(Preseason Week 2) ***Bengals @ Lions - GameDay Thread***

[Big Boss]

I imagine some variation of "Mike is fine" in the post-game press conference.

Yeah, dude could have likely made crazy money, but a WR also needs to know how to beat jams at the LOS. Never know how a sprinter would react to that. Or getting hit. Or how good his hands at, for that matter.

[Stonyhands]

We scored three TDs and only have 20 points. Did we go for 2 or miss an xp?

[ShowMeUrTDs]

So, when injuries start to pile up at this rate...do we need to start questioning the strength and conditioning program, as well???

Wouldn't surprise me if it were lacking compared to the rest of the league.

missed XP.

The best FA kickers still out there are Cundiff and Scobee I believe. Both have had plenty of issues of their own. 

Maybe they'll give a couple of youngsters a workout, but I doubt it.

I think it's Nugent's job regarless what he does (or doesn't do) this preseason.

Nugent missed a FG and a PAT.

I really like Boyd and Core's downfield blocking.

Bolt makes about $20 mil a year.

Carson continues to impress, as does Core!

I always liked Scobee.........Jax for a while

Yeah, didn't say it'd work out performance-wise, but he would have gotten paid by someone willing to toss some money at him to find out. There's also a difference in body type.

Ismail:  5'11, 188
Bolt: 6'5, 207

Bolt has pretty much the same body type as Green's 6'4, 207. Not saying he'd play like Green, but he has the more prototypical body.

Start looking at UDFA, worst case they can miss FG and PAT, too, but cheaper, plus have the chance to actually surprise you and do well.

Just saw that, but that's apparently an outdated number.

Can he kick field goals?

That's ridiculous. I wish I could have a job where I was required to do 2 things only and suck really bad at both of them and never have anything to worry about and get paid really really well for sucking at those two things for less than half a year.

Probably not, but that doesn't seem to a priority for us right now anyway.

Really, we can't stop Charles... Who knew he was even in the league still?

[jj22]

Looking like Nelson

It's almost time for Nuuuuuuge.
