Turf. It’s a topic of minor controversy.

The new kickoff theoretically curtails injuries by restricting the momentum of collisions (with dramatically less space between teams). I like that change. The touchback festival was pointless.

While I think this would be a great year to trade up, I suspect 1) the Bengals won't, because they nearly never do, and 2) not for a wide receiver. I admit to at least a little Brock Bowers thirst. Or choosing an absolute favorite OT and trading up to get him with one of those thirds (and whatever else needed, within reason) instead of settling for whoever is there at 18. Whatever though, I'll live when they do that.

I just took a stroll down memory lane. The Bengals OL draft picks over the last ten drafts: 2014 Russell Bodine (4) - woof 2015 Cedric Ogbuehi (1) - *gouges out eyeballs, screaming* Jake Fisher (2) - woof 2016 Christian Westerman (5) - whatever 2017 None 2018 Billy Price (1) - woof Rod Taylor (7) - who? 2019 Jonah Williams (1) - okay Michael Jordan (4) - woof 2020 Hakeem Adeniji (6) - "good value" (bad player) 2021 Jackson Carman (2) - woof D'Ante Smith (4) - whatever Trey Hill (6) - woof 2022 Cordell Volson (4) - TBD, meh 2023 None Hard to say it's "abominable" without more contextualizing (i.e., how does it compare with leaguewide trends), but it sure looks bad. Paul Alexander, Jim Turner, and Frank Pollack have all participated.

I need him to demonstrate that he can throw a football at an NFL level before I get too worried.

I'm not sure there's a Bengals equivalent to "trade for Justin Fields" that makes any sense right now lol

I'm torn on Becton. 1. I think the criticism of his performance is probably a bit overblown given that his worst play has come immediately following injury (and he was protecting the dumbest QB I have ever seen). 2. That said, following injury isn't a good trend either. I also think "he was at his best with Frank Pollack" reeks of chugging the Kool Aid and probably makes little difference. So if it happens, I will just hope for the best. High ceiling, low floor.

He owns a Super Bowl touchdown pass. That’s pretty damned cool.
