Daily observations from camp

If McLachlan is showing potential and is too good to ship to the PS, then you cut Hudson and try to get him to the PS(where he's spent most of his career).  You don't go short at a position where guys get banged up and winded all the time.  Guys on the street don't get you through a game when two of your backs got hurt and the last man standing is dying of exhaustion.  Then people whine about why we threw it on 3rd and 1 instead of just handing it off.  And it's especially bad for an 11 base team to keep 5 TE's 

Ahh. I never am able to see who all is out there on ST because the camera is usually too far back other than the returner.

More than likely the Bengals will keep 4 RBs like they have every year.
I just don't personally see much value in the 4th RB, but I know some (many?) don't agree with that.


I don't like the idea of putting Hudson on PS.
Yea, he's been mostly on the PS in previous years, but he showed last year he deserves to be on a 53 somewhere. And I want him on the Bengals 53.

It was a head scratcher to me to draft 2 TEs after signing 3 guys in FA. I would have looked for a RB where McLachlan was selected.
I had Vidal or Gore Jr. targeted for Rd 6, but Vidal didn't quite make it to Bengals that round and Gore went undrafted.
I thought Gore Jr. was pretty dynamic though, and I'm glad he's getting a chance with the Bills right now.
I don't dislike McLachlan as a prospect though, and I hope he can show some receiving and blocking chops in these last couple preseason games.
