Andre Smith reunion

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.


Do you think the Bengals just panicked and accidentally submitted in 2 tackles on draft day without a plan? Andre wasn't all the dependable. He had moments were he shined and was a beast at run blocking during those times but his level of play wasn't consistent and he struggled at pass blocking from time to time. I think we should've kept Andre on the roster a little bit longer but he wasn't irreplaceable and he could've been upgraded. They brought Andre back because it was convenient to bring back a solid RT who knows the program and just got a dose of humble pie when he failed to find a match on the FA market.


 Same as before Marvin and Mike don't care about getting players on the field in a timely manner in fact it's the opposite they are fine with letting first round picks ride the pine for years. Nothing is forcing them to put a player out on to the field before they want or need to. Look at our CBs example it's a prime moment to cut Adam Jones and put a first round pick on the field but we're not.
