You should link highlights you reference. Ben really fell off the last couple years.

Vengeance.

Nice break on the ball, Mike saw it coming all the way. Terrible pass by the Pig, take advantage.

One of those plays where the QB knew where he was going before the ball was even snapped, come hell or high water.

Problem was so did Mike.

This is the guy the Stealers didn't value....
Did everyone catch that grin when he said the defense was going to be a whole lot faster in the nickle?

Oh yeah, I caught it. Mike is already one of my fave Bengals of all time.

Too often we see the Vet saying "It's not my job to mentor the Rookie. Hilton is not that dude:

Quote:He plans to be one with rookie slot Cam Taylor-Britt, the second-rounder from Nebraska. Hilton played a career-high 802 snaps last season and he may be getting a few breathers with CTB aboard. "I'll make sure he's ready. That's part of being a leader and a vet," Hilton said. "Absolutely. They're here to help us. I want them to be on top of their game to help us win. I'm definitely going to take him under my wing and try to show him the ropes."

When you think about it the less flash (to sports media - a lot of us here were pumped by both) signings like Vonn Bell and Mike Hilton have delivered crazy value. Both have delivered value beyond pure position play.

Way to be Mike.

For sure and it seemed to start with the Von hit on JuJu. Then we brought in Hilton from the Stoolers in a great theft for our benefit.

Haven't lost to the Steelers since the Bell hit...
