Hill

Kroft

Lets not forget Hewitt who catches very well.

If MLJ can stay healthy we have to re-sign him, i think he is a special player.

You probably know this...but, I don't work in an NFL front office. Thus, my question: If the PBS FO is so clever, how did they allow so many contracts to come due at the same time? Confused Rolleyes Thanks.

Absolutely.  Valuable player and gotta love the story.  And still just getting started.

I wanted lockett from jump, taking fisher, especially after taking ced in the 1st is not gonna move this team deeper into the post season.

And you may be correct, Lockett may turn out to be a gem.

Or he may blow out a knee week 1

Last I checked, pre-season games and stats don't count.

Let's see if this guy can due it live in the regular season and becomes an A. Brown or if his size gets him hurt if used too much before we anoint this fellow

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

I don't see how people can't understand that if we drafted players that other teams drafted, they may not be as successful here.

Seahawks know what they are doing with a guy like Lockette. As for the Bengals... who knows? but I have my doubts.

Just because a guy looks great somewhere else says nothing about how well he would do here.

Fisher was good value as a 2nd round pick. He really did well at the combine. The tools are there.

At first reading, I though you meant get injured.

Preseason preseason preseason. Wait until production in the regular season, especially when talking about players who played well against the "ones" in preseason. And it doesn't hurt to add depth to the o-line...you're talking about kick returns. I doubt he'd be a WR3 for us. We still have AJ, Jones and Sanu as 1,2,3...

Actually they only have 2 big money contracts to worry about.

Green and Iloka.

After that its all small change 1 and 2 year contract guys.
Cant keep the same guys forever.

I think the Bengals handle contracts and wizardry of the cap about as well if not better than any other team in the NFL

I give tate credit for being a sure handed returner. Thats it. Field position is pretty important. Tate iis no threat to break a big one.

Game changers. I believe lockett is one. They drafted gio for his big play ability. He surely is not an every down back (or a kr either). People are fine with that...

"Bungles' is a term used by people who need to be negative about their own team.

Why would they do that? Even the biggest homers saw that the team was decimated.

Yes and no. You create a pkg. of plays for breakaway talent like lockett on offense not to mention his talent as a KR. I dont think any coach would come up with a set of plays to feature fishers or any other O lineman skills and then rotate him back out. Lol, its as if football is new to some of you.

Drafted Gio because we needed an upgrade at RB not for just a game changer. And he's not an every down back, but he is the #2 and we like to use him more often than we would ever use a slot receiver for just a game changing ability. Plus You're writing off Alford after just seeing Locketts few preseason games. Wait until the regular season. And once again it doesn't hurt to add depth to the o line
