Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt has been unapologetically candid in his assessments of opponents this season. Rather than resorting to clichés, Taylor-Britt has offered his personal opinions openly. Last week, he expressed his underwhelmed thoughts on Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy, describing the rookie as someone who can "run straight." Surprisingly, in the subsequent game against Kansas City, Taylor-Britt managed to make an outstanding one-handed interception in coverage against Worthy.

Looking ahead to the Bengals' upcoming game against the Washington Commanders, Taylor-Britt shared his observations on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The cornerback remarked that Daniels appears composed on the field, noting that the Commanders have kept their offensive strategy rather simple for the rookie. Taylor-Britt pointed out that Daniels has predominantly thrown short and intermediate passes, with a significant percentage of his attempts being behind the line of scrimmage. In fact, Daniels has yet to complete a deep pass attempt in his two games as a starter.

Coach Dan Quinn has acknowledged the need for Daniels to extend pass plays before resorting to running. While Daniels has showcased his agility and quick decision-making abilities, there is room for growth in expanding his passing repertoire to include more intermediate and deep throws. Despite Taylor-Britt's critical assessment of the Commanders' offensive approach, it appears he is not questioning Daniels' potential as a talented quarterback. Instead, Taylor-Britt's candid comments stand out in a league where players often stick to scripted and generic responses. It seems that Taylor-Britt's willingness to provide honest insights could potentially set him up for a future career in sports analysis post-football.
