The Bengals' plan for Clausen

From ESPN Insider:

Upon Jimmy Clausen being named starting QB for the Carolina Panthers as they get set to face the Cincinnati Bengals, we opined that Bengals CBs Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall would be licking their chops, waiting for errant passes to come their way Sunday.

As we're now closer to kickoff, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com has added some additional analysis of how the Bengals might welcome Clausen to the league. "If the Bengals don't blitz the living daylights out of Clausen," Hobson writes, "they'll at least give him different looks and try to bait him into some throws."

To counteract this, the Panthers may use additional blockers and roll Clausen out in order to give him a little more leeway. It's also very likely that the Panthers will rely heavily on the ground game to keep Clausen out of third-and-long situations, where he could try and force matters.

- Tim Kavanagh

I hope they leave the WRs in single coverage, we roll out running backs, and Clausen checks down a lot if they want to blitz all day.

I read an article about how Mike Zimmer (the bengals defensive coordinator) had prepped his defense with complex packages agaisnt the Patriots.

This strategy was a failure in his mind and the stat book.

The following week against Baltimore they dumbed down their coverages for Ravens so the players could just rely on speed and not think too much.

That being said I see its more likely they try and blitz the piss outta Jimmy

while doubling up on smith. If they go that route then Gettis,Lafell,Rosario,and King should have the ball thrown their way quite a bit...lets hope they have their sticky gloves on today

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
