We discuss whether or not the earlier than expected return from Williams paints a clear picture at right tackle, plus who else could make some noise at that position, including Jackson Carman and La'el Collins. Later, we look at the Bengals running back position to determine what a good split between Chase Brown and Joe Mixon might look like in 2023. Then, we talk about the idea of adding recently-released rusher James Robinson and some other options to add before the season.

Plus, Chad discusses why the Bengals next move should be re-signing Tee Higgins after locking down Orlando Brown Jr gave them long-term flexibility on offense. Not to mention, Chad shares some love for a few of the Bengals key picks.
On today's show, we react to all 8 picks from the Cincinnati Bengals haul in the 2023 NFL Draft. We start with our reaction to Myles Murphy being the selection at 28, which surprised many who'd expected to see Covington Catholic-turned-Notre Dame Tight End Michael Mayer come off the board. We shared what we expect from Murphy 2023 and what he might add to the Bengals defense in the long run. Then, we dive into the decision to go with Jordan Battle at #95 after a trade back with the Chiefs allowed them to add a late 6th round pick. Later, we examine the selection Chase Brown, who has a good chance to get a lot of carries immediately, but does present some risk despite good upside. We then touch on the decision to skip tight end in this draft and why that might not be as painful as some Bengals fans may expect. To wrap up the show, each of the guys shares their favorite pick of the draft class, all of which are a little different.

Then, we're joined by Max Toscano (And The Valley Shook) for an in-depth look at how the Bengals scheme can evolve to be even more dangerous in 2023. We examine what took some of the explosive plays out of last year's offense, plus why a shift at the tight end position could be a major boost. Max shares why he believes Tucker Kraft might be the perfect fit for the Bengals, plus why Drew Sample's return truly opens the doors for them to do whatever they want with the position in the draft.

On today's show, the guys take some time to look at the week that was, as the Cincinnati Bengals had a stomach-churning free agency cycle. First, we talk about the decision to go with Nick Scott at safety on a 3-year, $12 million deal to fill in the gap left by Vonn Bell. We discuss the leadership and athletic ability he brings to the position, plus why he's a guy that Lou Anarumo will love using in his backfield. Then, we breakdown the decision making process for the Bengals as they look to make a decision on Jonah Williams's future in Cincinnati, as the veteran tackle has requested a trade in the wake of the Orlando Brown Jr deal to Cincinnati. We then talk about the concerning tight end situation for the Bengals, where it seems like Foster Moreau or bust with free agency wrapping up, which could force them to go with a tight end earlier than they'd like in the 2023 NFL Draft. We wrap up the show by looking at the Bengals biggest remaining positions of need as the draft cycle truly starts to churn.
On an emergency edition of the Same Old Stripes podcast, the guys are in studio to discuss the Cincinnati Bengals landing star left tackle Orlando Brown Jr on a 4-year, $64 million deal. We discuss the sheer shock of the signing and why it matters so much to a team with a superstar quarterback on a rookie contract. Plus, we examine how great of a deal the Bengals ended up getting, as Brown Jr's market came to them at a comfortable level. Later, we look at how much this deal can raise the ceiling on Joe Burrow, as Brown has been a starting tackle for two MVP seasons (Jackson in '19, Mahomes in '22). Then, we examine the way the rest of the line unfolds with Brown Jr moving to left tackle, including some thoughts on what do do with Jonah Williams next season. Finally, we talk about free agent visits upcoming with S Nick Scott and OL Cody Ford, plus some nice potential fits looking outside to Austin Ekeler and Mike Gesicki.

Plus, we talk about the business side of the game, as we share our thoughts on wanting to see Jessie Bates III get a nice contract, especially with the Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons already rumored to have lots of interest.

Then, we debate whether or not an upgrade over Cordell Volson at left guard makes sense for the Bengals, which does become a contentious debate. We continue the spirit of the conversation for the right tackle position, where La'el Collins is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season and already wasn't impressive to most Bengals fans. Finally, we wrap up the show by sharing our best fits for the Bengals in the first three rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft, including why we love the idea of Michael Mayer and Bijan Robinson amongst other options on the board.

On today's show, we break down another Cincinnati Bengals win, this time a 27-10 dismantling of the Buffalo Bills in the snow at their own stadium (Highmark Stadium). We discuss Joe Burrow's complete control of the came and why his 23/36, 242 passing yard, and 2 touchdown performance is even better than it looks on paper. Plus, we talk about how impressed we were with the battered Bengals offensive line, who shoved the Buffalo Bills off the line, generating 172 yards of rushing offense and just 1 sack of Burrow.

Then, we look at a defense that's being carried by its depth at the moment, with unsung heroes like Josh Tupou and Tre Flowers making some of the biggest plays of the day, plus an impressive rookie debut for Dax Hill. Plus, we dive into what's making Germaine Pratt an All-Pro candidate, as the linebacker continues to thrive as the schedule gets tighter. We also dive into another clunky day for the offense, as the running game stalled drastically and Joe Burrow continues to struggle with tipped ball interceptions. Finally, we close with some thoughts on the AFC landscape, specifically as it relates to the Baltimore Ravens falling 13-3 to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday to give the Bengals a one-game pad on the division.
On today's episode, we break down the Cincinnati Bengals gritty win over the Cleveland Browns, where the final score held at 23-10. On the show, we open by talking about the scene from Paycor Stadium, which certainly gave Deshaun Watson a hard time in his first AFC North appearance. Then, we talk about an incredible day for DJ Reader, who was the key factor in holding Nick Chubb to 34 yards on 14 carries.

First, we talk about Trenton Irwin's big day and the news that he'd been added to the 53-man roster. Then, we move to a discussion about what this version of Joe Burrow can give this team down the stretch. After a day when Burrow demolished the Steelers defense for four quarters in their own stadium, the year-three passer has continued what's been one of the hottest streaks of the year.

From there, we quickly pivot to the left guard battle, where Jackson Carman came completely unraveled in the team's loss. We discuss how much faith we have left in the second-year guard, especially after watching 2022 fourth-round pick Cordell Volson look sufficient in the role. Next, we look at a pair of rookies, Zach Carter and Jeff Gunter, discussing just how impressive they were during their debuts. Then, we pivot to a Chris Evans discussion about his ceiling this season. Finally, we wrap up the show by discussing how we would grade the overall performance of the team from Friday's loss.
