Never change, Bungles. They should have drafted the amazing OT from the PAC 12 that’s grading out in the 30’s all preseason… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid just needs to make a few live catches and get his confidence back up. Alternatively if he drops one or two more he may spiral into a realm of shattered souls from which he never recovers.

They could have gotten Sewell and then Terrace Marshall, who may well end up being better than Chase, early in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals have a very good young LT in Jonah Williams (he just needs to prove he can stay healthy), so I don’t blame them one bit for not wanting to use a top 5 pick on a RT (which is where Sewell would have played here). Terrace Marshall’s medicals would have made me very nervous had we taken him. He could have probably snuck into the first had those reports not come out right before the draft.

If you had drafted Sewell, Johan Williams would have been a RT. And the Bengals have a bottom five OL that got Burrow murdered last year. How you don't think they should have drafted a potentially generational LT is baffling to me. I say this as a Browns fan who saw Baker Mayfield develop some seriously bad habits in 2019 due to a terrible offensive line that got him murdered before Andrew Berry fixed things in 2020 and saw the Browns win 11 games while Mayfield was a top five QB in the back half of the season.

WarGalley Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Much closer game than I thought it would be. I was thinking it would be Tampa by 10 or 13 against a 9 point spread. The pushoff was questionable and I'm a little surprised the officials didn't review it since it was within 2 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Jonah was an absolute stud at Alabama, and faced FAR better pass rushers in the SEC and college playoffs than Sewell ever has. The one and only time Sewell saw a dominant DL in college (Auburn) he struggled. He might end up becoming a great LT in the NFL at some point, but between his age (kid is only 20), and the level of competition he’s played against, he was never going to come in and play there right away on most teams. He’s not going to in Detroit, and he wouldn’t have here. And the “generational” stuff was always overblown. As for the rest of your post, ofc the Bengals needed to dismantle that OL. That’s why Bobby Hart, Michael Jordan (who gave up more pressures than any other OG in the league last year), and most importantly of all - - Jim Turner - - are all gone. Now, I would have liked them to do a little more in FA, but Reiff is a solid OT, and Jackson Carman and D’Ante Smith were both nice picks. I’m actually super high on the latter. Also, Frank Pollack is a really good OL coach. Other than Bill Callahan (still pissed you guys got him), there’s not many other guys I’d rather have.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 @Nictarion, I think bigger picture, given how many pieces your team needs, going WR that high was a bad idea. I would have traded back several times to get as many top 100 picks as possible to revamp your depleted roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the offers might not have been there (especially after 3 QB’s had already come off the board). But at the end of the day I just can’t fault them much for wanting to reunite Burrow and Chase. They produced the best college season of all time together. It’s not like it was just any old QB/WR duo they were trying to put back together. Personally, I said all along I’d be happy with any of Sewell, Chase, or Pitts. The only thing I didn’t really expect was how good Tee Higgins looks now. He came into TC looking like a completely different player. And he was already pretty damn good last year anyway. But he looks like a true #1 right now. Had they known that maybe they wouldn’t have taken Chase to replace AJ Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if Grier and Flores are actually going to make this shit work. Loved the trade back. Hated the trade back up. But if Waddle is at least as good as Chase and esp if Sewell is only decent then decent job this year. Though I still wonder if they had 6 year contracts if they'd trade back up for waddle. I mean if youre in a toss up between a wr named swift or one named waddle who is more likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Game was more competitive than I expected. Dak looked good, which has got to be a big relief for Dallas fans. But even with Dak looking sharp AND the Bucs secondary getting injured AND good bounces resulting in 3 turnovers, they still couldn't steal the win. If they play the Bucs in the playoffs, I doubt they'll be so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
