He didn't get much playing time and then they had to make a rush decision. Perfect example of why the Bengals need to start working these young guys in on defense instead of waiting until the last minute and being forced to make a decision.
On a different note, it's hilarious to me that the NFL continues to become more and more of a passing league yet our coaching staff wants to stay old school and run the ball. Obviously you need both, but we never do anything to improve our run blocking. If Ogbuehi and Fisher do not progress like we need and hope, it doesn't matter who our RBs are.
I think we need to let Dalton air it out more. I think we need to keep up with the rest of the league instead of trying to stick to the same plan we've been using the last 30 years.
Well, there you go with another reason PA just keeps biting us in the ass. Terrible at coaching up run blocking.
But we all know my stance with PA, he should of been gone right after the season, it was obvious what our problem
was last year and him and Marv stuck with that problem to the detriment of the team. We could of corrected these
problems like Geunther did on Defense and we would of had a shot at the Playoffs if we adjusted earlier.
I still want us to be balanced. Why not try and follow the Falcons way of last year? If we can solidify the interior O-line
Dalton can have a pocket to step into. If we draft a Center in the 2nd or 3rd and Westerman is good at RG and these
two young OT's improve like i believe then not all is lost.
John Ross in the first, Talented DE or LB in the 2nd, John Toth in the 3rd and we might actually of improved.
We still don't know how this will play out but i really like the prospects of this Defense with this Secondary, Billings
and a pass rusher added to the fold.
On Offense we will see, but we have to hold out some hope. I really liked the Westerman pick.
