The Bengals had to start replacing players drafted from 2009-2012 like Andre Smith, Jermaine Gresham, Michael Johnson, Clint Boling, Kevin Zeitler, Mohamed Sanu, Marvin Jones, George Iloka.... and they couldn't do it because of Duke's bad drafting. That's why Marvin finished his NFL career with 6, 7, and 6 win seasons. That and because Zimmer left.
If i'm not mistaken, Duke has been working with the Bengals since 1999. I'm not entirely sure when he became the head honcho. Aren't all of those players you just mentioned that needed to be replaced ALSO tied to Duke Tobin?
