Good morning, everybody. For one last time on the first thoughts previews, we wrap things up with the Cincinnati Bengals. Team number 32 of 32 began these first thoughts previews about five weeks ago. They're now wrapped up. All 32 teams are available to go back and listen here on the podcast feed. Of course, these were just pre-previews. We'll have full in-depth previews coming up

in about, I think, two weeks' time is a fair estimate. It might be three. Between then and now,

we'll have a lot of content going out on the RAS app. If you want to download it, it is a free

download from the Apple App Store. We'll have thoughts and insights on all sorts of teams and players to keep you

entertained from now until we get into the thick of preseason. I left the Bengals to last because

it's, again, like I said with the Eagles, it's a really difficult team to talk about because there's

not a lot that I can really provide that's going to make you think very differently about this

team than you probably already do. The Cincinnati Bengals are going to be a very, very good football

team. They're going to contend for a Super Bowl. They're going to contend for the AFC title.

They're also going to be one of the highest scoring teams from a total's perspective that you

will see throughout the course of the year.

Before we get to the defensive side, I just want to give an offensive note that I think is

sort of illustrating just how great this team could be. So they get better allegedly on the

offensive line. Jonah Williams is back. Orlando Brown steps in it left tackle.

This will be the best offensive line going into a season from a rankings perspective that has

ever played in front of Joe Burrow. This is a contract year and a big financial year for a number

of guys within the team. So not only is there the returning core, there's in the improved

offensive line, but there's also an elevated factor of knowing that the Bengals have to do things

now. Joe Mixon has already taken a pay cut. Joe Burroughs going to have to get the big payday.

Chase is going to have to get the big payday. This is it for the Bengals. This is the end of

the window. They've got to make it here. So there's that urgency factor that's going to go a long way.

The other thing that I would point out about why you should be optimistic about the Bengals
