What ?? Glenn AND Dennard could be back ?? Let the march to 10-6 and no chance of making the playoffs or getting an impact player at the top of each round start now !!! Well, to be fair. 10-6 isn't happening regardless, but fucking up the draft is still within reason.
-
Fucking too right.
-
Yup. That’d be our Bengals. Can’t even tank right.
-
Back with the season in ruins but in time to help with some wins to fuck up the draft for next year. Sounds about right.

Will wonders never cease?

If you don’t have a franchise QB and you’re in position to take a prospective one — meaning you’re picking in the top 1-3 — I don’t think that there’s any question that you pull that trigger. Now, I also think that if the Bengals aren’t picking in the top 2, both blue-chippers (Tua and Herbert) will be gone. In that case, assuming they’re someplace in picks 3-10, my instinct is trade down. This team isn’t one or two players away. There are several QBs who look like good value mid- to late first round and if you can pick up an extra second and change, or maybe even a 2021 first rounder and change, do it. of course, the problem of who is doing the scouting and drafting remains.

QB talk always dominates the offseason talk. This year will be off the charts and an interesting dynamic is forming for the Bengals. The Bengals have a decent starting option next year in Dalton. May not be the desired option by fans but a decent option. The QB free agent market has a chance to be very interesting. Players like Mariotta, Cam, Tannehill, Winston. Then it’s a good QB draft class. Can the Bengals spend their top pick on the best talent non-QB and scoop up one in the 2nd? Top draft positioning in the 2nd is becoming more important to them as well.

2nd Round Pick: Drew Sample, TE, Washington
AMPHAR replied to ArmyBengal's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
Drew Sample isn’t playing more snaps because they aren’t running the ball because the push from the line is so poor. The o-line has been overmatched the entire season except for an opening drive against Arizona. The TE group as a whole is losing snaps to Gio, Tate, and Erickson because they stand a better chance beating those match ups vs running the ball into the backs of linemen. The tackle taken after Sample has been grading out at the same level as Hart so there’s no miss there. There is no magic bullet. The line sucked two years in a row and every upgrade has failed or yet to materialize. The guy plays a level of snaps consistent with the frequency of the number running plays called. We see a lot of 3 WR sets to get a defender out of the box. 2 TE sets with them in line just adds defenders to the box and they can’t win blocking 6 and 7 man fronts. It doesn’t appear he’s failed to compete for a job. -
Ok I can now say I’ve won a game when my starting QB and WR scored a combined 10 points. Have to love fantasy football...

I always liked: Lead a trade ?? Dude couldn’t lead a piece of shit out of his ass.

Exactly. When the draft classes of 2004 and 2005 fell apart then things eventually came crashing down in 2008 they made a series of short term moves that turned things around quickly. They nailed quite a few trash heap moves and 1 year FA defensive vet moves that filled holes. They basically right now have 1 guy you can pencil as a decent starter along the line for next year. The rest is a mystery. Hopefully ole Fred can bump somebody to the bench.

As Mikey naps...

Don’t let that “old man, exhausted and in cognitive decline” facade fool you. Mike is sitting there scheming up a 4 way trade that will bring us a new tackle, 2 linebackers, and a corner, and it’ll be creatively financed with a 4th rounder and Eifert, and will screw our division rivals as well. JK, he actually is an exhausted old man in cognitive decline, trying to keep up with teams that employ squads of GMs in waiting. Mike couldn’t put together a plan to sweep out his own garage.

2nd Round Pick: Drew Sample, TE, Washington
ShulaSteakhouse replied to ArmyBengal's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
No one had a 2nd round grade on Sample, and so far he's proving why. His lack of impact of any kind, regardless of how bad the o-line is, says they should've picked any # of other position players who could've added quality depth or challenged for a starting spot. "Maybe" that changes at some point, but so far, he and Pratt both look like throw-away's. You gotta get more out of your top 3 picks, more often, they don't. I'm done waiting around and making excuses for the Bengals, they don't deserve it. -
Is that his brother or son with the fred flintstone-ish 5 oclock shadow?

my dead gramma may have to suit up in a jersey numbered in the 60s or 70s

2nd Round Pick: Drew Sample, TE, Washington
AMPHAR replied to ArmyBengal's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
There was concern with this line when we thought they had Williams, Glenn, Boling, and Price. 3 of those haven’t played and Price has struggled earning a starting gig. They couldn’t run block in the preseason. Their suck has sabotaged any way to judge anything offensive. -
I hope not wrong either they need someone to step up whether it’s a vet or a undrafted rookie I don’t care, just do something lol.
-
Nope not wrong. That’s just were we are.
-
Mike Brown deep in thought. Where’s that thread?
-
Sorry, if anyone can figure out how to post that picture, please do so. It perfectly illustrates the dynamic leadership that has brought this team to where it is today.

Did you see Mike on the tube when we were getting our asses beat? Dude didn’t look like a guy scheming up trades and roster moves to improve his team. Looked more like a guy who: 1. Was wondering if it was jello day or pudding day, and 2. Could have used some help putting on his ball cap.

sad, but am I wrong? :-)
