Probably need to work Burrow in on kickoff coverage now

Not many. All the skills are backups and we are at second string at RG at least on OL.

Yeah that was even better on replay.

I like our top 4 WR's. I wish Burton was healthy. But the guys pushing for 5th and 6th spots playing can't get open

NOW TAKE HIS ASS OUT!

Agreed. He needs to sit out. already taken 2 sacks. GTFO.

If he gets injured the entire coaching staff should be fired tonight.

Starting Oline. He wanted to get time with the backup WRs.

Mostly. Though I think his earlier catch on the drive may have had an uncalled fumble. Ball never touched the ground and it looked like it was coming out before he was down.

Does Patrick even make this team if we sign Risner?

Only if he brings Pierre and Francois to play D-Line for us.

Not bad for no Chase, no Tee, no Gesicki. OL still not good enough though. Sign Risner immediately.

Defense drive 3

Can they be worse than 1st 2 drives?

Not if but when.
This D has looked historically bad. I mean it’s preseason but they haven’t even come close to stopping the other teams offense. Even 2nd stringers are scoring with ease vs Bengals starting D. They still can’t tackle and somehow they may be even worse than last years D.

You can’t explain that away by saying it’s just preseason.

(9 hours ago)BobJones4980 Wrote: The line I feel like hasn't been too bad, 2 of those sacks were basically coverage sacks.

Still the defense is gonna kill us and we need to sit Burrow, we have seen enough.

We didn’t run the ball very well, no holes on the line. Protection was ok

Take a good look at this game, I expect to see this type of game all year long. No defense, and try to outscore veryone.

I still hate it, he can get time with the backup WRs when they are in 3 WR sets.

No need to risk Burrow holding the ball to long waiting for backups to get open.

you are right but J Chase, JoeyB, Yoshi & OL........now we see backups

If it takes Wash 2 plays or less to score, then yes.

[*rfaulk34*]

I don't know if Patrick is dinged or they just want to see 74 in with the starters. 

[Nicomo Cosca]

(9 hours ago)J24 Wrote: Does Patrick even make this team if we sign Risner?

Yes. He’d be good depth. Just can’t be a starter.

Yea but that's all I'm expecting this year, especially if we sign Risner.

Good pass pro and not much room to run.

[Bengalstripes9]

They need to leave the starting defense in there.

They need a lot of development.
