This is the 3rd defensive end the Bengals have brought in...They obviously aren't satisfied with their depth. Reminds me how they looked for a safety last year.

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!

Not sure what you mean by "keeping the roster the same". We did not have the "same" roster all year. For example we had a winning record when Green played. Are you suggesting that the Bengals plan to only play Green half of the season like they did last year? Dalton, Eifert, Brown, Boyd, Lawson, Kirkpatrick, and Green all ended the season on IR. So are you saying that the Bengals plan to hold them out of games in order to have the same roster that we did last season? Since that has become your mantra that you repeat at least 20 times a day, could you please explain exactly what you mean by it?

CB #1 is a gambler, he loves to go after the ball and make the big turnover. During the course of a season he had 8 INTs, but also gambled and lost plenty of times, getting burned while going for the ball, resulting in giving up just as many long TDs as his INT count. CB #2 Likes to play it safer, stay tight with his man, and go for the PD. He finishes the year with 0 INTs, but lands 12 PDs, and only gives up 2 long TDs. Who's better, and why?

Exactly why I said it was PART of what you look at to judge a CB. I thought it was pretty clear when I had it in caps... Anyway, we were a historically bad defense last season, and our CB’s dropping like 37 balls were a factor in that. Only team in the league without 1 single int from any starting CB. I don’t see why it’s controversial to criticize that.

I guess that is kind of comical, when you consider that one of Terryl Austin's points of emphasis was on the defense going for turnovers. But, to be truthful, I don't even consider INTs when looking at CB candidates. Safeties? Now, that's a completely different story..

Not saying they all need to have half a dozen each, but a few would be nice. Stephen Gilmore was probably the best CB in the league last season and he only had 2. Two is a lot better than 0 though...

There are many things to consider, but INT's are definitely one of them for me. I know people think it's smart to ignore INT's (just as people think it's "smart" to ignore sack totals...but that's for another thread), yet when we talk about underrated Bengals players, we always bring up Ken Riley and his 65 INT's. Funny, eh? The best corners can often wind up with lower INT totals because QB's are avoiding them, but I'd say there's usually only 2-3 CB's in the league who are THAT great...and even Deion (considered the best cover corner of all-time) had 53 INT's for his career. Ultimately, 99% of corners get thrown at quite a bit, and INT's are often signs of (a) you stuck tight to your man and (b) you have good timing and hands. These are skills. If the CB is gambles too much and gets burned, people usually know about it. You can't blindly look at INT totals and say "that guy gambles" or "QB's are avoiding that guy because he had 0 INT's". Consider that we have some CB's with iffy PFF grades AND 0 INT's. That's a problem. That means they're getting burned AND not getting turnovers.

Passes defensed should be a pretty big factor unless the guy is Revis or Deion Sanders, etc. and nobody even throws at them.

Are you suggesting that the Bengals plan to only play Green half of the season like they did last year? Injuries aside, you don't think we're bringing back essentially the same roster? So far? We've resigned almost all of our players and made only a few minor additions. Maybe what Pistons says is annoying to you, but I'd say it's pretty accurate as of right now, and free agency is all but done. Btw, haven't you complained about this free agency yourself? I honestly think you agree with Pistons.

BUT, Preston Brown had an Int in Game 1 last year so he's GREAT in Pass Coverage!!! Get it? Int's equal great pass coverage for a LB!!!

If signed, they are just decent rotational players and might not make it thru camp to the regular 53 man roster.

I heard we signed Wynn which i am fine with, i liked Riley better though and he has a good name for a Bengal.

Paul Dehner Jr.
@pauldehnerjr Digging through @PFF , an interesting nugget about Kerry Wynn from last year. Among all DL, he ranked 9th out of 232 qualifiers in run stop % at 12.1. Top Bengals DL in '18: Tupou: 7.7 Billings: 6.9 Dunlap: 6.7 Atkins: 6.6 Johnson: 5.7 Willis: 5.2 Hubbard: 4.5 12:03 PM · Mar 27, 2019 · TweetDeck
