Teddy B was my pick. No idea what Trevor did to get Zac’s love

Same stance and I'm usually not the negative I told you so guy but if things don't change and one of these guys loses the first 2 games of the year (or one later) I'm letting it rip on this one issue.

Weird, I clearly remember him having a 60 series number - guess I was wrong. In any event, the lineman who got abused all night was Kirkland. Both QBs had plenty of time to set and throw and just made BAD throws.

My thoughts:

Battle is a gamer

#72 was the best D-lineman on the field tonight

I lost my high hopes for Sydney Rice

Yoshi looks slow

TE Hudson looked good

Yoshi looks slow

Yoshi looked yoked enough to be a TE made a couple good catches and good effort for some YAC too

[Joelist]

Battle and Dax looked nice. In fact all of the picks flashed. The receivers were hampered because both QBs were so hilariously inaccurate - they had to keep pausing, looking, going back, lunging and so forth to try to rope in the bad passes. I think we actually hit a receiver in stride once all night.

I knew that the sky was falling because it was raining at my house..

I agree. He looked like a Man among boys out there. He just looked "mechanical".

True but so does DK Metcalf even to this day 

[Housh]

I now have no fear of Tee misses his usually couple games but god damn we may just have to move Chase in the slot if Boyd gets hurt. Jones just didn’t look good.

[Joelist]

This was actually a terrible game to evaluate the receivers in because both Browning and especially Siemian had no touch on their passes and were wild.

[reuben.ahmed]

Sounds like we have no backup QB still

Not sure if u were at game but little separation at WR, Lassiter was the WR of the game

[007BengalsFan]

Disappointed Kirkland looked so bad. I had hoped he would come in and look better. He could still improve just like a lot of the other guys that had a not so great game.

I watched the whole sordid thing. Both QBs had more than enough time and the throws were constantly off target. The receivers would have had a lot more separation had they been able to work on getting open and not having to slow, stop, go back and other nonsense trying to zero in on the wild passes.

Carman does not look good out there from what I see. He doesn’t even look like a good back up. Maybe he’s only decent when he plays LT?

He's a game day guy not a practice guy. Well if you consider the preseason games practice.

Watched and at are are two different views, both qb and wrs struggled

it's his first preseason game of his rookie year. and he has a torn labrum. 

let's relax
