Our D-line sucked so bad last year no one was getting many sacks.
And even if he is just "average" in pass rush he is one of the bestr in the league against the run, so that makes him "above average"
Hubbared looks the part of a top level pass rushing DE.
Long arms, tall. But at this moment he is a very below average
Pass rusher.
He has been in the league for 3 years and yet he has
Yet to achieve double digit sacks.
And this is a league that is dominated by the passing game
Pass attempts,ate at a,all time high.
Hubbard needs to work on his get off speed.
And he needs to use his,long arms to master that tomahawk
Chop.
What is Hubbards go to pass rush move.....What is his
Counter move?
Averaging 5.5 sacks a year wont cut it.
Myles Garrett achieves that a 3rd of a season.
The Bengals drafted 2 young stallions that are closers and
Finishers.
Its time for Hubbard to decide if he wants to be a so so
Pass rusher or a dominant one.
If Sample and Ossai are what the Bengals think they
Can be, then Hubbard may see his snaps decrease
Hubbard is replaceable.
