Thought from the NYG game:
Starters on both sides looked incredible
Center is an issue
The big white WR is not making the team
Phat Sims looks good. Personal favs aren’t going to push him
Still is still bad and Hardison didn’t look good at all
Shaw is a gamer
Hill (DB) is going to fight for a spot
Nobody looked good at PR/KR
Nugent is safe
Of course these are fluid. Post yours.

I am really curious to know if McCarron will be playing today? I doubt he will but it would be awesome if he would. I'm like so overwhelmed to watch him play.
Anyone know if he is or not?

Realizing tonight's game is nothing more than a 3rd practice session with the Giants, is there anything you'd specifically like to see?
For me it's the diversity of the offense with Eifert and MLJ back in the lineup. Also, can't wait to get a look at the young TE's.
As for the defense, looking forward to watch the young corner's and safeties. Would also be interested in the DL but fully believe they'll be ridiculous regular season with the health and rotation back.

Arguably the most talented player on defense behind Geno; it's time for Mr.Dunlap to step up his game. He is far too talented to have single digit sacks per season. This guy was a complete monster in limited time his rookie season and shows flashes of brilliance. The problem is that there are games where we don't even notice him. He is a prototypical 4-3 DE. Size, speed, power. I have been his biggest defender but I really hope he steps up and we see an all-pro type season from him. He will hopefully have Atkins in the middle taking care of business so there are no excuses for him this season.

Yes, another Atkins thread by me, but I don't see how you can't be pumped up about news like this.
I'm sitting here smiling and laughing as I'm reading this article, because our defense is going to be stupid good:
Quote:He spent 2014 getting blocked, not getting a lot of push inside and not commanding the double, which meant those single blocks elsewhere that freed guys to rush the passer weren't as frequent. The sack numbers for the Bengals plummeted from 43 in 2013 to 20 in 2014, which was last in the league.
With Geno back to form, MJ back, and guys like Dunlap being able to produce big when being single blocked, I fully expect our sack numbers to be near the top of the league. I think guys like Sims and Still will benefit greatly from this and be able to have field days, just like our ends, but the guy I'm happiest to see (if we give him a chance) is Hardison because I'd love to watch lines try to block Geno and then also account for Hardison's speed up the middle and the ends on the outside.
Like I said in the last thread, he spent last offseason rehabbing, whereas this offseason he's been able to focus on his game and his technique, which everyone is noticing:
Quote:The same words kept coming out of the mouths of every Cincinnati Bengals coach, linemen, both offensive and defensive, and anybody else associated with the team here this week.
"Geno can't be blocked."
Apparently, the Giants and trouble blocking him, too, so it's not just us.
Guenther also said as much:
Quote:"The three-technique (Atkins' spot) is so important in our defense," Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. "When Geno is playing at a high level, it makes everybody else that much better. That's part of why we struggled last year."
Atkins is staying low-key and not commenting at all, but you can tell the dude is HUNGRY!
It's going to be a hell of a season!

http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Marv-opens-it-up-for-opener/7340dcbc-58bd-4f16-8cf5-0c4f38fdbaca
Wide receiver Marvin Jones, the X factor in offensive coordinator Hue Jackson’s formula, had the best day of his comeback from last year’s foot miseries that cost him all of the 2014 season when he and the Bengals operated in high gear Wednesday during the final joint practice with the Giants.
"I opened it up really for the first time since I’ve been back in this thing," Jones said. "Every time you can get football moments where you fall and it gets gritty and some body cleats you like I got cleated, I got up and said, ‘OK. That’s cool. You want those. I haven’t been in those situations and for me to get back doing that is pretty cool.”
Stepping back into the first team mix, Jones helped quarterback Andy Dalton hit 18 of 27 passes in team drills against the Giants even though they cut back Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green’s snaps. But there were still plenty of targets.
