Summary

There are conflicting views on how the Bengals' offseason has gone so far. Is it a success, or is it a failure? It definitely feels incomplete, but the Bengals have made some good moves. More could be coming. Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero analyze the Bengals' offseason so far and the position it has the Bengals one month out from the NFL Draft. Speaking of which, the NFL Draft is less than one month away. Linebacker is a glaring need, and it's more and more unclear if the Bengals will sign one in free agency. Alex, though, is going to make a surprising case FOR Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr.. While it looks like DJ Turner and Dax Hill are primed to receive contract extensions this offseason, that doesn't mean cornerback is off the table entering the NFL Draft. Plus, best player available still may be able to work for the Bengals in the NFL Draft. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

0:00.0	I'm Alex Frank. When it comes to judging the Bengals off season, whether it's a success or a failure,
0:08.9	it's important to remember, Jake, that it still feels incomplete, but that doesn't mean you can't
0:14.9	want more with what the Bengals are doing or not doing. Yeah, veteran linebackers still would make some
0:20.5	sense. But the divide right now that I find
0:23.3	interesting is between national and local media takes on the Bengals offseason. It is very interesting,
0:28.7	coach, but one thing you have to have is contingency, and it feels like the Bengals do not.
0:34.1	Well, you know what? That's the main thing. As a coach, you have to have a backup plan. Everybody needs a backup. So that backup has its next man mentality. Somebody goes down. Somebody equally is good. It's got to step in. And right now, from a personnel standpoint, have the Bengals done that?
0:53.4	That's a key question that we'll discuss with
0:55.7	plenty more on the Bengals Squad show this afternoon. Today, it's the Bengals squad. Everything
1:01.1	Cincinnati Bengals every week. Breaking down all the big hits and game changing plays from the
1:06.8	Queen City, the way only the Lockdown Podcast Network can.

1:38.1	So we're happy about that.
