Marvin didn't get to sign free agents. That was up to the front office, as it is now.
Marvin didn't want Ross, but Tobin took him anyways.
Marvin expected Whit back, but Troy the Turd insulted Whit and low balled him.
Sample in the 2nd round???
It's hard to mess up on the #1 overall pick when there's a clear cut best guy to take.
Taylor was involved in re-signing Hart to a 3 year deal. He was also in on signing Miller to a 3 year deal. And Webb to a 3 year deal. And that LB Brown to a 3 year deal.
Most of those guys washed out after 1 year. Hardly quality talent evaluation.
Taylor just plain sucks. His record is horrible and it's 100% on him.
Zampese was the OC when Ross was drafted, and he was a big supporter of Ross.
As we know though, Zampese was let go after just like 5 games or whatever and then Lazor took over.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

2 games. Ross's benching followed that.

Covington is the NT, Daniels the 3T, as Ocho mentioned.
Just look at their pass rush numbers and you'll see who's the guy for each spot lol

Thanks. I thought it was a bit longer than that, but I was wrong.

So, putting my detective hat on, does this point to Hunt? I figure for the guy to have heard it from the player, then the guy is likely to be a former Bengal, rather than a FA on another team.
He is a good 9th/10th DL to have. A bit of DT/DE versatility. If you want to carry 9 instead of 10 that helps. Still room for a #2 3T and a #3 DE.
Or I could be totally wrong.

It could be Kerrigan. The Bengals played that one smart, and made him a reasonable offer, then let him walk. He has not found many teams interested in paying him, his age is working against him. He either has to sign with the Redskins again or sign with us, and he's see the field more here. I don't think he's gotten interest elsewhere.

Im sure if he could have gotten the front office to be more active then he would have.
This....
I just happened to randomly watch the Bengals and Falcons game from 2018 last night as I was dozing off. Night and day better product on the field back then than we've seen for 2 seasons. But yeah... Let's give this guy all the time and excuses he needs til he figures out how to do his job.

Sorta like:
Hawk
Harrison
Dansby
In fairness... Dansby would've been a great signing in 2013.

I do agree with Ocho's remark though. I see better than I hear. You can tell me your plan. You can tell me the intended results of your plan but if your plan doesn't show results then your plan doesn't work.
6-25-1 says to me your plan doesn't work. A "good" coach would've assembled a coaching staff to take advantage of the talent that was currently in place and change to a zone defense over time. Not bring in a coaching staff and be like well our talent doesnt match our scheme want to run but hell lets run a zone defense anyway.
I think that's been my biggest issue with Taylor and his staff is not using the talent that was in place and changing over time. Change to your plan. if you don't have the talent to immediately switch to a zone defense then why in the hell are you brining in a DC who wants to run a zone scheme.
I get it, that is why only asked for a touch or a pinch. If you start there, ypu may enjoy the ride one daay when they shock us all.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

TY for starting the OFFICIAL BENGAL'S THREAD
It appears we were duped by an unofficial FA move in a thread started with Daniels

Guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm not really that familiar with that guy, other than the stuff he does with Ace Boogie.

What Marvin accomplished while handicapped by the Bengal front office was very impressive.
We were drafting much better and spending to keep our own talent during most of Marv's tenure. We haven't had much of our own talent to spend on lately, hence the free agency splurges.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Also gotta do a little extra when working with less in the coaching department.

This seems suspicious. Not sure who is left that would qualify for such secrecy. Typically tne news is leaked if it is a big signing.
A small signing wouldn't garner such drama.
