For the first time in nearly two decades, there will be another head coach on the other side of the field when the Cincinnati Bengals play the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore moved on from John Harbaugh after failing to make the playoffs in 2025, and after several interviews, they landed on Los Angeles Chargers’ defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to replace him.

Minter worked on Baltimore’s defensive staff from 2017 until 2020, before one season as Vanderbilt’s defensive coordinator. After leaving Vanderbilt, Minter was the defensive coordinator at The University of Michigan under Jim Harbaugh, ironically enough. Minter would build a defense...

This has been a long time coming.

Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback has some pent up frustration with Andy Dalton on account of the QB’s weak performances in the playoffs, and he’s now letting it out.

Jones had briefly indicated this in years past, including on our show, where he said “Andy Dalton broke all our a**”.

Then recently, on “Games With Names”, hosted by Julian Edelman, Jones was looking at film from the Bengals’ playoff loss to the San Diego Chargers in January of 2014 when the Red Rifle came up again.

Edelman referred to the Bengals at the time...

When Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher was set to interview for a head coaching position with the Cleveland Browns, fans started to prepare for his exit and wondered how the Bengals would replace him. Cleveland’s interest appears to have cooled, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also interviewed Pitcher for their offensive coordinator position, which would have given him a chance to be a play-caller, since Zac Taylor handles those duties in Cincinnati.

Tampa Bay decided to go a different route, hiring former Bengals quarterback Zac Robinson as the team’s next offensive coordinator. Robinson spent 2011 through 2013 as a...

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Cincinnati Bengals could afford to add an interior pass rusher.

Here are some IDL options who could be available in free agency.

Logan Hall

After posting 5.5 sacks and 10 quarterback hits in 2024, Logan Hall took a step back this year, with only 1.5 sacks and 6 quarterback hits.

Hall is still only 25, and this statistical drop-off could be just a temporary blip in a promising career.

A 2022-second round pick, Hall has improved his game every year. At 6’6” 283, Hall has an unconventional frame for...

**Former Bengals star’s career outlook suddenly sounds bleak **According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, a source described Mixon’s career as “in doubt” during the season. Throughout the year, an injury return was never close and the team honored Mixon’s wishes for privacy.

The Cincinnati Bengals could use an infusion of talent in the secondary.

Safety Caleb Downs is not only one of the most talented players in the NFL Draft, but he also played at nearby Ohio State.

It seems like a match made in Heaven if he’s still around when the Bengals pick 10th overall.

Well, the OG Draft guru himself, Mel Kiper Jr., thinks Cincinnati will end up with the opportunity to take him and will capitalize on it.

“Downs reads plays so well and has the speed and wrap-up technique to wrangle and take down ball carriers,” [Kiper wrote...

It is no secret that the Cincinnati Bengals need to get better at rushing the passer.

Trey Hendrickson is as good as gone. Myles Murphy took some big steps this season, but he can’t do it on his own.

I would love to bring Joseph Ossai back. He is only 26 years old and has five sacks in each of the last two seasons. He also has inside/out versatility as a rusher.

Ossai’s return, however, seems a bit unlikely. And even if he did not back, they could still use more help.

Here are some guys who could be a...

Mock draft season is in full swing for Bengals fans with the 2026 NFL draft just a few months away.

It is no secret the Bengals are in desperate need of a full defensive reset and will likely need to cash in on a defensive cornerstone with their first round pick in 2026.

The Bengals do exactly that in the Fox Sports’ latest mock draft, but it may not be a name Cincinnati fans are high on.

The mock draft has Zac Taylor calling Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk as the 10th overall pick in this year’s draft.

“Faulk is...

Bengals fans should prepare for a familiar face to return if Dan Pitcher takes another offensive coordinator job

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is allowing offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher to interview with other NFL teams looking for a play-calling OC. Pitcher has an interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers later this week, and other teams that still need a play-caller now know they can hit his line in the coming days.

Would Bengals take risk on high-upside Eagles free agent?

The Cincinnati Bengals have the feel of a team that will be pretty active in free...

First.

The difference between the standard of football in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore—and the standard of football in Cincinnati—is absurd.

Every team with an elite quarterback (with the exception of the Chiefs) whose season fell short—whether in the playoffs or the regular season—made changes at head coach. The Ravens fired John Harbaugh, who is now with the Giants. The Bills fired Sean McDermott after being eliminated in the divisional round by the Broncos. Even Mike Tomlin and the Steelers parted ways.

The Bengals, meanwhile, missed the playoffs three seasons in a row and didn’t fire a single coach.

No adjustments....

Bengals enjoy luxury most teams don’t going into offseason...

The Cincinnati Bengals have invested heavily in replacing Trey Hendrickson through the Draft and failed pretty miserably.

Still, the search must go on to give some stability to the pass rush.

ESPN recently put out an offseason guide for all the teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs, and analyst Aaron Schatz wrote that the Bengals’ top offseason priority is to “Add juice to the pass rush”. He noted that, while the young pass rushers on the roster gave a glimpse of hope, Cincinnati still finished last in pass rush win rate for the year.

So how does Schatz...
