The Growler

Paul and Mark react to the week in Bengals news as they record Who Dey Light from Another Nine in Montgomery. They discuss the reactions to the Bengals' pick in the post-free agency mock draft and the effect of the holes left in the Bengals' roster after free agency on the draft. They look at Geno Stone's departure and the Lou Anarumo Reunion Tour. Paul answers your questions on the Bengals' plan at center, the Bengals' contract structures, and the Bengals' front office-coaching staff dynamics.
