  • 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.

Who Dey Light: Predicting Bengals Captains & Team Energy
Q: Who do you think will wear the captain's C this season?
We lay out a long list of potential captains, mixing veterans like Dexter Lawrence, Ted Karras, and Orlando Brown Jr. with leaders from the offense like Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow, and adding a defensive edge with DJ Turner and BJ Hill as potential captains.
Who Dey Light: Chase's injury, Burrow's urgency and listener questions
Q: Why haven't we seen any movement in re-signings this fall? Do you think someone is going to get signed before the season kicks off?
They're waiting on the cornerback market to settle, with DJ Turner and others expecting market-driven numbers; movement will likely occur once negotiations align with the new market dynamics.
Who Dey Night: Rookie Show!
Q: Which rookie showed the most potential so far?
Cassius Howell has repeatedly impressed with his speed, power, and versatility, making him the standout so far.
Deep dive: Burrow under center expansion?
Q: Can offense truly be explosive in today's NFL without having a feature of under center?
The guest and hosts acknowledge that while the gun offense has produced tremendous explosiveness, there is value in incorporating under-center looks as a tool to expand run game explosiveness and to give defenses different looks, with the caveat that it should be balanced so Burrow isn't overburdened and the team doesn't lose its core playmaking capabilities.
Dexter Lawrence’s Leadership and Burrow-Rams nonsense
Q: What type of leader should the Bengals expect from Dexter Lawrence, given the Joe Burrow mold?
The hosts suggest a quieter leadership style, leading by example and consistent work ethic rather than vocal rah-rah leadership, similar to how some captains operated previously.
