He would only say the head coaching search is “ongoing.”

He reiterated the club’s future commitment to quarterback Andy Dalton, noting that he’s got plenty of years left beyond his deal that ends in 2020.

He says the game is changing and acknowledged the Bengals need to add more speed to their roster as well linemen on both sides of the ball, which he also says is business as usual. He estimates they’ll have 11 draft picks and could see them doubling up at a position like linebacker.

Goes into some tidbits about coaching search. But didn't break any new ground.

I don't necessarily agree with his take on not needing to know who the coaches are to scout prospects. Scheme can come into play, so it's important to know what scheme fits they are looking for.

Thanks, interesting thread. I just think Duke is just spouting what he needs to. He knows Taylor is going to be the HC and i am sure they had an in depth discussion on what type of scheme they are wanting to run and what players would be best suited for said scheme.

Need to load up at Linebacker and in the trenches, especially O-line.

I think the team's priorities are being adhered to, finally some professional accountability.
