Sirius Interviews

[*bfine32*]

Solly and Todd Haley were breaking down the AFC North this morning. They interviewed Paul Dehner, with focus on the draft. Highlights:

Chase allows Joe to work more empty set (quick winners)

Unsure who was going to play where if they took Sewell

Pitts was very much in the conversation. They didn’t want to be known as the organization that passed on Pitts

Carman immediate plan is in the interior but not ruling out potential move back to OT

Michael Jordan was a huge reason we moved from Turner to Pollack. Team loves MJ’s raw tools

Joe Mixon loves the blocking scheme Pollack employs

Focus on edge was to select players (draft/FA) that are “relentless”. Tired of players taking plays off (looking at you Dunlap).

Hope is Ossai is next Lawson

Solly's thoughts:

Last December was the first time in forever that he saw the Bengals "out physicaled" the Steelers and feels the draft/FA continues that trend.

Thinks the re-sign of Pollack is underrated. Rare to see players so excited about a returning coach.
