I was getting caught up on this one a though "What the Hell are you talking about, this is a Deshaun Watson thread". I then backed out of the thread and saw it was a Jessie bates thread.

I think anyone who is wondering why we aren’t pulling the trigger on that 70+ million dollar deal needs to watch this and take note of what you DONT see. Because best believe they Bengals are doing this. Nice post Housh. Well done getting this thread back on track too.

Completely agree and I think you rightly point out later that the Bengals have focused on getting solid players who make plays without placing excessive weight on highlight-reel plays. HOWEVER, (sorry...venturing off topic a little... but you started it by mentioning Polamalu ) sometimes highlight-reel plays supersede everything else when it's against an opponent we despise... and you have to bring up Polamalu. For me, Peko's goal-line destruction of him kind of eliminates all my bad memories of when he hurt us. Hey, I'm a glass-half-full guy, lol. Check out this interview of Polamalu by a Steeler network talking about the hit (starts at 1:22): https://youtu.be/DqY2tPkxV6g?t=82 Always kinda liked the guy in spite of his shampoo commercials (probably due to personal issues I have at watching my own hair go down the drain ) |
