Cleft Crusty: Post Bengals Preseason Game Mock Chat

[mraynrand]

HI folks, sorry I was delayed, but the game is delayed by bad weather, and my (non-surgical) knee is killing me with the arthritis, so it took a while to get from the press box down to where the JS has it's phone modem hooked up. In any case, I'll begin answering you're questions as only I know how. I may take a break to watch the rest of the game (such as it is being called) should the officials be insane enough to restart it. So fire away.

Did Hawk play against the Bengals starters or did he only play against the Bengals second and third teamers?

I think that MM and TT is secretly throwing this game, just to lull the rest of the league into a false sense of security. That can only explain this display - what do you think.

In all seriousness, AJ really gets engulfed by blockers, hopefully he will learn to shed a bit better.

Hawk was in from the first snap, and proceded to get walked back 6 yards by the Bengal's massive LT on the first (running) play

who was worse, ferguson or Rod gardner?

What does it mean when your $11mil corner can't cover the oppossing teams #2?

I think you have as much possibility of being right as of Mike McCarthy being the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll. The obvious answer is that the Bengals have been accumulating top picks for several years now and are loaded with proven talent. The Packers probably don't have a receiver that could get above #4 on Cincinnati's depth chart.

Can we use superglue on the receiver's hands to catch Favre passes - in all seriousness - what was up with all the drops?

Hey Crusty, is time to trade AROD? 2/6 for 7 yards against 3rd team.

You paid too much. Or, it's a meaningless preseason game, and some veterans are just making sure they don't get injured. If you want to be optimistic about the Packer's D, i suggest you choose answer 'B'

[b bulldog]

dON'T YOU THINK THAT PICKING #2 is being way optimistic in regards to Woodson?

as he walked HAWK back he said ...

" How's married LIFE.. Hot Dog ?? "

What do you think you could get for him? A sixth round pick? If you are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and you just showed off your lousy QB, how can you ask for anything for him? Perhaps you could get a roll of tape, or a Gatorade container, but probably not much else. Of course, with his 'pornstache' you might get a fyer from some ambitious filmmaker.

Can you say Brady Quinn?
