Oh Palmer was played his part in the wins and the losses out there in AZ for certain, it's just his statement on the culture and you hear that a lot from guys that leave here. Housh said it, Dunlap, Corey Dillon, even big Willie talked about the difference between Baltimore and Cincy.
Mike Brown is going to do it his way. I don't believe the man is against winning or doesn't want to win, I just believe he is set in his ways and he will either win his way or no way. And as long as we have his way, we have a handicap when it comes to scouting late round guys and developing them.
That's really the only reason I'm so all in on Sewell.
If we miss on the OL in round 2 (like taking Tevin Jenkins who reminds me a lot of Ced, especially after Synric mentioned some stuff and I watched game film) then we are in huge trouble. And Burrow gets pummeled again all season. I know Spain, and XSF are here full time... but you can't believe all 5 O-lineman make every start. That means Jordan is just an ankle sprain away from playing... yikes.
If we take Sewell, he may not be anything more then a really good offensive lineman, but it's a nice upgrade. If we then miss on the 2nd round WR pick, Burrow throws into tighter coverage, but he is upright, and can also just throw the ball away.
It's not like either guy at 5 takes us from 4 wins to playoffs. It's still a pretty bad roster overall and we still have the bumbling coaching staff.
