I watched the condensed version of the game and Mike Hilton was all over the place and I believe had 2 sacks and a TFL so I voted
for Mike since I haven't had the chance to vote for him this year. Love this guy, great tackler and need to bring him back. Vonn Bell
had the play of the game though causing and recovering that fumble at the 1 yard line.
Awesome seeing Kris Jenkins get a couple sacks and McKinnley getting one. I like these guys for the future and Trey upped his league
leading Sack total once again. Saw DJ Ivey make a couple of nice plays as well on Defense.
Burrow, Ja'Marr and Chase Brown were all awesome once again. That one pass by Joe to Sample was Mahomesesque, just nutz and
so was the TD pass to Tee where he was falling down. Joe is becoming greatness.
I think it is easy to take Burrow for granted. Browns have a very good pass defense, and Myles Garrett is elite. How many other QBs threw for 3 TD's against the Browns in 2024?
Browns have opposing QB's only 61.3% completion rate, 3rd best in the NFL. They have given up 23 TD's in 15 games, Burrow threw for 5 TD's against them in 2024 and no picks.
Burrow is a beast; Chase is a beast. But I would argue while Yoshi is getting better, we don't have a stud 3rd WR. Joe also plays behind an OL who lost their 2 starting tackles most of the year and guards are suspect. He has become very good escaping pressure and making huge plays like the TD to Tee yesterday.
Great game by Jenkins and also McKinley coming along, Bell huge play as well. Brown is becoming a steady RB.
Burrow gets my vote. Chase was great as well.
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.

I love me some Yoshi. I think he has great potential and has improved this year. 10 tds (6 this year) for a 6th rounder is very nice, and he seems to be a good blocking WR as well.
But he also ranks 95th out of 95 qualified WRs at PFF. I'd like him more as #4. Love to Burton and Jones step up. Or us draft a WR3/TE1 this year, but I think DE/IOL/DT may take priority.

Yoshi's one catch against Denzel Ward on the sideline was great. That shown me something, never seen him make a hands catch like that
before deep down the sideline. Makes me hopeful for Yoshi in the future, probably correct on needing an End/IOL/DT early in the Draft more
than another WR especially if we bring back Tee.

Yeah, Nicomo posted Mike's posts on Twitter where he breaks it down: essentially, they were RPOs, so they are running plays unless the QB tucks the ball and then begins to throw it.
Hilton got there so fast that it was still in run stages. Like if you tackle a QB while he is doing a playaction motion: he hasn't gotten into position to throw the ball yet, so it counts as a straight tackle and not a sack.

It's going to be tough to replace Hilton's talent when father time does him. He's so good at blitzing and attacking the ball.
Okay, they were called runs. Did not know this watching the condensed version. Plays happen really fast condensed.
Will watch it again with the full game option maybe later today while I am cooking pies.

Cool, great plays by Mike regardless. DTR is a very good running QB and he can give Defenses fits if he gets going running the ball.

That is why we need to bring him back until father time starts to show. He is a small dude so he could actually last a bit longer than
if he was a big Corner and he knows how to tackle the right way which can keep him healthy.
