1st of all they didn't want to play Steel and Knight. If they had a choice those 2 OL would be sitting next to anae and robinson at home. But injuries happen, and this time the tackles were so depleted untill coaches had little choice, even eventually moving Martin to tackle so steel can get back on the bench untill he too was hurt. I do hope the new DC gives anae and robinson a shot in camp, we'll just have to see how things shake out.
I imagine even Steele being active for a game was never considered in their wildest dreams
He was 5th on the depth chart behind the starters, Irvin, and knight
I think the fact they got those reps was great. The fact we needed them to start games is why we are picking at 10
Not getting Anae and Robinson meaningful reps was just plain dumb

Good for him. Go get that money big fella.

Give him some time. He was thrown into the fire and in no way ready to play. His pedigree probably dictates a couple years of development before starting ball games.

Completely agree. Those reps have sped up the learning process, and the youngsters will be better for it.

Sorry, maybe someone else can console you with RB ever revisiting prior performance.
Rbs seldom if ever get better on 2nd contracts, or I should say the value of a top payed 2nd contract to a RB.
I’d bet good money that if Dak and the offensive line stay healthy this year that Zeke will have a banner year compared to last.

Dalton had the highest win percentage of any QB who started games for us last season (with Dak right behind him - no this was not a bash Dak post). If anything he is a reason we don't have a top 5 pick. Now if DiNucci was on that list you'd have a point.
My point is valid....only way Dalton hit those incentives is if he started more games and based Daltons track record with Bengals we were heading for a top 5 pick. Dalton had a better winning percentage with Bengals hello Burrow....Dalton average QB play always seems to pass the Eye Test

So they should be taking money from Jaylon based on performance...
Agreed... but if the owner ain't trippin...

Webster's Dictionary defines “accountability” as “the quality or state of being accountable; an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions.”

We don't have that.

Steel was certainly a worst case scenario. I agree those guys needed reps but 95+% of all coaches will play the more veteran guys over rookies in the believe they have a better chance to earn a Win even if their performance is the same. I hope they get a better shot in camp. That's why unless your an early draft pick it takes an injury or something for some guys to finally get their shot on the field.

No doubt
I don’t think anyone ever expected Steele to see the field
But later in the year I wish they had got Anea and Robinson some reps too
The only bright spot from last year was seeing some of the young guys show a little something

Agreed. Once Poe and the others were out of the way it really made sense unless they just didn't like what they saw in practice.

Not sure why this guy is getting hate. He went from street FA to starting in the NFL and did an admirable job considering. I'd have no problem keeping him and Knight as backups.
After a rough start he really did improve a great deal. Still rough but if he can continue improving....

What are your current thoughts on Elliott?

I want someone to convince me he is going to return to being the player he can be.

You're the right guy.

Appreciate...
If someone can show me his offseasson work ethic, I think you will have a view on whether he will get back to the player he was.

I just don't have a clue what that is. He has not shown the maturity to put in the work in the past.
