Bates, Burrow, Boyd, Huber

There are very few run-first teams (some are more tilted this year than in the past, like pitt) like Seattle, Tennessee, and Washington....and the Bengals under Lou did pretty well against those offenses.  I think the Bengals thought the Browns would come out running the ball and instead they aired it out in week 2 and then turned to the run to salt the lead away.  

You can say that Cincy isn't very good against the pass (and that would be true) but I can't help but wonder about what I saw Del Rio doing and Anarumo's failures against the pass.  No pass rush, no sacks, no forced fumbles, and no INTs (at least very few...). 

On a side note, Washington's defense is all of a sudden looking like killers.  With Alex Smith not losing games for them (as some of their previous QBs have done), the WFT might be the favorite in the NFC Least.  
I would agree with this. We just need to somehow create some pressure. Hard to evaluate the db's when they need to cover till the cows come home.
