I think outside of
04:56my
04:57homes probably is the player that most people in the league would say, all right, if you're an opposing
05:03player, who is the guy you don't want to see in a big game? And I, and maybe it's lost
05:10his luster a
05:11little bit because it's been, it's kind of, man, it's, it's kind of been a minute since they have,
05:16they have gone to those back-to-back AFC championship games. And they went to that
05:20Superbowl. It's, it's kind of been a little bit three years, four years, three, maybe
05:25and they hadn't made, it hadn't made to the playoffs since. So there's a little bit, but I
05:29think still, I think people still look at that and like, boy, I, Hey, I don't want to see that
05:34dude
05:34and chase and, and Higgins and that crew. Uh, and if they get a little defense, that's something.
05:40So yeah, if they, if he's healthy and they've got any semblance of a defense, I definitely think
05:45they jumped right back into that, into that argument. All right, coming up.
