Imagine if our offense takes off. We are winning the Super Bowl. The defense looks like it might be elite this year, especially in the playoffs. We have the talent, just need to offense to gel, and we are going to smash everybody. :)
Sounds like a solid 1 to 2 down run stopper with great pedigree and locker room tags. @ 34 he may still have a bit of juice left in the tank...if that's the case, I agree with Mike D. If he makes his case well until the main guys get back, then absolutely make room on the 53. Could be a big role player if we can right things and get a ticket into Jan/Feb football 💯🔥
I kinda look at this like everyone looked at the Billy Price for B.J. Hill trade. At the time Bengals fans were ho hum about it. Glad that we could pawn Price off on someone ( a guy who was probably gonna get cut anyway ) but not thinking Hill would be any sort of difference maker. Turns out of course Hill had been very solid and has made a number of big, clutch plays for us. I think this could be one of those deals. And I also agree with you, if this defense can shut down the run it suddenly goes from really good to downright DOMINATING ! Not to toot my own horn...but if you recall I said before the season started this Bengals Secondary was gonna be crazy good. They may be the fastest Secondary group in the league and bringing back Von Bell to go along with Mike Hilton ( like having 2 coaches on the field ) has mostly eliminated the communication errors that were the cause of giving up so many explosive pass plays last season. Add to that that we have yet to see an entirely healthy D - Line group...as you said we're gonna get Rankins, Jenkins, Hill and Jackson back...we could be SCARY on Defense !
@@diamondrg3556 I'd love to see Njongmeta get more snaps...but he's an LB and I don't think they'd use him on DL unless it's as an Edge rusher. Now, there is a possibility that if the Bengals run any 3 - 4 packages, with the addition of Guy at DT....you could see Njongmeta get more snaps. But I don't think the Bengals run any 3 - 4 stuff. I could be wrong but I don't recall seeing them do it.
@@keithsowder4308 I don't understand defense packages very well. I was thinking he could play a QB/RB spy role. He makes sure the QB or RB doesn't run far.
@@diamondrg3556 Well, when I referred to a 3 -4, it means you have 3 DL ( usually 2 DE's and a NT ) with 4 LB's. Most of the time the Bengals only play 2 or 3 LB's depending on down and distance. You could put him in that "spy" role in a 3 - 4...or in other alignments....but which LB do you have him replace ? I can't see him playing over Wilson, Pratt or Gaither at the moment.
I'm like Missouri ---you gotta SHOW me that is a good signing. Kudos to the Bengals for finally doing something, but we should had did this months ago...🤦

I'm excited to see what the season will look like

He is exactly what we need since we lost reader. He will definitely make an immediately impact!!!!
With what was available in free agency for dt this is an A+++ sighning

Njongmeta made great plays in the preseason. Do you think he will get any snaps as a run defender if DL is hurt?

@@keithsowder4308 IDK, I just know he makes good plays against the run, and that is what is missing from the defense.

At this point we need bodies, hopefully he can stay healthy and show some of young guys some of his veteran tricks and such
I just hope he makes difference , we all
Thought rankins was gonna make big difference ,,. And really nothing happen
Dude looks like Stephen A. Smith on 'roids...
