As it should be. Please don't take the following out of context, as the sample size is VERY small. But...

Myles Murphy has a better pass rush win rate (23.1%) out of the bye than Trey Hendrickson (21.1%). Sample size is very small, but he's getting better. https://t.co/jkaQZ4hTtg

It is such a small sample size, it's legitimately not worth bringing up.

Myles Murphy has played 19 snaps on defense since the Bye. I think the only way to get 23.1% out of 19 snaps is if 13 of those 19 snaps were passing plays, and he "won" on 3 of them (23.07% which rounds up to 23.1%).

So the sample size is from "winning" on 3 snaps. Lol. With 0 even QB Hits.

Both were the last Bengal defensive snap of the game.

Interesting coincidence, isn't it?  Joseph got a lot of love for that first play.  It really was one of our biggest defensive plays of the year.  But after the playoffs most fans had completely forgotten about it.

Johnson wasn't a consideration for the 53 with so many players already established above him.  They could not keep more than 5 without removing a spot from another position group.  Trey, Sam, Cam, Ossai, and Murphy were locks at the time.  He and Gunter were the next 2.  All reports have shown we wanted to sign him to the practice squad but after clearing waivers he chose to leave for what seems to be depth issues, which makes sense.

Hubbard and Hill are down a little bit, Reader and Hendrickson are up a little bit. None of them are particularly significant differences.
