New DCs in Baltimore and Pittsburgh

[jfkbengals]

So Don Martindale and the Ravens announced they were parting ways yesterday

And today Keith Butler announced his retirement.

Looks like the AFC North will look a bit different next year.

And it looks like the Steelers are promoting Teryl Austin to DC.

Who are the top QB prospects in the 2023 Draft?

Bryce young (who I’d be fine with them taking) and CJ Stroud come to mind (people will bash him for being an OSU QB but that kid has ridiculous accuracy. Like Joe Burrow accuracy).

Sure there will be a few more guys show off next year and work their way into the convo. Wouldn’t surprise me if Pitt already has their eye on one player… sneaky bastards

I’ll still enjoy beating the snot out of them for a couple of years minimum!

FYI from Baltimore... Wink was on the last year of his deal and wanted a new contract. After the year we had on defense, we declined and the two sides parted ways. Wink has the resume' and reputation that he was comfortable leaving. He'll land on his feet. Will be interesting to see who we bring in but the Ravens usually promote from within and keep the culture of defense the same. Mike McDonald turned Michigan's defense around and was here before that. I'd bet he's a favorite.

Congrats Bengals fans, you guys deserve it after all these years. You got the bullseye on your back now. Can't wait to play next year.

Wow. Burrow knocked off 2 DCs in one year. 

Imagine what he will do when he actually gets good.

Or has something resembling an OLine in front of him.

Think about the defenses Joe has knocked off in the playoffs alone.. They were tough, but Joe is tougher..
