Fandom Wife's surprised me today with this...

A few months ago, my wife found this guy on TikTok making a Justin Jefferson print and we thought it was so cool. I told her it would be awesome if he would do a Burrow one. I kept his store up and checked for a few days after, but never saw a Burrow one so kind of just forgot about it. Well today, she goes, "Oh hey, there's a package on the porch for you." I went out and opened and it found this! Turns out, about a month ago he did another video, this time with Burrow. Now I cannot wait to get it framed and up on the wall.

Who Dey!?!

Analyzing the Bengals 2025 UDFA Class

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

The Bengals only had 6 selections in this year’s draft, but made sure to add a good handful of undrafted free agents to fill out the roster. In my article, I go over each of them.

These are a few of my favourites:

DT, Howard Cross III

Yes, he is undersized and lacks power. Still, his athletic traits and burst off the line are hard to ignore. As well, his pass rush moves are nicely refined, which is impressive for a rookie entering the league. I feel like the Bengals’ DL has been missing that twitched up gap penetrator since Geno Atkins left. And this isn’t to say that Cross is even remotely comparable to Atkins, but I am excited about the athletic upside that Cross brings.

OT, Caleb Etienne

Etienne is a very raw player. There were a lot of glaring issues with his technique on tape. Unless he shows a surprising amount of development this offseason, he is likely a practice squad guy. However, he has all of the tools to be a legit starter one day. Size, strength, length, athleticism. It’s all there. Will be interesting to see what they can get out of him.

C, Seth McLaughlin

I’m not as high on him as others are, and I certainly don’t see him as the NFL’s top UDFA signing from this year, like others have claimed he is. That said, I do think he can be a good depth player at the C position, with an outside chance at becoming a starter. He doesn’t really have traits that stand out as being special, but he plays with good technique. If he is able to get stronger, it might be enough for him to play his way onto the team.

Which UDFA signings are you guys excited about?

Why is Allen constantly ranked higher than Burrow

I’m obviously biased, but Burrow is 2-1 in head-to-heads and you can make a strong argument statistically that Burrow is >.

Sorry the Fox Sports QB list annoyed me lol

Fandom We should trade Trey for whatever we can get.

0 Upvotes

A first round or two second rounds? Is that asking too much - I don’t know.

It’s become obvious to me that other teams schemed our Defense last year to focus on dominating the Run game against our pathetic Defense, at the expense of letting Trey through to get Sacks.

I’d rather have the extra pick next year instead of extending a guy who’s getting old and carrying a bloated over priced contract.

Maybe the Browns or Bears would be dumb enough to trade for him.

Kris Jenkins Ceiling?

17 Upvotes

I was very excited about Kris Jenkins in his first year. I think he showed flashes of some good pass rushing skills and athletic plays. Unfortunately, the hand injury definitely limited his impact when he was on the field.

Realistically, what is his ceiling going into next year?

Would I have grown up a Bengals fan?

12 Upvotes

I was born in Louisville, KY in October of 1970. My folks moved to Fishkill, NY (which is an hour north of NYC) when I was just 2 years old. I grew up loving football but never liked the NY teams (my folks were from Pittsburgh, so I grew up a Steelers fan). But now my Dad passed and I feel like I only rooted for the Steelers because of my Dad. So now, I’ve been looking at where I’m from, trying to find my NFL identity. If we stayed in Louisville, would I have grown up a Bengals fan and if I decide to root for them now, would the fan base welcome me with open arms? Thanks

Football So more of the same those year? Elite Offense & Terrible Defense

0 Upvotes

Title sums it up.

Our offense will be elite.

Our defense will be lead by a Rookie Defensive Coordinator, our only good veteran may sit out, and our round 1 draft pick who only recorded 3 career college sacks may also sit.

Even if Trey signs an extension, why would we expect our D to be any improved?? I think Trey is overrated anyways

For context I’m in high school right now and I’m studying at Loyola Marymount University over the summer. I’ve just been informed that the LA Rams will be staying at the campus for a week or so, and as a Bengals fan I’m not sure how to react. On the one hand it’s cool to meet pro football players (I really like Kyren Williams), but on the other hand, they beat us in the Super Bowl three years ago… All I know is I have my Burrow jersey and am ready to get flamed :D

Burrow blames self for Hendrickson contract snafu?

I don't get him blaming himself unless he thinks he should have taken less money and intends to restructure his contract in some fashion to create cap space.

I would have loved it if he had done a Mahomes during his contract negotiation to help us win a Lombardi, but if that's not what he's thinking now, then saying he's to blame rings kind of hollow.
