Bengals Reportedly Near Jonathan Taylor Trade With Colts

We have some breaking news here. It's being reported that the Cincinnati Bengals and the Colts appear to be very close in a deal to get Jonathan Taylor. And that doesn't shock me. I think that makes some sense. That's the team I brought up last week here. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, no, it makes sense. Let's be honest here. Let's be honest. The Bengals back-to-back games in which they don't play the first. 15 minutes of the game, Craig may bury themselves, and they're playing catch-up the rest of the game, which has got to stop. Look, look, this is going to help them if it happens. Who's reporting this? Can you fill me in on just the report? Simon Charles, I believe, was the report that I saw. Applebaum? Okay, Simon Applebaum. So, yeah, I think the Bengals will be better. If it happens... Great. We're going in panic. Remember, we're going in panic mode again. If the Bengals... They are in negotiations with him. Make no mistake about it. Okay. If the Bengals were to get them, you immediately would fade them because this is not going to put Cincinnati over the top. They still can't play defense. What it does is it probably solidifies them as a solid playoff team with a chance to make a run. But it's not going to put them over the top in any way. The Bengals scored... 70 points last week. That's not their issue. They have Higgins. They have Chase. It doesn't matter. They're still going to score a ton. Taylor will help them. They have to be able to run the ball at some point. It's still the AFC North when it gets to be 12 degrees. Chase Brown is not getting it done. They had Mixon for all those years. They still didn't win anything. I don't know. I like John Taylor. He's going to stay healthy. That's true. That's true. I think he'll help. Oh, so what the hell? They can't be negotiating. Come on, Joe. The Broncos have 95 different running backs that they use now. They love Jonah Coleman more than anything. 5%? Ooh. Yeah. Couchy, Joe. I mean, they have to, and I mean have to be able to start running the ball. You can't have, Burrow has six touchdowns in that game. The last one, the winning one, he had to run in. No, you have to be able to have a running game if you're Cincinnati. Who's got a better running game? All right, so there we go. Ready? Middle of December. It's 12 degrees. It's snowing. You're going to take the Cincinnati running game over Pittsburgh. No, but I don't think it would matter if Taylor was there or not. I think Pittsburgh would still win a game like that. Really? Because of their defense. Yeah. I don't think they're in the same category. I think Chase Brown's a dud. Pittsburgh's really good. I agree. I agree with that. Agreed. I don't think he's a good running back at all. I think that's the problem here. Agree with you. Yes. Listen, if you gave me Jonathan Taylor, Higgins, Chase Burrell, that's a ridiculous offense. That's a ridiculous offense. I'm not scoring. But I'll say this. I don't know why it takes him forever to play. Uh, and we were able to get them at minus two and a half in game, Greg, when they were down 13 and nothing and hats off to Tennessee, we're coming out and punching them right in the face. So Tennessee and Miami are two teams may not win a lot here, Craig, but I'm not running their window to fade them at big numbers anytime soon either. Who does the, who do the Colts play this week, guys? Can you tell me that? Can you look up that real quick while we're talking here? Indianapolis. Look at what the Colts. Yeah. I want to ask you a question or a mess. Yeah, you don't want the pulse. Guys, that's what I said. Yeah, yeah. You said I was wrong. Yes, yes. Okay, anyway. Five and a half. Joe, is there... Six and a half right now. Okay, forget about the spread. Do you think... I don't know if Jonathan Taylor gets traded or not. Do you think they play him this week? Just play him on Sunday? Okay, how can we get ahead of that? Is there a way we can get ahead of this before Sunday? Because I agree with you.
