I thought it was interesting that the only person he called after the extension was Terrence Neuman. Neuman is a class act, which speaks volumes for Williams that the things we heard Guenther say about his work ethic.

I'll miss Reggie. Would have loved for us to re-sign him, but I was big on us drafting Williams when we did. Liked him far more than Rambo. We should be fine.

I will most certainly call it coach speak. That was the same impression they gave about Hunt having a "monster breakout season"...two years ago, Binns being uncoverable, Tate ready to step into a big WR role, Simpson ready to step up for years, Dennard being the best rookie CB they've ever seen... etc etc etc.

There's wayyy too many examples of Bengals coaching staff just fluffing the hell out of players that were turds, that I will now only believe hype once I see it on the field.

I understand it's just a thing they do, but it just means I won't put any worth into their words. Boy who cried wolf, or in this case, coaches who cried superstar.
