cincyhokie Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Don't you love how the Bengals begin to change their horribly stagnant and unproductive defense and they get criticized.The problem there is that they haven't gotten better, worse in fact, on paper, same thing happened last off-season. So, I don't know why these posts touting the defense as "improved," at this point, keep cropping up, it's not accurate.They lost their best LB, Safety and DE, and replaced them with 2 back-up/ST's LB's, and a DE who had a "career year" with 8 sacks, and has durability issues, and they spent a mint on him (I am not saying it was a bad pick-up considering they just need capable bodies with experience at this point).Now, with a great draft and some luck, they can be better, but it's not a result of the Bengals' pounding the pavement and making a few moves to shore things up. In fact they blew two deals, which makes them look bad to the rest of the objective world, that generally thinks (understandably so) the Bengals' FO are a bunch of boobs.You're just not going to see any accolades for the Bengals going into this season I'm guessing, there's no reason to tout them for anything they've done so far. They're bleeding talent and have lost control of their best offensive player for the last 7 years.Just the way it is.I agree with you to an extent but what was the alternative? Robertson? No thanks. Rodgers? At 29 and a history of being "Big Daddy-like"?Brooks and Thurman will return. There's something most of the media is overlooking as a factor. It look as they will build through the draft and with 10 picks this year, it's possible they can.6-10??? Too early to tell. We just need to see the draft and even into the preseason to make predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Speaking of Ryan Parker, isn't it about time he and his daughter wrote and performed the Ballad Chad Johnson? Or maybe they're working on a remake of the classic Mr Bojangles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
