Just sad that those reps came at the expense of the Bengals win/loss totals..
Last year Sims was 27 with 4 years of NFL experience under his belt. He was already finished "developing".
Tony Brown and Jalen Davis both had 2 years of NFL experience before last season.
If we had gotten that type of play out of rookies I would have at least had some hope that they might improve dramatically for this season. But all 3 of these guys will be in at least their 4th NFL season. It is pretty rare to see big leaps in production this late in their careers.
They are scrubs. I would rather play rookies this year than see them any more. But hopefully our top 4 CBs won't all get knocked out with injury and miss a combined 25 games. That was brutal.
