Early nomination for funniest moment of the 2017 season.

Quote:We called him out on that on Beyond The Stripes the next day and basically said the same thing, that in-game adjustments are not as prevalent and/or important as “we” would like to think they are.

How many points did the Bengals offense score in the 4th quarter this year?

Jimbo Fisher has made some really stupid comments in the past (defending stupid player behavior), but he can make some halftime adjustments.



What are your plans for the Senior Bowl and the combine?  Can you give us some insight into who scouts the NFL free agents to target in the off season?  When do they begin that process?  Do they have someone dedicated to evaluate potential FAs during the season?  Or is it something they start after the season ends?  The coaches are just getting into evaluating the draft eligible players.  Are they working on evaluating NFL FAs, also?  Then communicates who they like to the front office?  Or does the front office do the heavy lifting with the NFL FAs?  If the coaches are traveling to college pro days to scout the draft eligible college players, who is in Cincinnati working out the NFL FAs?  Sometimes it seems like there is a disconnect between the coaches and the front office when it comes to free agency.  Thanks.

Any insight on developing anonymous team sources.  IMO, Adam Schefter is good at it.  Is it trust?  Is it network resources ($$$ for the story)?  Combination of both?  Noticed any differences between team's approach to the media.
