Jerry Montgomery is 45 and entering his 20th season coaching DL between college and pros. Spent nine seasons in Green Bay.

Interesting to see #Bengals fill both trench positions with New England cast-offs. Will be familiar conversations between Montgomery and Scott Peters.
Montgomery coached some good DL's in Green Bay. I like the hire.

They didn't hire Montgomery before Golden pretty sure it was at the same time. Golden wanted Montgomery and I don't blame him.

Good to know. I liked a lot of DL's in Green Bay. Interested in how many players he got to work with. Clay Matthews sure was a beast back in the day.
Really like Kenny Clark their DT. The Smith's Preston and Zaddarius, Gary etc.
