While Tee has had ongoing hamstring issues, and I wouldn't doubt he brought this up now as a plan to scare them into pushing the Chase signing, he's either hurt or playing. He HAS to play and play his butt off this season to be signed at the dollar amount he wants next year, be it here or elsewhere. Chase is going to play. He has no choice, he would accrue more in fines than he is making this season. My guess is he will play no different than he ever has, he wants money, but he also wants to be great, and JJ just pointed that out to him telling him not to sit out.
As for run defense, who ran on us effectively in Pre-Season? Oh yeah, nobody. We lost Reader, but we still have run-stoppers. And if we had even re-signed Reader, he would be on PUP.
Burrow is looking jacked, and if he stays healthy I expect nothing less than another Super Bowl run.... Lamar still can't hold onto the ball.
How many AFCN teams did we play in preseason? Not a great vindication of the run game. What happened there is zero indication of what we will face when games begin to matter.
The Reader issue is less about him being gone and more about the fact that he was not replaced. There's not currently a NT on this roster. Not great for the kind of division we play in.
