The Bengals Have Depth! - Fan_in_Kettering - 12-11-2022
The Bengals won a very physical game today.
Hayden Hurst, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, and Chidobe Awuzie were all injured today. Mike Hilton came out of the game with an injury too.
The second string came to play. I’m so impressed with Trenton Irwin, Trent Taylor, Mitchell Wilcox, and especially Cam Taylor-Britt.
For decades we’ve seen games when Cincinnati starters either can’t start or have to leave the game due to injury and the talent falloff between starters and backups is huge. Now quality play still continues at a high level even following substitutions. The only starter to backup falloff which concerns me is from Joe Burrow to Brandon Allen. There’s such a huge “delta” between those two players. It behooves the Bengals to keep Joe clean and upright.

It's great to see but certainly hope the Bengals start getting healthy and quit losing players.

Endear? We endured guys like Rod Jones and Akili Smith.

Liscow pretty much nailed it here.
If you had to pick the most important non-Burrow Bengals to stay healthy, Ja'Marr Chase, Trey Hendrickson, DJ Reader, and Chidobe Awuzie might be at the top of the list. Resilience and depth have been themes this year with some top guys getting hurt.

For a rookie with no training camp and no preseason games, CTB is playing like a madman. Future lock down corner in the making.

Yep he has gotten up to speed rather quickly, impressive

Interested to see the injury report and hoping Boyd, Tee and Hurst are back.

How has he been in coverage? I love his tackling so far.

Watson tried to pick on him a ton today and he really shut it down.

Mixed bag, but improving every week. And even when he allows a completion he’s often in almost perfect position. He’s going to be a good one.

Yup
We've all gotten geeked up about some dude in camp doing well and hyped him a bit to much. But CTB is doing it against the 1's and doing very well. It's still way early but he sure seems to be a great pick.

Winning injured is a skill every superbowl winner must have.

LMAO on Perine’s TD Wilcox is dead sleep and doesn’t remotely realizes he scored. Guess he was blocking and thought he was down but awfully funny to notice.

Edge depth will be tested next week

He is usually running right with them lately, but he is susceptible to the jump ball by tall WR's.
Although Cooper did get him turned around a little on a out route, but he recovered quick enough that he could not turn it up field. He is getting better each game on coverage and like you said there is nothing to dislike about his tackling.

He broke up that jump ball in the end zone against DPJ nicely today though.

I'm hoping the last game of the year is another Brandon Allen game, just 'cause I want to see how they'll fare on their own.

True and like what I'm seeing from the kid, he is tough as nails and fierce competitor.
