• Monday Discussion: Which 2024 Bengals rookie will make the biggest leap in Year 2?

Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Plenty of good options. Greetings, Bengals fans! For our first daily discussion this week, we’re asking who you believe will make the biggest leap in Year 2 from the 2025 Bengals rookie class. The favorite has to be first-round pick Amarius Mims, who had a solid rookie season at right tackle but could use some work and needs to get better at staying healthy. T...2025

• 2025 Cincinnati Bengals Position Review: Linebackers

Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images What can Al Golden do to fix this group? It’s common to claim that linebacker is not an important position. Because unlike cornerback and defensive end, they don’t have a direct impact on the quarterback. Well, I say ”poppycock.” Linebackers have to do it all. They fill gaps in the run game, drop into zone coverage, man up with tight ends and running back...2025

• Bengals snap count takeaways vs. Broncos

Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images Two big things stood out. The most interesting takeaway from this week’s snap counts for the Cincinnati Bengals is the linebacker position. Against the Denver Broncos, only two linebackers took snaps on defense, which is a bit of a surprise. The real surprise was that it was Akeem Davis-Gaither, not Germaine Pratt, who took all of the snaps. Davis-Gaither ...2025

• Bengals vs. Eagles Snap Counts: Where is Jordan Battle?

Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images *Insert Pulp Fiction Looking Around Gif* In Week 7 vs. the Browns, the Bengals gave Jordan Battle some reps, and it seemed to benefit the entire defensive unit.

No, his snaps dropped down to three while veterans Geno Stone (60/61) and Vonn Bell (57/61) took the major...2024
