ugh, was that on Josh, or Gabe?

ya, its like watching Aaron Schobel pass rush. frustrating.

Von is mostly speed. used to use that speed to get under and around fast. he cant do it yet, or its gone.

gotta score here.

those of you complaining about Von. no he doesnt look fully back. doesnt matter though, with Burrow getting rid of the ball so fast none of the pass rushers are going to do anything. rather have them all hang back and throw their hands up when the throws.

Bengals are one of the top teams against zone, yet here we are.

not going to get Burrow if hes throwing under 3 seconds everytime. gotta adjust. straight zone isnt going to work. mix it up. same crap Brady used to do.

taunt, or pointing for somebody to block him?

fantastic start. nice run on the kickoff...

almost like this zone defense cant stop an offense that can block, has 3 good receivers, a QB that can throw against zone, and a running game.

if you know the other teams plays, know when they run them, its an order of magnitude easier to stop them or take advantage of them. end of story. talent matters yes, but knowing another teams plays ahead of time so you can easily counter them and give your players a huge advantage is not in the spirit of any game. in the very least, its extremely unsportsmanlike, and it cheapens what happens on the field by the players. when you cheapen what occurs on the field, it cheapens the game as a whole, and people will stop taking it seriously as fans. for example. if, hypothetically, there was a QB who plays amazing in college, everybody wants him, gets to the NFL and suddenly cant do anything close to what he did in college when it comes to reading the field. people dig and find out his college coaches knew the opposing defenses plays, allowing that QB to know exactly where and when to throw with relative ease and safety, thats a player who is a FRAUD!!!!. Fraud player goes on to cost others their jobs, money, reputation, etc because he isnt what they thought he was. we assume as fans that every game is a somewhat level playing field rules wise. you take that away and you become "professional" wrestling. if yer not cheating, yer not trying hard enough, is not a valid excuse at the amateur level, and frankly, the pro level as well. how some cant seem to grasp this boggles the mind.

none of this will be sorted this current season. if its as bad as it smells like it is, Jimmy will bolt for the NFL ala Pete Carroll from USC and Michigan will be back to the subpar program they were up until the last 2 seasons. Michigan has 90 days to contest any findings, season will be over by then. will be an offseason issue and Michigan will most likely make it to the playoffs this current season, and lose like usual.

Leonard moves zero needles for me. honestly dont know what he brings that we actually need.

stumbled upon JTs analysis vids quite awhile ago. its really good stuff imo. if you need to know why your teams QB/offense played so well, or terrible on a given week, he's the go to for breakdowns. he's also kind of funny at times lol.

you cant sell me on Norman straight off the couch, being better than Elam. Elam showed flashes last season, remember the Chefs game? if Elam cant play zone, and the D runs alot of zone, whos that on? thats on Beane and McD. now i do think Elam is trying too hard atm, trying too hard to impress because hes been relegated to a healthy scratch the majority of the season and its in his head. cmon though, Norman?

i dont buy this at all. why would you invest in a RB who relies on a very good run blocking OLine, when 1, we dont have one, 2 we already have a thumper in Murray, who imo, has played well. just doesnt make sense to me.

lol starting to think the NFL is really scripted, cuz every week, none of it makes any sense. hahahah btw, Mac looks better than Josh right now, and that makes me mad.

hes soooo happy cuz somebody actually got to Josh instead of Josh, you know, making them (Judon) look foolish. Judon has a long history of looking like hot trash against Josh.

lol, imagine if Brady had been slammed down like that while he was playing. its football, but still.

had Diggs caught a ball yet? he owns Jackson, we cant scheme him open?

need a td b4 the half, then get some orange slices at halftime, come out a completely different team 2nd half.

not getting the off schedule plays by Josh. as much as i dont want him to run and take hits, kinda feels like we need it atm.

too early to talk about the next draft?

free runners at the RB. free runners at the QB. cant win games like this.

yep Von has not looked completely right at any point since his return. thinking this is a wasted season for him sadly.
