asey hauled in 72catches for 842yards and six

The Bengals were willing to overlook a lot of bad behavior for a long time because Vontaze Burfict was good at playing football.Now that he’s not there White Ryan Finley Jersey , they sound relieved, but also a little wistful about a guy they propped up for so long (and through so many fines and suspensions).Via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Bengals owner Mike Brown sounded a bit wistful about parting ways with Burfict after seven seasons.“Burfict, when he was healthy and playing at the level he could play, was exceptional Joe Mixon Jersey ,” Brown said. “All this stuff that came on detracted from his ability to play effectively and we suffered from it. It gives us a little clearer path forward.“I don’t expect we’re going to have to defend whoever is out there this year the way we’ve had to defend Burfict. And some of the stuff he was accused of in my mind was overdrawn. But it was the fact he was accused and we had all the repercussions with it.”Their ability to justify his actions came easier when he was playing well, because he remains a disruptive player in the traditional sense. But between suspensions and injuries, he missed 37 games the last five seasons.And now he’s a Raider, and they get to explain him. Zac Taylor is wasting no time in finding who will be on his staff with the Bengals.Not long after Taylor was hired as the team’s next coach, Field Yates of ESPN reported that Houston Cougars tight ends coach James Casey was joining Taylor’s staff. The team is also hiring Ben Martin http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/clint-boling-jersey , an offensive line coach from Bryant University. Casey is someone you may be familiar with, as he enjoyed a productive career with the Houston Texans from 2009-12, then with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013-14. He ended his career following a one-year stint with the Denver Broncos in 2015. For his career, Casey hauled in 72catches for 842yards and six scores. Since then, Casey has been the tight ends coach for the Cougars.As for Martin http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/giovani-bernard-jersey , he’s had coaching stints at Union (NY) College, Bryant University, and was even an offensive assistant with the Miami Dolphins from 2014-15, which means he coached briefly along Taylor when he was also in Miami. Martin spent the 2013 season as the offensive line/run game coordinator at Wagner College and the 2012 season as the running backs coach at Princeton University.
