And, just how sick are we all of hearing about the Browns in 2019? We also take a look at an under-the-radar quarterback brought to our attention by a reader.EDTShareTweetShareShareBengals mailbag: Brown is the new black and it’s about the Devin’sWe’re ever so close to the Bengals’ first draft class of the Zac Taylor regime. As he and his staff gear up for their haul of promising rookies, fan questions are growing louder. Of course, the top question is if the Bengals will go the sensible/safe route and address their most pressing needs, or if they will opt for a splashy, unexpected path. Even though they brought back Preston Brown in free agency, the Bengals still have glaring issues at linebacker. Cincinnati made the tough but wise decision to let Vontaze Burfict go, and the bodies that comprise the rest of the group leave a lot of questions. So, naturally, LSU’s Devin White and Michigan’s Devin Bush are atop of many fans’ wish list as the team looks to go on the clock with the 11th overall pick. But, what if both are off of the board, for some reason?That’s one of the questions we received from a caller on a recent episode of The Orange and Black Insider. What is the best course of action, should this take place?Obviously, a variety of factors play into a decision in this potential scenario. Namely, who is left after White and Bush are gone. If this unlikely sequence of events does play out, that likely means that the Bengals will have their pick of the offensive linemen litter. There isn’t a top-five pick as a lineman in this year’s class, but there are plenty of options who could fill long-term needs up front. Names like Oklahoma’s Cody Ford, Alabama’s Jonah Williams and a myriad of others should be available in the wake of a linebacker run. Clouding the likelihood of an offensive line pick, though Jeff Driskel Jersey , is the team’s activity at those spots in free agency. While it doesn’t necessarily blow fans’ hair back, the team brought in John Miller to start at right guard, as well as Bobby Hart to line up at right tackle. They also tendered Alex Redmond a restricted free agent offer to shore up depth. Throw in the acquisition of two other starters last year in Cordy Glenn and Billy Price, and we could envision a war room debate about the need of more high capital used up front. Not that I agree with the “anti side” of that particular debate, but I digress.The other sensical route would be for Cincinnati to go with defensive line. There is a glut of interior and edge talent in this class, so the Bengals could opt for an heir apparent for the likes of Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and/or Michael Johnson. A couple of Clemson linemen could immediately help what was a porous defense in 2018, while Ed Oliver might be “the fall guy” who lands in Cincinnati’s lap. Then, there are the possibilities at quarterback. Common knowledge has the Bengals grabbing one by the conclusion of night two, with an outside chance that No. 11 could be used on “the future”.There is more talent at the position coming up in 2020 and 2021, but, as we’ve said on our show before, Taylor may view this draft as the one to make his mark. And, if “the Devin’s” are gone, that might mean a quarterback like Dwayne Haskins falls in their lap. It comes down to if the Bengals want to rebuild for a year and set up their next quarterback nicely, or if they want to immediately turn the page. But, will they even be able to execute the former strategy without White or Bush at their reach?They could move up for a premium player, but Cincinnati rarely ever does that. Moving back to collect picks in this scenario could make sense, as they won’t want to reach for anybody this year. Still, we’ve seen enough of moving back for lesser talents over the years. If you’re asking me now about this scenario http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-clint-boling-jersey , I’d say they go with defensive line. Between their inactivity in free agency at those spots and their putrid performance last year, that would seem to make the most sense. Are you sick of hearing about the Cleveland Browns yet?Yes. In a matter of less than 12 months, the Cleveland Browns have become the media darlings of the NFL. It’s not without good reason, given their No. 1 overall pick who shined at quarterback, as well as their acquisitions of wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr. in consecutive offseasons. It’s not like their on-field performance last year didn’t lead to high expectations for the club, either. They finished the last half of the season with a 6-2 record, including two wins over the Bengals and another near-victory against Baltimore in the finale. And, unlike previous promising teams the Browns have fielded since their 1999 NFL re-inception, the 20-year anniversary squad has some major swagger. Whether it’s from OBJ and “Juice”, or the insanely confident Baker Mayfield, the Dawgs aren’t backing down from many opponents this year. Remember 2003-2007 in Cincinnati, though? Under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals had arrived and continued to sniff greatness. A combination of young, confident talent along with some “bad boys” gave the early Lewis squads some serious smack to talk. What did it lead to? One playoff berth in those five seasons without a single postseason win. While what transpired across the state around 15 years ago doesn’t necessarily translate to this year’s Browns, there are similarities. Like the fact that both the Bengals and Browns have the reputation of management instability/incompetence.Furthermore, Cleveland has just one playoff berth over the past 20 years and are coming off of a 2018 season where they notched a losing record. They also have a first-time head coach in his inaugural season. This is the team that most outlets are projecting to win 12 games this year? Look, good for Cleveland, I suppose. They’ve been kicked around for so long, Bengals fans can associate with the Dawg Pound on the immense heartbreak that often comes with professional football in Ohio. And Alex Erickson Jersey , logic tells us that the Bengals and Steelers could be down this year, with questions also surrounding the Ravens’ long-term viability. The door is definitely open. Still, this Browns team is being lauded so greatly, they are being set up for a gigantic fall. After a quality first two seasons, Jameis Winston hasn’t been anywhere near the same guy he was back in 2015-2016. Mayfield may very well be on his way to superstardom, but we’ve seen even the most promising quarterbacks crumble when immense expectations get placed on their shoulders. The bottom line? Cleveland will probably sniff the playoffs this year and could win the division? However, if their “heritage” rears its ugly head once again in 2019, they could be infor one of the most disappointing campaigns in recent NFL history, if they don’t make a run.

A common theme from Zac Taylor’s opening press conference was holding players accountable and finding the right kind if guys. It is safe to say Jim Turner doesn’t fit that bill."The Bengals’ new head coach Zac Taylor was finally announced officially on Monday, and we were met with all the optimism you should expect from an introductory press conference on Tuesday. He said all the right things, and he seemed to have the full support of the team’s owner. Taylor also talked about a standard he hopes to create in Cincinnati.“Communication, character — those are two things that this thing will be built on,” Taylor told reporters on Tuesday. “I’m going to continue mention good people and having the right people. That’s coaches and players Clayton Fejedelem Jersey , because everyone has to have a shared vision and play for each other, and not just play for themselves. I have no concerns whatsoever that those people are in the building and will continue to add to that. The culture drives the program. Everyone runs the same plays, the X’s and O’s are all the same, but people dress it up a little bit differently. If everyone is playing for each other, then great things are going to happen for us.”Those statements don’t seem to match the recent news on the team’s search for an offensive line coach. Just hours after Taylor’s press conference, it was reported that the team is set to hire Jim Turner for the opening. That name may not ring any bells, but he was the Dolphins’ offensive line coach when the Richie Incognito and Johnathan Martin bullying fiasco went down. The same situation that recently led to Martin being arrested for threatening his former teammates on Instagram with a caption over a picture of a gun. That was of course started when Incognito and his teammates persistently harassed Martin during his time in Miami. Turner was fired by the Dolphins for his involvement in the bullying.Some may brush that off as a one time thing, and that we should give him a chance because people change. Personally, I also believe in second chances. You can look at Joe Mixon as an example of a second chance gone right. After his unforgivable assault of a woman while he was at Oklahoma, he has managed to avoid getting into trouble since joining the Bengals, and he has become one of the best teammates anyone could ask for.However, this seems like trend with Turner. He eventually went back to Texas A&M following trouble finding a job after the Dolphins fired him, but he couldn’t even get to the first game without getting suspended for making sexist jokes at a football clinic for woman.This isn’t “locker room talk”, nor does it show awareness for someone who already got in trouble for inappropriate behavior as an authority figure. Why is a man who has repeatedly showed he doesn’t deserve to be entrusted as a leader deserving of yet another chance? You can only imagine what his conduct is like in private when conversing with players and coaches. That isn’t the kind of guy you bring in when you want to build a culture of players and coaches who do it right. It also doesn’t help that his offensive lines have never had a track record of success either, which just makes the reported hire even more confusing. It would be a very unfortunate start for Taylor to start off his tenure with a hire like this.
