Looking forward to Pollack helping these guys upgrade their play. He will... What amazed me about the whole Turner mess is how it came after all that big talk about character and building a culture. Then they extended the "phenomenal" Bobby Hart & stood idly by while he dropped antisemitic & homophobic bombs all over social media. It was at this point that I determined ZT was a grade A bullshit artist & that plus a willingness to work cheap is why he was hired. He's adept at shirking blame and making excuses. THAT is the Bengals culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinton Nelson would like a word with him about that claim. Joe Thuney too. I can't speak for Spicoli, but I was talking about the top guard in this draft, day one. If I were to take a guess I would bet he is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLBENGALS STAFF 1 HOUR AGO CINCINNATI — Will the Bengals take Oregon offensive lineman Penei Sewell with the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft? The 20-year-old went through an extensive four stage workout, which was part of Eastbay's "CLOCKING:IN" web series. Thanks for sharing that with the group...really enjoyed it! I will be on pins and needles for the next month hoping Bengals management is smart enough to realize they are getting a second chance at redrafting Anthony Munoz' clone. Please, please don't fuck this up, Mike Brown. This is a generational, freak type athlete and likely one you'll never see again at the left tackle position. You can find a shiny toy wide receiver any year and every year...it happens, it has happened and it will happen. Players with Sewell's potential do not...they're extremely rare.

membengal Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 His arms are 1/2 an inch shorter than Jonah's. For what it's worth. I know there are those on here who think Jonah's arms are too short for T... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Here's my concern w/ the short arms thing - he's not a technician. At all. Not at this point in his development. He is all projection there. Joe Thomas overcame short arms from being a technician from the jump. Williams is a technician. That's...not Sewell. It is Slater. I am now firmly: Chase Tradedown Pitts as my only preferred options at 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to take Sewell, get another day 2 pick and take him or Slater. But I for sure don't have him clearly ahead of Slater now. In fact, Slater a safer pick given his being a better technician in terms of his shorter arm issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading down and still getting one of those 2 would be fantastic, but that also sounds like a lot more work and less instant hype injection than taking Chase and calling it a day Besides, there are plenty of OL in the rest of the draft & we all know Chase is the only WR to declare this year.

If someone take Slater and puts him at G he’ll be year one all-pro. I 100% believe that. His footwork and technical savvy put him on a different level. That said, the chances of him landing in Cincinnati are slim to none, so this is nothing but talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry pal, but you said there were "no dings whatsoever" on Chase, so IDK what this bullshit is other than a lame attempt to change the subject. We all know drafting a WR with one of the worst OL's in NFL history is what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
