The DT from the supplemental draft, Ross, who has only played for two years but is a huge freak athlete ended up on the Bengals. Y'all know him? The guy accidentally lit up Jason Campbell in practice today. Apparently the coaches were basically so enthusiastic about his burst they said "HOLY poo poo THAT WAS AWESOME but-seriously-man-don't-hit-the-qb-kthx." A Pale Horse posted:Mike Zimmer seems like he'd be a real pain in the rear end to play for, but its going to be fun reading about him being a cranky old bastard to everyone and anyone. I have literally never heard of a player badmouthing Zimmer in the 5 years he coached for us. CB's actually a good position for the Vikes to be weak in cause Zimmer is amazing at getting iffy corners to play at a high level.

I go on the Bengals website and there are pictures of people with helmets on that weren't taken months ago. When I was a kid I would go pheasant hunting with my uncle. He had this massive, gargantuan white lab named Bobo. He was one of the dogs we'd use. Dog had a great nose but was so enthusiastic you couldn't keep him close to the guns, we'd often see a pheasant take off about 400 yards away. I've never seen a dog more enthusiastic about anything. He kinda sorta knew the route to where we went hunting, and about ten minutes away he would realize where we were going and just get so loving excited. He was so large he couldn't really turn around in his kennel. He never really understood this and so when he realized where he was going his feet would rattle like crazy on the plastic bed of the kennel and he'd run into the walls. He had this high pitched whine that would raise steadily as he banged his dopey head against the walls. All you'd hear was: tapatappat THUNK rheeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE tapaptappatappa rheeeEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEE thuk tappa I feel like that.

pigdog posted:Can't see why not. They upgraded known weak spots at C and second RB, and are loaded at everything else. Of course Dalton can still find ways to lose games, but I'm not seeing any regression. I agree, but their defense should take a step back without Johnson and Zimmer.

Big Ol Marsh Pussy posted:I can't see the drop off from Zimmer to Guenther being too bad but it'll definitely be a downgrade. But I'm really not too broken up about MJ being gone although the team would undoubtedly be better with him. I mean, the defense definitely got worse after Hall and Atkins got hurt but I'm not so sure them being there turns any losses into wins or anything. I've watched three games this past couple of weeks where MJ was the key reason we won. He's a huge omission. The NE game in particular he batted a ton of easy completions and caused pressure every other snap. I like Gillberry a lot and am optimistic re: Hunt. That said, MJ was either the best or second best member of the Bengals defense last year. It was a huge loss.

Yeah, if we're lucky he could be almost as good as Michael Johnson was in 2013 (9 PDEF) or 2012 (11.5 sacks). Dude had more passes swatted down last year than Watt. Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Atticus Finch posted:Yeah Lamur is pretty important to the team. And it sounds more like Boling/Lamur had the fight and AJ was a part of trying to break it up and that's when he was pushed. It's funny partly because Green has been surprisingly durable considering his frame. You'd think he had Percy Harvin's injury history based on how everyone freaks out.

superaielman posted:Dennis Allen legit impresses me with the job he has done coaching the Raiders but yeah, I'm inclined to agree. If the Raiders make the playoffs he deserves coach of the year. If the Raiders make the playoffs he deserves to be appointed god king of Oakland. Edit: Man, 2003 and 2004 when Marv first turned around the Bengals were great, having a laughingstock team turn into an average to good one is so fun.

Right before the 2010 season Carson Palmer bought his O-line a segway each. I got to talk to Bobbie Williams during camp and begged him for video of O-line drills on the segways but apparently their position coach banned them.

Tyler Eifert supposedly has been catching everything in camp. Don't be surprised if he's the #1 in the regular season. Apparently he dominated the targets in a padded practice/mock game.

Cordarrelle Patterson was being covered by Xavier Rhodes all night and Rhodes got the best of him, including a sick leaping interception. Be prepared for your corners to play like they're probowlers regardless of actual ability. That's Zim's calling card.
