Paul, lounging on a cabana chair with a mai tai in his right hand and his microphone in his left at some beachy escape, reports for duty while on vacation (does this guy ever take time off)? He and Jay discuss the league's controversial off-season training program. Why are so many teams opting out? Is there a party more 'at-risk' than offensive linemen? The guys share the latest from rookie minicamp, including Trent Taylor presumably assuming kick-off return and slot receiver duties for Cincinnati. Why isn't Darius Phillips getting a shot at returner? Ja'Marr Chase is taking his Cincinnati-'Welcome to America' moments one day at a time. Plus, Jay is a teacher's pet, and we name last week's Growler winners!
