I'm surprised Dax Hill wasn't mentioned, as there's been some buzz around him this TC too.
If the Bengals have Carman playing up to his potential, the big FA acquisitions in Karras, Cappa, Collins, and Hurst live up to at least expectations, and see CTB and Dax Hill play well as rookies, this will be a very good year (again).
It said that Dax had looked impressive so far and that he may be proving the team right in the Bates decision.

Fair, it's mentioned in the blurb about Loser: Jessie Bates.
I meant that Hill wasn't listed specifically as one of the winners.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins

Just going by film I see. Hurst looks way faster than CJ. Maybe it's an illusion.

I don't think anybody is saying Hurst is Tony Gonzalez 2.0 but he may well be better than what his stats are. We'll see

Sometimes Tall guys look slower cause they dont have to take as many steps to get to the same location

Careful. We have to be respectful of all posters and Hayden may be showing too much skin for some~

Yep
We had a tall guy like 6'4" on our softball team years ago. And to watch him run (natural long strider) you'd think he was the slowest guy on the team.
He was damn near the fastest.

Absolutely, he was at training camp last year and played awful.

BA is sharpening the Defense up at this point. Offense won't get legit work until Burrow gets back it seems.

Joe and Hayden worked out in Florida together a week or so before training camp so they do have some time working on a connection and timing

he is. He only had 1 year where he was the starting TE.
Two top 5 tight ends surpassed him on his previous teams. You're not gonna put up much stats like that unless you're in a 2 tight end system like what Belichek runs
