Nobody has taken the jobs yet but it seems like Hart is getting a long look recently at RT so maybe thats a sign. The right side is wide open still, thats for sure. It could go any way, and with a new coach and technique, its pretty much a mystery because what guys looked like last year may not apply as much as it normally would.... cant wait till we finally play a preseason game....

How much can a coach change the way linemen do things in one preseason? We all have heard "Old habits are hard to break." It first starts with changing a persons thinking, then the body parts have to catch up. Thought process, reaction, execution. All within a millisecond.

There is a 25 year old LB with over 500 NFL career tackles who led the league in tackles last year who actually plays for the Bengals.
Remember how we play in the AFC North? There is a good chance that LB who led the league in tackles last year leads the Bengals in tackles this year. Lot of talk even in this thread about Evans and Malik. Preston was our big FA signing. And even though he is only 25 for some reason a bunch of other young guys are getting the hype.

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.

This is easy..just pull up the Bengals roster and find one name you don't recognize immediately . That player ,no matter how far down in the pecking order will go on to win league MVP.. I can tell by how many times my cat scratches for fleas.. or just do like most guys gfs do and pick a player based on their picture . Nice smile ? Kind eyes? Obviously a first ballot HOFer..

All great points Nati, Preston might have a great year, he is solid and with Burfict out the first 4 games will probably lead the team in tackles. Was a great signing, in his prime Linebacker for once. We will see how he adjusts to Austin's system. Still standing by Brandon Wilson being the surprise breakout player though. ST's are a big deal.

I thought the same thing and really dont have an idea about any of it lol. When we first hired Pollack, I was just thinking a more hard-nosed coach will help light a fire and more discipline, etc. But that article where Icky Woods mentioned the difference between OL's going out to hit someone vs "catching" ...which I had never really thought about or knew of until then. Thats what really got me thinking about what could really end up being a big difference because it sounds like a different philosophy of blocking. Its the most intriguing thing in camp this year to me for sure

Jordan Willis.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

Nick Vigil will rebound this year inspite of the linebackers coach.

Lawson will be used in a rotational role, but Willis can play all downs at RDE or LDE if Dunlap or Hubbard were needing a breather. I know we all want to see a lot of Lawson, but I think Willis will get more snaps at RDE. And, hopefully, MJ gets none.

I still think we have seen the best of MJ, and he's on a rapid decline. Maybe I'm wrong, but he certainly isn't going to be seeing a lot at RDE.

Sorry to say, but I think he really needs to bring it or he will be like Hunt and under used and forgotten. What is this based on? Here's a quote from Kat Terrell back in May... Quote:Lawson and Willis, now second-year players, will factor heavily into the Bengals' plans this year.http://www.espn.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/30001/eight-hours-inside-rookie-camp-with-new-defensive-coordinator-teryl-austin Sure, there may not have been a ton of buzz around Willis this TC, but that doesn't mean he's getting left behind...unless you have some quote since TC started that explicitly states that. It is for this reason actually that I think Willis is the definition of someone who could break out but no one is talking about.
