3YPC-(WK5-CIN @ MIA) Episode 9.578

How have you experienced, and I'm going to start with, and we are going to get into previewing Bengals Dolphins.

which I thought was going to be much more interesting than it's turning out to be because somehow in Cincinnati, they miraculously cure concussions that should kill normal people.

Or would keep like dolphins out for like four or five weeks or end careers.

But, you know, Jamar Chase is running around practice today.

So that's bad news.

So we'll get into that in the second half.

But in the first half, we're just going to talk a little dolphins here.

How have you taken in these games so far? I'll

be honest, Alf.

I've enjoyed this season quite a bit, actually.

As much as you can enjoy an 0-4 season to start off with, I guess your perspective all depends on what your expectations for this team was going into the season.

I didn't think...

this was going to be a good team, right? I think at one point I predicted five victories.

I'm probably going to go under on that after watching them play for four games.

But I think if you're looking for the right things, there have been some encouraging signs.

I really like the play of a lot of the rookies.

Caden Proctor has looked really good.

Chris Johnson over the last couple weeks has looked good after a rocky start.

Jacob Rodriguez looks like a star in the making.

Even guys like Michael Taff have had their moments.

So I think if you were expecting a competitive squad this year, then yeah, you're probably pretty disappointed in what you've seen so far.

But if you knew that this was more of a bad medicine year, they're operating at 40% of the cap.

And if you were just looking for them to lay a solid foundation like I was, then it hasn't been all too disappointing.

It's actually been encouraging at times.

And I think this last game against the Minnesota Vikings should leave you feeling even more encouraged heading into the rest of the season.
