Kendrick is amazing

That statement should be directed at Robby and his bad contract, not DJ

Pretty sure if we had drafted Higgins he'd be on the bench behind Robby

Imagine getting Burrow and Tee Higgins in the first 2 rounds

Bengals need to figure something out besides this Zone BS. May have to drop an extra guy or 2 like they did against the Chiefs, but Rams already watched that film and probably have an adjustment

I think that was commercial break #50

Whatever helps with the NFL getting that commercial $$

When is the actual kickoff?

I missed the live stream but the highlights were very encouraging after the shitty first half. I like Trez, and Bouknight/JT getting minutes but we're still a little small to only score 40 in a half, not sure what the shooting percentage was in the first. Also Jah is probably my favorite young guy on any team

Aside from the overall team sucking, why would anyone wanna take their chances with Rhule after how he handled Teddy and Cam? I think Andy Dalton is the only one who would sign but why even waste the money

And Burrow got it done in 2 seasons with better yards per attempt. Pickett had 4 starting years and was pretty good in his 5th senior year after finding out he was gonna go in the 5th round if he declared for last years draft. I don't really understand why people make the Burrow comparison

If Teddy wasn't the answer I really don't see how Pickett is besides being recruited by Rhule at Temple. They basically have the same ceiling, with Teddy actually showing he can reach that ceiling in the NFL. Pickett could max out at like a Will Grier level in my opinion. At the best If you took Burrow and Grier and met in the middle which is basically a good backup

Seems like Trez here/Ish gone opens things up for a better rotation that'll also keep the young guys happy. I didn't catch the game, just highlights but for coming in cold the chemistry w Trez looked good. Just get some timing things down and they might make the legit playoffs (Not just the play-in)

And our next coach/staff will have to try to trade Pickett away for like a 3rd or 4th rounder when they blow everything up. Serious waste of 3 years when we were in prime position to be ahead of the NFC South rebuilds

Speaking of arm length Bravvion Roy looks crazy out there. He's not bad as a backup but I don't think he'd be playing for any other NFL team, just the Baylor Panthers

You're already stuck with Elf (while healthy). I like the top LT's, and I think a couple of them could be better guards than BC for sure. Trading back would be nice for BPA/Willis, I think Zion Johnson could be a starting OG in the 2nd round if we can get that pick back.

Yup he's just twiddling his thumbs at Safety waiting for Carter to miss a block so he can clean it up. Either that or getting beat deep by WR's he shouldn't be covering. Too much micromanaging going on last year from the coaches, hopefully they realize they're making some things harder than they need to be

He's also "traumatized" by Marvel since they didn't like his Gambit move idea lol

Really depends where you go. Jags had lawrence in a bad situation, Wilson shouldn't have been playing, Lance didn't really play. Jones had a good staff that worked around his strengths and weaknesses so he's not traumatized by starting. Don't see us having a good game plan for him but someone like the Steelers could probably start him and have a winning record

Yeah pretty sure those guys were like "We got it coach". This is from an observer fluff piece, he basically never ran a full offense until learning on the job with us. While Brady did not call all of the plays at LSU, he was responsible for talking to Burrow after drives from the booth to go over what to improve. He was not responsible for calling all of the plays, but he would call red zone, third down and other packages

They get like $150 a game or something ridiculous right? No clue if they get paid for rehearsals or whatever.

He seems kinda like Heinicke to me. Quick reactions, likes to play, but always injured. Pretty much all these guys are comparable to good backups and would've gone like round 3-5 last year. Except Willis either being a 10 year starter or a complete bust

Yeah I'm pretty sure Picketts ceiling is Teddy which wasn't good enough for Rhule, so if he pulls the trigger on this that's basically just because he convinced himself he's a genius for recruiting him out of high school

Pretty sure Harrell's salary is more than Carey and Ish combined?

I was just thinking about that, if Mcadoo being the OC was a stipulation for this staff in 2020, I don't think Rhule would have taken the job nor would Tepper have given him the job (depending on who hypothetically would have brought Mcadoo into the conversation). There is no process or program building which is the only thing Rhule is supposedly good at
