BJ Hill has been such an important addition to the team. Dude is playing so well. I hope he's with us beyond this year.

I also see a nice adjustment by Taylor putting Chase in the slot. He has proven he has great run after the catch ability, speed and quickness to get open. Some may say why now and what was ZT waiting for? The slot is a lot of timing and WR/QB reads so takes time to develop the trust needed. A bad read can mean an interception in a hurry
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.

A lot of people still dog Apple, and rightfully so. His only consistency his entire career (including college) has been inconsistency.
But last several games he's been pretty damn good. Will it continue ? I sure hope.
And I'm a little surprised JB's rating isn't in the 90's

Hopkins is looking better every week. This is an underrated truth in a great way for our Bengals, Burrow and the Offense.

That Chase out of the slot number is sick. I hope we keep doing that in the following 2 weeks of the regular season (and beyond.)
I would like Fred Johnson to be given another chance at RT. I am not a huge fan of Prince there.

I wonder how the Ravens ratings come out this week..I'm guessing not too spiffy.

Good stuff. I think you had a type with Burrow....should have been 99.9, not 89.9.
The note on Hopkins is huge.
I have a sneaky feeling that Bates wins this game with a late INT.

Chase was playing wideout to take advantage of his long ball capabilities. Now that teams are focused on taking that away, they move him to the slot so he can beat them from there.

Yes. The eye test has backed up those numbers. Hopkins has looked pretty good since the bye.

This is a big deal for both our running game and our passing game. If Hopkins plays well we are hard to stop.
Pressure up the middle destroys your Offense more than anything depending on the QB and discipline of the Defense.
Would be nice to see Ogunjobi and company destroy the middle of that Chiefs OL sending Mahomes into Sam/Trey.

Thought Jonah has been having a good year contrary to what some have said on here. Being a starting LT ain't easy in the NFL.
Whit made it look easy after he sucked for a year or two, takes some time. Fred I hope starts at RT the rest of the season and
in the Playoffs if we make it. I like using Prince in jumbo packages. Think Adeniji has looked better than that grade but same with
Carman who is a bit better. No surprise on the grades of our skill positions.

For sure, Hopkins is playing much better right now. I don't care who you were, I care who you are.

I trust Pollack 100% but man I would love to see Carman seize the jumbo package role. In his fairly limited playing time I've seen him get after some dudes and put them on their ass.
