Sure, that's a bar, but my main concern is pass rush apart from Hendrickson in general.
If Ossai can cover that and get 7+ sacks himself (more what Hubbard usually got around during his better years), then Stewart can take more time and that's fine.
If Ossai flounders or gets hurt, the Bengals will need someone to carry that load.
Bengals might need both Ossai and either Murphy or Stewart if Hendrickson doesn't play some games.
I'm very nervous about Stewart's readiness to contribute in the passing game, and same with Murphy.
Expecting a big year from Ossai especially on 3rd downs rushing from the inside. One of my bold predictions is Ossai has more sacks
than Trey this year. Also think Murphy will show some of why he was a 1st round pick this year, have heard some good things about
Murphy which is nice to hear after his terrible sophomore showing.
Stewart will be a better pass rusher than Sam, it is just the finishing part that is the big concern, but if others get the sack it's all good IMO.
