Show Notes
New signing alert! New signing alert! Paul and Jay react to Cincinnati adding free agent pass rusher, Takkarist McKinley, to its roster. Will the 25-year-old former first-round pick provide a punch to a much maligned Bengals defensive front? Speaking of defenses, the Pittsburgh Steelers appear to terrorize opposing offenses week in and week out with their skilled defenders. How does Cincinnati plan to protect Joe Burrow? Can the club tap into previous matchups this year to formulate a comfortable game plan? Jay with da stats(!)...the sad stats. The stat-nugget-identifier lays out Steelers/Bengals losing time numbers before the guys seamlessly segue into a questionable tweet from the 'Stripes' main account. Jay is joined by The Athletic's Pittsburgh Steelers scribe Mark Kaboly to preview Sunday's skirmish against Pittsburgh. What's the latest on the Steel Curtain's run in with Covid? How legit is this defense and why was the Dallas game as tight as it was? The duo cap off the show with a good ol' RPB!
