I liked him coming out of the draft but I think he might be a tad overhyped by some Bengals fans. I personally did that with Dawson coming out of TCU. Billings had a mencius tear on one of the the 1st days of training camp in his rookie year, Geno completely torn his ACL mid season. I think the injury could have affected him but not to that degree. Hopefully he does well this year if not we need Baker to step up. Agreed we need to get better at stopping the run. Too many 5 yard runs on 1st down, plus Bell from Pitt runs all over us. If we can get in passing downs I like are personal, with Lasown, Dunlap and Geno Rushing and the emergence of Jackson III and Dennard.
Thanks for that on Billings i guess i was told it was an ACL tear just like Billings and just always ran with it.
Straighten me out man
Thats the thing, if we can stop the run and force teams to throw, our pass rushers can pin their ears back more often.
Amazing we got as many sacks and pressures as we did with how bad we were on 1st and 2nd down stopping the run.
We also need to be more aggressive and play more man to man and less passive cushion zone with our Corners.
Blitz once in awhile too and not only at the QB, run blitzes can sometimes change the course of a game.
Have to gamble a bit.
