Neither Devontae Harris nor Darius Phillips had much of an impact as rookies (Harris was on I.R.), but the latter could be a surprising player for the team this year. When Phillips was selected by the Bengals lat year, it was a trademark pick for then-defensive coordinator, Teryl Austin. He had wanted turnovers and big plays from his defenders Alex Redmond Jersey , and Phillips’ 12 interceptions and 14 total collegiate touchdowns had everyone intrigued. Now, with Austin out of the picture, Phillips has to prove himself to a new regime. He may have to do so in a creative way, but he could experience a meteoric rise as a valued contributor. Why he could break out in 2019With Alex Erickson potentially getting a bigger role on offense, Phillips might be relied upon for return duties. It’s an exciting prospect, given Phillips’ six returns for touchdowns (five on kickoffs and one on punts) at Western Michigan. In a new offensive system, the unit could use help from defense and special teams by receiving short fields with which to work. These come in the form of turnovers and big special teams returns—two areas where Phillips excelled in college. And even though the cornerback group looks crowded in the first four depth chart spots, new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo reportedly wants to trot out a number of defensive backs in formations. In this vein, Phillips could contribute with potential interceptions in this pass-happy league. And Bobby Hart Jersey , for good measure, Phillips could be a guy special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons relies on as a gunner. While it’s an unheralded facet to a team, it’s another area in which a club in transition could benefit in the form of close wins (AKA doing “the little things”). What he needs to prove this yearAs mentioned above, Phillips’ main path to making the roster and contributing will be on special teams. While Erickson might still be a primary return man, Phillips could be in the rotation, much like how the team occasionally swapped out Brandon Tate for Adam Jones. Unfortunately, as it goes with younger players with low draft designations, especially ones from a previous coaching regime, preseason snaps come at a premium. Phillips will need to wow the coaches nearly every time he touches the ball. To piggyback on that sentiment Deshaun Davis Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , Phillips will also need to make plays on defense. He received a little bit of work on defense as injury attrition hit the team last year, but with such a crowded cornerback group, including the offseason veteran acquisitions of Darqueze Dennard and B.W. Webb, it’s an uphill climb for Phillips to make his mark. Still, if he flashes that big play potential that was so prevalent in college, he’ll quickly become a fan favorite and an unsung hero to a potential playoff berth.

The Bengals will not extend quarterback Andy Dalton‘s contract before the 2019 season, owner Mike Brown said, via Fletcher Page of the .The team wants to see what Dalton does in new coach Zac Taylor’s offense.“I think it’s a good year for him to show like he can, like we think he will,” Brown said. “After he re-establishes himself, we would want to get together with him and see if we can extend it.“I think Andy is a good player Color Rush Deshaun Davis Jersey , and that he will rebound off last year. He was hurt. We lost so many other pieces; it fell apart. But if he’s healthy and we stay healthy enough, I have confidence in him.” Dalton, 31, signed a six-year, $96 million contract extension before the 2014 season. It runs through 2020.
