We actually do pretty good job holding him in check. Our problems tend more to be giving up explosive plays to relatively unknown players.

Well, they do have a QB that is pretty good at extending plays, and finding 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th target options. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

At least we wouldn’t have to watch his cringeworthy celebrations.
Doubt it’d be enough to help us win though.

Just means more touches for Bell which will probably end up with another stiff-arm of Dre Kirkpatrick.

I'm more worried about their run game and how they constantly seem to rush 30+ times for well over 100 yards. Ben has a career 86.4 rating against us, with 27 INTs. He rarely kills us. It's the run game that wears our defense down, THEN you see Ben take some shots.
If we can run successfully, and hold them under 100 yards rushing, we can win. We rarely do that though. As for Brown, keep in mind they have Bryant back, so having him and Juju will help ease that blow.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

I think this is all tactics. I fully expect Brown, Mitchell and all those to play.

I LOVED Calvin Pryor coming out of Louisville. I wanted him to be a Bengal so badly. I’d definitely celebrate if we signed him, but the past year of his pro career certainly makes you wonder if he’s NFL material.

Wouldn't be the first time. Zimmer snatched Reggie Nelson up from the Jags, as he looked like a bust, and then turned him into an All-Pro level player.

Pryor wasn't any good with the Jets either, and the Jags are a much better run organization now compared to when we traded for Reggie...

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not familiar with him enough to even know that the Jags were the second team that he's been with.

Wait, has the league already suspended Burfict for this mystery AB episode? If not someone at NFLHQ will be unemployed by Tuesday..
I suspect it's just some nonsense put out so the announcers can slobber all over the phrase, WHAT AN AMAZING CATCH with a TOE INJURY! Which will seque into Rottenbooger's AMAZING comeback with 3 broken legs to throw the 110 yard winning hail Mary TD pass with 1 second left on the clock...not that I might think anything shady would be going on.. Why, why THAT might seem unethicalish..n stuff..

Well Brown might not be able to go, but AJ might not be full strength either due to illness. Figures...
