B.A.B. Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 What should our main focus be this game? If our DBs are disciplined I don't see Fitz getting away with too much. Ced really needs to hold down that right side. Boyd could be huge if he steps up. AJ can probably put up some numbers but Revis will have help over the top. If they watch film they saw how dangerous Andy is when AJ gets one on one. Good week 1 test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKrumrieFan Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Tackle Forte on screens/dump offs. That will be the biggest key on the defense. Don't put ourselves in 3rd and long on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Run the ball effectively. Take advantage of any time Revis is not on Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pretty much this for me. Really need a lot of production from Hill and Gio, will make Dalton's life a lot easier. Also need to get after Fitzpatrick, after their standoff offseason he could feel the pressure if he starts slow. I think Dunlap has a shot of getting a few QB hits in on their shaky RT situation.

UncleEarl Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is not a game where the Bengals should need to do anything special. If they execute they should win. The Jets are the team that needs matchup help. Execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKrumrieFan Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 The biggest concern outside of our LBs tackling Forte on passes is who is going to cover Decker in the slot. He dominates in the slot and we don't have Leon anymore and it isn't known if Dennard will play or not. That is the one area that the Jets would have a decent advantage matchup wise. I also expect the Jets blitzes to be often and strong. That means Boyd/Gio need to be ready for some quick passes/dump offs and create something after it.

PatternMaster Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 On offense the oline is going to have to get physical against the Jets front 7, get Hill going early between the tackles and make the safeties come into the box which will allow for better matchups in the passing game. With Eifert out we don't have one our best offensive weapons so the running game is going to have to pick up the slack. I liked what I saw from the oline and Hill this preseason, they were opening up holes and he was hitting them with power and decisiveness. If Hill can establish a presence early we will control the tempo and hopefully win the game. The Jets OLB are big question marks, getting Hill to edges so he can go up against a 31 year Revis and undersized Buster Skrine is ideal. Cedric is going to have his hands full, hopefully he is up for the challenge. On defense the key has to be to put pressure on Fitz, the Jets oline is shaky at RT and Dunlap should have a good day. Also tackling well will be key, especially without Burfict in the lineup. Forte is great at catching the ball in the flat, making guys miss and getting YAC. Brandon Marshall is a dominant WR that can also be a problem to bring down. I want to see how well Shawn Williams does in his first season as a full time starter. Emotions will be high in Jersey on the 15th anniversary of 9/11, the crowd will be loud and ready to go from the opening start. If the Bengals can score early and keep the crowd quiet that should help, it should be a close game. Bengals 24 Jets 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAPradio Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 The key to this game is going to be turnovers. I think both teams are about even from a talent perspective. We also need to keep the pressure out of Andy's face and make sure the RBs first move isn't always in the backfield as it was too much last year.

T-Dub Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 As others have said, ground game. Interested in seeing our new RT perform. On defense I'm waiting to see how many penalty flags get thrown for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBuck Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm on the running the ball effectively tip too. I don't think the jets have much for us if the running game is working. I also don't see the jets being much of a threat on offense against our D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the talent is close but I can see the Bengals playing down to the Jets instead of taking care of business. Especially with the Jets hyped for 9/11 at home on a big anniversary.

thezerawkid Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Am I the only one not buying the 9/11 anniversary hype and how that could really cause problems for us in the game? It was an unspeakable tragedy to be sure, but I just don't see it having such a profound effect on Jets' fans coming to game. I don't think it's gonna make this road game any tougher than it already shapes up to be. I just think it's more lame, hyperbolic narrative from a shitty, shitty institution of sports journalists.

The health of Dennard is a major factor. Would be huge if he can come back and play at a high level in the slot. If Dennard is out, we really need Shaw to step up.

TimKrumrieFan Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Emotions matter and how players use those emotions positive or negatively matter. Plus I would never put it out of this multi billion dollar company to want the Jets to win on a major day/spectacle/event and see the tides shifted just a little bit to where we are playing an uphill battle.

LostInDaJungle Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 For me, the biggest question is who's going to step up at WR besides Green? If the Jets are allowed to stack 8 in the box, we're going to have a rough day. The pass needs to set up the ground pound. If I'm the Jets, I'm daring LaFell or Boyd to come out and make me cover them. Bracket Green, and then bring the other safety into the box. Jets pass rush vs Bengals O-Line - Andy Dalton plays best when he's kept clean as do most QB's. Oogie-Boogie needs to validate his draft position, and Bodine needs to have a decent game. On defense, we need to keep Fitz in the pocket. He will run with the ball. It's time to see if those cover LB's we got can actually cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably his biggest improvement overall IMO. When the play or protection broke down he seemed far more comfortable buying time and keeping his eyes down field to make the play. He also moved better within the pocket to help his blockers and didn't needlessly abandon it as often as he used to. Although I never thought he was bad at handling pressure. It's the Achilis heel of most young QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
