We've had a ton of injuries at DT, and Tart is available https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/miami-dolphins-releasing-teair-tart-will-cincinnati-bengals-be-interested-01j5615spcm5

Volson is solid It is starting to look like Matt Lee is a steal, albeit it is waaaaaaaay early to make a final judgement there. Injury history (and the directly resulting lack of game experience) was the only reason I did not want Mims in r1. Aside from that, I like everything about the guy, and he has looked like a starter in camp. Works hard, nose to the grindstone type, seems like a genuinely good locker room guy, and gifted in size and athleticism. He probably would have gone in the top 10 picks if it werent for his injury history, which is now biting us in the ass The player we could have taken instead had his own injury history concerns, and is also injured and will (same as Mims) miss the rest of the preseason https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/pittsburgh-steelers-good-news-troy-fautanu-knee-injury-preseason That said, we need to keep trying to draft quality linemen in here, or we will break the bank paying for our OL

A lot of media outlets are talking about how bad Jake Browning looked I saw it another way.....Browning was being given 4th to 7th stringers to work with Those folks usually dont play until 4th quarter when QB3 came out, suddenly he had the likes of Jermaine Burton to work with......basically, in the late 3rd/and 4th quarters, thats when the second stringers mostly were out on the field What I am more used to is that as time goes by in a preseason game, the players are progressively lower on the depth chart, but thats not how they played it against Tampa Bay. Then went 1s to 4-7s then back to 2s and 3s Weird

"the best ability is availability" Dave Lapham unfortunately, the next man up at ORT is also frequently injured, and just came off an injury I am hoping one of the other tackles not named Carmen steps it up

I Think Matt Lee lee-pfrogs no knees Hill for backup OC spot Looks like he handled his guy on every snap, but then also look at 1 min 26 seconds on this tape, hos he effortlessly jumps to an unchecked insider rusher from the block he was on even better at 2:14 mark

10 tackles dude is a UDCFA with the worst RAS I have ever seen I mean, I think my dead gramma can beat that Nonetheless, 10 tackles Burfict 2.0?

Carmen is a B U S T Meanwhile, the players we shoulda woulda coulda have taken - either Teven Jenkins or Sam Cosmi - are outstanding players but then again, the Carmen praise is coming from the village idiot of this board

Didnt see Ossai He's not on the box score at all anyone know whats up with him?

agreed that said, someone said earlier maybe he is just trying to get off this team.....I think that happens regardless, honestly, and if he were smart he'd be considering his preseason tape as his audition tape for his next team. Ie he should be giving it his best I am sure thats what his agent is telling him whether he listens to his agent or not is another matter entirely

this may be nitpicking on my part, but Im gonna say it anyway The folks running the jumbotron have several different displays that encourage the fans to get louder This is fine and good and all, no issues with it per se the problem is their timing almost always on first down or during timeouts, which is the worst possible time to use these You want crowd noise mainly on 3rd down, 4th down, and on x and goal plays Dont wear out the available crowd noise on 1st down. Please. Its just stupid. People can only yell/scream so much before their throats give out. its a limited resource. Use it wisely, at the correct times, and by doing so, teach your fans to do it at he right times yes it was a preseason game, but even in preseason its good to train the crowd to supply needed crowd noise when it is needed the most the jumbotron actually had to display a message at least one reminding the crowd that we are on offense, so be quiet our fans dont seem to understand their "12th man" role, and the folks running the jumbotron should try to educate them so that home field advantage really and truly is an advantage

Boy oh boy how pissed I would have been at the decision to go for a TD instead of a fg in the last minute trailing 14-17 if this had been a real game but preseason, I get it. Put your potential backup players in a high stress situation and see how they react It was a short distance and you already know Money Mac would have gotten it the 3 here, so use the downs to learn something about your backups all good I was kinda surprised that they were playing 7th stringers in the 1st quarter. Lots of Shedrick Jackson. Kendrick Pryor, and and Kwame Lassiter rather early on. Jake should have been given a lot more second stringers to work with like Andre. Then again, we already know what we have in Jake. Hes locked in as QB2. so what could your bubble-level WRs do with a solid QB throwing to them? Not a lot, it appears. Get well soon, Chuck Sizzle. and FO? Fucking sign WR1 N O W. I do mean N O W. do it you worthless farks. Didnt like seeing Trenton Irwin returning punts. We know what he can do there already, which is meh. Give someone else a shot. I didnt see Burton til 4th quarter, and he played like a r1 pick when he did come on I was shocked to see Chris Evans in so much. I thought he was in the doghouse Dax Hill looked really sharp in his new role. He's a ballhawk. Loved to see it. I didnt watch the OL closely because I was talking to my kid too much. A worthy trade I would do it again if given a re-do, Player to watch next week: DT Travis Bell. Not just because wea re thin at DT right now, but he has himself a resume-making game

I attended thanks to tickets donated by mem :-) much appreciated mem :-) The Jermaine TD was a great moment This Josh Newton fellow looks like a keeper My eldest daughter went with me....this was her first Bengals game, and she seemed to follow along after I explained to her all the basics. at the end pf the game, she even asked my why they went for the TD instead of the FG that would have tied it, so she had a pretty good grasp by end of game I had my first stadium beer ever, so scratch that one off the old bucket list - basically a 2 dollar draft for 12 dollars

Chuck Sizzle carted off Who is our KR/PR if he misses time? Depth chart says Irwin, and I like Irwin a lot as a sure handed possession receiver, but he's shown nothing as a KR/PR

Stripes, why isnt Reggie on that team as the gunner? look to the left

On an incentive-laden contract, would be a good idea

"it always has been this way" does not mean it always has to be this way Hopefully, he dies soon

he spoke at the luncheon and did more damage with his "willy nilly" statement

while I get all that to an extent, someone in such a state should remove themselves from roles like GM of an NFL football team and then they can spout off willy nilly at their leisure without bringing down the team like he does on the daily

not sure which I hate more, politicians or lawyers I think SoaG tips the scales towards lawyers

Bengals sign Hakeem Butler, Ryan Rehkow, and Nate Brooks (msn.com) Butler (WR) has a really nice RAS, great speed to size ration. the punter (Rehkow) signing is puzzling.....are they not getting good results from Robbins or the new highly touted UDCFA? Rehkow is a 25 year old rookie 2024 UDCFA who had a cup of coffee with the Chiefs before they released him about a month ago also Burrow practiced punting today. WTF dude. How many punters we need? :-)

apparently he was named all-UFL for 2024 as well, for whats that worth depth is good I am guessing the 5th round corner isnt wowing them quite enough little concerned about this guy;s speed.....draft profile says 4.62 40, which is slow for a safety, not to mention a corner

The only shocking aspect of all of this is that you havent yet used your comic genius to work "willy nilly" into the discussion yet I'm gonna ask a certain pro golfer to come over and check on you, and bring you a jamocha shake

Gotta love it when a vehicle gives its life for the team

but the rules say no one shoots the medic, right?
