kingseanjohn Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I imagine he’ll get another shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I thought he was solid? Maybe not a starter, but a solid rotational piece. How did he fall off that fast? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sryan66611 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I wanted him in the draft after his beast of a combine workout. I thought I saw him during the first pre-season when he was drafted do pretty well at pressuring the QB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchFalcon Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Liked him quite a bit heading into the draft. Wouldn't mind giving him a shot altough I'm not sure how our cap situation is right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he fall off that fast? Bengals are insanely deep on the DL. He's still a rotational piece. Just hasn't developed much as a pass rusher. IIRC, he's a good run stopper with some positional versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he fall off that fast? I haven’t actually watched much, but he has like 2 career sacks and 7 QB hits. From a statistical standpoint, that tells me he either can’t get on the field in passing downs or isn’t a great pass rusher. Given how much time Lawson has missed, I imagine he’d have had the inside track on playing time (ahead of then-rookie Hubbard), but hasn’t capitalized on it. Or I guess, Hubbard is that good.

Awsi Dooger Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I didn't like his NFL pass rush potential at Kansas State. Then I don't think I've ever seen anyone exceed my combine expectations like he did. Drill after drill I would have pegged him below average, based on apparent athletic ability in college. Then somehow he tested elite. However, no chance I was going to jump shift and overreact. I saw some posts on many sites exclaiming that his athletic ability had been obvious all along. That was hilarity. He's turned out to be who I thought he was. Lanky guy who is somewhat long striding and one gear...not special enough to defeat NFL tackles off the edge.

His athleticism isn't in question. He's always looked the part as a Bengal. His problem was his hands usage is very poor. He can't get around the edge because tackles get a hand on him and he's done.

He would have stuck around as a rotational piece, but the Bengals had so many Dlinemen they liked (ask Seattle about that) they couldn't find a spot for him.

theJ Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 So basically, he's going to be fine on the Jets. He's NFL worthy, and could be really good if he could figure out how to use his hands. Decent run stopper, sub-optimal pass rusher. Also, he will dominate your 3rd stringers in the preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
