Bengals training camp is almost here, and Dan Hoard is every bit as excited as the fans.
In this special episode of the Rule the Jungle Podcast, Anthony and Will welcome back the radio voice of the Cincinnati Bengals for an in-depth conversation about the team’s aggressive offseason and expectations for the 2026 season.
Dan explains why the blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence may be Cincinnati’s most significant move in decades, what immediately stood out about the All-Pro defensive tackle during offseason workouts and why the Bengals’ collection of proven veterans could allow the revamped defense to come together quickly.
The conversation also explores the national narrative surrounding Cincinnati’s offensive line, the importance of returning the same five starters, Amarius Mims’ Pro Bowl potential and why the group’s strong finish last season should not be overlooked.
Dan also shares his thoughts on Al Golden’s defense, the development of Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight, Cassius Howell’s potential as a pass-rush specialist, the crowded defensive tackle room and several important training-camp competitions.
Has Cincinnati finally assembled the complete roster needed to win its first Super Bowl? Dan Hoard believes many of the familiar narratives surrounding the Bengals could disappear very soon—but only a championship will silence them for good.
Get ready for training camp with one of the most recognizable and trusted voices in Bengals football.
