So Yeah, we are diving in today talking about Some injury updates. So we're gonna tackle those first before we get into some bold predictions For a rookie on that defense first things first Jamar and Tee a little bit of a scare last week. They are both on track to play So it's looking good for them We're you know as of right now the way that it looks they are on track to play their full participants in practice No limitations there. Zach Taylor said he is not concerned now. I'm gonna make this full screen for us Here is the current way the injury report stands We don't have the updated one for today Thursday But as you can see Jamar chase with the knee T Higgins with the foot It was like a heel type deal and then Jamar Stewart with the knee all full participants for Wednesday's practice Now we're gonna dive a little bit more into the Bucs in the coming days as we get closer to the game and the game Preview and all that but as you can see some some key players there Ruben Bain, Emeka Ibuka, Jalen McMillan So some key pieces there that we're gonna keep our eyes on That uh, that might might kind of be Some interesting injuries that will very much impact the game because I really do see the Bengals winning this one and Right now on Cal she the Bengals are favored with a 66% So, you know, I'm currently going to be picking them to win this one I'm actually gonna put $25 on the Bengals to win this one I think it's a guarantee and if you put in 25, you actually return $36.98 on Cal she right now if you choose Yes on them to win this game and to be honest The greatest thing about Cal she is that you're trading directly against other users not the house like a traditional sports book So you're buying yes or no contracts on the outcome of events across sports Politics you can even do the weather if you want it.

So we appreciate that Now diving back in talked about some injuries. We're talking more now about Some other players a key player on that defense who there have been some bold Predictions about so we're gonna dive in and the key player we are talking about is Cassius Howell Rookie on this defense the Bengals first pick of the draft So John breach CBS NFL analyst writes this I'm gonna summarize it because it is a bit of a big quote but he said two years ago, he predicted Jared verse would win defense rookie of the year and He it was it was correct So this year he is jumping on the cashless Howell bandwagon love to see it a front seven player has won this award in eight of the past ten years and How's gonna keep that trend going? He says so continuing with that. I would love to see it as well John I would absolutely I mean I I see it as a very realistic thing Honestly, depending on how this defense shapes out it it honestly looks pretty beneficial for him to win it And he says the easiest way for a defensive player to win This award is rack up sacks and he is set up perfect to do it with the additions on this defense Dexter Lawrence Jonathan Allen Boy a moffet on the other edge, you know you've got developing players and Shemar Stewart and Myles Murphy Myles Murphy probably going to be the starter on the other end of Boy a moffet and so filling in I do think he's gonna get a lot of sacks this season You know Lawrence is gonna see some double teams that's gonna open the door for someone to shine and He says that he thinks it's gonna be the 41st overall pick back in April with Cassius Howell Now he concludes with this. He says let's not forget it. He's a very sack. He's in a very sack friendly division Talks about Aaron Rodgers. He's been sacked more than any other QB in NFL history Talks about the Browns and how they gave up 51 sacks last year seventh most in the NFL Only eight teams they gave up 49 sacks or more Bengals get to play four games against those eight teams so He is in a pretty good position to be set up to get plenty of sack numbers this year and Cassius Howell is a player that I Just think he has that explosiveness I think there was a lot of limitations about when the Bengals first picked him But I think the track record speaks for itself 27 sacks across his college career nine and a half With his last year with Bowling Green and then 11 and a half this past season with Texas A&M and 14 of those Tackles for losses as well. Just a player who knows how to get in the backfield I mean we've talked in depth about the history of Cassius Howell and why this was such a solid pick And I think the league is starting to take notice a little bit and see that the Bengals are Contenders this year. Let's face it. They I mean the more Time that passes the closer we get to the NFL season officially starting for the Bengals More and more analysts are saying that the Bengals are going to Make it to the Super Bowl at the very least. Okay, and I Very much do see this as a year that they are able to do that And I think that Cassius Howell can play a very significant role in that and I do think that he has a serious chance To go out and win defensive rookie of the year I mean if he puts up more than five and a half sacks, he's already boasting more sacks than our leading Our sack leader last season Myles Murphy at five and a half That's the most we had on our defense last season and he wasn't even supposed to be Really the star of the defense. It was supposed to be Trey Hendrickson. And that's that whole story I think the way this defense looks right now. I'm pumped up about it I personally think he has a serious shot, but I'm curious to see what you guys think Do you think Cassius Howell wins defensive rookie of the year? Do you think it's too much of a long shot with him not being a day one starter technically on that outside? Let me know down in the comments why for yes and for no be sure to let me know and comment down below We'll keep you up to date on all news heading into day one of the Bengals season where they take on the Buccaneers and We'll keep you up to date until then. But thank you guys for joining and I hope you have a great rest of your day
