He is the poster boy for how wrong a mass of fans can be. None will admit it now, but many people here swore that the Bengals playing Peko was proof that they did not care about winning. Then the defending Super Bowl champions signed him and paid him more more than we did to start on one of the best defenses in the league.
Peko was hated no doubt. Again, a player who loved the community and gave back.
He was and is a run stopping DT/NT.
Our run defense always suffered when he was out and after he left. We have too many fans who don't understand role players, they were upset because he was not a pass rusher (but not his role).
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.
