I like your comments about Collinsworth. Do you know if he's an actual consultant to Mike Brown or not?
In regards to your comments about tanking the season from the onset, to me, they are preposterous and conjecture all the way. The reports were that they hired Taylor b/c he was 100% on board with Dalton as their starting QB and could win with him at the helm. From the onset, no one knew AJ would get hurt in the first practice, Glenn sitting out several games, and you certainly don't go out and tell your players to "tank" or don't play hard b/c we want to draft Tua #1. It's just so ridiculous it's laughable.
Collinsworth is friends with MB, that is all I know.
It wasn't meanto tank from the start as you know if you watched the opener in Seattle. They could of beat them and they were
going all out in this game. Once they met the 49ers the Superbowl team they were clearly outmatched without AJ or Jonah nd Glenn
and Ross didn't stay healthy either and they went on that skid. Once they were out of it they seemed to tank on purpose specially
once they benched Dalton for Finley and Finley clearly wasn't ready and was not the answer.
I don't find it as far fetched as you think Jersey, even I wanted us to tank for the first pick after this and I never have thought this.

I do not know if these changes will lead to wins, but what is certain to me at this point, there is a well measured calculated approach to fix tackling and defensive scheme alignments via the free agency with the addition of players in their prime.
This opens the draft to fix the offensive side of the ball.
Bengals lost 8 games last year by one score without their starting LT and their pro-bowl WR. This could easily become an 8-8 team maybe 10-6 after the draft.
Years past, this would not happen. Makes one think that Taylor has convinced the front office to take risks against the cap. I do not know where the Bengals are getting all this money but they have to be close if not over the cap.
Completely agree with you Psych.
