well, its wednesday, and Chrisman might as well be working the drive through window at the Arby's in Heath at this point

what I want to know is how productive he can be on special teams it doesnt take much at all to exceed Mike "Hands of Stone" Thomas's production on offensive snaps, but he was seemingly pretty good on ST

Would love to mem, but even at the deep discount you're offering I cant after being out of work 2.5 of the last 3 years Good thing, tho - you'll make back most (perhaps all?) of your season ticket purchase price on just this one sale. Niiiiice. The damn lawyers just keep gettin richer :-)

Well, you are guessing that he is protected. we dont actually know that so I wont sleep well til he is elevated for the third time (which should be this weekend), which according to what I have read means he has to be signed to the 53. I have to wonder who they let go, since they seem reluctant to part with Huber. I mean, ok, I get it, Huber has been a great Bengal with no doubt whatsoever, but its time. Everyone goes at some point. Even New Guy will go someday. Sorry Mem. Anyway, if they keep Huber, my best guess is one of the two every-week-healthy scratch OLs (Carman and D'Ante) or Bachie. I'd prefer, in order, Huber then Carman then Smith then Bachie as a distant 4th as I see him as a contributor one other thing - it may seem ridiculous but since someone said they cant sign Huber to the PS - actually, with the new PS rules, they can. Maybe he does that to remain a part of a team that he feels can win the AFC again, for a second chance at a ring.

Ive corrected my statement.....yes, the original wasnt stated quite right That said, he is still on the PS and he can still be signed by another team; and we cannot afford for that to happen also, the protection thing isnt really protection at all. Its like a condom with a hole torn on top. Essentially, it only protects players for 5.5 days a week. On those remaining 1.5 days, the player can be signed by anyone. Any NFL team would simply look at that and have sex, err make deals, during that window

Players on a practice squad can be signed to another team's roster at any time Chrisman should have been signed last week to protect him The fact that he isnt signed still is a problem, as I see it I hope youre right that Chrisman has an unstated (and possible illegal?) understanding with the Bengals, but If I am a guy on the practice squad and the Bengals need me on game day for the remainder of this season, I have to wonder why they are continuing to pay me table scraps (in a relative sense) this week when I should be making at least league min I love Huber to death and back, but this is a business of winning games and he is done; and even on Punter money he is set for many many lifetimes

Leaving Chrisman on the PS is a seriously bad idea - any team can claim him at any time he needs to be signed to the main roster last week

all of that bothers me as well, Joisey......and to make it worse, these guys arent getting suspended or fined. Pickens didnt get fined for his cheap shot on Boyd, for example https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/myles-jack-george-pickens-not-fined-by-nfl-for-hits-against-bengals its bullshit the league is supposed to be concerned about player safety. supposed to

if you attended school there in the mid to late 90s, we were "Neighbors".....I lived in the small apartment complex on the same side of the street seperated from the school and church by the tee shirt shop

on mt carmel tabasco road?

I forgot to mention that the Colts plucked DE Khalid Kareem off our practice squad so we have two open spots on the PS, once of which will (I think) go to ORT Isaiah Prince I hope they bring in a man corner or a coverage LB for that remaining spot

and you gotta love this Jamarr Chase fellow......seems like I should know who this is https://www.cincyjungle.com/2022/11/22/23473620/jamarr-chase-turkeys-thanksgiving-bengals-news

Trenton Irwin is now on the roster They waived Prince to get him a spot They had just pulled Prince onto the roster from IR so I guess that was necessary in order to take him off IR {shrug} best guess is that Prince will be signed to the PS if he makes it through waivers

I love Big Willie and I hope he gets in this time I dont think he is the most deserving Bengals candidate, but he is indeed worthy :-)

There is an additional problem that a PS player can only be elevated 3 times per season.....so unless the sign Chrisman to the main squad we can only use him in 2 more games so I suspect they'll have to release the much-loved Huber, and probably sooner would be better than later because any team can pluck Chrisman from the PS at any time

actually, Amphar is the runaway favorite for bad takes in any season

ok, we disagree not like that hasnt happened before :-)

I dont see him as 30th best, but if a playoff bound team has a weakness at punter, they would likely grab him, imo

The silver lining in the schedule difference is that the Ravens wont be nearly as battle-tested going into the playoffs as the Bengals will be if the Bengals actually make the playoffs. I think they are the 7th seed as I type this FWIW However......I still dont see the Bengals winning a playoff game with that gawdawful 1st half D Gonna need to see some complete games being played before I believe again The "T" in "TJ" stands for Thomas, and I am absolutely a doubting thomas at this point

I think it is maybe 50-50 if Jamarr is active this week If he is active vs the Titans, Id bet good money if I had any that he will get no more than 10 snaps on the field I personally would prefer he take another week off to let the healing continue Hopefully they get Captain America back this week to make up for the loss of Mixon

They need to extend our long haired TE.....the one who claims he is finally being used right and has found a home here 2 or 3 years, please

Forget everything I said in the first post We need pass rush Interior, exterior, doesnt matter.....we need it desperately so gimme the best pass rushing DL available at pick 32 in the first round unless CTB starts turning it around soon, r2 pick needs to be a man-press corner. 12 tackles is nice, but gimme pass breakups or ints instead, please

When will Huber be released? Kind of an uncomfortable thought I think it is fairly likely some playoff bound team with a less than average punter would scoop him right up

Love Huber Love Harris/Nugent but this is a young man's game, and now was as good a time as any to move on They were both great, and I will always appreciate their contributions

I could not make out what New Guy was saying here.......
