Cincy broadcaster clowing on Gamble.

I’m not sure if Cincinnati rookies Andy Dalton and A.J. Green are going to be the NFL’s next great quarterback and receiver or if Carolina cornerback Chris Gamble is totally washed up.

GambleI’m leaning toward the latter after watching Gamble get beat badly twice by Green in Carolina's 24-13 loss in Thursday night’s exhibition game. It got so bad that Cincinnati broadcaster Anthony Munoz joked that Gamble was seen being escorted to the locker room to have aloe applied to his burns.

Awful. But then again i thought the insult was earned. Gamble was a embarassment to every vet corner in the NFL last night. He picked a awful season when we have no number 2 corner to say"hey coach i might be washed up".

I got to watch it yesterday with the Cincy broadcasters. Definitely heard that statement. Another one that he made was that he was loving seeing majority of Panther players on the ground after each play (said this while we were on D). Insinuating that the Bengals Oline was manhandling not only the DL but LB as well.

has gamble really ever been all that great though? He looked good at Ohio State but has never turned into that player i hoped he would be when drafted. You could more than likelyt replace him with an average corner and not notice any drop off in production except having much less to pay in salary.

His first 2 or 3 years in the the league he was. After that, not so much.

would there be a way that some team could be stupid enough to trade for this dud? i mean if he is gonna get toasted every damn play for 3 years straight anyhow why not put in somebody you only have to pay a minimum too? Heck, im pretty sure my grandma could cover better than this guy these days.

there wasn't much I could say to back up Gamble.. dude shouldn't have been torched on both of those plays.

Gamble looked like a fool when Green caught that pass out of bounds.. no way that should have happened, help over the top or not..

the TD score was just as bad.. dude was right there to make a play, but got burnt instead...

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
