theJ Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah, i don't have 5 ups. Up Thought WJ3 played a really good game. He should probably be starting. Mixon did a nice job when given carries. Defense did a good job on 3rd and short. Felt like they stopped about 5 of them. (probably helps the Steelers brought in their short yard "specialist" - aka the guy who is much worse at it than Bell, but whatever) Down Pass blocking - they were all pretty bad. Pretty much no clean pockets in the second half. Carlos Dunlap - this guy has been invisible all season Pass rush in general. They never really made Ben uncomfortable. Kirkpatrick - tackling was bad. Coverage was bad. Dalton's fourth down throw-away. I mean, what in the hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the "Let's not cover either gunner and goad them into going for it" play in the Down category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochocinco4pres Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 J, can't argue with that list. WJ3 was a stud. Mixon was great but was limited since they never gave him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Seriously! Don't we get caught off guard by a trick play every time we play them? It's like we asked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Nix Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Our run defense was pitiful. Bell made our team look like children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVillain112 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Can't wait for WJIII to play spot duty again while Kirkpatrick plays 100% of the snaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Nix Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Positives I saw - William Jackson - Mixon in first half - Dalton in first half - Brandon Lafell had some good catches - Defensive stops on 3rd and short other than that it was pretty sad in the second half. Our tackles and center continue to look putrid. Another poor showing following bye weeks. The theme seems to be shut down AJ Green and our offense sputters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is accurate. He's been burned a few times this year, but overall has been their best corner. Dennard has been good too. He's tackled really well.

INbengalfan Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Since nobody brought him up... I'll add MJ to the up group. He continues to play the hybrid role extremely well. Well enough, that he plays out this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
