I was surfing the internet late last night in an attempt to find an interesting Bengals article and I came across this gem. As many of you know, I've been harping about this teams (coaches/owner?) reluctance to replace over-the-hill veterans (Maualuga/Peko/Johnson) with rookies via the draft or through free agency. Well, it looks like they're starting to understand this most very basic of football concepts with a vow from DC Paul Guenther that changes, they are a comin'. When reading the article, take notice of words or phrases that sound like some of the words (loyalty) or phrases that can be found in posts on this board. Uncanny. Enjoy gang. www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2016/11/07/forecasting-cincinnati-bengals-defensive-changes/93439088/ |

I've been meaning to bring something up for the last couple of weeks, but I keep forgetting to do so. Anyway, has anybody noticed that ex-Bengal WR Cobi Hamilton is getting a lot of snaps with the Steelers? The Bengals, a team in desperate need of WR depth after losing the services of Mo Sanu and Marvin Jones, sent Hamilton packing. And then there's Alejandro Villanueva, an ex-Bengal who is starting on the Steelers offensive line. I realize that Villanueva was a TE when he was with the Bengals, but you would think they would be more aware of his progress as a guard and bring him in for depth. Simply put, these are two more examples of the Bengals not doing their due diligence in building a better roster.

Haven't heard his name recently. |

Hate to burst your bubble but found this article on espn. Just pasting parts that matter. This is why ML needs to go.
"We have a lot of guys here who have been fixtures in our system for a long time," Guenther said. "But it's like I told them, it's a production business. Even though you've been that kind of guy that's been around here, if I think there is a younger player or somebody else that can do it better at this point, whether it be for 15 snaps, I have to look at that."
But Lewis appeared to squash the notion of younger players replacing veterans in comments posted on the Bengals' website. Those comments have since been removed from the website.
"I don't," Lewis told Bengals radio announcer Dan Hoard when asked if he anticipated younger players getting more snaps. "Paul shouldn't have ... you have to be careful doing that. We're going to keep working and guys will earn opportunities as we go. But you've got to earn opportunities. We're not going to just make a wholesale change and so forth.

Yeah Lost that's a philosophy that will always end up with the greater good a casualty and wasted seasons. We see in games how badly ML manages time. His decision making period are costing us at this point. His time to go is now.
