One, I question two the Bengals chose to play their starters tonight and two, I'm even more concern that they're playing like crap!

He's likely playing the starters because they needed the work. Coaching staff was not happy with their progress and preparation for the regular season.

Yeah I'm glad BB didn't play the starters. No need.

Yeah, that's what he did. Each side only played a series but I still don't see the need to expose AJ or Geno to the risk of injury to make a point.

Looks like J.K. Schaffer just made the squad.

You have to give him credit. He played well enough to make the squad in Jax and he's done the same here. He's limited athletically, which is why he hasn't been given a roster spot, but he definitely plays his ass off when given a chance.

True but I think he makes it in over Vincent Rey. Like you said, everytime he's given a chance he hustles his ass off and just makes plays. I'd rather have a physically limited player that's smart and who plays fast because they know what they're doing rather than a physical all-world type that's a moron, aka Taylor Mays.
