The coaches trust MJ, Dunlap, Atkins, and Peko so much that they have slammed on the breaks in terms of letting others play significant snaps. It's like a pitcher relying on one pitch instead of working the others.
Even if it gets lower quality results at first, the Bengals need to force themselves to play the young guys at some point or else they will be between a rock and a hard place at DE.
Freeney could be good or he could be ok. It's just a crappy spot to be in all around and it's the team's own fault. I think they need to bite the bullet and get production from the young guys they have. Or not, cut them and move on. Bringing in another guy goes straight to cut them and move on.
The younger guys need to show something to deserve more snaps.
We cannot risk losing games to get them more snaps. Freeney would be an instant upgrade to our rotation
and we all known what he has shown, no falling off yet either. If he starts to fall off and the young guys
show more than him i would be very surprised.
This is all assuming he signs with us of course which might not even happen.
