What a job by the big uglies today. They took TJ Watt completely out of the game. If the camera wouldn’t have kept focusing in on him to show his frustration I wouldn’t even have known he played today.
And they were obviously moving guys all game for Mixon. They gave up a couple sacks early on, but one of them was on Burrow for not just stepping up in the pocket (and hitting a wide open Chase in the back of the end zone). Overall they did a hell of a job against a top 2-3 pass rusher in the league.
I’ve been particularly impressed with Adeniji. And Prince did an admirable job filling in for Reiff.

Yeah, I think Adeniji is the RG for the remainder of the season as long as he stays healthy.

and they joined Joe Mixon in a killer TD celebration, apparently conceived by Spain while they were waiting for the challenge on Higgins close but no cigar almost TD. Mixon was very impressed that Jonah Williams joined in

WTH was that? At first I thought it was an awful attempt at the Icky Shuffle, then I thought it was a line dance of some kind

Great time to unveil that celebration
Loved it !

100% with you 9n the first sack being on Burrow. He had a good pocket everywhere save the right side. He should simply step up there. He was feeling his scrambling oats after that first TD.

Gotta roll with the hot hand. Maybe we found something.
Line has been a work in progress for sure, but good job today.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Anyone see who the first one was to get in Watt's face after the deal with Burrow? You guessed it, big 67. Lovin' that dude more every week.

Everything in this post is my fault.

He played after being slow to get up until the starters were pulled. Reiff could've played in an emergency Zac said during the presser

Me too. Not only is he playing well, continuity is critical up front. Good to have some veterans to work rookies/young guys in.

Biggest worry is what will they do with Carmen and D. Smith? You got to feel like they will feel compelled to start Jackson sooner than later. Can either play Center?

I kinda believe they want Carman at RT. If Adeniji can continue to play well, they can move him out to T. If he beats out Reiff, then we're in good shape. I don't *think* either have played C, but I'm not sure.

Adeniji is in his 2nd year, they can sit Carman behind him and next year he will be a second year player.
