He's been bad this year, IMO. I think PFF grades him decently, but watching he seems to be out of position a LOT. Now, he's not play as bad as Sims who will line up 10 yards off of a WR on 3rd & 1, but he's not playing well IMO. Some of that could be due to lack of a pass rush so it's hard to tell.

Griever Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Some great film here, plus Baldy's commentary is pretty funny. You may have to watch in the actual YouTube app though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even notice at times QBs are targeting him a bit. I would 100% still like the Bengals to re-sign him but I don't think this has been his best showing. The Bengals, in my opinion, have a very short list of "must re-signs" over the next two offseasons but, he's still on mine along with Jessie Bates.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 The salary cap will be a big issue this off season, it will likely reduce the value for all free agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's due at the end of the season. I like him but fear he's more smoke than fire too much of the time. Not lining up in the neutral zone is something you learn the first day in Junior High football and he has done it twice in the NFL in the last two weeks. I noted before that he was doing it vs Cleveland several times before he was flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be too hard on the secondary when you've got a patchwork DL unit that can generate ZERO pass rush. It all starts up front with the two back units being greatly influenced by the front one.

I noted before that he was doing it vs Cleveland several times before he was flagged. I agree with you. I am somewhere in the middle with him. My preference would be for him to stay. He's only 25 and has certainly shown some interesting flashes. As I mentioned in another post, he gets a heck of a lot of QB Hits which I'd like to see turn in to sacks. Probably comes down to dollars for me. Is he a keep at all cost? Definitely not. On a reasonable contract? Sure, absolutely. Same would go for Mackensie Alexander, Brandon Wilson, Randy Bullock, Mike Daniels and Auden Tate. My other "gotta sign" would be Sam Hubbard.

I think all told they've done a solid job, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I actually really like Alexander. Not a superstar by any means but he's a sticky little dude in coverage and he's definitely not afraid to stick his nose in there in the run game. That was a really solid signing for them, IMO.

As Jamie said, he will still have two seasons left on his contract and will be back next season. I think with him and the existing group that played this year, I'd be comfortable with the secondary. Vonn Bell has struggled in pass protection but, again, overall the group has played well with little support from the pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they dont have to cover nearly as long as our Dbacks do.. With pressure up front our guys would look every bit as good as theirs.. Jesus we need a couple bonavide pass rushers next year..

Yeah unless you get a chance at Sewell in the draft (highly unlikely at this point) finding a pass rusher has to be the number one priority, IMO.
