Some nice praise for the new OL coach from McNally. Hope it works. Its critical to get some players or any player for that matter to perform in the top tier of OL. The 3 sack game has just become the norm for the Bengals since the departure of Alexander.

I'm in agreement with all Steeler and Raven fans. 1. Trade Watt 2. Trade Lamar, Andrews 3. Fire Tomlin 4. Fire Harbaugh These guys among others are easy to replace. Do it.

I don't see a problem at all. They made a great hire in 2020. Bengal fans upset because they know the name.

Al Golden would be a great hire. Bengal fans just mad because the Bengals made a great hire back in 2020 and they know the name. Nothing is for certain. They may not be able to hire him IF Notre Dame wins because of potential bigger opportunities. I think he stands a good chance to improve the shitty defense. Then probably moves on to a Head Coach spot.

He was on their AFC Championship and Runner up staff and he's now coaching in the National Championship game. What's the problem? Golden has been apart of improving defenses and teams for a long time as assistant and head coach. He's very comparable to any DC available. Especially in the last 4 years. I hope they can get him. Especially after seeing how well he's gotten college kids to play at that level and the fact he'll be dealing with a number of young defenders in Cincinnati.

Watching some ND/OSU previews film breakdowns. In summary NDs defense is well prepared, coached, disciplined. I guess secondary is one the best despite no 5 stars?

Usually the only Assistants the people get geeked up about are fired Head Coaches that are returning to the level they had most of their success. Patrick Graham is a guy I think could do a good job. His profile seems to be that of an up and comer and his experience has improvement through out.

SI sources are saying 2 people are in the running. Golden and Patrick Graham. With Golden being the favorite. Then goes on to speculate that Golden will be the DC. We'll see. I like both resumes so game on for either one. I think Bears are wanting to Interview Freeman so that throw a wrench in the works. Golden has led winning college teams as Head Coach. So if Freeman goes then would he have a shot?

Locked on Bengals podcast noted there hasn't been any movement with DC league wide. Referenced Dehner's opinion that the Bengals are the most desirable DC opening and people are waiting for the first chip to fall. My thought is they are waiting for a coach in the post season college or pro to finish up. Just a guess.

I generally like the Rams to do well basically because they were the main nemesis to Joe Montana and 49ers in that division. After Superbowl 16 and 23 I wasn't real fond of those guys. But now the Rams won Superbowl 56, so I guess I can hate them too.

Tic Tac Dough was cool. But I always enjoyed Press your luck or Jokers Wild. Of course Double Dare. Marc Summers could probably coordinate a defense. If you can't get Summers, Marc Harmon would be cool. He used to QB UCLA.

Wink Martindale has entered the conversation apparently. He is interviewing with multiple NFL teams so it looks like NFL is were he wants to be.

I think Rams vs Eagles is going to be a good game. Looking forward to that one right behind Bills/Ravens. Would love for the KC Chiefs to come out rusty and lose to the Texans.

Yeah has to be frustrating for a Vikings fan. Cruising along and you've found your Franchise QB, can trade away the one you drafted and then boom disaster.

Not to say Zimmer would be a gamble but it be worth it to see if he could do what he did back in 2008. It seemed like an instant turn around. IMO, the best defensive units in franchise history. But he got so many miles out of former 1st round DBs thought to be washed. Newman, Nelson, Pac-Man, etc. You get that turn around coupled with Burrow/Chase. Could be a huge home run. All of sudden Pittsburgh Steeler fans are the ones crying "cheap" shot, lol. But he is also getting up there in age. Wonder how long he wants to coach.
