5 games, 4.5 sacks plus a ton of pressures and has played run well too. Over 17 games he is on a pace for 15 sacks. And it is not streaky production - he has been consistently bringing the heat every game.
Yes Small sample size so far but to this point it looks like we got a bargain. Trey so far is better than Lawson and even better than Dunlap.

I was cautiously optimistic when we got him. Definitely worried he may have been a one year wonder but he’s been a great addition so far. And isn’t already injured (knock on wood) like another DE many including myself wanted back.
I like the consistency best out of all though. Give me a player who will be good each game and not streaky with 5 sacks one game then none for 4 weeks…

I hope he doesn't get burnt out as the season progresses. He's literally the only edge rusher that's been getting any kind of production.

I don't know if he'll keep pace for 15 sacks given the harder opponents in the second half of the season, but I do think he reaches double-digits.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Curious what people’s comps are for Trey… I keep thinking he’s a smaller slightly less productive Julius Peppers. Just something with the way he plays reminds me of that.
Who does he remind you guys of?

yea, Hubbard sucks honestly at pass rush...not bad VS run...but we can use an upgrade there. He scares no one

Julius peppers is one of the greatest defensive ends to ever play
If trey Hendrickson is a slightly less productive Julius Peppers, than he is a hall of fame player.

Peppers had a more complete game. He would get picks and return them for 6. The way Hendrickson rushes reminds me of him, but certainly not the overall level of play. If Hendrickson can play how hes played these first few games for an extended period of time hes going to be pretty good.

I view Hubbard as a Rob Ninkovich type of player. He's a solid player and he's not terrible at any particular thing. He's got leadership qualities that give him a different kind of value to the team. That said, he's not great at anything either.

Lawson had a long history of injuries and as much as I loved his play when healthy the Trey signing is a much better investment and so far, fingers crossed is working out great.

The team is getting exactly what they paid for from Hendrickson, solid, steady production. No complaints from me.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I knew little about him when they signed him other than that he was going to cost a lot. The majority consensus seemed to be that his numbers were generated by coverage sacks. That consensus was obviously a righteous trash take.
Duke takes some shit here for his botching of o-line building, but it must be admitted that he's knocked it out of the park on defense. Spending on Awuzie, Reader, Ogunjobi and Hendrickson was pretty spot on. Recognizing Chido as a fit might have been the best move of the offseason. His only miss in the defensive FA shopping spree was Waynes, and that's all charged to injury at this point. Who knows what he'd be if he could actually get on the field.

Defiantly a good signing and he is signed for four years.

Great motor on Trey and would have loved seeing him and Ossai getting after QB's all season together.
Thinking Hendrickson ends up with 12-13 in regular season.

Im really impressed by him I thought he was made by the Players around him in New Orleans rather than him being the star he clearly is. Dude is playing at a high level.

We just have to keep in mind that sacks are not the only thing that defines a pass rusher. Hendrickson looked pretty bad against Green Bay outside of those two sacks (according to both my eyes and PFF). I think he's doing well so far in his Bengal career, but let's not christen him the next Antwan Odom just yet
