Running back Joe Mixon looking to spring into action with that other Joe.
Hi Geoff! I am already excited for next season, both for the games and Hobson s Choice. My question is about our free agents. Seems like we have a lot of them this year. Who do we bring back, who do we need the most and who do we miss? David Kroeger, Houston, TX

In the sea of ineptitude that engulfs the Cincinnati Bengals, it’s somewhat hard to fish out the biggest problems.
With the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills winning playoff games, the Bengals’ postseason struggles are becoming even more pronounced. And there’s been failure just about everywhere.
However, the front office’s neglect of the offensive line deserves special attention.
Mike Brown, the CEO of the team (by that I mean, the Cheapskate Executive Officer), tried to get Paul Alexander to do the scouting and evaluation for decades. That worked for a while, but it certainly didn’t end well. Brown let Andrew Whitworth go because he believed his play was going to decline (even though Whitworth showed no signs of that whatsoever) and he thought he could just replace him with cheaper an
