## Resource

On Bleav in Bengals, Carl Banks joins Solomon Wilcots to break down what Bengals fans can expect from Dexter Lawrence after the blockbuster move from New York to Cincinnati. The Giants legend opens up on why he publicly challenged Dexter last season, what may have led to the drop in production, and why he still believes Dexter can change in defense when he’s motivated. The conversation also dives into Joe Burrow, the importance of dominant defenses in today’s NFL, and why the Bengals’ defensive front could become one of the league’s most dangerous units.
