The Bengals' offense has improved in many facets so far this season. From a readily available deep ball that threatens defenses to more consistency from its playmakers; however, one glaring area of weakness for Cincinnati has been 3rd and short situations. Paul and Jay judge why the club struggles with these positions, and plead with the team to quit running the ball in 3rd and short spots. Paul hosts a 1-on-1 conversation with Bengals DB, Chidobe Awuzie. Awuzie shares his insight about his time...

When will Cincinnati's offense catch up to its staunch defense? Paul caught up with Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons to get his take on the multitude of missed kicks in Sunday's game. Mo Egger jumps in for his ...

It's the invasion of the dairy lovers (with heads adorned with cultured dairy products)! Paul and Jay chat Bengals-Packers and contemplate the Bengals' position with either a 3-2, or 4-1 record. Some Cincy o-linemen have comedically bad PFF grades, PDJ and JM cut through the appraisals to give their impression of the club's big guys and predict if they'll protect Burrow adequately against GB.

Though only two games into the young NFL season, Paul and Jay have wondered just how comfortable Joe Burrow actually is in the pocket. The 2020 number one overall pick sheds light on dropping back to throw, operating from empty sets, and maneuvering in and out of the pocket. Cincinnati has rolled out a top-10 defense through the first two weeks of the year, can that continue in Pittsburgh? The Bengals have had a less than auspicious time at Heinz Field over the last decade-plus. The Athletic's S...
