Personally I thought Dre K didn't have a very good game this week either.

Yup, these two are what I came into the thread to add if they weren't already there.

I honestly think that this game sealed Peerman's fate on the roster. Great ST guy, but the Bengals went through this before with Kyries Hebert, and they found someone else to take his role pretty easily.

This kind of just shows that even if they're not a starter, most RBs tend to decline around 30. (Peerman is 30 in October.) So far this preseason, Peerman is at 13 carries, 7 yards. I know the run blocking hasn't always been excellent (Peerman did get mobbed by like 5 guys in the backfield one play) but I think that's enough to push him off and let in one of those young guys.
