He looked good in the run game, as usual, but he also held his own in pass protection very well. I only watched him closely for the first half, but he only was beaten once, and it was a nice move by the defender where he faked like he was going outside, waited until Obguehi started to move that way, and made a speed move underneath to get past him. It's not an excuse, but I think it was more of a great play by the defender than it was a lapse by Obguehi.
He was bullrushed on a great move once but held his own, even though he did get pushed back.
Anyone else notice his play?
We'd obviously need to see it consistently, but am I right in feeling a bit more at ease?
For those in panic mode about our OL and Ced maybe now they can admit maybe they were wrong, he has not been garbage in preseason, Fisher has not been garbage in preseason, Hobkins, Bodine and Boling have not been garbage in the preseason.
I know some will say it is only preseason, but those same would chastise Ced and the OL if that got whipped like we destroyed the OL of the Redskins. Trent Williams was bet by a rookie, not once, but twice, you know all pro Trent Williams. RT Moses was beat by a rookie Willis.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
