When will the new uniforms be unvieled? Steve Capano, Cincinnati, OH
STEVE: Don't leave Bengals.com for long.
I along with my friends are becoming reserved section season ticket holders for the first time. We have already reserved seats and paid down payment. I was wondering will we get to vote for the ring of honor? Thanks Eric Miller, Dayton, OH
ERIC: Welcome and thank you. Yes, if you have put down a deposit you will get a vote.
Long time listener. First time caller ha. As a new season ticket holder I get a vote for the new Ring of Honor which is long overdue in my opinion. But I wanted you to convince me on who I should be voting for to be included? Jeremy Rose, Columbus, OH
JEREMY: Thank you for the long-time. The ballot hasn't been released yet and anybody who is on it is going to be well deserving. Thank you for asking my opinion. But I'm not running any campaigns, only covering them.
I am anxious to see from which eras the next two honorees emerge. Paul Brown's original Baby Bengals and first contenders of the 1970s or 21st century players. I don't think time dims greatness, whether it is 45 years or 15.
Do you think that Kyle Pitts would be a better selection at 5th pick than Chase? If they choose to select a weapon rather than OL? He is just as fast, runs routes probably just as well, has great hands as well. Bernard Holmes, Cincinnati, OH
BERNARD: You read enough draftnicks and you start to think Pitts is the top graded guy of the three because he checks every box. Chase doesn't have dominant size (he's 6-0) or all-world speed and Sewell didn't play in the SEC. Both didn't play last season. Pitts, who did, is pretty much off the charts in everything. But Chase has a lot of things going for him, starting with a relationship with Burrow.
While I have loved the talent from A.J., Geno and Giovanni, I'm surprised we didn't get value for their release. Last summer our coach said "why would I trade away our best player?" Instead, we release them? What gives? Jack S., Cincinnati, OH
JACK: The Bengals are and were trying to win.
I think that was the belief for franchising A.J. Green for one year last spring. They felt like Green would be a big benefit to a rookie quarterback and I think they felt they could win a bunch of games in the second half of the season before Burrow went down and that's why they didn't trade Green before the deadline. With Geno Atkins hurt, they couldn't deal him.
Nobody was going to deal for Bernard's contract and the same thing with Atkins. Some argue they should have traded Atkins, Green and maybe Dalton two years ago and re-make the club that way.
I think the way they saw it back then, when Taylor came on for the 2019 season, draft picks are rolls of the dice and they had a shot to contend with those three guys that had won a lot of games for them combined with some youth. But Green got hurt in Taylor's first practice, Atkins got hurt in one of his first practices next to a top tier nose tackle in D.J. Reader. Green had to deal with two different foot surgeries and basically missed 24 straight games. Potential trades never lined up with the health or with the philosophy of trying to win.
