TJJackson Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I type this as I watch the closing minutes of the playoff game against the ColtsThe Colts had 3 starting offensive lineman out, and one would expect that the Bengals (or any NFL team) would have been able to EASILY get pressure on the passerBut this was not the case - quite the opposite, in factI dont have much confidence in Geno returning to what he once was, nor do I think Margus (who I like a lot) or Clarke are gonna be the answerso I think the 1st rounder simply has to be a pass rushing DL - doesnt really matter if it is a DT or a DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Im good with all except another WR, when Jones comes back there is no need to draft a WRGreen, Jones, Sanu, Wright and whatever they find late in the draft are fine with me. Get the Lines fixed and then LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 let's sign Larry Fitzgerald this offseason.love it :-)I think he would definitely (over)qualify as "a competent #2 WE"will it take a bit more than vet min to sign him?

Get the Lines fixed and then LBI honestly don't think either Jones or Sanu is an ideal #2. I like Jones backing up AJ as a downfield threat, and Sanu is a solid slot #3. Jones did have his 10 TDs in 2013, but I really think that was more an anomaly (especially since 4 of them came in one game) than an indicator of what should be expected long term.

The Bengals have fully committed to Jones as number 2 WR. A long term deal is probably already in the works and has been since the 4 TD performance against the Jets.

TJJackson Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Theres a lot I like in Marvin Jones -- but -- I think Jones has proven to be too fragile to be counted on(starting to look at way with Eifert as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only consistent quality is being injured. Let him try to prove otherwise next season, but in no way should the Bengals be counting on him as their #2.Jury is still out on Eifert. This season sure had that fluke feeling to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that ended up ONLY dislocated and not broken in two is beyond me. A nasty injury. Reminded me of Theismann's leg injury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's a deep draft for DL so if that's how they're inclined finding help shouldn't be an issue.I'd like a real LB someday.But in the end I'd put my chip on OT in the first still. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see.OT is going to have to happen sooner rather than later, without a doubt.LB would also be fine by me.Really, at this point, I trust the Bengals to do a solid job with it whichever direction they go. They've earned my trust in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think that the FO has done a good job at building a roster but has issues managing it. Solid, yes. They need to improve to get over the hump.

Not needed. I will only point to declining players like Peko and Geathers that take up roster spots. Starting spots, no less. Loyalty with the Bengals is great, in fact it's one thing I love about this team. I do think it has it's drawbacks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 For the record, the bengals officially own the 21st pick in the 2015 draft. That's actually the highest pick a playoff team can get, so if you want a silver lining to today's loss, there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Not so much. If they want a top tackle they will probably have to go that route in the first. At least that's my sense right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
