T-Dub Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Rickety-assed Tyler Eifert at TE1 Ol' Musty just can't quit him. If I'm Kroft there's no way I take an extension here just to get benched every time Eifert manages to hobble onto the field. Good to see Ross climbing into the 2nd string at least.

sparky151 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'd think Kroft could sign an extension knowing he's likely to be the starter most of the time. But the Bengals won't offer him starter money. If we're starting Bobby Hart, our O-line is already in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll have other offers and almost as sure that he will take one of them. Quote If we're starting Bobby Hart, our O-line is already in trouble. Our OL was in trouble before Whit left. At this point it's more like trying to put out the fire. We can worry about whether they're going to be any good once we have 5 guys that look like NFL players.

|schotzee| Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Kind of on topic. It's in referfence to the o-line. Was just reading a link on espn about names in potential trades. Chaz Green from the Cowboys was mentioned. I thought he might be an interesting player to inquire about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Needs are at Backup QB, OL. Backup QB would be Matt Moore, and potential trades for Mike Glennon (maybe a cc) or Teddy B. OL. Sign anyone and shift around. JR Sweezy was just out there. Solidify RG if you have to but do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The 9th overall pick is a third down receiver. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't take this as you saying your not in favor of him having to earn his position on the team because of how a draft pick he was right?

If he ends up being the #3 receiver then it was probably a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you, if Boyd at pick #55 is a better receiver than Ross, so be it. You certainly play the best receiver but it does make you rethink the pick in the first place. Hopefully, he blows it up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s at least see him in some preseason action, maybe even some regular season games. Competition breeds higher caliber play, generally speaking. Also, practicing against WJIII and Kirkpatrick should make for favorable improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of the team fluffing him, is more the issue. Same goes for Eifert - I dgaf how much you're paying them, I'd rather hear about guys that play & produce. I don't know the first thing about Tyler Boyd beyond vaguely remembering him making some plays down the stretch. Can't say I was entirely tuned in by that point, but now he's penciled in as a starter so I'd rather read about him than some guy struggling to get on the field.

They may or may not be in trouble but at least they aren't rolling out the same guys and praying they improve. I still think removing Bodine and Alexander from the equation is a win by itself. The oline wasn't broken in a season so it will probably take at least a couple to fix it. Personally I am hoping for improvements this year so they are at least closer to average. I will give Pollack a chance to work with these guys before declaring it a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wonder if our backup QB might be on the Stealers. Josh Dobbs has been looking good and I was a big fan when he came out. Definitely inconsistent but strong arm, mobility and genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
