Al Golden is building a defense with a scheme we’ve never seen before in Cincinnati. If we objectively look at Shamar Stewart and Demetrius Knight we see speed and athleticism in common. What have we seen for the past few decades on defense? Big guys who couldn’t move. Defensive lineman got beat in the trenches. No linebacker we had could cover a tight end. Our defensive backs gave receivers more cushion than a Furniture Fair commercial with Anthony Munoz.
This is 2025 and the game passed the Bengals up. Speed is now more important than size on defense. Stewart and Knight are not typical Bengal draftees.
Let’s give this a chance. If it doesn’t work I’ll light the torches myself and carry a pitchfork.
Very well said.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
