COB 862 Report post Posted January 7 Marvin would be perfect for the Jets. He’s exactly what they need. In about 5 years he’ll be exactly what we need (jk, I hope that’s not the case). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 115 Report post Posted January 8 Yep, rock solid, preaches fundamentals, exactly what the Jets need right now. Hopefully he has learned from the Adam Jones, Vontaze Burfict fiasco that character counts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying Marvin but a coach who actually coaches that stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
membengal 373 Report post Posted January 9 Frank Pollack is back! Great news. GREAT news. Per Dehner - he was their #1 target. Mixon is thrilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 9 so even though the Bengals continue to refuse to admit that any assistants were terminated...........this hiring says Turner was terminated what a fucked up way to do business just come out and say - yeah, we let Turner go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 9 There are two Hobson pieces of Bengals.com right now about Pollack There is - amazingly - still no announcement from the Bengals that they've terminated Turner Nothing in these articles, nothing on the website, nothing on Twitter - N O T H I N G Just.....amazing god this organization sucks later this week, Taylor? later this week my ass!!!!! Man I can't wait til you're powerwashing COBs driveway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 10 There is a report - not from the Bengals, of course - that the Bengals are promoting the assistant WR coach Troy Walters to WR Coach https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/bengals-hire-troy-walters-wide-receivers-coach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
membengal 373 Report post Posted January 10 Turner's contract was up, TJ. He's just not coming back. Nothing to announce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 10 well, we - this may come as a shock, best to sit down - disagree :-) OTOH, we do agree that getting Pollack back is outfreakinstanding, so there's that :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMPHAR 467 Report post Posted January 10 How do you “fire” someone that isn’t an employee? The fixation of having an announcement for Turner over a great hire like Pollack is interesting, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 11 I am not sure what to say about the new WR coach, ie the asst WR coach promoted to full WR coach I also dont understand why Bicknell left....he was fine, as far as I know......the report I read said that there was a mutual understanding that they should part ways. I dont know how to interpret that Still no confirmation on any other coaches (aside from the rb coach) staying or leaving as far as know Just for gits and shiggles, I want to mention here that Hue Jackson was once our RB coach, and we have an opening at that very spot.........

membengal 373 Report post Posted January 11 again, bicknell has been with like 15 teams in 18 years. He moves on, it's what he does. He's nothing special at any position group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJJackson 340 Report post Posted January 11 so weird, I wonder why we ever signed a guy we essentially knew was not gonna provide continuity is we wanted it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volcom69 339 Report post Posted January 11 Happy to see Pollack back, but Zac is still the coach and they still kept that defense coordinator who is terrible. So as much as I want to be hopeful I’m still very skeptical, but very happy to see Pollack back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stripes 469 Report post Posted January 11 I understand your dim enthusiasm. I struggle to name any component of the Anarumo defenses of '19-20 that I'd call decisively above average apart from safety. But he's here so it's irrelevant. Be better Lou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETA - yes, yes he was. Here's the wiki - he's been...around. Never anywhere long. The three years here actually matches his longest tenure anywhere... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Bicknell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMPHAR 467 Report post Posted January 12 You can't just look at Center's Pass Pro grade without taking into account the number of snaps he protected 1 v 1. Since 2018 more defenses seem to be playing NTs over the Center in pass rush situations. A lot of Price's pass pro snaps could have been in help situations. Tough to determine anything by it. He was worse or as bad as Bodine in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMPHAR 467 Report post Posted January 12 per James Rapienhttps://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/andre-carter-interview-bengals-defensive-lineFormer all-pro DE Andre Carter will interview for the DL coach job next week. The former 1st round draft pick by the 49ers, played for 12 seasons for 4 teams. In 2017, he worked with Lou as Asst DL coach. He moved with Adam Gase to the Jets where for the last 2 seasons he was DL coach"He helped the 2019 Jets become one of the most stout defenses against the run. Opponents averaged just 3.34 yards-per-carry and New York forced 117 runs for zero or negative yards, which was the most in the NFL." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COB 862 Report post Posted Friday at 09:23 PM Wade Phillips just announced that he’s looking to coach again. He’s one of the best defensive coordinators in existence. He would bring experience and in-depth knowledge of how to scheme against specific offenses. The Bengals should absolutely hire him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
