Idk man our C situation has been an absolute roller coaster of disappointment for a long time now, and I think linderbaum might end up so far ahead of all other Cs that it’s justifiable.

When a line has that stalwart C on it directing blocking assignments and paving the way, your line will be at least solid

So glad we aren’t dealing with the Bozeman caliber replacement level players at the position anymore

and to see him up there with Humphrey in run block win rate, who I was a big fan of in the '21 draft, is great to see.

Center is the most underrated position in football. A great one is invisible, but if you have a bad one nothing goes right on the offense. Even if it's unnoticed a great center will make the whole line far better than what it would be otherwise.

Ofcourse i was gonna say safeties but then i thought about marshal yanda and no matter who we had at center and rt, he always made them look good, especially our right tackles. If we can get a taste of that from linderbum, that would be cool

Wait till he doesn't need help from Zietler. Guy will be the best in the league.
 
Right now there are 3 wild card spots being fought for by the Bills, the Jets, the Bengals, and the Chargers. I'd really like to keep the Bengals out of the playoffs. We gotta take care of business against them

So I signed up for Twitter this summer, which i figured whas a terrible idea but thought it might be fun to give it a go. I wanted to provide some feedback/here your thoughts.
  1. Why are so many people hellbent on being a dick? Not everything has to be a 280-character zinger. Like calm down yall, most of you will be lucky to get 10-20 views on a tweet, relax.
  2. I have never seen so many people use a platform to complain about the very platform they are using. There is an option not to partake.
  3. Even when I curtailed my profile to the things I wanted to see like sports/fitness/parenting/history/ etc....it always seemed to suggest some political or controversial post that I have no desire to partake. Any way to stop that, or am I forever doomed to see some sassy senator reply to some other senator, neither of which cares about improving our lives?
I appreciate getting information so quickly(the little bit that is factual on there), but I think alot of people in the world would be better off deleting that shit. At least on sites like this, we all have a shared bond and somewhat of a relationship.

For item #3, if you "follow" certain sports personalities, and they follow politicians/politics, you'll start seeing those posts.
For example, I follow JLC for potential NFL news, and he's constantly retweeting, liking, etc. political posts. A staunch liberal for sure. Because of that, I frequently see political posts because a person that I followed is following those.

There's a button on the right you can click that will basically say "show me this less" and it will.

Twitter is valuable for getting info quickly. I use it for sports news, fantasy news, sports betting, etc. I think I follow maybe a half dozen people. Posting or entering into any sort of an attempt at an intelligent argument on Twitter is completely useless.

Will depend on how it shakes out. It's week 18 on the road. If we've locked up the division (which I hope we would have by then) and can't get the #1 seed, we really won't have much to play for. And I'm not playing a lot of my starters the whole game just to fuck over a division rival.
 
Another thought. If Bozeman had accepted his offer from us last season, we never would've had Linderbaum

not necessarily. We didn't offer him much and Bozeman would have provided good depth at center and guard. Would have also been in competition to start at guard. The money we offered Bozeman ended up going to Mekari.

Who are we taking with arizonas pick then? Jermaine Johnson? Devonte Wyatt? Karlaftis? Christian watson? The thought of jermaine johnson and then later on taking Pickens instead of ojabo is fun. I think ojabos got that dog in him though and we might have a major steal on our hands, and it’s already obvious that’s the case with linderbaum

Definitely true. I think the schedule is easier for the Chargers than the Bengals and I expect them to miss the playoffs on their own.

Yeah more likely is Bozeman is the starting LG and Powers probably gets traded or is depth.

And the media is doing crazy. Cowherd has the Bengals as the 4th best team in the league. Has SF at number 3. The Bengals are not scrubs, but they're not the 4th best team in the league. The media is just in love with Joe Burrow and I want to punch him in his smirky face

I don’t even dislike burrow, but any perennially losing fanbase who sees one season of success has a huge problem remembering where they come from, they think one season of winning means they’ll dominate the next decade. Their fanbase needs to learn what we’ve already learned, success doesn’t come automatically just because you got some good players.
