Power Rankings #3 Bengals

[CrashDavisSports]

A glowing review....

How difficult it must be to gameplan for these Cincinnati Bengals right now. You never know who's going to get the football or be the focal point of the offense. On Sunday, Giovani Bernard got more touches out of the backfield than Jeremy Hill, but the latter scored three touchdowns. A week after A.J. Green posted 227 yards, he was outgained by Mohamed Sanu (84 yards on four catches), who had posted all of 77 yards combined through the three prior weeks of play. Meanwhile, the run-pass ratio was fantastic, with coordinator Hue Jackson overseeing 26 run plays versus 24 passes. You couldn't draw it up any better.

I also watched Inside the NFL last night on HBO and Boomer is glued to Dalton's nuts right now. I really liked watching Andy mike'd up against KC this last week. He seems like a fun guy to hang with as a teammate. I also liked the play where the bad snap occured, and he bobbled the ball on the ground picked it up and threw it to Green. He didn't start celebrating, he ran down the field and told Bodine to get those snaps up. He was on the sidelines rallying the troops, showed some real passion and fire, sounded in complete control of the offense and positioning. He knew who was blitzing, made Bernard change sides, told him which number to pick up on the blitz and by doing so was able to complete a long pass because Bernard got his guy and it was the exact guy coming. Changed the play, repositioned Benard to pick up the exact blitzer and found the hole in the secondary based on alignment of defense.

I hope he keeps it up, but we will see when the primetime schedule comes upon us. It also gave me a little bit of hope after seeing Seattle struggle against Detroit in Seattle on Monday night. Maybe karma is on our side after Seattle got a win they shouldn't have on a short work week in our house.

#3 Bengals against #8 Seahawks at "The Paul" as June would say!

I am going to go out on a limb here, even though the likelihood of us pushing the wins to 5 straight to start the season is slim....

Seahawks 17
Bengals 23

Their kick returner is dangerous. Nugent better man up and start getting some touchbacks.

I would rather him kick it a bit short, but as high as he possible can to give coverage a chance to surround him. Or touch backs work even better if Nuge can swing it.

On punts, I would just try to kick the ball out of bounds every time as far up the field as you can, if not out of bounds, at least so far to that side he is very limited on running lanes.

Here is the Sound FX on the Bengals site that I saw on Inside the NFL the other night:

'Sound FX': Andy Dalton 

He just seems like a different quarterback both in execution but also leadership. I hope he keeps it up.
