## Resource

The Bengals are coasting into the offseason with confidence after wrapping up spring practices early — a bold move by head coach Zac Taylor signaling a veteran, well-prepped roster. Quarterback Joe Burrow and Taylor both emphasized avoiding injury by dialing back intensity, with installations complete and the team ready for the long haul. The offense remains intact, while the defense, led by Al Golden’s second-year system, is showing strong growth, especially from new players who’ve quickly adapted and brought leadership. The cornerback unit, featuring Colby Davis’s imposing size, DJ Turner’s coverage, and Dax Hill’s versatility, is shaping up to be a formidable force on third downs. Rookie wideout Andrei Iosivas is impressing with his work ethic and physicality, and Taylor is excited to see him in full pads. And in lighter news, Burrow and Flacco are skipping the new season of Quarterback — for now — while Taylor admits he’s already hooked on the show.
