Every off-season program with no injuries is a success. This is a marathon not a sprint. They plan to be playing until February.

Actually he looks soft and ridiculous ...

Hot Take: updated running tiger > leaping tiger

Nice... Burrow comparing this years team to the LSU championship team. I am telling you, and I have been saying for a few months that the Bengals will win the super bowl this year.

Nahhh...JB is 5-2 in playoffs. Pretty dayum good record actually. For the record, Allen is 8-7, Lamar is 3-5. Herbert is 0-3, hence the graphic.

Well, if you have a guy that can Block and Receive then you can have that scenario. We call him All!!!

Yeah, for the most part it's a group of one-trick ponies. I have some long-range hope for Jack Endries joining All as a blocking-receiving combo who can line up anywhere, but probably not as a rookie. At the moment Endries is most notable for possibly, eventually, becoming the only player in NFL history to catch passes from 3 different QBs drafted number one overall. TE is probably considered one of the most difficult positions to transition from college to the NFL. Some of the best TEs in the NFL didn't do much as rookies. Combo TE heavy teams like the Rams and the Bears will draft one in the 2nd/3rd rounds and then not give them many offensive snaps as rookies. Just the nature of the position where you have to line up all over the place, then be able to run/pass block and then also be a threat as a receiver. Usually, rookie TEs are either strong blockers or strong receivers, then have to develop the weakness in their games to at least average. Guys like Sample/Gesicki/Hudson have yet to do that even after so many years in the league. At this point it seems pretty obvious that they never will.

A fast start is the most important thing. With the rest of the division having new coaches it will take them time to get their playbooks down, we HAVE to take advantage of that and get out to a division lead early

Getting a jump on this early ... 💍

no way, he routinely shut down the best pass rushers in the NFL, gave up maybe one sack a year, AND put a spine into what was, again, a very soft team.

Not only is it a death sentence it's a horrible way to go. Auto immune diseases are rising like crazy

Exactly ...

My thoughts exactly. It seems like he is good for a least one PI call every time the plays the Bengals.

Who the fuck has Joey Porter Jr "shut down" besides visits from CPS growing up?

Now that Roethlisberger has been out of the NFL for a full league year, you can apparently customize his jersey in a manner that was previously prohibited by the NFL Shop website.

This defense will be so much better ... LamaRB better get his running shoes on 👟

We have gotten a lot of clarity about All’s knee surgery history in the last couple weeks. As All explained the chain of events in 2024 that led him to missing 1.5 years in recovery, I realized that I had a lot of it wrong. I get on the Bengals for doing things the cheap way, but to their credit they sent All to one of the most renowned knee specialists in the country once their own doctors realized the complications. I had always guessed that All had a chronic knee problem. A natural assumption, I guess, since he needed to have 3 knee operations over the course of about 15 month and was unable to play for such an extended period of time. But it turned out that if knee surgery #1 had been handled properly while in college, both knee surgeries 2 & 3 would have been unnecessary. Surgery #2 was basically to “undo” everything done in surgery #1 at Iowa. That’s how badly it was bungled. The specialist also told All that because the knee was so wobbly and unstable from the “unsuccessful” Iowa surgery, another ACL tear was always inevitable. So after the specialist erased the Iowa surgery and allowed 3 months for healing, he went back into All’s knee and did the ACL surgery properly. So even though All was put through an unnecessary hell by an incompetent college surgery, the specialist repaired his knee back to normal. Back to where it was before he tore in ACL in 2023. Good as new now. If the college surgery had been done correctly, there’s every reason to believe he would have played 2 full seasons for the Bengals by now.

6 week rest and relax No injuries..

... I would say the offense at least is better.

RT 🧡 🖤 RG

Risner looks like he should be chewing tobacco and calling everybody "Son".

Nepotism on steroids...

Not sure he really trusts him but what's he supposed to say? Big prove it year for him

Even though they didn't add technically add to the LB room this offseason, they did bring in several impact players to assume certain LB roles. Howell is listed as a small DE at 6-3, 255, but his body type is no accident. Golden says that Howell can be a 4-2 edge, an outside linebacker in a bigger front (five defensive linemen) or a dropper into coverage. Instead of Knight being out of position and lining up on the edge in 2026, the Bengals can smoothly slot Howell into that position and benefit from having a SAM linebacker who can still get after the QB. Kyle Dugger is a big safety at 6-2, 220 pounds. He has experience playing LB, strong safety, free safety and even nickel corner (doubt if he will be asked to cover a small slot WR this year though.) His role will likely depend on the type and number of TEs the opposition uses in their offense. So much of what Golden is trying to do with Howell/Dugger is to limit mismatches with inline and slot TEs. If Golden is trying to match up against a 260 lb Sample TE type, then Howell might be across from him. If they are going up against a Gesicki style of TE, then Dugger would likely be the matchup counter. If the offense employs a smaller shifty slot WR, then maybe it will be Jalen Davis in as a nickel corner. If the opponent uses an oversized WR3 like Iosivas/Cobie Young, then maybe the oversized 6-4, 195 lb Tacario Davis is in the game. Golden has already said that TDavis might be used as a rookie in this role. There will likely be some situations where only one of Knight/Carter are on the field at the same time. The traditional LB roles are slowly being deemphasized all over the NFL.

The season can't come soon enough ...
