@JoeGoodberry
I have to replace my bengals mug. Any chance you plan on doing something similar to this design but with people like Big Willie, Dillon and Chad?
I love the stripes and the general design. It would be even cooler if it had the players I grew up rooting for.
@geoffschwartz In the article Coach Robert Saleh is quoted as saying he loves joint practices but only 1 per team. He says the 2nd day is when problems happen. Do you agree?
From a scouting perspective, @BigWillie7179 projected as one of the premier offensive tackle prospects in college football, possessing a rare combination of prototype size, outstanding length, functional strength, balance, technique, football intelligence, toughness, and durability
At @AuburnFootball, he started 36 consecutive games while earning First-Team All-SEC (1994, 1995), Consensus First-Team All-American (1995), the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the SEC’s top offensive lineman, and later recognition on the SEC All-Decade Team (1990s) before being selected 10th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1996 NFL Draft
On film, Anderson consistently displayed the traits NFL evaluators covet at offensive tackle. In pass protection, he won with outstanding length, smooth footwork, balance, body control, a powerful anchor, and technically sound hand usage to neutralize both speed and power rushers
His patience, leverage, recovery ability, and football intelligence allowed him to stay square, protect the edge, and rarely lose positioning. As a run blocker, he generated movement with lower-body power, heavy hands, leverage, and functional strength while consistently sustaining blocks, creating displacement at the point of attack, climbing efficiently to the second level, and finishing with a physical yet controlled temperament
Those traits translated seamlessly to the NFL, where Anderson became one of the league’s premier right tackles during a 13-year career, including 12 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and one with the Baltimore Ravens. He started 184 of 195 career games, earning four consecutive Pro Bowl selections (2003–2006), three consecutive First-Team All-Pro honors (2004–2006), a place on the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, and induction into the Cincinnati Bengals Ring of Honor (2022)
1996 NFL Combine Measurements & Testing:
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 324 lbs
Arm Length: 35⅛”
Hand Size: 11¼”
40-Yard Dash: 5.28
10-Yard Split: 1.88
20-Yard Split: 3.09
Bench Press: 20 reps
Vertical Jump: 23”
Broad Jump: 8’1”
His elite combination of size, length, leverage, balance, functional strength, technique, football intelligence, consistency, toughness, durability, and competitive temperament allowed his traits to translate seamlessly from Auburn to the NFL, where he established himself as one of the premier offensive tackles of his generation
Congratulations to these 2 legends who gave their all to @Bengals. I still wanna use this time to say to our Bengals owners “ Please reconsider next year’s plan of only putting 1 player per year in the Ring of honor! So many men are deserving and we want them to be here to receive this great honor you have created for former guys! Let’s start a petition to the organization! Send this message to ownership please if you know them! They’re doing a great job with this but we need more than 1. #Whodey
NEW Pass Pro Lab: Ted Karras
The Bengals center joined me to break down his pass-protection tape and discuss the coaching, preparation and technique behind a 10-year NFL career & counting.
We covered Dante Scarnecchia, staying square, handling twists, helping guards and his weekly film-study process.

@Andrew_Russell7 It can’t all be about intent, sometimes you have to punish recklessness like last nights red card.
The Kane penalty confused me, didn’t seem like the guy he kicked was playing the ball while Kane clearly was.
