What are you looking for in the Skins game? - bfine32 - 08-13-2019
Personally:
See if Pratt moves forward
Maybe Ross taking a snap or 2
Finley getting more PT than Driskel
Who we trot out as the starting oline

Deep penetrations into red skin territory.
No, wait. That is what I am looking for on Pornhub.
In the upcoming Bengals football game I am looking for more than 5 rushing yards.

Defense playing better.
More rushing and better YPC
Taylor has already said Finley will run the #2.

Better tackling and a better run game.

Aggressiveness on defense - the whole problem was they played tentatively.
Good old fashioned power running.
RE: What are you looking for in the Skins game? - McC - 08-13-2019
BETTER.

The Skins game? Isn't that where the old guys are golfing, and they earn money for "winning" each hole, or something like that?
RE: What are you looking for in the Skins game? - Pat5775 - 08-13-2019
Tackling, tackling and more tackling. The last game was atrocious in that regard. I saw better tackling in middle school games. These are “professionals”, knowing how to tackle should be second nature at this point. Clearly, it isn’t. I hope Taylor and Anarumo address this issue and fix it.

I'd like to see Phillips handle a punt... Then I'd like to see him do something with it once he does.

I'm curious if we'll get to see Darius Guice and if he is worth drafting in fantasy.
RE: What are you looking for in the Skins game? - Sweetness - 08-13-2019
Driskel not to be the #2 QB sent out there. That alone would give me confidence

Trent Williams getting on our bus after the game

Offense- I want to see a better job running the Ball and I want to see Dalton complete a deep ball.
Defensively- I want to see a fast moving defense.
RE: What are you looking for in the Skins game? - NKURyan - 08-13-2019
Offense - more of the same from the first team, only with Mixon showing why people shouldn't be too worried about the run game just yet
Defense - improvement, obviously
Special Teams - let's try to hold on to the ball, shall we?
RE: What are you looking for in the Skins game? - masonbengals fan - 08-13-2019
Improvement

Geez there's so many possible answers I don't know which one to pick, so I guess I have to list them.
1. Special team being special again, let alone not muffing the ball. (Nothing like last week's performance ever happened under Marvin - just saying). Who ever heard of an NFL punt return team muffing the ball 3 times in one game and losing two of them? I don't believe I've ever seen that before.
2. Running game that resembles one that gets yards. We all would like to see Mixon lead the league in rushing so might as well get that thing going this weekend. Play action doesn't do much for an offense if the running game isn't getting yards.
3. A defense that tackles.
4. LBers who actually cover TEs and RBs and not letting them run free. Chiefs' TEs had a field day last week.
5. Sacks from the DL. There definitely was pressures last week, but the DL never got home, not even against guys who will be sitting at home on Sunday in a few weeks.
6. Dolegala getting some playing time. If he looked good in OTA, then let's see it.
7. Malone stepping into that outside WR spot and reeling in several catches, without running the routes wrong.
8. Another WR stepping up for that #3 WR spot. Boy Wonder's day-to-day injury status will last at least 3 weeks and he won't get on the field Thursday. Perfect time for someone to make a name for themselves.

I want to see the team get drunk and happy after a perfectly played game.

I don't ever want to see Phillips back there fielding punts again....

Less penalties
Better wrap-up tackling
Unless some fans run on the field to help, I do not expect the Bengals to be able to cover a TE in my life-time.
Another strong outing by Finley
Like Bfine stated: Coaxing/begging Trent to come back to Cincinnati on the team bus.
