00:00Now, speaking of the Bengals, you know, yesterday they finally come away with a win in week one.

00:05But what was more of a storyline for you?

00:07The fact that their offense had seven total yards in the second half.

00:11Was it the offense underperforming or was it the defense stepping up,

00:15albeit not against the toughest opponent on the other side with the Browns?

00:20Yeah, they're going to have some issues offensively.

00:22I know all their skill players are dazzling and Joe Burrow is great,

00:25but they do have offensive line issues that continue to linger.

00:27So when you face a front led by Miles Garrett, it's not going to be just throw the ball around and get it done

00:33if Joe Burrow is going to be pressured.

00:35But credit to their defense.

00:37I mean, Trey Hendrickson, with all his drama, came through, played a pretty good game yesterday.

00:41So, I mean, their defense, I mean, sometimes you blow up a scheme and it works.

00:46And Al Golden comes in here from Notre Dame.

00:49I think a lot of his concepts were seen right away.

00:52And all of a sudden the Bengals, used to being 0-2, could really be 2-0

00:56because they get the Jaguars at home in week two.

00:58So that would be a twist on usually how the Bengals season starts.

01:02And if they're good early in the season, then the Bengals might be dangerous throughout the season.
