![]() Remember, Dalton was on pace for his best season before the thumb injury, and many people thought he was in the MVP hunter before that. And we should expect Eifert, and possibly Andy Dalton on this list next season. Still, the Bengals are a stacked team, and with those three core players you can expect them to be back in the playoff hunt next season. Roger Goodell: The Commissioner’s twisted prioritiesĮxclusive: Sports surgeon on Breshad Perriman But, I am assuming that three missed games and a poor run blocking grade hurt himself here.įree Agency: Five NFL teams that should call Eugene MonroeĮxclusive: Charles Johnson on Minnesota special olympics The only Bengals player I was surprised that was left off the list was Tyler Eifert, who lead all tight ends with 14 touchdowns. Given his age, his time at the top at left tackle may be drawing to a close, but there is a very good chance he could have produce a solid season inside at guard to finish his career, where he would likely be an All-Pro player given the cameos we have seen from him in that spot. Over the past two years, he has given up just 30 in total and averaged less than a pressure per game on the edge against some of the league’s best pass-rushers. How do you sum up how consistently excellent Andrew Whitworth is (and has been) for the Cincinnati Bengals? Once again, he was among the best run-blocking tackles in the game, and though he did surrender four sacks in 2015, he gave up just 20 total pressures. Green caught 69.9 percent of the passes thrown his way, and had just three drops from 123 targets.Īnd as for Whitworth, the 4th best overall tackles, and the oldest on this list. It’s no surprise that 2015 was his best season from a grading standpoint, with Andy Dalton also enjoying his best season of play, giving Green a chance with more passes than he had in the past. He has the occasional struggle on tape in a way you don’t tend to see from Antonio Brown or Julio Jones, but he makes up for that by being incredibly difficult to jam at the line or control physically. Green is one of those players that always produces more than I expect him to. Putting him as the 4th best receiver in the entire league.Ī.J. He trailed only Donald in defensive tackle grading in 2015, and notched 82 total pressures to lead all DTs. Atkins is quick and plays with obscene leverage, able to knife through the line or just drive blockers into the backfield by getting under their pads. In 2015, another year removed from the injury, we started to see that guy again. 2012 Geno Atkins recorded the best defensive tackle performance we have seen outside of Aaron Donald for years, but his first year back from that knee injury in 2014 was just a shell of that. Geno Atkins is getting somewhere close to his best again after a knee injury derailed his career. Here is what they had to say on Atkins, who came in as the Bengals best overall player. While Whitworth is the veteran leader on this team, the young talent of Green and Atkins shows you just how well they have drafted over the last half decade.
