He's coming from a 4-3 scheme....I don't see him playing a big role in this defense 

The Bengals took a guy with big upside, but they took a guy who's most glaring weaknesses were flexibility, bend and closing speed and then decided to stick him on the end.  Pointless and a waste if you ask me.  He was never really in a position to succeed in Cincy in the first place.  He was projected as a 3-4 DE and that's where he'll most likely move to where he'll operated as a 3 and 5 tech.  If he ever lives up to the potential that got him drafted in the 2nd, he'll have a better chance here than in Cincy.  

 

I'm not expecting a world beater, but Ballard clearly sees the upside in a player who was never utilized to his strengths, and instead, put in a position that his physical shortcomings could never really overcome.

    • Isaiah Land he says.     Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land. An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough. Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.    Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection. 
    • Nice catch Stitch.  Year two of Steichen, our very functional TE group and Downs gives me very high expectations that we will be highly effective attacking the middle of the field. If we do add another WR to help complement the other side of the field, Pittman's ability to be even more outstanding only goes up. And I feel confident another guy will be added. Our offense should be very strong for 2024.
    • I'm hopeful Colts resign Blackmon and do this in the draft
    • I just saw Pittman's "Reception Perception" charts... so here it goes:
