Marlon23 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I think they did a good effort tonight. I hope they come out ready to be good this year. They seem to be on the track and field. I think it is going to be a good fall season and part of winter season!! PS Marvin looking Pregnant. WHO DEY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griever Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 "We did some good things" *clap clap clap* But seriously, aside from the pick six and vinny's ankle I thought things went well. Mixon looked good, no snap issues by Price, aj is still aj, geno is still geno, I think Tate made the roster last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah, it was good. Especially for a first pre-season game. Last year, the horror of what was to come at o-line showed up right away in pre-season game 1 and carried forward all pre-season into the regular season. Last night showed that the line has a chance to be simply average. Get average play from the o-line, and the skill players at WR, RB and TE can REALLY make plays. The flash from both the offense and first team defense was a reason to feel pretty good this AM, frankly, if you are a Bengals fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Also, Auden Tate has to make the team if they want to keep him. ZERO chance he makes it through waivers and onto practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Also, while we are here on Tate, does he remind anyone else of a slightly bigger Anquan Boldin? Here are there respective combine numbers: http://draftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=168&draftyear=2003&genpos= http://www.draftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=1002950&draftyear=2018&genpos=WR Kinda close, no?

I think they see him as a steal and middle rounds pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Well, the starting offense didn’t score a TD at all in the preseason or first 2 games last year, and they got 2 in 3 drives last night, so, yeah, they were gooder. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Technically, all three drives ended in TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine we would keep 7 receivers. Erickson is our punt and kick returner. Core? There are probably 5 teams that would pick him up tomorrow.

Speaking of that...the dude returning punts in the 2nd half looked pretty darn good...forget his name? He definitely wasn't scared and just charged like a bull in a china shop. Not saying it's enough to supplant Erickson or anything, but just fun to watch. I was impressed with the WR corps. Ross certainly could have done better, not only with falling down on the Pic-6, but he seemed to either slip or not elevate at catch point on a couple others that should have been catches...but he did play a fair amount and did flash, so I'll be a bit more patient with him. Sure were a lot of blown coverages in the secondary in 2nd half...guess it doesn't matter too much since many of those guys will either be ST's or insurance salesmen come regular season. Do we know how bad Vinnie's ankle is yet? FOOTBALL!!!!!!! YES!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injury, I think their pecking order is already set in stone, with Core being the final decision. If they decide they need him for what he brings to special teams, we will keep 7 WRs. If not, he gets cut and we keep 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tate will have to play his way off the roster at this point. Core would probably be the odd man out if they keep 6 receivers (AJ, Boyd, Ross, Malone, Erickson, Tate). Erickson is safe because he is valuable for ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 6 good WRs so I can't see keeping an extra one for fun. We may be swapping olineman in an out like last year hoping somebody steps up between Hart, Fisher, Hopkins and Ced. Fisher was starting to look passable last year until the heart thing. Glenn is coming off injury so gotta keep than in back of head. The team has to produce this year.

The question is can you keep that extra o lineman on the practice squad. I think that's a better possibility than getting Tate to the Squad.

Rick Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 After watching and thinking about the Bears’ game, I believe our weak link is the offensive line. I have tried to find a way to fix it. The only fix I can come up with is a trade. I wish we would have been able to trade AJ to Cleveland for a nice draft pick. However, good news, I still stand by my 8-8 record for 2018. Hopefully, we draft offensive line help next spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
