They not only need to spend it, they need to spend it on the right guys.

Like the Bengals , Bud Light still trying to get themselves out of a self dug hole.

He does not take the blame becuse the draft board is a 'consensus'. Build a consensus with no single person accountable, it is the Bengals scouting staff MO. "Mr. Borown, we did our best but those picks did not work out" "I know, but keep trying"

According to PFF, 85% of his snaps were at DE.

It really depends on how the top WR's fall IMO. If one or two are taken before us then someone very good falls to us. If no WR's are taken then we are left with either WR, OT or trade down. And there may be a trade market for either of those.

Not sure you take a DE at 10 and move him to a new position? Seems like a plan waiting to fail. How about letting him roll at DE and if things are not as planned then move to plan B. Did someone here also suggest moving SHEmar to 3T?

Maybe we should say Dufus will 'attack from the fringes'?

Dufus with a C and Mikey with a D - nothing to see here folks, just move on....

Why is it news when players at the combine meet with teams given that is one of the main purposes of the combine? Not to mention, every meeting goes well (of course). Would be funny to hear some teams reps say they met with some players who were dumb as fucking rocks.

Tobin speak is hilarious. He might as well have said "The high picks I wasted on DT's will still be thrown out on the field until thier contracts expire".

Tobin quote: “We have resources to attack the offseason in a big way, and we want to do that in terms of how we’re going to do that…how we’re going to allocate our resources He talks like Kamala Harris...we want to do that in terms of how we are going to do that? I suppose we should remain hopeful that this years attack plan is with a pit bull and not a minature poodle

LOL...he was not exactly "all in" last season

I thought we did run simple stuff early on then got more complex later on. I seem to recall in the preseason we showed little so as not to let teams know our systems and then we just continued showing nothing. Either way, complete fail on D from the DC down.

Past the first pick this is a very wide open draft. Based on what I think the Bengals draft MO is - they will pick Wooods at 10. They have been looking for a disruptive 3T for years and if nothing else they follow thier own board with no outside pressures given all their jobs are safe. Some may see a pick like that as a reach or a gamble but the bengals never see it that way.

Agreed. It took years just to get a reasonable 5 players on the OL lets alone any depth and now they want to 'see whats out there"? Nonsense, the guy should already be signed so they can then look for depth spots on the OL. It is the definition of a no-brainer.

If , big if, Murphy plays like he did in the last half of the season he is essentially there. Stewart is a complete unknown - could he great next year or never.

For Murphy it is or was clearly a motivation issue. For Stewart it seems to be a football IQ issue.

If this any consolation, a kidney transplant is the easiest and most successful of the organ transplants. My wife had to have a liver transplant 20 years ago (auto immune thing).

A suppose one concern with locking up Hill and Turner is how long and how much effort it seems to take internally to do these size of deals. Like last off season it could once again paralyze the team in terms of other signings.

Didn't the Bengals do that one year with either Dalton or maybe Kitten Mittens?

Yup, there is always time and when you run out there is always next year....

To me the issue is this - if you are a small market team AND you actually want to win you have to do some things BETTER than the large market teams. Not as good as and not less than. Otherwise you will have trouble to attaining and retaining players and when it comes to side issues like family spaces then the players wife’s start getting in their ears. It is about creating a winning environment which this team does not strive to do. They can talk about doing it but we know they are simply full of shit. Like the explanation Dufus made about a small scouting staff being better for consensus; this is absolute nonsense. He later defaulted to “well it is Mr. Brown’s team”. And that is all we need to say and remember. The league is a Porsche and he runs the Lumina.

If only that short period of time was the norm for this team instead of the rare. They need to repeat that type of offseason work but there is little indication they have the ability to do so. And we do still have the Golden Showers issue.

Two early trades down

We are in full off-season attack mode now!!!
