We move back to the offensive side of the ball for our next ranking, and we focus on the Interior Offensive Line. Things have definitely gotten better over the last couple years, but by how much? Rank Cordell-Karras-Cappa (Block CKC) against the rest of the league to find out.

We drafted two wrs this year who I think could be contributors. This guy as a fifth/fourth option would be stellar with talent to step up during injuries.

Not so fearless forecast

1. Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai give our depth and pass rush a solid boost with a combined 8 sacks or more
2. Irv Smith has more TD’s and higher YPC than Hurst
3. Cordell Volson’s final PFF grade not the lowest on the starting line
4. CTB leads the team in INT
5. Charlie Jones proves to be the best returner in years
6. Trayveon Williams has the second most touches of the RB’s.
7. Joe Burrow leads the league in Passing TD’s
8. JaMar and Tee both have 10 or more TD catches
9. Joe Mixon avg. 4.5 ypc
10. Cincy Offense finishes top 3 in both scoring and PPP.

The teams final season record 13-4.

If Saquon Barkley never gets that long term contract from the Giants should we have him on the radar? Let’s pretend Saquon’s legal team is asking for 3yr/45M, with 22M guaranteed. So around 15M per year average.

Let’s say he has a healthy, career year and is regarded as a top 3 RB.


What players would you let go to have Barkley next offseason? Only rule is you can’t cut someone who is a free agent next offseason. So no saying just let Irv walk. Can’t cut someone you don’t have the rights to.

So please correct me if I’m wrong but when you sign contracts with signing bonuses doesn’t the team have to have the bonus money in the bank? So if Barkley gets 3yr/45M with 22M guaranteed don’t we have to have 22M plus what his bases alert would end up being? (Around 7.5M)? So if that was the hypothetical contract wouldn’t we have to have at minimum 30M on hand to give him? Once again i don’t know so please correct me if I’m wrong. Don’t have to be a dick about it.



So under my scenario we have to shave off 30M from existing players. I don’t have info on cap hits and penalties so sorry but i have to make this list as if cutting someone cleanly takes them off your cap numbers with no penalties.



La’el Collins, Mixon and BJ Hill would be around 30M right there, with a possible Nick Scott cut if we wanted to shave off 3 more million.



This pictured as a theoretical trade would be Mixon, Hill and Collins for Saquon Barkley. Starting RB, backup RT and rotation DT.


Would that be too much? Is that simply too many rotational guys to sacrifice for one guy? Who views this as a good deal?
Keep in mind we don’t really have solid replacements for Hill or Collins yet. So those would create draft holes.

Would anyone be interested in a subforum on this site dedicated to Bengals Sports Cards & Collectibles or maybe just collectibles in general? Sports cards, auto'd items, game worn, unique stuff that people have collected over the years could be really fun for us all to share, see, discuss, etc.

- I would prefer to see either a dedicated Sticky'd thread or it's own permanent section or a Forum area with sub forum topics rather than just a huge thread that moves around and gets lost.

Not sure if anyone else is into that kind of thing or would enjoy posting their stuff, what they find, where they found it, their Bengals rooms, etc.? If so, perhaps the powers that be would consider adding a permanent section to the forum for this kind of chat.

- I would recommend NOT allowing people to openly offer sales or to buy stuff on the forum - ebay handles or whatever would prob be fine. I think there should be a rule against that just to stop bad actors or bad sellers/buyers.

Just a request/suggestion. I started a small sports card/comic book Ebay business as a side thing durring COVID and this industry is VERY POPULAR and continues to be. My main businesses are Home Theater/Automation & building AirBnB vaction properties, but I LOVE the sports card & memorabilia stuff.

I would be happy to moderate a forum like that - and also keep my business completely out of it unless a sponsorship comes available - if someone is needed to do so. I only sell via Ebay and not looking to do so elsewhere. However, I do think I could add a lot of insight & advice for people who enjoy collecting, buying, selling and I'm sure others on here could as well.

If a Forum topic like that becomes popular with activity I do see possible marketing or business opportunity there for the Forum to add revenue via advertisement, sponsorinig, etc.

Anyway, would love to have others chime in on if they would praticipate in a section or subforum for this topic!

I just came across this in one of the ubiquitous new threads that is attached to my work browser:
     https://www.stadiumtalk.com/s/best-nfl-stadiums-ranked-f79c74a3721048dc?utm_source=msn    

I was surprised to see Paycor rated this high, but suspect some local prejudice involved in the news thread.

Personally I love our stadium.   I've been 10 rows from the field and at the top of the nose bleeds (a little too high for my liking), but I love the views - especially of the river.   It is one of my favorite places to be.

I don't get out much, so I've not been to a single other NFL stadium.  There are several I'd love to go to:  Lambeau, Gillette, Jerry World, Soldier Field and San Francisco's stadium.   But won't happen till I'm retired.  And I'm afraid I'll be both too poor and too infirm to go.

But I'd love to get an idea which are the favorite stadiums more cosmopolitan members of the board who have been out there and sampled some

Till Training Camp starts and football is back!! Anyone going camping?
