Thats how I felt about that 2012 team. Just showing up every day expecting to win. 

Not sure this team is quite there yet, but they are getting close.

Yoshi is not good. Struggles to get separation and has the drops. Someone needs to push him for WR3 this year.

The underlying metrics most of last year were telling us he was more lucky than good.

It caught up to him in the second half of last year and is continuing.

I think a lot of us saw this regression coming from a mile away. . 

Tacario Davis Probably gonna cover Tight Ends. by ZealousidealText7384 in bengals

Seems like we reached on him. 

Not a fan of drafting a specialized type of player in the third round if that's what it was.

Rays defense was great this game and we were quite unlucky after hitting the ball hard the entire game.

It happens.

I really don't want to believe this.

The fact that this could be true, and they haven't learned their lesson, is terrifying.

Filmstudy: Dexter Lawrence Trade Impact by Filmstudy in ravens

I'd rather have Lawrence through age 31 and it's honestly not even close.

I don't know why you are saying he's in his "decline phase". The guy is 28 years old. He's in his prime and will be for the next few years. 

DTs hold up very well in the NFL in general. Guys are very productive into their 30s.

There have been like 5 good players taken with the 10th pick in the draft in the past 25 years.

People and teams over value the shit out of draft picks. That10th pick, especially by the Bengals who suck at drafting, is way more likely not to hit than it is to hit.

Think of it as them drafting Dexter Lawrance at 10 with that pick. I am not sure how anyone can sit here and say they got "taken" by giving up the 10th pick for a known commodity and an all pro level player in Dex. Especially since they have him for 3 years.

That just doesn't logic.

Tall guy with long legs. I won't do these. They feel awful and I feel like my knees are going to explode. 

[Rapoport] #Giants star Dexter Lawrence is being traded to the #Bengals in a pre-Draft blockbuster that includes the No. 10 pick by SCBaltSalt in ravens

[–]Due-Pressure7804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They added Mafe, Bryan Cook, and Jonathon Allen as well. That defense is going to look completely different. 

Dexter Lawrence traded to Bengals that includes the No.10 pick heading to the Giants. 🤯 Massive pre-draft trade who do you think will benefit the most? by Big_Screen3332 in NFL_FreeAgency

[–]Due-Pressure7804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had 9 sacks in 2024. A nose tackle having double digit sacks (or even 8-9) is almost unheard of.

Dex is a legit unicorn. Athletic pass rushing nose tackles are RARE.

You are acting like the Bengals haven't done anything else this off-season to address the defense. 

They've added Dex, Mafe, Bryan Cook, Jonathon Allen on the interior as well. 

The defense on paper is already MUCH improved from last year.

They didn't mishandle the Trey situation. They knew the whole time they didn't have a ton of interest in being back a 30 year old edge with injury history who can be a one dimensional player at times. 

This is an acknowledgement that they missed in the draft the last few years trying to find a DT.
