Bengals release Germaine Pratt - LB

[Pass2Run]

Is he an Eberflus type of LB, its one thing to try and be a LB whisper with talent that has underperformed and under contract in Dallas already its another to pick up a guy that may not fit the Eberflus mold. But what do I know I guess a LB is a LB and they can be interchanged like Mr. Potato head parts.

Hahaha

Not that it's a definitive since it is PFF, but they ranked Pratt at a 70.1/Run defense grade/ranked 63rd (overall graded 60/110th ranked) vs Kendricks got 78.3/Run defense grade/ranked 33rd (overall graded 72/27th ranked). So if this is a need, just go get Kendricks cheap vs Pratt who isn't an improvement

I’d be fine with Kendricks too, but Kendricks is 4 years older and a lot lighter. I’m looking for a more physical presence. I had no issue with Kendricks on a cheap one year deal if they brought him back but I’m guessing they thought he was aging out and that his best years were behind him at this point. Plus last year he was in a defense he knew and was in for years

We like our guys

Lol, our 2 starting linebackers are new.

He's an average player, nothing special. We know our owners are cheap, they aren't paying much for a guy who really doesn't add a lot.

I love these type of comments. They are cheap. Then I like the next type that says they are dumb and pay too much

 

[rambo2]

If he requested a trade he wants to go to a SB contender or at least an NFC or AFC championship game. That doesn't leave him many choices but Dallas ain't one of them.

Why not Dallas? They are allowed to be a contender.

Why not Dallas? They are allowed to be a contender.

Because the Dallas Cowboys have not fielded a viable team in 3 decades. These days we are more of a brand being advertised by individuals who sometimes play football.
