added a lb - pally - 05-26-2021
Bengals claimed LB Joe Bachie who was waived by the Eagles. Bachie is in his 2nd year out of Michigan State. He was a UDFA on the Saints PS for most of the 2020 season before being signed by the Eagles. He played 4 games with them...mostly special teams.
We'll see if he is just a camp body or if he can hang on for a roster spot

Thanks, because I was thinking there's no way in hell this team signed Joe Bachie

I was in disbelief myself. Thought we had reached our roster limit on Joes.
RE: added a lb - bengaloo - 05-26-2021
Not a bad signing really. He was a tackling machine at MSU and we could use depth and competition at LB for sure.

I know we've exceeded our limit on Tre/Trey/Trae/Tray
RE: added a lb - schroomytunes - 05-26-2021
nice camp body at a position of need, as I see our Lb's now at:
Pratt, Wilson, Davis-Gaither, Bailey, Evans.
-Bachie probably has a good chance at staying on the PS
Ossai and Hubert might end up being listed as a LB by Game 1, but for now their DE's
RE: added a lb - SadFaceBengal15 - 05-26-2021
I’m sorry but when we go into next offseason needing a linebacker it’s cuz we sign and bring in guys like this. I remember all the morons in here were really high on bachie and here he is on waivers lol
RE: added a lb - ochocincos - 05-26-2021
I never watched the guy play, but the NFL.com scouting report says he had good instincts, was a tackling machine, can shed blocks, and is good enough athletically to handle some zone coverage.

If we go into next offseason needing a LB, it's because Pratt, Wilson, and ADG didn't develop properly.

Accurately stated.

Which are all mid tier mid round linebackers. Just like bachie. These guys are not studs. We continue to waste everyone’s time at the linebacker spot

So, since you seem to have an answer for everything, or more accurately, a criticism for everything, whom would you rather the Bengals not selected, in what round, and for what LB?

Pratt was the 4th LB taken in his draft class, Wilson was the 6th in his...
RE: added a lb - jj22 - 05-26-2021
He has a shot if he can contribute to special teams. This smells like a Simmons move. One of his young lb's will be taking Bynes snaps, so he needs the legs.

Just not good enough to stay on a team

Most of the top LBs in the league were all selected between 2nd and 4th rounds.
None of those guys were great LBs coming in. They had some good traits, but they had things they needed to improve.
If you really want a guy who is going to be a stud LB, it needs to be someone picked up in FA and it will need to be for $10+ mill a year.
But the Bengals' scheme isn't designed to make LB a focal point, so that's never going to happen.
