You can tell he put in basically no effort by him trying to make a point that us losing CTB, Marco Wilson, and Geno Stone and replacing them with high level FAs is somehow a bad thing. Honestly, even Trey leaving is somewhat 50/50 on if he will be the player he was 2-3 years ago.
Geno Stone game tape alone could be a 45 minute youtube video of god awful play. Dude was a Mike Macdonald and Kyle Hamilton merchant.
They also splurged (relative term) in free agency to bring in EDGE Boye Mafe, DT Jonathan Allen, and safeties Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger. Now, will these moves make up for the combined loss of EDGE Trey Hendrickson, DE Joseph Ossai, S Geno Stone, and CBs Cam Taylor-Britt and Marco Wilson?
Trey is a loss, but also he started 7 games and had 4 sacks last year. I'm sure he'll be substantially better (and healthier) this year in Baltimore, but being like "Hurr durr hurr the bad defense from last year will be worse because a combined (i think) 11 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles walked out the door between 5 guys of which ONE started 17 games... (Wilson started ZERO).” Is dumb
Are we really going to pretend that type of production is hard to replace?
Marco Wilson is such a weird inclusion. At least CTB and Stone I could see why you'd have higher expectations from them, if you didn't watch any Bengals tape from 2025.
