HoosierCat Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Mixon not guilty. So that’s done. Good. https://www.wlwt.com/article/joe-mixon-aggravated-menacing-trial-verdict/44840357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 So per the latest on the .com, starting defense will get a series tonight. Whether the starters go on offense is unknown, tho chances of Burrow going are zero. https://www.bengals.com/news/mike-hilton-cam-taylor-britt-defense-eyes-return-to-preseason-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Cleveland and Philly play tonight. Bengals play tomorrow at Atlanta. However, I'm good with seeing the starters get a series or two in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Mitchell Wilcox cleared to practice. Had been on PUP since they resigned him last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Had a brief chat with Baby one threads earlier today. FWIW he thinks Sample is the odd man out at TE, with Smith, Wilcox and Asiasi all making the cut. Thought that was worth a note given all the agita earlier over the lack of TE in the draft.

COB Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Man there goes a second round pick. At least the Bengals seem to miss on way fewer high picks than most teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I still can’t fathom taking Sample in the 2nd round that year. I was wondering who else we could have had and saw that two picks earlier, Irv Smith Jr. was selected by the Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Injury notes from Hobs, nothing major: _Taylor said defensive tackle B.J. Hill had lower body soreness Sunday that's going to keep him out but not for long. He said offensive lineman Cody Ford and cornerback Marvell Tell III are in concussion protocol and that cornerback DJ Turner was sore after Friday night's game and is going to be kept out awhile, but it's not serious. Cornerback Sidney Jones IV (hamstring) is out. Tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) has been back this week, as is edge Tarell Basham.

Stripes Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think Wilcox definitely makes the team both for STs and as a backup receiver -- he did a decent job on spot duty last year. Sample going wouldn't surprise me much. I'm not sure what he offers at this point. He's supposed to be a good blocker, but is that even true?

But he doesn’t offer anything special as a receiver and his presence can end up being a tell as to what the play is. I’ve read mixed reviews on Smith’s blocking but the consensus appears to be he’s at least OK and he offers more pop as a receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Taylor remains noncommittal about Burrow’s return. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/joe-burrow-remains-out-of-practice-and-zac-taylor-says-well-see-about-this-week I agree that the cuts at QB suggest they expect him back in week one, but also agree that the contract situation is an issue. Bengals continue to play with fire here imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 So I saw this story by Graziano on espn+ offering up 32 "potential surprises" for each team. So what's the big surprise in store for us Bengals fans? Drum roll, please... Quote Don't be surprised if ... rookie running back Chase Brown carves out a role in Year 1. Well, Dan, I promise you that I won't. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that no one will be surprised when (not if) this happens.

AMPHAR Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 This offense has been good. It hasn't been great. There's plenty of room to add 20/30 yards per game and about 3 points per game. I'd be disappointed if Brown doesn't have a significant role without another back stepping up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Oh well. Guess the “less crowded d-line room” theory was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Bummer. Will probably be another Darius Hodge anyway. Preseason superstars rarely matter. Unless their name is Geno Atkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have to admit that I was not happy with the last play of the AFCCG when Ossai hit Mahomes out of bounds. My son and I walked back to the car cold and angry. I didn't say much until I got to the car and I exploded. I was so fucking angry with that play I just couldn't stand it. Of course, you move on and keep rooting for guys. If you haven't seen the recent interview with Ossai, this is well worth your 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pJdtXV5jaI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
