I'll take the Bengals coaching staff and the players they felt they needed to be brought in to fit in their systems over you just giving everyone your opinion that they didn't really upgrade anywhere.
I mean seriously???? What makes you an authority over the Bengals coaches and FO?
At the minimum using raw numbers, every defensive player they signed has a history of being good to above average tacklers! Guess what?
The players leaving their defense couldn't tackle anybody!! Did you watch the same games as me by chance???
And, since when is it better to pay(Overpay) a LB like Schobert and give them the same kind of money as a starting DB such as Waynes?
You'd have rather them spent that money on a LB? Are you kidding me?
The NFL values LB franchise tags almost as badly as Running backs.
The franchise tags for DB's are up there with the Left tackles and WRs. Everyone seems to realize the importance of the DB over the LB position except you. That's extortion what those LBers got.
And in regards to Vonn vs Williams, it's not even close J24.
In the last 4 years, Williams has 66 stops and 59 missed tackles. That's almost a 1:1 ratio. For a strong safety????
On the contrary, Bell had 107 stops to just 33 missed tackles. That's better than a 3:1 ratio. That's good for a Strong Safety!
And, he's 3 years younger than Williams.
He's not the free safety, he's the strong safety. He needs to be able to tackle in the back end and come down into the box when needed to either blitz or tackle someone.
Like I said, it's not even close.
I have faith in the Bengals coaching staff until proven otherwise.
the guy isn't good in pass coverage he's given up 10 Tds to one INT. It's a passing league & dude sucks in pass coverage.
Have you seen our LB core over the last 3 seasons they have sucked ass. So maybe improving the position work be IDK smart.
Thirdly I have watched every Bengal game since 2011 so yeah I watched the same games you have watched. The defense played like crap weeks 2-10 after that they solidified its self( after Brown was cut). The secondary wasn't the problem with the unit it was the LB core. Wayne's + Alexander is a minimal improvement at best over Dre + Dennard.
Littleton or Schobert would have been a major improvement over Vigil and Brown.
