I often see ppl jokingly say we have to score 35 a game.
That sounds crazy until you do a quick skim of the roster and realize we have Chase, Burrow, Brown and Tee. To me committing to that means you are taking offense at 17 and it means you’ve alerted your defensive coordinator that that’s the gameplan.
If you are gonna do it then do it. Dont 1/2 ass it. Now if the roster build plan is to draft D and retain what we already have on offense and improve the O in FA that’s fine too.
Personally if anyone cares I’m in the draft D and tweak offense via FA boat. I think we have the roster already to accomplish that but i also respect anyone who wants to just try and score 35 every game.
I wonder where the Bengals are at on this or if they are more in the “Just build the best roster possible” boat.
Nah, we can get better on Offense and could score that much a game, but we lost lots of games last year trying to just outscore teams.
The Defense needs to hold teams under 24 points a game. If we can do this we will make the Playoffs this year if Burrow and our Offense
stay relatively healthy. We need to generate a pass rush outside of Trey and tackle better. The good news is the tackling can be addressed
through coaching and technique and is not a pure talent need like a pass rusher can be.
But yeah, if a player like Tyler Warren or Ashton Jeanty or a top Guard is there at 17 I am fine with drafting Offense there. Lots of questions
about the DL players that should be there at 17. We can get pass rushing DL after the first round.
