What Bengal Players Played Better In 2022 Season Than You Expected ?

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Pratt
Irwin
Perine
CTB
Apple
Volson
Tufele

EDIT: I forgot Wilcox. Obvious miss.

I thought Hurst would be good so no surprise there.

I thought Perine was fine last year (screen pass TD vs Chiefs) but he has been better than I thought, partucularly receiving.

Pratt was great in the POs last year, but I did not know if it was a blip or not. No blip. He leveled up.

Irwin has been a fantastic surprise, filling in for Tee and Chase. He is a fine WR4 and I hope he sticks around. Not really a guy I'd want as a starter, though.

I thought we were screwed when Chido got hurt. Have not lost a game since. CTB & Apple deserve a ton of credit. Apple's raw numbers may be a bit down, but not much. CB1 is a step up from CB2. I wanted Woolen or Marcus Jones and thought CTB was a Round 3 guy. Not a huge fan of the trade up to get him. However, I get it. Excellent vs the run, great athlete, but a bit raw in coverage. He has been all those things, but has also made some great plays (saved 2 TDs last week).

Volson has been bumpy but I thought it would be far worse. There isxa player in there, I think.

We got Tufele off the street when DT/NT was decimated by injuries, and I expected nothing. We got more than that & he played his way onto the roster.

I forgot Wilcox, who has been serviceable. Still think he is TE3, though.
