This is one of the issues you see when there are multiple high-dollar guys getting paid not to play.  The injuries to Williams and Green, and the retirement of Westerman and Boling, surrounded Glenn with people not going through the rigors of camp.  I have never seen a lineman with a concussion from the preseason go until almost the end of the season. I don't want to say the guy was faking, but as I stated earlier, I just don't see him as someone that loves the game.  He loves to get paid but doesn't seem to love to play.  Has amazing physical traits, though.

That is one of the things I wish the Bengals would focus more on when drafting (I know it isn't easy to evaluate) but they seem to go for physical attributes over gamers.  Over guys that live for the game.  I think of tackling machines like Zach Thomas, pinball WRs like Julian Edelman, and QBs with incredible determination and intelligence (DeShawn Watson).  None of those guys broke records at the combine but will go down as some of the most productive at their position (more than likely).

I think of Sam Hubbard....didn't dominate in any catagory at the combine, but is someone that plays full throttle and has been a very important part of the defensive line.  He has been one of their better picks of late.  Let's see more of that.
