Don't tell Hobs. He's probably busy calculating the 2018 comp pick we might receive. Look for an update in todays article.

Leading a team in tackles isn't a big deal unless it's some insane amount of tackles. Somebody has to lead the team in tackles every season. That doesn't mean they're a good player.
Leading the team in some sort of splash play statistic is way more meaningful. Someone gets a tackle on almost every play I'm football. It's a mundane state.
I'd rather have him on the team. My point is, his tackles were a product of his snap count and incompetence of the likes of Rey.

Rueben Foster makes this linebacking corps pretty good.

I wasn't trying to argue that he was great, just showing that he wasn't "garbage". Leading the team in tackles does have meaning. If it is a LB, then he's doing a fine job. If it's a member of the secondary leading the team in tackles, it means that your LB corps is garbage.

I think losing Dansby makes Maualuga likely to be here this season.
Draft Foster. Move Maualuga to outside LB and roll with that.
I'd rather see us sign Connor Barwin.

They tried Maualuga at OLB his first two years with the team, it wasn't a good fit. He was too slow, both of foot and in his play diagnosis/reaction timing. Now that he's about #30 heavier, and likely 3 steps slower on his feet, I would think it would be a disaster.

No, I didn't notice either.
Yes, he's Arizona's version of Cincinnati's Orien "Boomerang" Harris but I digress.
Karlos Dansby took a lot of snaps for the Bengals last season at SAM and, at least according to the depth chart, the other two SAM linebackers are Marquis Flowers and PJ Dawson. Are either of these two players ready for prime time or should the Bengals look to the draft or see who is left on the steaming garbage pile of second-day free agency rejects? DeMarcus Ware is available along with Connor Barwin, Elvis Dumervil, and others who might be a short term solution at SAM.
I recall hearing Nick Vigil is slotted to be the starter at SAM.
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!

I wonder how many young millennials will not understand why you "hashtagged" 30 lol.

Lol, likely a few. See sonny boy, back in my day a pound sign was simply used to signify an amount of weight. Now days, these young whippersnappers call it a hash tag. Why does my hash need a tag, anyway? If it's cooked well, the aroma should give it away.

Is that what it means? I always think tic-tac-toe. Son-of-a-*****! I'm going fishing with Grampohol. I hate fishing!

Cardinals have a way better team and shot at Super Bowl than stupid pathetic Bengals.
Please trade Andy- he is too good a guy to face what is coming next year.
If Maualuga and Peko are resigned, I will go ballistic. Good Grief!

Would not call Dansby garbage by any means.
But he certainly had already lost a step in coverage.

They will. Hopefully in limited roles.

We need more speed at LB. It's a non issue that Dansby isn't here.

Estatic to go into 2017 season with 1 all pro caliber talent player. 1 who is starting in his second year. That has to tell you hes extremely good and imo a oerennial pro bowler.and then vinny rey for 10-15 snaps a game. I really like our front 7 this year if we draft a rde or mlb like mcmillan, alonzalone, etc. i think our front 7 could be a top 7 in the league.

You didn't hear? We have no money left at all. Mike Brown splurged and bought himself a 2006 ford Taurus with the roll over money.
