It’s Championship Weekend in the 2021 NFL playoffs and the Cincinnati Bengals are keeping a watchful eye as to what it takes for teams to be in the hunt for a Lombardi.
One of the critical steps in the process is the NFL Draft and the OBI crew continues its “State Your Case” segment with a couple of draft possibilities at No. 5 overall. John and Anthony also look at the new coaches announced over the past week and reflects on their respective potential impacts.
On this week’s show:
- Marion Hobby seems to be a solid hire as defensive line coach for the Bengals—particularly with his recent track record of building teams’ pass-rush.
- Gary Brown is interviewing for the Bengals’ running backs coach position. Does this hire point to an immediate turnaround of Cincinnati’s running game in 2021?
- If the draft falls a certain way, the Bengals may have to decide between wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and DeVonta Smith at No. 5. Which one fits best?
- There are some mid-level offensive tackles prepping to enter the free agent market who could help the Bengals right away.
- And more!
