Burrow likes the guy clearly.
Burrow is highly accurate, and likes people who catch the ball. I still can’t get Thomas’s stone cold drop the first game of the season.

I agree. But right now, with Thomas and Irwin on the roster...i don't see a reason why Irwin shouldn't be promoted ahead of Thomas, starting this week.

Michael Thomas has been waived. I think we found our answer.

.....and it's the correct answer.

Still, he sucks on ST as well. He always misses as the gunner, never breaks down, flies by the ball carrier. And he alligator-armed a sure TD week 1 against pitt. Screw him, has no business being here.
Not really..... Simmons has a big say in these matters when it comes to guys on teams. I'd say he got the job initially because of familiarity with Zac, and probably stuck because he has historically been a good STs guy. This year, he has not .....and is terrible on offense. Be it Zac or Simmons, someone held on too long, but the situation has been rectified. Thomas was waived today.

Morgan is great on STs, and is a HELLUVA blocker on the outside. Thomas has struggled at both this year.

Irwin reverted back to the practice squad today. He cannot be elevated anymore without being signed to the 53. I suspect we will know more after they see how Ja'Marr Chase practices this week
Mike Hilton's reaction to Trenton's first TD ?

Love Hilton. Classy player.

Zac Taylor jokes Trenton Irwin has a room in the facility because he's always here. That's what made his game ball so special yesterday for the whole team

And yet he's back on the practice squad where any team desperate for WRs can sign him. For example, the Giant's WR core is a disaster. Is Jackson Carmen that important to the team to take up a spot?

Even if chase plays, I think they sign Irwin. They ran with 6 WR all year i think and now with Thomas cut, even if Chase plays, that’s only 5.

Same, we should sign Trenton now. Love it when a player comes from nowhere and does this. Great times.

Shhhhh ! don't tell this to the "we have to keep Thomas per he is a great ST's player" folks.

Didn't read the 4 pages of replies or the OP. But to answer the title, yes.
Should Trenton Irwin Stick? - Bronxbengal - 11-21-2022
Yes and play him in the slot on four WR formations. He can get open

Stats from #Bengals backup WRs this season:
— Willie Lutz (@willie_lutz) November 22, 2022
Mike Thomas: 10 games, 2 catches, 38 yards
Stanley Morgan Jr: 8 games, 0 catches
Trent Taylor: 10 games, 4 catches, 20 yards
Trenton Irwin: 3 games, 6 catches, 83 yards, 1 TD
From this sample, pretty clear to see Trenton Irwin as WR4. pic.twitter.com/4zex2r2Avt

Clearly. Thanks for this Nicomo, thought Trent Taylor had better numbers then that but I guess most of his yards came on
reverses. Irwin is bigger than Taylor, runs better routes than Morgan and has better hands than Thomas.
