Odell Thurman 5 INTS 1 SACK.numerous forced fumbles. INT RETURN
VS TITANS THAT MAY HAVE TURNED THE SEASON.
result. AFC North title.
2012 Vontaze Burfict. steps in after Thomas Howards tragic death.
I think he was in the top 10 in tackles that year. top 10 in tackle %
within 4 yds of the LOS.
absolute monster.
result 10-6. Wild card.
2018. Darius Leonard Colts. LB
incredible playmaker for the Colts defense.
result. Playoffs.
I can name other players like JJ Watt, that MLB for the Falcons Jones.
Jalen Ramsey Jags...playoffs his rookie year.
point being that when teams make the playoffs,you will find a rookie defensive
player who makes impact plays during the year.and he really becomes
a tone setter for the defense.
This year the Bengals need a big time year from Pratt or Wren to help
get this defense to another level.
almost need a guy that has some swagger on D thats not afraid to get
into the heads of the offense.
look it up yourself.playoff teams and a real rookie igniter on defense.
Kind of wild that Pratt reminds me a lot of Leonard. Pratt should get every opportunity with his ability to cover and tackle. He is a 3 down Linebacker and can play every spot. Wren has Suh upside but he needs to learn how to use his hands better, bottom line these guys need good coaching. We will see how the coaches get these guys up to speed.
