From Hobson on Bengals.com
Reader and three technique Larry Ogunjobi, both have a sack. Edge Trey Hendrickson has 2.5. Sam Hubbard, the other edge, has 1.5 sacks. Rotational edge B.J. Hill, has three sacks. They were all born within nearly a year of each other, from June 3, 1994 (Ogunjobi) to June 29, 1995 (Hubbard). All but Hubbard arrived in 2020 or this year.
TERRIFIC THIRD: One of the biggest differences between this year and last year is what the Bengals are doing out of halftime. Last year they were nearly doubled up in the third quarter, 98-53. After four games they've nearly scored as many already with 35 while only giving up one touchdown.
"We're a completely different team than we were last year. You've got your quarterback back, you've got a lot of the guys you've drafted and a lot of the guys are healthy," says head coach Zac Taylor. "We added pieces to our offensive line, and (running back Joe) Mixon's back. You just think of last year and not having Joe and Joe and Jonah (Williams) at times. (Tyler Boyd) missed a couple games there with injuries late. Tee (Higgins) had a hamstring he was dealing with. We didn't have Ja'Marr (Chase). We didn't have C.J. (Uzomah). So now you just add a bunch of pieces and it gets to be more what you look like."
From Me:
This doesn't even account for Trae Waynes who just made his first start as a Bengal, Hilton and Awuzie weren't here, and the play of the Bengals young LBers have been very encouraging.
Those are a lot of pieces that got right in the offseason. Draft, free agency and health. Now, we just need to keep our players healthy and on the field. That is biggest first key to success. Keep your stars on the field.
