I just have a gut feeling that he went more off of workouts with these guys rather than studying a lot of game film.
If he had watched game film, he would have seen the flaws. But I can see how these guys would look good in a private workout or combine if that's the only exposure the Bengals had on them.
That's why I was banging the drum so hard for PA to be fired after last season's disaster.
He picked these guys (he has way too much say, but that's another matter) and he failed to coach them up. Most teams wouldn't have let him finish out last season. Yet here we are having to discuss this turd still...and he'll probably be around next year, too.
Mike's loyalty to bums like this is yet another reason why this team hasn't won a playoff game a quarter century.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
