Recap: October 24, 2024 – The Ortho Cincy Mo Egger Radio Show

The latest edition of the Ortho Cincy Mo Egger Radio Show on October 24, 2024, delivered another hour of engaging sports talk, insightful analysis, and a spotlight on the key storylines driving Cincinnati’s sports landscape. Host Mo Egger dove deep into discussions surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals, the local college football scene, and even touched on some offseason updates regarding the Cincinnati Reds.

A significant portion of the show was dedicated to the Bengals, with Egger analyzing the team’s current situation as they approach the midseason mark. With the Bengals sitting at 3-4 and preparing for a pivotal Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Egger emphasized the importance of quarterback Joe Burrow’s improved health and performance. Burrow’s early-season struggles due to a calf injury were well-documented, but his recent resurgence has given Bengals fans reason for optimism. Egger also took a close look at Cincinnati’s defense, praising the unit’s ability to create turnovers and apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks, something that will be essential against the Eagles’ high-powered offense.

Listeners were treated to a comprehensive breakdown of the Bengals’ offensive line issues and how they’ve impacted the team’s overall performance. Egger highlighted that, despite the struggles, there have been flashes of improvement, especially in the run game led by Joe Mixon. The Eagles present a formidable challenge, but Egger suggested that this game could be a turning point in the Bengals’ season if they manage to pull off an upset and reach .500.

Aside from the Bengals, college football was another hot topic, with Egger giving props to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami University RedHawks for their strong starts to the season. He also fielded calls from passionate fans, some of whom voiced concerns over the Bearcats’ recent performances in their new conference, the Big 12.

The show wrapped up with a quick update on the Cincinnati Reds’ offseason priorities, including potential trades and free-agent signings, as well as an acknowledgment of FC Cincinnati’s playoff push in Major League Soccer.
