When he was on pre-injury he was so so good. Loved him. Now he seems to have little to no discernable impact on games. Many who analyze closely have said he played great against the Broncos. That would be incredible if he saved it all for the post season. When he's on, he makes Oliver, the DE's, and the LBs so much more effective.

Luckily we average 31 points per game this year, if we keep the trend and give up 27 we win by more than a FG!

Or another way to look at it, we traded Diggs for Cooper (virtually no additional cap hit on top of Diggs' dead cap #) and got a pick swap up to 56 from 90+ pretty dang good outcome

Please post any updates or information anyone has surrounding Allen's right thumb nail. I have personally lit candles and will hold vigil in hopes that there is no issue come game time Sunday.

Grable at swing tackle & Van Demark at backup LT is a masterclass of building depth through cheap UDFA/Day 3 traits upside guys to give to a guy like Kromer. Perfect marriage of personnel resource allocation & coaching.

Damn they really just easily replaced Von, huh?

Yeah, Mike White using a roster spot, yeeeeesh

Good point. Coming from Cleveland they'd clearly have unreasonable weather expectations.

Draft 2 320+ lb'ers with our three top 64 picks plzzzz!

My guess is blatantly hold without being flagged, works every time

Bring up 2 OLinemen so none of the top 6 have to play

Maybe save that for the playoffs?

Seriously. The 3 best non-JA QBs - not just in the conference but the entire NFL - in a row just to GET to the super bowl is hardly a reward for getting the #2 seed and posting the 2nd highest point differential in the league, SMDH

Great QB's carve this defense up. If we get down a score or two like when the Bengals quickly went up 14-0, the odds of a comeback start getting long especially if the weather is bad, even with how great Allen is. McD's sphincter starts tightening and it leaves the door open for late game mismanagement. McD has shown an ability to get in rookie QB's heads. Give me Broncos #1 for sure, then Miami (don't like the familiarity factor, they're getting healthier, and one of these days Josh has to have an off day against them), and I want no part of Burrow in a YOLO game if they sneak in.

Don't know anything about Smith, but agree with the sentiment. Kromer has been awesome, and I've thought the same thing that I'd love a similar guy for the DL. DL needs a complete overhaul, and a stud veteran DL coach is where it starts. I'd also love to see us spend two of our three top-64 picks this year on 320+lb long-armed DTs, at least one of which is a stud 1Tech. We need to bring the pain up the middle and unfortuantely DaQuan seems to have lost it (loved him in 2022 & 2023 pre-injury). Ed has his flash moments but until proven otherwise he gets swallowed up & neutralized in the playoffs with his short arms and lighter frame. Some beef at the 1T & 3T would also wear O-lines & RBs out for the 4th quarter, as we've seen our top 5 O-line do to the opposition's DL in reverse. This is a great draft class to upgrade both DT positions for cheap and move on with a fresh start and a new DL coach.

An unholy combo of Steve Young, Brett Favre, John Elway, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Cam Newton.

I loved Diggs when he was in his prime here but he fell off HARD over the second half of last year and is now coming off an ACL. I think part of it was he's not a fit for this scheme, but on top of that he's basically going to be mostly a slot guy that doesn't want to block if and when he comes back fully from this injury. I'd take him at league minimum for a year but I'd honestly probably rather have Mack Hollins plus a day 3 rookie next year instead of Diggs at this point.

yes yes yes do not pay multiple boundary CB's in this system. You can pay Benford on an extension but not both. Just pick 2 with some arm length, tackling ability & zone awareness skills on day 3 this year and at least one will work out.

We drafted the complete stiff Justin Shorter over him 🤣

It most certainly will. The main question is: when it does, can Josh put up 50 for us? Time will tell!

Scoop & score bruh!
