Seems like he hit the mark more than most Bengals, if he was top 10 in tackles.

I won't be mad if he leaves or if he stays. Pratt is a good linebacker. His biggest problem is trying to rip the ball out, which is great when it works. But when it doesn't work, he gets carried 2 or 3 yards. Hopefully Golden will put an end to that. I'm sure he will dial him back to a 2 down linebacker.

howabout a trade to Indy where Lou landed for Kwity Paye?

Not familiar with Paye, but like I said I am not going to be upset either way whether he leaves or stays. I'm more focused on shoring up other positions.

I’m sure Indy will totally trade a 26 year old former 1st round pick who’s had at least 8 sacks in each of the last two seasons for a slow off-ball LB.

Meh, all that really means is that him and the defense were on the field A LOT last season. Plus Logan Wilson was out. He's probably not even sniffing top ten in tackles if Wilson is healthy.

Yep, I don't how many tackles I saw Pratt miss last year, but it was a lot whether he didn't wrap up or took terrible angles. It was bad.

He bulked up and sucks in coverage. 3rd down liability vs the pass. Still a good LB vs the run.

The tackles stat can be misleading. Remember it still counts as a tackle even if it’s 11 yards downfield.
Pratt just looked slower last year and not as athletic. Maybe he’d look better with Wilson out there but I think he is replaceable for sure.

I can’t hate on him too much because I will never forget that pick to ice their 1st playoff win in forever.

Pratt was always replaceable(even Wilson believe it or not)

Bates was the guy who needed to be re-signed

Only if Indy includes Jonathan Taylor and Quenton Nelson
