God, I've enjoyed doing these and seeing everybody on the road.

It's been really, really fun.

This week had stops in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Green Bay, chatting with our Bengals writer, Paul DeNer Jr., our Colts writer, James Boyd, and our Packers writer, Matt Schneidman. Just a heads up, get some interesting background noise on a couple of these. The charm of doing these on the road, on the sidelines, sometimes. You're dealing with a lot of unsettled factors. So please bear with us on some of that. The auto quality is fine. It's just we're going to

have a little bit of stuff going on in the background. There was a tour that walked into the Green Bay

I'm not allowed to talk about Trey Henderson if I don't do a deep sigh first of exhaustion, but I'm happy to talk about it. Let's talk about it at the end, because I'm actually more interested in some of the other stuff than I am in that, just because we've hit it so many times this off season. Let's start with the offensive side of the ball. I feel like this is a team where it's kind of harder to come up with questions, curiosities, unanswered elements of who this team is supposed to be on
