  1. Cleveland has shown he can play well when given the chance to play. His issue has always been practice and that, largely because of personal issues he seems to have overcome.

    He can play guard or center, and do so adequately.

    Vinson is not a beast but he will do in a pinch, finish a game maybe start 1 or 2. Same for Noteboom.

    Bullock has shown promise at center, he is a little better power blocker, a bit weak in pass blocking right now, but I expect him to get better. I also would not be surprised to see him supplant our current center next year if Lindy prices him self off of the roster.

  2. True, the experienced depth on the line is not great, shoot, even most of the starters are young, very young. But there are 8, 9 guys who are solid, some are very good at run blocking, others at pass blocking. Time, playing time is needed for them to round out as it were.

    But I don't think it is as bleak as some think. Sure, Mekari, the Swiss army knife is gone, but he will really all they had the past few years.

    Now they have a few at each position.

  3. Doesn't take much to make a camper happy

    After months of talks, Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati Bengals are finally approaching a deal. The Bengals and Hendrickson have reportedly agreed to a $14 million raise on his existing contract, per multiple reports.

    The agreement ends a months-long saga that resulted in multiple trade explorations and a hold-in from Hendrickson. The star defensive end will now stay with Cincinnati through the 2025 season.

    Hendrickson is on the final year of his contract, and was set to make $15.8 million in base salary. The new agreement will boost his salary next year to $30 million, making him one of the highest-paid defenders in 2025

  4. Really? Despite having open receivers? even when his pocket time was limited? Or just moving the runningback to the other side, where there is not another reciever going into the flat? A safety valve as it were?

    Not drifting in the pocket, taking away blocking angles for the linemen?

    These are simple things, that don't rely on the skill of the other players and would get first downs, show improvement, on his part.

    These are the very things, and other issues, that had him rated as a 5th round qb.

  5. He did enough, checked out when needed, let everyone else show what they have.

    But his arm is what the team needs, that pick in the endzone Johnson through was simply because he could throw it hard enough, which gave Graham time to undercut the throw.

    You can win games with qbs like him and even Huntley as backups.

    If Lamar goes down for 2 or 3 games, you need someone who can win 1 of 2 or 2 of 3. Neither Huntely nor Johnson can realistically do that, teams would just go man and put 8, 9 in the box to stop the run.

    The Commandos did that in the 2nd quarter and even 3rd to try and slow down the run, and Rush best them with his arm enough times to back them off.

    One injury that we know of, solid play all the way around..

    Tuesday is cut down day to 53, plus 16 on practice squad and any players "hurt" who can go on ir but be recalled this year, up to 8, yet must miss 4 games.

    Pass in the endzone on an incut route, ball is too slow, Graham is able to under cut the route and pick it off! That is what happens when you have an old arm, the ball just does not get there fast enough
