My man is risking his job on these two taking huge steps.
Not to say they won’t make a move at LB still, good options in the draft, but there’s another vote of confidence citing “the last half of the season improvement” for the rookie LBs…
PSA: Some of you did not want to see him get canned.
Joke of an NFL team.
Even if they traded reps with a veteran guy always beside them it would’ve been stomachable, together it was brutal
The good news is this is a deep linebacker draft. The bad news is there still other holes on the defense so they need to be very strategic. Obviously Sunny Styles would be the perfect pic but R2 should have some strong candidates as well. If the top five players on our board are taken, we really should consider trading down.
I mean, what he is supposed to say? People hate on Taylor too much. He is not perfect but he isn’t responsible for roster creation or free agency moves.
Incompetence at its finest.
He’s correct. The only way these guys get better is being on the field and everyone in the sub that they need to let the young guys play.
This team is so fucked this year
They’ve made up there mind, they’ll draft a LBer and they’ve already decided what round it’ll be. Bengals front office has a nasty habit of not filling roster needs in free agency and forcing it in the draft. That prolly explains why they never draft the players that fall in the draft. If they decide they’re not interested in safety, they would skip over Downs, even if he was somehow available in the 2nd round. They create a plan and stick to it
I mean, we will see a big jump — but will it be at the start of the year or will it again be starting around week 10?
Your funeral.
He also said that adding a veteran linebacker or cornerback is still on the table and that free agency never ends.
Ha Al Golden said otherwise a month ago lol.
He couldn’t say anything else.. what did you guys expect? “Yeah totally, our LBs suck.. they are trash we need help ASAP”… of course not
Demetrius Knight is almost 26 years old
I mean he’s doing pr here unless he’s completely delusional and actually believes LB is all good
Worst linebacker duo in the NFL last year. Hoping they improve is an understatement and I hope we can sign an experienced free agent to guide those guys
Hope is not a plan. This is him covering for ownership and the front office.
Definition of insanity…
I know he can’t say anything else but it’s hilarious to say “we can’t overreact” when they literally had like the worst defense in 25 years or whatever
I don’t think the backlash is starting 2 rookies and enduring rookie mistakes as much as fielding a bottom 5 D in joes prime
Listen to the episode of The Growler pod today. Dehner talked a lot about the LB situation.
