The regular season is right around the corner, and while at least the onset of it will have a very different feel, the excitement around the 2020 Bengals hasn’t changed since the early months on the calendar of this year.
A major part of that excitement happened to join us on the program this week. Mike Daniels, who joined the Bengals from the rough-and-tumble NFC North, adds a ton of talent on the defensive line.
He also brings with him a larger-than-life personality which we are happy to have him share with Bengals fans. From his off-field hobbies, his wonderful family and unique recovery processes, we were happy to let you get to know him.
Here are some of the highlights from this week:
- Daniels is a big fan of comics—particularly manga and anime. So much so, in fact, he says his next touchdown celebration may resemble something from a prominent Japanese-based cartoon.
- He’s loving the city of Cincinnati and being a Bengal so far.
- Daniels explained his creative off-day regimens to heal up and keep sharp.
- John and I recap the ongoing, sad story surrounding Mackensie Alexander and his father.
- A.J. Green returned to practice, while John Ross sustained a minor injury on Wednesday. We take a further look at the wide receiver group.
- Fred Johnson is getting looks at both right tackle and right guard. Even so, he still is grinding for a starting spot.
