The problem is that the 7 slot was signed for way more than he should have been. This is what happens when the Oakland Raiders are used as an indication of anything, ever.

This is also what can happen when you ALWAYS wait for your player to be slotted before you sign him.

[b]HARD KNOCKS, EPISODE TWO
[/b](The one where Chase Coffman gets compared to a stiff part of the male anatomy)

Was it me, or was the guy on the left just a little too affectionate toward another grown man?

[img]http://content.clearchannel.com/cc-common/mlib/1120/08/1120_1250740642.JPG[/img]

-Nothing like a quarterback telling his center that he needs to do some cleaning up downstairs by informing him that he smelled the top of his hand and that he thought he had stuck it in the toilet. Took some effort explaining that one to the wife.

-Tank Johnson needs to hire me to assemble his furniture. I dominate at putting together furniture with unclear instructions. I'd have the bed, and the entire bedroom set together in 20 minutes.

-I bet we hear nationally about Tank asking if google can do something about making sure the charges against him aren't the first thing that comes up when his name is searched.

-Not sure I got what points the cop was trying to make talking about coconut trees.

-Marvin's first words of wizdom after the mock game: "don't drink and drive." Tremendous.

-Chase Coffman might end up in Canton, but I'll know him here and forever as "crash dummy." And he'll always be remembered as the player who Jonathan Hayes said moved like "old people screwing" and was compared to an erect penis. I wish our meetings at the radio station were like NFL position group meetings.

-The narrator still sounds like he'd rather be eaten alive by a lion than narrate the show.

-When I hit 32 later this year, I'm adopting Carson Palmer's theories on aging.

-Laverneaus Coles sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber, putting him in the early lead for competition of creepiest Bengal.

-My favorite scene of the first two episodes hands down: Marvin explaining to Chad how banks work. Funny on many levels, yet oddly poignant.

-Not on my list of players who I thought would be scolded for not studying the playbook: Chinedum Ndukwe.

-This show, at the very least, gives the team ad opportunity to move away from the criminal reputation and show viewers people like Corey Lynch. The scenes of him, and the team, spending time with the woman who's life he saved after a car crash were very cool.

-Bengals TV sideline guy got some airtime. I'm sure a nation expresses its gratitude.

-The coaches in the booth during games sound like us as fans.

-Marvin after the game emphatically announces that "never will we accept losing." Maybe he can pass on this new philosphy to his bosses.

-During the coaches' evaluation meeting, you had Mike Sheppard and Marvin talking about Chris Henry: "he doesn't play smart football" and about Chad: "he doesn't play full speed all the time." Delightful.

-Mike Brown walks into a personnel meeting and announces that the meeting "will not take long" because everyone is tired. Yeah, because why woul you spend a lengthy amount of time of such trivial matters as roster construction? In said meeting though, Jim Lippincott found the chair over an air conditoning vent.

The cop giving the speech to pplayers had way too much caffeine

And why was that cop even talking about coconuts and sharks? There aren't either for at least 500 miles from Georgetown Kentucky.

[b][size="5"]'Hard Knocks' recap: Episode 2[/size][/b][size="5"] [/size]

August 20, 2009 10:30 AM

[i]Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker[/i]

HBO's "Hard Knocks" series with the [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=cin"][color="#000000"]Cincinnati Bengals[/color][/url] continued Wednesday night.

Here is a recap of some of the highlights:

[b]Synopsis:[/b] This week's episode focused a lot on Bengals quarterback [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4459"][color="#000000"]Carson Palmer[/color][/url], who was accurately described as the team's most important player this season. Cincinnati played a mock game and also its first preseason game against the [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nor"][color="#000000"]New Orleans Saints[/color][/url]. Before the game, Bengal players and coaches were telling each other this was the start of something special. But the exhibition turned out to be a 17-7 win for the Saints. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis wasn't happy afterwards about the team's second-half performance.

[b]QB wisdom:[/b] According to Palmer, 60-to-70 percent of what star receiver [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2584"][color="#000000"]Chad Ochocinco[/color][/url] says is just hot air. Palmer says he tunes out his top target most of the time.

[b]More Ocho:[/b] The veteran receiver went out for a rare night on the town during training camp and ended up being harassed by a male fan. Ochocinco handles it well and later responds, "See how boring my life is? All I have is Twitter." The show also focused on his not-so-good diet, which has always included a lot of McDonald's.

[b]Truth vs. reality:[/b] "Hard Knocks" continues to make rookie tight end [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12536"][color="#000000"]Chase Coffman[/color][/url] a huge goat on the show, which is only part of the story. Coffman is making rookie mistakes, but he's gradually improved as camp has progressed. Yet it seems every one of his mistakes is being profiled in what's framed almost as a running joke. It was pretty funny that the coaching staff came up with a new nickname for Coffman: "Crash dummy."

[b]Far apart:[/b] The show ends with a bang as Bengals vice president Katie Blackburn is on the telephone negotiating with Alvin Keels, the agent for first-round pick [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12622"][color="#000000"]Andre Smith[/color][/url]. With tens of millions of dollars at stake, both sides argue over the [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12570"][color="#000000"]Darrius Heyward-Bey[/color][/url] deal and how it impacts Smith. Keels wants more than Heyward-Bey, while Blackburn doesn't want to give the No. 6 pick more than the No. 7 pick. It's not looking good.

[b]Grade:[/b] A-

[b]Why:[/b] As expected the show is getting better with each episode. This week's version was very personality based, which is great for Bengals fans and non-Bengals fans alike. Viewers got to know players like Palmer, [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10696"][color="#000000"]Chinedum Ndukwe[/color][/url], [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8497"][color="#000000"]Chris Henry[/color][/url] and [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11411"][color="#000000"]Corey Lynch[/color][/url] on a more personal level. There were even small details such as how to make a quarterback wristband before game day, which was probably a television first. All and all it was a great job of chronicling the past week in "Bengaldom."

[/b]
[i]Editor's note: my friend Keeli Garza is giving us an outsider's perspective on Hard Knocks. Here's her second episode recap:[/i]

Previously — on 'Hard Knocks' … we learned Roy Williams is fat and worthless, Mike Brown is an idiot, Tank Johnson can't do math and 'Child, Please' means Ocho Cinco wants you to eff off.

Greetings again - it's me, your resident 'Hard Knocks' veteran.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, but I was also a very important part of last year's 'Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys.' You probably remember me as 'Gal with Recorder at the Pacman Jones Press Conference.'

I know my parents and immediate family do.

For a football team, what 'Hard Knocks' means is a ton of cameras, cords and non-essential people standing around watching your every move, every word and every ridiculous performance.

For an outsider, 'Hard Knocks' provides an enjoyable insight to a team you might not normally care about.

And now, my weekly review of 'Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals:

* Georgetown is beautiful this time of year. But the guy getting his haircut at the barbershop has totally gone Hollywood. I hope he isn't using Lindsay Lohan's Sunless Tanner.

* The Bengals' offense is terrible — they keeping referring to this magic 2005 season of 11-5 that the franchise can't recreate. News flash: Deltha O'Neal isn't coming up with 10 INTs anymore. Rudi Johnson isn't a surprise to the NFL anymore. Chad Johnson isn't any good … but we'll save that discussion for a later date.

* I keep looking for this "big ass stick" the Bengals are carrying. Please email me if you see it — [email="keeli@keeligarza.com"][color="#0066cc"]keeli@keeligarza.com[/color][/email]. I'm always a fan of big sticks.

* In case you haven't noticed folks, we're in a recession. Everyone is having to cut back. The Bengals have decided to stop washing the pants of the offensive linemen, forcing Carson Palmer's hands to smell like old farts after being under center for a while. Don't bother with writing your Congressman — this is easily fixed. Just go down to your local Dollar Store, buy some laundry detergent, and send it to the Bengals at this address: Offensive Line's Dirty Drawers c/o Cincinnati Bengals, 1 Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH 45202. Only you can prevent under-center stink.

* "Your Gatorade mix to water ratio is off" … if this doesn't set off your Gaydar, I don't know what does. Really, Carson? Just get your people to stock the table with bottled Gatorade. Or pay 'trainer' Lamar a little more.

* And then we reach the 'touchy' topic of Ocho Cinco being one of the best receivers in the NFL. I could quote stats, but I'm pretty sure you're disappointed in his performance last season — I mean, he was the 5th best Johnson out of receivers in the league last year. Maybe Carson thought he was throwing to Andre Johnson?

* On a serious note — I hope Chris Henry makes it work. The odds are completely against him, but I wish him luck.

* The Bengals' defense looks as opportunistic as ever.

* When we last saw Roy Williams, he was carrying two plates of food, talking about how different training camp was. 'Biscuit' Williams was never one to shy away from laying blame back in his Cowboys days, so we present — the Roy Williams Blame List (to be updated every week):

* (Chris Henry) For tying Roy up so he couldn't make a play — Henry grabbed him legally and then let up when Williams was out-of-bounds, something Roy was not used to.

* Again, I go back to wide receiver production. Why are the Bengals being so hardass on a receiver that hasn't played for a season, yet they let their 'premiere' receiver skate for having the same production? Ocho = No No

* Forcing it to Ocho is bad — one drop, one pick, one fade touchdown … again, he is no T.O.

* Tank Johnson should have gone to IKEA for his bunkbeds. No nails, just an Allen wrench.

* Our friend Roy Williams does a rain dance, then celebrates when it rains and he doesn't have to practice.

* Phrase I've never heard before: "You're standing straight up like a wedding dick" — tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes to rookie Chase Coffman, based on his practice performance.

* Back to OchoCinco. He makes fun of Laveranues Coles' portable hyperbaric chamber tent, but let's compare stats in 2008:
Coles: 850 yards, 7 TDs
Cinco: 540 yards, 4 TDs
And which player missed time due to injury …

* Also, McDonalds — please call Ocho. He's looking for sponsorship.

* As for the maligned eyechart-named safety that has temporarily been displaced by 'Biscuit' Williams — don't worry! You're still better in coverage than Biscuit.

* Corey Lynch is probably one of the best guys out there. Not as a player, but as a human being. Corey saved a woman's life and felt so compelled to check up on her, and then brought her out to camp. Leonard Little, he is not. We hear too much about these terrible character people the NFL employs, but it's guys like Lynch that prove the league is human. Let's organize a Lynch jersey run, OK?

* The Bengals employ a cougar to print out Carson Palmer's wristband.

* And Ocho is full of excuses, especially come game time. And then there's the O-Line .. is it too late to fire the o-line coach? It's bad for your backup fullback to get hurt, but your franchise QB too?

* And here is all you need to know about your Bengals: "85 … has some plays that he takes off. His effort is better with the running game, but we gotta get those plays out of him that he doesn't play full-speed all of the time"

The question I have is... Why exactly is it that C Trent thinks anyone gives a fuck what some silly cunt cowboy fan thinks? And she has to try and be witty? Child please.

Tank Johnson assembling the bed was good. You'd think Chad's agent would have referred him to a financial planner by now. His career is mostly over and he should have been investing since at least his second contract.

Brat saying we couldn't get push from the O-line is depressing but true. Collins is much better in pass protection than run blocking. Cook doesn't get much movement either. It felt to me like Marvin's postgame speech in New Orleans was very camera conscious. Talking about not accepting losing doesn't make much sense when the team has lost plenty the last couple years and has a game coming up vs the Patriots.

JT didn't seem to think Marvins half time speech was out of place... What makes you think Marvin would think it's ok to lose? I mean, I'm sure he understands that winning isn't really the objective right now, but that's not what the players need to think. From head coach to player - losing [b]IS NEVER[/b] acceptable... Just like he said.

Not a lot we didn't already know, although it's great to see that the coaches know some things too.

Carson is the fucking man. Funny, insanely intelligent, a leader, talented, hard-working. The only thing that saddened me was he's 30 this year. I could watch him play forever and if he retires without a ring it'll be a shame.
Chad is all about Chad. And he takes plays off and drops balls. Move along, nothing new here.
Amazed that Nuke was ragged a bit and then the narrator said how he's playing hard to prove himself. Does anyone else remember Nuke doing anything but laying wood?
Feel sorry for Chase in a way. Good that the coaches are on him, sad that the editing makes it seem like he's a tard.
No Michael Johnson yet? Boo!! No Coles? Not much Rey? BOOOOO!
Mike Browns team, Mike Browns money. But hell's teeth doesn't he look out of his depth. He's not an inspiring leader. I'm not in the MBS club, but wowsers he isn't impressive.
Always great to see Marvin with some fire. Makes those bland pressers much easier to sit through knowing he is what he needs to be behind closed doors.
Slim has some sick skills.
Finally, Jeremi Johnson. How on earth did he get his job back? Fat ass with less conditioning than me! Christ on a bike he's awful. How the mighty fell.

How in the hell do you say that you don't want to pay him more than DHB? DHB was #7, Andre was #6. How do you justify that?

If you didn't want to pay the #6 pick in the draft like the #6 pick in the draft then trade down. Jesus Christ.

its really that confusing to you eh?

the #6 pick last year got huge overpayment from the jets.. and the #7pick this year got a huge overpayment from the raiders..

somehow its logical to you that we are now forced to overpay?

thats fucking stupid.. i hope you never own a business..

"well the guy doing slightly better thn me pays way more, so i should too!!!"

several players in the draft got less money than picks below them..

tyson jackson got less than curry,

larry english got less than freeman

ayers got less than maclin

etc..

how do you justify paying a guy way more than 90% of the other draft picks ahve been paid, in lines with year over year increases, etc., just because you got fucked in the #6 spot.. from last years #6 and this years #7..

please justify that with something useful and factual.. not "um, cuzz he was picked higher!!1111"

fucking dense.

what buffoon thinks his team should pay 30% more because some other asshole did?

its pure idiocy..



too harsh? :2dedhorse:

Did anyone read [b]Lance[/b]'s comments concerning last nights episode. Dude has a hard on against the Bengals. He hated the show. Guess he and I weren't watching the same show.

its an absolute shame that such a biased as is actually in charge of hosting "Bengals Pep Rally" on Fridays before games.
