The Cincinnati Bengals have made the AFC Championship in back-to-back seasons, and almost won a Super Bowl, but head coach Zac Taylor thinks that the upcoming season will feature the deepest roster he has coached since he began with the team.
Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com talked with Taylor after mandatory minicamp and here’s some of what he had to say:
“You just really kind of think through where the roster is at the 90-man and you are really encouraged from top to bottom. There are no players that don’t belong here. You can oftentimes get on a 90-man roster. But everyone belongs here and has a role and I’m excited to watch all these guys compete.”
Taylor said it’s tough to have a 53-man roster as good as he believes the Bengals’ could be and he gives credit to young players that have stepped up quickly and taken on large roles with the team.
“I think this team has really high-end starters and really talented depth,” Taylor said. “You feel like this thing is way ahead of where we’ve been years past. Especially from the first day I got here.”
