Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Draft Edition with @MeganSlayer

I couldn’t let the draft go by without checking for quotes and I wasn’t let down. Not a bit. These guys really need to think before they speak. Ha! But it’s a boon for me and my readers. But before I forget, John Ross for the Bengals.  I’m for the pick. Yes. Who Dey!!!

Now, about those quotes…

“He’s got get-off and burst.” 

Hee hee. Hopefully he doesn’t make a mess, too.

“Dominating physical presence.”

He’s a big guy. He’d better be dominating.

“Creating separation with power.”

Because anything less is uncivilized.

“He loves tight ends; loves receivers.”

Enough said.

“Finds the hole and fills it.”

Probably what he’s supposed to do. It’s appreciated.

“He can’t carry a major load.”

Because it’s already spent.

“Quick and responsive.”

Better than slow and lazy.

“He’s got the arm; he’s got the athletic ability…but can he be competitive in the pocket?”

That’s up to him. If he can use what he’s got, then he’s fine. If not, then they’ve got issues.

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Wild Card Week

Well, we’re not playing, so I can at least enjoy the game. Would’ve been better with the Bengals playing, but it happens. I wish the Giants would’ve done better, as well as the Raiders and the Dolphins, but it happens. I’ve gotten used to resigning myself this season. Hopefully 2017 will be better.

Since it’s that time…let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“the protection up front is working.”

Always good to have working protection.

“He’s got it up the middle.”

Better than going to one side or the other.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“You have to get deeper than that.”

At least make them feel it.

 “An excellent pick-up.” 

When you’ve got the right one, you’ve got the right one.

“Found a hole and stuffed it.”

What else are you supposed to do with that hole?

“3 big bodies in the middle.”

Because they like to be sandwiched by the smaller ones.

“looking for a spark.”

Better to have one than not. Makes the whole situation more pleasurable.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“He’s good for 14.”

Meaning he can last for that long. 14 turns. Nice.

Thanks for reading and please check out the other posts from the rest of the week.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Week 12 (on time, too!) with @MeganSlayer

So… the game versus the Eagles was better than I’d expected. We actually looked like a team and not just a mishmash of bodies on the field. It’s a real big deal. Go Bengals!

Since it’s that time…let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“Can get it into really tight windows.”

Is that what we’re calling breaking in the newbs these days?

“Such a match-up when you can spread that defense that much.”

He knows his stuff and how to use it.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“the pound king.”

Sounds the way it is. He loves his pounding.

 “really slinging tonight.” 

It wasn’t called free and easy night for nothing.

“quick release time.”

That’s code for finishing early.

“a real match-up nightmare.”

Well, he’s the pound king. He’s not made for everyone.

“Can split ’em out wide.”

They don’t call him the king for nothing.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“Makes him finish in his face.”

That’s his kink. Gotta keep ’em happy.

Thanks for reading and please check out the other posts from the rest of the week.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Week 10 … really late

Oh… gracious. It’s not been a fun few weeks for the Bengals. They’ve played hard, but it isn’t showing up as wins. Boo. Keep the faith, right? Sigh.

Since it’s that time…let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“took it deep.”

Better than a rim job…unless that’s what was wanted.

“stuffed it.”

Since it’s deep, stuffing sounds about right.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“his ball…flows a bit.”

He’s a flopper.

 “he has big hands.” 

And he knows how to use them.

“wants to feel the leather.”

But how? Paddle? Cat O’Nine Tails? Details, people!

“Cuts the ball in the wind.”

Better than the cheese.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“He got so much penetration…wow.”

Whatever works.

Thanks for reading and please check out the other posts from the rest of the week.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Week 10

We’re part of Monday Night Football. I’m hoping we go against type and pull this one out. Honestly, they don’t do well in prime time. That doesn’t mean I don’t have faith. I do.

Go Bengals!

Since it’s that time…let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“a good little stunt inside.”

Don’t insult the man’s junk.

“came in and loses it.”

When you’re not big, it can happen.

“inital pressure.”

Well, maybe he was good to begin with and lost it. You don’t know.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“Quite a battle. I say let ’em play.”

It’s all part of the experience.

 “Devastating block.” 

That’s what happens when you play. You can get burned.

“too much time in the hole.”

As long as you’ve got enough lube, there’s no such thing as too much time in the hole.

“Four tight ends in a row.”

For better selection, of course.

“One of the better stiff arms you’ll ever see.”

He said no. Deal with it.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“Spread ’em out in that formation and you saw what happened.”

He gets his pick and it makes him happy. Everyone wins.

Thanks for reading and please check out the other posts from the rest of the week.

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Week 6

Well, we stink. No, I take that back. It’s not been the easiest season for the Bengals this year. Oh well. We’ll get there. To cheer me up, let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“Some gaping holes.”

Waiting to be filled.

“They’ve got the deepest penetration.”

Then send them to the gaping holes.

“Got it off.”

Must’ve found the gaping holes.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“Penetration and making plays.”

He’s a player and he’s going to do so.

 “Gang tackle.”

On the guy making plays and penetrating?

“Release out players.”

Out from under the puppy pile would be a good thing.

“Swim and whiff.”

Um… sure? Not sure what this has to do with football.

“After the initial release to get back on top.”

 He wriggled out from the pile and hopped back on. He wasn’t done.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“Waits for his tight end to open up.”

Gotta love a man with patience. He’s a caring soul.

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ Week 5 (A whole lot late)

Well… the Cowboys gave it to the Bengals good. Sadly. Sigh.

To cheer me up, let’s get to the funnies.

There are Honorable Mentions from last week–like always–so…here we go…

“They’ve gotta pull out.”

 Or there could be trouble.

“Put the meat out front.”

So we can see what we’re buying.

“All of the penetrating.”

If he’s got the meat, the let him have at it.

Okay, time for the Quotes of the Week. These are a real rip. Always!

“So much penetrating in the back.”

‘Cause there’s a party in the front .

“Then you expose yourself on the back end.”

If that’s what you want, then go for it.

“He gets a lot of touches.”

He’s the man. He should. Everyone wants to touch him to prove he’s real.

“Good looking player.”

He gets around and for good reason. He’s a cutie.

“Excellent lateral quickness.”

Which is a whole lot better than vertical.

And now for the Doozy of the Week. Oh my…

This one is all kinds of wrong. Just all kinds.

“Exciting awareness by the big man inside.”

I’d sure hope he knows what he’s doing. Geez.

Thanks for reading and please check out the other posts from the rest of the week.

Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback ~ The Big Game Edition!!

The big game came and went. Some thought it was great. Others not so much. I’m not sure which version of the Panthers showed up, at least for the offense. They stunk. And award-winning Cam was a sham. Then again, Peyton, the play maker was not. The defense for both teams were the real stars.  

But since I can’t wax poetic about the defense, let’s hit last week’s funnies.

Here are the Honorable Mentions. I love them.

“It’s talented, fast and deep.”

That’s even on his business card.

“So much penetration.”

Because he’s talented, fast and deep. He’s popular.

“Pushing through that little tiny opening.”

But that’s what they love about him. He knows how to work a hole.

“A wide, big hole.”

See? Now he’s got it sorted out. It was tiny and now…Woo hoo!

~

Now onto those Quotes of the Week. This is the final one until preseason next fall. Preseason cannot get here fast enough!

“Putting him on tight ends.”

Because he likes those tight ends! It’s his fetish.

“Can he handle the size, the speed, the strength…?”

Who knows, but we’re all ready to watch so we can see what he can do.

“In the slot on the left side.”

Because he’s already tunneled the one on the right!

“Able to prevent the big tight end from getting the first.”

Because he’s already taken care of the right side. He can focus on getting that other tight end.

~

Now for the Doozy of the Week. Woooweee….

“Two guys inside.”

Because everyone likes a little double penetration.  

Thanks for reading and checking out my thoughts on the games. I love posting these and watching my favorite sport. Stay tuned for a few racing quotes of the week. You never know when those will show up!
