RE: Welcome Barrett Carter - NATI BENGALS - 04-26-2025
About damn time. We haven't drafted LB since 2020. So I'm happy the guy who went 3/3 last time we drafted LB is restocking the shelves.

I actually like what there doing. Wilson and Knight will probably start and Pratt will be gone. Burks age 30 has always been more of a backup type player so him and Carter can work there way in as an LB 3. Golden like's to run 3 LB sets that more than Lou vs heavy sets Lou like 5 D-lineman. Carter has 12.5 career sacks so he can rush the passer to. You play in a conference with Lamar Jackson, Mahomes and Josh Allen who all like to run we have LB's that can run and chase. Win with the front 7 vs. the run and we have a lot of resources invested at CB and Offense.

That's fair. Maema has Burfict-esque instincts though, I would take that over athleticism any day of the week.
They're both bottom on the roster guys though, so we'll see how the competition goes

Another position that needed an infusion of speed/talent.
Also hit the guard position but still worried about the safeties. Hope for improvement this season. Golden must think Stone is OM back there.

Stewart has experience moving around the line and we drafted 2LBs that have some blitz ability. Have to love the multiple looks.
Truth. This should be a much more aggressive Defense under Golden where you don't know where the rush is coming from but with a
lot less of the Ends dropping into coverage which usually never works out unless the End can cover a bit.

So is Hodges the LB caoch, he mentioned Logan, Burks and Shaka, but not Pratt or Meta.
Telling to me especially after drafting Knight and Carter.

The AFC north is built different than the rest of the NFL always has been.
You got to stop the run in our division, and we got to win in the AFC north to make it back to the playoffs.
So, we need to have the players that can line up in 4-3

Maybe. But, this guy is likely a special teaser for several years. Most of our draft picks will be.
