“Our defensive backs have been playing well all year,” Burrow said. “Obviously, DJ (Turner), in my opinion, has been one of the best corners in the league this year. And Dax (Hill) is really coming into his own. I think JD (Jalen Davis), in the slot, has really made some big plays for us the last couple of weeks since he’s been in there. Can’t remember exactly what the first game that he was in, but all he’s done is made plays. And those guys are always around the ball, making it difficult and making tackles when the guys do catch it. I thought they’d been lights out for the last eight to 10 weeks.”
On mobility, Burrow said this: “Certainly not as mobile as I have been in the past, but mobile enough to make a couple plays every game.“
The strongest case for Bengals player to make the Pro Bowl with Chase belonged to Turner simply because he’s been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL this season. He remains the league-leader in passes defensed (17), has hauled in two interceptions, and only 49.1% of passes targeted his way have been completed. He also boasts a Pro Football Focus coverage grade of 77.1.
“A major problem, a lot of it on the Ravens, is that there are team rules and then there are rules for Jackson. That’s why Baltimore practices in the heat of the afternoon instead of in the morning. Once the Ravens become critical of Jackson, he becomes more withdrawn. It’s a shame because Jackson isn’t a mean-spirited person, just an overgrown kid in an adult’s body.”
