I admire the Bengals' will to play hurt under ZT. But I think sometimes they go too far. Concussions (Trey H, Tee), shoulders (Logan, Tee), ankles (Mixon, Tee), knees (Hopkins, probably Tee as well lol) ... if they're not breaking bones, these guys are trotting out there like Roman Gladiators. And the injury reports have never been used more tactically than now. Just last week I think the Saints had 14 guys listed and the Bengals only 6. It tends to be the younger coaches who treat it like a game and serve their players up on a stick. I worry that soon enough they'll all get burned and take their guys with them (see: McDaniel, Mike).
I wish Logan a speedy recovery... and a massive second contract.
You really have no factual basis to say that ZT had put people out to play hurt outside of a injury report.. lol... and to be honest, in todays game it is much more out of the control of a HC to do what you are suggesting ZT is doing. This team actually has been overall one of the more healthy teams than past bengal teams, maybe we should actually praise the coaching and medical staff for maybe making some changes to prevention and treatment with injuries
