  • The Clifton Family loves this show

    I’m in the Air Force, my family and I are currently stationed about an hour east of KC and we are all Bengals fans, we are in enemy territory! Every week my two young boys and I listen to the podcast while we practice baseball in the backyard or basketball in the driveway, depending on the season. They love hearing Bengals talk, and love knowing Bengals fans are out there, even though they aren’t close to us. Keep it up, and thanks for all you do!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PD&Jay: Pace stats and pleasant surprises
Q: What do you think the disconnect is between the local media and national platforms or PFF when it comes to Chase Brown?
Paul says local observers have heard coaches describe Brown as a top-10 back and have seen his strong second-half trends, while national evaluations may weigh his full-season totals more heavily.
PD&Jay: Pace stats and pleasant surprises
Q: Is the frustration growing that the Bengals haven't been able to crack the code on run-game efficiency and explosive plays?
Dan Pitcher says the team wants balance and versatility, but it will prioritize the approaches that produce wins in each game, adjusting between efficiency and explosiveness based on what the defense gives them.
Who Dey Light: Mailbag show
Q: Is the Monday film watch together a real thing? And if so, is it just really a simple look at key plays? Or is it like a reasonable version of what Chuck said on the podcast?
Dehner confirms that ownership and staff review the full game film together. He describes this as one part of the Brown family's involvement, while noting he has not attended the session himself.
Who Dey Light: Mailbag show
Q: Why does it seem like everyone's unwilling to lean into the discussion of the Bengals having a Lamborghini with offensive talent, but they operate like they have a Ford Expedition?
Dehner says Burrow's pinpoint passing and confidence throwing into tight coverage lower separation numbers, though the scheme could still create more explosive opportunities. Both hosts acknowledge criticism of the offense and say its effectiveness will be judged over the season.
Rewatch: Jordan Battle, Boye Mafe & Explosive Runs
Q: What was it like for you to watch Jordan have the week that he did that ended the way it did?
Kovacs says Battle's two interceptions in his South Florida hometown, in front of friends and family, were especially rewarding after a difficult week.
