Won’t be watching this Super Bowl. Yawn…

Rooting for Detroit and Detroit alone… Dont care who wins the Ravens game, but almost prefer the Ravens over the stupid ass Chiefs. Another dominant AFC North team. I hate Mahomes…

Titans Hire Callahan as HC, Bengals Bump Pitcher to OC
ArmyBengal replied to volcom69's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
Again… I’m cool with that. Maybe then they can find a way to either get the o-line to pass block better or find an o-line coach that can get his line in tune with what Burrow likes to do. Pollack needs to go either way around. Hes obviously not that dude. -

I’m good with letting Burrow dictate what’s going on, but at some point in time someone should probably discuss the importance of a running attack. Regarding Callahan, I just meant he will be calling the offenses plays. -
That might have meant more had it came from their starting QB? Who is this Watson guy? They must also be unaware of what the franchise tag is. Stupid Browns…

Well Brian Callahan took that same philosophy in his head coaching gig with the Titans and will be making all the calls, as opposed to whoever he hires as OC. Funny the things you learn and what becomes normal. -

Burrow on the hire of Pitcher: “Our relationship is as good as it gets," Burrow said in a release. "I wouldn’t be the player I am today without him. He’s been preparing for this for years. He takes his job very seriously and does it with a lot of passion." -
Shit, I forget what streaming platforms I do and don't have anymore. My buddies and I all get one and then share passwords with each other.

I keep forgetting Chris Evans is on this team. Sad, because he always seems to be solid to above average during the preseason and then is AWOL during the regular season. I've just gotten use to forgetting who he is. Grade the draft? Yeah, I'm with a higher side of this as well. Make it a B+ for me. Chase is a superstar and having a kicker banging from 50+ and expecting him to hit is massive. I would like for some more depth out of a class, but that's not really that bad. Hell, as much as I don't like Carman, he had a monster game against the Bills in the divisional playoffs. Too bad we haven't gotten much more.

I liked the Battle pick when it was made and loved seeing him have a productive season as a rookie. If they are going to keep paying guys, they need to start expecting and getting more out of rookies.

Yeah, I just want to see something different from the same old, same old. When you have a roster full of talented players, play with it a bit. Throw a new wrinkle in there. Come up with something, anything, to keep the opposing defense on their toes. I don't have any issue whatsoever with Pitcher personally, but he doesn't give me the impression we are going to be seeing anything vastly different. Maybe that's a good thing. What the hell do I know ?? -
Yeah, I think they will have another decent season and if the pitching can hold out, maybe even get to the post season. Baseball is such a long season, I find it hard to stay entrenched in the every day stuff like I do with football. Going to the games is a different experience as well. Baseball is more social. I've sat out in the right field bleachers drinking beer and barely even paid attention to the game. Just sat and enjoyed a nice day chatting people up down on the river. Go Reds !!!

And just like that, Dan Pitcher is the new OC. I guess that’s good?.?. I’m left feeling a little meh about that, but at least they moved quick… -
The Chargers managed to sign both Keenan Allen, 4 years 80 million and Mike Williams, 3 years 60 million. Then by some work of God, obviously, managed to get Herbert extended to the tune of 5 years 262.5 million. It can be done and the Bills just showed why it should be done. Teams will take away your best guy and you still have to find a way to beat them. Not saying it can’t be done without Higgins, but I’d rather they didn’t. Pay both him and Chase. Draft a new RT, new TE, and new DT and get them fucking ready !!!

Nice to see someone comment about Newton. Great work up on Joe’s part with the game tape. Loved the Kancey comp, as I mentioned earlier that he was one of my favorites last year. Him with two above average DE’s and that’s a problem for opposing offfenses. Loved his thoughts on Higgins and makes me think about not only how they manage to keep him, but get a truly dynamic TE for Burrow. I like the Mixon, Brown combo, but think they need to get another guy to add in there as well. Thanks for sharing Hoosier !!
-
I agree with him... it's a talented tackle class. If Newton were there in the first, I would bet we could still find a starting RT in the 2nd. I would prefer Newton in that scenario as well. I wanted Kancey last year coming out of Pitt as well and that didn't happen. He went at pick #19. Maybe this year will be different.
-
Yeah, I won't care about a DT or OT specifically going in either round as long as we get them early. Protect Burrow and get some pressure on the opposing QB. Bengals were in the bottom 3rd of the league with sacks produced and they need to get home more. I know that stat isn't a stand alone regarding the pressure that can also be created without getting home. However, getting home clearly is something you would rather see than simple pressure. All but 3 teams in the top 10 made the playoffs this year. One was a game away and another lost their starting QB.

Ok awake at 3:10am for no damn good reason, so of course you do a mock draft. Got a trade in on this one. I trade #18 overall for #27 and #66. #27. Jer’zahn Newton, DT #49. Jordan Morgan, RT #66. TJ Tampa, CB #80. Cade Stover, TE #111. Braelon Allen, RB I can’t see Newton falling that far, but that’s a steal right there. First two picks address needs with best player available, which is dumb luck. With the extra pick from the trade, we bring in some CB help. Stover’s a clutch pass catcher that can make people miss. And then there’s Allen. We need to replace some RB depth and this dude is BIG. I could see him carving out some snaps due to his size and ability. Then again, this might suck. What do I know ??

Just saw where Pitcher is also taking interviews with both the Patriots and Raiders. If he leaves as well, I go back to my original thought of going after Joe Brady from the Bills. -

Yep congrats to him. Not sure they really have a QB with Tannenhill and/or Levis, so that will be a big task to work through. They have #7 overall so they have options to help build the team he wants. -
If they were going to trade Tee, it should have happened THIS year before the trade deadline. Had Burrow gotten hurt earlier, I think they might have considered it. Dont get me wrong, I want him to stay, but if they tag him, he’s gone in 2025. They have historically not worked long term deals or manage a tag and trade.
-
Regarding TE's, I would place a large bet that if Bowers would have been in last years draft, he would be the first TE off the board. Yeah, he's really that good. I would love to see the Bengals take him, but he will be long gone before the 18th pick comes along. We all have seen the tag play out when the Bengals use it. The player walks the next year and we may or may not get a 3rd round comp pick in return, based upon who else they sign in free agency. The thing I hate about that is, you don't get the comp pick until the following year. The WR tag is nearly $22 million, which would place Higgins firmly in the top 15 WR's in the league. If they are willing to pay the tag price, they should be able to work something long term. First and foremost, I love Higgins and love what he brings to this offense. However, I will not simply make the statement that he's a clear #1 on most teams in the league. He appears he could be, but we've all seen players move on to other teams and not have the same type of success. Higgins has been on the field with a tandem consisting of himself, Chase and Boyd. Couple that with an elite QB and a pass catching RB in Mixon in the backfield. Needless to say, there are not many teams loaded like that and his production with a new coach and new system could slip. Obviously, as we've also seen many times, it only takes one team to think he's the absolute MAN and pay him like a top 5 WR and he's gone. I just think there has to be some desire to continue playing with a QB and squad that has played a part in him becoming what he has. I really hope he sticks around on an extension. If not, he's getting the tag for sure. Minus a player in free agency being added, I want the first and second round picks to be DT and RT in either order. That's right, I moved into TJ's annual camp and got the t-shirt. SAY IT TJ !!!

I’m all in with the Lions. So more than likely they get blasted by the 49er’s… In all honesty, even if they do win, I don’t think they beat either the Chiefs or Ravens.

Really happy for the Lions. I will be rooting for them.
