Bengals1181 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 [size=4][b][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It was a painful loss for the Washington Redskins on Sunday at St. Louis as defensive end Adam Carriker suffered what is likely a serious knee injury and outside linebacker Brian Orakpo has a familiar pectoral injury.[/font][/color][/b] [color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Carriker will have an MRI on his right knee but he is expected to require surgery, according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post. He was injured on the second defensive possession of the game. Orakpo was hurt later in the first quarter as he sacked Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, forcing a fumble.[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Orakpo came up holding his left arm and was in pain on the sideline. He left the Edward Jones Dome with his arm wrapped up and will go see Dr. James Andrews for an evaluation.[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“[url="http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/brian-orakpo-adam-carriker-injured-as-redskins-defense-gives-up-31-points/2012/09/16/f2069a8e-0068-11e2-9367-4e1bafb958db_story.html"]It just ripped on me, man[/url],” Orakpo said, according to Jones. “Same injury as before.

akiliMVP Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Damn that's their 2 best defensive players. Think this game will be much like the Browns game. Back and forth scoring. Hopefully we get Dunlap, Allen and Scott back this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] yea, arguably their 2 best defenders on what was probably already the worst defense the Bengals will have played thus far. Big boost for the offense, now if the defense can just take a step forward they can get out with a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Skins Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I don't deny putting pressure on RG3 but he had some pretty good runs yesterday. I missed week 1 (was at the Nationals game) so I can't say one way or the other how RG3 looked then other than the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 We really should beat the redskins, i marked this as a W at the seasons beginning, with these 2 guys out, there is no excuse to lose. Dunlap and Johnson should have a great game. if we can just have Atkins stay at home and make sure RG3 doesn't escape the pocket he should be getting sack after sack. farce him inside let him think he can run and boom atkins.

|ArmyBengal| Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 What I've heard about RGIII though is he is more Big Ben than M. Vick in the pocket. By that I mean he'd rather use his atheletism to elude a sack and get a throw off. Meaning that the Bengals D has to maintain coverage. Not something anyone on this board feels good about. Wash OL is suspect, but if the Bengals break contain they'll get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Losing those DL will hurt the Skins, no doubt. But they've still got some good defenders there. Inside, Bowen and Cofield are hard to move, and Kerrigan might be their best defender. If the OL can hold up vs. the pass rush, I think they can make some hay against their secondary - DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, Madieu Williams and Brandon Merriweather start for them. On offense, Garcon is very solid, and Fred Davis is a pretty good TE. Assuming Dunlap comes back, he has a favorable matchup, but LT Trent Williams is one of the best, and MJ will have his hands full there. Goes without saying, but they'll have to contain RG, who looks great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing, the Rams made the mistake of upsetting London Fletcher (got shoved down to the ground well after a play was done). A few plays later, he picks off Sam Bradford in the end zone.

mongo Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Gonna be a tough game. I want to watch the Cleveland game over again, but my overall impression at the game was that I preferred the Bengals 4-3 package better than the nickel they were playing. I thought having Burfict and Lawson out there was better than Vinny Rey and the extra corner (Newman? Allen? can't remember). I thought overall, the linebackers did a much better job covering on pass plays than the nickel guys played against the run... It was fun watching Burfict amped up on the sideline. A play would end, and he'd start inching his way onto the field while staring at the coaches. Then, he'd either get the okay and run out to the huddle, or be humorously ticked and stomp back to the sideline (It was like watching a guy try to steal second).

EnglishBengal Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 The key for us to win is hope the front 7 steps up in all phases. Otherwise, even if we pressure RG3 in the pocket, he may find an open field in front of him, just like Rogers did vs us during preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungletiger Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 This is only going to be a tough game because our D for whatever reason can't seem to contain running QB's.
