And the defense WAS. bunch of nobodies. DJ Reader even pointed out a really cool fact: Only 1 first rounder gets meankngful snaps on D.... And, if I recall, not 1 guy on the Bengals D got a 2nd contract from the team that they were first with.
^ That = nobodies, in general. But now.... NOW they're all somebodies. And it's awesome to see.
The HC, DC, OC, & assistants are highly thought of.
Sorry, my man, I just don't agree with the side of the fence you're falling on here. The entire org has done an A+ job with the turn around since ZT was hired.
Let's not get too carried away with the "nobodies"
Trey Hendrickson wasn't a nobody and he might not have gotten a 2nd deal from the Saints, we gave him a huge deal
DJ Reader wasn't a nobody and he was ready to sign a huge deal with Denver until we snared him.
Awuzie was a nice get as was Von Bell.
Bates was always considered a great safety.
What's shocking is that the only 1st rounder is Eli Apple. And he seems to have found his niche here.
