I'm pretty sure that Hewitt's official position is TE, but it's more like H-Back/FB, because most of the time he's the lead blocker for Hill and Bernard. Cincy doesn't want a traditional fullback because it would use up a roster spot, so it goes to Hewlitt for that job.

Ditto. He's quite consistent. I definitely like that in those drills where the field goal team have to scamble onto the field to line up for potential game-tying or game winning kicks, it doesn't seem to affect his rhythm or accuracy... And that power definitely is a plus, especially in a place like Cincy where Nov-Jan it's gonna be stupidly cold to the point that you are kicking a rock. Kickoffs are above average as well, consistent touchbacks, good hangtime as well which is needed for our cover teams. At some of those kickoffs, it seemed to actually explode from his kicks. Now mind you, it's just probably still the honeymoon period, but I definitely see upgrade from Nugent and Bullock, maybe even so that we were at least 8-8 with our new guy. But still it's a long way from the University of Memphis to the NFL. And even though Elliot probably is gonna be compared so much to Stephen Gostkowski because they both kicked for the Tigers, other than performance I would like to see Elliot make a name for himself other than Gostkowski's successor.

All this shit is still there until we make a Championship Game at least, with the majority key players in a run like that, Mixon in the conversation for OROY because despite the off-field stuff, production translates in all languages, and Ross looks like the next coming of Antonio Brown... A Superbowl appearance would shut up a good chunk of them, a Superbowl win would shut everyone else up forever because then we can figurately show them the ring. And if Doc was to bitch on the Bengals so damn much, he should move to Cleveland.

Well played....very well played... I needed a good chuckle...

Now it's looking like a Bengals draft....there are question marks, but the people that Bengals target and draft have positive reputations, and for the most part they are productive...Not to mention that probably in a year or two, I'm pretty sure that at least three of them can turn out to be starters, to offset letting other players go via free agency, like Sanu and Jones last offseason...

I swear, this board is schizo as fuck half the time, especially this time of year with the draft. And believe me, I'm as schizo as the rest because of the times I'm changed opinions. I do laud you for being constant in your opinions though, no matter what the media or other sources say, you always seem to find that elusive silver lining in pretty much everything.

Get over the Ray Lewis thing already... anyway, we have Antonio Brown (Ross) and now we got Leveion Bell (Nixon)...gee I wonder who's next? Ryan Shazier??? All of a sudden we're trying to mimic PissPuke??/!?!?!?! What in the fucking hell....

Well, the majority of you all are going get their wish...Marvin Lewis is not coming back next season. First Ross, and now Nixon. Obviously they are stacking up the offense so that the next head coach is offensive-minded and actually hit the ground running....

I'm feeling better about the pick now. Apparently he's as good as expected, and definitely liking the intangibles... Also loving the comparison that Ross could be "Chad Johnson with speed", meaning if Ross is like Chad from 2001-2006 with the sleeping in the office and the work ethic, all of a sudden, he could be the steal of the draft... Not to mention he does help 2 out of three phases of the team, offense AND special teams/returns. He may not be a regular on offense, but better believe it that we will see him more on returns than offense--unless he blows up preseason... This is gonna be intriguing at least...

Really??? Shows what I know. Apparently they see something I'm not seeing, and I hope it's not just because he has a 4.22 40. If anything I would rather hope that he's more like the G.O.A.T, where even though Jerry Rice had a pretty average 40, the thing with him is that no one could actually run him down...like where most good WRs have a second gear, Rice had a third... Also, since Ross is one of us now, he better be stupid elite at running those slants, like Michael Irvin. He masters that, then the 4.22 becomes an effective weapon...

Should have known... I had a feeling the Bengals pick was gonna be a "FUCK YOU" to all of us thinking anything but Ross.... And I don't know much about the guy other than that he's run a 4.22 40....I think I understand that this pick seems more like a "make sure Stealers don't get him, he's a potential Antonio Brown clone" pick, and considering that Lafell resigned with us, A.J Green's coming off a year which he sat the last 5 games because of injury, we just drafted Boyd and Core who still are somewhat unknowns, I don't get it. Why Ross? Did we suddenly become the Raiders of the 2000's, where every pick is a horrible choice and a bust?? We have pass catchers, why not someone on defense, or more urgently, a O-Lineman so that Dalton doesn't become a pinata....??

As long as it is a remarked change from how our LB corps w/execution to burdock has been an embarrassing joke, I'm willing to see how that Milner guy turns out Sent from my iPod touch using Go-Bengals.com

So what is the lowdown on minter? How is he such a good signing, despite the age? I'm just curious. Sent from my iPod touch using Go-Bengals.com
