615finest Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Can definitely tell they knew oline was a weakness and probably identified that we have some guys that have tools that can be molded into something. definitely interested to see what direction the oline goes.. we have a wealth of oline knowledge now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airness McNairness Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 any idea if coach Fuchs wore 0 during his playing days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanLegend Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Is this a "Bill is close to retirement" hire? Just curious that an OL coach with apparently really good reputation leaves a job as a P5 OL coach to come be either an assistant OL coach or an offensive analyst. Possibilities of it being a pay raise or him being tired of the college football changes also exist I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing on a podcast a few months back how a lot of college coaches were desperately trying to find a way into the NFL by any means necessary because the current state of college football. I thought that was interesting hearing then but the fact a P5 HC moved to the NFL to be a DC and now Fuchs moved to be an assistant OL coach, shows some validity there. I’m sure coaching with/under and potentially being the successor to one of the best OL coaches of all time doesn’t hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell be tagged no doubt about it, I think we eventually trade for him. It just makes sense for the bengals to move on & get what they can for him. Yes they can afford him on the tag, but they can’t afford to tag him 2 yrs in a row, & if he plays hard ball threatening a holdout willing to sit out till week 10 the bengals are screwed. They focus should be on improving the OL by all means. Resign Williams & Boyd & draft Higgins replacement the draft is deep in WR & OL talent.

deeluxx3 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If there was a way to get Aiyuk via trade...I'd rather pay him big $ than Higgins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Geno Stone seems like the most obvious signing right now. It’s a need, played under Wilson, played at Iowa with Hooker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotonebluenation Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The more I look at these free agent WRs. The more I don't like em. We are gonna have to find another way to get a WR I feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we sign someone that people will sarcastically say "we are saved, player x who had 300 yards last year was signed!" We need a WR in the first 2 rounds one way or another.

Not sure who's telling you shouldn't, but I'd like Gabe Davis very much, as well. For that last part, though, I'd take the top two players for those two picks respectively, whether they play WR or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotonebluenation Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I don't mind Gabe Davis. But at a certain price. And there is no way we get him at a price I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I’m trying to figure out if there’s a Nate Washington/Rishard Matthews type out there, who’s under the radar but is capable of being a high quality #2 with on the right team or with bigger role. Maybe Darnell Mooney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
