September 19, 20222 yr comment_1679919 The frustrating thing is, as bad as we've played, we were like one play away from winning both games. Of course that's how football often is. but we weren't blown out although we could have been.

Now if we just didn't have to play quarters 1, 2, and 3.

Even last year they would lose to the Jets and Bears, but then rise up and beat the Chiefs twice. They seem to match the competition level - either up or down.
September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679927 As strange as it sounds, it may be a disadvantage for them to be playing easy teams. They don't come in prepared or can't get up enough for the game. Or something ... 🥴
September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679931 The Bengals come out against opponents perceived to be easier, like a Michigan team playing Middle Tennessee State for homecoming. They just expect their superior talent to be enough. Then after it isn't for the first half, they start to take the game seriously and come back.

How many Bengal linemen ,under Pollack, have shown great improvement? Hell, how many have shown any?

He was another guy that was missing during OTAs and just kind of doing his own thing in the off-season. Hopefully it isn't going to take several weeks to get all the Bengals players ready for the season. I'll take 2-2 ... But don't think they can dig out of 0-4.

September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679938 Does Samaje have compromising photos of Mike Brown or something? Or is he just in there on 3rd down because he's a better blocker than all of the OL except Karras

Spain came out of the blocks like a pro bowler but faded. At this early point they are worse.. Horrid really.. The hope is Volson improves and Collins starts to gear up..
September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679940 Is it simply bad luck that the Bengals get Watt and Parsons in back to back weeks (and the OL will look better against non HOFs) ??? ...
September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679941 - Didn't have time ? ... - This is him telling Zac to throw him the damn ball deep ...
September 19, 20222 yr Author comment_1679942 Where's that explosiveness we were promised? Then again it requires at least touching Micah Parsons when he's running past you around the edge ...

Does he have assts that target those areas. I always wonder where this narrative comes from. Who said he’s “respected”, Hobson? his resume says differently. He took over for Bill Callahan in Dallas and the offensive line got progressively worse until he was fired. Then he comes to the Bengals under Bill Lazor. They draft Billy Price. Bengals have success running the ball, but still are horrible in pass protection. Marvin is fired. Pollack goes to the Jets under Gase. He drafts Mekhi Becton. Gase’s Jets tenure is a dumpster fire and the entire staff gets canned after two seasons. Pollack comes back to the Bengals. Gets promoted to “Run Game Coordinator”. He drafts Jackson Carman. Bengals offense line becomes national laughing stock on their way to the Super Bowl. Over the 1+ years as run game coordinator, he presides over a unit that has been bottom five in the NFL in run success rate. what am I missing other than parroting narratives from lazy journalists?
