Strictly Stripes: A Cincinnati Bengals podcast Andrew Gillis, Mike Niziolek and Mohammad Ahmad

You probably guessed the top of the list for the Top 25 Bengals for 2023.
Joe Burrow rounds out the list with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Shocker, right?
But could D.J. Reader and/or Orlando Brown have made a case to beat out Higgins at No. 3 list?
In the final-ever edition of the Strictly Stripes Podcast, Mohammad Ahmad breaks down the top-three on the list and reads through the rest of the fan responses.
To all of our listeners, thank you for everything.

Training camp is right around the corner.
The Bengals are exactly a week away from their first practice of training camp. There's no shortage of roster battle and new faces on defense who will look to set their marks early.
How many offensive linemen do the Bengals keep? Which backup wide receivers will make the team? Will we see first-team reps for rookie Chase Brown?
Special guest Mike Petraglia joins the Strictly Stripes Podcast to look at how the Bengals' philosophy has shifted in the Joe Burrow era and what that means for training camp.

Experience meets youth.
Bengals veteran wideout Tyler Boyd is No. 9 on our Top 25 Bengals for 2023. Meanwhile, Logan Wilson, now entering his fourth season, is hanging tight at No. 10. Both players are worthy of being top-10 players.
But does experience matter more than youth in these rankings?
Boyd will turn 29 this year as he enters his eighth season while Wilson continues ascending. They'll each be entering contract seasons, meaning more eyes will be on both of them.
The Strictly Stripes podcast compares and contrasts the potential for Boyd and Wilson.

The Bengals' defense isn't the same without Sam Hubbard.
Hubbard provides no shortage of big time moments for the Bengals and is primed to continue doing so in 2023. That's why he's No. 11 on the Top 25 Bengals for 2023.
But should those big time moments have him ranked up higher on the list?
He's entering his sixth year with the team and will have an increased leadership role. His role will be critical in fueling the Bengals' hunger for another trip back to the Super Bowl.
The Strictly Stripes crew looks at what Hubbard is capable of and what he can do to continue boosting his profile and stock in 2023.
