Rookie Mini Camp Day and other OTA Stuff from People There
ArmyBengal replied to membengal's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
Holy shit indeed. I don’t know what kind of shit he’s working in rehab but that’s nothing short of a miracle. He torn his knee up 5 months ago. For a man that size, that’s divine intervention. -

In all honesty, I think Chrisman sealed his fate with that last punt against the Chiefs in the Championship game. Right down the middle of the damn field, which saw Moore return it to the 50 yard line. While that didn't lose the game, it certainly played a part in the Chiefs closing it out. Drafting a punter was an easy decision at that point. Regarding the o-line, if the starters manage to stay healthy, this offense is simply deadly. People seem to focus on Burrow and he rightfully gets that attention, but this offense really is stacked. There might not be a better WR #1-3 in the league than Chase, Higgins and Boyd. I think they already had a decent #4 and they even upgraded that spot with Charlie Jones, who is also a return guy. Mixon is back, which despite all the talk, we all knew that was happening, but they add Chase Brown who I think is going to be good. If Irv Smith Jr. can manage to stay healthy at the TE spot, this is going to be a really fun season to watch them all work. God forbid the defense holds tight in the secondary and they manage a pass rush that gets home a little more and there is no reason not to expect knocking on the Super Bowl door yet again. -

I know they like to say there is a punting competition, but I don't see it that way. Nearly 5 seconds of hang time AND directional punting abilities? Nope, no competition at all. Next story... -
Official Bengals Ring of Honor coming to PBS
ArmyBengal replied to COB's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
Another round of who gets into the Bengals Ring of Honor. Season ticket holders and suite owners will vote on the players. Two more will be going in among this group of 13: K Jim Breech, RB James Brooks, WR Cris Collinsworth, RB Corey Dillon, QB Boomer Esiason, S David Fulcher, WR Chad Johnson, DT Tim Krumrie, OL Dave Lapham, OG Max Montoya, CB Lemar Parrish, TE Bob Trumpy, and LB Reggie Williams. -
Thank you sir. Those seats really are great !!

I would be more than happy to grab them up Mem. Just let me know.

Oh Marvin had talent, but the approach the organization took to bring in talent, was far different. They brought in problem characters, thinking they could help and change them. Henry, Pac-Man, Thurman, Burfict, the list goes on. I loved those guys to be honest, but that chemistry is just a different mixture which never worked with an organization which was openly ridiculed for being cheap. The whole thing was crazy toxic. Marvin doesn't get much credit for getting the team out of the debacle of the 90's and getting them even back to 8-8, let alone getting to the playoffs. Him not being able to win in the playoffs was his demise. Kept losing playoff games, but was continually brought back. I don't really care at this point, because like they always say, winning cures all. I'm happy to be able to be a part of what's happening now !!

You know your team is playing well when you can't get preseason tickets for under $10. Either way, we will be at the Green Bay game. First chance to get back down in the stadium, hear the crowd again, and see some of the youngsters out there. Less than 3 months from today !!! FUCK YEAH !!!

Correction... After that ass stomping they handed out last night in a 3-0 win, FC Cincinnati is in sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference and have the best record in all of MLS. They also set a MLS record, as no team in history has opened the season going 7-0 while playing at home. In 12 matches, they have 8 wins, 3 draws and only a single loss. Again, it's a great thing going on with the city and team !!

Well, I know soccer isn't everyone's cup of tea, regardless of how much I love it. However, if you haven't been down to a match at TQL stadium, you should really check it out. It's a great environment with fans that are really passionate about the team. That's just fun to be around. Besides that, FC Cincinnati is in 2nd place in the eastern conference and currently has the 2nd best record in MLS. They are kicking (sorry) ass this season, picking up where they left off from last year. I love pretty much everything about it and you can pick up tickets for $20 most matches. We end up walking around the stadium, talking with other fans, eating, drinking and watching the game. It sure as hell beats any product the Reds have put on the field in any recent season !!! Sorry for the dig Reds. I still love you. Kinda...

Agree with all of that Hoosier. Long gone are the days of completely dismissing free agency as something other teams do, while we watch. Something happened, probably a combination of somethings, when they fired Marvin, brought in Zac and started the rebuild the next year with Burrow. Of course Burrow is a HUGE part of that something, but it was everything else that came along with it. I wish my dad was still alive to see how much the team has turned the corner. He was a fan from the start and is the one I credit for my love of football. Much like I have been with my son.

While not expecting anything else in the free agency department, there are some players out there that should probably be on some team's roster. Maybe a surprise 1 year addition we weren't expecting? Never know, but the list is interesting. https://nfltraderumors.co/top-100-2023-nfl-free-agents-list/

I have a good friend who is a die hard Raiders fan and we were talking about their draft picks. Then I went and took a look at their recent draft history and good Lord. Since 2019, the last year of suck before Burrow, the Raiders have had 7 first round picks. SEVEN !! Of those 7 first rounders that you would expect to be a large part of what they are doing now, only 2 are still with the team. RB Josh Jacobs and this year's first rounder Tyree Wilson. Jacobs got the tag this year, isn't happy about it and isn't showing for practices. He will no doubt be a Raider for at least the season, but good God. Couple that with getting rid of their QB, Carr, their franchise passing leader, and there's little reason to be optimistic in Vegas. My point to all of this you may ask ?? Probably not... It is so nice seeing our organization put together one solid draft after another and competing for Super Bowls. These are good times my friends. Good times !!

Couldn't agree more. I don't think there's much chance in any of Burrow, Tee or Chase going anywhere. This is a QB driven league and your QB needs weapons. Let a LB or safety go, but not those guys. Tee has been a consistent force in his first three years. It's another reason teams are talking about him. He's a #1 on more than a handful of teams in the league. -
I had pea-cock for a little while. Some nasty shit I picked up while in Thailand for a quick stop back in the day. Fortunately antibiotics still worked and it ran it's course without incident. Certainly nothing I would pay to get again. Then again, we may be talking about something completely different...

While understanding there is a large pot of money that will be dumped into Higgins life, I'm not concerned. First, he is under contract for 2023, so it's not like he's going somewhere. Next, if they don't get him resigned, they always have the tag at their disposal, which they would use. So at an absolute minimum, Higgins is here through the 2024 season. Again, I think they get it done. Burrow being aware of the impact of his contract helps. Oh yeah, so does a cap that continues to grow by leaps and bounds. -

I like hearing how amped up the team is with the addition of Irv Smith Jr. and Charlie Jones. Never seen as much talk about a "potential" 4th WR in my life. Good times !! -

Good job Joe !! -
Nope the Dolphins snatched him up TJ. Dang !! Or, I mean GOOD !!

There is talk out there about the Bengals and the RB position, but I haven't put much thought to any of if. Cook and Henry are the two names that I've seen tossed around, but not much in regards to how that would happen. Considering how much any of these guys cost, I can't say as I have much to add. I more of a wait and see guy at this point.

Yes you will be able to save them on your phone. I have never had an issue with them being saved to my Apple Wallet, as I have an IPhone.

I have used both Vividseats and Seatgeek myself. I have their apps downloaded with accounts on both. No hesitation in using either of them. The fees are what get you on the price though so you have to watch that. Otherwise never had an issue through the years.

I can’t for the life of me even begin to take much interest in the Reds. Sad…
