If he changed his first name to Justin I bet you would like him.

"We'll see where it goes. Take it day-by-day." Zac Taylor on Amarius Mims... same on Chase Brown, Orlando Brown Jr. "We'll see on the whole team." Taylor says partly tongue-in-cheek. "We'll see also the answer on Evan McPherson.

only a walk thru today. I don't like seeing Drew Sample as a DNP since he is a massive piece of the blocking schemes

No doubt, we need all blockers on board for sure!  The key to this game will be Joe's protection.

Drew Sample is dressed for practice today

Chase Brown is missing

I seriously doubt Brown plays. Way to go, Zac!

idk how chase not sliding/taking a knee properly is zac's fault

EVERYTHING negative is Zac's fault

Because he gave the order to not score. Never mind that Burrow ran it in on the ensuing play. So, yes a very stupid call by Zac Taylor. Get your RB injured and take no time off the clock...

Look, dude, once we knew we didn't want to score, we should have been kneeling. Not kneeling puts fumble, penalty, and injury in play. 

It's dumb and unnecessarily risky. Period. 

No, everything negative isn't Zac's fault. But this definitely was. 100% unnecessary. 

Answer me this, Frank. And ANSWER it, or be revealed for trolling, what is the point of the hand-off if we don't want to score?

The 2nd one I don't have a problem with. Denver would have had the ball back eith about a minute down 3 if we don't try for a TD.

Not everyone here dislikes Zac as much as the rest of us. Burrow has carried Zac's career here. Zac seems like he's got Marvin ball in him too, doesn't know how to extend a lead. Does a lot of scoreboard watching and doesn't have the play calls to execute that.

Well I guess dressing for practice is as far as Drew Sample got today.  With a one-legged O. Brown and a one-armed Mims hopefully both playing on Saturday, it would be nice to have Drew Sample's blocking ability out there helping them.

It's worse than I thought.

ZDS - Zac derangement syndrome

Speaking of Zac, the latest episode of Hard Knocks had a scene where he talks about being in a group chat with a bunch of random old ladies.

Someone just tell me if Cam Heyward is playing or not. He's easily the most important player that's possibly not going to play this week.

We needed to score.  Zac didn't trust the defense, justifiably, so he wanted to force Denver to burn their final timeout.  Seriously, the game was tied at 17 at that point.  What makes anyone think they were just going to kneel out the clock without their top K?

It's also possible that it was a decision Brown made on his own, thinking it was a "smart" play.  

The decision to have Joe punch it in on 2nd down could also have been influenced by the fact that Brown went down and the trust wasn't there with Herbert or Williams to punch it in.

Chase Brown is missing

He can earn his first MVP as a Bengal if he shuts down TWATT
Which is how they need to use him ALL DAY LONG !!!
Stop TWATT and JB will light them up
