Some people think Ja’Marr is a better WR than me.. but numbers don’t lie https://t.co/cuAB90fjHP

Well Taylor did have that breakout game where he scored the 2 point conversion! He's on fire now...

I'm not really sure why they would be looking at bringing in a DT.  4-3 teams typically keep 4-5 DT's on the roster.  They have Reader, Hill, Tupou, Carter, and Shelvin.  There's no real need at the position group, especially compared to WR.

They can roll over any unused cap money, Browns rolled over over 56 million one year

Make some cuts, trades, or restructure elsewhere then if concerned about every little penny.

The point is, a weapon like Fuller can help add points without really compromising special teams.  

A new young athletic LS or LB isn't going to take over the speed gunner role that the WR, that Morgan/Thomas usually plays.  Taycen Anderson is a possibility.  Don't forget that the gunners are also the eligible receivers in case of a fake or a scramble so you want someone who can catch in that position

Do something like that in the NFL Trent and we can talk lol

Ja'Marr just had the greatest rookie season of any WR ever...

I truly think Tycen will be this guy. A Gunner for us early on while he grows at his Safety position behind Tre Flowers.

Both Anderson and Flowers are about the same size and are kind of similar players except Anderson is more talented and more 
athletically gifted. Was a nice pick to cushion the blow once Flowers leaves most likely after this season. Tycen can be the guy to
cover all these great TE's in the NFL now a days in a year or two.

Stanley Morgan was 24th in the league with 11 special teams tackles.  Most Bengal fans recognize him as a key special teams player.

What most Bengal fans do not realize is that LB Clay Johnston, who only played a few games for the Bengals, also had 11 special teams tackles combined in his games with the Panthers and Bengals.

Tre Flowers had 10.

Just for comparison here is Trent Taylors career stats vs Chase's first year stats

Taylor .......81 - 772 yds,...... 3 TD's..........4 year career
Chase........81 - 1,455yds.....13 TD's..........Rookie year only


Hope Taylor does step into this role and excel, but he is a no position to be whoofing at Ja’Marr just yet.

But like his confidence

Ok you guys have to realize he wasn't being serious, right?  His response HAD to be tongue in cheek.  He knows what he's done and what Chase did.  I thought it was a brilliant humorous response.  Too many here are taking him seriously.

If people didn't catch on he was posting with humor it's a total whooooosh moment by them.

I'm not a fan of seeing Adeniji at RG, but I guess I get it with Cappa out.
Would have maybe preferred Volson being there instead, but Adeniji just might be better at this very early stage.
Or maybe they just want Volson focusing at LG right now.

The WR4 spot definitely doesn't get me excited.
We've seen Mike Thomas. He's been in the league 6 years and has never had more than 13 rec, 132 yards, and 1 TD in a season.
If he's the WR4, we need to really hope there are no WR injuries.
Stanley Morgan also really hasn't done anything on offense noteworthy.
I really hope they add a vet WR4 by training camp.

I don't expect Adeniniji to be there by the time things start mattering.  Am I remembering correctly that Michael Jordan was slotted in at starter early on last year?  I'm w/ you though; it would be great to see one or even both of the other two candidates to ascend.  

Agree on W4.  I think they would like Morgan to make a leap this year, but that's not something I would want to hang my hat on at this point.  Hoping some opportunities present themselves at the position before the season.

Johnston could stay on if he tackles that well on ST's, wow.

He was just joking of course. Thanks for the stats though. Chase had a crazy year and even had troubles with drops at times.

Can't imagine how good he can be if he cleans up the drops and works on his routes.

Didn't mean to act like he was serious guys. It was funny by Trent.

Cool vid of CTB. Like seeing him in Leon's number, hopefully he can be as good for us. I think he can be.

Happy we traded up for him. Was a nice move.
