Is he even getting snaps??  We've gotten very little out of Murphy thus far, which isn't necessarily a surprise.  He was drafted based on his age and crazy measurables, knowing he may take some time to develop. But we've gotten even less from Ossai.  With Hubbard, Hendrickson, Sample, Tupoa (sp??) all dinged up, we're gonna have to get some DL play from somewhere....  Not the best time to be headed to Baltimore for a MUST win.  I'm not ready to write this team off, but they're gonna have to step up big time to earn this next one. Joe and the offense better be ready to put up 40, because if we can't pressure CJ Stroud, imagine trying to contain/pressure Lamar Jackson.  And that's no disrespect intended for Stroud in any way, but Lamar Jackson is on his own level, when it comes to elusiveness.

The Texans were missing their leading tackler at LB, the Ravens have Roquan, the Texans were missing half of their secondary, the Ravens have everyone and better players.

We will be at least 5 point underdogs and like could be more. We will see if we are good enough or not.

Not saying the Bengals will be able to exploit any better than the they did against the Texans, but the Ravens don't have everyone for Thursday night.

Dont even pass rush all game. Eff it. He’s not getting home anyway. Just contain the edge and spy Lamar. He’s got the athleticism to do it here and there.

Teams kinda do this when they feel they can’t get home

They tell their ends to play pass lanes and keep an eye for the QB breaking contain.


Maybe the more realistic option is to start Ossai and have Murphy be the 3rd and long Lamar spy


I don’t think we’re getting more than 1 sack Thursday if we even get that

Zac Taylor said it'll be challenging for Trey Hendrickson on a short week, "but we'll see."

"We'll see" on Higgins and Hubbard.

Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson is day-to-day with his knee injury, coach Zac Taylor said. Taylor didn’t have an update on WR Tee Higgins or DE Sam Hubbard.
