RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Soonerpeace - 03-14-2024
Scheme wise I’m intrigued. But Vonn Bell certainly will help. Other than Stone that’s a secondary that can tackle and in the AFC North that’s a good thing.

Safe to say the FO and Coaches were not pleased with the safety's.

New at @NFLonCBS: Deep passes are down, short passes are up and two-high looks abound in the NFL today. A look at why teams are getting out of the expensive safety business around the league https://t.co/kcFJcPVCsj

Boundary, CTB Turner
2 deep, Hill Stone
Nickel dime star: Hilton Battke Bell
Wilson
Hendrickson Rankins Hubbard
That maybe the only team to run that against but it’s in our pocket
Cotton, that's pretty good, but dammit stop giving our inside info to KC
RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Housh - 03-14-2024
Thank god
Battle needs to be a sponge
To me Vonn is his direct player comp
Good to know our tackling will automatically be better next season lol
RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Housh - 03-14-2024
Our tackling may get back up to top 5
If we run nickel most the time that’s gonna be Hilton, Bell, CTB on the field.
They aren’t letting shit by them. Obviously hoping DJ Turner continues to surprise us with his tackling but all of our main secondary guys can wrap up and hit, i love it

This has been confirmed by Vonn's agent
RE: Vonn Bell returning to the Bengals - Joelist - 03-14-2024
They are leaning into fixing the communications and alignment issues on defense which is good. It was aggravating to see our defense getting torched all season not by being physically blown off the line or overpowered but by bad angles, communication errors, basically mental lapses. A Lou defense is complex so mental errors really hurt.

The #Bengals are bringing back S and captain Vonn Bell, per agent @davidcanter. He gets a 1-year, $6M fully guaranteed deal... that's getting paid by Carolina. He's on the minimum from Cincy.

That's a major score. People complain about the front office, but it seems to me they looked at our weaknesses last year.... lack of pass rush from the D line, lack of communication in the Defensive backfield, and right tackle and have fixed two of the three so far with FA still ongoing and the draft approaching.

True enough. They also saw the weakness at RB in breaking any tackles / making the first guy miss et al. Moss directly speaks to those weaknesses with being hard to tackle and getting lots of YAC.

There is opportunity cost. Now they have Bell and Stone. Is that really the best the could have done? Idk, maybe it is, maybe other free agents would be better.

Yes but Opportunity also needs to present itself.
We can have weaknesses, just need to deploy the strengths more to cover that.
I think bringing Von Bell back is great, he can teach Battle and helps with our communication issues.

Idk, I’m not calling this even a home run. He may be declining in skills. We’ll see if it was age or just a bad system for him in Carolina. We still can’t stop the run.
That was a solid year but I'm just thinking in terms of these moves could propel us to win a Super Bowl.
I keep preaching that we need a tackle and that's what I want more than any of these other moves or potential moves, but I just think this is our best ever because we're setting ourself up for a big season.

You cry over everything. Battle and Stone are the starting Strong and Free Safety. Bell helps in run Defense, communication and leadership
along with providing great depth. Communication and alignment issues were our biggest problem on Defense last year. Between Stone and
Bell and the growth of our leaders and the fact that only a year before this last season we were good at stopping the run and tackling I think
we will be much better in these areas.
If you wanted to spend all our money on some other Safety, name him or just quit complaining.
We still have to bring back Reader and add at least 1 RT in FA. I bet your plan would of left us screwed.

So Casear, Dax can be pretty good...
