|High School Harry| 2,952 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Bengals hosted former draft pick Margus Hunt on visit Chris Roling 21 hours ago The Cincinnati Bengals remain plenty active in seeking out defensive help in free agency. Cincinnati’s latest move on this front, interestingly enough, involved bringing on Margus Hunt for a visit this week ahead of the team’s Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts, per the NFL’s transaction wire. Hunt, a second-round pick by the Bengals in 2013, hasn’t played for the organization since 2016. He spent three seasons with those Colts, then popped up for a few games with the New Orleans Saints this season. While a slow starter with the Bengals because of how new he was to the sport, Hunt has carved out a nice career for himself as a versatile defensive lineman. This visit, if not just trying to get some intel on the Colts for this weekend’s game, at least partially comes in response to losing D.J. Reader to injured reserve. The team had previously worked out free agent Xavier Williams and signed him to the active roster, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PatternMaster 830 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Hard pass, he has zero pass rush and he's just not that good. Since the front office is bringing in players why don't they get some competition for the o line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaximumSam 10 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 I was watching a Saints game the other day and was shocked that he was still in the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He will fit in with this bunch immediately. He will be the Alex Redmond of Defense. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it bad that I wasn't immediately sure which player, coach, or FO person you were referring to? That's probably bad, right? (OK obviously they aren't paying any coach or FO schmuck $13.5M, that's probably more than their entire staff budget.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Said it before but coaches love a project, they all think they can unlock that potential. That's a great quality in a coach but a terrible one in a draft scout.

It is mind numbing he has made $13.5 mil during his career which can only be considered low end backup quality at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have to look for good interior lineman.. They know this now... Hell draft Wyatt Davis if hes all that and sign another "good" guard thats around his prime.. These "skilled" players are nice but with no run game or time to throw with any realistic hope of succeeding constantly is killing this team. Is there no hope???

"Potential" has been a four letter word and bane of the Bengals. John Ross and his useless potential make him the Margus Hunt of wide receivers. Apologies to Margus "Lurch" Hunt who I like. Can he get low enough and is he agile/flexible enough to play Defensive Tackle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UncleEarl 578 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I also have no problems drafting great athletes as projects, but later in the draft. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-Dub 7,564 Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 We shouldn't be counting on rookies, those guys need to be taking jobs away from the average of FA's that fill a pro roster. Whoever targeted our defensive FA's seems to have whiffed, too. Years of poor talent evaluation is crippling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
