It is, but the last couple years were bad even by Bengals standards. Usually in the past, when we lost good players we at least tried to sign a decent replacement. Think Lavernues Coles replacing Housh. Odom replacing Justin Smith. Nate Clements replacing JJo. Last year we got LaFell to replace MLJ. This year we just let 2 key o-linemen walk without doing anything with the money saved. That's bad even for Mike.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
