I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
The Watts and Garretts of the world are quick enough to chase Burrow down from behind when he and they are both sprinting full speed. That's why he has so much trouble with them. With Chris Jones Burrow is JUUUUSST about 3/4 of a step faster than him so if he sees him coming and has any distance whatsoever he can get away. Garrett chases him down like a wolf attacking a rabbit. [Reply]

Crazy to think they could have got both. Would’ve been the draft haul of the century. At the very least could have landed pre-diddles Deshaun for a rookie contract. Instead they got cute with money ball and ended up with jabril peppers/deshonne Kiser/Njoku. That is an even worse trade than trubisky because nobody would’ve considered either Watson or mahomes a reach at their spot [Reply]

But Yeah, I think he's as much of a disruptor as those guys.
I guess it depends on the source. From what I saw on Pro Football Reference it showed the average HOF DT having a score of 105 and Jones was at 43 and change. Now how accurate they are, I do not know. But if they are pretty accurate, he isn't even half way. [Reply]
If the Bengals have a problem this year it's not OBJ, it's that the entire line is pants, and in particular the LG. OBJ has gone from having Thuney next to him to having Cordell Volsen. I do think that Browns DL is elite and they won't be half as bad down the road. But it's crazy it's STILL a potential problem for them. [Reply]
