OTAs

I'm more concerned with Brown, as he's been fairly inconsistent during his career and is on a one year prove-it deal.  He needs to get his chemistry down with the rest of the line.

Yeah, I'm done suggesting why JC is a no-show. Folks can believe what they want and it'll most likely be swayed by how big of a fan of his you are.

The LAST thing I'm worried about with JC sitting out not showing is his chemistry with Burrow. I wonder what he could bring to the WR JB. If we're to believe early reports, Burton is going to take on Chase's role as JC plays more in the slot.  Be nice to have JC in Burton's ear.

I agree that I'm more concerned with TB's absence. Like I mentioned earlier he was here earlier. 

bfine's conspiracy theory: Brown showed up pushing 4-bills and Zac sent him home to get in shape. I'd also like to know why Rankin's isn't present. If someone was paying me $26 Mil; I;d move a few things around to attend the Company Picnic.
