Keywords here.... "padless practice"



And anyways who cares. Even if ced actually plays well -- which he won't -- the bengals best not give him a contract offer. He was the high draft pick we needed on the line and he failed miserably.. I know our entire line was trash last year but nobody else was drafted that high. He came out with a demeanor of just getting a paycheck.. no hustle,  no heart, etc.. 


a little bitter he is even on the team still.

A good coach can work on technique, until he's able to do it blindfolded.  However, the coach cannot instill the "nasty" gene into a man that doesn't already have it.  The urge to physically dominate and control one's opponent seems to be something that certain people are just born with.

Ogbuehi Turning A Corner:

I totally get the sentiment, and I agree wholeheartedly......just makes one wonder if he does play halfway decent ball.....

However, there are those guys out there (contrary to what some would have you believe) that need a foot up their ass, and a drill sergeant in their ear to get them going.  I don't think the previous position coach was that guy, seems the current one is.  We'll see.

Either way, ideally, I'd like to see Glenn return to form, and Jake Fisher find his footing and just move on from Ogbuehi.
