And Emerson is a really good CB, too. Grant Delpit struggled early between poor play and injury but he’s really come on also. So they’ve drafted well, beyond the “premium” picks you cited. And up front, getting two good FAs in Dalvin Tomlinson and Za’Darius Smith was big also. Middle of second round. He was awesome at ND too. Steal.

Le Tigre Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 Weather for Sunday kickoff: 37. Winds 8 mph. No precip. The 1.5 inch snowfall will be Saturday between 6am and noon. Then nothing. Weather should not be a factor. Other than a bit too cold for my aging bones. No…I don’t even golf in this weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryker57 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 i am with the , if the player is not 90-100% healthy then you sit them crowd. it is time to learn what we can about this roster .. so lets see if this punter can handle the pressure. i would tell him if he under performs in anyway , he is getting cut. not were bringing in competition next year.. he is gone .. if he can handle that then maybe he can grow forward. the OL either steps up or we move on with them . i wouldnt be afraid to pull any of them to make a point and let them sit for a series or 2.

Le Tigre Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 TBF..I imagine no one on the roster is 90%-100% healthy. 17 games will do that. And with the “let’s see what we have” viewpoint…I reiterate: they should already know what the backups can do—very few haven’t played a decent amount already. The exception being constant inactives such as Smith and Carman. They are already known so well, they don’t need to be seen. And, if all of these backups haven’t played either with the starters or each other on a regular basis (rotations, etc), then one will not get an accurate read on how good/bad they are with limited snaps. Finally, for those sad souls who will be in attendance for this final game, the price ($$) we pay is worthy of the performers making a game of it. One expects the Chinese Fire Drill of a game in the last preseason game in August. This isn’t a preseason game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Hill had plenty of snaps last year, but not at Saftey, and now we are all having to hope he gets better next year. In game reps matter. The more you can give the young guys, the better they will be (hopefully) next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Bengal Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Bengals make roster moves before Week 18 vs. Browns Chris Roling Sat, Jan 6, 2024, 12:15 PM CST·1 min read The Cincinnati Bengals made a pair of roster moves ahead of the team’s Week 18 game against the Cleveland Browns. Seeking depth at key spots for the season finale, the team elevated cornerback Sidney Jones IV and wide receiver Stanley Morgan from the practice squad to the active roster. As standard elevations, both players will return to the practice squad on the Monday after the game. Cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Jalen Davis are questionable on the final injury report, so Jones reinforces that area. More significant is the fact wideout Tee Higgins carries a “doubtful” tag into the game, so Morgan is important depth behind the likes of rookie Andrei Iosivas. https://sports.yahoo.com/bengals-roster-moves-week-18-181542476.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're close and have to fill or keep primary pieces to get there. Blackburn women have to determine that. Much faith in them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
