Drue was at worst equal to him in preseason and looked good on holds as well. Take the young guy with room to keep improving over the old guy who looked worse and worse as last season went on.
My suspicion is that when two excellent punters were released on Sunday that the Bengals gambled that Chrisman could make it to the practice squad for one more year. They invested so much time bringing his holding skills up to par with Huber that I'm sure they don't want to start over again next year with another punter and holder. If they can stash him on the practice squad they can bring him up if Huber falters or next year.
It's a gamble. But Chrisman is a local -- grew up a half-hour from Paycor Stadium -- and likely would re-sign for a practice squad position.
