The Bengals have't won a playoff game since modern free agency was instituted

Malone/Core would very likely been given reps over Ross as soon as Ross made a gaffe. We likely would have seen Price starting at C with probably Hopkins at LG.

While the results haven't been where we would like, it is refreshing to see some new faces rather than the same ole', same ole' being rolled out.

I think the fact the Bengals couldn't sign Taylor until after the Super Bowl really put a hamper on getting the staff quickly enough. Then, he had to try to put a staff together, which took all of February. That left very little to no time for talent evaluation and probably contributed to signing guys like Hart and Brown in FA.

Plus, the coaches scout draft picks, free agents, evaluate the roster, develop playbooks, etc.

It's A LOT to ask for coaches...which is why having more scouts is beneficial.
