Sources tell me the Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to trade receiver John Ross and will field offers during the combine. We'll have more tonight during our podcast.

Agree completely.
It would really help to upgrade our Oline a few notches before the playoffs. Everyone saw what happened when our interior guys started run blocking in the Buffalo game. It makes such a huge difference. A reliable running game would relieve the pressure on Mahomes.
Improved Oline blocking could make Mahomes and Bell a league-leading backfield combo. CEH is good but Bell in his prime was elite. He could take a basic running lane opening and turn it into a 50-yard touchdown run. [Reply]

I'm not disagreeing with you but Wilson looked pretty good against Buffalo. The best i've seen him in a long time. He was very physical and played sideline-to-sideline. [Reply]

Both Hitchens and Wilson have been playing better since about halftime of the Raiders game. They seem to be pissed off and that's a good thing.
Unfortunately, money is gonna be an issue, especially with Hitchens. Gonna have to keep drafting well and backfilling. [Reply]

Was it Hitchens or Wilson that body slammed that guy in the Buffalo game? I like seeing that, shows intensity that we really need. Same goes for Fisher's double pancake block play. :-) [Reply]

That was Hitchens.
Wilson was the one that made the stonewall stop on 3rd and short, which was even more impressive IMO. [Reply]
