Anything can happen, but we need to bring back DJ Reader, him being on the tread mill running sealed that for me.

Henry has been a sub 4.5ypc back for the last 3 years. He's nothing more than a volume back now and that continued volume will break him down faster at his age.

Now defenses have to worry about Lamar (and whether or not Lamar will give Henry the ball or maybe Lamar will run himself)

When both are healthy and on the field it won't be easy for any defense.

It certainly won't.

Interesting.. right?

This tweet from the Bengals front office sounds very optimistic for some some good signing(s) coming up. Just posted recently, too.

Very good sign. VERY interesting.

I think people just like predicting DoOm!!!!!

Lol oh yea, wait until he runs into the big bad Bengals run defense lol. The Browns had the 11th best run defense, the Steelers had the 19th best run defense, and we had the 26th ranked run defense. If you look at YPC, it's even worse. We had the 31st best YPC allowed, the Steelers had the 21st best YPC allowed, and the Browns had the 19th best YPC allowed

In another month Brown will be 31 years old.  In his last 5 NFL seasons he has been injured in 4 of them missing 30 games total in those 4 seasons.    I dont think you can count on a 31 year old Trent Brown staying healthy.

Are they not allowed to tweet out that they have signed outside guys? Is that why they made that tweet?

I see the agreement info on the main page though. But don’t have Twitter so I can’t see if they have been tweeting out all these moves we already know about. Or if teller have something else in the works

Somehow, that's not surprising.    It'll be alright, good things are going to happen.

Well they tried.

In reaching an agreement to sign DT Malcolm Roach to a two-year, $8 million contract, the #Broncos beat out the Rams, Cardinals, Bills and Bengals, who also had expressed a lot of interest. Roach is considered an athletic nose tackle and an ascending player.

Bengals social media has become very entertaining over the past 2-3 years. Went from being one of the lamest to one of the absolute best.

He's better than anything else that's on the market unless they're gonna trade for an OT or bring back Lael Collins.

I think it means they are VERY close to some agreement, but still have an "i" to dot or "t" to cross before can announce it.

VERY exciting to look forward to.

The way social media is reacting if it's not Tee for JJ then there's going to be great disappointment around the NFL social media world....

Teams can't say anything until free agency opens which is tommorrow.

No one really thinks that's a reality right?

No doubt he is good when he is healthy.  The problem is can he stay healthy.  I dont know what the answer is but I dont think they can count on an unproven RT in the draft to be the starter.  They may have to wait until cuts are made and grab a starting RT then.

I see. So it's just leaks and agents and players at this time. 

Way to stick a pin in the balloon of excitement for an inevitable, big signing coming up.
