If they had to go with the 2nd best LB at 25 vs the top TE for instance,...they're taking the TE all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostInDaJungle Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The two places where the Bengals could get the most impact would be OLB and OL. They suck at protecting Joe Burrow and running consistently, and covering TE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me the crops of backers are more pasx rushers thsn cover guys.. Is this Ossai thats injured in that catagory? Hybred LB/DE players for versatility.. Btw..Happy New Year Lost.

LostInDaJungle Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The question will be if the Bengals can keep from turning over the ball. KC's defense is pretty rough, but in this 8 game win streak they've also had a 7 game streak of 2+ turnovers. They haven't produced much in the pass rush. CB's are dodgy, FS has been a weakness. Boyd and Chase should have big days. I don't mean to imply that it's "just luck", but most coaches will tell you that if you're +2 in the turnover department, you're going to win games. Turnovers can be "forced" when you make a mistake. Even the best defender can't make a turnover happen without you not making a mistake. So, they're avoidable. Their offense has been high powered, but we didn't punt against a much better defense last week. I expect a shootout, but Cincy brings much bigger guns. Second half of the year, Burrow has been pretty clean, and Mixon has never really been a concern in the turnover department. My game plan:: I want to start with hitting Mixon in the flats and Chase/Boyd on drag routes. TE's on short outs. Make them tackle in space. They haven't been good at it. Alternate with big shots when they play Cover 1, and attack the seams in the middle when they play wide. On defense, KC has to prove to me that they can run the ball against a 7 man zone. Contain Mahomes and make him beat you 5 on 7 in the passing game. Bell and Hilton should be in Kelce's back pocket 90% of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any dude can run a drag route. Tyler Boyd's play in the slot takes up that slack. We have 3 very talented WR's. I just think it's a second/third day priority. Really, can any of this truly be addressed via the draft? Will Jackson Carman make a leap next year? We really don't know. Maybe we just need to ride or die with 5 guys to gain some cohesion. Just pointing out that what puts more point on the board is out 30th ranked O-Line, and letting TE's have big days. Happy New Year to you as well my old friend. May the sands that have run from the hourglass of our lives at least grant us the ability to see everything more clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On D our weakness is over the middle against the TEs. I'd take a LB like Queen at 28 every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
