Zac has told Joe to take a day off each week...this might be an ongoing thing all season

Last year was a down year for the program with some turmoil on that side of the ball but Fig showed up and played every single day. I think he's going to have some impact plays for the Bengals this year. So glad we drafted him.
I appreciate you sharing some insight. Let's hope he turns out to be a important player for the defense.

Yeah he was mocked as a top 50 player before the season. He's doesn't have elite measurables and I think only ran a 4.51 at the combine at 5'11", but he has high end instincts and is a very physical corner. Could be a really good slot corner for us over the next few years.
The Bengals have always been friendly to TCU players going back to Matt Schobel. Which speaking of, the Schobel clan (Matt, Aaron, and Bo who all 3 played in the NFL) have sons who are starting to play D1 ball.
Different time alright.
Yeah, Fig isn't a freak athlete and that is why he fell most likely and that is fine. We needed an instinctive Corner. We have freak athletes
in CTB, DJ Turner and Daxton Hill. Forgot about Matt Schobel, that was a while back. Of course Dalton was another Horned Frog and we
had an OL on the team that also played there, Newhouse I think...

As I said.
People need to chill TF out.
Yes, Burrow should have a rest day once a week. Dude has been going all out from the vids and from what people have been saying.
He is ahead of where I thought he would be at this time.

Correct. We already know he'll experience success when on the field. I see no issue at all letting the star QB have an off day from time to time.

Lots of 'ledge jumpers' around here.

IRT JB missing time.
It's not like folks don't have a history leading them to think the worst.
Glad it's nothing, but let's be real.
RE: OTAs - Sled21 - 06-04-2024
FFS Zac probably wants to give Browning a day with some of the starters. Drama drama drama....

No problem. I'm a wanna be college defensive backs coach masquerading as a small business owner in Texas. So I know jussttt enough to get in trouble.
I pray that once my son is old enough he is attracted to football and the defensive side of the ball. His mom was an AA Soccer player at a B12 school so I'm hoping he got her genes. lol.
RE: OTAs - tms - 06-04-2024
At first I thought this was common sense, obviously he needs days off, etc. But the more I hear the beat guys talk about it and Zac deny deny deny, the more worried I get that there might be something there. Zac's got a little snake oil to him and would they really be pressing him this much if it were just common sense? Maybe they would, I dunno. Fear mongering's a thing these days. Getting clicks in the first week of June can't be easy. Just saying...
Long story short: I can't wait for the season. The pbp of this injury will become unbearable lol

I'm pretty sure it's alot of nothing about nothing.
RE: OTAs - Nicomo Cosca - 06-05-2024
Burrow said he needs to do a better job at listening to his body. That’s all it is. No need to push it too much in June.

Yeah you're probably right. It's so easy to get carried away when there's no other news.

Yea but changing up Defensive Coordinators can do that in year one. Andy Avalos came from Boise State to replace Gillespie right?
RE: OTAs - jj22 - 06-05-2024
Joe Burrow did NOT throw in today's Bengals OTA practice.
— Goodberry (@JoeGoodberry) June 5, 2024
Yesterday, Head Coach Zac Taylor said the QB would practice today.
Zac Taylor also said they have given Burrow a rest day every week, but not back-to-back days of rest. Today would break that trend.

It will almost assuredly fall on deaf ears, but he’s 100% right.

Having keenly observed (beer (whiskey) goggles) Burrow's play the last four years (balls out 110%). It's obvious doing a little to help protect him from himself might be a good idea.
But having said that.

Zac even said he's having to protect Joe from Joe. Isn't that what he got roasted for NOT doing last year?
