RE: BREAKING: Bengals give Trey Hendrickson permission to be traded - SunsetBengal - 03-17-2025

and of course, Tackle.
The hell of it is, Pratt is a smart and instinctive player. He plays much faster than his timed speed. He's seemingly always in position to make the play, but goes for the big shot or the strip, rather than the sure tackle.

Bengals Captain says the contract is done... won't bite on the source.
Things have moved quickly today maybe it's announced before my bed time tonight.

True and he requested a trade anyways because I think Golden told him he was going to go back to being a 2 down LB at most in his Defense.
I like Pratt and loved what he did for us in locking up our first Playoff win in forever but it is time to move on and get something for him.

Who cares? The guy is still under contract and will play his ass off so that another team will give him a fair deal when he becomes a free agent. The Bengals gave him a shot at being a 3 down guy, but his tackling was noticeably less than what we had come to expect from him. Sure, he made a TON of tackles, but many of which were way further down field than his first contact.

Burks > Pratt time to move on from Pratt and draft a young guy in the draft who can tackle and cover and pass rush a little when needed.

We only have 6 picks. What do we gain by cutting Pratt now? I hope they wait and make the decision after preseason. He also may have changed his mind, if so we would have no credible source to know it.
I like Pratt and feel if Golden coaches him properly (not go for strips all the time), he can be a very good LB. He has very good instincts and a ton of experience.I think Moss and Stone should be in the same boat also.

I see Pratt playing a lot of 1st downs and maybe second downs, depending on distance and game situation. Burks will likely be that guy that comes in for Pratt, or that 3rd LB when they use that look.

Or maybe primarily a special teamer.

RE: Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat - Gdale_Bengal - 03-17-2025
It’s not impossible to build a contender from here, but they will have to hit well in the draft and have good player development.
Which they haven’t had in a long time

Boy wonder Zak Taylor is n the hot seat. At minimum if they don’t make the playoffs and have top 5 offense his butt needs to be thrown out of paycor stadium. It’s his baby now

front office caved..look I like Higgins..when healthy ..a very good receiver..but man tying that much money up in three players recipe for problems down the line.

Joe thrives on the hot seat, on and off the field. He’ll be fine.

He has two #1 WRs and a host of other weapons. A breakout young RB that can catch and run like the wind. A vet TE that is a nightmare matchup for most LBs, and two monster starting Tackles. He's probably feeling pretty damn fired up right now.
Realistically we are only one or two successful drafts away from being capable of making another run, imho. I think the young DBs are about to show their worth and growth this season. Add in a bare minimum, one more decent LB, G, and pass rusher. These players can be drafted on team friendly rookie deals.
We're making another run people. Count on it!
or not...but I hope that I am wrong
RE: BREAKING: Bengals give Trey Hendrickson permission to be traded - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-17-2025
I don't really see Pratt being traded or cut at this point.
I mean, we'd gain some cap space, but we already have space enough to do more than we are doing. Why is Moss still here, for instance?
And we'd create another hole to fill. I think if Golden wanted to move on from him, we'd already have done so.

Cinci. was 5th in the league last year at 63.93% in Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TD only) if this is what he's talking about. Problem with SAS is because he's such a loudmouth and making 20mm per year, he doesn't believe anybody would ever take the time to look up this stat or any stats he shouts out.I thought that stat was bogus when I read that. I knew I heard we were in the top 5 at the end of the season...
SAS also said when OSU QB Dwayne Haskens was drafted by Washington that they were using him entirely wrong.He said DH was an athletic QB and needed him to run. Anybody that followed OSU and saw him play knew his running ability was next to nothing and that he was 100% a drop-back QB. SAS got called out on that and apologized.

Hit the draft picks and lets go... also a new defense coordinator and OL coach can help.
I believe we lost a couple of games last year because our kicking game couldn't get it right.
