He still needs to develop more consistency, but he's coming along nicely for a 2nd round rookie.
Dax Hill made a few nice plays too. Ultimately though, he's best fit at safety. I expect him to take over for Bates next season.
Pratt continues to justify a good payday in a contract year.
Scharping isn't really unexpected. He was decent and had 33 starts before coming to the Bengals. Allowed 3 total pressures, all of which were hurries only.
Adeniji didn't allow a sack or a hit, but he did allow 5 hurries. The total pressures isn't surprising, but it's good the defender didn't get to Burrow.
Carman was probably the biggest surprise of all. 3 total pressures only, no sacks. I thought he and Adeniji were going to have a rough day. Carman displayed that physicality from Clemson that made him a Day 2 pick.
I noticed Tupou and Carter quite a few times too. They only played ~15 snaps each, but they had some moments.
Sure didn't like that early moment when the Alien carried both those guys 5 yards and nearly for the TD....
