"Right Up Yours Tennessee, Fuck You!" - Bengals Center Ted Karras Was ON ONE After Cincinnati's Triumph Over The Titans

LOOK AT THIS MAN GO. I don’t think it even took any direct provocation to get Teddy Karras fired the hell up. He was locked and loaded to dunk on sulking Titans fans once they were defeated AGAIN in their own house by the Bengals in a big-time showdown.

I can’t say enough how excellent of a pickup Karras was in free agency during the off-season. How can you not love this man, even if you aren’t a direct Bengals supporter? Super smart, cerebral, technically sound yet a nasty competitor who isn’t afraid to mix it up with opposing fans.

The Titans were proven to be a fraud of a No. 1 seed in the postseason when the Bengals strutted into Nashville and knocked them off. Things were largely the same but different this time around in the sense that Cincinnati was without Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon, but armed with a far superior o-line that didn’t let Joe Burrow get sacked nine freaking times. 

Karras is a huge reason why the Bengals’ clear weak unit from 2021 has jelled so well and made such huge strides amid a 7-2 hot streak. Giving Joey B even a split-second more time to throw is bad news for any defense, much less if you can provide competent run blocking to keep the offense balanced.

All the shit-talking I heard Tennessee fans do and all the hype about REVENGE. Hahaha. What nonsense all that was. Once again, when the chips were down, Joe Brr and Lou Anarumo’s second-half defense delivered. It all starts up front. Burrow was sacked only once. I was told Teddy Karras was a MID center, as if that’d be bad compared to what came before him. The numbers say otherwise to say the least!!

Karras’ objectively elite data points combine with intangibles to die for, and provide the Bengals with a tone-setting, glass-eating locker room leader and someone Burrow can truly trust in the trenches. 

On behalf of the Who Dey hive, we love you, Teddy Karras.
