  1. How about this - Byron Murphy lined up more in the A gap than he did B gap the last two years. That very well could be your Reader replacement. I have my doubts he’s going to make it though.
  2. They don’t necessarily have to get another big guy to hold up against the run. They just need guys who can shoot gaps and less Zach Carter honestly. He was on the field for some absurd amount of their long runs given up. There was a graphic floating around today showing quite a few teams in the NFL don’t have a guy over 310 and were in the top 10 in stopping the run. They just need two more decent to good bodies to get a good rotation going.
  3. Really no need to worry about Becton. Could very well be waiting for the draft to play out to make sure he’s not going to get drafted over. This next deal is going to be a prove it deal and he can only prove it if he isn’t on the bench and there’s a greater possibility than not they’re going T at 18.
  4. If they franchise him again next year I think I’ll rip my hair out. If you are going to guarantee two years in full - why not do it now and get an extra two years of control. I think it’s certainly possible. But it will be frustrating and probably a signal that things are changing as much as we would hope or they’re cash poor.
  5. 3.14 is steak and blowjob day. Hopefully Pollack is ready to seal the deal..
  6. Sheldon is another 3T. DJ is still in play. Might just mean Murphy/Newton are no longer in play. Probably takes us out of play for Fuller but maybe in play for Q.Mitchell in the draft.
  7. if so, interesting he wouldn’t land back here. However he’s not a good fit for gap scheme. Chips are probably going to be in for Trent Brown?
  8. This should be expected and it’s going to suck. I think I’d rather see the Bengals overpay just on principle.
  9. And that is fair, and I think that’s the next progression in the offense. The Chiefs run 12, the Bills run 12, and the Ravens run a ton of 12. The NFL is starting to see that shift and the Bengals are lagging behind, but they are still looking at the tight ends that could give them the edge to run 12. 12 gives you seven guys on the line and the ability to double up both interior and edge as well as getting big athletic guys to the second level. Problem right now is they signed a tight end that has played 90% of his snaps split out and another tight end who doesn’t pose much of a receiving threat. It looks like another year of 11. They’ve done well enough with it, but you’re absolutely right. ADOT has fallen each year since they’ve signed Jamarr. They either get a slot who can burn that middle seam of T2 or they start running it more efficiently.
  10. Dax is cooked. He’s nothing more than Tre Flowers at this point and they got reluctant to play Tre because it showed their hand.
  11. Sure. But until they run the ball down the field better than they can throw the ball in chunks to Ja’Marr and Tee, they are going to see all kinds of T2 variations. It’s not going to happen overnight and signing a tight end like G shows they still do not care about getting bigger guys on the field to block. And really until they can get some athletic lineman to run outside zone, they’re going to be running into the teeth of the biggest guys on the field. You want to have the ability to run away from those guys and at light edges, corners, and safeties. If they draft Bowers or Sinnot, it would signal a shift in philosophy. I think they’re content to run 11 and nickel and dime teams down the field and throw the ball to their new big slot receiver.
  12. Armstead 10th last year in pass-rush win rate. Not sure it would fix the atrocious run defense but would certainly help fix the explosives problem.
  13. Chew on this for a second. The Bengals don’t give a shit about running the ball. They have the most accurate quarterback in the league. They would probably throw it 100% of the time if they could. Until they dedicate the appropriate resources to it, they are going to be running their offense out of 11 personnel and letting the short passing game and RPOs be their primary run game.
  14. Bengals are taking on $2m in dead cap to not have Joe Mixon play for them all while trading him to a team that should be in the playoffs. I think that should tell you to know. They didn’t need the additional cap either.
  15. Guessing Brock still hasn’t hit the time he wants to in his training. Can’t see a scenario where he doesn’t test at all before the draft. If he doesn’t - he’s going to be in the realm of possibilities.
  16. https://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2023/4/10/23621050/bengals-full-season-film-review Here’s a really good article on how they run their offense against different coverages. Until they can establish the run, they’re going to see a lot of Tampa 2. They might look predictable but Joe is just so good at identifying what variations of Tampa teams are running. In terms of the guys they added - they got more athletic which is something they lack both at skill positions and offensive line. Geisicki in particular should be a weapon against T2 and beating the MLB in their deeper drop and helping them present 12 personnel at times to keep teams from disguising coverages. They need another man coverage beater. I’m hoping that comes in the form of a day 2 pick this year.
  17. Bengals trading draft picks for a player? Not happening. Especially not for one who is going to set a record for guaranteed money for a non-QB. Hopefully one day down the road though if he gets cut.
  18. The extra comp pick seems like a perfect spot to grab a young guy with wheels. They could even start running some wide zone concepts they couldn’t run with Joe. They’ll probably need a right tackle who can move a bit though. Jon Brooks/Marshawn Lloyd/Trey Benson.
  19. This dude is how you bludgeon C2 and C3 looks.
  20. Love this. Wanted this to happen last year. guessing the one year deal is G trying to get the Burrow bump and cash in next year. He’s going to be so nasty split out.
