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.

First, we need to try him at Guard, where some draft pundits thought he was better suited to play in the NFL.

Nah, Morris doesn't even move... like, at all. He might still be standing at the 5 yard line after giving up that red zone sack. [Reply]

Maybe we should take it easy on Jamar Chase Every Other Team in The Standings? When he said the Bungles were the team to beat in the AFC this year he might have meant the team that other teams would be able to beat ? On second thought, screw that guy . [Reply]
That's exactly what we need to be using him for and when we do that with regularity, the QBs will stop setting so deep and those pressures that Jones creates can become sacks.
Dammit we need that speed rusher so badly. I don't know how we can continue to get a first hand look at how it wrecks protections week in, week out, and seemingly have no interest in even attempting it. [Reply]

I had said that we would see if Joe Burrow was as good as everyone thought this year after losing Boyd and all of the defensive talent due to his contract. Higgins missing games hurt too. And I guess that I got my answer. He was propped up by a strong supporting cast. Having 3 wide receivers with the talent of Chase, Higgins and Boyd would make anyone look good. Just like throwing to Tim Brown and Jerry Rice made everyone think that Gannon was special. Same thing happens over and over. Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith put a mediocre Troy Aikman in the hall of fame. Burrow had his chance and blew it. Mostly because he couldn't stay healthy during his window. He may get another opportunity to shine. But it likely won't be in Cincinnati. At some point me may get the opportunity to move to another loaded team that just needs a quarterback, like the 2020 Buccaneers did with Brady. But his chances are pretty slim now. [Reply]

I don't want to say Spags doesn't know how to use him, because he clearly does, and has used similar guys before....but man, I do not get his reluctance. A LOT of us have cried out for speed. Karlaftis, Danna, FAU, none of them win fast and the lack of that threat is such an obvious, infuriating need.
Also I loved Herbig as a draft pick, he's looked unreal [Reply]
