Look I like that there going out and signing guys that are from a different places but none of the signings except for Reader over Billings have been major improvements.
Wayne's + Alexander is a push against Kirkpatrick + Dennard
Fuia is a push against Miller
Bell is a push against Williams
Bynes is a great run defender but Baltimore hid him in the passing game. In all honesty I think Vigil is the better fit in today's NFL but I say this thinking neither is a starting LB. More a guy off the bench.
So, J24, I wonder what your previous comments were pertaining to Free Agency and the Bengals? Did you say they needed to go out and sign players or not? Your assessments of the players just aren't accurate at all. Every player the Bengals signed are young, in their primes, and graded well over the years, (specifically with Tackling somebody) in PFF or other grading sites.
AND, every player they signed come from successful franchises with playoff experiences.
Reader-Texans---#1 run stuffer according to PFF
Waynes + Alexander---Minnesota---two of the best tackling CB's on the market
Xavier---Dallas---Zeke's rushing stats were better with him in there instead of Connor Williams before he fractured his leg.
Bell---Saints---#1 rated Safety left in FA
Bynes-Baltimore (Need I say anything else). Bynes was graded between 70-80 last 3 years, Vigil was graded at 58 last year according to PFF. Did you watch the same games as everyone else last year??? Vigil missed more tackles against Lamar Jackson in one game than he made all year long!
You've probably figured out I only focused on their Tackling grades. This again is b/c the Bengals Defense was the worst tackling team in the NFL last year. And now up to 10 of those players won't be on the roster any longer. Good Riddance!!!
