It isn't a Margus Hunt situation, where he made one move three times and beat an Indianapolis Colt tackle that was not on an NFL roster the following week.  This guy was terrorizing from all angles, and on almost every play.  

He was the most dominant player on the field the entire game.  You couldn't take your eyes off of him.  If he continues this pace, there is no way they can keep MJ over Smith and Willis.

The Bengals supposedly really liked him when he was coming out of college, and he maybe took for granted what he had at Jax, and that led to less playing time and his ultimate trade.  Whatever the reason, whatever the motivation, the guy has mad skills that he is unleashing and needs to be on the field.  This is EXACTLY the kind of rotational guy we need coming in fresh.  

Kudos to the Bengals for seizing an opportunity to steal him from Jax for a "conditional pick".
