It's been brutal for the kid, but he won't survive the season with shots like this one.

Damn man.

Cincy gotta fix this O line, shuffle cap space, make a trade and get this kid some help inside the trenches. I do not want to see a promising young player lost for the season on head hunting shots like this.

They probably should’ve drafted OL at 33 instead of another WR.

Honestly, I always thought his toughness was his best trait. *shrugs*

What made that 'roughing the passer?' He hit him so hard that his head and neck MOVED but he didn't hit him in the head and neck area.

Toughness doesn't stop broken bones and torn ligaments.

Agree....brutal hit but not a penalty. Joe will learn to keep himself out of harms way a little better in the future. Starting with that hit I would guess.

That’s a hard, hard shot. Truthfully, he was hit in the shoulder and it caused his neck to jerk. Very scary, though. The Bengals better do something to protect that guy.

I love Burrow, but I was wondering the same thing. He didn't hit Burrow's helmet. It seemed clean to me. That was a "Welcome to the NFL Rookie," shot. Brutal hit

Archie Manning should've talked to him about his previous experiences...

I actually think that the future is quiet brilliant for Joe and the bengals once that they fix the offensive line. I am certain they will invest heavily during the offseason, the same way the browns did this season.

This is true but I wouldn't be too worried about it, as he will probably learn to "feel" these things out. He got punished a lot extending plays in college.
