Some people think Ja’Marr is a better WR than me.. but numbers don’t lie https://t.co/cuAB90fjHP

I'm not really sure why they would be looking at bringing in a DT.  4-3 teams typically keep 4-5 DT's on the roster.  They have Reader, Hill, Tupou, Carter, and Shelvin.  There's no real need at the position group, especially compared to WR.

The point is, a weapon like Fuller can help add points without really compromising special teams.

Both Anderson and Flowers are about the same size and are kind of similar players except Anderson is more talented and more 
athletically gifted. Was a nice pick to cushion the blow once Flowers leaves most likely after this season. Tycen can be the guy to
cover all these great TE's in the NFL now a days in a year or two.

Ja'Marr just had the greatest rookie season of any WR ever...

Taylor .......81 - 772 yds,...... 3 TD's..........4 year career
Chase........81 - 1,455yds.....13 TD's..........Rookie year only


Hope Taylor does step into this role and excel, but he is a no position to be whoofing at Ja’Marr just yet.

But like his confidence

I'm not a fan of seeing Adeniji at RG, but I guess I get it with Cappa out.
Would have maybe preferred Volson being there instead, but Adeniji just might be better at this very early stage.
Or maybe they just want Volson focusing at LG right now.

The WR4 spot definitely doesn't get me excited.
We've seen Mike Thomas. He's been in the league 6 years and has never had more than 13 rec, 132 yards, and 1 TD in a season.
If he's the WR4, we need to really hope there are no WR injuries.
Stanley Morgan also really hasn't done anything on offense noteworthy.
I really hope they add a vet WR4 by training camp.

What most Bengal fans do not realize is that LB Clay Johnston, who only played a few games for the Bengals, also had 11 special teams tackles combined in his games with the Panthers and Bengals.

Tre Flowers had 10.
