Pseason game #2

[kramer1]

First teamers against theirs....ass whoopin. The Jets blow.

LOL @ the Jets playing their 1st team against our second and third.

We need a backup QB worth a damn.

Cobi Hamilton is the worst WR I've ever seen.

Burkhead's career is over.

Another wasted 2nd round pick in Hill. Shocking.

Leon Hall is burnt toast now.

Get Chris Crocker on the phone, please.

You thought Tate was bad at returns? Dane is worse.

If Geno doesn't come back strong we're fucked.

Hill looked OK in limited work. 16 yards on 3 carries. It'll be interesting to compare his career with Hyde. That will be the way to gauge that pick.

Crocker's playing for Zimmer and the Vikings right now. He probably won't last through final cuts though

Hill a wasted pick already? After 10 preseason carries with over 5 yards a pop?

As for Hall, you've been busting his chops since they drafted him, you Buckeye homer.

Burkhead: did his career ever start?

I'm sure Crocker is standing by........

I have a lot of hope for Hill. That bootleg pass he caught and then stopped on a dime to avoid a defender was a thing of beauty. I think he might be really good.

Completely agree about Hamilton -- Why were all the draft experts on our board such fans?

Burkhead is not good. He was never going to be good.

I'm not worried about Hall - He looked like shit after his first injury and looked dynamite by the end of that season.

Sadly, Tate is the only dependable returner on our team.

You know shit about Burkhead. He had all of no snaps last year.

Cincinnati – Three Performances of Note

Matt Scott

Last week Matt Scott showed some potential, however against the Jets it went all sorts of wrong. Scott had a Accuracy percentage of 47.6%, with a -8.6 passing grade. When Scott released the ball in under 2.5 seconds he only completed 30% of passes and produced a QB Rating of 18.8, on 21 dropbacks. When the Jets started to take away the short passing game Scott had difficulty connecting deep down field. There was one pass that had a chance to be completed deep downfield, however Cobi Hamilton failed to locate the ball in the air and the ball dropped harmlessly to the ground. Outside of that one pass, Scott went one for seven on passes over ten yards, another pass Pryor managed to separate Hamilton from the ball down field. The Next two weeks will be a chance to evaluate if Scott is more like week one or week two going forward.

Andy Dalton

Ever since Andy Dalton signed his new contract a couple of weeks ago, there has been a large amount of conversation on if his play warranted the new deal. If this week was anything to go on, and again it is still preseason, he did produce one beautiful pass on a post route to Mohamed Sanu, beating the corner and arriving before the safety had a chance at making a play on the ball. However, with Dalton and his critics he will not be able to answer the questions until he can prove that he can perform highly in the playoffs.

Backup Defensive Line

Outside of Margus Hunt (who has shown a great deal of promise this preseason) the Bengals have struggled to find any help to their starting defensive line. The backup defensive line only managed three total pressures against the Jets (not including Hunt’s). However, the Bengals got pushed around in the run game with both Will Clark -3.9 run defense and Christo Bilukidi -3.0 run defense. Once Geno Atkins comes back, the Bengals defensive line will look stronger, but if the Bengals cannot find another rotation piece, both Domata Peko and Brandon Thompson will have to play a significant amount of snaps. Neither player has shown that they can perform consistently at a high level.

And he'll have no snaps this season either.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Jeremy Hill is not that bad. put him on another team and he's a beast...

 

[Cincyfan78]

Crocker signed with another team, I think.

Hill will be just fine.

Hall looked fine last year before going back down with an injury. It's going to take some time. Though, one wonders if it might be time to use him full-time in the slot where he excels.

Defensive line doesn't really bother me much. With Atkins still out, we have backups rotating in with our 1st team, which has played very well. That speaks well of the guys who will be backups once Atkins returns, and they are bumped down.

Burkhead is never going to get snaps outside of an injury, and even then if it were a major injury the Bengals would be looking to bring someone else in.

Not necessarily due to talent though, but because of injury.
