The Bengals add one of Joe Mixon’s old teammates to their backfield."The Bengals double dipped into the running back class by selecting Oklahoma rusher Rodney Anderson. Anderson joins fellow rookie Trayveon Williams http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-preston-brown-jersey , longtime Bengals running back, Giovani Bernard, and fellow Sooner running back Joe Mixon in a now stacked Bengals backfield.What Anderson brings to the BengalsPower: Not the Kanye West kind. At 6’1” 219, Anderson has nearly identical proportions to Mixon. This compared to Bernard who is 5’9” 208 and Williams who is 5’9” 200. With Anderson, they now have another back who can run for power if Mixon is injured or in need of a need a breather. This prevents them from being predictable offensively like they were in the Jeremy Hill/Bernard days. Big Plays: Anderson has a knack from breaking big plays. He scored 18 touchdowns on 205 touches in 2017 and is a threat to take it the distance at any time.Multi-Talented Back: In addition to being a skilled rusher, Anderson has the ability to contribute in the pass game. Much like Mixon Womens Vontaze Burfict Jersey , he can be flexed out and used as a receiver or make plays on screen passes.Why the Bengals picked AndersonValue: Anderson had a great year in 2017 stepping in the footsteps of Mixon before him, but in 2018, an ACL injury ended his season just as it began. If he was healthy in 2018 and matched his 2017 numbers, he would have never made it this deep into the draft. The Bengals got a great value on a player who could have great value to the franchise.Depth: Zac Taylor saw the struggles that Todd Gurley had as the long NFL season took its toll, so he went out and got a back who shares a lot of similarities with Mixon. Both can run for power, but they thrive due to their patience as zone rushers Jordan Willis Jersey , and excel as receivers out of the backfield. This will allow the team to spell Mixon from time to time and not see a major drop off or have to change their scheme,Scheme Change: Adding not one, but two running backs in the draft shows that they are valuing depth at the position in a way that they haven’t in the past. This may mean that they are evolving offensively, and we will be seeing multiple backs on the field at once with at least one of them lined up as a receiver. It makes sense because Mixon, Bernard, Williams Womens Vincent Rey Jersey , and Anderson are all skilled pass catchers. This would be a big change from years past when they would feature two backs and buried Rex Burkhead deep on the depth chart where he had to wait for Bill Belichick to swoop in and revitalize his career. Hopefully, they will utilize the depth and talent that they now possess at the position, The Cincinnati Bengals have suspended Cordy Glenn one game for internal disciplinary reasons, the team announced Friday.Glenn, who has been placed on the Reserve/Suspended by Club list, will not count against the team’s 53-player roster while serving the suspension. One assumes this free roster spot will be used to activate cornerback Darqueze Dennard from PUP and get him into the lineup for Sunday’s matchup with the Jaguars. The Bengals added they will have no further comment regarding the suspension.With Glenn set to miss Sunday’s game now Shawn Williams Jersey White , the Bengals will likely go with John Jerry at left tackle again.On Thursday, PFT reported that Glenn and the Bengals were at odds over the handling of his concussion. A confrontation occurred during Wednesday’s practice that prompted a fine of $200,000, and now a suspension. Glenn has missed the first six games of the regular season due to a concussion suffered in Week 2 of the preseason, though he was cleared to resume fully practicing this week. It’s hard to see this relationship being repaired and Glenn remaining with the Bengals for the rest of the season, but the team will likely try to trade him for something prior to the NFL Trade Deadline in two weeks. Of course Rodney Anderson Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , the two sides could try to work this out and eventually get him back into the starting lineup at left tackle, one of the biggest weaknesses on the team right now. But in a lost season, is it really worth keeping an embattled Glenn to potentially be a distraction for the rest of the team?
