ValleyBengal Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 The real curse is that we as fans have been conditioned to expect that injuries are expected, yet we will do nothing sand just go to war with what we have. Mike Brown will never ever dole out short term money to plug glaring weaknesses. The long term impact has always been valued over the short term goals - but the NFL is a year to year league, so the long term play rarely works out. So, I expect some scrap heap signing, lamentations that we can’t break the bank for a short term gap, and the usual lethargy set in when other teams find a way to sign replacements for their camp injuries. It’s good to be a Bengals fan when you’re a masochist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ominous start for Taylor to lose his first pick before training camp. Coupled with Boling's unknown status, the o-line is looking pretty thin. Like it or not, Glenn and Hart are locked in at OT and there's basically no one behind them. It's not good and it could sink the season. It's a shame for Williams but it continues the trends of Bengals 1st round picks and Alabama players getting injured as rookies. I have no doubt he will come back strong, but it's hard to downplay how badly this hurts the team's chances this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but from what Lapham said the issue might be an injury he can't play through. So it's not so much Boling being cut as it is him going on PUP or IR.

T-Dub Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 So we're back to the 2018 line, only replacing Boling with a guy that spent last season on his couch? Oof, Almost like betting an NFL season on one rookie LT wasn't a great plan. Hey, at least we have Drew Sample! If Dalton has to spend another season running for his life I expect it will be his last for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 The fact that this has happened in some capacity to all of our 1st round pics going back to Dennard makes me believe it isnt a case of bad luck but of structural issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that would not be possible with that kind of damage but I ain't a real doctor. ~Team Eeyore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ced and Ross were hurt before the draft and the Bengals still drafted them in the first round. However, you have to question the medical staff and their ability to identify and project potential injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
