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.

    • Last year at end of season I posted on here. Same ole same ole.  And that is what this is.  Same ole.  Same ole.  Same ole crap every single year.  One common denominator.  Chris Ballard.  We have changed coaches, QBs, Defensive lines, Offensive lines, assistant coaches, kickers, and the results are all teh same.  A horrible start to teh season.  A run in the middle to get fans hopes up and then losses at the end of the season.  That is literally the playbook under Chris Ballard.  An absolute horrible and I mean horrible GM.  But not as bad as our owner.  He is so full of pills he can't even think straight or walk.  he is a disgrace and this football team looks just like he does.  A disgrace.
    • this has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've seen on this forum in a very long time hahahahah
    • AR was not great at "quarterbacking" in college, but had glimpses of a high ceiling.  By all accounts, he was always going to take more time to transition to an NFL QB.   I think not having anybody on the roster that could play forced Ballard into having his developmental guy be his starter,   He could not afford to lose this particular potential franchise guy where a less "desperate" situation would allow him to pick a Will Levis in the second or a Jacob Eason in the eth...both of whom also had all of the physical tools but lacked some critical element that needs developing.   Cowherd has been making a point that all of these young QBs that are being forced to start, not Stroud, are all playing really badly.  Ideally, you have a vet starter while the young guy sits, but it seems the FOs need these guys to hit right away.  I would call that desperate, but maybe that's too strong of a word.
    • i honestly think this might have been ballard's worst offseason when you sum it all up. the cut draft picks, resigning aging players who seem to be underperforming early on.  & the proof is in the pudding. Cross leads the NFL in tackles ( or did after the sunday slate, not sure if someone took his spot yet) not only is that ironic he's our best tackler, but the fact he's leading over our LB's goes to show the decline of Speed and Franklin IMO both have seen their best football
    • Hey, we had a great game plan.  The other team chose not to live up to our expectations.   It takes two to tangle.
