RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - jj22 - 03-12-2024
Already at the Irv Smith level of FA (before FA even starts).... How we feel about that in general from a NFL Offseason timeline. FA over before it begins?
I don't have a problem with it, but it is much different.

Did they sign Irv to tell them the Bengals play calls?

I’m not sure he even knew them judging on his play last season.

Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb in the division bla.

Hoping Derrick Henry finally falls off with the Ravens, that would make me happy.
Funny the Chiefs getting Irv Smith who was terrible for us last season. Wasn't even hurt and still sucked. Was our worst TE.
We are upgraded at TE with Gesicki in the fold and Drew Sample on a 3 year deal right after showing some good play at TE and H-back.

As risky as it is with his age and injury history I think they pretty much have to bring Reader back.
RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - CottonHill - 03-12-2024
Should be entertaining watching this defense trying to tackle Henry and Lamar.

Yeah and draft a big NT like T'Vondre Sweat in the mean time.

We have tackled them well before, hope Lou gets his Defense on track, I know he was embarrassed by what they put on the field last year.

Yeah, as Adam Schefter stated: Henry most rushing yards since 2018 (8,268) and Lamar most rushing yards by a QB since 2018 (5,258). And the Bengals have a safety whose weakness is rush defense. In fact, last year missed 12.5% of tackles he could have made and a PFF on rush defense of around 40.
To top it off, the Bengals' new TE is not a blocking TE and the Ravens are a sack machine.
The matchup with the Ravens will be "entertaining."

That is going to present a problem.
A BIG problem if they can both stay healthy.
The Ravens seem all in on winning a Super Bowl.

If we don’t sign Reeder and some other help we’re screwed. Sucks to see all the DT’s being signed and we’re sitting empty. Might have to go sign an OT and draft then with the first 3 picks. Sigh.

A huge problem given they have to do it twice.

I bet Geno Stone will be playing FS and more of the single high role and Battle will be the SS in the box.
We brought Sample back and he will be the blocking TE and the H-Back and Gesicki will be the pass catcher like Hudson was for us.
We will see, if we take care of RT and DT I bet we play them much better this year with a healthy Joe Burrow.

They will have to win a Playoff game first.

If we were gonna move in from Mixin, Henry would have been my preference.
I'd rather have Henry than Moss & Gesicki (or Sample).
Of course, if I was Henry, I'd pick Baltimore over us in a heartbeat. Soo...
Gotta bring Reader back now.

Then the Steelers added Russell Wilson who may end up being exactly what they needed.
The Ravens & Steelers offenses may be getting a boost from Henry (Ravens) & Wilson (Steelers)
As much as I and others have focused on TEE, it is the Bengals Defense that has to catch up to
other Defenses in the Division.

The Bengals are not big on signing FA’s over 30. For good or bad it’s just not their thing.
