3rd down defense

So 6/7 on third downs for the Bengals.  What's happened to this defense and why can't we get off the field on 3rd down?  We're leaving the middle of the field wide open for these guys.  If we're going to have a shot at winning this game, we have to do a better job of bracketing coverage.  It's very annoying to continue to see the defensive coordinator have no faith in the secondary.  At some point we won't be able to afford having the safeties constantly play a prevent defense out of fear of being beat deep.  What I'm seeing is a defense being called based on the philosophy of being reactionary as opposed to dictating to the offense.  This must be a second half adjustment to have any realistic shot at winning this game.  If we make this adjustment Cam will lead us home.  If the defensive calls are made out of fear then not only will we lose this game, our season may go down the drain. 

 

Gettleman you brought these secondary guys in.  Let them play. You will lose if you're more worried about protecting sub par players.  Now go sack Dalton and win the fugging game pls.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
