Reading this I came away with one thought: re-sign Reiff. He’s the starting RT until Collins is healthy and he is probably the best starting option at LG if Collins is healthy as well.
Reiff was signed by the Bears today

The Bengals are definately leaders in the social media game. I really love the new jerseys too. Can't wait to buy a white mini helmet.
Definately liking that aspect.
Signing more free agents too. Getting a bubble.
Seems like all the things we complained about for years have changed in the matter of 1-2 years. I don't know why, but it's great!

My impressions on Mr. Brown's latest media chat:
1. I didn't like that he kept trying to lower expectations. He's always done this, even when we're successful. He treats winning like it mostly comes down to luck.
Yes, it's probably partially correct, but a lot of consistent winning comes down to culture, and I'd like to see Mike adopt the same mentality as Taylor and Burrow. Say you expect to win. Don't talk about "luck" or how hard it is.
2. Other than that, I loved seeing Mike. He looks healthy and solid mentally for his age. He also seems to have really loosened up on a lot of things. The ring of honor. Practice facility. Naming rights. Guaranteed money.
In the past, even when Mike loosened his grip, he'd still make little comments that made you realize he was very reluctant. I didn't see much of that. He really seems to be listening to his kids now.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
