Just curious, what do you guys expect Week 1

[nebearsfan70]

Marshall will play.

If the Bears can block Atkins it's a wrap, they win easy. They dont get that done they score only 10 point and that wont be enough, they need to score at least 20 to beat the Bengals

I don't agree with that. Even if they block him, the fact that they have to double team him leaves our ends 1-on-1 and they can cause havoc. Atkins, even if blocked opens everything up for everyone else.

thats true, I shoulve said if they can get to Cutler it's gonna be ugly, if not it's gonna be a Chicago party.

Read the thread, I think both D's will dominate this game and it will not be a high scoring affair. Your teams D is very good and talented, but so is our D. Think most of us Bear fans will be watching the R side of our O line with much anxiety to see if Long and Mills play up to the pre season ability v. quality #1 DT & DE. Our division is full of them, between Detroit and GB. This will be a good test for us.

I think the only advantage we have is Cinny not being able to scout out the new Bear Offense, they can only guess. Your advantage, we may be starting a rookie MLB, and in the cover 2, if he doesn't get back into that deep middle... ouch.

Should be fun, best of luck.

No worries. A guy could be wide open down the deep middle and its still only a small percentage shot that Dalton hits him.

Or even sees him, for that matter.....

I like both of Cincy's TEs. And TEs have given us headaches in the past. If Gruden uses them could be a long day for Bostic & us.

Just curious Bengal fans. Who's starting opposite AJ @ WR ? Sanu ?
And I can't believe Sanzanbacher (spelling?) made your 53. You will be disappointed in his play.

 

[bengaldoug]

Sanu is listed on the depth chart, but Jones will play alot there as well, and when they go three wides, Sanu will usually move into the slot. Sanzenbacher had a great camp, and probably made the team because of his return ability.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Sanu is better in goal line situations, he is like a skinny Tim Tebow.

Another Bears fan That shares that concern(for at least the early part of season). Despite #54s diminished physical skills, he knew where to position himself and remained a force in pass coverage until his last snap. Bostic, like a lot of rook LBers , he struggles in pass coverage. AFAIK, hes the starter this Sunday.
I like others, see a lower scoring affair. Should be a good one.

Sanz looked great in our 2 previous preseasons also. He actually made few plays that counted. But #1 DBs beat the heck out of him. Sometimes he looks like a rag doll running a route. I liked him also his first year here. But then we got a new GM , and some real WRs.
Just sayin, don't get your hopes up too far for this guy.

He's something like our fifth or sixth receiver, and when Hawkins comes off IR-return he probably will be cut, anyway, so I am expecting nothing but hopefully some contributions on special teams in the meantime, if he even suits up.
