This is part of the problem. In the usual Bengals tradition we had a position group wiped out by injuries. Unfortunately for us it is DT and also DE is depleted. Jenkins finally got to play and even with a club was good. The next step is getting someone next to him - like Jackson. Hopefully Murphy when he returns continues the growth we saw in preseason and later last season so Hubbard can be spelled. If not at this point I think I cut Hubbard's snaps or move him inside next to Jenkins and let Cedric take that DE spot - he has much better physical tools right now.
