As a Bama guy I watch pretty much all of Sagan’s stuff, he always gives ton of credit to opponents and I’ve never heard him be so tepid on another player. He had no idea why the guy only played a few series…was it conditioning? Injury? Getting beat? None of those are good especially injury. If you only start one season and miss 30% of the games, at his size, you are injury prone.
Also, Beck was only sacked 11 times on the year so not allowing one in about 65% of the snaps isn’t a major accomplishment
I can understand that but Smart loves him and if he bailed on them he wouldn’t. Until you walk in these kids shoes…. Many just haven’t come from much. But the message board geniuses (not you) give the team credit for due diligence. I’m completely confident that they vetted him in interviews and Georgia about his coming out as well as why he didn’t play more. First pick is so important you just don’t mess around. But I completely agree that Mims has a huge risk/reward scenario. If it had been me I’d have moved up to take Murphy or picked Brian Thomas at 18. But I also think taking a tackle was prudent. I just liked Fuaga. Again I’d have moved up but doesn’t appear that was easy to do. The thought process that OL guys can’t be found out of the first round is stupid. The trick is drafting more of them and increasing your odds. The Bengals unfortunately haven’t been successful drafting the OL.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
