I have been really down on Bengal management since they did not fire Marv after the Pittsburgh meltdown. They just completely wasted the following two years by keeping Marv.
But give them a lot of credit this off season. Reader could be the best nose tackle in the league and signing him was a coup giving our atrocious run defense.
When have the Bengals ever signed the top guy at his position in free agency!
Investing in Reader was better than way over paying for the LBs signed so far.
Average or worse LBs can do a lot better when the tackles are eating the blockers the way Reader can eat blockers.
They cannot fix this team in one year but I have to give them credit for an approach to free agency none of us have seen before and making a very good start.
I am drinking the kool aid again and have high hopes for Burrow!
