That's pretty good, but don't forget to tell the whole story, about how the gopher got up your ass in the first place.

No doubt, we also have to give kudos to Bachie and Bailey for filling in for Wilson in his absence, they have played well.

Pratt of course has but he is the WILL backer more so than MIKE like Bachie and Bailey.

Seen a lot of posts from Pally saying how Logan is on the cusp of being back every game the last 2 weeks.

Must not be a bad tear. Logan is tough and wants to be back at least for the Playoffs.

Lighten up, Francis.

I was not discounting the win.  I was commenting on the Bengals possibly getting too confident after this win.  And I gave the team credit for recognizing that they just beat a team of mostly 2nd and 3rd string players.  

If you do not agree with me then you are insulting the intelligence of our players and coaches.

Quote:So, officially it's the record. But unofficially, Hendrickson could care less.


"I don't play for those kinds of things," Hendrickson said. "I'm a product of this defense. I'm a product of good coaching. I'm a product of hard work. And anything that comes for me is just a byproduct of all those things. I know how much work my wife and I put in off the field. She's my rock and supporter. Franchise record or not, I'm very blessed to be here, to play in this defense. I'm ready to keep it rolling in the win column."

He's got his eye on the NFL record of 12 straight games with at least half a sack set by "The Freak," Jevon Kearse, 21 years ago. He's tied with the guy that comes in here next week, Chiefs tackle Chris Jones (2018), as well as Jared Allen (2010-11) and Shaun Ellis (2002-03).

"It's not just about me. You can't get sacks without coverage," Hendrickson. "So I can't say enough about the guys in the back end and even the guys I'm rushing with on the defensive line. You guys see a lot of one-man stats, but its 11 men collectively. They're giving me an opportunity to have success and I'm very thankful to be a part of this brotherhood."

That quote is amazing. Love Hendrickson and this team as a whole. Special is the word for it and as Trey said, a brotherhood.

Carlos Dunlap in a classy move sent out an IG story to Trey Hendrickson saying:

When I tried to get you to buy my house it was to encourage you to get comfortable because I knew you would be here a long time. That didn't mean go streaking past my single season record. Man that's impressive, Trey. Congratulations keep streaking all DEY

He also defended Burrow when people were freaking out over the nothing to do in Cincy comment, too. I have nothing but love for big LoS tbh.

Trey is already pushing for the best FA signing in team history.

IMO, He's still got a way to go to get above Bobbie Williams and Cedric Benson

[Forever Spinning Vinyl]

All I got from that Trey Hendrickson quote is that he and his wife have lots of amazing sex to keep in shape. Good for him.

[Watersider]

This is a stupid question, but why was his tackle on Josh Johnson for a loss counted as a tackle for a loss and not a sack? What determines whether the QB is in a running play or just getting sacked?

On topic now: it is rare for big money free agent signings to match expectations, I've basically never seen someone so thoroughly exceed expectations. He's changed our defense.

[HarleyDog]

Kudos to Trey. Has been exciting to watch. Specially for a fanbase that’s had difficulty holding their heads up since 2016.

On Logan, I only post what Zac says. One week, he says hopefully next week and then the next week rules him out saying hopefully next week. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine. I don’t recall any media reports yet of him even practicing on the rehab field. I think as of now, they are hoping he will be back for the playoffs

I would love to have had Ossai in there rotationally. Hubbard, Hendrickson and Ossai. That sounds great.

I'm not looking towards next season at all, but if Ossai is anything even close to what he showed us in the pre-season then pairing him up with Hendrickson and Hubbard will be deadly.

Probably correct. Just want him at least close to 100% when he comes back, what is nice is Bailey is getting meaningful 
snaps in the mean time. He got froze by JJ on that one early TD against the Ravens but other than that has played well.
