Against Tanking

[CKwi88]

I don't think there will be any overt tanking. Like others have said, players are playing for future contracts and the like.

However, I also don't think there will be any urgency to return from injuries, or any apprehension in giving the young guys some reps for experience.

These aren't the 2010s Bengals where getting to the Wildcard and getting booted in the first round is anything to be proud of or want. From a fan standpoint, I might actually prefer having them draft in the top 10, kind of like the 49ers got to do when Jimmy G went down and then they got Nick Bosa.
