On this week’s Who Dey Light, Mark is joined by Charlie for the first time on WDL. The two get into Dexter Lawrence’s leadership and how he’s acclimating and shoot down some Joe Burrow Rams speculation. They get into Erick All and how hyped we should be, and another sneaky fun OTA development. Charlie has some insight on the cornerback room and likelihood of extensions, and discuss whether Joe Burrow’s MVP odds are a good investment.
The two also take a listener question about great Bengals bars and which current player would someday make the best coach or GM.
It’s also a fun Charlie-lore episode, as we learn more about his professional journey, his Nickelodeon v. Disney takes, how his opinions on ghosts have evolved since the incident, his sports fandom side, and his advice for new grads.
