  1. Past hour
  2. All we need from this draft is a guard, DE (or 2?), LB, DB, TE, another DT would be good... So we'd probably have one draft pick left over. EZ.
  3. Today
  4. Adam Schefter giving him way better 3 cone and ss times than posted elsewhere...
  5. He's massively outplayed his contract. Giving him a "raise" doesn't mean much, they should promise him a fair market value deal. That was the whole point of letting him talk to other teams about a trade, to see what his market value is. Now that he knows, they can't put that genie back in the bottle. He deserves to be paid in the Nick Bosa, Maxx Crosby range. It would be quite easy for the Bengals to resolve this, but they don't want to change their standard contract structure. So they are left flapping aimlessly and now taking a media potshot at him.
  6. From Adam Schefter today… UCLA LB Carson Schwesinger had 30 teams — including LB coaches from Dallas, the Chargers, Giants, Saints and Broncos — in attendance for his private pro day today in Los Angeles. He met privately with the LB coaches for Dallas, the Giants and Saints. He did position drills, jumped 10’7 on the broad, and ran in the 6.9’s (3-cone) and 4.1’s (20 yd shuttle).
  7. Yeah, how hard is it to be polite and professional? For people who can be fired, it's normal practice. For people who inherit ownership, maybe that's not how they roll.
  8. I think it's a pretty glaring weakness. Ironically the same one that cost us a Super Bowl 4 years ago. Maybe Duke should find new mistakes to make instead of repeating himself.
  9. If my boss said some shit like that to me, and not even directly but through the media? I'd be asking for a trade, too. Wouldn't blame him at all for holding out if all that about not talking to his agent is true.
  10. He's not going to be the sack leader every year, in fact it's unlikely to happen twice. That being said, telling him he doesn't know how to be happy or whatever the fuck that was is incredibly condescending, and even more tone deaf for some trust fund kid that's running a $5B NFL franchise for no other reason than who her grandpa was to pop off with something like that. I don't like this notion that they should renegotiate signed contracts every time the cap increases either but at least Trey earned it on his own. Can't be talking to the man like he's your wayward child, that shit's wild & not a great representation of how she thinks in general. Nothing she has now is or was based on merit, to very specifically include her ability to make those decisions. Just a painfully disconnected take considering the circumstances. Reeks of her Dad's savior complex. Its one thing to think owning an NFL team is some kind of divine mandate but expressing it out loud to a reporter in reference to a contract negotiation is an odd choice. This is someone for whom consequences to her actions are a foreign concept.
  11. Ugh....would both of them just STFU and actually work this out? Bad looks on both sides. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/trey-hendrickson-katie-blackburns-comments-about-contract-talks-disappointing-confusing
  12. i almost just reported your post instead of replied. https://twitter.com/BengalsBrews/status/1906667278352973926
  13. Go, he's a Whiner. It's his Shtick. Eeyore.
  14. Last time the Reds lost back to back 1-0 games 1907.
  15. The problem they have is they said they want to give him a raise. If he is saying it's not a money but guarantees, he's going to have a hard time with this team. Maybe if he was younger and playing like this the number of years might not be an issue now that they have broken that mold, but I'm not sure they want to break that mold with an older player now, even if he is the sack leader.
  16. We have said the IOL remains a weakness, yes. The hyperbole is all you, though.
  17. Lol you and Sparky have been beating this drum nonstop for weeks. Every single person on the board knows where you stand. I don’t share your opinion, especially considering the changes that have been made and the results from last year.
  18. Youre the only one I've yet seen say "the sky is falling", or even imply it. In fact, you keep repeating it. The interior OL is weak and has no depth. We will likely be starting at least one backup-quality guard unless they get very lucky with the draft. Meteorology has nothing to do with it.
  19. Well of course he'll be back annually if they only extend him for a year at a time. That seems like something odd for the team to complain about.
  20. We'll see if Peters is an upgrade over Pollack. He was an assistant under a good coach on some good O-lines for the Browns. He has recommendations from Callahan and McNally. But when he got the chance to be the O-line coach in NE last year, he didn't impress and was fired after a year. Vrabel would have kept him if he'd done a good job. Maybe he's learned from that experience. His emphasis on handwork is different from most O-line coaches emphasis on footwork. So perhaps he's ahead of the curve. Or maybe not. If Ford and Patrick are upgrades over Volson and Cappa, why are they being paid less on new contracts? Is your theory that the Bengals are especially shrewd evaluators of O-linemen and the rest of the league has it wrong?
  21. Technically Ford and Patrick are better than Cappa and Vollstrum BUT that we means we have zero depth since Patrick and Ford should be our depth. Unless the new OL can turn around Vollstrum , he has no business being on the roster.
  22. Bottom 9th Reds down 1-0 Hurtibitz......groundout Freidl...........single McLain........K Elly...............groundout No runs Reds lose 1-0
  23. It's a weird situation and I don't think either side is to blame, but I do think the Bengals are frustrated and tired of hearing about his contract every single year. He keeps earning and agreeing to a pay-raise which they keep giving him. Every time he comes back wanting more after doing more but eventually it has to end and he has to accept what him and his agent agreed to. Is that the current contract or the next one? If they were to extend him, I wouldn't be surprised if he's back asking for an increase next year if he plays well again regardless the terms. Past history says he will. Past history also points to him "earning" an increase in pay.
  24. Top 9 Reds down 1-0 Pitching change Emilio Pagon... Groundout Flyout Popout Inning over No runs
  25. Bottom 8..Redlegs down 1-0 CES........K Steer.......popfly Fraley......single..out stealing PH Hurt... Inning over No runs..
