I am certain this will be a subject for another thread, but one guy I am really looking forward to having a big day is Hubbard.
Sam was trending on a certain trajectory before last year's injury and dearth of surrounding talent. I think he is the best kept secret on our defense and he is ready to have a massive season. He will have a ton of family at the game, and he just signed a nice contract. He is one of the leaders on the team and was recently named a Captain.
Hendrickson may have the more favorable matchup, but Sam Hubbard is my guy to watch this week.
I am looking forward to our 2 DT's. They will not be able to double team them both so I am looking for Bengals to send 5 and run stunts to free up space up the middle. Of course, if they can't handle both DE's, we can drop in coverage.
I do think our DL is going to have a very good day, if they don't against a weak OL trying to replace Reiff and dealing with injuries at LT, we may have a long year on defense.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
