Who Is Jonathan Allen? The Bengals' New Defensive Anchor

Welcome back to another episode of Bengals On The Brain, presented by First Star Logistics! Joe Goodberry is diving into the recent moves made on day one of free agency by the Cincinnati Bengals. As expected, the Bengals have been active, and while I know the fanbase can sometimes get a little negative during the initial hours of the legal tampering period, I’m here to break down why we should be excited about their latest acquisitions, especially safety Bryan Cook.<br /><br />Every single year since 2020, people have gotten anxious, asking, "Why aren't the Bengals signing anyone?" Yet every year, the front office has successfully brought in multiple key contributors. This cycle is no different. Today, we’re focusing on a player Bengals fans are really excited about, a hometown kid in Cook.<br /><br />In this episode, we’re firing up the tape on Cook. He’s the safety who’s been closest to the action, playing up in the box and communicating with the linebackers, coming to us from the University of Cincinnati via the Kansas City Chiefs. We’re going to look at his ability to fill the run gap, his closing speed, and his technique. He’s a guy who grades out really well in PFF metrics—a top-10 safety—and is finally reaching that upper echelon of play.<br /><br />It’s an exciting time to be a Bengals fan. They look to be building a roster that is deeper and more technically sound than ever before. If you enjoy this deep dive into the tape, make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and hit that notification bell so you don't miss my upcoming breakdowns on the rest of the new signees.<br /><br />#bengals #cincinnatibengals #nfl #nflfreeagency #bryancook<br />#firststarlogistics #joegoodberry #bengalsonthebrain

Will The Bengals Make The Right Free Agency Moves in 2026?

First Star Media Group March 6, 2026 8:00 pm

Welcome back to Bengals On The Brain, presented by First Star Logistics! In Episode 238, host Joe Goodberry continues his deep dive into the 2026 NFL Combine results. After breaking down the defensive line and linebackers in the previous episode, Joe turns his attention to the secondary, highlighting the safeties and cornerbacks who could be game-changers for the Cincinnati Bengals in the upcoming NFL Draft.<br /><br />Looking for a career in logistics? Head over to FirstStarLogistics.com and click on "Join the Team." They are hiring and looking for agents in all cities!<br /><br />Joe kicks off the episode by revisiting a name he highlighted before the combine: Dillon Thieneman. The safety didn't just meet expectations; he shattered them with a blistering 4.37 40-yard dash. Joe discusses how Thieneman’s elite production, athleticism, and character have sent his draft stock soaring, with some experts now projecting him as high as pick 12 or 18. Can the Bengals afford to pass on a talent like this if he's available, or will he move up even higher on draft boards and out of range for the Bengals at the 10th pick? <br /><br />Next, Joe looks at the other names that stood out in the secondary at the combine and how they could play into the Bengals' hands in later rounds.<br /><br />Joe concludes the episode by weighing the Bengals’ options. With so much depth in the secondary and defensive line available in rounds two through four, does it make more sense for Cincinnati to use the 10th overall pick on an offensive tackle? <br /><br />Joe teases the next episode, where he will flip to the offensive side of the ball to evaluate the linemen who impressed at the combine.<br /><br />#Bengals #NFLDraft2026 #NFLCombine #CincinnatiBengals #WhoDey #DillonThieneman #BengalsOnTheBrain #FirstStarLogistics
