It’s the dead cap hit which you have to consider if I’m not mistaken TJ. For example if come 2023 we move on, there is a 5.5 million dead cap hit, so we end up saving money off the 12.8 million total for the year. Go one more year and it drops to 2.75 of over 13 million. That being said, I wouldn’t want a 1st round RB to mean his departure necessarily. I think it gives them a nice 1-2 combo for a couple of years and then they move on naturally. Yes, still want Robinson out of Texas.

Just come away from Monday night with a “W”…. Can’t drop this one to the Browns.

Agree with Hoosier that the Falcons aren’t that good and they also had a bunch of injuries going on. That being said, the Bengals had themselves a very solid game and soundly defeated a team they should have. Loving what we are seeing with the depth. Lessening my concerns all the time. Hope they keep it up in the coming weeks !!

I tend agree with the thought that I’m glad he’s not in the news for banging hookers, being a complete douchebag, or turning his franchise into a mess needing to appear before Congress.

Hoping for good things today !! Mixon, Perine and Evans all came out to the high school football game Friday evening. My son was throwing passes to them. Really cool on their part !!

So it took him 103 years to figure that out TJ…

Kinda of bummed out that FC Cincinnati lost their match last night to Philadelphia 1-0, but that was a fun season. This was a team that since entering the MLS, has finished dead last each season. Fast forward to this season and they finish as the 5th seed, making the playoffs for the first time and won their first playoff match. Hoping next season sees even more success for them and the city !!!

Yikes indeed

Typical Dalton… and that hurts me to say. Throws 4 TD passes on the night but blows it all with those pick 6’s. Yes, good dude.

Man there are some bad owners these days. Bad over time is Mike Brown. Bad currently could find far more worse than him.

I hadn't realized how Chase to just blew by the second defender on the 60 yarder. Was that Mathieu ?? Whomever it was, Chase made them look foolish. Also, Chase was apparently pretty happy with Zac's game plan for the day huh ?? Thanks for posting Mem !!

There you go TJ my attempt at being clever today. While I wouldn't consider myself the most interesting Bengals fan, I could certainly write a book about my journeys around the world and back again. I might actually be able to con someone into buying it.

All of the games are critical, but these 3 should be in the "Winnable" category and they need to come out of them 6-3. However, I think it was Lapham I heard say, lets go be 1-0 this weekend. Worry about the others when you have to. Then the next after those 3 is the revenge game against the Steelers.

Happy to hear Bachie has been cleared for the depth he provides. Let me ask a legit question about the linebackers that may help my thoughts a bit. Understanding they do not play a traditional 4-3 and many times they may only have 2 linebackers on the field at the same time. How would you guys view those 2 who are on the field? Meaning, with only 2 on the field, there isn't the traditional WLB, MLB, SLB. Is the goal, when there are only 2 on the field, to have more coverage? Thanks !!

I don't always make friends, but when I do, they share their Prime password with me. Stay friendly...

Jesus guys. No one is slamming anyone here. (See what I did there TJ) Not trying to keep this going. You guys like the LB’s we have and I don’t like them as much as you. It happens. To TJ, if ADG isn’t in the class of Wilson, and I agree he isn’t, that only reaffirms what I said. We actually agree on that. Again, I hope they cover the absence of Wilson well and will applaud the whole time.

Probably right about that… Houston at Carolina bad

I’m honestly surprised Jackson hadn’t been signed yet. He may not be what he once was, but a vet presence most teams could use.

This is going to get good because the Commanders responded to Irsay and basically said they won’t sell the team regardless. Hell yeah !!!

Did someone say he wasn't ?? I would disagree with anyone saying Wilson isn't a beast.

Not at all guys, has nothing to do with the traditional 4-3/3-4 talk and I totally get everything that has been said to this point. I'm not suggesting to go out and find another linebacker or make a trade for one either. I simply think they need to make an effort to find a stud at the position instead of 3rd round at best and later to find starters. While I like Wilson as much as anyone else here, I'm simply not as high on the remainder of them, outside of Pratt. I don't view any of them as difference makers on that defense and want to see them make greater effort to find one. However, I will readily embrace the idea of involving Dax Hill to get him on the field and gain snaps more in the meantime. I'm not asking for any huge reaction at this point however. The same could be said most places honestly. Improve the depth...

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m all good with Wilson and Pratt. When all are healthy, there’s much less concern.

I mean if they have a plan to run more defensive plays with less LB’s, then maybe, but I simply think “Solid” and “Very good” may be a bit of a reach. I have just always hated their approach to LB’s. It’s neither here nor there, just a peeve. If that’s all I have to be peeved about, I’m doing ok.

That’s hilarious TJ. Do you remember when we use to post milestones when people hit a posting mark ?? ”Congratulations to TJ for his 1000th post on the board”. Birthdays and all that stuff.

I’m really not trying to be a butt, but there’s literally bare bones. Wilson is out. Pratt and ADG are starting. Bailey is a MLB and then there is Clay Johnston backing up Wilson. Bachie is still recovering from his ACL tear in December. There is no one else currently on the roster. As I mentioned we have two guys on the practice squad that were both I drafted free agents. Like I said, I could very well be wrong. God knows I’ve been there more times than not, but I just don’t see it.
