Camp report! Shemar Stewart and Trey Hendrickson have both reported to Cincinnati Bengals training camp.
Matt and Willie discuss the return of Trey Hendrickson, albeit via hold-in. What does it mean? Are we getting close to a deal? Is this just a power play?
Then they talk about the youth movement on defense. The Bengals are looking to utilize the young talent that’s been neglected in recent years and push more young players into key defensive roles. More than that, they are embracing their identity
as a young, feisty, chippy defense.
So what does that mean for Trey?
Obviously, he is their best defensive player, and they need him out there, but how does the veteran fit in to the Al Golden age? He said he wants to be a captain. Is he the kind of leader this group needs?
After the Bengals gave up the smallest concession imaginable so that his future former agent could save face after making himself, Shemar Stewart is in the house. How has he been received? How has he looked?
We transition from the most talked about players of the offseason to the least talked about player of the offseason: Jermaine Burton.
The way his rookie season went, no news is good news with Burton, and fortunately, all has been quiet. Now we are starting to see why the Bengals were so excited about him, as he has been a camp standout, making big plays left and right.
And let’s not forget about Ja’Marr Chase and his well-deserved 99 rating in Madden.
Taco-bout impressive. Amirite?
