Im a closet McRib fan, I'll admit!

But I like to make my own on my grill. Get some ground pork, season it up, shape into patties, season, and grill away. Slather with favorite BBQ sauce, put on a good bun with onions and pickles, yay!

And even if I agreed with the points he made he never explained why we had to sign Hart for THREE YEARS.  No free agent RTs this year?  Guess what, they have new free agents every year, dumbass.

Guys...let's try to not be so negative about the Bengals. We haven't even had the draft yet. This may be our year to win the Super Bowl!

ZT will get the best out of these guys. Thank God Troy isn’t on the field on game day.

A bunch of haters you all are:

Mike Brown gets the general blame and a lot of the time it’s not even Mike anymore. https://t.co/N0JaOfyvh1

I think the decision to bring back Bobby Hart was made when they assessed the current tackles and didn't want to pay $$$ for who they considered average players. They think the penalties were an anomaly. Taylor kind of confirmed that assessment.

A bunch of haters in this thread unable to recognize greatness when they see it!

"I think Bobby has a lot of great tools that we're excited to work with. When you factor in him and the tackle market, he's somebody that I'm really excited to work with and I know Jim Turner feels that way and Brian Callahan feels that way....

WOW! He sounds like an ass. Why didn't he just say, look we signed Hart and we know he's not a fan favorite or an elite player but we will continue to find that guy. If we feel he's a draft prospect we will do whatever it takes to get him. Same goes for FA's or teams willing to trade. We will continue to get better not only at OT but every position.

What's he's saying is screw you, FA's are FA's cause their over priced players (most are) their own teams don't want. As for the comment about the draft??? Lord I hope it's just a smoke screen cause if this front office thinks their fine with what they have on the line now we're screwed. They have to take an OT in round 1 or 2 cause Hart is garbage. Hell we really need Oline with the first 2 picks. But then again we see how that turned out last time. Screw it, we will f up the draft anyway.

It's funny that he devalues draft picks in a way starting with 3rd Round picks basically admitting that you likely won't get a quality starter...when a huge part of the strategy is getting Compensatory picks that are like in the 6th and 7th Round. They're essentially worthless picks.

ie His words seemed to contradict the Comp Pick Strategy.

I swear if they march Nickerson out as a starter at linebacker this year.

Is there really a bigger F You to fans than that?

Hart is only the beginning.

There is absolutely no excuse. None. To retain Nickerson as a player, let alone as a starter.

These assholes better pick a LB and OT in the first two picks or I'm going to blow a gasket!

Get your shit together and stop being so ignorant and lazy you damn jerkoffs.

Also how they've been touting about the draft and retaining their own for so many years and FA is the Devil.

So the draft isn't reliable but retaining bad talent that wasn't drafted is the model/model now.

Such a frickin' clown show.

Yep, then downgrades a 7th rounder that has proven himself in the NFL...

Fred saying what he said says a lot and i have been a homer in the past and am baffled by this dude Troy.

Must be on pillz or some shit.

Hope now this guy has no say and Zac has it all cause this is crazy stuff coming out of his guys mouth.

Exactly! We build through the draft! Yet he seems to think everyone past round 2 sucks. Also says their not going to approach FA in the way, well you know the way they got Hart. Team makes no sense. Just a family piggy Bank with no desire to win.

Boy, the front office must have caught a lot of crap for this Hart deal for Troy Blackburn to react this way or maybe he's just a prick? I know Ken Broo raked them over the coals' pretty good for Hart's new deal.

Ehh, Zac's mouth hasn't exactly been spouting logical statements, either.  According to him Bobby Hart and Mike Brown are way better than any tangible evidence shows, and Jim Turner has been completely misunderstood and maligned by multiple people across multiple franchises for multiple reasons.

Don't get me wrong, I was sick of Marvin...but the amount of "Don't believe your eyes, don't look at the numbers, just believe what you hear from me" that has been coming from the front office and coaching staff lately is getting troubling/insulting.  I will say the guy told us to not believe our eyes when it comes to John Ross and we ate that up because it's what we wanted to hear, though.  I'll give him that one.

Anywho, there is still lots of off-season left, but IF IF IF IF IF Zac Taylor flops as a head coach we are going to have a wealth of stuff to look back on and say "No duh, the red flags were everywhere."

His name even spells it out for the front office and they still don't get it.

I can't see other teams like 'Man we need Bobby Hart. Let's offer him a 3 year contract for up to $21 million!'
