Andre Smith reunion

When Andre was on top of his weight and committed he was a great tackle but he was a wild card at times. Why do you think 31 other teams passed on him his first go around in FA?

The idea that the Bengals didn't re-sign Smith to excuse the pick is ridiculous Mike and the FO don't give two craps about what the public thinks of their moves and there was nothing to excuse they went with the BPA based off of their bored. I don't remember anybody predicting we'd be in this spot after drafting a tackle in the first 2 rounds back then.

Whit I understood planning for. Andre was a good player for us from 2012 up to the point he departed. The lack of a substantial market for him was something I viewed as a positive for us. It made him very affordable and easy to retain, unlike guys like Whit and Zeitler. I prefer judging our players on how they perform rather than what their market was. The only reason you're using his market is because you know he played well for us and age can't be an excuse either.

They weren't planning for replacing Andre. They let Andre walk because they drafted 2 tackles and had to get them on the field somehow.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
