Nice to see, I thought Cappa had a good game, same with Karras. Reader about had 1 sack in the Red Zone, Mike had a
good game, made some nice Tackles for Loss. Always like Mike Hilton, he will have some bad games but man, is he a fighter
for a little guy in the Secondary.

Tanner Hudson continues to impress me as a random off-the-street pickup.

141 offensive snaps across 7 games
targeted 31 times, has 26 receptions for 228 yards
Continues to show he could be a 500+ yard guy if he had gotten this much opportunity the whole season.

By comparison, Irv Smith (the initial TE1):
305 offensive snaps across 10 games (more than double Hudson)
targeted 23 times, has 16 rec for only 97 yards

Hudson has actually more yards than Smith, Sample, and Wilcox combined (220 yards)

I'm fanboy'ing pretty hard, but I really want the Bengals to re-sign Hudson in the offseason.

For the first time in his career, I was impressed with Volson

He still is a poor run blocker, but yeah, as a pass catching TE Hudson is pretty damn good, especially against Zone.

I bet we bring him back, Burrow likes him.

PFF has Hudson rated as a 81.5 run blocker, FWIW.
Only 15 run block snaps though.

By comparison, Sample has a 69.9 run block grade but 121 run block snaps.

Thanks for the numbers, they surprise me. Saw Hudson and Boyd struggle at times last night blocking.

Hudson's run block grades by game (helps back what you saw, I think):
Week 3 - 82.4 (4 snaps)
Week 4 - 59.3 (3 snaps)
Week 9 - 55.1 (3 snaps)
Week 11 - 79.3 (3 snaps)
Week 13 - 59.2 (2 snaps)


It looks like PFF thinks Hudson only blocked well in two games.
How he's able to have a 81.5 run block grade on the season with 3 games being below 60 though and only 5 games total where he's run blocked at all, I am not sure.

Boyd is one of my favorite all time Bengals if this is his final season with us its been a pretty disappointing finish

Yeah, that is a bit perplexing to be sure. Thanks for the numbers Ochocincos.

Lou needs to unleash Joseph Ossai

Yep

At a minimum he's a TE2

They need to keep Hudson because yes at minimum he is an effective TE2. He shows potential of being a solid starter as well. Volson has looked better and part of it is them running more and running left helps him because instead of being asked to pull he gets to fire off into the defense and block downhill. In fact the whole line looks better when they get to assert themselves running power early on and get into a groove. It has the additional benefit of making the defense a bit less aggressive (especially when the runs are effective).

I'm right there with you. When we drafted Boyd and I looked up his highlights I was not impressed as he never appeared to get much separation at Pitt. His 1st couple seasons he didn't do too much and I felt like I was right. Then came the finally against the Ravens and he took off from there. Really won me over and he became one of my favorites. I really hate that he's had some miscues in what most likely is his final season here. Only thing to do is win the Super Bowl and have him finish strong.

I saw his high grade. With so few snaps I honestly didn't even notice him in the game.

Have to admit I didn't notice Ossai in this game either. Will have to watch the game again, nice chore lol

I think Chase Brown earned himself some more PT last night

Tanner Hudson is going to be TE1 for us entering next season. 

Good to see these high scores from PFF.It appears this team is rallying behind Jake Browning big time.Now,let’s make a run to the Super Bowl.Sound crazy? Well,maybe 2 weeks ago it may have sounded crazy.

I’m not so sure why everyone should be so surprised about our new Quarterback.Google his high school and college careers.
