  • Why the 2026 Bengals Are A Real Contender This Season | FTP 2026

    The Cincinnati Bengals have spent years asking Joe Burrow and their offense to overcome a defense that simply hasn’t been good enough.In 2026, they’re betting that one massive defensive overhaul can finally change that.Cincinnati traded the No. 10 pick for Dexter Lawrence, added Jonathan Allen and Boye Mafe, and completely rebuilt its defensive front after losing Trey Hendrickson to Baltimore. Instead of relying on one dominant edge rusher, the Bengals now have the personnel to create disruption from the inside out — potentially transforming what Al Golden can do in Year 2 as defensive coordinator.Meanwhile, the formula on offense remains familiar: Joe Burrow throwing to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Chase Brown providing explosiveness out of the backfield, and an offensive line that Cincinnati desperately needs to hold up.In our 2026 Bengals preview, we break down the new-look defensive front, life after Hendrickson, the development of Cincinnati’s young defenders, the offensive line, and whether this roster is finally complete enough to reopen its Super Bowl window.Where do you agree with them?

  • Are the Baltimore Ravens Still Super Bowl Contenders? | FTP Previews

    The Baltimore Ravens enter 2026 looking to prove that one disappointing season didn’t close their championship window.

    After missing the playoffs in 2025, Baltimore made one of the biggest changes in franchise history — moving on from John Harbaugh after 18 seasons and handing the team to Jesse Minter. Now Lamar Jackson enters a new offensive system under Declan Doyle, while the Ravens have added Trey Hendrickson to a defense that already has plenty of high-end talent.

    But there are legitimate questions surrounding this roster. Baltimore lost Tyler Linderbaum and multiple other contributors this offseason, the offensive line has been reshuffled, and Lamar is coming off an injury-plagued 2025 season.

    In this 2026 Baltimore Ravens season preview, we break down:

    🏈 What changes under Jesse Minter and Declan Doyle
    🏈 How the new offense could maximize Lamar Jackson
    🏈 Whether Baltimore rebuilt its offensive line well enough
    🏈 What Trey Hendrickson adds to the Ravens pass rush
    🏈 The biggest strengths and concerns on the roster
    🏈 And ultimately: Are the Ravens still legitimate Super Bowl contenders?

    Welcome to the From The Pocket 2026 NFL Season Preview Series.

  • Is There Really Hope for the New York Jets? | FTP Previews

    Welcome in everyone! This is From The Pocket, and we are here today to break down the upcoming Jets schedule for the 2026 NFL season.

    Jake and Christin both believe this team has done enough this offseason to give its fans hope for the future, but some concerns are still in place, particularly ahead of this campaign.

    A strong roster, for example, could be capped by a questionable coaching staff. Will this be the case? Or will Aaron Glenn pull off the coaching comeback of the decade?

    We talk about it all here.

    Let us know what you think this team will do in 2026, and if you're optimistic about its future.
