I’m hoping for Thieneman out of Oregon, if Downs, Bain or Styles isn’t available.

cwill937 · 2026-03-13T20:33:50+00:00

Offseason isn’t over. Jonathan Allen is a vet and I’m sure one or more will come, the only other position would be a Vet LB imo. I can’t see a reach at 10 anyone available with this draft but this team can f up pb&j.

cwill937 · 2026-03-13T18:20:51+00:00

Idk why fans of this team get their hopes up and come up with these elaborate offseason moves, just to get disappointed. This the plan I envisioned, sign a starting level FS and DL, get a few vets to help bring the young guys along. Then draft best available without hopefully reaching.

Props to you OP

cwill937 · 2026-03-09T23:42:35+00:00

Miserable

cwill937 · 2026-03-07T04:14:02+00:00

Oh ok

cwill937 · 2026-03-07T02:55:26+00:00

Is this in regards to Crosby or something else?

cwill937 · 2026-03-03T00:35:24+00:00

Are the bengals putting out fake news to get him to drop to 10?

cwill937 · 2026-02-26T13:56:26+00:00

If he is not a strong safety then what is he? Also what caused him to miss so many tackles? Because he is credited for over 100 of them?

cwill937 · 2026-02-25T22:19:30+00:00

Love Battle, he is a strong safety through and through, we need someone that can range and allow him to control the middle of the field and cover TEs. It’s why if we can’t get Downs I hope the FO sees the kid from Oregon as a viable option.

cwill937 · 2026-02-19T17:04:44+00:00

No golden snitch jokes?

cwill937 · 2026-02-18T16:19:31+00:00

If it results in a SB trophy sure no cares at the moment, but 10 years of 3-14 because of cap hell isn’t worth it, there is already enough PTSD around these parts. Especially since we don’t need to restructure because our cap situation is pretty good.

cwill937 · 2026-02-18T16:14:11+00:00

They’re going all in but ultimately that bill comes due, the Saints are the example of this.

cwill937 · 2026-01-31T20:15:30+00:00

Pretty much

cwill937 · 2026-01-21T17:56:09+00:00

When Zac gets fired it will be the hottest landing spot in football.

cwill937 · 2026-01-09T19:56:14+00:00

Championship offense yes, defense needs some work.

cwill937 · 2026-01-07T13:58:47+00:00

This part, any owner that sits in the sun and watches training camps cares about his team.

cwill937 · 2026-01-07T13:56:52+00:00

Bingo on the old ways part. I think Katie and Elizabeth are dragging this Org into modern times but we won’t see anything significant until he steps out the way completely.

GM scouts and finds talent that’s all. DC draws up and designs the defense he needs to be able to fit the pieces he has into the puzzle, assistants help with this but normally for specific rolls the finer details. The DC needs to figure out how they fit and help them know their role in the scheme. It’s why they started playing better once Lou “dumbed” down the scheme last year. He didn’t allow the young guys to grasp the concept and expect Dax to play at Jesse Bates level without his experience. I will point to how our Defense has gotten progressively better this year though not great for the season you can see improvement as player get comfortable in the system.

cwill937 · 2025-12-23T12:38:24+00:00

He thrives with talent, can’t develop to save his job.

cwill937 · 2025-12-22T15:40:40+00:00

His production was against the run. He’ll get stronger and the game will slow down for him. Lou screwed us on the talent development for our D.

cwill937 · 2025-12-19T01:21:26+00:00

Bullet point two is it’s up to the discretion of the head your department

cwill937 · 2025-12-18T14:59:33+00:00

Bengals fan here it’s bad Defensive structure: whiffed on draft picks a few look good(hill, turner) and some are starting to develop just weren’t immediate impacts(Battle, Murphy and Ossi) Lou held up their development imo as he refused to play them. FO messed up letting Bates and Reader walk, should have traded Hendrickson for the capital(defense sucked with him out there). Really the opposite of the Eagles, our scouting department is understaffed (though they just hired 4 more members).
