maybe they were waiting for final diagnosis to put him on IR or maybe just miss one or two games instead... the moves did not really matter Williams was very low risk to lose

They don't have a starting quality NT on the roster. They have a really good 3T that they are going to play out of position I guess.

They played Hill a good amount of snaps there last yr and did well It seems that is their plan starting out unless a pickup

What we've learned is that the "several weeks" injury designation is NOT good news.

I guess Mims is likely done for the year, as well?

Did we cut Tufele? He can play NT and so can BJ Hill. Not ideal of course but BJ Hill is a good run stopper and Rankins was a good run stopper
with the Jets when he was asked to stop the run. Honestly just need our DT's to take up blockers and open it up for the other guys to make
tackles and we could be just fine. I know we will be better in pass rushing situations this year with Rankins for damn sure.

Updated to reflect NT McKinley Jackson to IR, RB Trayveon Williams back to the 53, and the rounding out of the PS with 3 more signings: RB Kendall Milton, G Tashawn Manning, and DE Isaiah Thomas.

I’m talking about the lack of a real plan from the minute they decided to move on from Reader. A Super Bowl contending team counting on a rookie is not ideal. Especially when their biggest weakness last year was stopping the run.

I have been one of the biggest advocates for bringing Reader back. We paid Sample & ADG more than the Lions paid Reader this year. I was VERY upset when we let him walk.
However, I think the FO/coaches believe that some is the issues with the run D eminated from the safties (Hill, Scott, Battle) not getting the calls right/or communicating it fast enough. They believe that Stone/Bell back there helps fix the issue.
Kris Jenkins was maybe the best run stopping DT in the draft. And Jackson probably the best NT after Sweat. I like both guys a lot.

Im not sure that will be the case. He was not very good at double gap. He is not a true 1 to 1 replacement for Reader skillset wise. Size-wise maybe, but his game is truly different. I would challenge you for biggest advocate for DJ, we defitniely agree on that one.

Reader was a top 5 player on the team during our deep playoff runs. I’d argue it was Burrow, Chase, Reader, Hendrickson, Bates. In that order. Losing him could certainly blow up in their faces.
RE: 2024 Bengals Free Agency/Roster Thread - jj22 - 08-30-2024
I don't think they intended on losing Reader. I think it was one of those Bell / Perine things. They played their hand by offering the pitiful contract to open negotiations (as they like to do), and then watched another team woo them away. These players always end up saying they "felt wanted" by the other team even thought the Bengals try to match the offer once the negotiations with the new team is nearly done.
I think if they planned on losing Reader, they would have drafted a replacement in 2023. Or at least tried to get a replacement in the building (rather that player would have worked out or not who know).

Agreed on them not being precisely the same guy.
The FO lost the bet on letting Bates & Bell walk to replace with Hill/Scott/Battle. Thiugh at least Battle played well & they only took one year to fix it.
Letting Hurst go for Irv Smith was a disaster. Hopefully only a 1 year one with Gesicki & the rooks here.
We have mot had a good track revord recently replacing some of our better vets.
Jackson & Jenkins are both hurt after Reader & Tupou left.
Burton seems immature (shocker) after Boyd left.
If Murphy was to be the heir to Trey (or Sam) at DE, that is not going well, either.
Mixon is gone as well.
And both star receivers are out.
I give this offseason a D.

RE: 2024 Bengals Free Agency/Roster Thread - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 10-01-2024
P Robbins waived, DE KJ Henry signed off our PS by Dallas.
https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/10/1/24259416/kj-henry-cowboys-bengals-brad-robbins-practice-squad
That leaves us with 52 on the roster with Myrphy & Jackson both eligible to come back in the next 21 days. I'd say Murphy just takes spot #53 (hopefully this week). He's further along and has more experience. When Jackson is ready, we'll likely bump a DT to the PS (Guy, Tufele, Carter).
