His job is to listen to coaches and get the players they are asking for. To me, this staff all seems to be on the same page and work well with each other. Whether or not that happened in the past, I don't know.

Yep exactly. From what I understand Duke and his staff's purpose is to bring information to the coaches so that they can make executive decisions about the roster. He isn't calling the shots at the end of the day, just providing the information to make the best choices.


Historically, the Bengals have been unwilling to spend in free agency.. is that Dukes fault? I wouldn't think so.

Additionally, he is going to follow the orders of the coaching staff. If they are looking for type A trait, he will find players with type A trait. He needs to be guided by the coaches on what they are looking for to fit their schemes and plans for the franchise. PA pounded the table for Obguehi, so again, is that Dukes fault? I wouldn't think so.

Duke can only lead a horse to water is how I see it lol
