First of all, I will begin by saying that I have incredible respect for Mike Vrabel as a player and a coach. Given two weeks to prepare for Cincy will be a huge advantage for them, as well as being at home.
I fully expect Vrabel to try and take away any deep shots with Chase and Higgins and force Burrow to be patient and work underneath. That isn't exactly the worst recipe as I look at the PFF ratings for the Titans game by game. They aren't blessed with a great pass rush. Especially against teams that go 3 WR. Their pass coverage isn't very good, either, unless they were facing a team with minimal weapons and poor QB play. The bottom line? I think the Bengals can score on them....
To get to 30 points the recipe will have to have these three main ingredients:
Limit Titans rush game giving them 10-12 play drives that minimize possession for the Bengals
No turnovers
TDs not FGs.....No red zone handoffs on 2nd and 10. My thoughts are that there is no way you are stopping Burrow on three straight plays. If you do that, fine, they will have to settle for three points. I just don't want to see a possession like the end of the Raider game where Burrow only gets a throw on 3rd and 11.
To stop the Titans, the Bengals have to be disciplined. Stay in rush lanes, because Tannehill isn't afraid to tuck it and run, either. That has been a HUGE part of their run in the end of the season. He moves the chains and takes shots with his body (doesn't go down in to a slide). The Bengals will need a huge game out of Pratt and Wilson (and perhaps Bailey, who has been really good in coverage).
I think Chido will minimize Brown, but the safeties will need to rally and help the LBs take down Henry.
Could someone let me know of you are able to use this link?
