Corey Davis was from a smaller school and we don't know how he will fair against the CB's in the NFL.

Quite a leap.

All these guys are injured but i would take Ross over these guys any day of the week. Bet he has the best NFL career.

But he's an impact player/tone setter and you pretty much have to have those on your team. And like I said, if he gets better at it, it shows me he does truly care about what's best for him and the team. 

The safety thing is something I agree with but the way they go about it is laughable. They have zero consistency for said rules and they don't enforce them on every player. So I am jaded with them enforcing player safety, but only when it fits their special, ever changing criteria.

The guys are moving too fast and the game happens too fast. He's going to collide with a player wrong and get suspended.

It's just a matter of when he's out of the league with a year suspension...then the next one they'll ban him for life.

It's kind of obvious to see that coming. His hit in the KC game wasn't a dirty hit. It's coming. He's eventually going to be banned.

I also think the Browns could beat us and probably do beat us once this year.

And he's not been in any trouble outside the stadium either. he's getting better, but he's an aggressive football player and it scares the "lets make football into two-hand touch" people to death.

Just sucks the NFL still has it out for him with that blatantly biased suspension.

ie This is largely on Burfict. He earned his reputation and it's coming back to bite him now.

(09-07-2017, 11:11 AM)Luvnit2 Wrote: Burfict (and all Bengals players) have only 1 choice, just start going for the knees and ankles every tackle. If he blows out a guy's knee or breaks his ankle each week, it is legal and just a part of the game. He needs to stay away from anything above the chest.

Burfict's best bet (although not great) might be to stay at arm's length and wrap up in the midsection every time.

Yet it had nothing to do with him. Like him and his skill set. Just thought a dominant pass rusher or OL was needed more.

Like the kid and think he could be great if not injury prone. Which the jury is still out on that for me.

But in the camp of it is getting tiresome not getting our early round picks on the field as well.

It certainly was a nice thing when AJ and Dalton came right in and played and made many on here sport an ugly new sig. So it can be a good thing.

Plus in the one that says Bengals out two weeks usually means more and sometimes much more. Hope this is not the case.

And did we really compare the 166th pick in the draft (Marvin Jones) expectations to the #9 overall selection ? Two different levels of expectations in my book.

But was a great comparison about Tyler Eifert and Marvin Jones durability. It was kind of an eye opener somewhat.

Wish the kid well and his skill sets could really help us out immediately even as a decoy.

Will finish by saying that believe Mixon is the top prize out of this draft. But Ross is right behind him.
