March 12, 20241 yr comment_1740467 I've also never been a fan of RB by committee, you usually end up with a couple of guys who are mid and cant do anything for you when you need a running game.

Teams always say “RB by committee” but rarely does one guy not emerge as the main horse.

Not always, and that's the stuff that worries me. But again I am of the opinion that RB here isnt the issue, it's a lack of a good run blocking Oline

March 12, 20241 yr comment_1740539 The extra comp pick seems like a perfect spot to grab a young guy with wheels. They could even start running some wide zone concepts they couldn’t run with Joe. They’ll probably need a right tackle who can move a bit though. Jon Brooks/Marshawn Lloyd/Trey Benson.

I'd probably wait this year but wouldn't be against it. You really want Moss and Brown to get the most snaps. If you draft a guy this year you are basically killing a year of his rookie contract for nothing if not 2. You do it next year that limits it.
March 12, 20241 yr comment_1740569 Brooks would be the top RB in this class if he hadn't gotten hurt. So he probably needs a redshirt year anyway. I wouldn't object to taking him at the end of the 3rd round.
March 12, 20241 yr comment_1740594 Well, I was 100% wrong about cutting Mixon and that is a good thing. I thought the Mike Brown "we should honor the contract" thing would still be present but the organization is now (finally) past that. Of interest, on Sirius NFL yesterday, Mike Lombardi said RB's in todays offenses have to do 3 things in THIS order - pass block, pass catch, run. I like this move (two moves)...

In the years before “tampering period”, the Bengals (or the media) would always use the expression “wait until the dust settles”. Since we all knew that first-day free agency was never in their plans, the leftovers after Days 1 and 2, were going to be the ones who didn’t “get what they wanted”. These are actually the vast majority of FA’s Now that “official free agency” is set to begin, actual face to face negotiating will take place. The days of “Player X scheduling visits with Teams A/B/C” are upon us. I expect Jonah to be one of those “scheduling visits”.
