***Pre-Season GameDay Thread - Colts @ Bengals***

I think you are underestimating Burton's route running. Your assumption is based on his reps with a backup OL. Also, a backup QB and it seemed Zac kept the offense vanilla by design. You may be correct, but I want to see Burton running routes with the 1st team. Separation is tough in the NFL, but Burton seems to have the speed and quickness to get separation.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
