    Let it go Harry, he's not on the team anymore. 

    Joe Mixon can't hurt you.

    Whom is this Joe Mixon person of whom you speak?

    I didn't mention any names.

    :rolleyes: :ninja:

    Maybe not Harry, but he lives down here now! 😄

    I guess during the season but read somewhere he still lives here.

    But good point.  Lock up your middle age women and Nerf shooters.

  13. 5 potentially surprising roster cuts for Bengals

    Shelvin was a slug and day 3 guys can't afford that. Carman was Duke's 2nd round pick and has received a longer leash. And in fairness, he's worked harder than Shelvin ever did. He's just not very good and in retrospect was obviously overdrafted. 

    The biggest 20/20 hindsight bite in the ass with Flounder is we passed on C Creed Humphry to go for the home town boy.

    Whatever... onward and upward to the Super Bowl.

    Not impossible we can trade Flounder for a case of Hudey Lite.

    I mean, we unloaded pant load Mixon for a draft pick.

    1. Offensive line

    • Overall fan concern ranking: third (22.3 percent)
    • My concern ranking: fifth

    Projected two-deep

    • Starters: LT Orlando Brown Jr., LG Cordell Volson, C Ted Karras, RG Alex Cappa, RT Trent Brown
    • Backups: RT Amarius Mims, OG Cody Ford, OL Jackson Carman, IOL Trey Hill, IOL Matt Lee

    Reason for concern

    There’s always reason for concern here. The scar tissue runs too deep and the stakes too high. The Bengals have invested in beefing up the position each of the last three seasons adding Karras, Cappa, Orlando Brown and Trent Brown as free-agent signings. Volson turned a corner late last year in the eyes of the coaching staff but on paper lists as the weakest link. That and the possibility of a stopgap veteran or rookie holding down the right side might make fans nervous, but this group is arguably the best of the Joe Burrow era.

    Key stat

    There have been 56 offensive linemen selected in the first round over the last 10 seasons. Only seven started less than half of their team’s regular season games as a rookie. In fact, 28 of those 56 picks started every game of their rookie year. Considering this stat and the injury history of Trent Brown, Mims landing double-digit starts, if healthy, feels like a solid bet.

    Important perspective

    When fully healthy last season from weeks 5 to 11, Burrow ranked seventh best in the NFL in pressure percentage against.

    X-factor

    Mims. Has to be, right? He could easily beat out Brown as the Week 1 starter. Or, he could prove every bit the inexperienced, raw prospect the Bengals knew they were getting with the 18th pick. The range of outcomes is as large as Mims himself, but the upside involves finally stopping a revolving door at right tackle that’s dogged the franchise since Willie Anderson retired. Plus, they have to start hitting on offensive line draft picks and avoid dipping into free agency for starting linemen again next year.

    X-factor 2.0 is how much Cordell Volson has beefed up and grown in the off season.

    The off season has been an overhype of Joe Burrow and a couple others prancing around in high profile crap

    and the over the top great draft and rookie class and Cordell has been completely forgotten and overlooked.

    Really hope he steps up and shines.

    I don't see Perine coming back.

    I believe Zach Moss was good at breaking tackles.

    He's very strong.

     

     

     

    And Perine is a couple years longer in the tooth.

    Not sure if he is eligible for the practice squad (doubt it) or would take it if offered

    but maybe there like a spare car part on an Auto Zone that can be pulled off and bolted in if and when the need arises.
