Trey Hendrickson posted that he’s in Florida this morning on training camp report date in Cincinnati a day after Bengals owner Mike Brown said he felt like the team was in a good spot with him on a new deal

He's such a drama queen child. Mike Brown said he gets too emotional. I think he's correct.

You know what else he is? A million times better at his job than Mike Brown has ever been at his.

You mean the same team with burrow, chase , higgins...Same team that has the 9th most wins in the NFL the last four years? Same team that is in the top 5 in national viewership? Same team that sells out every home game?

Yep.  Players expecting the Bengals to act in a way they never have before.  Same shyt all the time.

Real question. Do you just have that line always ready to just right click paste (or Ctrl + V) into a post? Or do you type it up fresh each time?

Yep, expecting the Bengals to act like a first rate franchise instead of a complete dumpster is on the players.

And a whiner who wants a new deal every year because someone else is making more than he is.

Don't expect him to make the team with Samaje and Tahj now here.

Still think his agent is a dumbass Sled and he helps make Trey look like a whiner that wants a new deal every year.

Zac said NJ won't do much in this camp. He knows what Hill brings, and wants him ready to start the season. All the reps BJ would normally get will be going to McKinley and Jenkins and the other to DT's we just signed, while Hill continues to rehab and rest.

I'll take the "whiner" who pushes for league lead in pass rush production over someone who gets less than half that production but doesn't whine, personally.


But maybe that's because I'm a whiner myself

And honestly, he's right. BJ Hill never seems to take any downs "off", he's always full speed on the field. Let the big fella heal up and be ready for the season.

He's right on that edge where you're like... he's not a great starter, but he's not someone you actively need to replace either. Not a solution, but not a problem.

Even a slight decline will change that, so he absolutely needs to be 100%.

He may not be a "great" starter by stats or whatever definition you go by, but the dude is 100% effort when he's on the field. I've referenced plays last season where BJ Hill and Myles Murphy are both in pursuit of a mobile QB. BJ looks like he's in fast forward, compared to Murphy who looks like he's running in quicksand.

Happy new year everyone, here we go again.

Fingers crossed Al Golden can sort out that shit show that we call a secondary and Geno Stone puts in a job application at target.

Things can only get better.
