If you let guys like that walk dont complain about Lou's defense not playing as well as they did last year. The Bengals management has decided to let defensive players walk so they can sign the offensive guys to big contracts. Thats fine but if you are going to weaken the defense to pay the guys on offense, the offense needs to step up and carry the team. Dont blame Lou when you take away the talent he has to work with.
Seriously? A backup CB and 2 safeties? It would be beyond STUPID to pay Bates with Dax here.
It would be stupid to pay Apple and limit Turners growth.
This is the NFL. Players leave teams every year.
Besides our run defense has been horrid.
Crying about safeties that have been gone for 8 months now when our biggest needs are TE, RB, DL doesn't make any sense.
