Play the OL some in the preseason. If they look really good I’ll think about giving Joe a drive.

I predict Joe has his new contract prior to 8/1.

Bump

Reggie Nelson may technically have been a SS, but in Marvin’s defenses safeties were supposed to be interchangeable so I’m putting him here. QB: Joe Burr RB: Corey Dillon LT: Anthony Munoz LG: Andrew Whitworth C : Bob Johnson RG: Max Montoya RT: Willie Anderson TE: Rodney Holman WR: JaMarr Chase WR: Chad Johnson WR: Isaac Curtis K: Evan McPherson P: Pat MacInally DE: Coy Bacon NT: Tim Krumrie 3T: Geno Atkins DE: Tre Hendrickson OLB: Reggie Williams MLB: Vontaze Burfict OLB: Takeo Spikes CB: Ken Riley CB: Jonathan Joseph Slot: Mike Hilton SS: David Fulcher

Herbert gets $262M. Burrow can now get done.

Sure

I’m actually thinking about doing one of them before FS.

Casanova will be a FS option.

Calling this for Fulcher. Free safety will go up tonight.

IMO there are only 3 legitimate SS candidates, and one is head and shoulders above the rest. QB: Joe Burr RB: Corey Dillon LT: Anthony Munoz LG: Andrew Whitworth C : Bob Johnson RG: Max Montoya RT: Willie Anderson TE: Rodney Holman WR: JaMarr Chase WR: Chad Johnson WR: Isaac Curtis K: Evan McPherson P: Pat MacInally DE: Coy Bacon NT: Tim Krumrie 3T: Geno Atkins DE: Tre Hendrickson OLB: Reggie Williams MLB: Vontaze Burfict OLB: Takeo Spikes CB: Ken Riley CB: Jonathan Joseph Slot: Mike Hilton

Mike Hilton it is

Need someone to break the tie.

QB: Joe Burr RB: Corey Dillon LT: Anthony Munoz LG: Andrew Whitworth C : Bob Johnson RG: Max Montoya RT: Willie Anderson TE: Rodney Holman WR: JaMarr Chase WR: Chad Johnson WR: Isaac Curtis K: Evan McPherson P: Pat MacInally DE: Coy Bacon NT: Tim Krumrie 3T: Geno Atkins DE: Tre Hendrickson OLB: Reggie Williams MLB: Vontaze Burfict OLB: Takeo Spikes CB: Ken Riley CB: Jonathan Joseph

In the past I ran a few contests related to my draft contest, the winner of the “sub-contest” gets an extra guess. Doing that again here. What date does Joe Burrow actually sign his extension? Up to 3 people can guess the same date. Tie breaker one: how much per year in millions to 2 decimal places. Tie breaker 2: how many (new) years? So, for example August 4, 53.72, 4 years The contest will run until someone breaks news that a deal has been agreed to. As the draft contest, once your guess is entered here it cannot be changed. Sparky151 August 1, 54.25 5 additional years Esjbh2 August 5, 55.55, 5 years BlackJesus August 10, 49.50, 6 years

Jelani Thurman, Odell’s son, is a 6’6” 253 pound freshman TE at Ohio State and is one of the top TE prospects in the nation. Wow, time flies. Doesn’t seem long ago that Odell was a promising young LB for the Bengals.

You know Boomer played with Fulcher and Krumrie, right?

Boomer and Chad. But I thought long and hard about Krumrie and Fulcher over Chad.

Good! Let them have multiple short weeks!

Thinking of making a road trip to the Titans game. Anyone else interested?

We will get flexed into one.

My thoughts for this draft in particular are different from previous drafts. This may be the best chance the Bengals ever have at a championship. So I want at least the first few rounds to be focused on guys that can make an impact right now. I think Gibbs is one of those guys. He certainly adds explosion.

If Wright isn’t there I’m really warming to the idea of Gibbs at 28.

Cincinnati beating #14 Illinois by 20 right now!

So Mick got UCLA into the Final 4. Congratulations.
