Jonah being an at least average RT is well within his capability. It's not like he never played the position or that it's such a huge endeavor that it can't be overcome. I think it's him getting out of his own damn way. He was butthurt by Brown coming in. Get over it. Him being more versatile will bring him more money on the open market next year, he's good. Just play well, win a Super Bowl, and then go cash in with another team in free agency. Buh bye. If he were that irreplaceable, the team wouldn't have brought in Brown without a thought and make him the starter.

The Bengals don't have to give him a deal, so I'm not sure I understand him returning after he gets his deal. They picked up his 5th year option for 2024, so if they so desired, they could sit on it for the time being. They could turn their attention to getting Tee's deal done and then revisit Burrow at a later date. While I would rather see them get Burrow's deal done, that happening is not predicated on his injury.

The thing is, teams don’t have to say anything about injuries at this point. His fucking leg could have fallen off and he’s bleeding out, but still projected as the week 1 starter. I’m still not even a little bit worried.

For the record, I miss the daily reports.

I have zero faith in any QB depth. If Burrow goes down, they are done.

It’s like tuning into the Reds games and seeing the line in how many hits Votto is going have, how many strikeouts Ashcraft is going to have, and so on and so on. Seems out of place to me while trying to simply watch the game.

I look at it from the perspective of if the majority of the reports coming out of camp say how much they are struggling, they run the risk of people not being as interested in the team and not getting butts in seats. Are there factual reports? Of course there are and yes, the o-line was a well known weakness heading into last year. Like I said though, I love reading it. I just don’t go 100% believing it all.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned regarding this time of the season, it’s that everyone looks great in camp, the write ups are almost always glowing, and they are all pretty much not something to get worked up about. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading all of it, but simply take it with a grain of salt.

I am of the mine of thought that thinks Murphy gets plenty of snaps. Whether simply as a backup to give Hubbard and T-Rex a breather or in different packages where he’s simply the head hunter. Glad we have Sample and Ossai, but my money is on Murphy getting the lion’s share of snaps after the starters. Then again, I’m totally guessing…

Just goes to show how stupid that situation was and how stupid people still are about it. Burfict hasn't been in the league for 4 years and it's been 5 since he played for the Bengals. Basically an entire overall of what the organization was back in 2018, but whatever. Burfict has ZERO to do with the Bengals today and to be honest, that's the first time I've seen his name in quite some time. But hey Steelers fans, if it takes bringing up Burfict to light a fire under your team, I think you have bigger problems.

“OH NO, WE SUCK AGAIN” !!

Well done Bengals. Happy to have Wilson for 4 more seasons !!

Thank God. He’s one of the new guys I cannot wait to watch play.

They follow that one up with another ass whooping !! They have now given up 36 run in the last two games. Pitching anyone ?? Maybe we have a new venture for TJ’s dead gramma !!

Oh don’t get it twisted… I cannot wait to watch the game tomorrow night. Don’t care who will be on the field, football is back. It could be Mother Mary of the Blind playing and I would tune in to watch. Totally pumped !!

Shouldn’t really be surprising to be honest. I think people either didn’t know or forget that Jonah was a freshmen All American at RT his first season at Alabama. It’s part of the reason his reluctance has irritated me. He’s more than capable and then showing his versatility can only pay off when he hits free agency next year. Just get after it Jonah, we have a Super Bowl to win !!

Caring what any of these idiots spew is an exercise in futility. You would be better off driving nails into the back of your hand then putting stock in those clowns. Burrow owns a 5-2 post season record with those losses coming in the AFCCG and the Super Bowl. Pretty sure having a QB who consistently has his team deep in the playoffs is a good thing. We aren’t talking Dalton who took his team to the playoff 4 straight years and could never manage a single win. (Sorry Andy)

Soooooo… When was the last time a team scored 9 runs and lost by 11 ?? Some nights, it’s just not your night.

They also traded for a reliever, but I can't say as I know much about Sam Moll, outside of him being a lefty, which we needed. The cost for Moll was a RHP who was rated #28 in our farm system. Joe Boyle.

And somehow the Brewers get beat by the Nationals who suck ass and we win the opener against the Cubbies. 1.5 games in first place. Who would have guessed that on the 1st of August the Reds would be in first place? HINT - NO ONE !!

Jonah won’t be commanding shit if he gets beat out by a guy that hasn’t been able to beat out anyone. Couple that with an injury history and teams should be cautious. He’s not serving his own purpose in not going after this year like a beast. Too much money riding on him not being a little bitch.

I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. I don't think teams have to share injury information during this time of the season, but I could be wrong. That being the case, I don't want to sway too much to either side of Burrow's injury. Week 1 is September 10, so as of now they 6 full weeks until then. Obviously he will have to be practicing before then, but I think there is time. My concern is rust like we saw early in the season last year.

The Reds take the series against the Dodgers, the Brewers aren’t consistent unless playing the Reds and here we are back in first place again. NICE !!

Yes you do…
