ArmyBengal Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I'm trying to convince the wife that since my son has yet to see Tom Brady play, that means that him and I should make the trip to Tampa Bay to catch the game. I mean, who am I to deprive such an event from a young man? It only seems like the right thing to do. Am I wrong ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get tickets, but the cheapest ones I could find were $180 before all the fees and crap. So keep that in mind if you want to go.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 So maybe Ossai, "maybe" Higgins. Boyd's injury was gruesome and required immediate surgery (bone showing). No way he's coming back any time real soon, will likely be a bit hindered all year when he does I'm guessing. Sucks. But hopefully I'm wrong there. Who knows on Hurst, in same boat, "week to week."

UK Bengal Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Not really for this thread but it will prob get lost in the Browns thread. I know reading through the Browns game thread most people are knocking Mixon when he is getting 3 yards or less or "this offence is sucking right now" etc.. I suggest those people learn a bit more about what is going on and what is happening for a reason. Watch this from CBT and Joe Goodberry the first 10 mins explain how they were setting up the browns for the flea flicker, there is a reason for everything so think before your emotions hit the keyboard :D I expect more of the same against the buccaneers.

ArmyBengal Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I'm not sure I agree with the correlation there. I understand running the ball to set up the flea flicker. That makes sense. However, you don't intentionally block poorly and pick up 2-3 yards on purpose to make that play happen. That's what I was complaining about and I think that was the concern with Mixon coming back, in that he has done that quite often this year. I think it goes without saying that I love Mixon, but many have commented about him running right up the middle and only getting 2-3 yards. To Goodberry's point, the o-line didn't have a particularly stellar game against the Browns, so I'm not sure I can get behind that argument. Who knows ?? God knows I've been wrong many times before. Hell, look at me complaining about the linebackers when everyone told me I was crazy. Looks like I was crazy !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I don't know they did but the DB was all out trying to get involved in the run game. Perfectly timed and executed. Steelers and Bettis used to have perfect timing against the Bengals defense for some kinda gadget. When Hurst comes back they should explore the ole TE throw back screen either off a fake or have a RB throw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I love Mixon, I did not like them reinserting him into the starting role. A lot of football is momentum. This offense was on a roll, and Perine was a huge part of it. You could just see the spirit on this team rise when Perine started making hard runs, getting extra yards. That td Perine had where it was clogged in the middle and he popped out to the right and got around the end and into the end zone. That td is a great example of why, right now, this offense is better with Perine on the field. Mixon can do a lot, hard running and power running. He can win a game by salting it away with hard, clock eating, runs in the 4th quarter. It’s a fine line to walk. Try to stay with the hot hand, and try not to upset the chemistry of the offense by alienating a veteran leader in Mixon. Nothing’s easy.

I mean, “using the run to set up the pass” is not exactly a new concept that was just invented by the Bengals last weekend. Mixon’s overall underwhelming performance this year is a separate issue. Now, he *has* been better lately as the oline has gelled and run-blocking has improved. So I suppose we will see how it goes. One thing I will say: that Perine TD, where he runs into a bunch of guys, then just suddenly pops out the back of the scrum again and runs around everyone for the score was vintage Corey Dillon. And no, I’m not saying Perine = Dillon, just that Corey used to do that on the regular and it Perine pulling it off brought a big smile to my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yo. Having 2 good backs is NOT a problem. I am old, but I don't remember being upset in 1988 that they had Brooks/Woods/Wilson to slam at people. Mixon/Perine is a good combo. I am happy with whatever order they play them. There is no real drop-off from one to the other. Full win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no real drop-off from one to the other. Full win. I’d argue we have more than two. But regardless, RB isn’t an issue on the field now and I very much doubt it will be, for the rest of this season at least. Whether it makes sense to continue paying Mixon $10 million a year (with an even high cap hit) through 2024 is something they will have to take a hard look at after the season.

HoosierCat Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Per Morrison, Hilton at practice but not dressed. He had a knee injury during the Browns game but apparently gutted it out. Backup Jalen Davis also present but not practicing, arm in a sling.

AMPHAR Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Mixon has been apart of the solution to the "tampa 2" problem. Cap growth is coming and the Bengals will be multi millions under. I don't see an issue with Mixon's cap hits through 2024. Mixon has already matched his receiving totals from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hobs (yesterday): INJURY UPDATE: Burrow had a full practice before he showed up on the injury report (throwing elbow). Everybody else sounds day-to-to-day, like wide receivers Tyler Boyd (finger) and Tee Higgins (hamstring) after they went limited. Edge Joseph Ossai (shoulder) and slot receiver Trent Taylor (hamstring) also went limited while edge Trey Hendrickson (wrist) cornerbacks Mike Hilton (ankle) and Jalen Davis (thumb) and tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) didn't work.

Everyone is banged up. I’m betting Hendrickson, Hurst, Hilton and Davis are all out come Sunday. Have to see what they do with Boyd and Ossai, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they sat, too. No idea where Taylor is at. I think Higgins will be back as long as the hammy doesn’t act up pregame again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I feel okay about the injury situation. There's a big difference between having an army of dinged up players on the field in December and having key players lost on IR. Weather it, keep grinding out games, and push for that home playoff game where players can fully rest without any traveling. Win out and the Bengals are guaranteed the 2-seed at the very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Ossai went full today so that’s encouraging. Hendrickson out again so sounds like he’s a scratch. Boyd wants to play but Hobs confirmed the bone-broke-the-skin story so that’s kind of hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
