Cool that he was wearing an Ohio cap. He doesn't have any previous Ohio connection, does he? Anyone know who makes those?

I’d say he’s right up there. Maybe him and Vita Vea.

I still astounded at that quality of talent and character on this team. DJ is the man.

I had heard the Reader was the beast on the Dline all year and while I certainly noticed him at times. Playing the run as well as he does sometimes his great plays go unnoticed. But he has been an absolute beast this post season. Not just last night. It seemed like late in the Raiders game every big run they had would get was brought back because they couldn't handle Reader without holding him. Then in a game where all the talk is about the Titans run game he steps up and really plays well.

go to Bengals.com and watch Reader's entire press conference. The entire thing is very compelling and he talks more about the team's mentality and attitude

Reader is a road moving road block! Everyone thought Henry was going to run wild but Reader and Lou had other plans!
The real superstars shine brightest in the biggest games and Reader was a beacon of light in the biggest game since 1988 for the Bengals.

I saw, early in the game, Henry got chugging, met Reader and BOOM! Down went Henry. I was like "Ok, we got an answer for him."
Like a teenage girl driving a Ferrari.

I get that Henry is a monster, but it almost seemed like the national media thought that the Bengals were going to run a couple of practice squad scrubs out there at DT after the Ogunjobi injury. It was a foregone conclusion that whoever it was was going to get steamrolled by King Henry and left for roadkill.
it shouldn't be a mystery to people that this dude is one of the best in the league at his position, but if they were unaware before, they aren't now.
DJ was money well spent and a great find for the front office/staff.

If you think about everyone who made huge plays, aside from Bates, most of these guys were added in the past 2 years through FA or the draft.
