You are my new best friend! Goodberry's takes are crap. 

I see a lot of people have already forgotten about Chase Brown already. He is a weapon in the backfield and in my world, defenses don't want to see this guy in the open field.

Well i am a fan of Goodberry and while I agree with most of his takes and find the way he uses pff and other data points very interesting. I don't take what he says as the gospel. But he doesn't say we have to throw it the most in the league. I'm curious what part of Zacs time here points that he wants a running game to be anything more than a compliment to the passing game? Surely not after the season Burrow just had you think we are gonna start to lean on the run game? 

The point on resigning Higgins I agree with Goodberry is that it's hard to get really good players in your building. That there are alot of ways to build a successful team and you can't just have a set model. Because if you only value certain positions but then hit on players outside of your model and let them walk. Then you only add to the list of positions you need to try and get a really good player. The Bengals have been to set in there model of roster and contracts for too long. Break the model of only 1 high paid receiver because that's what are team has right now and stop worrying about the future on contracts. Pay the players you have now and figure the future out when you get there.

I'm curious if you could give an example of a crap take? Not trying to argue just genuinely curious what position he has taken that you disagree with. Outside of the current Higgins contract I would say.

He's my least favorite Bengal podcaster.  His cosplay Tony Stark intro is annoying as shit.  Almost as annoying as Dehner's intro songs  Almost as annoying as the Power Ranger Helmet that Rapien insists on having behind him during his show.

I prefer my sports reporters to be dudes that look like they just came off a bender at the dog track.  

The others can get off my lawn.

We don’t need Tee nearly as badly as we need to upgrade the IOL.

At the end of the video Burrow is talking about being able to sign everyone. Perhaps not too much to take from it but he does say the "players want to make it happen and all stay together".
