#2 rated guard in PFF in 2021 . . . never took another snap in the NFL. Not one team called him in 2022. Doesn't that seem odd to you?

I new OL coach can help with the technique, but athleticism and strength cannot really be coached up. Neither can heart.


Well, I am sure players like that would look a lot better with Bill or Dante. Jonah Williams was the consensus most safe pick in his Draft 
according to most and had a better year this year in Zona. Mims is the only one there that could be great of that bunch though that is 
for sure. Not good picks besides Mims.

Also the proven FA's the FO brought in were better on their previous teams which is a sign of poor coaching.

I got news for ya pal, these personnel issues go back to the Marvin Lewis regime. Hint.....it ain't the coaches now, and it wasn't then....and I blamed Marvin for a lot of it. 

That's not how things work.....some coaches are managers of the team, others have a focus on one side of the ball or the other. The manager types let the coordinators run their units. Guys like Reid run the offense and stay out of the way of the defense. Guys like Belichick let OC run the offense and they run the defense. You act like that's something that has never happened in the league and isn't actually rather common. 

Now, starting slow, and some other critiques are one thing, but just making up stuff is another. The Bengals have been poor at evaluating talent for 40 ***** years, but let's blame Zac.

this nonsense that they NEED Tee and need to listen to everything joe says is some real loser mentality garbage. Here's a real shot to improve the team, and some fans just want to give Tee 20 million to play 10 games out of 17

Sample isn't. All's injury history makes relying on him foolish. Gesicki did a nicecjob as WR3/TE2, but is a FA. 

We need a lot. But if all the A list defensive guys are gone (Graham, Johnson, Carter, Hunter, Starks), as seems likely, and most/all of the B+ guys as well (Wilson, M. Williams, Scourton), then Tyler Warren looks awful tempting if he's still there. Instant #3 option who can also block. 

I like ZT's alacrity in getting these spots filled. FA in in 2 months, draft in 3. New guys ate gonna need to get in and evaluate our guys on film, and what is out there. 

Allen, Salah, Eberflus, Livingston, Golden, or another NFL assistant, whomever, but get 'em in here. Pronto.
