COB Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 The modern day equivalent to the ancient warrior tradition of being carried off the battlefield on your shield: A grimace-filled ride in the back of a golf cart. Probably directly to an MRI machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yeah he's undergoing "tests" so it sounds like he'll miss some time. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Reportedly a sprained ankle. Sounds like he's out for preseason, "on track" for the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just hope he can heal and not put pressure on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Kumerow's done. Waived/injured today, will revert to IR if no one claims him (no one will). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 But, but wait, he's pushing the starters and is the next big thing as soon as he's up for his next deal after riding the bench for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Erickson once again showed why he needs to be on this team. Trade some other WR not named Adriel Jeremiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Erickson is a great candidate to have his potential hampered for a while in Cincinnati before eventually signing with the Patriots and blowing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I fully expect them to carry 7 WR's this season. They can get away from LaFell after this year with no dead money. Green, LaFell, Boyd, Erickson, Ross, Core, and Malone. They bail on LaFell in 2018 or bring him back for $4 million if there's no development or an injury occurs. None of the 7 listed above are free agents in 2018. Yeah, that's an above average WR corps in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 You can have the best pass catchers in the league, wide outs, slot, tight ends, whatever. But if your offensive line cannot control the line of scrimmage, it won't mean a damn thing. I'm not expecting much this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 1 hour ago, TJJackson said: what BZB said, +1 Plus a gazillion. Our quarterback is just one of those guys who needs a clean pocket. He's not Roethlisberger, he's not Steve McNair. Lots of guys need a clean pocket, including Brady. Andy does not create, he doesn't escape and make plays. He executes an offense. He needs time and if this line can't do it, Alexander needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I snort derisively every time I see something in print that says either Erickson or Chris Smith may not make this team. They MUST make this team if Tobin has even a half a lick of sense. Period. Cheap, young, and productive? Jeezus what else could you want? ok, ok, Mike....they'll soft-cloth wash the Lumina on Monday afternoons. Happy now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincyhokie Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Re: Chris Smith. Not sure why height is emphasized the way that it is on the D line. Sure it can disrupt the QB's vision. But if you've got a guy that's 6'0 - 6'1 using his center of gravity advantage and can get pressure on the QB, that's a valuable asset to have. See Geno Atkins. I don't think that we're seeing an anomaly in Smith as we did with Chris Carter a few years ago. If anything, having a pure rusher with power and a low center of gravity added to Dunlap and the rookies is a hell of a combo to throw at an opposing O line.

GapControl Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Got to agree about Chris smith . Looking forward to seeing him get more snaps against 1s before the preseason is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
