Good to see them doing something. Want to see them keep running the ball, but not to the detriment of Brown getting worn down or injured.
Would have preferred seeing them pick up a plugger who can fall forward and can pass block, but doing something is better than doing nothing.

Honestly, this was more activity than I was expecting from the Bengals today. Good for them. Herbert makes this team better.
Would have liked us to do something about the defense, but hey, I'm sure we'll be just fine with the people in the building.../s

I wonder if one of the issues the Bengals have making trades is Mike Brown's relationships with the other owners coupled with their notorious cheapness when it comes to "not overpaying"

Herbert helps because of the Moss injury, but he won't drastically improve the team.
The team did not make any trades of significance, per many people's expectations.
They will ride or die with the players they got.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Herbert is wearing #34 since Vonn Bell already has the #24 he was wearing with Chicago

I’m happy w the pick overall due to Moss going down and w Willams not being very good.
*Would have preferred help on D.
But do we know what exactly the plan w this cat right out of the gate?
1. A 1-2 punch sharing duties at 50% w Moss?
2. Continuing the 30-70 Moss-Brown split?
3. Becoming RB1?
I think C. Brown is doing aiiight
