Protect 25, Previewing Philly with Zach Berman & RPB: Zac Taylor Gone in '21?

Paul and Jay train for podcasting the same way Daniel-san practiced karate, by waxing on and waxing off, polishing their mics and Bengals commentary to compete with the best. Putting their skills into action, the duo react to recent injuries that are both alarming to them and Cincy. Hey, the offensive line maybe, kinda, possibly isn't as bad as we think it is, and there's some continuity among the group now. How do we expect Sunday's receiver usage to shape up? PDJ and Jay note 25 players they'd protect on Cincinnati's roster in a hypothetical expansion draft situation. Jay sat down with Zach Berman, one of the incredible Athletic wordsmiths covering the Eagles, to preview this weekend's head-to-head against Gang Green. What's the deal with Carson Wentz? How urgent is a win needed in Philadelphia? What is it like to mentor a young QB who is outgoing but, at times, haphazard when trying to keep plays alive and subsequently take a licking? Doug Pederson discusses signal callers who put their bodies on the line more than others, including his, Carson Wentz, and the parallels between Wentz and Joe Burrow's underdeveloped sense of caution. Getcha Growlers! Getcha Growlers here! One of the two winless teams in Philadelphia this weekend will, inevitably, walk away the same as they entered, the question is, who will it be? A pair of run, pass or boots has us asking ourselves: Will we see Zac Taylor next year?
