## Resource

The guys are back in the film room—this time shifting their focus to the other side of the ball. In this Stripes & Sync installment, Anthony and Will turn the spotlight on the Bengals’ defense as it currently stands heading into the draft. From the trenches to the secondary, they break down each position group, evaluate the current depth chart, and highlight the strengths, question marks, and potential weak spots that could shape Cincinnati’s defensive identity in 2026. How solid is the defensive line rotation? Are the linebackers built to handle today’s offenses? And what should we make of the secondary as it stands right now? With the draft looming, the guys also connect the dots between the current roster and what needs to be addressed—laying out where the Bengals could look to reload or reinvent key areas of the defense. If you want a clear picture of where the Bengals’ defense stands before draft night, this is your pre-draft deep dive. Tap in, stay synced, and get ready for what’s next.
