In Week 2, the Cincinnati Bengals became only the 3rd team to have 5 pass rushers with 5+ pressures in the same game since 2022, per @SumerSports.
Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, Cashius Howell, and Cedric Johnson all made the list
The SCARY part about this is, the Texans defense showed up. They hit the Sh*t outta Joe Burrow today….
And it didn’t matter. The Bengals controlled the game from start to finish.
"Holding them to no touchdowns? That's a pretty good statement."
Here's Dexter Lawrence with @FOX19Joe postgame on a statement by the #Bengals defense. @FOX19
Amarius Mims allowed 0 pressures on 34 pass block snaps today vs. the Texans and Will Anderson/Danielle Hunter, per PFF initial charting.
If that holds, that will be zero pressures on 70+ pass block snaps to start the season.
He’s quickly becoming an elite RT.
Cincinnati's OL played very well against what should have been a better Bucs pass rush. Kancey got Fairchild pretty good, but every other Bengals OL had a pressure percentage below 8.1% per @NextGenStats. Specifically, Amarius Mims only allowed 2 pressures on 37 dropbacks
@CashEMU21@Ameri_DS@Bengals They’ll bring in someone else before the season starts. A lot of players get cut after June 1 as well. They will bring in another. I really like the UDFA they got from USC (Eric Gentry). I think he has a legit chance to make the team.
@Ameri_DS@Bengals The coaches and FO said themselves they believe in their LB’s and felt they were set up to fail last season. This was expected if you listen to them. They could still get a FA later on.
