Bengal rookie QBs have fared well vs the Browns in past history. Heck even Akiki Smith beat the Browns
It would benefical to at least come out in 2 TE sets to help our OTs in pass blocking. Then use JB on rollouts
And let him connect to any WR on crossing routes behind the Browns suspect LBers.
2-TE sets keeps the defense guessing

Just thinking back to training camp, whenever Burrow has a bad practice/scrimmage, he came out in the next one and tore it up. Let’s hope that’s the case Thursday.

We do have a long history of our RB's having big games against the Browns.
Dillon, Rudi, CedBen, Hill and Mixon have all dominated them.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Good point. Let's hope this is the case tomorrow night. Would love a rebound victory against the Browns.

I've flown back and forth to Florida twice in the last 9 months, in a cramped Allegiant plane and felt zero physical problems. That was an hour and 30ish minute flight. Cleveland is about 30 to 45 minutes. There won't be an issue there.

Right, and your typical day involves collisions with 300 lb men. I am telling you any NFL player would agree that any flight is not helpful when fighting injuries.

At least this time Burrow will have actual game tape on his opponent.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Agreed. We will need a big performance from Mixon to get a victory, I think Cleveland will put up some points. If Mixon can get going, we can get Joe comfortable. Browns have a good pass rush, so mixing it up is key. I am still excited to keep evaluating the young guys, win or lose.

Everything will be all better Thursday because Burrow will have held everyone responsible and given them a good talking to.
Apparently that is all it takes to fix the problems with this team.

Yeah. It's been 72 hrs since they played. They'll be fine.

I used to love to play when I was drinking. Well, except when I got hit so hard once I laid on all fours with beer foam gushing from my nose.

Burrow needs to get into.a rhythm really early in the game. Memo to our supposedly genius head coach
OPIE Taylor dont wait till 2 mins left in the 4th q. To get JB into precision attack mode.
