49 looks good, so it would be nice for him to get more than one catch in pre-season
I hope he stays long enough on our roster that it makes sense to get this shirt, I got the Viking one when I saw the first game at US Bank stadium, but well he was not active that day

Saw Phillips had what looked to be an int and potential return for 6.

Will be disappointed if he doesn’t make the regular season roster. Something special about him.

Yeah it was the Dolphins and Ronnie Brown. Smashed the Pats using Wildcats, then made it a big part of their offense.

As far a trick plays, I like them, but remember when the Steelers used to kill us with a new trick play almost every time we faced them?

I would be excited to see a return of counters and traps as a regular thing in the rushing attack.  Even if you have the best straight ahead blockers, the guys across the line are professionals just the same.  Gotta always have something else to go to, when the regular get's stalemated.

Yep, make adjustments appropriately.

Hopefully Lazor can do this. Seems to have the players for it. Watched some highlights of Quinton Flowers.

I think he makes the team with his versatility and natural ability to watch a play develop. Could see us using him
in our new run pass option Offense at times with Dalton lining up at Receiver. Andy Dalton 1 target, 1 catch 1 TD.

TE screen is much more effective anyways.

Price alsoo stayed a half hour over.

Hubbard could be really good man, he has crazy upside and is very smart listening to him speak.

Had a 2nd round grade on him, couldn't believe he was there for us in the 3rd.

Yea that was infuriating. At least they needed trick plays to beat us there for a while. Not lately

I just want us to do TRICK plays on the Squeelers for all the times they scored 7 on us with silly trick plays that ALWAYS worked and our lame D coach and D back in the day was caught off guard time after time after time again.

It never ceased to amaze me how the squeelers were so successful running flea flickers around midfield on us.

Everybody in the world knew it was coming !! Steelers 2nd and two on the Cincinnati 47, pitch to the RB entire D bites to that side of field. RB throws it back to QB, entire D bites back to that side of field. There's no body with in 25 yards of the Steelers WR slipping in behind the DB's.

Well everybody except the entire Bengals coaching staff and all the defense on the field.

Was thinking the same. They beat the snot out of us without trick plays these days.

Still, it's less infuriating than watching Hines Ward throwing TD's or smiling on his way to the end zone with confused Bengals in his wake.

Some try out players got contract offers from mini camp. Don't know much about them.

Yeah good ole Hue Jackson....  Gadget plays are good but if you confuse the refs and get a flag it doesn't help your team

I want our defense to be smart enough to sniff out their trick plays and stuff them for losses or interceptions

And I want out offense to be tough enough to flat out run by them or through them without any stupid gimmick plays.

Then pull out the very rare exception to the rule in a playoff game and catch them with their pants down.

Good enough
Tough enough
Smart enough
Composed enough

Enough of this looking like children playing on the adult field.

Loath gadget plays. We end up looking stupid more times than not and I can’t remember the last time gadget plays out points on the board for us.

I love it.  The next Sanu (except Sanu was a WR).

I think someone would need to be cut for Flowers to make 53 roster though

Lets just put this rumor to bed right now..I never signed with the team so no, I was never cut.    It might be more appropriate to say they've never even known of my existence outside of banning me from the old board on numerous occasions. THEY BANNED MR WONDERFUL!   I'm still waiting for the letter of apology from the mother ship.. Somehow I don't think it'll be forthcoming.
