  2. *** [RD 1] Bengals Select ~ AMARIUS MIMS, OT ***

    Can't find an exact figure but from Wiki... (edited by me)

     

    Muñoz played college football at the University of Southern California from 1976 to 1979.  The Trojans won a bowl game in all four of Muñoz's seasons, including three victories in the Rose Bowl. However, injuries had cut Muñoz's freshman and junior seasons short, forcing him to miss the team's Rose Bowl wins in both years.

    In the opening game of his senior year, Muñoz suffered torn knee ligaments and had to miss all of the remaining regular season games, though he did return for USC's 17–16 Rose Bowl win over the previously undefeated Ohio State University on New Year's Day in 1980.

    The injury stuff does concern me but I have to assume the difference between NFL strength & conditioning vs college is dramatic, even at a program like Georgia.  The fact that he (apparently) tried to come back while still hurt says a lot.  Good on the Bulldog coaches for having the sense to pull him before he made things worse but I'm confident this guy will be on the field if he's at all able.  No more of these OTs that seem to keep coming up with mysterious muscle strains every time they have to jog a lap.

     

    Still wouldnt mind seeing 2-3 more OL picks in this draft but what a relief to see them do the obvious thing and invest in what should be a long term answer at OT.

    When I hear the injury stuff, I go back and look at Anthony Munoz college career.

    Dinged up a lot and look how he turned out.

     

    And welcome back.

  6. Who are your options in Round 1?

    in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*

    OT and Sacrilege but...

     

    One side thing I am interested in seeing how the first round plays out but also for the teams

    who draft behind us...

     

    I am as interested or perhaps more so in Round Two.

    Some very good players are going to slide into it and with our #49

    and two Third rounders... we could knock it out of the park and have a phenomenal draft.

     

    Round Two really intrigues me...

    Fuaga!

    Latham going that high?  And over Alt?

    I think I would prefer Mims over Fuaga but I'm so confused and conflicted over every OT not named Alt I don't know which was is up.

    Yeah, Murphy will be gone.

    I do like the Stealers not taking an O lineman, esp Jackson Powers-Jackson (or Mims).

    Or us not taking Brian Thomas, for that matter.

     

    Anyway, if the draft shook down something like this and C P-J fell our of the first round, I would

    trade our second and at least one of our thirds to trade up for him if we could.

    I would really like that guy in the center or our line for a decade.

    The Chiefs trading up for Mims right after the Bengals is nightmare fuel. Then he goes on to the Hall of Fame with Kermit and a trivia question becomes "Who chose right before that pick?" 

     

    It reminds me of when the Bengals took John Ross with the pick right before Mahomes was drafted. 🫠

    Not the first round but my draft nightmare is Carman over Creed Humphrey,

  12. Trey Hendrickson requests a trade !

    I tend to agree with this. No doubt he's been great, but his back issues at his age concerns me. If he wasn't making these demands I'd keep him, but I'd be okay with trading him now.

    This is a more eloquent way to put it. I love him on the roster. At this price. And maybe higher, but not much and not longer. Someone will pay for him and then give him a long term contract he won't finish. 

    You are winning me over.

    Better to trade him a year too early than a year too late.

    Age and back issues are a concern.  I say there's a good chance he retires after next year no matter where he is.

    I'm also thinking no team would give all that much for him in a trade, anyway.

    Great guy and addition to the team but his best football days are behind him.

    With 10 picks the Bengals need to be willing to move up. But you can really only trade for a pick that's on the clock once you know who you can select with it. So don't expect any pre draft trades. 

     

    If there is an OT run and the Bengals will lose out on all the top 5-6 ... They have to be willing to package picks and be aggressive. 

     

    I cannot handle watching Mims throw Myles Murphy around like a rag doll for the next 5 years in a Squeelers uniform. 

    Per my previous post... I am more worried about Jackson Powers-Jackson doing this and he will be there waiting when the Steals make their pick.

     

    As far as trades, I think that is more likely to happen for us in Round 2.

    Our 49 plus the freebee second third rounder to move up... for a slider.

    Yeah... going with "it has to be true because I read it on the internet'... I would not be surprised if this is to.

    My first choice is Murphy but he will be long gone.

    The four OT's I like who may or may not be there (not counting Alt) are

    The Three F's,, Fautanu, Fashenu, Fuaga and Mims

    I would go for a patented Bengals surprise move.

    I would like to see Jackson Powers-Johnson in stripes, in the interior of the O line for a long time to come.

    Paul Brown said "Start with a Center and build around him" (paraphrase)... and he took Bob Johnson.

    And as much as I hate to say it, it is what the Stealers do.  Webster to Dawson to Pouncy ... how many decades of pro bowl and

    eventual Hall of Fame centers?  Besides, if we don't get him the Stealers will and make meh running backs into all pros.

    He would certainly open some holes in the middle of the line for Not Mixon to run through and if Mixon was still here it would

    be someone else for him to run into and fall on his ass.

    (OT... Mixon's sister's trial was yesterday for shooting that kid with a mini assault rifle)

     

    My question about Jackson-Powers-JIngleheimer-Schmidt is he like Dave Rimington, too muscle bound to get his steroid

    amped arms through his legs to snap the ball.

     

    Ain't gonna happen and TYVM

  18. Who is your Puke Pick @ 18? 🤮

    I don’t think they will take anyone not worth the pick, so I don’t think I have a puke pick. But if they pass on a quality RT I will not be happy. Protect. The. Franchise. 

    If they pass on a RT for anyone but Byron Murphy I will be unhappy.

    If they do take Murphy in the first... pipe dream, he won't be there...

    I would trade #49, #80 and #97 to the highest bidder and take the best O lineman with that pick

    including Centers and OG's.

  23. Pick 18, what should Bengals do?

    With Duke Tobin out with his Dad's recent passing, Mike Potts held the pre-draft press conference earlier today. He handled himself really well, I thought. 

     

    Interesting to me that he mentioned on the analytics side that Elizabeth Blackburn has also created some reports that they use in scouting/draft prep. I know there's that Sam Francis guy and some others on the staff who do that analytics work full-time, but the fact that she's doing that, in addition to her other work - really impressive. I know she's really bright, and in addition to working on fan engagement, she's very hands-on regarding a lot of team things. But I didn't know she was involved at that level re:  the on-field football operations piece too. But her Mom has been, between contracts and being on an NFL committee or two, so I shouldn't have been surprised. 

     

    Anyway, it's posted on Bengals.com. 

    She should give up the "fan engagement" crap :liberalmedia:

    CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed two quarterbacks on Tuesday: Jake Browning and Logan Woodside. 

    Browning, a second-year player from the University of Washington, signed a two-year exclusive rights contract through the 2025 season. 

    After Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow got hurt in the 2023-24 season, Browning stepped up and played in nine games, seven of which he started. 

    According to his stats, he led the Bengals to a 4-3 record as a starter, completed 171 of 243 passes for 1,936 yard and scored 12 touchdowns.

    Woodside, who is a fifth-year player from the University of Toledo, has played in 13 career games for the Tennessee Titans and the Atlanta Falcons. He has completed four of seven passes for 34 yards.
