@BengalsTalkSI He didn’t demand anything. He was right about ridiculous it was playing on Thursday night in Baltimore 3 years in a row.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@KirkHerbstreit Herbie - don’t think Tim Engleka or Bob Gregg let that slide. There is celebrating and then there is showing your opponent up.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@BurrowBeliever Has to play a whole season and with Burrow at full capacity. Bengals will be a favorite to win it all in 2026.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@BengalsTalkSI ESPN and other national pundits are infatuated with getting Burrow out of Cincy. Just like they like to talk about the Jets who haven’t been relevant in 30 years.

@JoeGoodberry Health and mid tier NFL defense.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@teeithiggins Who are we trying to keep? - Ossai, Fant and Risner

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@JoeGoodberry You can understand the clunkers against MN and DEN after Burrow gets hurt. The last 4 losses had been more about coaching than personnel. Losing to Jets was inexcusable and the last 2 weeks the offense has been awful for the majority of the game. That’s in Zac.

@thatdullguy Who can?

@SleeperBengals 19-6 - Bengals

@bhoskins79 Just because your a veteran doesn’t mean you deserve a starter’s spot. Playing well still matters

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@Andrew_Russell7 Cleveland’s defense is elite. They will always be in games because it will be rare when they give up more than 17 points. Only happened in Baltimore because of turnovers and special teams.

@WINCINNATI_ 5

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@JoeGoodberry Honestly, I think the answer is on the other side of the ball. Who can we bring in to make sure the defense keeps teams from scoring more than 20 points a game on us. With Burrow, we could afford to get in some shootouts but we are going to have to win many 21-17, 24-21 games.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@pauldehnerjr DE,DL, TE and WR are the most subbed positions so doesn’t really matter who starts. They all need to make their snaps count.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@KelseyLConway Don’t really see it that way. If Trey performs as he did last 2 years, he gets tagged next year at 36M guaranteed which is what he wanted all along.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@CincyJungle Lots of reasons for this guy to sign. Misses money this year. Longer runway to next contract assuming he’s any good. Probably falls out of first round next year so less overall money.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@JamesRapien No way you put Hendrickson in the same category as TJ Watt. Watt is all over the field for everything. Hendrickson does one thing very well and is mediocre outside of that.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@BengalsTalkSI @JamesRapien Honestly, the Bengals have handled this well. These comments could have been worded better. Ultimately, after the draft and they settle on roster this will probably get worked out.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@CJAbbott4 @BengalsTalkSI @JamesRapien Only time I can remember them trading up was to get KiJana Carter.

[Kevin Bertke @bertke1217]

@BengalsTalkSI From now on, can we just take risks with 7th round picks or UFAs like Vontaze Burfict.
