Are the Bengals Being Forgotten About? Cris Collinsworth on Expectations & Burrow's Durability

Joe burough is everywhere all of a sudden this usual quiet uh character at least as we know him in the NFL in front of the cameras he's really doing a lot of marketing he's doing a bit of a media tour here and he he was saying yesterday that he's forgotten he's been forgotten by NFL fans after the year that he had filled with injuries uh and then he has he's going to give everyone something to talk about this season what do you make of that good I want him as mad as possible I just I want him irritated I want him upset that that people don't respect the Cincinnati Bengals and don't respect him and and uh and then go get them I mean Joe burrow when he's right the Cincinnati Bengals can play with anybody right I mean we they give the Kansas City Chiefs as many problems as any team in the league um and but it it's the clock is ticking you know they're already uh starting to unravel that team a little bit because you know they have to pay Joe and they have to pay Jamar and they going to have to you know so there are going to be some some people that that have to go Joe Mixon um had to go this year you know they have to save some money on on some different things so um yeah it's but when that guy is right he is really fun to watch and and I can't wait to watch the Cincinnati Bengals their problem is they got to try and slug their way out of that division yeah that division they they were nine they finished last and they had a winning record last year you know and Joe burrow missed whatever it was six or seven games at the end of the year so yeah be good uh it's a tough division he missed a ton of games you keep saying when he's out there when he's out how worried are you about his durability uh not I'm really not I I think that he's had some bad luck um he had what an appendex to me one year he had the knee injury got the elbow thing now I I and they've done the right thing by going out and getting uh more help on that offensive line Trent Brown Orlando Brown you know if they could really Shore up the outside edges he does a pretty good job of getting the thing out of his hands um so it'll be interesting to see you know exactly what they're able to pull off here this am Marius Mims who they signed and drafted is there just isn't a bigger being on Earth than than some of the guys they have playing tackle for the Bengals right now so yeah I'm hopeful I'm hopeful that they they end up having a good year despite the fact that everybody in Cincinnati thinks I hate the Bengals but I know I'm always trying to help you out with that as the princess you know I'm always trying to like come on let's let's get and you're saying you don't you're not worried about the durability you think that they'll be a force if he's out there and if he's healthy but the way you're talking about it do you feel like this is the window is it this year and then the wheels come off a bit how you know I guess I'm trying to get your focus on how important and pivotal this season is well you know it just makes Brath picks all that much more important you know you just if you have a great quarterback that's that's the quickest path to being a Super Bowl Contender so let's let's not argue with the fact that Joe's making 50 million or whatever it is and jamar's going to make 30 to 40 million whatever he's going to make because you got to have those guys you got to have those players on your team but when you do that now you're back to really significance with the rest of the team you have to have young players that can fill in the Gap and play right away you know they really they lost some people in the secondary lost their two safeties a year ago and it hurt them you know and now they're they bring back Von Bell and they bring over Gino Stone who had the big year with Baltimore and a lot of interceptions and so those guys and and these young cornerbacks have got to play you know they they've got to get in there cam Taylor Brits of the world they've got to end up having big years and and uh and then when they get to where they're going to get paid $15 million $20 million then you have to make another decision about how do you go young again it's a it's an interesting mathematical equation figuring out how to put together a football team and
