The Cincinnati Bengals have had a revolving door of right tackles in the Joe Burrow era. One year rentals, bandaids and some struggles all lead them to Amarius Mims. After being forced into action earlier than expected his rookie year, Mims hasn’t looked back.
Now, in his third season, Mims is taking his All Pro potential and putting it on tape week in and week out. He has lined up across from the likes of Ruben Bain Jr., Will Anderson, Daniele Hunter and T.J. Watt without allowing a single pressure on Joe Burrow.
> “In PFF’s overall ranking among right and left tackles, Mims is the sixth-best pass blocker on a star-studded list of Denver’s Garrett Bolles, Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs, Johnson, the Dolphins’ Patrick Paul, and the Raiders’ Kolton Miller.”
> “The Bengals put up 27 points and had a productive day through the air without Iosivas or Young. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Mike Gesicki can still share the main targets, but the unit can’t afford to suffer many more injuries without a major impact to follow.”
> ““We’ve got a really good defensive end group, you know, and all four of those guys played,” Taylor said. “I thought they played well. There’s going to be moments we get Shemar more involved. Yesterday just didn’t work out that way. You know, he’s still nine practices in, really. Started practicing three weeks ago. Happy with him. He’s got a great effort, great attitude.”
> “For as strong of a game Burrow had with completing 28-of-37 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns, the mistakes from everyone on the team were too costly for them to overcome when it mattered most.”
> “Cincinnati gave up 292 passing yards and three touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers. Several of those TDs came after coverage mistakes. On a 23-yard touchdown pass to Ben Skowronek, Jordan Battle bit on an inside-out double move and left the middle of the field open. :
