Top 10 Bengals Philadelphia Eagles must account for to avoid another loss
6. player. 56. . . . A.J. Green, wide receiver
A.J. Green could show the Philadelphia Eagle he still got it.
It seems like it was forever ago when A.J. Green was among the NFL’s upper echelon of wide receivers. The ‘Julio Jones or A.J. Green’ debate seemed like a matter of taste and there was no wrong answer when picking the best wideout from 2011’s draft class.
Recently, injuries have derailed Green’s career while Jones has remained at the top of the wide receiver hierarchy. After only missing three games during his first five years of his NFL, Green has missed 29 over the course of the last three.
Now healthy, Green has suited up for the Bengals’ first two games of the 2020 season. He’s hauled in eight receptions for 80 yards. He’s no longer the team’s number one receiver and his best days are probably behind him, but he surely has something left in the tank. Philly can’t let him take them by surprise in Week 3.
. Jonah Williams, left tackle. 5. player. 56. .
Jonah Williams was a highly touted prospect coming out of Alabama in 2019 and was the first left tackle taken in last year’s selection meeting. He seemed poised to be the Bengals’ left tackle for the next ten years, but the football gods had other plans in mind. Not long after starting summer practices, Willaims underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum.
One year later, Williams is finally healthy, and he’s been a pillar for the Bengals. During the first two games, he’s allowed six hurries and one hit on his quarterback, but he hasn’t allowed a sack. Although it was one year later than anticipated, Williams looks the part and could indeed become a fixture at the left tackle position in the city of Cincinnati for the foreseeable future.
