Summary

Bengals "de facto general manager"and Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin spoke with the media today at Paycor Stadium, a rarity considering it is not even a week after the season ended. Alex Frank and Art Valero discuss the biggest takeaways from Tobin's press conference and how fans should feel about his answers to the toughest questions he fielded today. Earlier this week, the Baltimore Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons. While Alex believes this actually justifies the Bengals' front office's decision to keep Zac Taylor and Duke Tobin and Taylor's decision to keep his coaching staff intact, it increases the pressure on the front office to be right with what they're doing, and not doing. Speaking of keeping the coaching staff intact, Bengals' offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher is interviewing with the Cleveland Browns for their head coach opening. Should Bengals' fans be worried about him leaving for the City up North? If he does, there's one man Zac Taylor should hire as the Bengals' offensive coordinator. Ja'Marr Chase was named the Bengals' MVP by the Cincinnati chapter of the PFWA this week. Alex and Art discuss who else stood out for the Bengals in an otherwise disappointing season.
