Ask Jim Owczarski

@CageTheBengal Chick told me he got called down by Marvin a few times in his office. Just curious...Have you? 


I have not been summoned to the office, but let’s just say Marvin has let me know when he’s not happy.

@MaineBengal which of the top 10 RB draft candidates do you see as the best match for what the Bengals do offensively?

Best match – Joe Mixon, in my opinion. I’d then go with Alvin Kamara. Fournette is deemed a special enough runner that he could maybe offset the pass catching questions.

@Bigcatfan - will the team be wearing a special honor patch on the jerseys?
  How about a patch with the 50 in tiger stripes?

I can’t say for sure, but considering they are doing a special logo – I’d have to think logo-related “items” will be seen.


@skycruiser JimO- what's the worst case scenario playing out at 9?

That’s a good one. Considering I’m mad all the time (h/t #BBP) I like thinking angry.
Worst case for whom? I’m assuming you mean the club as its board might be constructed, as opposed to who fans want.

Worst case requires a couple of things happening:
No QBs are picked
In no particular order, these 8 being pulled off the board: Garrett, Thomas, Barnett, Fournette, Allen, Adams, Lattimore, Howard.

Duke Tobin was pretty clear that when you’re at 9, you get one of the first picks of the “best of rest” – that you usually miss out on the generational talent at 9, that those guys are gone. If all those guys go off the board, I could see the club looking for a trade partner to move down. I’m not sure they value a LB as high as No. 9. Do you value an injury-prone safety at 9 (Hooker)?
Do you value any of those receivers that high – when Mike Williams especially isn’t really the guy you need?
