I fear it will be Murphy. Highest expectations, and smallest chance to prove them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now all 8 made it onto a SB caliber roster. Pretty damn impressive no matter how you slice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like Dax Hill last year? As much as we all want the first-round pick to immediately make a big impact, this team is currently not set up that way…because of the positions that are typically picked high and the players that we already have in those positions. Not sure how long we can sustain that pattern. [My early hopes are for a can’t-miss RT in round 1 next year.] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Most are sleeping on Poison Ivey, but I think he's a true CB2, who on this stacked secondary team will have to play the Trey Flowers 'cover big TEs role' for now.

Even a moderate performance will net the “disappointing” albatross. I am thinking the punter might get the first downvotes. If he gets a few shanks/sub-50 yarders/no hang times—especially in the first few games, he might begin to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I'm a bit surprised Raymond Johnson III cleared waivers. His agent probably told him to hold off on the Bengals PS until he called around the league for a job on some other team's 53. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 I think Johnson III is gone now. If the Bengals had a plan to bring him in later they botched it, but maybe they never did. It's puzzling to me, as I'm not sure what else he could have possibly done to make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree but then I think we did this with Kendrick Pryor and Darius Hodges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Saw a report from Jay Morrison on X that Johnson is signing with the Detroit PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 The Lions can also protect Johnson from being poached by the Bengals, so it doesn't make sense that they would let him go there with the plan to later claim him from their PS. He's gone. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
