Any inside scoop on Jermaine Burton being a key role?

[@mikewilliams-jw8jd]

He kinda implied that if chase is playing that Burton might not even dress

[@HomerSimpson-os4iv]

It seems like the team views him as being at/near the bottom of the WR room. Seemingly for the way he performs, or doesn't perform, in the meeting rooms and locker room, not necessarily his on-field performance. Perhaps they simply don't think he has a full grasp of the offense and his responsibilities. Perhaps it's behavioral reasons that they're being more reserved with him. Unless you're in the meetings you'll never really know.

[@heathswinson6506]

Hope to see the TEs all getting some snaps. Any predictions on which rookie tight end will be better?

[@tmartin8888]

My primary concern about the Bengals is: Can the Bengals consistently stop the run? The North revolves around the run game, even in today’s NFL. Because Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both built to run the ball, control time of possession, and play great defense, same as always since time immemorial. I feel good about our starters at edge and on the d line, although they are older units. If they can’t stop the run and get off the field, we’re exposed with guys like Zack Carter and Kris Jenkins, Jr and Joseph Ossai and especially Cedric Johnson being forced to provide snaps so the starters can get spelled. I like Jenkins and Ossai, but one is a rookie playing in the AFC North and the other has been unavailable his first few years due to injury. Carter and Johnson are liabilities against starting level NFL offensive lines and RBs, at least for now in Cedric’s case. So can the starters, Trey, Sam, Rankins, and BJ stop the run effectively and force three and outs and get off the field? I don’t know. Sheldon Rankins is more effective rushing the passer than stopping the run, always has been. I think the Bengals are hoping that between Rankins, Jenkins, and eventually McKinnley Jackson, they have an answer for the departure of DJ Reader. I’m not sure I agree, we’ll have to see. We have to win the North and to do that we have to stop the run.

[@bigj6143]

Let me put this Chase contract and it's importance in the right perspective. Without Joe Montana or Steve Young, you would not hear that much about Jerry Rice. Many decent receivers that played with either Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, went elsewhere in free agency and what happened to them? Tyreek Hill is the only one who left KC and went to Miami and had success. Of course, not like he had with the Chiefs and their Super Bowls. Look at Davante Adams, when he left Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay his production with the Raiders went where? When the Steelers had a choice to pay Big Ben, LaVeon Bell, or Antonio Brown, who did they keep? Is anyone getting the picture? I like Chase, that is until he decided to no longer fulfill his contract with TWO years left on it. Without Burrows a year ago, within the division especially, Chase neither played an entire season or was any sort of REAL factor. Seems to me he missed time late in the season and Higgins picked up the slack and helped Browning out. Need to start thinking wins and not just individual players who are STILL under contract. Here's an idea, the players need to start thinking of their team also. The league needs to start encouraging this. Stop backing players who are under contract, stop sticking your face into things like franchises in Denmark or Germany or wherever Commissioner. So sick of integrity that is based on nothing but MONEY with a bunch of under educated spoiled brats who without sports would be a Janitor at some Middle School in the projects. You podcasters on here, the Drew Sample fans, if I have just said anything that isn't true prove it.

[@kingsimba1605]

@@johnkammer4754 I don't think its him really being a team wrecker. There's football and there's business. This is the business side of football that while it's frustrating for us fans to sit and wait to see how things unfold, Ja'marr and the Bengals will get this figured out and Chase will be on the field. He will be a team wrecker to everyone else's team putting up monster numbers.

[@Montrovantis]

@@johnkammer4754 Yep, he would have been up on the trading block 2 weeks ago if this were my team. Nobody is bigger than the team and certainly not just another WR. Chases ego far exceeds his presence and production. The organization doesn't need that and they would be foolish to extend him this year. Fine him until he plays or misses the season. Lose an accrued season. Do it again next year. Then franchise tag him for 2 years and then let him walk if nobody wants to trade for him. Trade him, let him be someone else's problem and find a solution for him.

The front office has 5 to 6 years to spread out Chase's payments. Just maybe they can bring over Tee and Trey Hendrickson to boot. If management signs him now they save money in the long-run.

[@asandman354]

What exactly would they talk about? Jamar isn’t talking about it. The Bengals aren’t talking about it. There is no new news to even report on regarding Chase’s contract. There are, however, 52 other players on the team that influence whether the Bengals succeed. But shame on the commentators for not focusing incessantly on strictly one player! 🙄

The Bengals have way more explosive weapons than they ever had since Burrow has been on the team and the O-line is the best Burrow has had the defense is 100 times better than last year I don't think they lose to the Patriots it might be close at first but by the end of the game the Bengals will beat them by at least 14
