Le Tigre Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 16 minutes ago, T-Dub said: The further they get beyond 30 the more likely they'll spend the season on IR instead, or just fall off. One year deals are great but it's a band aid, I think a younger guy on a longer deal makes sense when they've been awful at drafting OL. Of course. But from Mr Weston’s observance, the “young guy” may not have played much—so you get the annual chicken-and-egg experiences in Bengal Land. Some are OK..most are not. 1 Quote

Or, hear me out, or they could sign someone without the injury history. Enough with this Little Sisters of The Poor alms roster building stuff. If they want to provide for injured & troubled athletes I'm sure there are plenty of worthy charities they can support without making them part of their pro football team. 2 Quote
sparky151 Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 I'm not interested in signing a veteran RB unless they're a Henry or Barkley level player. Jovonte Williams isn't that. Every year colleges turn out plenty of players at some positions. RB is one of those positions. I'd rather use a 4th or 5th round pick on a RB and have him for 4 years than sign Williams. 3 Quote

Or maybe Murphy suddenly plays like a first round pick, I suppose that's still a possibility.. Quote
sparky151 Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 In Dehner's piece on what the Bengals will do with Hendrickson, it says Tobin thinks Murphy is going to be a good player, noting that he's in the middle of the pass rush efficiency metrics for players drafted in the first couple of rounds of the last 2 drafts. And that his pressure totals are low due to lack of playing time. Yeah, yeah, I know. But if Tobin is that delusional, we have a problem. 1 Quote

If not delusional than at least skewed. 2 Quote

You actually think KC OTs were anything but crap your wrong. Give me 5 OT tandems hat we're worse. They had to put Tunney at LT because they were lacking talent Reid has built an interior line that gives Patrick a cushion to deliver. 1 Quote
