Positive notebook


Rackeen305

Recommended Posts

Defense- As I watch the Bengals preseason game #4 unlike previous years of vanilla plays, One positive note is that we are dialing sensible blitzes and forcing Bengals to check down to the number 2,3, or 4th receiver options, or forcing them to kill the play. Earl Okine is playing lights-out.

 

Offense- QB Morris is outplaying QB Tolzin. Morris's Pocket presence (stepping up in the pocket) resembles a veteran QB. Also, Morris is putting heat on the ball. WR Chester Rodgers made great catches and run after catch plays.

 

Another important thing of note is that we are finally tackling. Years prior, we would give up YAC (Yards after contact) by the opponents RB.

Gotta love Stephan Morris

Rogers, Tevaun Smith and MeKale McKay nice group of rookie WRs

 

MLB Morrison looks great

 

3rd sting O-line seems ok.

OT's:  67 Vujnovich and 79 Van Dyk did solid job all preseason.

C/G 63 Austin Blythe, G 65 Kitt O'Brien and G 61 Adam Redmond

 

38 Lee Hightower over Winston Guy at backup S

46 Frankie Williams best of the healthy CBs

 

Todman over Ridley

Except cornerback Christopher Milton, #40. Needs a lot of work on his techniques (with another team). Maybe he didn't get the memo.

You guys notice on the play Maggitt got the FF. Thompson, Bates and Maggitt on the field at the sametime. Bates was playing mlb with Edwin.

Yes I saw that.  They had been saying they were going to have him play ILB as well.

    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
