Thoughts after a few weeks...

Great DL against suspect O-line showed why the adage "games are won and lost in the trenches". SF rushed four and played seven in the back end which gave Dalton little chance to complete passes . Another game with no run game and Dalton was doomed. All that being said I believe there is a method to the madness when it comes to beating the Bengals with Dalton as QB. Seems he has more passes batted down than any QB I have ever seen. Also his speed when flushed from the pocket is very slow. When he is ineffective why not bring in the rookie and let him play?

Well, they actually had 5-6 hugging the LOS more often than not but your point is well taken. Seattle a week ago played far more on the LOS because they had no game film on Taylor and the new offense so they had to sell out and dared AD to beat them. AD was able to get favorable one-on-one matchups.

The new MO on Cinci. after yesterday is that this OL is really terrible running the ball and that even an adequate defense can stop the run with 5-6 defenders, leaving another 5-6 back in the secondary. Dalton won't be able to get many favorable matchups without at least a great individual move like Boyd did with the out and up move yesterday in the 1st quarter that went for 40 yards..
