Idk, I’m not calling this even a home run. He may be declining in skills. We’ll see if it was age or just a bad system for him in Carolina. We still can’t stop the run.

Almost no risk in this move…


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - CJD - 03-14-2024

Not sure how the snaps divvy up at safety, but I have a strong sense Hill will be in the slot or near the line of scrimmage way more than back at deep safety.


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - CottonHill - 03-14-2024

I see it now, vs the chiefs:
Boundary, CTB Turner
2 deep, Hill Stone
Nickel dime star: Hilton Battke Bell
Wilson
Hendrickson Rankins Hubbard

That maybe the only team to run that against but it’s in our pocket

Cool, that was impressive guessing both Stone and Rankins. I also agree with your post I quoted. This doesn't confirm Dax is a bust, it might
confirm that he isn't a Free Safety, at least not yet, but he has too many tools and flashes crazy cool shit at times. Mentally he wasn't there yet
last year and it was only his first year starting.

Think Dax very well could be our future Slot Corner for when Mike leaves.

She did just say Becton is visiting the team tomorrow though

Plus as Pally said, Vonn had hammy issues last year with the Panthers that held him back. He doesn't have to start here as we have Battle
and would prefer him to start anyways with his very good rookie campaign.

Thanks Pally, Becton had his best year with Pollack in his rookie year as strange as that is to us and sucked the last two.

He is young. I still like La'el Collins if he is able to play anymore.

Would love to be on the winning end of that reclamation project.

We like to be 4 deep at CB if Hilton is depth at CB I am ok with that. 


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-14-2024

I'd imagine:

SS: Battle starts, Bell backs up.

FS: Stone starts, Hill backs up.

But I bet we also play a lot of 3 S looks with Bell or Hill in. Hill will get some snaps at slot corner.

This has to be for a really cheap contract right?

Bell is still being paid by Carolina, pretty sure it would be for the vet minimum.


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Housh - 03-14-2024

Why does it feel like we’re back?


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Go Cards - 03-14-2024

Nothing to dislike here and believe Hill will be moved to the CB room.

These moves help unhand cuff the Bengals for the draft as well, and for peanuts on Bell. Enjoying this FA.

Oh and did somebody sat another Card is visiting in Becton ? Coming out of college he looked to be a stud but injuries have derailed that quite a bit. If healthy finally he could pay huge dividends at a reasonable price. He is a massive man and was very agile in college dunking basketballs even. Although not sure he has that back yet, but hoping so.


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Rubekahn29 - 03-14-2024

I imagine a cheap deal, and like someone said, there is really no downside to this. Our defense was at its best with Bell (Bates was here too), but Bell gave a physical veteran presence. He likely won’t start, but will play a lot and be a voice in the ears of the defensive backfield they sorely missed last year.


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - bengaloo - 03-14-2024

Bell is a great leader and motivator for the team. Love this signing


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - XenoMorph - 03-14-2024

Love it


RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Sled21 - 03-14-2024

Man, welcome back to the Jungle Vonn Bell!!! One of my favorites ever since the JSS hit that showed the world these were different Bengals. My take on this is a little different though, I do not think this signals anything about Hill being a bust, I think this means Hill has the skillset to play anywhere in the defensive backfield and now Lou can move people around to get the best matchups on the field. That, and this gives Battle a player/coach in regards to making calls. We lost Chido, so Hill is most likely moving to corner. All of a sudden we are deep again.

It's amazing how much better a defender can look in college when they know what play the offense called before every snap. Might just cause them to be overdrafted
