I sit 20 rows from the field on the 40 yard line in section 139 on the opposing team sideline (the side Apple & CTB played in the 3rd Qtr) and he looked very solid. Lots of knowledgeable fans around my seats and we were watching him, very aggressive tackler. He played pretty tight coverage and comes off his man to make tackles and take on blockers. I watched the condensed TV replay tonight and I don't see how anyone could come up with a negative assessment of CBT from watching the game on TV? Last week there were complaints from some who only listened on the radio.... so not sure what to make of some comments.

Apple played the opening series of the second then CTB played the vast majority of the 2nd half. Winning makes believers of us all

On the ONE Mariotta run mentioned, CTB was not juked out, his man crashed down to block and CTB turned the play inside. It would had been great to for him to make the play but Mariotta is a very good ball runner., especially in open space. It's as if other teams don't have good players too....

I remember scratching my head when we drafted Zach Carter with Perrion Winfrey still on the board but, you know, draft season hype seems to be a thing cuz Winfrey is not making an impact on the Browns defense whereas Carter is making some plays. Winfrey's been kicked out of practice, been called out by team veterans and has not gotten snaps even during games where the Browns were incredibly short handed on the Dline.
It's still early, but we're looking smart in the early goings of these two players' careers.

This is really big for the rest of the season for the Bengals especially when they start getting guys back from injury. Carter looked like he had his best game as a pro. ADG didn't skip a beat. Tufele was a massive signinig by this front office. I don't know how he graded (other than he made one poor tackle attempt) but CTB was out there quite a bit??? How has he earned snaps (per the discussion from Lou about Dax)??? Good sign that he never got torched.

I think it’s more about Apple continually letting guys run right past him for 3 straight weeks. Remember, both Lamar and Dalton missed wide open TD’s. The one yesterday was probably the last straw for Lou. CTB ended up playing 60% of the defensive snaps.

Any update on the ankle injury that took Collins out of the game for a while?

It looked like he was supposed to be the inside leverage there on that post route.

Bell graded out as one of the top 5 on defense. Eli had a 29. It’s possible some don’t agree with your assessment here.

Well it came straight from Arthur Smith's mouth so... The Play was designed to go to Kyle Pitts Vonn Bell read it and jumped the route of course that allowed the post open because there was no inside help.

Eh, Apple still got beat like a drum on that play. His recovery speed is for shit lately. |
