There's a player available that instantly improves our run D - Big_Ern - 09-19-2020
Vontaze Burfict. Defense hasn't been the same since he left. Nothing to lose

No, but I get it. He isn't remotely the same player and he has had so many head injuries I fear for his long-term health. He could make a good coach, though.

We drafted an entire new linebacker room basically in the last two years. These guys need all the time they can get. Even if Burfict was still remotely serviceable

if we're in the "getting the band back together" mode. why not bring marvin back too, its not like zac has improved this team..
in seriousness, bengals have moved on from burfict. the LB depth is sold enough and not entirely the issue going on with the bengals defense in 2020. the defensive play calling and the shape of the DL (healthwise) are playing into the bengals 2020 defensive woes more than the names at LB.

But we basically have the same d line from when he was here, just swap reader for Atkins and it's a wash from a run D standpoint. The only other variables bare d coordinator and Burfict gone. He wouldn't of allowed the browns to but up 200 plus rushing.

Part of what needs to happen is ditching the whole 2 LB alignment and either using a real 4-3 or a real 3-4. We have more LB in the room now and it is past time to ditch the goofy alignments.
In fact, with the health issues right now we probably should be using a 3-4 with Reader as NT flanked by Dunlap and Hubbard. Inside LBs Wilson and Bynes and Pratt and ADG outside.

Bengals need to ditch Lou Anarumo after this season ends.

Initial thought is hell yes..what do we have to lose?
Then, sanity came back...
There has to be better options out there. Our guys simply get beat in trenches routinely week in and week out
When is the last time you can recall a game where we dominated the trenches?
Its been at least 6 to 7 yrs since that has happened. We have been punching bags ever since due to bad drafting, no FA signings worth a sh#t and bad coaching. I would be all for bringing Zimmer back as a HC. My faith is waning quickly with ZT.

He was shot before he left here. Why in hell would we want more of that?
RE: There's a player available that instantly improves our run D - Nati#1 - 09-19-2020
Hell yeah i would bring vontaze back as long as his head is out of his ass. We need him.

We need to ditch him now. Not like we are starting over when he never got anything going in the first place.

I see you have a quest. It's fun to have a quest and scream it in every single thread. That's not spamming at all.

Bates can't tackle a rugged RB, so if we went after a player, that guy should be Earl Thomas. But, they won't do it.

He especially can't tackle them by flying into the play and grabbing them high. You gotta take out their feet or gang tackle them.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there aren't a lot of S's who can bring down either one of those guys. And Earl is old and not very big and loaded with issues. If the Ratbirds don't want him, I'm not sure I do either.

Burrow improves our run D. As long as he has the ball, other teams can't run on us.
RE: There's a player available that instantly improves our run D - HarleyDog - 09-19-2020
No on Burfict. Loved this guy until after 2015 season. After, we had penalties that weren't even penalties called against us because of him and PacMan. We are actually able to play football without the flags every other play. They killed this team. They're shenanigan's is equally responsible, if not more, than the damn fumble by Hill. Do we really need to watch this again? Let it be known, I still don't forgive Hill.
