Wish somebody would come out and explain the Ross situation actually.
Hated the pick per much bigger needs. But after it was made would like to know why he barely saw the field ?
Could not have just been the fumble which was early in the game and play worked perfectly except fumble.
Mixon started 7 games. He didn't start a game until Jeremy Hill was out for the year.
WJIII started in 5 games. Lawson started in 1 game.
Only one player drafted in the last two years started more than 8 games last year.
Granted, it's a little different when you go into snap percentages. But no one on offense drafted in the last 2 years has gotten 40% of snaps on offense, all are below.
Defense is different, as WJIII got 60% snaps, which is needed. But everyone else on defense drafted in the last 2 years is below 42%
There was a major difference when the team started to play their younger players towards the end of the season. For instance, Tyler Boyd was used in the last two games and was a major part in both wins. The Bengals played Westerman finally in the final 2 games.
The Bengals offense had 2 of their top 3 showings on offense in those final 2 games when it comes to yardage, top 4 when it comes to points.
