Sorry, I blame JB for this sack. He had multiple times to throw the ball away. He is a competitor and his mindset to make a play while heroic, it is also stupid especially in a preseason game. I love JB, but very stupid on his part and he admitted it in the 3rd quarter interview with sideline reporter from ESPN.

And it's the coaches job to sometimes protect the players from themselves.

I disagree. You play scared and you will get hurt in my humble opinion. JB is a big boy and is accountable for his own decisions. ZT can't hold player's hands.

He's a football player. He likes to be hit.

PFF Blocking Grades - I will focus on Patrick more in one of the next couple clips I put out but from watching back for Fairchild it didn't seem as bad for Lucas Patrick as many were saying last night and the grades support that

Still sign Risner but at worst you have more… pic.twitter.com/U6S2mCo8Et

At this point it seems the only hope is that Golden will be able to get something out of this D that Lou couldn't. If not, then in hindsight it looks like signing Tee instead of putting that money on the defense may not have been the best move for this season. Time will tell of course on that.

It is very easy after any draft to be able to pick a better pick choice.  We have yet to play a real game with our rookies, in time we will see if Bengals picking Kinight was a good or bad draft decision.

Huh Rivers with a 50 from PFF pass block score. I'll have to go back and watch but he also allowed zero pressures on 32 pass block snaps.

Or drafted a safety. 

Burks or Carter should be starting next to Wilson.

The vanilla excuse is BS. The 2nd/3rd team did not get gashed. Only the starters.

No one asked him to hold his hand. He should have been taken off the field.

I repeat what I wrote before, he looked awful when he came in, then looked better after that scoring drive.

His defender ran right by him on one play, I think it was a pass to Iosivas (may be wrong on that though).
