Yeah, I mean, I thought he was good.

Well, I think a lot of reports that trade demand is ridiculous. I think the Bengals have really done a bad job of really realizing that, one, he wants to get paid. Two, he's been trying to get paid for some time. This isn't the first time he's kind of knocked on the door. And three, he's all they have. Like, I don't know... I mean, Jermaine Hubbard's retired. Jermaine Pratt is gone.

I think Vaughn Bell's gone. Like, they don't have a defense. Like, he is the defense. I don't understand how you don't make it work with him, especially because I think they were three and eight in one score games, right? Like, they need help defensively, and he's the only bright spot. I understand wanting to pay Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins, but right now you don't have a defense.

You need something. You can score all the points in the world, but if you can't stop anybody, you're pretty much going to repeat what happened to you this year. I understand Joe Burrow's a damn good quarterback. I understand what Jamar Chase can do. But I also understand that Jamar Chase was extremely efficient because they had a damn good number two in T. Higgins.

So I understand what you want to do offensively, but you got to figure it out defensively and let it go. Hendricks, I don't know how you make sense of that. You need him on your defense. And to your point, he hasn't slowed down. I remember Hendricks when he was with the Saints. He was a dog dead, and he's only continued to be a dog. So it's definitely a head-scratcher.

Hope everything's well. Hope the family's good. But no, that's not happening.
