Flounder Carman in da houze... Although you kinda got to ask yourself... "Why?" The guy is an enigma.

Unfortunately I think with the cap its essential. Without the cap we couldn't compete though

So, basically, a continuous business model of 4 year college rentals with an occasional franchise tag and/or 5th year option? As the modern sport evolves through these tightened “windows”, I suppose it makes sense. So long as they have a centerpiece, the rest of what fills the uniforms can come and go.

This happens to just about every NFL team because you can't pay everybody. The Bengals suffer more than other teams because they don't play cap games and their small scouting staff leaves them wanting for replacements sometimes. I expect Tee to be gone next year because of this, if they pay him AND Chase (plus Burrow) half the team will have to be JAGs just to be able to make payroll.

"So what we have here is a failure to communicate" circa 1968..

Murphy is waiting . Interior looks better than last year.. Hendrickson playing for a contract Glass Allways half empty half full...

Reader was exceptional & with Hendrickson asking for a trade IDK if we can expect another 18 sack season out of him. That's half the DL either gone or with one foot out the door over money.

He's thick thruout... Naturally strong and lifting only enhances that. Has the beast mode in him . His high-end enthusiasm is great for the team.

How so with the he Dline? Lost Reader but gained 3 extra linemen now. I'm good with that.

I agree. All 10 make it.

6 maybe 7..no way all 10 make it

Once again you swerve off to attack IDF when Hamas has done much worse to their captives. Rape and torture is their practice.

Reading up on McNamara, there’s a bunch to like. It sounds like he chose to come here probably because he knows he can win the job. Unlike Robbins, he’s got a big leg while also being among the best in the nation in terms of hang time. He had career highs last year both in fair catches and balls downed inside the 20. His career average is 10th best all time in NCAA and he served as the team’s primary holder for most of his career. I expect him to make it a real competition and I expect him to win it.

He's finally here 🐻

Agree with you on Turner. He played well initially but fell off as his role increased. Probably a case of a rookie hitting the wall combined with injuries forcing him to do too much before he could handle it. CTB will be our #1 CB as long as he can stay healthy. As a rookie, he was injured early but was very solid down the stretch on the way to the AFC Championship replacing Chido. Last season was more of the same up until the second BAL game when he got injured. Maybe he’s due for better luck or maybe he’s just injury prone, but I am confident in him when available. Hill is looking like a wasted pick, at least as far as being a replacement for Bates at FS. It’ll be interesting to see if he can carve out a role going forward. He’s still a great athlete and I think he’s got potential as a blitzer playing closer to the line.

Wondering who will have the most playing time at the end of the season.. I'm guessing either Burton or one of the DT's

Think they've got a couple of PUP candidates if they decide to go that route. Complicating that is the strong possibility Mims is called on to start sooner than they'd prefer.

Graded as the 7th best class

If they don't all make the 53 man opening day roster, they should all make the all-important 69 man roster/practice squad.

I think all 10 draft picks make the final 53.

Hill has been a massive disappointment so far, no question, but I think both Taylor-Britt have excellent potential. CTB's biggest problem has been health. He finished the 2022-23 playoff season in great shape, started off last season well, then got hurt and when he returned he wasn't even close to the same level of player. People seem to forget how well Turner started off last season over his first 7 games. In 278 snaps he only allowed 9 catches in 20 targets. Those 9 catches only went for 92 yards. At a certain point though he hit the rookie wall, no doubt hampered by the fact that he had to take additional special teams snaps after Anderson and Ivey went down with ACL injuries. At the time he was taking starter snaps at CB, they should have found someone else to give all those special teams snaps too. Other starters, almost all of whom are bigger than Turner, didn't have to shoulder all of those extra ST burdens. That's what backups are for. It wasn't really fair to Turner, and it wasn't fair to the team either. That should never have been allowed to happen, and that's on the coaching staff.
