  1. I'd much rather start a rookie guard than a rookie center. Why not let him replace Volson directly for now?
  2. They signed Sheldon Rankins from the Texans https://www.bengals.com/news/sheldon-rankins-free-agency-2024-defensive-tackle-houtson-texans
  3. If you mean Tee for two 2nd round picks, yeah. Not to move up 5 spots in the 2nd round.
  4. Which does seem like kind of a big deal when they don't have a starting RT on the roster. I'd still rather have Chase & will instead point to not making a single OL pick last year.
  5. Actually I watched some highlights, he's got good feet and showed some moves. He's not just out there being a boulder in the middle of the line, dude can pass rush or chase down RB's. Showed some patience at times as well. He looks persistent which I like to see from the DL, a lot of young guys will decide they're out of a play and jog it off. He's still just a prospect & I think would definitely benefit from being in a rotation while he gets up to NFL conditioning, but I wouldn't hate it at #18.
  6. If the powers that be want to have a conversation about how social media algos are being written & why, across the board, that's a different conversation. Or if we're worried about China "influencing" us, anyone else familiar with the OceanWide Plaza mess in DTLA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanwide_Plaza Would love to see the feds turn a team of forensic accountants loose on that shit. Or just seize it, but they won't, because Chinese influence 💰💰💰
  7. That's exactly what it is about. All this moralizing shit is just a weak excuse, it's about as valid as comic books causing juvenile delinquency in the 50's or the Satanic Panic of the 80's. If China is such a threat maybe we shouldn't be dependent on them for anything that runs on electricity.
  8. At the college level. He won't get by just being bigger than everyone in the NFL.
  9. I said, “Why the f--- did you not slide (protections)? And we just kind of laughed about it,” Rankins recalled. “You know, (Taylor) was like, ‘You know what, man, you know, we probably should have.’” Ahahahaa... Yeah. Our HC maybe has no business being an OC. Heheh. Good one, Sheldon.
  10. He's missed time because he's being hit more than any other QB in the NFL when he's active. They need to fix the problem, not stock up on bandages.
  11. My impression is either heavily medicated or legit a couple wontons short of a pu pu platter. Or both.
  12. If you think death threats using TikTok are a valid reason to ban it just wait until you hear what people have done with telephones or pen & paper.
  13. Like we'd made a sidegrade at best at RT based on his stats, if not downgraded, and why are we benching Volson for a rookie before they even get to camp?
  14. Sure, and I suppose some really are that. It's when they start talking about how no one in the NFL will be able to cover/block/tackle them etc that you have to worry. John Ross was going to run by everyone, until he got hit & reminded everyone it's a full-contact sport and not a track meet. Like I find myself saying every year around draft time, just about every player in the NFL was Billy Badass in college. Most of them are JAG at the next level.
  15. Only the Stealers could cut a first round pick after all of 24 starts, replace him with a completely washed Russel Wilson (who Denver couldn't wait to dumpster despite owing a ton of money & having no solid starter in his place) only to have some ESPN jackass try to spin that as the two shrewdest QB moves the NFL has seen in years. I suppose it's not quite Deshaun Watson to Cleveland stupid, but WTF? Should someone explain to Mike Greenberg that "shrewdest" doesn't mean "most resembling this thing"? Whenever he gets done huffing Steeler taint, I mean.
  16. Oh is Bowers this year's "THE NFL ISN'T READY!!" pre-draft Hall of Fame candidate that's going to score 11 TDs a game & change the sport forever? Narrator voice: "The NFL, as it turns out, was in fact ready."
  17. They've made some good additions but as you point out have yet to address the two biggest roster needs. Fact is this was an average team last year, as their record shows. It's great if people want to hype them up but some of that list was complete nonsense.
  18. "A competent OL protecting him" They haven't had a competent OL in 10+ years who are we kidding
  19. They'd rather carry that guy on the roster than spend a 5th round draft pick. It's puzzling.
  20. He's just a fatter Jonah. A backup that thinks he should start. Oddly, the Bengals seem to love losing seasons to these types on the OL.
  21. The difference between Apple taking an app out of their store and a federal ban that includes a provision for shutting off an individual's internet access entirely should be obvious
  22. Still think any AFCN team would win that division, but I'd say that about most of them.
