HOF dan Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I saw that article too. In his defense (pun intended), by the time we got him in here, he barely had time to learn the names of his backers and read a few scouting reports for the draft. I was encouraged after reading this piece and I hope it's spot on and not just some filler for the website. I must say, reading this along with references to an active free agent period (I know, I know.....believe it when we see it) AND drafting Joe Burrow has me getting the kool-aid pitcher out.

Regardless of who is at QB, shoring up the LB corps would go a long way to getting this team back in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of training camp the LB's names were Shit, Crap and Garbage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could plateau or regress as easy as he progresses. But at least he has potential, unlike any other LB on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I'm thinking about having a vigil for them to get rid of Vigil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will bring back AJ, Vigil, & Dennard then say they were very active in free agency. I know this isn't your first Bengals offseason....

spicoli Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody out there gives Vigil a starting gig and a pretty decent contract. I can’t imagine the Bengals are going to be willing to give him starters money. He’s as good as gone, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him most of whatever Pacman Jr was due for the year. I think not having one of the highest paid veterans on defense arguing with the refs every time he gets beat might help this culture thing they keep talking about, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After every play? Besides which he's a flag factory, average at best, & they're about to pay him around $12 million this year. They can't keep rewarding shitty, undisciplined players and expect the team to be anything but shitty and undisciplined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or care for that matter. I get no sense of urgency from the team. Which is why they extend players like DreK or Hart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
