1. Murphy did absolutely nothing. Seriously, at 170 lbs. I could have done what he did, which was nothing.
2. Carman is just about worthless. Every once in a while he leans into someone and gets movement on a running play. He is horribly inconsistent as a pass blocker.
3. The entire OL was barely mediocre, which made it hard on our backup QB's. But can we trade Siemian and Browning for Sean Clifford?

I know, one pre-season game. But this is an over-reaction thread, and that’s my over-reaction.
Siemian and Browning are both land cows and should not be on NFL rosters, but that’s just truth.
Obviously Burrow going down for any length of time would kill us, but we should have a capable backup that can suitably run the offense if Joe gets hurt for 2-4 weeks. Cincinnati cannot win a football game with either of those guys.

1. Very disappointed in the backup QB’s
2. Disappointed in Myles Murphy
3. Disappointed in the backup lines. Run defense awful and OL ( these were experienced players) looked like crap run or pass blocking
The Good
1. Iosivas is going to help immensely at some point. Don’t know that timeline.
2. Safeties Dax,Tycen,and Battle
3. Robbins
4. McPherson

offense:
1) Qb's struggled better see improvement in 2nd game
2) OL backups provided no running lanes
3) Iosivas has claimed at least the 6th Wr spot. ( big 3, Irwin, jones/taylor) depending on PUP
4) Tanner Hudson looks like he may be a solid #3 TE
5) Money Mac dead on solid!!!
Defense:
1) Safety may be a strength this year ( dax, battle, anderson)
2) Murphy needs to show up!!!
3) Our backup Cb's were horrible ( Jones, George)
4) Robbins has the punting job!!!!!
5) Tufele looked impressive

gets though. My overreaction is that our backup QB's are pretty terrible, at least they were in this game. Neither one was accurate
at all. Also my guy Jackson Carman played pretty bad in this one, his pass protection was very inconsistent. I liked how the coaches
kept him in the game all night long at RT to make him learn.
The good, Dax Hill looks like a stud, Battle looks like a stud. DJ Turner looks like a stud, I love our young Secondary players.
Tufele is a beast, dude is so strong. Gunter had some bad penalties but had some nice plays. I liked what I saw of Shaka Heyward
the backup Linebacker. Tycen Anderson obviously had a great game with a pick 6 and another interception. Love our young Safeties.
You guys are not wrong on Murphy, but...... he had a terrible pass rush win rate last year at Clemson. It may be better to accept the fact that he is a more athletic Sam Hubbard with potential to be better, this mindset is much less frustrating.
