HOF dan Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Do you guys really think we needed to make a trade? Just curious, what thoughts are (were) out there? I know we have lots of needs but that really never crossed my mind as part of a viable solution. Oh yeah................................Subaru's are great!

OL help would be swell but who can we afford to give up that is also worth something? And realistically would a draft pick be better for the long term?

|High School Harry| Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Boling should be back after the bye week per Marvin. Now, if they will just get Redmon out of there and play Westerman I think that would be a big and immediate improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 It is wishful thinking that a viable o lineman would be available at the draft deadline unless he was openly demanding a trade. That said a decent one would cost an extraordinary amount draft pick wise. We certainly could have used a legit tight end. Not out of the question.

As much of a fan I am of Westerman, I can't help but wonder what the Bengals don't like about him. What am I missing ? His stats look great and his play is solid. To me that's more than I can say about many on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over my pointed little head, too. Redmon has become the Marvin Lewis of offensive (double meaning) linemen. Why is he still there? Why is Redmon still out there either holding or doing his excellent impersonation of a welcome mat into Andy's house?

And the Westerman thing is baffling. Maybe they just cant give up hope that their 1st and 2nd round players are busts or they are trying to prove how smart they are by playing an undrafted FA (Redmon).

SouthPaw Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Also, Joe Mixon is averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Not saying they dont look bad at times. Its just not as bad as i think many believe. Drops and lack of creativity have stalled many drives. Also, the defense gives up yards at literally a historic rate. Those are the reasons for the struggles that have occurred at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is good for an OL. I don't know much about OL rating, but it seems to be understated how well he's doing. At least it seems like he's filling in solidly.

I am sure someone has a stat about how well the team with the worst defense in the league ended up at the end of the season. We have given up an average of 35.7 points the last 3 games. Looking at ours, Baltiwhore's and Pittspuke's schedule I just don't see two teams making the playoffs out of our division. We could easily lose 4 of our next 5 if they don't fix the defense. New Orleans and the Chargers can score huge points. Denver lost twice to the Chiefs by a combined 7 points and to the Rams by 3, they are a very good 4-4 team. Baltimore has the #1 defense and #14 offense. Cleveland is Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah................................Subaru's are great! A belated reply ... water over the dam and under the bridge and 20/20 hindsight but Green Bay traded safety Ha Ha Clinton Dix for a 4th round pick. I think it would have been worth a 4th round pick to get Shawn of the Dead Williams off the field and pair Ha Ha up with Bates. Both young and we would have been solid there for a number of years to come. I know MikeandKatie would rather die than give up a 4th round pick but that would be a bird in the hand rather than two in the bush plus we will have our usual numerous comp picks this year to compensate. Losing 1st rounder Ogbuhei will get us something and someone is sure to pick him up to kick his tires and make him an all pro. Besides, we have a 3rd round draft pick from this year at a position where we are really hurting, linebacker, and he only plays special teams. Give him a shot. How much worse can Jefferson be than Nickerson? His speed might slow down an outside rusher long enough for someone else to come up and make a real tackle if nothing else. Right now Jefferson is virtually a wasted 3rd round pick on the bench while some guy who won't even be on the team next year flounders around on the field making the other teams highlight reels. Also, Ha Ha would make the Bengals All Name Team along with I.M. Hipp, Elvis Peacock, Kiki DeAyla and Samoa Samoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the bye week would be the best time to make coaching changes, but I guess Austin will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy gets rid of the ball quicker than anyone not named Brady & has gotten better at chucking them out of bounds or into the turf when no one is open. Think this is one of those misleading stats like the win % when the RB gets more than 20 carries or Betty White being undefeated in heavyweight bouts. The OL is still bad.
