NFL footballs are bigger than you think and Burrow doesn't have 10" hands.

Sick of hearing about Joe Burrow's glove? Me too so here's another TE block.
Erick All playing inline Y with an excellent block on Duo.

Like I understand when people in this forum do it. None of us have access to anyone from the team, so all we have are videos and stories and no one to rein in our speculations other than each other and some of us suck at it.
But, you're a reporter? And you're speculating without ASKING the player? I like Rapien on Locked On Bengals, but I'm kinda disappointed in him if he's the one speculating on the wrist without talking to Burrow before releasing his speculations.
Ok, so I called Burrow, and here's the deal straight from the horse's mouth. The putting the glove on and off his hand has nothing to do with his wrist, hand, or any other injury. He told me it is just a little fun signal that he sends out surreptitiously to Kay Adams that when she comes over tonight, "the gloves" come off. Nothing to worry about here, just a little puppy love going on.

Yes, but to have this happen now does seem like an odd excuse after everything that has happened. I remember last year some of our fans downplayed the calf injury as being nothing until it was clear it was something major.

Word is, he's done it before under similar circumstances.
If he didn't have an injury at the time, why would anyone bring it up? Seems new to some but par for the course for Burrow.

Nice! That dude could make Sample expendable. Next year though, i don't see him going anywhere this year.

Nice, really liking Erick All more and more. He is not only a talented pass catcher with his RAC he is a very willing blocker.
Dude could be really good.

Sounds like Joe and the offense are looking solid today. I saw Bengals twitter post some nice throws and catches by the offense. Hopefully this puts the Burrow wrist stuff to bed.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

So, not allowed to have videos of joint practices? We had many vids of the joint practice against the Rams when AD went nutz.
Good to hear though Pally, thanks.

Yep, like I thought, posters on here completely exaggerating trying to scare the shit out of people. Not cool, just happy it was BS.

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
