Agree. This is the dawning of the age of Amarius!

Amarius Mims just had the first game of his NFL career with 0 pressures allowed.

It was the best game of his rookie career.

None of the Titans EDGEs that lined up over him got close to Burrow.

Here’s to many more games like this one for Mims.

Think he took one penalty, but an impressive day overall.

Mims was the best 1st RD rookie OT on the field today.

My favorite play of Mims today was the Sweat fumble return.

First off, the return by Sweat was awesome and I was amazed how well the big dude moved, but what was better is that Mims caught him and knocked him out of bounds. Sweat didn't look that big then

Someone on Twitter, wasn't, "bashing," him, but said that he gave up on the play that Burrow ran around to find... I think it was Chase Brown for the TD.

Watch it again: he didn't give up, he blocked his man (think it was Key) so far out of the play, that he would've needed John Ross speed to catch up to block him again and it was only close because Burrow essentially ran right into the path of the defender trying to get back in the play.

Unless a guy is unblocked, Joe basically hasn't had to worry about a LE rushing him for a long time this season.

It's great seeing Mims experiencing success. I hope the big dude holds down the position for a longtime and has good health.

Great!!

Hopefully there's some good that comes out of this shit show of a season.

We have our bookend tackles for the next 3 years and they should be above average pieces. The ceiling is really high.

Go out and get some replacement level guards in the off-season (FA is loaded with quality vets) and this OL can be a pretty good unit next year.

They have also found success running the ball as of late. Chase Brown is such a better fit for this offense.

I like to think they put Karras at guard and promote Matt Lee to C. which leaves a guard spot open

That is certainly one option.

What have we seen from Matt Lee that warrants him being locked in as the starting center next year?

Intriguing idea. Surprised so many are sold on our LT. I think the Chiefs made the right decision, and the Bengals over spent. Wow - how long will it be before I can type those 4 words again?

if Brown can play like he did in 23, it's a good pick up

The rest of the league knew it was Heineken. The Who Deys thought it was Pabst Blue Ribbon. It was Heineken - and we know how Frank Booth feels about Heineken.

he's doing fine, you know who was a good bust, Jackson Carman.
