Welcome back Chucki's company alive on 106,7 the fan, and the team 980 here in the DMV.

Gonna check in right now on the Beckual guest hotline with Mo Egger.

He's an afternoon host on ESPANAN 1530 in Cincinnati where of course the

Mow, how is Joe Burrow handling being in the longest losing stretch of his career no wins in his past four starts

longest stretch in his career at any level so I mean it has to be at the back of his brain at some point right?

Yeah, I think so I mean you know I think more than anything in the back of his brain and in the first game of the season against the Patriots was that he it wasn't 100% by his own

sort of admission and when I say sort of Joe over the course of training camp never

said that he's 100%.

You know, he talked about making progress and being where he needs to be at that point.

And if you watched his performance against the Patriots,
