Good news, our rookie speedster went full go today in practice.

Let;s hope he stays healthy and has a productive rookie season
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

This is fantastic news. He and Andy will need to get that timing down good, just to see how far down the field he and the ball can meet, after a 1.4 second release..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I'm excited to see what this kid can do. Could you imagine how the season could go if he's healthy and helps to keep opposing defenses honest? The help he could offer Green could be amazing. I'm just as excited about Mixon. I loved our first two picks in this draft. Could be a big year.

I loved the amount of speed we added, it was incredible on both sides of the ball.

Agreed. We added a lot of much needed speed. I just left the D out since we were talking about Ross. Haha

Wonder how long it will take for him to get tired of jogging 40 yards back to the line of scrimmage every time Andy gets sacked.

actually he will be jogging out of the end zone after the TD pass as they pick Andy up after Ross burns the Defense and able to catch up to the rushed pass by Dalton because of pressure...

With the way they bring guys back it's a double win it was John and not Adrian Ross. Can't wait to see this guy wreck game plans.

The speed he brings is incredible. The skill he brings is pretty special too.

Can he really be "back" if he was never here to start with?

He has been here for all of training camp, just never doing full contact. But TY for trying to derail the thread

I'm comfortable he'll be fine, but he's still got to show that he can make the contested catches and run the routes..Speed's great, but it has to go with everything else.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I got a chance to see him run routes at a practice a couple of weeks ago. His quickness and route running in my opinion was more impressive than his speed. I worry if he can hold up physically, but guys like Antonia Brown (similar size) have held up with a ton of action so hopefully he will too.
