5 Questions with Cincy Jungle: What we learned about the Bengals

Overall, pretty good. The offensive line was borderline dominant in the first half, but the loss of Lucas Patrick at right guard threw some wonkiness into the mix and Orlando Brown, Jr. struggled with Garrett, but that comes with the territory. The Patrick injury may prove to be beneficial (I hate phrasing things that way and never wish injury on anyone), as veteran Dalton Risner will step in, which may have been the team’s plan in a few weeks in any way.

The defensive line looked solid, as well. Stewart didn’t show up much in the stat columns, but he had a couple of batted passes (one was negated by a penalty), and was a presence in the backfield. Hendrickson had a timely sack and B.J. Hill had one from the interior as well--the latter is back at his best position inside and has true nose tackle help this year in T.J. Slayton, which helps free him up. I am curious to see how the EDGEs opposite Hendrickson set the edge against the run going forward, as the recently retired Sam Hubbard was very effective in that regard.
