Don't move Whitehair from LG, please. Yeah, the OL is going to be a problem. If Mustipher continues to suck, you're going to be looking at a situation where you have no cap room to resign James Daniels because a certain GM can't control his boner for void years and need 2+ starters on the OL for 2022. Feared this last year too. Mustipher came in late season and man-handled beat up guys/back ups. Found out he spent all offseasson training with Olin Kreutz locally--just for that 2 straight weeks. Ooooof. Same with Andrew Luck. Even when he's about to get annihilated--his eyes were downfield. The INT and a red zone miss that turned into a FG were the worst. Thought that play where Graham did a lazy cross left to right and planted himself in the soft spot of a zone wide open in the endzone and Fields didn't look back right, just tried to fit a pass that wasn't going to happen to Mooney.
Ha, anal. If it is a bone bruise for Dalton the expectation is he would miss a couple weeks. That's from the doctors on twitter.
We're going Shrimp Lo Mein with trips Eggroll right. If the Mike shows blitz you audible to Moo Goo Gai Pan.
Yeah don't really want them to move Whitehair or Daniels, both better at G. Surely Pace knows of some undrafted, unfreeagenced, untried and untested gem that could start next week.
Haaaaa! "Justin don't worry if you see me turning the menu sheet over and over in between plays. It just means i can't decide what to have for dinner tonight, and besides, thats what the TOs are for."
I'm only seeing this thread now as it was buried below a bunch of pinned threads that aren't relevant to the game yesterday. @Mod, can we unpin all, or practically all of the pinned threads? Maybe just keep the game thread from that week as pinned. What does everyone else think?
Good shout blang and i agree its not good enough. The mod for this board can be very slack. Only does their job about half the time.
Blang's only just seeing this thread now, has posts on the wrong thread because of it. Messed up the entire flow of our board. Just not good enough.
I'm pissed about Graham's piss poor blocking efforts. On the designed run to Fields when it was first and goal, Fields ran to the left and all Graham had to do was make one block and Fields would've easily gotten to the pylon. Instead he whiffs the block and Fields gets tackled hard for practically no gain.
Random thoughts. Is Damien Williams the best backup RB around? Hasn't really shown much of anything, need someone to spell Monty. On the opening defensive play it looked like Jackson made a point to go up to the defender who just got tackled and put two hands on him. If only he didn't need coaches to tell him to do that. Overall Jackson made some really good plays, but he also made a couple of business decisions and also completely blew it on the Chase TD. His two business decisions made me chuckle on rewatch. 1. On the fumble that was ruled down by contact, he jumped out of the way of the linemen who was recovering the ball. I don't really fault him too much for that as he wasn't going to get the ball, but on the broadcast you can hear someone in the crowd yell "What are you doing?!? Get the ball". 2. On the fumble return that he cauesd, he made another business decision to do a swim move around a linemen instead of blocking them. In the end the linemen didn't make it near Gibson, but still not a good look to avoid contact. He was running straight at him and then at the last second bailed and just gave him a push. eJax-1 eJax-2 *MOD any help with the images? Jason Peters looked pretty good. The one major blip I saw was on the sack/strip on Fields, that was his man. But he did walk off the field holding his arm so it appears he hurt something on the play, but obviously was able to recover. Quinn actually made some plays. He was the one that put pressure on Burrows when he was forced to scramble. He also did nothing to avoid the late hit and showed no signs of caring, but he put good pressure on the play and blew it up. JJ did a good job over the course of the game. Really wish he was complementing a #1 CB. He did look to get beat a couple of times, but the Bengals couldn't convert on those plays. One of those could also have been him giving up on the play as he saw the ball had no chance to be caught, but can't tell without A22. I get the feeling that 3rd down scramble by Fields on the last drive saved the game. We have all seen how the D likes to go downhill at the ends of the game. It felt like the Bengals had the momentum and if that wasn't converted they would have had 2+ minutes to at least get in FG position for the tie. That was a big play on Fields.
