Well shucks.

I get exactly what you are saying.  Fundamentals should be an automatic at this point.  Preseason or not.


I wonder if people think Zimmer wouldn't be screaming about piss pour tackling in a preseason game?


LMFAO


Short memories around these parts.

Remember in 2012 when the 3rd preseason game and the Bengals couldn't even get a runner to gain over 20 yards besides Dalton? Or that they allowed two Aaron Rodgers rushing touchdowns in the first quarter?

How about 2013 in the 3rd preseason game where Dre Kirkpatrick was getting beat badly by Dez Bryant? The defense gave up two touchdowns to Tony Romo and again the offense struggled?

There's also last year against the Cardinals where Gio only got a 1.7 YPC average. Then throw in the offense couldn't score touchdowns?

In all 4 of those games the 1st team offense didn't score a touchdown. Yet this team has made the playoffs year in and year out. Although 2014 was a bad year for Dalton, he improved every year even though his preseason games weren't tremendous. The defense played vanilla. The rushing attack seemed abysmal.

and new england..and chicago and Pitt and baltimore etc..all have had lousy preseason games and have gone on and done well

if the bengals were to play tampa this sunday in a regular season game you would see a totally different outcome

again ..Tampa was playing in their superbowl with Winston and a team that had lost every game at home last year

they would have done the same to the patriots, seattle etc..good teams dont show all their cards in preseason

for avid bengals fans you all sure give up too easily

I'm not a Hue fan, but this is just a very illogical point to try to be making.

You never heard the phrase putting players in a position to succeed?  This is what that phrase means.

That and teaching are the two biggest jobs a coordinator has.
