Defense

[raycafan]

I thought the defense played pretty good today. The Bengals have been scoring pretty well thus far this season. I think Cam Sutton looked pretty good today, covering that tall tight end, he seemed to be in the play. Gives us some hope as the season progresses they are getting better. Can not stop all the plays, but all it takes is few to change the game.

Holding a quality Offense to 21 is a pretty good day at the office and they seemed to be getting after Dalton pretty well. Of course, there were some picks dropped but it's not so bad when you win.

The D played very well today, they let a couple Int's slip through their hands which would of turned a very good performance into a great performance.

They did a great job today. Moving forward they have to scheme to minimize Vince Williams covering WR’s when we’re running a DB blitz, and i found it interesting that Artie was pulled (Don’t think it was an injury) after the PI call.

I think the awful reaction on the TD pass may have also had something to do with that. He reminded me of a kid playing sports for the first time and someone told him to "stand here". He took it so literally that he didn't move when the receiver ran to a different spot.

Thats a problem when you keep multiple LBers on the field while blitzing two DB's.

I agree. This drives me nuts.

But I'll give them some credit for being better. But a lot of the credit goes to Cincy dropping a lot of passes at the wrong time. I'd say the answer is somewhere in the middle. We're getting better, but we're not great.
