Eric01 you can't blame injuries man. Every team has injuries. The Bengals lost games they "should've" won. In the 90's we would've called it they "Bungaled" that win away. Most of this season watching games, all I can think to myself is "how are they gonna bungal this game away". I hate thinking that way but man the ineptness of the defense and McPherson is just crazy.
I think the Bengals had a good draft this season. I think they truly have some good picks in Mims, McKinney, Jenkins I think are going to big contributors over the next 4 years. All was having a great season, but after the 2nd ACL surgery on the same knee, lets see if he can come back. Newton could be a nice nickle corner for us, and Matt Lee will eventually be the center. This year was a great draft. I think it's a great draft even if you dont get anything from Burton. Until he gets his head straight that kid just isn't going to play.
Next year Tee will be gone, I think you need to cut Rankins, Hubbard and go find 2 players that can get after the QB and stuff the run. Both have had horrid years. Address the IOL. Again, I dont think they're far away. Just some tweaks.
That's true, but when you have multiple injuries hitting the same position group, that's hard to recover from. We lost Sample for the year, Sheldon Rankins for a batch of games, BJ Hill for a batch of games, Hubbard is evidently playing injured and stinking up the place, Jackson started the year injured as well as Jenkins. That's a lot of D line to be playing without.
