Offense did look good tho.
Kinda disappointed because i thought Jones was much more than this. Great hands and routes but absolutely cannot break a tackle for shit. Which will probably translate to not being able to get good releases off the LOS. His only hope as a player is slot WR with alot of motion to keep him from getting pressed. Dude is LIGHT AS HELL in the drawls. Like so light it actually hurts his game cause he can’t break a tackle for shit.

Simeon makes the team because Zac would look stupid having personal interest in a QB just to cut him.
Ego wise, Trevor has to make it
Also Browning is a 27 year old 3rd string QB. He’s absolutely not getting snatched from the PS.
Someone desperate would probably still take a flyer on Trevor if we cut him.

Man, two heinous penalties by our OL depth aren't looking good for them. Hill with the facemask on a spectacular grab by Tanner Hudson on a 3rd down play not only killed the drive, but swung the momentum toward Washington, as they went right down and scored. Then you have Scharping at Center, after a couple of high snaps to Browning in the 1st Quarter, commits an unnecessary holding that negates a really nice run by a guy who's just trying to put something good on film.
On another note, Stock UP for Tanner Hudson, at least in my book.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Hendrickson

Murphy (we are NOT cutting our 1st round draft pick)
Tupou
Tufele
The first 8 are locks. Gunter may be in the fight for one of those last 2 spots but you would also throw Dominque Davis and Raymond Johnson into that mix
Why do we do this? We dismiss other's opinions as silly.
Perhaps you can answer the question instead of dismissing the premise. If Ossai looked good in camp and is a lock, then why was he out there?
I'm of the opinion this game is for rookies to get game time and vets competing for a job.

I’m ok with 4 TEs if need be. Don’t know how you are gonna play the 4th guy but i just don’t see Asiasi being a keeper. Wouldn’t be mad if we sacrificed a lineman spot to get Hudson tho. Hill would be my 1st pick. MS has been good enough at backup C to cut Hill imo.

Jones was actually my favorite pick from the draft. He lit it up in college. But so far it’s been more Chuck Fizzle than Chuck Sizzle in the preseason. I keep waiting for him to make someone miss. He’s also looked a little slow. I hope he gets it going because I think the hope is he becomes Boyd’s replacement in the slot.

Definitely, he looked pretty smooth on that play that was called back.

Decent first half from the lads, Ossai should never have been on the field and as for old Trevor hopefully someone is in the Bengals locker room as we speak packing his stuff so he can leave as soon as they get back to Cincinnati.
So molasses is only called that here? I know the word treacle, I just thought it was an older outdated word. Live and learn.

The problem with that is that Hill has shown that he can't handle the pressure in pass pro at G, as evidenced by the facemask call negating a fantastic catch by Hudson. THEN, Hill follows that play up by whiffing on his first block, and then lunging and falling on the ground on the ensuing play, leading to a 4th and 23. Scharping hasn't really looked "great" either. He had at least two high shotgun snaps and a costly holding penalty.
I stand by my JN post calling for putting a claim in for Nick Harris.

it's not the first time I had to look up one of your vocabulary words. Cue a joke about those of you from England need to learn to speak English. (I'm actually enjoying picking up words from the motherland.)

It’s also used as a greeting to a women “Hello treacle”
If you asked someone over here what molasses was they wouldn’t have a bloody clue.

I guess you have to play cautious against a beast like Fromm

The fact that you spelled his name as primate probably says all we need to known about his prospects as the Bengals backup QB.

Did not know that. No wonder molasses cookies don’t sell well in Australia.
Edit: I meant England. I was wondering what Australians call it when I wrote that.

Anyone been paying attention to Ivey? Gonna be hard to not give him a roster spot. He’d be gone within 20 minutes of hitting the PS
