Sucks he won’t get no preseason reps

Long live Ken Riley.

 

[Mandizi]

This Tycen Anderson cat at safety is earning his keep with 2 picks tonight. We'll need that type of production in our revamped secondary.

Ken Riley never played defensive back until he started playing in the NFL and ended up becoming a hall of famer. Very impressive

Joe Burrow returned to practice on Wednesday, a week and a half ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals' Week 1 contest against the Cleveland Browns.

Would love to see him behind center for the opener, but hopefully he doesn't risk coming back too soon either. Gotta think long-term.

"The deal makes Burrow the new highest-paid player in NFL history on an annual basis with an average salary of $55 million per year."

Now that we got that distraction out of the way, let's win our 3rd straight divisional crown and get back to the big game in February!

Ain't never seen creh cheese that hard, happy for him though.

Burrow is rusty and lacking chemistry from another limited offseason. I think the offense will be okay once Burrow finds his groove in the next weeks.

We gonna see offense line gotta get in sync too. Gotta stop the bull rushes of garret dude just using speed and power good to get film on but gotta make adjustments cause we still got TJ watt down the line and roquan smith.
