More like reading the D issues against experienced DCs like Lou Anurumo kinds...let us keep in mind he still doesn't have enough starts under his belt, we have to temper expectations.

Agreed Lou is no pushover DC. He’s one of the best in the league.

Teams are just going to play the run against AR and JT crowding the box and our pass catchers are going to have to win a lot of 1-on-1s for teams to change the way they play us. That is how I see it play out in the beginning till AR and the pass catchers make enough big plays for the safeties to back off.

Man I actually hope so! We have legit WR weapons now I think (hoping AD is as advertised) and if they play the run like your saying, we will kill them in passing game.

Yeah, that probably means he's on IR to start the season, at the very least. Which solves the roster decisions at TE (mostly), and puts him even further behind the rest of the room with this new staff. That sucks. He's very gifted, but he can't help the team if he's not on the field.

I’ve said all off season long that AR will be just like a rookie QB, he’s gonna have his ups and downs

From that earlier tweet: Geno Stone after a Richardson incompletion: “He only throws to spots. He doesn’t throw to his receivers.”

 

That's a compliment, IMO.

I noticed Anthony talking with Shane a lot today. I think this is all according to plan in his development.

This one really, truly bums me out more than I can properly articulate. When we drafted him, I legitimately believed we unearthed a diamond in the rough. I was convinced he would be the next coming of Gronk, while being bigger, faster, and stronger. 
 

Football is a physical sport. All it takes is one play to end a career. Not saying he couldn’t conceivably come back from this; however, it’s really not looking good. It’s always 2 steps forward, 3 steps back for him. 
 

I thought this season could have been his coming out party. I truly feel for this young man. All of the physical gifts in the world… Like Dungy always said, “the greatest ability is availability…” Truly devastating to hear this.

Why is he done as a Colt?  He’s got another year on his contract at a low cap hit and 2 TE’s will be free agents .

Let’s try to remember everyone: this is a Bengals team with legit Super Bowl aspirations, with several key players who know this is most likely their final season together. 
 

We’re not there yet. 

I agree.

 

Bengals are one of the top 2 teams in the AFC only behind the Chiefs. 

 

Colts are trying to break in to the top 7.

 

This practice is a good measuring stick for the Colts and it says AR has a way to go to measure up to Burrow

I'm sorry. I'm just not the type to care about how we look in practice. I wait til the real games.

Some on here throw in the towel for the season after a bad practice or even a bad play or two in practice. It's laughable.

I think we panic too quickly here on this board.  We come out with some duds early in the season and we’ll know our team may be in trouble.  Until then, we’ll have good days and bad days, and pre-season still means exactly nothing.  

It's the same few....every year.

For as much meds as people have talked about the D and the secondary this has pretty much been the story of preseason. The offense didn't look good, but the D did.

Zach Taylor just said the Bengals starters will NOT be playing Thursday. 
 

Something odd I noticed: Burrow kept putting on a glove between snaps, then took it off to throw, and put it back on again. 


If our #1’s don’t show out against their 2’s, this forum is going to blow up!

God help us all if that’s the case. We’ll get yet another Lennymoore troll post I’m sure.

Most inexperienced starting qb in NFL looks bad today. Big shock. He needed to play a lot more the last two games but admittedly Steichen’s offense puts AR at high risk of injury. But he needs experience more than protection.

    • You probably think Frank Kush or Bill Tobin was a better hire than Shane.
    • Here's two interesting names. Both are up and coming coaches, which I think would be the target if the Colts were looking for a new DC.   1. Glenn Schumann Georgia co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann: Schumann interviewed with the Eagles before Desai got the job in 2023. Schumann is 32 years old and when Kirby moved to Georgia for the HC job he made sure Schumann went with him as a LB coach. He has been calling plays for since Dan Lanning took the Oregon job. Him interviewing for the Eagles indicates he may be looking for an NFL transition. Heres a quote about him   2. Chiefs' Brendan Daly Linebacker coach: Recently moved from DL coach to Linebacker coach after the LB coach left. He previously was defensive line coach and run-game coordinator from 2019-21 for the chiefs and DL coach for the Patriots from 2014-2018. He has been coaching since 2006 primarily under Belichick He approached Reid about the move to LB coach because he wanted a challenge, with Spags solidified as DC he may be looking for the next step as DC outside of KC. Downside is he hasn't called plays so he would need a clear vision of the defense during interviews yet with his history of working with elite defensive coaches Belichick and Spagnuolo. They clearly like something about him and may be looking for his opportunity.   Now I'm sure as the season goes on there will be other names slowly added to this list.
