This thread is for reasonable discussion, not for people wanting ZT fired or half the players cut.
I want to talk about some LEGIT concerns I have for this team moving forward that go back to last year and showed their head on Sunday.
1. Sam Hubbard - Sam looks like an absolute shell of himself out there. He's coming off of an off-season surgery and was injured most of training camp. I think it's time to really start to wonder just how much he has left in the tank. He wasn't great at containing or stopping the run yesterday and he isn't really a pass rush specialist. We need more from that edge spot.
2. Alex Cappa - I think it's safe to say that Cappa may now be the weak link on this offensive line. He got abused in some games last year, he's getting up there in age, has lost a lot of athleticism, and continues to have sub par games. He was the lowest graded player on the line yesterday. The Bengals could move Karras to guard and Lee to center but they will never do it. I think it's worth discussing if Cappa's best years are behind him.
These are a couple guys that I don't think are being talked about enough. It'll be interesting to see how much Murphy gets worked in when he's healthy (should be a lot) and if they do make adjustments with Cappas position.
