About this episode

Peter Schrager discusses the Bengals' off-season with head coach Zac Taylor, including trades, team dynamics, and coaching strategies.

Peter reviews and reacts to the revelations from the new ESPN documentary "The Pick Is In", which had inside access to the Raiders, Cowboys, and Browns war rooms. He, then, highlights why he's so high on Dallas this off-season, and how a lot of it comes from the juice flowing from the hire of new defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Bengals coach Zac Taylor joins to discuss the Bengals 2026 off-season. Zac takes us behind the Dexter Lawrence trade that was "weeks" in the making, the importance of adding to the defense, the linebacker spot, the return of 11 offensive starters, and the showcasing of three assistant general managers who had previously always been behind the scenes. Peter and Zac talk the new look AFC North, why he doesn't mess with Joe Burrow's off-season whereabouts, and what he hopes to establish in his 8th season as the Bengals HC.
