Going dumpster diving on the Lucas Patrick and Cody Fords of the world, hoping subpar athletes like Geno Stone and Jordan Battle won’t get exposed again, and hoping a very thin CB room will stay healthy isn’t an inspiring strategy. Coaches can coach, but players have to play, and some of the Bengals position groups are weak AF. There are glaring holes on this roster that haven’t truly been resolved via FA and the Draft, and there’s still the looming spectacle of Hendrickson and Shemar.
I agree. I do think there is a chance Stone and Battle play better in a simplified system. But that is a risk on top of a offseason the Bengals FO actively chose to limit them selves for what they could do to help the team. I'm more okay taking that risk on defense but I really wish we would've done more on the oline. Hoping a new coach fixes things is a scary proposition when we are talking protecting Burrow and I sure hope we don't go thru another season of watching him get hurt.
