He was another player who changed my mind against the Ravens. He didn't look fast but maybe that was the routes he was running. Regardless, he certainly was tough to bring down once he had the ball and was sure handed last night as well.

Bank on it.
Or someone else on D.
I think we'll cut a WR. 7 is too many

On cut day, I was surprised that we cut Junior Johnson, in favor of Nickerson. After watching a couple games, I now understand why. He's got great football instincts, and still plenty of room for development. (physically)

CJ, due to his build, looks like he's running in molasses, but every catch he makes he seemingly gets 10 yds or more. He is a lot like AJ, in that his speed is deceptive.

The knock on Uzomah has never been his physical traits but rather dropping passes. If he cleans that up he can be special.

ABSOLUTELY!!! The coaches know what's going on, so GREAT CALL.
He never seemed to be where I expected him in preseason. But HEY, he did GOOD. His speed was a GREAT ASSET last night....
GO BENGALS!

Nickerson has been very solid. Can never have enough good LBs

Yep...If it wasn't for plenty of easy open-field missed tackles by several Bengal players (secondary) and plenty of 2 defenders on 1 offensive player ,the ravens yardage gets cut down big time....

Saw him miss a few tackles but overall he played well for a young guy playing MIKE.
He is smart and is probably a better player than Vinny at this point.

2 weeks ago I would have said you were crazy, but while Vinny is healthy enough to play about every snap on ST he has played ZERO snaps on defense even with Burfict and Brown out.
RE: Props to Hardy Nickerson - NATI BENGALS - 09-15-2018
Proved me wrong. If we are 100% hard to say who goes bw core and rey when Burfict comes back.
RE: Props to Hardy Nickerson - Go Cards - 09-16-2018
LBers are no longer a worry in my mind.
Especially when Burfict comes back.

Another example of an overpaid backup
RE: Props to Hardy Nickerson - samhain - 09-16-2018
I still wonder about Bufict's health. He wasn't doing so hot last we saw from him in camp. I don't think we can assume that he comes back looking like prime Vontaze. I still recall 2 years back when he retuned fat and out of shape, getting gassed vs Miami, then getting trucked by Zeke in Dallas. I hope the story is different this time....
RE: Props to Hardy Nickerson - MaineBengal - 09-16-2018
Uzomah is the fastest TE of the 4 on the roster. He's also 10-15 pounds bigger than the others. Pretty sure he'd get the best blocker designation now that Hewitt is gone.
