thebandit27

Honestly this was basically what I expected Cincinnati is a pretty good team, and Buffalo was banged up & coming off a huge win. Hopefully we'll get healthier during the bye week and be able to re-focus against TB.

Morelli sees that one, but not the 4 on Kroft

Tyler Kroft can apparently hold anyone he wants on any play with zero repercussions

Vlad is just awful

If Vlad is NOT a horror show, it'll be the first such time in his career

Indeed. My consternation is more about Ducasse than Miller being out. Ducasse has been horrible his entire NFL career.

Way to get personal. Yes, they're 3-1. Does this somehow mean that every decision they've made is right? That's a very, very dumb supposition I'm also willing to bet that you've never watched Ducasse. I'm also willing to bet that you didn't watch last week, else you wouldn't be so quick to give them the benefit of the doubt in going with Washington over Worthy But keep on with the ad hominem attacks--they definitely give your uninformed opinion more credibility No feedback on that one; sorry

FWIW, I just got a text that the team wants some size in the lineup given the sloppy conditions--hence Ducasse in and Miller out I still don't like the decision

Hey, if I'm wrong I'll gladly admit it

It's one thing to question getting rid of certain players; it's quite another to purposely put a horrible player in the lineup. This guy sucks. I actually feel fine about Shareece Wright playing for Gaines, but Washington over Worthy and Ducasse over a traffic cone are just crazy decisions IMO.

Jerel Worthy and John Miller are inactive? These are bad coaching decisions

More than a few members of this board were at the event and corroborated it Ebron was the pick at 9.

He's still my QB1

WRs are a selfish bunch Period I'm far more interested in what they bring to the passing game, and what Sammy brought is sorely missed That said, the "other" off-field issue is a much more legitimate concern

Indeed...I think it'll tough from a competition standpoint, but also tough from a physical standpoint. Can't wait.

He was very good again last year, which was the first season in which he missed any time. He may not end up being 100% at all this year; I think it would be a mistake to move on from him after one season of missed time. He's a solid LT in the prime of his career. Ask the Bengals, Seahawks, and Texans how much sense it makes to move on from one of those guys.

Well, I'm sure some folks think that (a) it matters to Glenn where he plays now that he's making LT money, and (b) it's somehow a waste of money to put your highest-paid OLmen somewhere other than LT. It doesn't, and it's not. That's without any consideration to the fact that guys like Lane Johnson and Ricky Wagner are making $11M AAV to play the RT spot.

Well, most "advanced metrics" are subjective, but even if we take them as gospel, that's still not an accurate statement: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-10-big-name-players-that-missed-the-top-101 "Argument for Top 101 inclusion: Cordy Glenn allowed just two sacks all season, despite pass-blocking for a quarterback that holds the ball (on average) longer than any other QB in the league (3.22 seconds per dropback). He had a perfect game in pass protection against the Houston Texans, making a total of five games over the season in which he allowed no pressure at all and was only responsible for his quarterback being knocked down four times in total. Why he isn’t in the Top 101: Glenn’s run-blocking was average at best, and disastrous in a couple of games over the season. He allowed 27 total pressures, and his pass-blocking efficiency was only good enough for 11th overall among tackles, behind players like Taylor Lewan and Austin Howard."

Suppose that Dawkins struggled to get comfortable on the right side, but played well at LT. We've seen that happen before with guys like Kouandjio and Henderson. If Glenn shows the ability to slide over to RT with no drop in level of play, wouldn't it make sense to move him over since the starting 5 would be better than with Dawkins at RT?

What does this mean, and what are you basing it on?

Apparently he's not even average; he's marginal--barely above the minimum acceptable standard:

Yeah, that headline is a pretty bad mischaracterization of Brown's quote.

I'd rather have McDermott That'd be okay too I guess. No need to be sorry; it's a discussion point

I think that would be a mistake. You have a very good LT who, when healthy, locks up a critical spot on your OL that you don't have to think about. Let Dawkins play until Glenn is healthy, and then decide where he fits. If it's RT, great, you now don't have to think about that. If he needs to kick inside to guard, so be it. If it comes down to that he can't play RT or guard, then you see what you can do with Glenn possibly moving to another spot temporarily. Whatever it takes to get the best combination of 5 on the field is what's most important.

Matt Cassel may start for Tennessee

I believe that was when EJ got Leger Douzable to jump offsides with the hard count on 4th-and-short in Week 17 of 2015
