One thing in the NFL remains true. When a team has a habit of developing or picking really good players at a position, you should take from then when you can. Here we have the Cincinnati Bengals taking from the Philadelphia Eagles, who often have one of the deeper offensive lines. Even Orlando Brown Jr. spoke highly of the move.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s talented, big and really athletic,\u201d Brown said \u201cIt gives the coaching staff a real good opportunity to develop and work with a guy we liked coming out of the draft and a guy we liked when we saw him this preseason. A combination of that talent, athleticism, and size is somebody we wanted in the program.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to watch how he progresses in the swing tackle competition and if he can carve out a deeper role down the line.<\/p>\n
Harris, 29, came off the practice squad last year in the last 10 games to rack up a machine-like 20 tackles in the kicking game as he led the Bengals to a No. 4 ranking in the Pro Football Focus special teams rankings. That was a year after they finished first under Darrin Simmons, the longest-tenured kicking-game coach in the league.<\/p>\n
It won\u2019t be a surprise to see Cincinnati active Joe Giles-Harris a few times this season just to play special teams. Simmons has been one of the best in the business at turning out guys like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe brought in a lot of the right guys, a lot of the right people with the right mindsets to go and chase this goal of winning a Super Bowl and winning as many games as we can and being the best possible team that we can. I felt it from our D-line. I felt it from our defense. Our offense has the same guys as years past. \u2026 But these veteran guys that we brought in on defense to be able to help our younger guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just as a reminder, Burrow wasn\u2019t giving the team an ultimatum. He just doesn\u2019t want this team to take for granted the opportunity that they have in front of them.<\/p>\n
Trey Hendrickson\u2019s four-year, $112 million deal, for example, is large enough to give the Bengals a third-round compensatory pick in next year\u2019s draft. Volson\u2019s deal, while significantly smaller, was enough to potentially give Cincinnati a seventh-round pick as well.<\/p>\n
Cordell Volsen somehow finding a way to screw over the Bengals another year certainly would be par for the course.<\/p>\n
In a twist from five years ago, Joe Burrow evades Aaron Donald (and Myles Garrett) in the fourth quarter at SoFi Stadium for a game-deciding TD and Cincy\u2019s first Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n
Just an absolutely glorious prediction. It would almost be poetic. Maybe the Rams getting a defensive holding call on Ja\u2019Marr Chase near the end zone as well. To beat another team in their stadium would be so satisfying to watch.<\/p>\n
This outcome is a bit surprising considering the previous one. Although, the Bengals making it as a Wild Card after getting on a hot run would be right up their alley to a Super Bowl run.<\/p>\n
It still seems a little ridiculous that the NFL isn\u2019t starting the season with the Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks. It actually feels a lot like something they\u2019d do if the Bengals won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One thing in the NFL remains true.
