Bill starting to get squashed a bit, for losses even, BRo. Generally never loses yards because he's a bulldozer, I am unsold in bailing on him

Ok given the second half use of Crosky-Merrit, does everyone have it wrong and it is actually C-Rod that is the Redskins starter?

Can’t speak for everyone else, but I think by years end it will be Bill, and maybe sooner than later.

Rewatching the game now. Like what I'm seeing from Bill and Rodriguez. Could be our new 1-2 punch. Deebo's long run was sweet in the 1st half. Dude looked healthy and hungry. Love getting him. Hartman struggling. Great having football again.

I want to reiterate our offense will be good with or without Terry. I want Terry though to play.

The Bengals defense is terrible and their best player is holding out. We 100 percent need Terry for our passing game.

Jayden Daniels would tell you he needs Terry or someone comparable. Lol. Terry brings a dynamic to our offense that nobody else does including Deebo. Jayden is great man, but it takes two to tango.

Patrick Mahomes did ok without Tyreek Hill who is a better receiver than Terry. He actually has already been to 2 Super Bowls without him and won one. We have other guys that can step up if Terry doesn't want to play ball. Hope you are correct that he plays week 1.

Pre season means nothing. We'll see how the offense fairs game 1. These games are garbage.

As much as we all love JD, he's played one season. Kind of unfair to put him up against Mahomes.

We need Terry in the worst way. When teams are game planning against us, w/out him I don't see any deep threats. I don't see anyone who can stretch the field. Maybe the kid from Va Tech can be that guy perhaps.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

Thought the trench play was pretty damn hold on both sides of the ball. Quan Martin looks primed for a good season. John Bates showing why he got that contract. And two RB showing BRob is replaceable.

Thought team showed well

Yeah agree with all this. W or L don’t mean anything in pre season obviously. Im excited for the season to begin. Hope to God its with Terry.

Jayden nearly took his team to the Super Bowl. The Mahomes-Hill citation was simply an example of the qb making the offense being unreliant on 1 wr. We'll see if Jayden has to prove this to everyone this year if Terry doesn't want to play ball.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

We need terry for all cylinders. End of story. Theres countless plays he made last year, clutch as all hell, that as far as we have seen? No one on the roster is making. Deebo isnt scoring that lions screen or the Dallas play, hes not as fast as terry and neither is anyone else on the roster until we have seen otherwise. The guys makes the clutch catches we and jayden need.

Hes not a replaceable jag. Lol @ gallup even in the same text sentence homey just... lol

I suspect Gallup doesn’t make the team. Not hearing about any impact.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

Gallup has shown zero this offseason, no way he even makes the team. The wr dropoff after Terry is huge. Noah Brown is serviceable when healthy, but every catch is contested vs man. Deebo was sorely needed and our 2nd best option, I am glad they've been pushing him on td corner fades to develop his wr chops vs screens, etc. name another WR worthy of starting. You can't. And although Lane has some potential, he is sometimes in the wrong spot, he is a rookie, but against starters that could be a pick six. I would guess he's #4, but any separation with him is minimal. Anyone after them is replaceable. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the rest and picked up a cut wr from another team. I am even starting to think McCafferty is at risk, he has done zero this off season, although he plays special teams well. Another hint is why are they playing kasmir allen at RB? Are they gonna keep 4 RB vs only 5WR? I mean it is possible, but probably not wise. We are really missing zacheus type. I frankly think we will get one soon. The ideal scenario is to swap Brob for a #4WR from another team to help us AND to block any chance he ends up on the cowboys.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

Many here act like out passing game was the 2001 Rams last year with Terry. It was actually average ranking 15th in the entire NFL.

[url]https://www.nfl.com/stats/team-stats/[/url]

Add in Tunsil, Connerly Jr., Deebo, Lane, and others there is room for improvement here that could be realized with or without Terry. To say we cannot be better without Terry when we were average last year is premature. Team sport not individual. Deebo is no slouch at all and can carry the rock unlike Terry. I cannot emphasize enough how much the new tackles will help the passing game. Again, passing game will be fine with or without Terry just better with him. AP knows this.

It would have been much worse without the man you are under valuing. You are not going to win an argument that says our passing game will be fine with or without Terry no matter how many times you try. Lol.

It doesn't matter now.

If Terry is so essential to our team why isn't he signed yet? Because AP knows we'll be ok with or without him. You keep thinking our passing game will suck without Terry. He's a 1,000 yd receiver. Deebo has averaged nearly this amount yearly himself. We have other dudes also. I love Terry and hope he signs but everyone on this board needs to understand he's not Jerry Rice and is replaceable and may just have to be. This is a quarterback driven league not wide receiver.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

With or without him lol, the passing game would drop off a lot IMO and the offense would be worse. They arent giving him what he wants because he is under contract and if he doesnt play thats his choice. The deal has much less to do with how they value him for the team vs. the position he is in/leverage he has.

I am almost hoping Terry holds out for a few weeks just so that it becomes obvious he is needed to all. Lol. Wonder what the argument will be when we are 1-3 and can’t throw the ball downfield?

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

He doesn’t have to be Jerry Rice to make a difference. He is a top 10 wr in the league, and by far our best deep ball wr. In our offense he is essential. Our passing game will SUFFER without him.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

So I got to see this game live and here are my thoughts:

* Deebo's speed is crazy

* As everyone has mentioned it, BRob is done

* I think our offense is going to pick up right where they left off last year

* I was surprised to see Burrow play for so long and he was being harassed by our second string d-line.

* Hartman needs to be cut.

* This was my first post-Snyder era trip to a game and the stadium looks nice.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

[quote=punch it in;1375666]Our passing game will SUFFER without him.[/quote]You don't know that. Again, our passing game was AVERAGE last year. I already you provided you the link validating this. Terry is one portion of many that make up our passing game. Oline significantly upgraded giving more time to throw for JD5. We have a new speedster rookie, a stud wr from SF, and potentially other replacements that can contribute. JD5 will move this ball through the air with or without Terry.

Look at all the great qbs who have won SBs numerous times. Many did it with different receivers.

Patrick Mahomes 3x
Tom Brady 7x
Troy Aikman 3x
Peyton Manning 2x
Terry Bradshaw 4x
Joe Montana 4x

I could name more. Brady is the king of not only SB victories but doing with many different wrs. He actually took a paycut for greatness contrary to Terry's current song and dance.

Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
 

Are we really debating whether our offense will be better with Terry? Of course it will. Sure we have other guys, but he’s our best WR. And even if we were average last year in the passing game and picked up some new toys, it doesn’t mean we won’t benefit from him in the lineup in a significant way.

I get it if the hold in rubs you the wrong way, but it shouldn’t cloud anyone’s judgment about his value to the team.
