If the Bengals are to take down the Chiefs in Week 17, they are going to have to play top-notch all around. How can Cincy lock up an AFC North title on Sunday? Why more Mixon, sure hands on defense, and a mistake-free first 15 minutes may make all the difference.

Week 2 wasn't kind to Cincinnati, as the Bengals left Chicago on the short end of a 20-17 game. Joe Burrow was sloppy, Zac Taylor's play calling was bad, but his presser after the game was maybe worse. Did we see (or hear) the first crack in the Burrow-Taylor relationship?

-
Who exactly will be the starting five offensive lineman?
-
Should Joe Burrow play in the preseason finale?

The final installment in the position group series brings us wide receiver talk, and LOTS of it. Scott Connor (@CharlesChillFFB) joins Taylor to talk the STRONGEST position group in Cincinnati, the receivers, including:
Is JuJu Smith-Schuster actually a better version of Tyler Boyd? Is Tyler Boyd a better version of Jarvis Landry? Is it possible for Ja'Marr Chase to silence the 'shoulda drafted Penei Sewell crowd?'

Special guest Zim (@zimwhodey) joins Taylor on episode 8, and gets a little defensive! That's right - linebackers and defensive backs.
-
The DB's have been dominating training camp thus far, but will they carry that into the season?
-
Can the Bengals coaching staff find a way to use Akeem Davis-Gaither in a productive way?
-
When will Jessie Bates get paid?
-
Plus, some swooning over the Bengals wide receiver trio.
All that and more, on Episode 8 of the Who Dey Den.

We all love Joe Mixon, but is he the most talented running back in the division? Is he even, perhaps... the LEAST talented starting running back in the AFC North? Taylor continues his journey through all of the position groups, and today tackles the running back position, and gives his observations from Saturday's Back Together Saturday practice.

The AFC North boasts a Super Bowl champion, league MVP, and Baker Mayfield among the quarterback position. So where does Joe Burrow fit in amongst the likes of Ben Roethlisberger, Lamar Jackson, and Baker Mayfield? Have we seen enough to crown Burrow as the QB you want to lead your franchise for the next five seasons?
Take a listen as Taylor dives into quarterback discussion in Part IV of the series.

It's back to back episodes of the Who Dey Den! Continuing the series analyzing position groups, Taylor is joined again (still?) by Mike to see if the revamped defensive line can improve on a shoddy performance last year.
Mike Santagata (@bengals_sans) joins Taylor to dive deep into the Bengals new-look defensive line. Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, and Carl Lawson have departed, while Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai and Larry Ogunjobi. Will the line be able to improve on a poor 2020 campaign? Talking points include:
-
Is Hendrickson good?
-
Ossai may be the skeleton key for this defense
-
Tyler Shelvin is a large man
Mike can be found putting out detailed film breakdowns on Twitter, writing new articles for Sports Illustrated's All Bengals site, and contributing to podcasts such as 'The Unofficial Bengals Podcast' and 'Locked On Bengals.'

After a long hiatus, Taylor returns to talk all of the latest Bengals news and introduce his new series, looking at each major position group and seeing where the Bengals stack up against the rest of the AFC North.
Mike Santagata (@bengals_sans) joins Taylor to dive deep into the Bengals offensive line as it currently stands. Talking points include:
-
How good can Jonah Williams be?
-
Will Billy Price ever develop into a contributor?
-
Was passing on Tevin Jenkins for Jackson Carman an egregious mistake?
-
Will addition by subtraction (so long, Jim Turner, Bobby Hart, and Michael Jordan) guarantee the line improves in 2021?

- Which stretch of games could see the Bengals string together some wins?
- Wait, how bad has Zac Taylor been against the AFC North?!
- How many games does ZT need to win to save his job?
