He fell for a reason.

Maybe because he wears glasses too small for his face.. I'm just guessing..

Giving up waaaay to fast on a player, freaking game 2???
Once Assai is back, we will be better there and can let Myles get back to developing

Yup...was a great FA for us., and provided that inside rush we totally lack. I Hate to see him doing it with Steelers now

The only one that is questionable is the only one that REALLY didn't make sense from the start: Robbins.

He's been worse than Huber AND Chrisman.

No weather issues on Sunday either.

The sad thing is that I was on the Robbins hype train too. I thought he was going to be a lot better than what he's been.

If you're gonna pay superstars on offense, you're going to need good players on rookie deals on defense. Pretty simple concept to follow.....

Instead of drafting a raw not ready to produce project 
Zadarius Smith would have fit this defense perfectly 

Gotta have funds available for that.

Why can't we look at Matt Araiza?

It's not that we didn't want to re-sign him, he got a 40 million dollar contract from the Bears. Then he flunked his physical because his foot hadn't healed.

If Murphy has anything to offer, it will be in 2025. He doesn't have hands and moves yet to utilize his athleticism. Some scouts warned that he doesn't have it. IDK.

I'm not sure why people don't remember this?  Also, he actually wasn't better than Hill that season.  He had more flash plays but also way too many missed tackles and assignments.

It was very clear at draft Myles was 2-3 years away from being a real contributor

I guess ppl thought that was a joke

I cannot believe the shit Myles is getting

I think the problem people have is that we NEED more of a pass rush NOW. So, I can understand there impatience

I would rather they had taken a TE.But,Murphy was not a reach,where the Bengals picked.All the draft sites,and the draft book,I had,he was rated ,the 12-14th best player ,overall.

Araiza is still in court fighting the rape stuff.  Nobody is going to touch him until that is cleared.

Michael Turk is available.  I thought we should have taken him instead of Robbins.

Why not next year instead of 2 years down the road?

I think getting some snaps as a rookie this season and having an entire Offseason next year could get him up to par.

Good question and very true about how both DT's played that year. Ogunjobi also gets hurt a lot and BJ Hill stays healthy.

Love what I see from Larry O in bursts, but he is a flashy player, not a consistent one. Wish BJ would flash more though and get
to the QB more often and get some sacks, could happen soon. Expecting to see more from the 3-tech position as Carter grows as
a player and Ossai comes back to really gives us a good rotation on the DL.

So this thread is about the Bengals should've took Will Levis over Myles Murphy. DUMMIES!!!
