Saw the same, I think the TE room went from being pretty pedestrian to alright in 1 game and I really like Hayden,
especially what he brings in the passing game, but I did see him make some good blocks last Thursday like you say
here Housh which is just bonus when this happens. He is clearly a better route runner and pass catcher at the TE
position than what we had last year IMO.
And that was Uzo's best season of his career. He has done nothing in New York which just shows how good of a
move it was to move on from Uzo while adding Hurst for cheap.

Hurst has an extra game though, but CJ does not seem to be proving himself in NY just yet. At double the cost as well and even when playing the Bengals defense which he knew inside and out.
Think the Bengals made the right move by saving money at TE and putting it toward the O-line personally and probably upgraded in the process.
Woof, even more lopsided than I thought. Thanks for this Go Cards. Confirms what I have seen from my eye with
Hurst and about the move we made in bringing him in over overpaying Uzo.

CJ had 3 years to be in the ZT system and get comfortable with Burrow as well. You would think Hurst will only continue to improve with time and continuity.
Yes, he should only get better as he gets more comfortable in the system and Burrow will watch the film and see him
wide open lots of times. Which will open Burrow's eyes to not only target our big 3, even though Hurst still had the best
game of his season so far, it could of been much bigger of a game if Burrow found him a few more times when he was
open against Miami.

Those numbers this year show anything but a wash Essex. Clear upgrade is what the numbers show that Go Cards
provided. Better in every aspect but blocking and even then Hurst had a good game blocking last game at times.
