Bengals need a player like that if true.
He makes a positive difference .
Hot off the presses
B/R suggests Bengals dish $50M contract to key free agent
The Cincinnati Bengals feel like a team about to make another big splash in free agency.
After all, while boasting droves of cap space after the Tee Higgins franchise tag, the Bengals have a host of needs to address.
Chief among those is the defensive line, so it’s fitting that Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport suggests the Bengals go and get their best team fit, Leonard Williams:
Leonard Williams isn’t the best defensive tackle hitting the market in 2024. He’s just the best interior lineman with a real shot at leaving—Chris Jones of the Chiefs, Justin Madubuike of the Ravens and Christian Wilkins of the Dolphins will probably be extended and/or tagged by their current teams.
The projected contract on that deal? Three years and $50.5 million, with $36.5 million registered as guaranteed.
Williams, a former top-10 pick, just put up four sacks over 10 games in Seattle and has that interior pass-rush burst the Cincinnati defense needs.
What’s especially important for the Bengals to find is versatility and depth in addition to pass-rush ability. DJ Reader is a free agent and injured, leaving B.J. Hill as the most productive interior player. Williams, even at that price tag, would be a big upgrade.
******ummmmm... no

Sprint to the podium then hope he beats out Volson on the first day of camp? Let him take over at C (or not) when the time comes.
So much this minus beating out Volson without seeing how Volson has improved in the off season.
Volson, Karras, Cappa... can any kick outside and play ORT?
Trade up in Round 2 for the best OT remaining?
Our annual free agent rent-a-tackle?
But, yeah, if Bowers and Mims are gone... this is that guy.
If all three are gone... trade down.
Whatever, I really don't want to see him going to Pittsburgh but I think
a real possibility of them trading up to get him
-
Bowers won't slide that far
and Pittsburgh would trade up for Powers-Johnson
if they think he's going to Jacksonville. Or... us if Mims goes
higher which he probably will.
So play the game... if Bowers and Mims are gone...
is Powers-Johnson > than the other OTs on the board?
The thought of him being a Squeel really gives me the willies.
Much rather see him here than there.

Townsend was a college teammate of McPherson. But we don't need to pay up for a punter, just get average from one. Whether it's Robbins, Chrisman, or someone else.
If we would sign him maybe they could both stay on the field and watch the half time show at the Super Bowl this year.
no
Well... unless they bring back Up With People

Should we consider it?
Absolutely. Likewise Araiza
Will they?
No. That would be admitting they screwed up.
Look how long we have carried Carman.

I'm down to looking at this year's draft as not who do we take first but who do we
take in the first and second rounds. Two of the guys listed below including wise trading up
would know it out of the park.
Mims,
Fuaga,
Latham,
Guyton,
Powers-Johnson (C-G for a decade ... besides Steels will sign him as the next
in their long list of killer Centers going all the way back to Webster... then Dawson and most recently Pouncy
WE need to do that... "Start with a Center" ~Paul Brown),
Murphy,
Jer’Z Newton,
Sweat
Maybe even some hocus pocus with trading in Round 3.
Top blocking tight end and make him a full back ala former TE Booby Clark?
But I see it as a two round draft, not just the first round.
(yeah, all 7 +2 comps but shore up the needs first)

Finding a RB that can run out of the shotgun still doesn't solve the QB sack issue.
You are still hacking at the branches and not the root.
You can't be talking abut our offensive line
We're constantly hearing about our fantastic free agents signing of Karras, Cappa and Brown Jr.
if they're that good why isn't Sixgun in the Pro Bowl and Joe Burrow in one piece for an entire season?
Can't all be Volson's fault.

What you just described is their need to run shotgun vs under center.
Run plays out of the shotgun gives Joe Sixgun more time to waddle up to the like. and
do a little dance before running into an O lineman and falling on his ass.

Yes, Mixon will be here.
He is a prime exhibit of the Bengals penchant
for pounding square pegs into round holes and
wondering what is wrong with the hole.
Blahblahblah... last year's stats.
The Cleveland game was a joke vs Cleveland's third stringers
some of whom won't be in the NFL this season.

Never a fan of CEH..
Apparently neither is KC.
Id rather go with Mixon than Dillon.
Dunno... what kind of chemistry could CEH, Joe and JaMarr recreate?
If cheap, kick the tires.

It's unfair to Araiza to group him in with rapists and women-beaters.
like Carman and Mixon, respectively?

Even if we signed Madubuike (Ha!) I'd still sprint o the podium if Murphy is still there. I'd even double dip later just in case. like peeps said.
cut BJ Hill said a few cap bucks

Everyone knows the only proper way to tank is sit your starting QB on his birthday 😆 🤣 😂
So you're saying if we get a Saturday game December 14 we sit Joe?

Thanks for posting. Just saw that and... rather like it and Gee-off's thinking and
would like to see it happen.
Would like to see how he thinks the rest of the first round will play out and into the second.
I would be happy with Murphy and trading up in the second for the best sliding O lineman out there.

I normally think it's a mistake to give up on a guy after 1 year, but I do want competition here at minimum
On 2/19/2024 at 3:56 PM, sparky151 said:Yeah, at least bring Chrisman back for camp. Or draft Tory Taylor.
Bring in Araiza.
Mixon smacked a girl when he was in college. (now he would have shot her)
Carman boinked a teeny bopper.
And this guy got off. I didn't read the full report but...

Yes. Told to me by a friend. : )

The 2021 SB season proved that good passing schematics can mask bad OL talent.
Last year the Bengals got away from their empty quick passing sets, and started to use 3 and 4 WR and ironically that brought more pass rush which they couldn't handle.
There's always two ways to 'skin the cat'. Forcing the defense to fall back and only rush 4 to cover your WR threats is one of those. But recently the Bengals rarely have 3 healthy WR targets and hardly ever 4 good ones.
So "fixing the OL" is also connected to fixing the WR options as they're symbiotically connected.
Also a phenomenal quarterback and super excellent receivers.
Surprised you didn't say that (intended as a compliment)

Why would you replace Cappa instead of Volson? Also why demote the best OL they've got in favor of starting a rookie? Seems to me it'd make a lot more sense to let the rookie start at guard if they beat out Volson and then move them to C if Karras leaves in free agency next year. That's a lot of "ifs", they've got to stop writing in draft picks as starters before they're even on the team.
Jackson Powers-Johnson is growing on me.
I think I read that Karras deal is up in 2024?
Be nice to have a Center with a year's OL experience waiting to step in.
