Marisa Contipelli and Dave Lapham recap Saturday's Senior Bowl game from Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

The Bengals didn't coach the winning team in Saturday's Senior Bowl, but they did call the shots for the game MVP when Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert led the South to a touchdown on the first drive of the North's 34-17 victory at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Herbert seemed to pretty much cement the label of the second-rated quarterback in the NFL Draft behind LSU's Joe Burrow.

There are a slew of interesting offensive linemen here at the Senior Bowl this week (Willie Anderson likes South Carolina State tackle Alex Taylor and Dave Lapham thinks St. John's guard Ben Bartch is intriguing). Duke Tobin, the Bengals director of player personnel, is going to watch them all. But he also likes the tackles who were prospects a year ago at this time and arrived in Cincinnati during this past season via various venues.

The decision to become a coach came 20 years ago. After his Titans lost the Super Bowl. "By a yard," said Steve Jackson on Tuesday, the Bengals new cornerbacks coach, setting some kind of a franchise record by working his first practice less than 48 hours after he agreed to a deal. Jackson cut his teeth in the rough-and-tumble AFC Central of the 1990s and he'll bring the old school down hill.

Dave Lapham catches up with Jim Nagy, Executive Director of the Senior Bowl, to discuss the significance of the week and the importance of the bowl game being played in Mobile, Alabama.

Joe Burrow isn't here this week, but that hasn't stopped the rising tide of conventional wisdom (national and in the 513) from washing over the Bengals and the NFL here on the Gulf Shore saying he's that lock to be the No. 1 pick in the draft. Some of his teammates are here and they'll gladly make his case, from his lethal post-practice stare when it didn't go well to a competitive streak as long as the national champion Tigers' winning skein that upended his first LSU conditioning test.

Early. So early Duke Tobin isn't ready to say the Bengals definitely won't trade the No. 1 pick in the April 23-25 draft. And he says there is plenty of time to get to know LSU quarterback Joe Burrow even though he won't play in Mobile. "It's early in the process," Tobin said Monday at the Senior Bowl. But it's never too early for defense.

Shortly after settling into his Senior Bowl downtown headquarters where he's preparing to coach Saturday's all-star game (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network), Bengals head coach Zac Taylor continued to add  experience to his staff when he made a couple of hires official on Monday. He turned to a pair of 50-year-olds in a two-time college head coach Al Golden and a Super Bowl safety in Steve Jackson.

History says the Bengals are bringing back some all-stars after they coach the South in the Jan. 25 Senior Bowl (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network) via the April 23-25 NFL Draft.  Here are a few of the South players to watch. 

In his first comments since the end of last season, head coach Zac Taylor sat down this week for a conversation with Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson before his coaching staff leaves Sunday for Mobile, Ala., to work the Jan. 25 Senior Bowl (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network) coaching the South. He's impressed with LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and hopes he at least visits with the team during the week.

In between meetings and film work prepping for the Senior Bowl, Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan and his quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt can't help but smile when the topic is LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. They may not know yet if he's going to join them next week in some fashion when they coach the South in the Jan. 25 game (2:30 p.m.-NFL Network) in Mobile, Ala. But they do know they'll have no problem putting him in their offense that has several elements of what Burrow ran to virtual reality perfection in Baton Rouge. 

No one has coached in more Senior Bowls or won more of them than Paul Brown. When his Cincinnati Bengals, one of the two NFL teams he founded, coach in the 70th anniversary of the college all-star classic next week they'll be doing it for the same reasons he coached eight straight. And from the great Harry Agganis that Brown coached to a Senior Bowl MVP to reigning Heisman Joe Burrow, quarterbacks have always been under the Mobile microscope.

A look at current Bengals players who have participated in the Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl features the country's best senior collegiate football players and top NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and South that are coached by the entire coaching staffs of two National Football League teams.

In their three appearances this century, the Bengals were assigned the North and took drubbings every time with the MVP always a South quarterback.
