November 04, 2021JungleRoar With Richard Skinner: Why Bengals D Will Rebound, Expect Max Effort Vs. Browns
CINCINNATI -- Coming off their most disappointing loss in the Zac Taylor era - which came off their most resounding win under Taylor - the Bengals look to return to the kind of defense and complementary football that has, for the most part, defined their hopeful 2021 season. They'll need every bit of it, especially on defense, if they're to contain the No. 1 rushing team in the NFL and beat their archrival Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium. This is a season-defining game heading into the bye week and we discuss it all with Local 12's Richard Skinner:
Why there's still good reason to believe in these Bengals
Why Zac Taylor and his coaching staff need a solid bounce-back game
Jets game showed Joe Burrow can't always save the Bengals but he'll try anyway

September 21, 2021JungleRoar With Ben Baby of ESPN: How Bengals Can Discover Their Mojo
CINCINNATI -- It's the first of two Steeler weeks and the Bengals are coming off a very disappointing effort in a 20-17 loss to the Bears in Chicago. The offense looked completely out of sync and the quarterback and receivers don't appear to be on the same page as the offensive coordinator and head coach. How do the Bengals go about changing that?
Defense is carrying this team in many ways
Joe Burrow and receivers need to get on same page with HC and OC
Getting Joe Mixon in gear in Pittsburgh is a must
Steelers can be had, but only if the Bengals don't let Big Ben dictate terms
There's plenty of time for Bengals but they need to start defining identity now
