  • 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.

Rewatch: Pass rush plans
Q: What has allowed Cassius Howell to hit the ground running in the league?
He's coachable, has the right demeanor, and benefits from veterans around him, plus a system that lets him play within a role rather than overextending.
PD&Jay: Iosivas fallout, OTs check-in, Pittsburgh view
Q: What did Burrow say about Orlando Brown and the pass protection in the wake of the injuries?
Burrow defended Orlando Brown, noting that sacks aren't solely on Brown and that there are other factors in past protection; he highlighted the hard work and trust between Burrow and Brown and indicated Brown's effort and resilience.
PD&Jay: Iosivas fallout, OTs check-in, Pittsburgh view
Q: What happened with Andre Iosivas and how does the Bengals' offense adjust without him?
Defensive and offensive roles will be redistributed as the team deploys more players like Dante Meyers and Colby Young, with a possible elevation of Tanner Hudson from the practice squad; Mike Gassicki is expected to take on more responsibilities similar to what Iosivas handled, while the 12-personnel look may be emphasized with tight ends.
Who Dey Light: Reasons for optimism
Q: What is the assessment of the defensive issues after the Steelers game and what changes are anticipated?
While there were coaching and tackling issues highlighted, there is a cautious optimism that this is a one-off and that the defense can rebound after the bye, with more time to integrate players and fix miscommunications.
Who Dey Light: Reasons for optimism
Q: Should the Bengals consider a midseason wide receiver upgrade given injuries and T. Higgins' and Ja'Marr Chase's contracts?
The consensus is they would likely rely on internal depth (Mitch Tinsley back, Colby Young's return) and avoid big-name midseason acquisitions; upgrades are possible but not likely to cost significant draft capital, with focus on protecting Burrow and strengthening the offensive line and defense first.
