I don't think there was an offensive lineman at the top of Round 1 worthy of being selected there, but I did want one in Rd 2. We certainly got pass rushers in Willis and Lawson, plus Smith in FA.And we shouldn't lose any enthusiasm either. Yes it was only 1 play but that sweep Sunday showed his speed. He turned on the jets going around the end to get outside of the Skin's #1 defense. Only to get tackled out of bounds, which should have been penalty.... just saying lol.
The Bengals took a long time to get over the "Peter Warrick was solid but not a game changer at #4 overall because he wasn't a big WR" mantra for a long time. Just like their fascination with bigger, longer DEs. They finally went with guys with speed and some bend and WOW, the entire front four looks unbelievable (when they are in the game).
I think we will see the exact same impact from Ross on the offense. I haven't lost a shred of my enthusiasm for him.
Also Howard is not a blocker, everybody falls in love with Bama players.
