Expecting Frostee, who is eternally hurt, and MJ, who is a raw rookie, to fill in for the resurgent Odom (the one we were expecting) is very wishful thinking. This is a "Win Now" league. The Bengals are "winning now" at 4-2. Preserve the hot start and give us the best chance to maximize the lead we have in the division, it will turn out we needed to take a risk and reload the spot Odom left with someone more experience than MJ and more reliable than Frostee. agree trades are rare. agree Harris is a signing that offers familiarity of the playbook and immediately gives relief to a DT squad that is ailing. agree that the DE’s are now being called on to step up.
