theJ Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Game this Sunday. Sounds like Cordy might actually play! But also sounds like they're still tippy toeing around Green. So i'm betting he doesn't play. Jags win, 27-13. Fournette runs for 180 and 2 TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our LBs are horrible but they seem to be less horrible about stopping runs up the middle vs. stretch/outside zone runs. I looked back at 'similar' RBs to Fournette (for fantasy/DFS reasons) against the Bengals and I saw: Chris Carson: 15/46 James Connor: 10/42 Mark Ingram: 13/52 It's been Kyler, LJax, Jaylen Samuels (wildcat), the entire 49ers outside zone scheme that's killed us on the ground...

Point well taken. I had to look up Fournette's charts to see how they've been running him. They've run him outside quite a bit, he just hasn't been successful at it. It's going to be one of those "what gives first" scenarios i think. Personally i'll bet on the Bengals to lose contain. Fournette isn't a burner, but if the Jags are intent on getting him outside of the hashes, i think he'll find the Bengals LB's out of position and too slow to catch him. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts/player/leonard-fournette/FOU564970 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you're probably right. If so, i'm sorry in advance. I want that #1 pick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Honestly the only sliver of hope the Bengals have is that Cordy and AJ come back this week and provide a huge spark. They're really beat up on defense at the moment (will they have a healthy 46 man roster?), which is just going to make a bad situation worse. Who are they even going to start at corner? Dennard in his first week back? McCrae? Shawn Williams is playing on one leg. Dunlap i'm assuming is still hurt. Atkins and Lawson have been non-factors. Hubbard had a great week 1, and has been taken advantage of lately in the run game. It's just a mess. On offense, Andy is flinching in his sleep. Their whole offense last week was throwing back shoulder catches to Auden Tate. Eifert and Gio are starring on the milk carton. Joe Mixon is getting hit in the backfield on every single carry and has forgotten how to break tackles. The only positives so far this year have been Boyd, Hopkins and Tate. I can't see a path toward them winning this game. It would have to be some really wild stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The Jacksonville defensive line against our offensive line will be the defining factor of the game. They’ll raise hell on Andy. Minshew will do the rest. 26-16 Jaguars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Ramsey's gone. Dalton breathes a few times in the pocket. Boyd goes off. Jags 22-21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 AJ didn't practice today. So he's probably out. Cordy practiced in full. If he does so again tomorrow, he'll probably play. But...I don't expect hes going to come in and save this line. He's been out of football for two months now, unable to practice or even work out. I expect hes going to be pretty bad. Or at best, rotate time with Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 At this point they obviously should have put AJ on IR. I doubt they bring him back the week before the bye (next week). So we'll see him in week 10. For an ankle sprain. 14 weeks. Jeez that's frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The birth of the next Tom Brady in this game: Ryan Finley. Dalton’s mobility will get destroyed against the Jags D Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing that could happen to the Bengals is that Finley plays, wins a few games, and the team is fooled into passing on a QB in this years draft. He's not the answer.

Not just a normal sprain Sure, but when you see the guy running and doing the exercises we've all seen the videos of 4 weeks ago, you start to wonder if this is a business decision.
