Will sign with the Bengals. What is he good at?
What is he bad at?
Why did you not re-sign him?
Thanks. _________________ 2017 Draft Needs: Interior O-line, Pass Rushing DE, Linebacker, Kicker, Overall Team Speed. |

I always liked Minter but I am also biased because he was one of, if not my favorite player coming out of his draft year. But that being said, I don't think he ever reached his full potential here. Two down linebacker, decent thumper type. Occassionally flashed brilliant A gap pressure but never did it consistently. I'm not sure if we ever gave him a fair chance. Hope he does well for you guys.
He should slot into Dansby's role for you guys, I'm not sure what I would expect from him honestly. _________________

Probably closer to Maualuga than Dansby as a player. Limited athlete, can't cover. Injury problems early in his career, though he's been reliable the last 2 years in that regard. He's JAG at MIKE IMO. Effort is there, reliable tackler, just too limited athletically to be anything more. Would've had no problem with him returning for the same(or lesser) role, but after Dansby was signed there wasn't a spot. Not a "bust", but for me Minter was a disappointment for where he was drafted, and moving on from him makes me think the ties to his former LSU teammates(Peterson/Mathieu) weren't as significant as I thought they were. |
