I want to hear specifics but we’ll probably get a bunch of BS like ‘we’ll be the most prepared, most physical team’ blah blah.

Understood. To be fair though, it's only his second day on the job. What specifics are there that he can divulge?

He's talked already about the kind of offense he prefers and such. You'll likely get some more of that, but as far as details on players or coaches they might target, a lot of that stuff is fluid at this point.

The DJ they used to use for my high school dances always liked to play "Hair of the Dog".

Going from Christian music pregame to "Hair of the Dog" after is... interesting 😆

(granted, The band does have a biblical name)

Now you’re messing with a son of b!tch.

At a minimum, this type of thing is just good to gauge the general feel and direction of things.  

I imagine we'll get more into his vision, some big picture stuff beyond that short interview he had.  Expect to hear a lot of generalities and to players we already have, but I'm excited to see what other takeaways come from it.  If he came to his interview as prepared as it sounded, he could have a pretty strong plan in place.  Would love to hear what he sold to Tepper and what we should expect.    

Also--He's quite a different dude than Ron & Matt so it's going to be a different feel than we're used to from the HC.

Am oddly anticipating.  I think they may have actually gotten it right?  God I hope we got it right.

It will definitely feel like he's more in control of the moment and not this awe struck youngling or out of element college guy.  I think we'll definitely sense why Tepper/Fitt/Dan went in this direction in thinking about it in that regard.  He garners respect, people like playing for him and coaching with him.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
