Orlando about to give up three sacks LMAO look at this bullshit
Orlando Brown Jr., son of 'Zeus,' was built for the storm
Quote:
Quarterback Joe Burrow has been lost for the season due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. Nobody expects anything out of a 5-5 team currently in last place. The Bengals have officially been erased from the national consciousness because Burrow is the one who revitalized the entire organization.
Burrow earned every penny of the richest contract in NFL history. Burrow is the primary reason Orlando Brown Jr. even chose Cincinnati in free agency. This behemoth signed here to serve as the missing piece, as the protector of Joey Franchise. He’s well aware that the Bengals were one block away from winning the Super Bowl in 2021, then one block from reaching another in 2022.
He delivered a Super Bowl title to the Kansas City Chiefs and chose Cincinnati to do it again, to inch closer to fulfilling that promise to his Dad.
The timing of his arrival may now seem completely off.
It’s not.
He’s exactly what the Bengals need.

The human mind only grows through struggle. We innately need resistance. Back to begging his father to play, Orlando Brown Jr. is living proof. And chatting the Friday before Cincinnati’s 24-18 win over Buffalo, the left tackle says he’s been studying who Leonard Floyd is off the field as much as who the Bills edge rusher is on it.
He takes a “militant” approach to his job because, he adds with bite, that’s the key “to breaking a man’s will.”
Now, the will of the entire Cincinnati Bengals team should effectively shatter. It won’t. When they face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paycor Stadium this Sunday, veer your attention to No. 75 beforehand. You’ll see him put an arm — stretch marks ‘n all — over a teammate’s shoulder. He’ll be in their ear. He may even speak up at halftime like he did in Baltimore’s playoff win over Tennessee three years ago.
Back then, Brown told everyone to look around the locker room, to realize this is a team full of players who’ve dug themselves out of a hole in their lives. The Ravens won, 20-13, with Brown earning eternal validation from the calloused Calais Campbell. “Young buck,” Brown recalls Campbell saying in his baritone voice, “you’re going to be something special!”
Bengals players can toil in their proverbial lockers for six hours straight.
Or they can fight. Or they can look within exactly as Brown did. It’s true that Burrow is a generational quarterback, but it’s also true that this Bengals team is strong at its core. Last postseason, Go Long spent time with that swaggering pack. The Bengals are full of angry “villains” who’ll find slights, use slights and dance atop an opponent’s grave when the deed is done. Now, this dismissed team has every reason to grow a very real chip on the shoulder.
Maybe these Bengals can work their way back to Arrowhead for a third straight playoff game. That’d be fun.
Granted, Brown hoped to be a Chief forever. He was comfortable in KC. He imagined his son growing up with Patrick Mahomes’ kids. But he says their contract offer was not fair, citing the outs and lack of guaranteed money. He believed the Chiefs were trying to take advantage of him, and the fact that he sincerely wanted to stick around.
There were also aspects of the culture he frankly did not enjoy.
“It’s an organization that’s old school,” Brown says. “You’re going to have to play through injury. You’re going to practice through injury. It is old school and it’s not for everybody. And I would’ve still had a ton of success there if I was still there. It’s crazy how God works.”
Asked for more detail on this “old school” world and Brown points to the Chiefs’ strenuous practices — they go hard every day — and the fact that it’s not very “rah-rah.”
“Every game is the Super Bowl,” he says. “It’s different, but that’s what makes it special.”
Upon signing, he realized the Bengals, unlike the Chiefs, were adamant on taking care of players’ bodies.
