Roster Reset As Bengals Take The Field Cincinnati Bengals Geoff Hobson The Bengals gather this week for voluntary workouts with a vastly different roster than the one they had going into that last game on Jan. 3. You cant cut to 53 without a preseason, but this roster reset gets you started. QUARTERBACKS (4) Brandon Allen (5), Joe Burrow (2), Eric Dungey (1), Kyle Shurmur (1) Judging by their moves at quarterback, the Bengals appear confident Burrow is going to be back for the opener. His prac...

When I write this, don't get me wrong, I would love for Drew Lock to suddenly turn into an elite QB and become the face of the franchise and lead the Broncos to multiple SB titles. And while that...

3 Most Likely Hayden Hurst Trade Destinations By Larry Rupp | May 3, 2021, 10:48 AM EDT Three of the most likely trade destinations for Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst. | Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images The Atlanta Falcons selected one of the most exciting young players in the 2021 NFL draft this past weekend in Florida tight end Kyle Pitts. He is expected to have an immediate role on the offense and that could spell bad news for the teams starter at the position in Hayden Hurst. The Atlanta F...

Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The frenzy of undrafted free agency has kicked off, and the Cincinnati Bengals have been quick to try and snag some quality additions to their team. Starting off with Cincinnati’s addition of Marshall defensive end Darius Hodge, edge has been a clear area for concern for the Bengals in this draft, as they addressed it a couple of times. That didn’t stop them from adding Hodge to the group, though. It seems like Hodge will likely end u...

The Penn State tight end can do it all, and would provide some nice depth for the Bengals.

Kyle Pitts, wishing you were here Posted on Triaphilia is the official name of the superstition that bad things do come in threes. D.K. Metcalf, Justin Jefferson and now Kyle Pitts, Super Bowl contending franchises do not allow this pattern to get this far.  I predict Pitts to be available at pick 6, mock drafts are always trumped by the most important position in football, and several teams need a starting quarterback.  Without the normal combines and pro days, the trade talk discussions...

Under this new rule that has been approved by the owners, the receiving team will be able to have no more than nine players lined up in the “setup zone,” which is the area between 10 and 25 yards of the kickoff spot. In the past, teams routinely put 10 or 11 players in the setup zone in anticipation of the opponent opting for an onside kick. When the league changed the kickoff rules and eliminated a running start on kickoffs, however, the onside kick success rate fell. With fewer players no...

Set: Quarterback, running back, cornerback As the title suggests, the focus of this article is on needs.  We’ll discuss some depth moves as well but the Bengals have both Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon under contract until 2025 so they’re relatively “set” with starters.  They may have released Gio Bernard but Trayveon Williams actually graded out surprisingly well in pass blocking (which was Gio’s specialty) and they have him and Samaje Perine under cheap deals until 2023 so I don’t s...

A Draft That Inspires Fear By Chili Dawg on Apr 9, 2021, 6:13am EDT + Now that the noodle-armed red-headed stepchild is gone, we can finally have a draft that inspires fear. I decided to conduct a very non-Bengal-like draft since we all know wese livin on Burrowed time here in Cincinnatah. Of course, that means no more sittin on my hands and takin a siesta while them udder teams is on the clock, like my friends Mikey an Duke are wont to do. Instead, be proactive like a real man. You...

Sooner or later, the Cincinnati Bengals are going to need to add to their offense. They’ve approached free agency this year very much like how they began last year; agreeing to terms with a defensive lineman, and two cornerbacks. Surely an offensive lineman is on the way, but what about a pass catcher via a trade? Per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Philadelphia Eagles are allowing tight end Zach Ertz to seek a trade. The #Eagles have given long-time TE Zach Ertz, one of the faces of t...
