    I did not see him on one play today. Granted, I am happy with Bryan Thomas' play, but where was our #6 pick?

    #6 pick actually.

    He was shutdown and didn't get much PT...

    Ya could of easily bumped the thread from last week and evaluate his performance.

    I was thinking about creating a "Did Gholston play today?" thread.

    I hated the pick then. I still hate it.

    I wanted Keith Rivers. For the 2nd week in a row, Rivers had a good game. He is one of the only Bengals players who is doing anything positive.

    Brick sucked, really? I mean, I saw Faneca chasing his man towards Favre and watching a sack, but I didn't see Brick do that once.....I guess everyone sucked, because we lost.

    James Dearth sucked big time today too.....Joe Namath was awful

    He was in on a few of the 3rd and longs. Basically he ran into the pile and was fairly useless. I'll still give him some time.

    Just back up your point. I watched the whole game, I recorded it, I know what happened.

    I don't have to prove anything. We lost. That should be proof enough.

    Cant be hard to gather up tackles on that Bengals D. :lol:

    I was happy to see Stewart kill though, it was down to Gholston and him for who I wanted out of the 6th pick.

    I really did not see him. Once. I was not sure if he played or not.

    Did you not see this coming?

    And enough about Keith Rivers, he's 235 pounds! Vilma was that weight, just 3 inches shorter...Gholston was the BPA, and is what the Jets needed...

    I assume Houston should of cut Mario Williams after his rookie season right? Much less 2 games.
     
  20. Truthfully...This franchise doesn't have alot of glaring holes right now. We lack depth at NT, ILB, AND OL(What team doesnt) and have some issues at Kicker..but other than that we're a young solid roster. We could afford to take a shot at a guy like Gholston who was widely considered BPA at the # 6 pick and still has a huge upside.
