I definitely think Lawson would have with a healthy Reader all year. I don't think Lawson is any better than Hendrickson. A wash if anything. Definitely won't happen if they're forced to give big minutes to the the likes of Xavier Williams and Christian Covington again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Pittsburgh are allowed to have that type of player. Oddly, I really believe the Bengals would have taken Devin Bush Jr. in 2019 if the Stealers hadn't jumped in front of them.

I know they had two young backers in Wilson and Gaither.. They looked totally lost in assignments. Pratt improved as a pass defender of sorts later on on the season but cant tackle .. Is it too hard to learn wrap and role? I guess when you look at the unit as a whole what do you really expect of this meager group with no depth? To say Micah Persons would really help is understating his importance.. We arent taking Parsons though.. Maybe Im too harsh on Golden for what he has to work with..

Most of it is want-to and while I understand the team was in a tailspin & going nowhere, it's either in them or it isn't. Leon Hall was a textbook example of a sure tackler that wasn't also a penalty factory trying to knock people out. They can teach technique all day every day but when faced with an NFL RB coming at you full speed I think it's ultimately a matter of instinct. Most rational people are going to think FTS and try not to get trampled. It takes a certain mindsett to instead think "fuck that guy!" and throw yourself in their path. It's not something they measure at the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a bunch of unlabeled cans and we're trying to open them with a fork? It was a mix of rookies and scrubs, some of the rooks may also be scrubs but either way a solidly average vet would be a smart hire at this point. Someone along the lines of a Dhani Jones would at least create some sort of baseline to build around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I really feel like NFL coaches shouldn't have to worry about teaching guys to wrap and roll after 3 or 4 years of playing D1 college football. Maybe that's just me though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice to say the defense was pretty much 10-ply against anyone but the Stealers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clapton, I think it is hard to judge LBs as rookies, especially with a just okay at best DL and a guy in Lou could be one of the worst DCs in the league. Kuchleys are not common. I will judge them this year when they should be able to play more instinctively and not think so much. It is more difficult as as rookie on Defense than on Offense.

That’s usually what they did when Burrow was in there. Not nearly as much with Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
