From a leadership standpoint, we&#8217;re in a really good place. Now you actually have to\u00a0go\u00a0do the work. It&#8217;s fun to talk about this stuff in the offseason.\u00a0This\u00a0is where we\u00a0are up to\u00a0this point. There&#8217;s no work we could have done in the field or from a chemistry standpoint.\u00a0Now it&#8217;s up to the players and the coaches to put it all together,\u00a0so that&#8217;s going to\u00a0require a lot of work on the field, in the locker room, off the field, but\u00a0I&#8217;m excited about the group we&#8217;re going to\u00a0go do it\u00a0with.\u00a0Players, coaches, personnel, ownership \u2014 very united right now. So now, we have to\u00a0go\u00a0do the work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7r\">&#8220;The coaches have to do a great job putting these guys in the right spots, getting the most out of them, and the players have got to go work.\u00a0They&#8217;ve\u00a0got\u00a0to work\u00a0to build the\u00a0chemistry with a lot of new players we brought in, bring the rookies up to speed, and\u00a0go\u00a0get it done on the field.\u00a0I&#8217;m confident that this is a group that&#8217;s really hungry to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7u\">Cincinnati is hovering right under the radar as a contender, but they boast the third-easiest schedule by opponent&#8217;s 2025 win rate and projected 2026 win totals. That sets them up to rack up some big win streaks if the whole roster can stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">Gotta keep Burrow clean.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">&#8220;Joe has a lot of pressure on him, more so than most of the quarterbacks, because of our system,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;The ball is in his hand a lot, and he has to make decisions a lot. And you know, that&#8217;s that, believe it or not, man, it&#8217;s extremely rare, just based on the way that we call the game. And so, you know, he&#8217;s locked in, and I will tell you at all times. Man, even probably at the Kentucky Derby, he&#8217;s thinking about how to get Ja&#8217;Marr (Chase) open.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"87\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/bengals\/onsi\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sign Up For Our DAILY Newsletter for More Free Coverage of the Cincinnati Bengals Delivered to You Directly<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8a\">For more on the Bengals,\u00a0subscribe to our YouTube Channel and be sure to check us out on your favorite audio platforms, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/cincinnati-bengals-talk\/id1789855235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tr.ee\/8ThI6nHRHl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1333-cincinnati-bengals-talk-256880212\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">iHeartRadio<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/030daf38-754f-4a5f-9846-3c5689070770\/cincinnati-bengals-talk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.
