“I think when Ted talks in his sleep at night he talks about fronts, front identifications, front remikes I just love it it’s the best.

Dude, eats, drinks and even sleeps football lol

I just hope that he and the other 1st teamers got enough time and reps together to make a fair showing on Sunday.

Becoming Captain on this Bengals squad says a lot about the great teammate he already has become.

Worried somewhat as well but keep telling myself that the coaches and players know this and put in extra work.

Even if Karras winds up being a bust for us, the guy is going to be a coach at some point. His interviews on all of the Bengals podcasts I've listened to have shown that he has a high football IQ.

Another coach’s kid and 3rd generation NFL player. Trey Hopkins is a smart dude but from everything we’re hearing, Ted’s football IQ is off the chart. Combine that with Joe’s and we have a potentially lethal QB/C combo.

Both Karras and Cappa blocked for Brady, so they know what is expected with Burrow, which is nothing short of excellence.

better than eating Glass i think

I think this kind of thing is where grades and even stats don’t tell the whole story. Especially for positions like centre, QB etc.

You don’t know how many times having a player like Karras calling the line, making adjustments, assignments etc could affect the successs of the line as a whole. Hopkins had periods where he played to similar level to karras grades but I don’t think he ever struck me as having this level of football knowledge which could stabilise and bring the performance up of those around him. Especially any rookies and the fact we have new starters
