Brought in Zettel and Orchard

[SunsetBengal]

Zettel at least has some good experience under his belt. Logged 6.5 sacks in 2017, with the Lions. Seems like he could be a Wally Gilberry type of player.

It is on Bengal wire but I can't get the link to copy. Orchard looked good in the preseason. He was all over the field with a high motor.

I think Orchard is more of an Edge than a LB.

As unbreakable records go in CFB, Derrick Thomas' 27-sack season in 1988 at @AlabamaFTBL is right up there. In the last 10 years, only two FBS players have registered more than 18 sacks in a season. Washington’s Hau’oli Kikaha had 19 and Utah’s Nate Orchard 18.5, both in 2014. https://t.co/qzAaVqV9YT

He is. He was labeled as pass rush specialist coming out of college, needed to really work on his run support to become a well-rounded edge.

This is the type of season that you bring guys like that in for and see how they do for the future.

I liked Nate Orchard in college.

I could see Orchard potentially backing up Lawson, but I don't have confidence he'll ever become a 3-down DE.

Lawson is the kind of 1-dimensional pass rusher too.

Bengals signed Zettel. He seems more of a Wynn replacement than Orchard was.
