Game Thread: WFT vs the bengals preseason 2

[gkekoa]

Fine make a friendly bet. Does AH make this team? I think they brought him in here to be a 3rd down specialist.

What part of he will probably make the team do you not understand? Just because he makes the team doesn’t mean he deserves it.

How has he done on third downs so far, as if third down specialist exists? One catch, six yards, 5 targets. Catch rate of 20%. He has been the second worst receiver on the team…just ahead of Carter.

lol. forget it. you are knocking the guy over pre season stats. They have high praise of this guy in camp. I think he deserves to make it. Im curious to see who will be the 6wr or who will be the PR.

No…I am knocking him over his performance.

He has done well in no contact. He has done shit when it has physicality.

Respecfully, looking at AH career trajectory, starting a less experienced players seems wiser. AH is literally a 5 yarder, with an occasional 30 yrd catch and then serious injury

Bruce? Winning off the field again I see...

Missed the game Friday so, came back to read the in-game conversation. Sounds like the issues remain from week 1, our OL is not very good. Having said that, I do not trust LENO at LT, I just don't. I know its only preseason but tendencies are starting to show already. Really need to crank up our run game to start the season. Do NOT rely on Fitz to win the game for us, just manage the game efficiently and protect the football.

We have questions on the team but lord we haven’t shown anything on offense or defense , worry later

We have shown enough up front in a few quarters that makes it clear our OLine is a problem.

Haven't been impressed with Leno at LT

the starting o/line has played like 34 snaps as a unit . way too early for me to hit the panic button

cosmi is better then moses , leno is as good as lucas and we graded out 6th overall last year .

we will see once the season begins if the o/line play becomes a trend

Havent they been trying out all kinds of oline combinations over the last two games? I believe I heard something to that effect on one of the game broadcasts.

If so, that’s probably the reason why they looked bad against a not-great bengals team.

I'm not convinced that the approach toward good OL play is the correct one. Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but isn't the goal supposed to be, having them all play in concert with one another?

If they are rotating guys in order to see what they have, isn't it possible that the cohesion required suffers because of fewer reps together?

Granted, there have been a lot of changes, and individually there seems to have been upgrades at certain spots, but they all have to play well ( here's the key) together. Failing that, because there just wasn't enough time for the ones to become what they might have been, could have us all wishing for last year's OL.

There are limited snaps available In preseason games and I haven’t seen this as much of a change then what happened in previous regimes

I agree with the previous staffing habits, that didn't turn out very well if the comparison holds.

RR and this staff are rebuilding, and perhaps in the end it all turns out well, but limited snaps or not, I'm a skeptic because the first line could have gotten a bit more on video for corrections that may show up early in the season.
