    Who Dey Light: End of the Downs dream? Jay’s Got Answers

    04/03/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    Jay Morrison and Mark Chalifoux kick off the weekend with a whole lot of Bengals talk. They start with jumping into the news of the day and talking about the Bengals latest additions to the secondary. What’s the fit? What’s their role? And most importantly, how does this affect pick #10?
    They answer questions on draft prospects, does Downs make too much sense? Could they potentially pass up on both Downs and Bain?? Is it unfair to Dax to potentially move his position AGAIN and what part of this offense would you upgrade given the chance? And how hard can you push a coach in an interview? Jay tackles all this and more from the Growl Pals.
    Other topics discussed on this episode; space launches, quadruple amputee crime, standup comedy for high schoolers, organ donation, and an all-time great Dad Life segment from Jay.
