I could be wrong, if I am I'm sure someone here will point it out, but I haven't seen where anyone said we are targeting two guards in FA. Personally I see them targeting a G and T combo. I know a lot of folks here want Sewell and I do not I also know it's very unpopular around Bengals circles and in todays climate it seems if you don't go with the popular opinion you and your opinion isn't valid. We are above this here, or at least I hope we are, and I'm not going to be afraid to share my opinion.Jmble wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 8:47 amMeat, I'd love the idea of getting a proven vet at Right Guard, but I just don't see this team signing two proven free agent Guards and a proven free agent Tackle. If the team were able to sign Zeitler and Thuney (which is a big if) I would bet the best we would see signing at Right Tackle would be another Bobby Hart type who has potential but hasn't lived up to it yet hoping for a change of scenery type bump in his performance. If we are going that route I'd rather take the highest rated Tackle in the draft and do the same thing with him. Just because we haven't found success lately doesn't mean it can't happen. Six of the top ten highest rated Tackles in 2020 were drafted in the first round. I think Sewell or Slater are worth the shot.
If you thought I was attacking your opinion, I apologize. I was just giving my own opinion back with one stat for why I feel that way.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:15 am

Forgive me if you took that away from my post, I in no way thought you were attacking me. I know I haven't had the privilege of meeting you guys in person which does help with how things are expressed. Hopefully someday we'll have a giant OSF meetup, maybe if my business grows big enough I'll get a season box there at the stadium and get you all in for a game.Jmble wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:20 amIf you thought I was attacking your opinion, I apologize.

You are correct that nobody said we are targeting two Guards. I was just going with B-1's scenario which is what you were commenting on which had Zeitler and Thuney. If we bring a quality RIght Tackle in here I would be thrilled. I'm the one who has been hyping Micah Parsons at number 5.
