Summary
Looking back on past Bengals takes, I cringe at how wrong I was about letting Carl Lawson go for Trey Hendrickson—big L, major bonehead move. But then there’s the flip side: signing DJ Reader? That call was spot-on—he was the unsung architect behind Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt’s growth. Losing him hurt more than I realized, almost as bad as losing Jessie Bates. It’s wild how hindsight reshapes your analysis. Now I’m wondering: will the Dexter Lawrence trade have the same ripple effect? Only time will tell. And hey, when you’re right about something that takes time to prove itself? That’s the sweet spot. But for every win, there’s a loss—and those Lawson calls? Still make me cringe. Football’s a long game, and even the sharpest analysts get schooled. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
