yea at this stage agents can find SOMEONE to write a glowing review, the writers are desperate for views, the players and agents are desperate for draft stock, its a system of trash.

This is a 2024 photo of Ted Karras of the Cincinnati Bengals NFL football team. Ted Karras. C. #64. Experience: 9 years. Height: 6-4. Age: 31. Weight: 310 lbs. bengals.com profile he just keeps getting taller...

Ted scouting report.. has him listed a little taller NEGATIVES Limited athleticism is the biggest negative for Karras. His explosive movements are limited, and he doesn’t show fire coming out of his stance. He’s stiff overall and will struggle to reach linebackers at the second level. Karras has the frame of a short, squatty blocker, but he plays with unusually poor pad height. He’s rarely the low man and doesn’t sink with fluid hips into his blocks. Because of that, Karras can get walked back by a good bull rush and struggle when asked to carry a block laterally. A torn MCL and ACL in 2014 will need to be checked before draft day. Karras doesn’t offer much athletically, but he is technically savvy and will give a team great effort on every down. COMBINE RESULTS Height: 6'3" Weight: 307 lbs. 40 Time: 5.35s Arm Length: 32 ⅛" 3-Cone: 8.30s Short Shuttle: 4.83s

i think ted was considered under sides as well, i may be mistaken, but he was. late round pick that panned out and was undersized to was successful.. i could be thinking of someone else, maybe someone else remembers.

chubb aside, Cmapbell was sandwiched between 2 first right talents, Rankins, the 5 minutes he was healthy, was sandwiched between A palyer we got in trade for Billy Price, and an injured sam hubbard. so im gonna stick with my point of the very differnt scenarios leading to the very differnt outcomes more so than a bad call. outcome based criticism has validity, but its a generic "just didnt get the job done" which even the best Gms on the planet are guilty of every season they dont get a ring, and even then the best GMs in the world are going against luck, health whatever else the whole league goes through. when i think of Bad GM moves i think of Giving daniel jones 140 million and not keeping Barkley, i think of franchising the future for an old drugged up fortunet teller like Aaron rodgers, i think of giving COusins a trillion dollars to come save your franchise THEN drafting a first round QB who wasnt even good in college, I think of giving a sex offender the biggest cashpot in the world and then doubling down on bad weapon contracts then tripling down moving cap dollars around wrecking the franchise in cleveland. Taking a medium pay above average DT over a nearly 40 year old no one seems to want that we never even likely had a chance at, doesnt really even register on the poor gm moves list.

yea he sucked, im not argueing that, i guess he led in the numbers as you said, but the overall grade takes into account percentages, like if he gave up 51 hurries on 600 snaps and the next guy gave up 50 hurries on 490 snaps, Cappa is going to end with a higher grade. I tend to look at the grades, as the pure numbers dont tell the full story sometimes, BUT, being the worst regardless of snaps is bad news. lmgdfao i think the only other person ive seen use uncooth in passing was my mother. typically describing my own behavior to me.

good grief man. we got the crystal ball theory combined with opposite circumstance results for the ultimate in unrealistic and unrelated series of events.... 1. whose to say calias campbell wants anything to do with playing and living in Ohio/Kentucky? 2. he was probably the worst defender on that front 4? Nick Chubb, Chop is a first round DE, Phillips a first round DT. he wouldnt have likely done shit on this DL with Bj hill and hurt hubbard next to him. 3. he is old as fuck, cheap as fuck and keeps floating to different teams, 3 teams in the last 3 seasons. even the teams who have him didnt want him again, even at 2 mil? whats everyone missing? you could say he was chasing rings, but he chose atlanta and miami so thats a tough sell. im guessing if rankins was in between 3 first round pick stud DL in miami and Campbell was on the bengals tattered and young and hurt DL, rankins probably gets better stats than Campbell and probably doesnt get the lung infection, and campbell is probably washed and we are in here complaining they brought it an expired retread instead of getting someone for $10mil like Rankins. Derrick Henry probably doesnt rush for 1900 yards if he is on the Panthers, right? Jamarr Chase dosnt sniff a triple crown if his QB is anthony richardson, right? so how is it Campbell would ahve got those stats for sure on a way worse team of complentary players? and Rankins would ahve been terrible and got a lung infection anywhere? I dont see why we cant seems to differentiate between "what decisions were made" and "how these decisions turned out" because they are very different things. Rankins was a sound pickup, Campbell is like 38, but Duke needs to learn from his mistakes i guess...

yea we need decent guys tho... 100% with you, good coaches turn decent into into good. we are lacking at least 1 decent guy (LG) unless they bring cody back. sounds like what a coach would say... "theres talent here to work with". also can we get better talent please...
-
probably. would be pretty on brand tbh lol, almost gotta be AI at this point. cant make bad players good. so lets get some decent players. why is he yelling someone unlock his caps lock i dont know a ton about Lee but i think he is too undersized to play anywhere but Center, or he would have tinkered at LG this past season. Cant say i much care what Vrabel does, especially on the offensive side of the ball, he also didnt pay AJ brown and did pay Tannehill, unless we are assuming the team did that without his agreement. Cant say i much care what the patriots do either. the franchise hasnt done a ton outside the Brady Billy B combo, so at minimum, to me, being let go for a whole new regime in a city with a defensive head coach isnt a knock on a guy. im not sure i f anyone is actually excited, so to speak, just a coach with a good pedigree and is co signed by a bunch of great coaches seems like a solid move. no coach makes bad players good players, so unless he gets good players to coach, the line wont be good. i am curious how this one turns out. The money isnt ideal, but isnt outrageous, the Guard pay market is all over the place. few guys in that 10mil range hitting the market, i also dont know whats old AF got guards, here is a list of free agents based on last years pay, for whatever thats worth. im showing 4 guards worse than Cappa at seasons end on PFF as an overall grade, and he was worst in pass pro either. someone on there as a 19.7 pass pro grade with qualifying snaps. splitting hairs but he wasnt quite the worst. this is the hardest part of pro sports. taking the worst two guys (almost) feels like even just cody ford with time and consistency at LG would have us in the 35 sack range, joewas trending midddle of the pack, and joe admits he takes sacks vs throwing dangerous balls, says if its a first down or punt situation he will hold the ball and take a sack hoping something opens up last second. and when joe runs around for 5 seconds and eventually gets sacked, im not sure im linking that to a guy, its the ones where volson gets run by or pushed over and Heyward or someone is in Burrows ballsack in .5 seconds that gotta stop. so unless there is a clear draft pick and no more valuable options at other positions, then youre sitting with the 10mil or less type guards available to sign. there is that wild jump to the nearly 20mil range after that. the hype came after being drafted, his draft stock was so low due to his size, and lack of versatility, teams want a guy who can play G/C usually, he can only play Center due to his size, but i think the staff and people raved about him in camp and preseason when he got to play.

if you believe what you read on the bathoom walls at the dennys in covington next to the gold star chili, then yes.

they dont often bother with those in thier 30's, regardless of evaluation injuries and decline are so high at that age its not worth any gamble. your best bet is to have a player or coach on your staff who was on the team with the player in question the previous year with real inside scoup, everyone else is a liar trying to help a player or themselves (see Bryant) they were told he was good, he passed a physical. The surgery to repair the cartelidge was successful, but the muscles werent strong enough to let him cut properly at full speed by the time camp rolled around. kind of a fluke issue, typically those repairs go fine, that one went fucking horrible. Bryant had the audacity to file a grievance with the bengals for not offering an injury settlement after cutting him with his 8 mil guarantee he left with.

im guessing there are better candidates than just guys he coached.. the real steals with a transition like that is late round guys.. like whose the hidden talent that didnt get the attention but if a star in the making,..... in the 5th round. what corner who didnt get on the field due to a young stud player but is smart as hell and can be a player in round 7. hips and knees... youre wasting 2 years no matter what, the injury year and the recovery year..
-
got it, yea im with you on that.. it feels to me like they have like 5-8 guys who have that fire, and a mix of confused vets who are aging and youngster who were here for it who dont know what it means to have that fire. perhaps that partly why tey tried to elist joe to fire teammates up more. coaches can only get you so far. same thing happened this year with nuggets and Jokic my NBA and NFL fandoms are soo similar its like i have a type.

chatted with a few people today, it seems the general thought it all are chosen and theyll make one announcement for all. so the wait is on DC, but not waiting to make the decision, waiting to just announce them all. the dc must have somrthing going on until like tuesday or something when i think his schedule may free up.
