We draft guys for our o-line, but very few develop. I don’t know if it’s coaching or scouting. Probably both.

Absolute dullest post season storyline: Kraft and Belichick will meet and determine the future of the Belichick era in New England! So exciting. Two dried up old geezers will harumph at each other across a table for a couple hours. If only they’d sell tickets.

I know it. I just got tired of the Marvin and Andy show. Every big game, every playoff game, every prime time game. Wore me out.

Whatshisname out at Tennessee. - beaten to it! Redundancy Is My Name.

Bad news - just heard a rumor that Tomlin is considering stepping down after the playoffs. The best thing for us is if he stays and keeps the status quo.

The Brown family gonna spend a couple decades riding the wave of credibility our two good seasons bought them.

It’s just a lot of work to evaluate all these FA and trade possibilities. Default to signing your own guys - Bengals Business Precept Number 5.

With coaching staffs getting fired around the league, now would be a good time for Zac to look at o-line coaches. There might be a competent guy out there. Not that Frank isn’t competent, he is. But the results just haven’t been there.

Fun game to watch. Mixon had a hell of a game. Dude just runs with a serious purpose. Good to finally beat the Browns. Sucks that the Steelers were ushered into the playoffs, but it sort of just prolongs what I believe is an institutional mediocrity in that organization.

Ironically the Colts had a bad drop at the end of the Texans game that could’ve made a huge difference. But back to Lucas Oil Stadium. Watching football in the winter in a nice indoor environment is really great. Cincy should think about it.

That is a fun stadium. I’ve attended several Big Ten Championship games there, enjoyed every one.

Sounds do like you and your son will have a great time! Go Texans.

It’ll be funny when it is revealed that time travel is invented in 10 or 15 years, and the alcoholic scout hobo who advised Haslam to pick Johnny Manziel was actually Johnny Manziel himself, jumping back in time to help the cause a little.

Jimmy Haslam: “Scout Hobo, I need your help again. I bribed my executives to artificially inflate our profits on paper, now the feds are after me.” Scout Hobo: /lifts head off cracked pavement in dilapidated Circle K parking lot/ “You again? Tell them you rely on your accountants to always use industry standard methods, and you know nothing else. Play dumb.” Jimmy Haslam: “Brilliant! I’ll be back before the draft for another talk!” Scout Hobo: /Takes giant swig from gas station Fireball bottle, coughs up infected phlegm, vomits/ “Ok, see you then.”

Scout Hobo can’t play, too busy swilling gas station Fireball and advising Jimmy Haslam on how to respond to federal investigators looking into his bribery scheme to defraud Warren Buffet.

JFC, I can’t believe this.

Rookie Pool looms.

They just signed him last Friday. They’re phoning it in to the nth degree.

I will check out that movie. For next year, looking forward to the draft a ton. The doctor’s report on Reader will mean a lot. If he can get back to what he was, 2 or 3 year affordable deal for him and it frees up that draft spot. Also, TJ is correct, Burrow needs to somehow stay healthy in camp AND Zac has to change his pre season work to somehow get this team ready to play. Stumbling out of the gate is very much a pattern and it needs to be fixed. Tee is gone, too expensive. And Boyd is in inevitable decline. Iosivas looks competitive. I think it’s WR in round 2. Has to be O line in round one.

This Texas vs Washington game has football but also complete hot sideline babe Molly McGrath is forcing coaches to mumble crapola into her microphone.

Can we draft an o line coach?

We need to improve in several areas, that kind of goes without saying. The line play never gets fixed, maybe start there Zac.

We’re having a hard time getting lined up on defense. The shifts and movement the Chiefs are throwing at us are working. The play on which they false started, by the time they were done moving around, Wilson was lined up at the edge, basically playing corner.

Need a pick 6 here before halftime.
