Sam Hubbard Addresses Struggles, Key to Cincinnati Bengals' Defense Generating More Pressure
The Bengals' defensive front has struggled so far this season. They couldn't generate any pressure on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels on Monday night, which helped the second overall pick post historic numbers."I don't want to talk about injuries," Hubbard said on Wednesday. "I think I definitely could play better - fixing my mistakes, getting with my coach, getting a rotation going. I think Ced stepped in and played great.
Hubbard has 10 tackles and no sacks in three games. He also has a few missed tackles and hasn't generated consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks, despite being on the opposite side of Trey Hendrickson. The Commanders converted 8-of-9 third or fourth down attempts on Monday night. What's the key to getting more pressure?
"First we've got to stop the run," Hubbard said. "We've got to put ourselves in third and long situations where we get an opportunity to pin our ears back. Once we get that and get a lead then we get to tee off. That's the formula for rushing the passer."James Rapien is the publisher of Bengals On SI. He's also the host of the Locked on Bengals podcast and Cincinnati Bengals Talk on YouTube.
