You are putting a lot of opinion on a very very small sample size.... especially since the actual starting 5 haven't played yet...  guarantee Lewis goes week 1.

We are running 4 of the starting 5 on the OL.  Which makes it basically a run of the mill normal NFL Sunday because rarely are you running your ideal group all season. 

BY’s offenses actually have a huge sample size.   And this one is checking all the boxes for a 3peat start

The Andy Dalton injury was huge 

The coaching staff cannot properly evaluate any offensive skill position player with Jack Plummer, who will not be on the team in 2 weeks 

Plummer has been our best QB today.

It’s roster malpractice.  They don’t want any QB talent on the roster that would lead to fans making noise about them down the road

I will say, Etienne s cut earlier looked fantastic.  That’s a talented RB there.  And then of course, it was negated by a hold.

He's been really the only positive today. If I split hairs, maybe Etienne was a positive. Thornton was solid last week as well 

Etienne has definitely flashed. Sam Roberts as well imo. Ransom and Richardson are showing well for young guys but one of them needs to separate themselves from the other & Nick Scott.

I actually think it is one of the seven levels of hell.

We are looking at another 30+ to 10 preseason blowout loss. This isn’t acceptable. We’re not competing. 
 

Both Bryce and Canales are on the clock, and I’m not confident in either.

Seeing DL next to the reporters is always a hilarious reminder for how massive these dudes are.

[Bear Hands]

Haven’t been watching but the box doesn’t look good. Hope we’re just draining out the suck. 

One can hope

[TylerDurden]

Damn, Etienne made a great first cut, but then he had the outside and tried to cut back in.  Great feet though.

[Icege]

I didn't realize ARob led DTs in tackles last season.

Gonna be so much better seeing ARob-BB3-DB instead of ARob-Tuttle-Ray as the starting DL.

Until convinced otherwise I think David Tepper is still pushing behind the scenes. He and Dan Morgan want so badly to save face for the trade up for Bryce Young. To enter camp with absolutely no competition at any level in the QB room is simply beyond the pale for this franchise.
