Zac Taylor couldn't technically start working with the Bengals until Feb 4.
He then had to assemble his entire staff, of which took practically the entire month.
That left very little time to research and plan for players in FA.
I think because of that whirlwind, the team relied on re-signing players like Hart, Brown, Uzomah, Eifert, and Dennard while signing backup-caliber outside FAs with ties to Anarumo like BW Webb and Kerry Wynn.
I'm willing to give Taylor one more offseason to turn things around since he'll have a full offseason starting 12/30/19 (day after Week 17) to fully dive into everything.
I'm really hoping we see one of two approaches:
1) Team truly identifies the age of the core talented players and goes all in for 2020 by picking up quality starters in FA who are in the Top 15 at their position.
2) Go full rebuild and not have the following players back who will be in the final year of their contracts or will hit FA: Green, Dalton, Glenn, Eifert, Vigil, Dennard, Smith. I'd also look to trade/cut Kirkpatrick, Hart, Brown. If the Bengals go this option, they would have $100+ mill to spend. Some FAs I'd love to see are Littleton, Castonzo and/or Bulaga, and a WR (there are plenty solid vet options to pick from).
As of right now,I do not trust ANYONE to do anything right,and I feel as if the players have already called it in.So so many of these guys were NEVER make the roster on the pats team or any team that has a good coaching staff.This was the worse embarrass ing loss to the stoolers we have ever had and what was so bad it was on Monday night with the whole world watching.We were clearly outcoached,outplayed,the steelers have real players that will simply knock your head off and our guys are a bunch of ***** out there.Please someone replaced andy Dalton and give the other guy a chance and to me he is not going to be your long term answer.To lose the way we did on MNF was the last straw to me. I hate pissburg and all of the players there and I want nothing more than to just beat them down to a pulp.I feel this team is going to struggle just to beat the cards.Please,all you fans that go to the game,just boo the whole game.ZT to me is looking more like Dave Shula and I think he is over his head,not to mention he needs a ton of players and some fire in the belly.I see none of that. :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul:
