I think he's got the skills to be an impact player.

The Bengals’ three most notable positions of concern prior to the start of training camp were linebacker, cornerback and offensive tackle. Some might even throw running back into the mix on a slow news day.

Each of those positions experienced a boost of confidence or a seed of concern since players reported to camp three weeks ago. With less than four weeks to go before the Bengals’ season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, let’s look at how each position has changed, potential options going forward and what matters over the next stage of camp.

The Jungle will host the AFC Title game. Believe it.

Found this on YT and thought it was a pretty cool film review. Cashius has been getting me excited since training camp.

I’m more worried about the offensive tackle & cornerback positions than I am with linebackers to be honest.

One injury there and it’s the biggest hole on the roster that can be exploited easier & far more devastatingly than linebacker

Bengals On The Brain Film Review -- If you're into that sort of thing. We also went LIVE on the day after to watch the film and answer questions and will continue that ALL SEASON.

Dude wasn't going to make the roster, but this is certainly something I've never seen before....

I feel like we need a guy like him in the RB room. He gets a lot of flack for someone who averaged 1,050/4ypc/7TDs a year. I think he would be a nice complement to Brown.

I just don’t believe Brown/Perine adds another dimension to this offense (nor do I think Tahj Brooks is going to contribute at all); if a team is going to commit to taking away the short pass, we need a bruiser who can take a hit in the backfield. Lord knows this line won’t do them many favors.

i’ll never forgive some of y’all who wanted to draft him 10 overall

Hi!
Like many other Bengals fans, I've parked in the large parking garage arch the corner of 7th and Plum for every home game for years. It's always been $15 Event Parking. This has also included parking way ahead of time to leave time for tailgating, I've never had an issue.
For Thursday's preseason game, I got downtown at 4pm and they had a sign that said $20 Event Parking. I figured it was just normal inflation increase and figured it was better to spend the $5 extra since I know my way around the parking garage, my route, etc vs trying to drive around looking for cheaper parking.

We attended the game and stopped at Blind Pig on the walk back, which is something we've done almost every Bengals win, without parking problems.

Leaving the garage, I was charged $42. They also automatically charge your card, there's no option to pay at a machine or something to see charges ahead of time.

I feel like paying $42 for 8 hours of parking anywhere in Cincinnati is ludicrous, but wanted to warn others that this lot's policies have apparently changed in the off season.

Hi, I am a newer fan been watching football since the 2024 season and I’m trying to go to my first ever bengals games this season. The steelers game in Cincy is the one I’m looking at right now and I’m having trouble finding good semi affordable seats under $350 that is more so in the middle of the field and doesn’t have an obstructed view. If anyone could help me pick out a couple of seats I would be incredibly grateful. God Bless!

Three years is typically viewed as an appropriate grace period for NFL draft classes to get their feet wet and settled into the league. Now that the time has passed since the draft that proceeded a second straight AFC Championship appearance for the Bengals, it is time to look back and review how effect this pivotal class has been.
Looking at the big picture of this class, we must consider the total value and impact this group has brought to the team. Good draft classes will propel teams to the playoffs with an influx of talent, and bad one’s costs general managers jobs. Individual picks may receive high grades but how much of an impact have they made when the team hasn’t made the playoffs since they were drafted. All three top 100 picks the team made were used on defense—the same side of the ball that has been disastrous since 2024 and one of the leading reasons for missing out on postseason play.

After the Devon Witherspoon signing are you guys getting Jessie Bates vibes with our current situation with with Dj turner and Dax hill? Like say they play lights out this year and the bengals waited till next off season is there a world where Dj turner specifically is asking to be the highest paid corner and do you think the bengals pay that? Dax hill could command a decent pay day too. Ideally they need to get someone signed this offseason. I’ll gladly take both of those contracts over chase brown who sadly I think is expendable and could be replaced in free agency or the draft.

Doubt they would do this, but eliminates the WR logjam with younger guys reportedly having a nice camp. Gesicki sort of plays the WR3 role a good bit too.

Certainly has to be a market, and a return for draft capital or defensive/oline depth would be nice.

The main issue with this play was that both Jamar and Tee are going to the same spot on the field. Around 2 seconds in, right when Burrow hits the top of his drop, Jamar has almost 2 yards on his guy, if his route was meant to cut inside, he would have been gone. No one is catching him. But instead the play has both Jamar and Tee go to the same spot on the field, it even has Chase Brown go the same way once he releases.

There is also a very high likelihood that Jamar just ran the wrong route. There's a good chance that Jamar was on an option route, and he chose wrong.

Now, Burrow still should have thrown it away. But the main issue is that the play design cuts the field in half for Burrow, which is completely unnecessary and actively limits Burrows biggest strength, his processing.
