Scribe Session 5.15.14: Draft Review Edition

Scribe Session returns in the wake of the wild weekend of additions in the Bengals draft. But this is not any ordinary edition of the podcast. This week the walls of oppression come tumbling down as two sides often pitted against each other come together for an overflowing cornucopia of knowledge and freedom. (Too much?)

Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com crosses over as we discuss each of the first five draft picks, the fallout from each and of course the always popular AJ McCarron-Andy Dalton dynamic.

Hobson and myself have been at every major event from the combine to the NFL league meeting in Orlando to every press conference and every draftee interview. Only makes sense to drop the competition for an hour and bring together all the information we've gathered in the process.

If you are only interested in McCarron, Dalton's contract and all things quarterback, you can scroll forward to the 30-minute mark as we dive head first into the popular topic.

Thanks to Geoff for coming on the podcast was a fantastic discussion that I think brings reality to light in what can be a league full of opinion and misinformation. You can read him at Bengals.com and follow on Twitter @GeoffHobsonCIN. You can follow me on Twitter @pauldehnerjr.

Scribe Session 5.5.14: Draft Spectacular

Scribe Session offers up the draft preview edition with three of the top national experts in analysis of this weekend's festivities at Radio City Music Hall.

After 10 minutes to open the podcast discussing the Bengals situation at No. 24 in the first round and divulging my change in who the team will select in the first round, we take to the phones.

From minutes 10-25 I chat with Rob Rang, senior NFL draft analyst for CBSSports.com, SportsXchange and NFLDraftScout.com joins and we delve deep into the options at linebacker as well as the options among the second and third-tier quarterbacks.

From minutes 25-40 I catch up with Nolan Nawrocki, who spent the last 10 years leading draft coverage for Pro Football Weekly, currently with NFL Media and author of exhaustive player analysis book 2014 NFL Draft Preview. He breaks down the top five corners, all options for the Bengals in the first round.

The spectacular closes out with Dane Brugler from minutes 40-55. Dane is a draft analyst for CBSSports.com, NFLDraftScout.com and author of NFL Draft Guide. He breaks down quarterbacks and more fits of the Bengals.

Make sure you follow these guys on Twitter during the draft coverage for all the analysis you need and more as the Bengals picks begin rolling in (@robrang, @dpbrugler) and track Nolan at NFL.com.

Scribe Session 4.15.14: Josh Katzowitz Edition

The podcast tour continues this week as I reach out to Austin, Texas and CBSSports.com national football blogger for Eye On Football Josh Katzowitz. He's a former Bengals reporter for CBS and also spent six years in Cincinnati, including time at the old Cincinnati Post.

We chat about the Andy Dalton situation and draft possibilities. Plus, since Katzowitz wrote an E-book on Johnny Manziel following his Heisman trophy campaign, we take a deeper look into the NFL future of Johnny Football.

We also roll out the Blaine Gabbert joke book, consider a Bald Men In The Media Roundtable Podcast and suggest Josh head up the Faith No More fan club page.

Much thanks to Josh joining from Texas and make sure you check out the Eye on Football blog at the link here.

Scribe Session 3.31.14: Advanced Stats Edition

The podcast tour continues this week as I reach out to Wisconsin and Pro Football Focus Bengals correspondent and media liason Jake Liscow.

What we saw during free agency was the latest wave of acceptance of advance stats in pro football. PFF has served as the leader of that movement. They break down the video of every game and every player to excruciating detail. Jake does a fantastic job with the Bengals ratings, grades and advanced stats.

We chat about the evolution of advanced football stats, interesting analysis on Bengals players, I played audio from Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis in Orlando and we take on the Andy Dalton topic.

Much thanks to Jake for taking time to join me on the phone and make sure you head over to check out his work and all the great football coverage at Pro Football Focus.

Scribe Session 3.14.14: Mo Egger Edition

In the first post-Joe Reedy edition of Scribe Session I hit the road for Montgomery to chat with ESPN1530/700 sports radio host Mo Egger. 

We run the gamut of news topics to hit the Bengals this week including the flurry of free agency, loss of Anthony Collins, missteps with Andrew Hawkins and thoughts on the intriguing question about extending Andy Dalton. 

We also discuss Mo's fanboy obsession with Bruce Springsteen, Cliff's Notes Vegas stories and the Real Housewives of Kenwood.

Scribe Session 2.28.14: Pass The Torch Edition

In the final podcast for Bengals beat writer Joe Reedy before he moves home to join Fox Sports Ohio covering the Indians, the torch is officially passed to now full-time Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr.

For the first 30 minutes we discuss the state of the Bengals as Reedy leaves the beat after five years, the outlook on free agency, the draft and next season. In the final 45 minutes we run down the best of Scribe Session, including counting down our top five moments in a year of weekly ridiculousness.

In the final 10 minutes Reedy offers his final farewell to readers, co-workers and everyone else he came across during his 8 1/2 years at The Enquirer and signs off in the only fitting way we can.

Thanks to everyone who listened, fear not, the podcast will continue to go on as Joe moves forward. Keep an eye out for the next wave of Scribe Session in the coming weeks.
