    This is a bit premature don't you think, he's only had one game and few practices. 

     

    Not sure what the expectation is but I don't think he's disappointing anyone. He's playing behind really good/great players in Hubbard and Hendrickson, and quality depth in Ossai and the others. He wasn't overly productive in college, but he has good athleticism and work ethic. 

     

     

     

     

     

    That's the only thing that worries me,  I'd prefer production over potential (I still think he will work out  tho).

     

    And on a side note, when you re drafting as late in the round as we were do you expect an instant starter?

  2. Got to give it  to Geno, but here is no way Reid was a scrub:

     

    Reid was the first-round selection (#7 pick overall) of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1970 NFL Draft.[4] In the team's third season, it won the AFC Central Division and made the playoffs. In 1971, Reid established himself as one of the NFL's best pass rushers by recording 12 sacks, a figure he repeated in 1972. In 1971 Reid was a consensus All-AFC selection and the following year he was consensus All-Pro as well as being voted consensus All-AFC again.

    In 1973, he topped those marks by recording 13 sacks. He was named All-Pro by the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) and was second-team All-Pro according to the Associated Press and Pro Football Writers Association. For the third consecutive season Reid was consensus All-AFC.

    In 1974, due primarily to injuries, he recorded only seven sacks, bringing his career total to 49. In his final season, Reid was again an All-AFC selection by Pro Football Weekly. Although sacks were an unofficial statistic, the Bengals kept track of them and Reid retired as the leading sacker in the team's short history.

    He made two trips to the Pro Bowl (1972 and 1973) before his retirement following the 1974 season due to knee and hand injuries and his desire to focus on a music career. In 1996, he received the NFL Alumni Career Achievement Award for his success in his post-NFL career.

    He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Walter Camp "Alumnus of the Year" award in 1987. In 1995, he received the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award. Reid was named as part of the Bengals' 40th Anniversary All-Time team in 2007. In 2017, Reid was named as part of the Bengals' 50th Anniversary All-Time Team.

     

    If not for injuries there is no telling how far he could have gone.

    One thing about the schedule being released has me thinking about...uniforms. wonder if we go with the White tiger twice again this year or if we go with one and reserve two games for the Orange.

     

    I know a lot of people don't like it, but I think the Orange jersey Black pants combo is one of their best looks. Still think they should get rid of the Nemo pants though and go with black/orange striped panel on white pants.

     

    Gimme those tiny whiteys baybee!!! I'd make them the default uni and only wear something else when forced.

    According to this guy Jackson went public requesting a trade at the same time Harbaugh started a press conference. If that isn't a big "Fuck You!" to team and management I can't imagine what is. Talk about poisoning the well (or at least pissing in it); are we reaching the irreconcilable differences point? I'm beginning to think Jackson is the epitome of the saying "He who represents himself has a fool for a client".

  5. I think the Bengals are a better team than the Stealers, I'm just not confident the y will go out and prove it on the field. Part of it is just the jaded outlook  of "I'm not sure they are as good as I think they are" and the other part is a hangover of Marvin Lewis abysmal record against them. I/n  not sure what it is but I'm fairly certain it looks something like this: 🤮

     

    Hope I'm happy come 4PM or so.
