Stock up:
Hubbard- Didn't get home on any but looked like a beast. Was straight up bull-rushing and was closing that edge very well. I think he is going to have a huge season and end up being the steal in last year's draft.
Billings- Thought there was nothing in the middle, and he didn't have Geno next to him. Actually flushed Mahommes out of the pocket a couple times. This, as NT. This, also, without Geno or Dunlap to help finish.
Tony McRae- Quality CB that held his own all game. That position needs depth and the Bengals have it.
Honorable Mention: Drew Sample. This guy is going to be our Swiss Army Knife.
Stock down (hard to drill down to just three):
John Jerry- Hope he is just an incentive to get more out of Westerman and he got the nod game 1 out of veteran status.
Malik Jefferson- You aren't supposed to sell when a stock is low, but he looks lost and tentative. At least he wasn't alone.
Mason Shreck- Probably behind Jordan Franks and Cethan Carter. Doesn't look like he worked out at all in the offseason. Pudgy and slow. Nice job pissing away an opportunity. Buh-bye.
Honorable Mention: Lou Anarumo. I am not buying the crap "we didn't want to show anything". Your scheme looked beyond vanilla and your defense played with the aggression of a snail. It was like Mediocre Marv and his inspirational addresses never left (on defense anyways)
I thought Billings looked out of shape and slow. Even for a big man. They gave Tupou a ton of snaps, so I wonder the starting job is still up for grabs.
Also, Dunlap played. He actually took a costly penalty.
