Ryan Clark accuses Bengals of ‘wasting’ Joe Burrow’s career as preseason drama lingers
NY Post
The Cincinnati Bengals are missing the mark.
On Tuesday’s edition of “Get Up,” former Steelers safety and current ESPN NFL personality Ryan Clark said the Bengals are wasting Joe Burrow’s prime years as the team enters another season with what is expected to be a horrific run defense.
“Absolutely,” Clsrk responded when host Mike Greenberg asked if he’s concerned that the Bengals are “wasting” Burrow’s peak years.
“If you watched that game (Monday) night and you think about, especially early on last season, we’ve watched people run for more miles against the Cincinnati Bengals than (ultra-marathon runner) David Goggins.”
Despite re-signing star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the Bengals have done little to improve their defense while being in a contract standoff with star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson.
Hendrickson, who tallied 17 1/2 sacks last season while no other Bengal had more than five, is holding out of training camp while looking for a new contract.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
