Hell hast frozen over. Domata Peko has signed a two year deal with the Broncos. No longer will we Bengals fans be forced to watch holes as wide as a semi open up in the middle of our d-line. Peko is gone and it's for the better. Personally, I would have waived him four or five years ago when he was one of, if not thee, lowest rated DT in the league for multiple seasons. However, I have always been a fan of Peko and I hope he turns his career around. I also appreciate all that he's done for the organization. There's a chance that Peko may play better in Denver because the coaching is better and the expectations are higher. Do I think he'll improve. No. Maybe slightly but for the most part I think he'll flop spending most of his time on the sideline. www.cincyjungle.com/2017/3/11/14895186/domata-peko-signing-2-year-deal-broncos-per-reportThe Bengals didn't sign G Kevin Zeitler and there are rumors floating around that they didn't even make him an offer! This is unforgivable. The Steelers had far less cap room available when they signed G David DeCastro to an extension and there are many, many other examples of teams inking expensive free agents that didn't have nearly the cap room that the Bengals have. This is just another example of how greedy Mike Brown is. He's more interested in making his pockets a little heavier than winning a championship and he always will be. Allowing Whitworth, Peko, Maualuga and Dansby to walk along with waiving Adam Jones would have given the team that much more cap space (money) to ink Zeitler. And to make matters worse, the 'mistake on the lake' Browns swooped in and grabbed him just as they did ex-Bengal G Eric Steinbach. This is an owner that doesn't learn from his mistakes allowing these mistakes to fester year in and year out. The Bengals had one of the worst lines in the league last year. Dalton struggled mightily playing behind them and what do the Bengals do? They allow their two best linemen to leave via free agency. The departure of Whitworth doesn't concern me nearly as much as the departure of Zeitler due to age. But inking one of these guys (particularly Zeitler) was a no-brainer. |

Rex Burkhead is visiting the Patriots as I alluded to this past season. If Burkhead sings with the Patriots, I think he'll put up the best numbers of his career minus injury. If this scenario does play out, it will be another example of Marvin Lewis' ineptitude as a head coach. Lewis underestimates the ability of younger players and the positive impact they can have on a team. If Peko were still a Bengal, Lewis would rather have him play on crutches than insert a younger player.
WR Kendall Wright has been waived. That's another salary that could have been used to ink Zeitler. Allowing Zeitler to walk was a dumbass move and one that will probably haunt this team for the next year or two. But does Mike Brown really care? Hell no. He's having too much fun making deposits.

Just read Hobson saying something like "The Bengals kept to their philosophy of not paying guards ala Steinbach".
All I gotta say is they need to design practices for Dalton to practice his pocket flush out moves or plain let the D take tackling practice so he learns to not get hurt. Because he is going to be an even bigger tackling dummy overall.
It's funny how this is being spun as a youth movement and the expectations of new leaders emerging. Meanwhile the same mediocre turds are running the show. My low expectations got lower. Haven't read any sports for a week til today. I don't think beer and weed could even give me the miniscule false hope I experience on occasion! LOL!

Zeitler should have been signed. Period. And as I suspected months ago, the New England Patriots have signed RB Rex Burkhead. If Burkhead stays healthy, Belichek will turn him into a great player. Lewis had no idea of the production that Burkhead possessed. It also appears that Lewis is lobbying for veteran free agents instead of playing the teams younger players. If this turns out to be true, it's just another example of poor coaching on the part of Lewis and company. |

How many times have you said to somebody when Burkehead would finally get in and make a play "..if this guy was with New England he would be a star.."? Well there he goes. Languished on our bench but... This one little move will underline the judgement level between champion and pretender. |

Carlos Dunlap Tweeted that he doesn't see the plan to get better by allowing your best players to walk. The Bengals don't sign outside free agents because they want to save that money to sign their own. That's what we fans have been told for several years now. So why did they allow Kevin Zeitler to walk? The had plenty of money to sign him. Like I stated before, Mike Brown has fallen off the wagon yet again by resorting to his old ways of being the stingiest owner in the NFL. It's all about money to this tightwad regardless of what he may claim. profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/15/bengals-carlos-dunlap-i-dont-see-the-plan/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter |

Redeemer strikes again. Brown giving Jones a chance and touting his power to do it.
Saw a blurb yesterday with Marvin talking no rebuild.
Just call me when there is any semblance of sanity and competitiveness. I think it's going to be a while.
