Should We Be Concerned About Cincinnati Bengals' Defense?

Transcript

00:00 defense, I know they forced turnovers and they forced turnovers yesterday too. And that

00:04 was the theme during their, their four game winning streak. But this idea that, all right,

00:10 you can give up yards and not points. I love the Ben not break mentality, but they gave

00:14 up entirely too many yards. And I shouldn't see a guy that a street free agent and single

00:21 Terry running for five yards to carry 30 on 30 rushes. It's not like he ran the ball five

00:26 times. And so fast forward to Thursday night, if they don't have Trey Hendricks and he's

00:31 dealing with a hyper extended knee, Ian Rappaport reporting it. We'll see. It's a really short

00:35 week. I think that's a tough ask. I'm not sure about Hubbard. Haven't heard much on

00:39 him. He's been walking around with really nothing on his ankle, but he didn't even practice

00:44 at all last week. Didn't get close to the practice field. So I'm not sure he's close.

00:48 If you don't have either of those guys, can you see them slowing down Lamar Jackson when

00:53 the Ravens are playing at home? No, I mean, when, when Stroud took it in himself to go

00:58 up 10 points, who among us didn't go, what's going to happen when that's Lamar Jackson.

01:05 Like that was my first thought was, ah, hell they're down 10 points, but also what's that

01:10 going to look like on Thursday when it's, when it's Lamar and a Ravens offense that

01:14 is cooking right now. I mean, say what you want about them blowing a 14 point lead to

01:18 Cleveland. They hung 30 points on a very good defense yesterday.

01:21 So, you know, it's, it's more than just what Lamar is going to do with his legs. Yeah.

01:25 To me, that was the real gut punch came with watching Trey Hendricks and Lyther on the

01:30 ground. And you know, fortunately it doesn't seem like it's an injury. That's all that

01:34 serious, but it is a quick turnaround. You already don't have Sam Hubbard and the guys

01:39 behind him on the defensive line. Where's miles Murphy been, where's Joseph OSI been

01:44 those guys haven't haven't made plays. And so, yeah, the ease with which Houston move

01:51 the ball. You know, I'm a big fan of Ben don't break too, but it only works when you're getting

01:56 opportune turnovers and you know, God love them.

01:58 They got one yesterday with cam Taylor Britt, right. And it gives them a chance to win.

02:03 But if you keep bending at some point you will break, right? I mean, that's, I think

02:09 that's a basic law of physics. I don't know. I was a communications major, but if you keep

02:14 bending at some point, you're going to break.
