Bengals vs Broncos

[walzav29]

I will get a little antsy if the Bengals passing game doesn't look sharp tonight. I will start blaming Brat. Let's hope all goes well.

[derekshank]

I'm sure Brat is very concerned that you'll start blaming him.

We all want to see improvement... especially in areas they were weak last year. But saying "They better look sharp" in the first preseason game isn't very important.

If the first team offense hasn't scored a TD by the time they head to the bench in the 3rd pre-season game we can probably start being concerned that they haven't improved. But some early rust in the first couple of pre-season games doesn't get me worked up.

Things I'll be looking for tonite:

Production by the first team offense especially the pass offense

Jermaine Gresham

Will Maualuga play in the middle?

The continued development of Adam Jones

Control of the line of scrimmage on defense vs. Denver's first team offense

Tebow's haircut

Tebow's tears

[Stripes]

I want to see Michael Johnson demolish Tim Tebow at least once. Well rather, I want to hear about it because I won't be "seeing" anything.

[TJJackson]

I will be watching in particular

Geno

Dunlap

Cosby

Scott

Coffman

and of course MJ :-)

[HairOnFire]

The thing I look forward to most? How about no injuries to discuss after the game?

As for players, on offense....Jerome Simpson. Hopefully the QB play won't be so horrible that Simpson can't be properly evaluated.

On defense, Carlos Dunlap. I'll be looking for clues regarding the role the Bengals expect him to play this season.

[volcom69]

I would like to see the starting o-line gel better tonight and protect Palmer and open running lanes. If they dont play good to begin with i wonder if Marvin will keep them out there.

I really wanna see Dunlap tonight, with Geathers out he should get a ton of snaps, and i am hoping to see good pass rush with him.

Would like to see Gresham get some catches also.

Game on my friends. Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!?!

[kingwilly]

Lets see some sharpness. Get it going Carson!

[BengalszoneBilly]

And the stupid penalties continue... :frustrated:

[kingwilly]

Looked way too easy.

Stupid penalty on Tank.

Why is Dhani Jones covering Eddie Royal? Stupid.

[volcom69]

stupid penalties and no pass rush again

[kingwilly]

Solid block from Gresham, put the LB on his back.

Another catch that Coles could not have made. TO makes Carson better.

[kingwilly]

Chad makes Champ fall down with ease,

Gresham pops his cherry.

[kingwilly]

Benson still a monster.

Hold on Gresham, not called.

[BengalszoneBilly]

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Benson baby!!!!

[volcom69]

TO should have made that catch

[BengalszoneBilly]

Suddenly I miss Shayne.

[volcom69]

wow ugly kick.....yea fg still a problem

[Stripes]

Meh.

[kingwilly]

FFS. Missing from 44 Rayner?

Offense not quite solidified.

Gresham is a willing blocker, just needs more experience.

Carson has time to throw. Where is the upgraded playcalling? Where is Scott getting a screen? Unshot bullets, IMHO.

[kingwilly]

Joseph HAS to make that INT.

[volcom69]

how about some pass rush????

[kingwilly]

Pacman looks smooth. Jammed the ball out of the catch.

He is an upgrade over Morgan Trent.

[BengalszoneBilly]

About time the defense stopped Orton. This dude is at best a back up QB.
