UncleEarl Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 4 minutes ago, T-Dub said: The organization is pushing way too hard with him. Just let him play football, he doesn't need to be Superman or cure cancer. It's like they're in full damage control spin mode over what turned out to be nothing. Suspect the whole unresolved Nerf War incident may have them shook. That one's not just some road rage accusation, a kid actually got shot. Felonious brother in law blasting away in Joe's back yard with an AK he should've never had access to is going to be a lot harder to excuse. Said it before but even without any legal consequences it raises the question of WTF made them react that way. Either way I think they'd be better off not putting the spotlight on him right now. Agree about the spotlight, but if the press asks to talk to Mixon the Bengals or Mixon can't say no over and over again. Also, I don't think there will be any "legal" consequences for Mixon over the shooting unless discovery finds some new evidence. There definitely will be financial consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I forgot that Joe has run behind our OBJ before in college. Interested to see if that helps him have a bounce-back year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let him talk about football then, they don't need to go all in with the "Wow what a super-great guy and definitely not mixed up in anything shady on his way to delivering toys to orphans heh heh" stuff. They're doing too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rock Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Unless that woman blocked his vehicle with her's, he still participated in a pointless confrontation started by a middle finger. At best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I still don't like the guy at all. Sorry if you agree to disagree. Won't happen but I would like to see the Bengals trade Jackson Carman to KC for Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Both seem to be underachieving and on the bubble to one degree or another, probably both let go when their contracts run out but why not give them both a fresh start with a new team for a year? Edwards-Helaire back with Joe and Ja'Marr would probably motivate him a lot more. No , btw. Chris Evans to practice squad and see how things sort themselves out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we trade Carmen he'll be an all pro especially to the chiefs no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to put what's supposedly our best blocking RB on the PS and trade away the only halfway capable backup LT? I think Mixon is a head case and probably washed too but I can't agree with that plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I All good so long as he plays like the RB1 & stays out of trouble. We'll see how much they love Smiley Joe when another back starts to outperform him.

Although Zac was a Husker as a player, he grew up in Oklahoma as a Sooners fan and I think that may cloud his appreciation for Mixon. He also likes to bring in Sooners (Perine, OBJ Jr etc).
