TJJackson Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 The Battle of Chase versus one of the other guys lots of people wanted us to draft instead of Chase Pitts, Sewell and Slater have all done quite well since that draft day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Atlanta has been running the ball. They’re like a poor man’s Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Well they put it on the 49er’s today for sure. Should be an interesting game but I’m not in a mood to watch them flounder about all first half. Happy for the win today but those are some irritating wins. Sounds dumb I know… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I look at stuff like Reader's health and the condition of COBs gutters and driveway as the really and truly important stuff here, personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hate to say it, but Wilson going down for any point in time is going to be problematic for this defense. I have been yelling about LB’s for years. Depth is lacking in my opinion, but I guess we will see. I would be happy to know this isn’t the concern I think it is.

Stripes Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Losing Wilson is definitely a problem for a team already struggling to stop the run. I do believe in Pratt, ADG, Johnston, and Bailey enough though that I tend to focus my worries more on the interior defensive line. The rotation was already thin before Tupou got hurt. They really need to bring in a body alongside Tufele (and Tupou if he can go), because Shelvin isn't going to cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Really need to know more about Tupous health Only true NT on the active roster There are two on the PS, Shelvin is one of them Gimme the other guy this time please.

ArmyBengal Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 All I can say is that I hope it's going to be ok at both the interior of the d-line and linebacker positions with these injuries. They have either gone through their depth or never had any to start with. Can't forget that Joe Bachie is still out after his ACL tear in December. So Clay Johnston is it. If you go to the practice squad, you have two UDFA guys in Keandre Jones and Tegray Scales. Not sure I want to go to war with those guys, but if that's what we have, that's what we have. Then there's the d-line. As mentioned, Shelvin is still there, but we know how that story ends already. Outside of him, there's the USFL standout (not sure that means much) Domenique Davis. I don't think he's a nose tackle however, but after that, the cupboard is bare. Anyone on the other teams' practice squads that interest you?? https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-practice-squad-tracker-team-by-team-roster-signings-ahead-of-the-2022-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I put it in the other thread, but Burrow's start through 6 games is slightly better than last year. The appendix rupture screwed up the Steelers game for him and prob a few afterwards, but he's already on pace to match/exceed last year.

AMPHAR Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Bengals have cut down on the negative plays. I would still like to get through a game without giving up a sack. Atlanta's defense gives up yards and doesn't pressure the QB. I hope this is a game the Bengals can get out early on offense and put pressure on the Atlanta Offensive to do things they aren't great at.

TJJackson Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I continue to worry over the snapcounts for the DLineman The starters should get getting no more than about 70% to keep them fresh but injuries aside they are getting over 90% of the snaps https://www.cincyjungle.com/2022/10/17/23408777/bengals-saints-nfl-week-6-snap-counts-logan-wilson-injury-josh-tupou-injury Ossai in particular should be eating up a lot of DE snaps but is getting relatively few snaps and those that he is getting tend to be inside, where he is not nearly as good I figure that they will be bringing up 326lb NT Domenique Davis from the PS this week. Please, no more Shelvin the Blimp. Zach Carter needs to pick up 5-10 15-20 pounds of pure muscle in the offseason.....he gets pushed around too much at 290 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Matt Ryan and replacing him with Mariota didn't help him I don't think, but while his yardage is down, his YPC is only a couple yards less. He's been targeted 13 times this season with 169 yards and a TD. Last year through 6 games with Ryan he was targeted 23 times for 365 yards and no TD's. I honestly didn't realize Pitts only had a single TD last season. His yardage was through the roof, topping 1000 for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
