Rick Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I am close to pressing the panic button! We need to trade for a SOLID offensive tackle now! Get it done before the Thursday night game. (But don’t trade A.J. for the OT. Maybe, Andy?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is trading away a starter at this point of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turningpoint Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 We all need to calm down, people forget Bengals at Ravens in 2011?

Is this serious? 1. Suggs didn't exclusively play 1 side against 1 linemen in every game. You have no idea that this 1 specific pressure was even against Whit. 2. Even if it was, what does 1 pressure 6 years ago supposed to prove about Whitworth not being an All-Pro caliber LT? 3. Showing that Suggs pressured Andy and McPhee recorded a sack on Whit's side 6 years ago has absolutely jack shit to do with Cedric Ogbuehi being a horrible LT. I think some people can't admit they're wrong, instead they have INSANE rationalizations like this one. "Hey guyz, Suggs pressured Andy this one time, WHIT AINT SO AWESOME NOW HUH??? WHO WAS RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!" Fucking clown show around here sometimes. A "too old" Whitworth looked in All Pro form in LA while Ced was playing his best turnstile impression against the Ravens. That's all that needs to be known about the situation. The team fucked up by not giving Whitworth a 2-3 year deal, plain and simple. Teams make mistakes sometimes, it's going to happen, but they shouldn't be immune to criticism because of that fact. This was a big enough fuck up for people to have some room to bitch about. 2 plays that happened 6 years ago changes none of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the FO and coaching staff knew that Ced would have to play a few future HOFers this year so either thought he is up to the task or they are cheap(FO) and incompetent(coaching staff).

The issue is that it isn't like comparing Andy Dalton to Tom Brady. There's no possible way for our team to obtain Tom Brady so it's pointless to talk about it. Andrew Whitworth, current All-Pro caliber LT was on our roster the year prior and willing to re-sign with us. THAT is my issue. The team should have given Whit a 3 year deal with an out after 2 (just like the Rams did) and locked up our left side of the line for a couple more years while continuing to develop Ced or admitting their mistake with Ced and drafting another OT to develop. Not keeping Whit around could be one of the biggest mistakes this franchise has ever made, and that's saying a lot. Whitworth giving up a sack to McPhee 6 years ago means nothing to the discussion of whether it was a mistake to let Whit walk or not. It was clearly a mistake and most of us have been saying it since even before it happened that it would be a huge issue if we don't re-sign him.

bengals7833 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 If nothing else whit should have been franchised. This front office and coaching staff is a joke. You have hands down the worst oline in the NFL and your first two draft picks are skilll position players. When your best olineman is boiling who average to slightly above average and then the drop off of the next 4 is enormous. Anyone with any common sense seen this coming. Oh yeah let's not forget the one and only free agent OL signed Andre "no other team in the NFL wants me" smith. It's a joke they might as well go wildcat Thursday night or dalton may die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
