As awards season wraps up Renell Wren Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , let’s take a look at who’s bringing home the hardware from the Bengals’ 2018 season."The end of February means that everyone’s favorite awards show is on.That’s right. It’s time for the CINCYs!The Bengals are getting ready to give out the most coveted awards of the season. Years of preparation has gone into this moment, and players will either come out on top, or be sent home with aspirations of victory for next year.This years’ CINCYs will feature both first-time award winners, and decorated veterans.Without further ado, the winners of the 2019 CINCYs are:Best picture: This photo, Geno Atkin’s InstagramWhat’s not to love about his picture? The Bengals poncho? That winning smile? The fact that this is clearly an ad but there is no “#ad” in the caption?This has everything the Academy is looking for in a picture, so it’s no wonder they gave Geno the most prestigious award.Best performance in a leading role: A.J. Green, Week 2: Ravens vs. BengalsA.J. Green, who is the Bengals version of Meryl Streep, takes home another win. His three touchdowns in the first 30 minutes captivated audiences and critics alike, leading to yet another award for Green’s crowded mantle.Best performance in a supporting role: Joe Mixon, Week 4: Bengals vs. FalconsJoe Mixon Renell Wren Jersey 2019 , who typically plays leading roles, took a backseat in Week 4: Bengals vs. Falcons. Green dazzled again and nearly won hardware for this role as well. But Mixon made an appearance towards the end and really added some extra juice to the whole thing.Best costume design: Color Rush Jerseys, Week 1: Bengals vs. ColtsPhoto by Bobby Ellis/Getty ImagesColor Rush Jerseys narrowly edged out Clark Harris’ performance from Week 16: Bengals vs. Browns, but the Academy ultimately gave the nod to the first game of the season. The simplicity of the design was what tipped the Academy’s scales in Color Rush Jerseys’ favor.Best Director: Darrin Simmons, Special TeamsPhoto by Getty ImagesIt’s safe to say that the Bengals produced a lot of terrible film this season, and most of the directors lost their jobs because of it. But Darrin Simmons was one of the lucky few to keep his job, so he will get to take the award.Best song: Good Day, Seize the DEYThe Bengals featured Nappy Roots’ “Good Day” in Seize the DEY, which the Academy surprisingly didn’t get totally sick of after the 100th time.Best foreign film: Moritz B枚hringer, Player Pathway ProgramBruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY SportsThe only foreign player on the roster, Moritz B枚hringer found a spot on the Bengals practice squad thanks to the Player Pathway Program. The German tight end’s 2018 film shares a remarkable trait with all the other foreign films at the Oscars: you probably didn’t watch it.

We look at a couple of best scenarios. EDTShareTweetShareShareWhat’s the best configuration for the Bengals’ offensive line?You have to give the Cincinnati Bengals some credit for recognizing a problem and working pretty hard to fix it. After the offensive line struggled for a couple of seasons, as well as internalizing the observation that two former high picks weren’t working out, the team has embarked on a two-year rebuild of the unit. Of course, any credit given in this regard has to also be tainted because of the allowance of the whole Kevin Zeitler/Andrew Whitworth exodus of 2017. Still, the investment of two first round picks (Billy Price and Jonah Williams) and two Day 3 picks (Rod Taylor and Michael Jordan), as well as the acquisition of six new veteran contracts for players (two from the outside), shows a solid re-commitment to righting the ship.As the Zac Taylor era is officially kicking off with OTAs, some big news occurred in the form of a re-shuffling of the offensive line...again. The biggest news was is in Williams lining up as the starting left tackle, while Cordy Glenn, who manned that spot in 2018, got pushed inside to guard. A sub-headline of the story was that veteran mainstay Clint Boling was out of the alignment. Now Youth Renell Wren Jersey , it’s important to note that he’s healing up an injury, but even with the understandable absence, confusing smoke signals about the versatile lineman have been sent. On this week’s episode of The Orange and Black Insider Bengals podcast, John Sheeran and I discussed the best potential alignments of the unit for 2019. In doing so, there are obviously a number of factors to consider. Politics: Yes, they exist in football too, folks. Whether it’s in handing starting spots immediately to the first-round picks of Williams and Billy Price, or in the continuing preference for Bobby Hart after a subpar 2018 season, hands can be forced. Cincinnati has invested high capital in these three players and they need to find out if they can carry the unit. Continued career development: This is especially true in the case of both Hart and Price, as both didn’t have the strongest campaigns last year. However, Cincinnati holds the belief that both of these players will be critical to the success of the offense this year (which is true), as well as that they will reach their highest potential in 2019. Turn on the tape—even if it’s from college: Many who have followed Price’s career note that he actually had some superior film as a guard White Renell Wren Jersey , rather than a center at Ohio State. Meanwhile, Trey Hopkins showed a higher NFL value at center last year than Price in his spot starts, while inconsistency was shown at almost every other spot on the line in 2018. Ironically, the Bengals drafted Price’s college replacement this year in Michael Jordan, who also played center and guard with the Buckeyes—but which spot is a better fit? And, of course, Glenn showed promise as both a tackle and guard at Georgia, so the Bengals are apparently trying to tap his college days. Glenn’s comments about his meeting with Jim Turner: After the team drafted Williams, the new offensive line coach along with Zac Taylor had a couple of heart-to-hearts with Glenn. While part of what’s being appreciated with Taylor amongst his players is his honesty (John Ross III said the same recently about trade rumors), Glenn made it seem that his future with the club this year is at left guard, whether or not Boling is available.Some possible alignmentsThere is a fine line to walk with what to do on the Bengals’ offensive line this year. After shuffling things up the past two seasons and apparently doing the same this offseason, cohesion has not been the name of the game. However Nick Vigil Jersey White , said cohesion is one of the most critical aspects in the success of any offensive line and will need to be built quickly if the Bengals are to be competitive in year one of the Taylor era. So, is it wise to give the mantle of the most important position on the line to a rookie right away? Should the team swap out two or three starters from last year once again? Keep in mind that aside from trying to build cohesion, there is also the need for the new system to be digested from veterans of previous regimes.
