Week In Review: 2019 Schedule Is Here

In the latest Week In Review: a look back at the Bengals' second week of Organized Team Activities led by a profile of rookie tight end Drew Sample. Other highlights include a Hobson's Choice article and podcast, Bengals Booth Podcast and a feature on cornerback B.W. Webb and his journey to Cincinnati.

In the latest Hobson's Choice Podcast, Bengals.com Senior Writer Geoff Hobson sits down with defensive coordinator Lou Anaruo to discuss a variety of topics like the scheme, utilizing a mix of veterans and rookies and how the dynamic of the new coaches have helped with player development.

Finley was the first of the team's three fourth-round selections (104th overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Bengals broadcasters Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham discuss the second week of organized team activities and share insight on a couple of players that Bengals teammates are raving about. 

Andy Dalton, who knows a little something about what a second-round draft pick is supposed to look like, has joined the ever growing list of rookie tight end Drew Sample's admirers that have notarized him as advertised after all of four practices.

The mobile lifestyle is bestowed on some players more than others, but typically all players are affected by it at some point. For new Bengals cornerback B.W. Webb, a career has come at the price of a nomadic life that few experience in the National Football League. 

With a new staff and system in place, this is a chance for John Ross to take a big step. With his teammate Tyler Boyd serving as a frame of reference, Ross is following a similar template to be great.

Mentored by a former Bengals head coach that he can imitate to the syllable and recommended by a former Bengals draft pick that first urged him to go into coaching because of his gift for teaching, Nick Eason looks to be an ideal master overseeing the final check-mate on the Bengals record book by tackle Geno Atkins and end Carlos Dunlap.  

Organized team activities began this week as the Bengals operated at a furious pace. Plus, a Hobson's Choice, two podcasts and the linebackers standing out during workouts.

With the Bengals back to practice, Bengaldom is in mid-season form with the questions.

The Bengals linebackers were talking about it the other day. No Vontaze Burfict. No Vincent Rey. The only guy with more than five years and 50 games in the league is middle man Preston Brown. So Nick Vigil knows his time has come.

It was the first practice but another day where Zac Taylor let slip some more clues about his embryonic administration. That new left guard-tackle tandem of Cordy Glenn and Jonah Williams had plenty of chances to get on the same page during a break-neck practice.
