Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals used their first two draft picks in 2023 on defensive players Myles Murphy and DJ Turner. It may have taken longer than they had hoped, but both of them have finally taken off and look like players the Bengals' defense can build around. Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Art Valero discuss how the Bengals should prioritize insuring they are both on the roster long-term and how much the Bengals can build their defense around them. With the Arizona Cardinals coming to town on Sunday, it will be another test for the Bengals' young defense facing Cardinals' tight end Trey McBride. Art explains how the Bengals can limit McBride's ability to take over the game and destroy the Bengals' defense in the middle of the field. Bengals' fans don't like the San Francisco 49ers because they have beaten them twice in the Super Bowl. But, Alex and Art discuss the number of lessons that the Bengals can learn from them with the season they are having despite injuries and missed draft picks. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
