Preseason Game 3 - Bengals vs. Bills

[BengalszoneBilly]

Five sacks already. Impressive!

[BengalszoneBilly]

Field goal. 20-0 Bengals. This looks like a scrimmage.

[Stripes]

It'd be so refreshing to see this kind of defensive slaughter in a game that matters.

The run game is terrible, the only way I feel the bengals can be something is with a strong defense and run game. Dalton trying to pass 40 sometimes is not going to cut it at all. Need that run game!

One huge bright spot is Billings is a beast, as is all of this pass rush!

Yeah I don't know how the running game improves from last year until they are able to upgrade the talent on the 0-line.  Gio will probably be more effective behind that line.  Mixon just looks like Jeremy Hill back there, needs space to be effective going downhill, but has to wait and cut behind the LOS to get anywhere.

It only just occurred to me that one of the Bills offensive linemen who is getting roasted is none other than our boy Bodine.

Haha

Their 0-line is hot garbage.

It fits.

Uh, the Bengals' RB's had 10 carries for 10 yards in the first half...

That can't make this new o-line coach happy. The big thing they needed to fix this offseason, and so far it has yet to show up. Not good.

Bodine is in competition with some dude for the starting center spot.  What a horror show.  Loving this pass rush and our passing game.  

 

The right side side of our line can’t run block at all, needs work.

Any word on Glenn?

[BengalszoneBilly]

TD Buffalo. Running defense is lacking.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Carter wide open and drops one my grandmother could have caught!

He's going to have nightmares about that if he can't stick on a roster somewhere.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Driskel in. I feel better.

[BengalszoneBilly]

This kicker Brown looks solid. 

[BengalszoneBilly]

Good blitz!! Bengals ball and game over.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Bengals win again. Not sure how much stock to put in to this roll.

Just a "shoulder injury" - no word from Bengals' yet (despite the fact their Twitter reported every other injury except Glenn's)

[ArmyBengal]

Just another game where Geno shows why he’s my favorite player. Quietly goes about his way while absolutely driving his o-line opponent straight back into the QB for a sack. Dude is an absolute animal !!!

Quote

Left tackle Cordy Glenn (shoulder) left in the third series, but he had a wide smile as he walked to the bus for the trip home.

Asked if he could play in the Sept. 9 opener in Indy, Glenn said, “Absolutely, no doubt about it.”

 

[Stripes]

It was definitely an overall positive tonight.

The running game has to improve though, on both sides of the ball.

I was thinking the same thing ;)

Our passing attack is frightening.  Imagine being a DC and you have to somehow account for AJ Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd, Tyler Eifert, and Joe Mixon.  Then you have to do it again.  And again.  For all the o-line failings, the triumvirate has succeeded in, once again, surrounding Andy with a formidable group of weapons.
