First Depth Chart - pally - 08-05-2019

Obviously way early and subject to change...

Highlights:
WR: Green, Boyd, Ross, Erickson, Malone, and Core so the young ones still haven't displaced Core. Of course they still have the opportunity with AJ out

LG: Jerry Jones with Westerman as backup
Tackle- Smith backs up both sides
RG: Redmond still the back up there but since he is suspended for 4 games look for someone else to start the season here
TE: Uzomah is #1 with Eifert as backup Sample is #3
LB: Vigil, Brown, and Evans are starters

That starting LB core is scary 

RE: First Depth Chart - XenoMorph - 08-05-2019

Vets almost always start training camp higher on the depth chart than the young guns... they have to overtake those spots during camp.

Why is nickerson ahead of Jefferson???

In a bad way.

Probably because they only consider Jefferson an OLB only.
Jefferson has already been jumped by Pratt though for WILL, according to the depth chart.

RE: First Depth Chart - grampahol - 08-05-2019

I have a feeling either Pratt or Davis will supplant someone on the DC and maybe both.. Not that I've ever been known to be wrong about these things.. Me? Never!  Nervous  

RE: First Depth Chart - ochocincos - 08-05-2019

This starting OL needs to really improve upon what it did last year.

Glenn - 60.9
Jerry - N/A (didn't play)
Price - 49.4
Miller - 64.3
Hart - 56.2

If there's any hope, it's...
Glenn was a very good OT at one time in his career.
Jerry was very good at pass blocking in 2017 and had a rating just above 70 that year.
Price was a stud in the run game at Ohio St.
Miller is an upgrade over Redmond.
Hart was (much) better in the run game last year compared to the passing game.

And for some depth guys...
Westerman has rated (very) well in the limited snaps he's taken in games since becoming a Bengal, and he might emerge as the LG starter.
Hopkins performed better than Price last year.
Andre Smith at one point in his career was a solid RT and still might be better than Hart overall.

RE: First Depth Chart - J24 - 08-05-2019

A lot will change between now and the end of preseason.
LB core is scary. Especially that Nickerson and Davis are so high up on the roster right now honestly don't think either is practice squad material.

Why is Nickerson still even on the team?

RE: First Depth Chart - Mike M (the other one) - 08-05-2019

I like the idea of Evans getting a shot. I am hoping he's able to put it all together now.

Because Marvin refuses to let young stars play over his tenured bums.

Blind squirrel blind squirrel...lol

RE: First Depth Chart - THE PISTONS - 08-05-2019

No major surprises. On paper, we're not a very talented roster compared to some teams in the league.

I guess coaching is going to have to be stellar!

RE: First Depth Chart - Socal Bengals fan - 08-05-2019

Not sure what’s scarier our linebackers or our Offensive line. Yikes it’s ugly

RE: First Depth Chart - TopSix - 08-05-2019

Devin Bush was the guy they needed. 3 Down LB - Coverage, Blitz, Run Stopper. He is what you want in a NFL LB

That obviously didn't happen - They got Bungled by the Steelers


The bengals needed help on the OL and LB to compete. They chose the cheap way - Draft Jonah. Injury Aside, it didnt solve both problems and now it solves neither.

A NFL team that wants to win would solve both. Jonah in the draft and Sign Jordan Hicks or Smith at LB

Or, draft Bush and sign James or Brown for the OL.

Instead, They Bengaled it.

 The front office is basically relying on scheme and heath to turn things around. We did absolutely nothing in free agency to address the offensive line or linebackers. If both units are a disaster again Tobin and company have nobody to blame but themselves.

You right lol..

RE: First Depth Chart - BengalsBong - 08-05-2019

If Driskel can hold onto the second spot through preseason I guess that's a good thing. We have enough QB coaches on this team to give each QB their own personal QB coach.

Lot of good things have been said about Stanley Morgan and Damion Willis if either move up the DC then Core most likely falls which is good IMO.

If Tyler Eifert drops to third on DC behind CJ and Drew Sample I am good with that as long as he stays healthy. You can put Eifert on the field anytime we are in dire need of points or to draw attention away from AJ but use him sparingly so you keep him healthy.

LB is the one true head scratcher Deshaun Davis looks more like a MLB on film and Nickerson looked so bad last year not sure how he is still on the team.

Bengals would have passed over Bush to take Williams.
