opportunity to half a second I don't sit on things jie they just come to me I just they just come to me I sit on winds yes let's go that's dangerous cooking is filterless Kyle Brandt uh good morning everybody let's start our conversation with the Cincinnati Bengals as we welcome in our Insider today Mike gapo Mike G good morning to you for the first time in our gmfb rendition in Los Angeles yes well it's great to see you we are literally Coast to Coast here as I'm coming to you from the Jersey Shore uh Jamie aidol so yeah we're doing it all the way great uh let's let's jump on the Bengal shall we because we can move past CD lamb now let's take our Focus to Jamar Chase and is there a potential for a new deal to get down to talk about there is a potential for a new deal the Bangals and Jamar Chase Jamie continue to have discussions regarding a contract extension now his situation a little bit different from the guy that he is chasing which is Justin Jefferson his former LSU buddy there and just Jefferson got that deal after his fourth year be something where it's pushed up until that break do you want to take the best possible number before you set foot on the field or do you want to play this out and maybe try to get an extension after the season at which point you could clear Jefferson by more than as my colleague rort said one cent Because he believes that that's the goal he wants one cent more than Jefferson so those negoti will continue and perhaps this is something we're going to be watching Jamie on that Saturday before week one to see if this is going to get done man my G when you consider this though that these two our buddies from LSU imagine these contracts get done and then next offseason they're just laughing in the south of Spain just like look at what we accomplished in the NFL the two highest paid wide receivers Mike thank you so much we'll talk to you in a little bit the Bengals though they need to lock up Talent like this because their division is brutal the question becomes do they have enough Firepower on offense to win in the AFC North considering the Ravens are there the Steelers lie dormant and the Browns well their defense is excellent man yeah it's it's such a a competitive division right you have the Ravens and you know according to our analyst yesterday the Ravens are are projected to be in the Super Bowl so you have that competition in that division um but when it comes to Joel bur Shawn Payton would always tell us when he was at the Saints as long as you have a quarterback you always have a chance M and you pair him up with Jamar Chase that's when you have those iconic Duos you hear of the Steve Young Jerry Rises the the Payton Manning the Marvin Harrison the Aaron Rogers Devonte Adams the Kelsey Mahomes you have those pairings and other it's like peanut butter jelly you don't you don't separate them and so I I really like their chances of being competitive in their division now with everybody else in that Vision it makes it a little bit more challenging um not only for the Bengals but everybody else besides the Baltimore Ravens okay yeah I I I think that there's another player on here a strong role player wide receiver T Higgins I mean I think he's a guy that compliments a guy like Chase um Jamar Chase very well but when you have Joe burrow just like what you were talking about Joe burrow is a dude man like I mean to me this is a non-question I mean of course they have enough Firepower now look they lost Joe Mixon like that to me is the one area I look at that I'm like you know are they going to have that dude in the back field because I think everybody knows that a strong Run game helps the passcape and the inverse is true a strong passing game helps the Run game so it'd be interesting to see how they you know kind of fill in that hole and that gap for uh missing a Joe Mixon but I'm very very confident in the five power in Jamar Chase and of course uh Joe burrow well listen I I think it's this what I like about this team guys it's just nice and quiet it's it's a little under the radar somehow there's not a lot of Hub up and not a lot of pump and Circumstance the two biggest stories over the last month for the Bengals in order are their quarterback's hair color and their star wide receivers contract deal in that order and it's very easy to forget because burrow got hurt last year this Bengals team won four out of their last six games with Jake Browning and they played the Chiefs very very close in week 17 they are much more than Joe burrow and Jamar Chase they are a good team and as far as weaponry and stuff I listen I know Mixon was gone he was productive I think it was time they have they have Zack Moss they have Chase Brown who we've always liked you're going to learn the name Andre yosias who is this crazy track star project from the ivy league who is now their wide receiver three they will have vertical ability they will compete they are much more than just Joe burrow and I it shakes out like they they are not some snake in the grass they will not be some Cinderella let's do a little closest to the pin right now guys I'm going to go around the horn and ask you in the preseason Super Bowl odds the respected odds that are out there okay if number one is the Chiefs and number 32 is the Panther where do you think the Bengals are from 1 to 32 just take a guess right now preseason Super Bowl odds to win the whole thing go ahead wow look well if you think about Joe burrow Joe burrow is what three and one versus uh the Kansas City Chiefs against Patrick Mahomes uh I'm going to put them right now I'm going to put them right dead in the middle I'm going put them 16 oh wow maybe 17 16 I was going to put him at Fourth I was going to put him at Fourth I think I think that the the question is Kyle can can we can Joe burrow stay healthy if Joe Bur can stay healthy they're a top five team in the NFL in my opinion so I'm kind of like Jamie as long as Joe Burrow's out on that field I I think they have a great chance that they're going to make the playoff um and what they've been doing with Jamar Chase lately as of last year Jamar Chase was always a z receiver he's the farthest outside receiver in a three in a 3X one formation but having him last year they started to move him around put him in the slot a little bit get those those matchup nightmares as long as Jamar chases back U Joe bur is back there throwing the I think they're in Great and the question is and we had a 16 y they're at seven guys seven is a great spot remember they're ahead of Bills Cowboys Jets Packers Dolphins Rams Browns like teams that we expect to do huge things this year it's strange because they're quiet and part of the reason they're quiet is because the Ravens are the Ravens the Steelers are constantly in the news there's other shiny objects in their division they have burrow they have a lot more than just burrow they won four out of six to end the season this is definitely a team that will match matter in the end I'm into him to play dav's Advocate just for a minute Joe burough is fantastic the Firepower question that is about the Personnel on the field one of the major changes though that they dealt with this off season was the loss of their offensive coordinator and Brian Callahan moving on to the Tennessee Titans so he has been there every year that Joe burough uh Callahan is hired in the offseason in 19 he has now become the head coach of the Tennesse Titans because of what he can do with quarterbacks I think Rand carthon with the Titans identified the fact that look at what Callahan did with burrow can he do the same with Will Levis so this is interesting to me because I think exactly what we saw last year when they had a backup quarterback come in and win games that has a lot to do with Callahan and the way he calls games and the way he prepares his quarterback so if something were to trip them up I'm curious if it is because they have an absent um headset in Brian Callahan and what he used to represent on the sideline now yesterday this was great this took off all over the Internet you were C man you categorize quarterbacks into different categories they were were three of them it was the Navy Seals snipers and field generals okay so just maybe list off for an example so people understand you field generals you had Rogers right snipers was snipers were the tws they were the Drew breezes of the world okay and then the Navy Seals by land and by ground yes the Dual threat guys that not only can beat you with their feet but they can beat beat you in the air know there's a lot of guys that that are dual threat that can't beat you in the air okay so that's like a Lamar so where do you put Joe burrow in your categories today Joe burrow is one of those field generals he's one of those that those dying breeds and when I say Field General I I need everybody to understand it's not only their ability to throw the ball exceptionally well it's their understanding of the game of football in its entirety from organic situation from a holistic situation understanding where pieces are supposed to be they're that and that's why Joel burrow is one of those Dying Breed field generals where it's a it's a chess match between the offensive coordinator and the linebacker but in these in in these cases with with the Joel Burrows the the Patrick Mahomes the pon Mannings it's actually a a a b a battle between me and the quarterback MH the thing that is most important about burrow okay he has beaten Patrick Mahomes in a playoff game it actually can happen it's so rare and such a special accomplishment it is the ultimate skin on the wall Mahomes playoff losses to Brady as a patriot to Brady as a Buccaneer to Joe burrow that's guys that's how this works with this dude so Joe burrow is an important figure if you have Chiefs fatigue if you're not don't want them to win three in a row you want Joe burrow in the playoffs and it doesn't have to be home it could be in Arrowhead he's won there it is a very very special thing five- two in the playoffs but more importantly he is actually made Xerxes bleed he knows how to beat Mahomes it is possible we need him out there if you want Mahomes to not see this thing through he has thread the needle on the arrow through the Achilles heel and and right in his right in his uh s exactly maybe put him in all the categories at this point um Kyle thank you so much uh so [Music] [Music] fore [Music] [Music] [Music] what time
