Spor_tees Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Found a pretty cool stat on ESPN:The Bengals should be primed to exploit this weakness in Roethlisberger’s game. Cincinnati has 20 sacks this season, nearly three times as many as they had through eight games last year. Fourteen of those 20 sacks have come when rushing four or fewer players, tied for sixth-most in the league. I'm not really sure how to take this. On one hand it's awesome that the Bengals are able to get an aggressive pass rush without blitzing, but why is the blitzing so poor? Poor design? Poor execution? Well let's all hope that Roethlisburger, the third most sacked active QB, spends plenty of time on his back this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 2nd half he didnt blitz as much, and they only allowed them about 100 yards and no points. I think Zim dosnt have to blitz everydown, let the front 4 got after it, or just send an extra guy. For that i would love to see Moch active and in on passing downs. Moch should be blitzing with that blazing speed he has, and would love to see that this week, but im sure he wont play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Supposed to be really windy for the game. Out of the south, 20 - 30 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest worry is the Steelers deep passing game, and heavy winds should disrupt that. We also have the better kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
