November 10, 20231 yr comment_1724213 Linebacker Logan Wilson is the only Bengals player who has played in all 517 defensive snaps this season. Dax Hill is next at 514 snaps. Hubbard leads all Bengals d-linemen at 406 snaps.

Ideally you get him for 3-4 mill but there is salary inflation at the moment and someone is going to offer him more than that if he reaches Free Agency. Hurst got 7 and he isn't top 10 in any particular skill.
November 10, 20231 yr comment_1724221 ^ Drew Sample is the perfect example of why I hate 1 year deals. As they could have easily signed him to a 3 year deal this off season at 2 million a year. Now they will have to pay more as he stepped his game up in a big way. He's only making 1.2 million for this season, a huge bargain - but he's going to cash in next time.

No one has said he's the best blocking TE overall, although he certainly is the best among the Bengals TE group.

Other teams overpay for average players on good teams all the time (see Hayden Hurst / CJ Uzomah, who Sample has the same number of touchdowns as in 2023).

No one is beating down any doors for this guy - servicable veteran. Blocking TE's are not exactly where you want to put cap money.

Ended up back in Cincinnati with a contract offer when the draft didn't go their way when it came to the TE position.

And…for additional value…he has arguably the nicest-looking family members in attendance in lower section 104. Parents are tall/blonde/Nordic…sisters/girlfriend (spouse) tall/blonde/Nordic. Very friendly folks too. Although the girlfriend/spouse and a really drunk yo-yo had some words earlier in the year. I think he was trying to hit on her, but was insulting Drew at the same time. Bet he’s an ace in the bars.

I hope we are lucky all way to Super Bowl win. The higher you get the more naysayers along the way. Bengals touch alot of pases that wind up in our hands because of their awareness.. Fumbles do to hard hits or punchouts make it happen..
November 11, 20231 yr comment_1724231 Guys like Ed Reed, Charles & Rod Woodson were just lucky with turnovers.
November 11, 20231 yr comment_1724232 I am hoping stroud tries that throw back across defense like purdy did twice. Dax does a pick 6 like Ed reed.

Stroud doesn't make mistakes in passing much. He throws to his safest receiver.. Lou has to make sure it's the receiver of least resistance on drives.. Pressure on CJ to make mistakes us imperative That's where Lou's bag of tricks will be Strouds downfall Sunday..

November 12, 20231 yr comment_1724284 This has to be a particularly frustrating call for Volson. The play wasn’t flagged. The play was chippy all the way around as Hyde joined the pile, tackling Joe Mixon after the whistle himself. The Bills did have a number of players do the same thing or slam players to the ground out of bounds. (***thought I saw some of this at the game... Bills piling on..hsh) Sometimes, as a team dealing with that, you have to sort of answer the call without going over the edge. Volson did so by trying to insinuate to Hyde he should stay off finished piles. *** At least he got his money's worth.
November 12, 20231 yr comment_1724289 It does look kind of head to head to me and I wonder why it wasn’t flagged but fined after the fact. But we’ve all been criticizing Volson for not being physical enough. 😜
November 12, 20231 yr comment_1724298 Off topic - in the CFL my home team, Winnipeg Blue Bombers are now headed for their fourth straight Grey Cup. They have won two of the last three and are lead by former Bearcat Zach Collaros - who just set a new CFL record for being the starting QB in 4 straight Grey Cups.
