    He’s Iosivas may not have gotten as many targets as those other guys but he caught 15 balls and 4 of them were TD’s. That’s about a quarter. So 1/4 of his catches were TDs. That is insane. Insanely good!

    i'm coming over from Australia and have got tickets to the first 2 games this season!!!! will be my first time in US and first ever NFL games. Will be handy not having to wake up at 3am to watch the games for a change!!! hopefully we dont start slow this year!

    I feel like Yoshi might just become a stud!
  • @stevenhead7593
    Boomer’s play action with Stanley Wilson got us to a Super Bowl. A thing of pure beauty, you never knew Boomer still had the ball😀
  • Competition for WR snaps is going to be brutal and should bring out the best in them. Yoshi's blocking will get him on the field if nothing else
  • I think you guys were pretty hard on their rookie production. I’m not shocked that they had limited rookie production behind Jamaar, Tee and TB. They were always succession plans behind those guys so they didn’t have to come in and be expected to immediately contribute. Of course it’s a big prove it year for them now because they will have more opportunities this year, but I was more encouraged by them than you guys were.

    Chuck Sizzle took one to the house last year
  • @ShawnRickman
    Thanks for answering my question on Twitter X about Sizzle. I hope he balls out this year. Great show guys.

    I'm hoping Offense & Defense can feed off each other a little better.

    If Burrow gets the play action going he is going to dominate this year. I’m an optimist by nature. I am EXTREMELY optimistic about this year. I think the Bengals are the 1 seed and Burrow wins league MVP AND Super Bowl MVP. 1st team All Pro for Burrow and Chase. Tee Higgins makes the Pro Bowl and ups his value even more. Sam Hubbard finally reaches 10 sacks in the regular season. In 2021 he had over 10 but only 7.5 in the regular season. I think Chase Brown is going to play great. I think Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai are going to be great. It’s also a contract year for Cam Sample. I think Burton is going to hit the ground running and have 50 catches and 800+ yards. I think Trent Brown will play the first 13-14 games. I’m not predicting that he plays 20 games though. At some point Mims will have to step in and I think it will be a seamless transition. I think we won’t recognize Volson this year. I think he is going to be so much improved that we won’t recognize him. I think Kris Jenkins will have a big year and add about 3’sacks. I think MnKinnly Jackson will probably get off to a rough start but about mid season as he gets stronger he will start to look a like a third round pick. I think he is going to be a great player. Maybe even better than Reader is. I think the secondary is going to be a lot better this year. DJ Turner has close to a year of experience and CTB is going to play at a Pro Bowl level like he did last year. I think Dax Will get outside CB snaps and slot snaps and put in to cover all these great TEs we will be playing. If I’m the Bengals I add Tre Flowers. He has played here before and knows the system. He is 6’3’’ 200 lbs and has 33 inch arms. We don’t have a CB as long as he is. I would bring him back for backup if nothing else. He can start if need be too. Either Flowers or Apple. I would bring one of them Back.

    Charlie Jones is 5’11 3/8’’ tall. With cleets on he is 6’ 188 lbs. he ran a 4.43 and his 10 yard split is faster than Jamar Chases is.
  • @NathanDean79
    Just based on what I saw last night and in college I think Myles Murphy will be a double digit sacks guy. Also I expect Sam Hubbard to finally cross the 10 sack threshold. And Sam gets a lot of pressures every year too James. He isn’t just a run stopper. He had 8.5 sacks his second year and in 2021 he had 7.5 in the regular season and 3.5 in the playoffs. That’s pretty dam good.
  • I think our wide outs will step up this year and I also think #99 is ready they say he will be in better shape this year to 💪🏾💪🏾
  • @DB-sd5qw
    _ Yoshi gonna break out this season!!! Dude reminds me of TJ!!!
  • @NathanDean79
    The Bengals need to go ahead and pay Evan McPherson. He has been phenomenal this far in his career. He was a steal in the 5th round. I don’t think people realize how critical that you have a kicker who can perform under pressure. How many games did even win us in 2021? I know in game 1 of that year he kicked the game winning field goal. I would sign McPherson up to a 4-5 year deal and give him a nice signing bonus of 3 or 4 million or so. And also I would give Cal Adomitis an extension too. 3-4 years for him. He has been absolutely flawless. I would give him about a million dollar signing bonus too. Happy players play better. And you can’t find a kicker and a long snapper as good as Cal and Evan. You just can’t. They are the best. Cal is so good it’s amazing someone didn’t use a 7th round pick on him. He was 1st Team All American at Pitt. He was the best in the country. And I don’t know who the backup long snapper is now. It used to be Mitch Wilcox I would train either Drew Sample or Tanner Hudson how to do it. You need backups for ever position. Say we lost our punter then Evan couple do it. If not Logan Wilson could punt the ball. He was his teams Punter and safety all through HS and even punted some at Wyoming. I would have him practicing that occasionally. If 2022 taught me anything it’s that when your long snapper goes down you are fucked. We need someone who can do it at least a little bit. Wilcox Wasn’t terrible at it but if that snap on that field goal had not been so high we win that game against the Steelers.
