In lieu of a recent report exploring growing dissent in the Bengals' locker room, Paul and Jay discuss Cincinnati's culture. It's apparent the team is losing and frustration is bred from that, but is there resentment festering throughout the organization? Is winning all it takes to exorcise toxicity from the Bengals?

New signing alert! New signing alert! Paul and Jay react to Cincinnati adding free agent pass rusher, Takkarist McKinley, to its roster. Will the 25-year-old former first-round pick provide a punch to a much maligned Bengals defensive front? Speaking of defenses, the Pittsburgh Steelers appear to terrorize opposing offenses week in and week out with their skilled defenders. How does Cincinnati plan to protect Joe Burrow?

It's bye week, wooo! Nothing stressful to think about at all. Not a thing...not even the offensive line which is a mixed bag (to say the least) and is scheduled to play one of the league's top defenses next week. Like I said, hakuna matata. OK, fine, Paul and Jay gab about Cincinnati's fluid offensive line layout and what the starting unit could like like against the Steel Curtain next week. The guys dispense their mid-season awards, including categories like MVP, DPO(H)Y (Defensive Player of th...

The Bengals pulled off a trade? Cincinnati moved former pro-bowl defensive lineman Carlos Dunlap to Seattle in exchange for a late-round pick and offensive lineman B.J. Finney. Why was Dunlap traded? Does this further Cincinnati's defensive woes? And aside from what's transpired this season, Dunlap made his mark on the Cincinnati community. What can fans of the orange and black stripes expect from Finney and former Bills offensive lineman, Quinton Spain, who was recently signed, too? The Athleti...

Another miserable showing by the defense places Paul and Jay near the epicenter of 'how does Cincinnati fix their defense' discourse. So, is it possible for the Bengals to improve their stop unit? The guys explore that, the Geno Atkains/Carlos Dunlap usage kerfuffle and more. Among less likely options to improve the front line, could the club orchestrate a trade before next week's deadline, and if so, who could be on their radar?

Sports clichés, you've gotta love'em. Paul shares this affection for trite remarks, especially this gem: is this a must-win game? He and Jay entertain the notion that this Sunday is vital for Cincinnati. Is this weekend really that important? What could be the fallout from a loss? The duo revisit the it's-time-to-part-ways-with-Geno-Atkins discourse before Cincy's divisional bout.

Another week, another five minutes where we're left scratching our heads because the defensive line continues to underwhelm. Paul and Jay revisit a reoccurring issue this season; key defensive lineman (not naming any names Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap) playing very limited roles in relation to their generous contracts. What has to change? Is it time to cut bait (and by cut bait we mean trade or cut the gratuitous trappings)? Before words of hope fill Bengals fans' ears, Lou Anarumo, Bengals def...

There's much to get into in today's podcast, as Paul and Jay kickoff the show discussing no news...which is news considering A.J. Green and co. are mum on the 32-year-old wide out's satisfaction with the organization and his role amid reports of discontent. Next, can the Bengals defense win Cincinnati a game, particularly this week against a, surprisingly, meek Colts offense? To further expand on Indianapolis and themes surround them this season, The Athletic's Colts scrivener, Zak Keefer, joins...

Cincinnati's defensive line has experienced a slew of injuries; leading Paul and Jay to question what the depleted front line will look like moving forward. Will the Bengals undergo a scheme change, and is it time Geno Atkins to step up? The loss column in Zac Taylor's coaching resume continues to climb, so is it understandable that he's on the hot seat? How has Cincinnati and Joe Burrow handled the blitz so far this year, and how often do their upcoming opponents deploy the rush? The guys try t...

The Collatz Conjecture could have a solution before Cincinnati answers their hanging question at right guard.
