I saw some cut ups of Moore's route running from college recently on the twit.  He has all the physical skills and ability you want in a WR.  I'm not sure exactly what was holding him back last year but if the new staff is able to get that talent to produce, he will be very good.

He said he couldn't wrap his brain around the playbook. Typical rookie stuff.

The encouraging thing about WR is our new WR coach Alvis Whited. He's coached two Biletnikoff finalists at CSU and may be able to get more out of our 3 talented youngsters. If their talent is fully realized, we will be DEEP at WR. We saw flashes of serious talent from 2/3 of that group, if Moore makes any kind of 2nd year jump then we will be fine at WR. Combined with a healthy Allison I think the group has solid potential. 

That's encouraging GD. Love MVS, ESB and Shepherd this year to do some damage. Geronimo and maybe Lazard too. Adams leading the way, this group could be a strength. Insane measurables.

Sorry, back to the Queen's clamscaping....

I live in the middle of Bengals country and I honestly at times have to feel really bad for them.  That team can never catch a break.  

I thought one of the better Bengals teams was the one when Carson Palmer was in his prime.  They were playing the Steelers in their first playoff game that year and in the first series, he goes down with a torn ACL.

Both SB losses were very winnable.  First one, they just had a poor start.  Then you have their loss of QB Greg Cook in his rookie year who some said had the potential to be one of the very best.

Yeah, all in all, they've had a rugged history.

Wow, you remembered QB Greg Cook.  He was a guy I usually don't bring up because no one remembers him. 

There was in the dinosaur days a game called the college all star game between the best of the college seniors and the pro champions from the previous year.  Greg almost took down the pros in the second half (I believe) of the game he played in.  In them days I kept track of Greg until after he wasn't going to be able to play anymore.

This video is only 13m 37s long.  As you probably know, the injury that ended his career occurred his rookie year.  I think he only played a few games the following year and hung them up, realizing he lost his arm.

Right at the beginning of the video, Bob Trumpy and Bill Walsh said they think he was the best QB ever.  He led the league in passing his rookie year and some of the games were after he got hurt.

It's a sad video.  He died a broken man.
