We'll win on Sunday, and not because of Clausen

He'll help, of course, but I believe that this Sunday we start getting to the QB on defense. It almost happened against the Bucs, but Freeman is a lot younger and more mobile than Palmer.

No one's talking about that side of the ball, and it makes no sense to me. Benson's averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Palmer isn't setting the world on fire and when he gets hit he gets happy feet. This is going to be a defensive struggle, and we have the running game to bring it home in the fourth.

It's all on the D, I think they know it, I think they're ready, and I think they win it for us.

Cincy Defense is pretty good. Clausen will have to be on his toes and get the ball out quickly. I still think our secondary needs some fixing. Goodson doesnt impress me and Marshall is blah. You can tell the difference without Harris. Fix the secondary and we might have a chance.

Clausen I like how he scans the field I just hope his delivery is quick and smart.

it's possible. the bengals passing game isn't really clicking like it should with 2 big time WRs there pus a slot stud like shipley is capable of being. their run game is pretty bad as well. they're only getting just over 3 yards per carry. they've also only had one more TD than us.

palmer has only been sacked once and considering who they have played, thats not too bad at all. it could be taht they've just played some really tough defenses and ours is the break that they have been waiting for.

we should have had a sack or two against the bucs but freeman is pretty quick himself and he isn't a tiny guy at all. he'd be pretty hard to bring down if you were able to catch him.

i'm hoping that the speed of our guys gives palmer a bad day and that beason really does knock the crap out of 85. hopefully the defense will step it up in a way that they've been unable to do so far.

Week 1 vs Pats

38-24 loss

Team Leaders

Passing:Carson Palmer 345

Rushing:Cedric Benson 43

Receiving:Chad Ochocinco 159

also only 5 yards in penalties in this game

week 2 vs. Ravens

15-10 Win

Team Leaders

Passing:Carson Palmer 167

Rushing:Cedric Benson 78

Receiving:Terrell Owens 57

56 yards in penalties this game

strange huh?

Biggest differnce without watching either game is the turnover battle.

In their away loss to the pats they had 2 turnovers and the pats had 0

In their Home win their d created 4 turnovers and the offense gave up 0

It only makes sense for the Bengals to stack the line and attempt to shut down our run game early.

On offense, since their run game sucks, It makes since for them to challenge us to a shootout with their stud recievers against our young secondary. Were gonna have to be quite creative on d, since baltimore and new england only mustered one sack against them combined

Damn squirel your right about our secondary,<from other thread; our secondary is weak > but we really need a pass rush to help return to what we are use to. I only say that because your small mistake made me think you can replace goodson with munnerlyn, godfrey or gamble right now thats not a good look. But will see if we actually tackle CP get a little momentum maybe get a lead and then get at em.

      Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities. Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
