Arkansas Bengal Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Chris Roling Sun, Oct 15, 2023, 7:41 PM CDT·1 min read Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt was the star of the show during his team’s win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The Bengals unleashed CTB in the sense that they sent him all over the field chasing physical star Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf no matter where he went. After the game, Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton said the Bengals wanted to play bully ball with one of the league’s most physically imposing wideouts. “The bullies get bullied,” Hilton, said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “We know that’s Metcalf’s type of game. He wants to get in corners’ heads. But we knew once we put 29 (Taylor-Britt) on him, all that was dead. He’s not used to guys pushing back and getting physical with him, Once the game plan was for Cam to follow 14 (Metcalf), we knew what time it was.” CTB’s big day, which included a diving interception, limited Metcalf to four catches for 69 yards. Also, this 15 yards for the Bengals defense because CTB was under Metcalf’s skin in a big way: Was this a breakout game for CTB? Maybe. But either way, it’s clear he’s going to be a top fixture of the defense for a long time. https://sports.yahoo.com/bengals-sent-cam-taylor-britt-004118820.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Bengal Posted October 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Seattle's DK Metcalf penalized for cheap-shot shove of Cincinnati's Cam Taylor-Britt Dave Clark, Cincinnati Enquirer Sun, Oct 15, 2023, 1:21 PM CDT·1 min read Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness for shoving Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt to the ground away from the ball on a short pass play from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith to running back Zach Charbonnet during the second quarter of Sunday's NFL Week 6 game at Paycor Stadium. Metcalf had been held without a catch when the penalty happened. He had his first catch of the game later in the second quarter. Metcalf appeared to be injured trying to catch a ball out of bounds during the third quarter, and jogged to the locker room a short time later. The Seahawks confirmed a hip injury, and said his return was questionable. Social media reactions to the penalty, including from The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway: https://sports.yahoo.com/seattles-dk-metcalf-penalized-cheap-182124305.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 CTB is the best CB on the team (that's no longer in dispute). But I think he's also making the case for being top 10 in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Don't forget the Bengals traded up ahead of San Fran to draft CTB (they later admitted they were taking him), something the Bengals almost never do. ... And now the next game SF will get to see "the one that got away" up close in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKOTA Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 CTB and DJT2 will be a nice CB tandem for at least the next 3 years. Find a replacement for Hilton in the slot (Chido at a reduced rate?). Chido has the feet to play slot and he’s lost some speed after the ACL so makes perfect sense. Along with the young safeties this defensive backfield could be pretty damn impressive for several years to come. Need to mature, gain more experience and learn nuance as a result. Once that happens, watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKOTA Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 ^Although Chido isn’t near the blitzer Hilton is. Nor is he as good near the line overall, which makes sense as he’s a boundary corner. If Mike Hilton was taller and faster, his savvy and football instinct would make him a top 5 CB. Unfortunately he’s small and slow, but is the epitome of a “football player” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatternMaster Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Metcalf is going full-on stupid, he's still butt hurt about the loss and being called out by his coach for losing his head and getting a stupid penalty. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dk-metcalf-vows-not-to-change-the-way-he-plays Quote "“It’s just a board to me, I’m not going to change the way I play,” Metcalf told reporters. “If you look at the penalties, there’s a taunting, unnecessary roughness, facemask, holding, and I think it was one more in there. I’m doing pretty good if I look at it and judge myself knowing how I play and just try to be consistent and have clean hands or whatever the case maybe, but I’m not going to change who I am as a player or a person.” He was asked whether he gets caught up in the moment and loses control. “Have you had a bad day at work sometimes?” Metcalf said. “All right, that’s all I nail it down to, nobody’s perfect. I’m my own person like I just said I’m a competitive person, I’m not going to shy away because he put a penalty board on the screen. I’m just going to continue to be me.” Metcalf wouldn’t even concede that his behavior is harming the team’s interests. “I don’t feel like I was a problem or I need to make progress in a certain area,” he said. “Football is a violent sport and it’s my one opportunity to be violent on game days, I’m just going to continue to do that.” What a clown, he can't take constructive criticism or feedback despite evidence that his actions are hurting his team. It's a thin margin between success and failure in the NFL and if you have a guy knowingly getting stupid penalties so he can feel better about himself then....wow...don't know what to say about that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets burned at times because of his lack of speed but brings do much value to a team on the field and in the Locker room 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, he needed to be ejected from the game on that blind sided push down. Reason, he could've been injured. He did that on purpose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothD Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not too many CBs in the league that can handle D.K. "Omni-Man" Metcalf without any help. Glad CTB is finally getting his due recognition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTB got abused early in the year. if he keeps playing like he has th elast 2-3 weeks though he will shoot up the rankings quickly.. but top 10 is bananas at this point.
