I am seeing numerous comments about Bodine not looking good as well as the second string line. This is all on Alexander. This unit better be coached up in a hurry or his butt needs to go!

Sideline reporters are nothing but a nuisance. It's bad enough that if i want to get Bengal info, I have to have it filtered through Hobson's propaganda machine. Did I really have to hear him during preseason games? As bad as he is as a writer, he's twice as bad as a talker.

WHIFFED. 3. ....I don't think you know what gap discipline or washing out is. 4. Yes. He got blocked by a TE...again 5. Hunt had his chance before the TE touched him. He just has no clue what to do...besides, isn't the benefit of a big dude like Hunt that a TE shouldn't be able to one-arm him out of the play? 6. I never said it was bad. I said he was unblocked. Like almost all of his good plays. You are ridiculous. 7. Yes he beat a TE. Is this what you have gotten down to? Celebrating him beating a TE? Why does Carter have to play in the base defense? Answer: he doesn't. He is a pass rusher. He isn't a liability. You send him out on 3rd and long. If they see him and choose to run on 3rd and long...that's the offenses fault because he's not a push over.

Just saying that Hunt's age is not so old this year that it's a factor. The difference between the ages of Clark and Hunt will factor in as Hunt continues to age, no doubt. But this year I don't think it does. He's not out of his 20s yet and doesn't have a lot of mileage. I'm definitely not on a crusade to save Hunt. He has not shown much against NFL starters, has been routinely injured and has got a low probability of getting his learning curve completed before he ages out. He does flash, but it's really hard to know if he'll have enough chance - or health to grow from a really good athlete to an impact football player. I don't think he should have been drafted that high because of his age and lack of experience, but obviously Zimmer did.

And what happens when they covert that 3rd and long goes no huddle and run right at him on 1st and 10. Happened to Gillberry quite a few times last season. Most memorable is the Indy TD of the 2014 playoff game. Also giving Hunt beating a TE was his job and he accomplished it on that play and got beat by the TE on another it does happen Gresham beat JJ Watt a few times last season.

Shows what they think of Hunt that they routinely left a TE on an island to block him....good grief

Carter will be used in obvious passing situations and even if the other team runs, it's not like he's a weakling who's going to just be pushed out of the way. What he can do for us is shorten the time a QB has to wait for receivers to come open down field, so it's all good to have a guy like this.

Yes it does...it was a game we were completely overmatched. It wouldn't have mattered who was at DE Teams ran at Gilberry all year...because Dunlap is an elite run stopping DE.

Actually Gresham did stand up Watt it was mentioned quite a few times when it happened and in plenty of Gresham threads since then. Also was speaking when Gillberry was kicked inside to rush the passer next to Geno. Dunlap-Gillberry- Geno- Geathers. Teams ran on this formation a ton last year because they would convert on 3rd down go no huddle and run down the middle.

McCarron can play - he's not shy about getting hit.
Our Oline backups are flat out terrible. Mario Alford can fly! I'd hate to have to choose between Wilder and Peerman. Deshaun Williams is a player. There are some guys (Kumerow, Keo) who have some serious potential imo.

I think it was the 3rd preseason game when i heard Lapham mention that Hunt had a disk removed from his back. If this is true the man is still getting healthy and once at full power he can help us. People want to talk about age. But Hunt had been playing football for 10+ years less than just about everybody in the NFL. So yes his football IQ isnt that of a seasoned vet. But to think he is done developing as a football player because he is 28 is foolish.
Not to mention when i was getting autographs down at training camp this year and asked Margus if he was ready this year the man looked at me with the meanest look in his eye and told me "im ready every year" he seemed angry at me for asking and i do believe i shat my pants a little standing next to that monster.

He did very well the last 2 games setting the edge for the most part. To me Hunt looks slow afoot and never seems to make the initial contact with the ball carrier.
