And I've told you TWO dozen times (and provided links on the mothership....lest everyone else here forgets) that Piano Man is invited out of convenience to a seminar held in......CINCINNATI....moreso than he is some coveted warlock of o line play. Of course he is invited....he's the local guy from the NFL! You told us all how he's the keynote speaker every year....and I provided the rosters from those seminars that said he wasn't....in fact...a lot of college guys and some high guys were regarded higher at times....so, fail. I could coach a unit with all high round draft picks.
I mean....dude HAND PICKS a center....and coaches him 3 years to achieve...........drumroll please......25th ranking. Then we have first rounder Zeitler playing like Margus Hunt year one after a whiskey and Marlboro weeklong bender.....who's either regressing or we should have taken DeCastro to begin with. Wonder who's suggestion it was trade BACK to get Zeitler and pass on DeCastro? Hmmmmm.....I wonder.
Sumbitch wouldn't be on anyone else's staff if he had been a part of the worst decade of the franchise....2nd worst ever.....let alone no promotion or offers from other teams. Come on buddy tell us all about the good ol days and Donte Scarnecchia again....I can't wait.
Yup !
The Bengals are 28th in the league in time of possession, 28TH !!! I seen the list the other day on our drive times at Pittsburgh, it was awful :
54 seconds, 58 seconds, 52 seconds, 56 seconds, 1 minute 3 seconds, 1 minute 11 seconds and so on like that. Our longest drive was just over 4 minutes.
It's amazing how our defense has done under these conditions. And the reason we can't sustain drives ?
We can't run the ball - period. Why you ask ? Because our starting center hand picked by the PA gets shoved 3 yards deep into the backfield on 3 out 4 running plays. On the 4th he whiffs.
We can not continue averaging 42 yards rushing per game with Andy on pace to crush the record for pass attempts !
