BENGALS SQUAD SHOW: Is Zac Taylor being SCAPEGOATED? Pass rush is PRIORITY, Trey Hendrickson FUTURE, Wild Card TAKEAWAYS

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, no question, has his flaws. However, he has gotten the Bengals to two AFC Championships and a Super Bowl. That proves he can coach when he has a full deck of cards. That begs the question: Is Zac Taylor being scapegoated by the Bengals' front office? 

Alex Frank, Jake Liscow and Art Valero discuss that topic. 

This past weekend in the Wild Card round of the Playoffs, we saw teams like the Patriots and Texans win with their ferocious pass rushes. It coincides with Bengals' Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin saying the Bengals need to beef up the pass rush and the defensive line. How do the Bengals do that? Who are the players the Bengals should be targeting in free agency? 

Trey Hendrickson's time with the Bengals is up... right? The guys discuss his legacy in Cincinnati and who could be his replacement. 

Finally, Alex, Jake, and Art discuss what else they saw this weekend in the Playoffs and how they relate to the Bengals. Are they in the best shape of any team in the AFC North?
