Scratch that, icing shoulder, described as a "bruise"

Which in bengals injury lexicon means his collarbone has been shattered in 12 places.

Wenning is so boring.

[Stripes]

Of course Nugent hits the tough one.

Watch out now, my daughter is a Cardinal as of yesterday...

[HoosierCat]

Fun fact from the bengals radio crew: Pittsburgh's leading receiver tonight? Cobi Hamilton.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Erickson is returning the shi% out of every punt he's touched so far.  

[Stripes]

Erickson returning punts.

I like it.

[HoosierCat]

Not a fluke.

[Passepartout]

Hope he can do so in the regular season!

[GapControl]

Ericsson should be our punt returner.  I'm convinced. Anyone else?

[Stripes]

I think it'd at least be worth a try.  I don't know how you cut that guy either way.

[GapControl]

I'm guessing Alford is becoming a distant memory to James Urban and Darren Simmons

[TJJackson]

I told ya'all in April we need to draft a kicker

 

no no no I was told

 

well, we are all cryin' now

Hill looks like he's on a mission - good to see. 

Don't hate on Tate.

Got any suggestions on who I should hate on instead?

Oh wait, no, no need to answer that......

He looks like he has a lot more potential than Tate at WR and Returner.

[Stripes]

Even if Erickson makes the team, I don't think Tate is the guy he'll replace.  The WR situation is fragile, and I'd be pretty surprised if they don't make the conservative move of sticking with the only guy outside AJ Green with long-term experience playing here.

I think it's most likely that two among Wright, Core, and Erickson make the roster.  Wright might be the hard luck cut right now.

I will anyway.

Yea how awful Bodine is! He is going to continue to bring this o-line so far down. Seems like he is getting worse as the years go on

[TJJackson]

Hoosier - please note who I was asking for a suggestion as to who to hate on......hint, hint

also

as I understand it, Jeffro delivered the block that sprung Hill for the TD run

[HoosierCat]

I think that was his one good play of the game. 

[HoosierCat]

Random thoughts from last night:

Marvin Jones was on a mission to abuse Shawn Williams and Dre Kirkpatrick and he succeeded.

Bodine: see previous posts.

None of the LBs are really blowing me away. None of the secondary either.

Boyd is winning me over.

That Burkhart guy is pretty good.

Hill seems a bit more decisive.

[AMPHAR]

 Bodine while not good is sandwiched between two decent guards.     You can hide a bad center which has been proven during his career.   A clear step back from Cook.  

Hopefully at some point he can drag his performance up to average.

Hopefully, Alexander will retire and we can cease with the stupid bad C selections he's brought in.

Bodine won't improve, no matter what G is to each side.

Anytime you start to try to defend Bodine ( there are some ways to do it and it crosses my mind too ) just think what Alex Mack would have brought to this line.  You'll pretty much give up your argument immediately.
