Pierre is a combination of Natty Light and me trying to get the name of our new crappy G right.

You can wait until after Tuesday and be 100% correct

Maybe 3rd time will be the charm...it is Lucas Patrick, not Patrick Lucas

DNR - Hendrickson (1), I am predicting we sign Risner, if so either Ford or Cockran may be in trouble

Good list but no way they not keep Ford. It’d be McLaughlin with the hopes of practice squad.

You may be correct, but keep in mind if no Risner, I keep Ford

I don’t think under any circumstances they cut Ford because he’s by leaps and bounds their most versatile lineman. Others before. His experience in the league gives him a big advantage over several others.

I hope we sign Risner and Patrick fills the backup role for the guards. I think Ford is not a good swing tackle option. I have Ford on my 53 now and no Risner.

If they sign Risner or acquire some other guard by FA or trade it won’t be Ford that’s cut. His versatility is unmatched versus the other backups.

Ford is their backup tackle.  Risner is a guard.   Do you seriously think Devin Cochran is a better tackle than Ford?  come on man!! No way in this universe is Cody Ford not making this team.

Unless ATL offers us something nice, they are in dire need of an OT.

I thought Cockran did very well in preseason and is a better tackle than Ford. Ford did not fare well in preseason, he was worse by far than Patrick at guard as well. I understand he is versatile, but he seems to be a jack of all trades and master of none. 

Maybe we can trade him to Atlanta, they need a Tackle. I can see Rivers being our new Cody Ford.

WR/TE (10): Chase, Higgins, Gesicki, Iosivas, Jones, Tinsley, Fant, Sample, Hudson, Grandy
RB(4): Brown, Brooks, Perine, Milton
QB(2): Burrow, Browning
OL9) Brown, Fairchild, Karras, Rivers, Mims, Ford, Lee, Patrick, Risner
CB/S(11): CTB, Hill, Turner, Stone, Battle, Anderson, Newton, Ivey, Lux, Jules, Anthony
LB(5): Wilson, Knight, Carter, Burks, Heyward
DL(9): Hendrickson, BJ Hill, Slaton, Stewart, Murphy, Jenkins, Jackson, Ossai, Sample,
ST: Adomitis, McPherson, Rehkow

Notes: Gesicki is a WR and bumps Burton who has had 2 most-injury free preseasons to earn a spot and leaves a spot for Grandy who doesn't dress most Sudays. Milton also probably doesn't dress but may eclipse Perine by the end of the season. Only 9 OL including Risner because Bengals backup OTs are Ford and Rivers Another player added could cause a cut elsewhere. I can't carry 3 centers, but I can see Lee and McGlaughlin both on the roster next year. 5 safeties with Stone being week to week avoiding choosing between Jules and Anthony right now. Heyward over Njongmeta for STs. Sample was the choice as DE/DT flexible and a veteran, but could also see any of the DTs instead.

I have seen multiple media guys predict that Cedric Johnson is heading for IR-designated for return
