Jets QB Mike White?

So he may not be a turnover machine (though he threw 2 picks in 3 quarters, on Sunday), but he looks like a classic pocket/statue guy, like Flacco (lol) and with Becton out, plus Moses (a RT) at LT, I cannot see us not rush him to death on the edge and disrupt things.

Lafleur can call a phenomenal game to negate it, but I definitely think we can disrupt enough, to throw White off his game (no pun intended).

As I mentioned yesterday in another thread, they get great pressure from their interior, so Carman/Hill/Hopkins/Spain all need to be on their A game and then I think our offense can flourish.

Fingers crossed we take care of business and get Brandon Allen to take some snaps again.

Wait a minute, you're telling they are putting a Right Tackle at Left Tackle to deal with Hendrickson???

Moses was a RT for his entire time at Washington and he is known as a plodder and great run blocker, but too slow to handle speed guys, especially at LT.

When Becton went down in week 1, Moses has been the LT since.

This isn't even CLOSE to the same team or coaching staff... you can throw that "history" out the window.

Yep. Time to let old narratives die. It would be like saying we can’t ever beat the Steelers.

Yeah those old tendencies are long gone except in the minds of the fanbase. I suffer from it as well.

Yep.  We've now beaten them twice consecutively, by more than one score... whoda thunk it?

Everyone needs to take a note from Emo Vader, I mean Kylo Ren.

Seems to me one area the Bengals aren't excelling in is a positive turnover ratio. It'd be great to have White provide a few interceptions!

Our game against Chicago this year tho

I mean, I suppose it doesn't matter what we do as fans, but I hope the team doesn't take this lightly. It is an away game. They know we are leading the conference. They are going to be up for this and preparing hard this week. 

We absolutely do have an opportunity for the pass rushers to improve their stats. Everyone needs to play clean too because you know our luck with the refs won't last.

What about our game against Chicago? Dalton and the Bears defense beat us, not Justin Fields.

Fields stat line for that game;

6-13 60 yards 0 TD 1 INT 27.7 passer rating

This is where people are ridiculous.

A rookie QB has *1* good game against us, like 20 years ago and all of a sudden, "wE cAn'T sToP rOoKiE qBs!"

We have had bad games agianst rookies, but many more good ones (and some average):

So overall, in the past 20 years against rookie starters:

- 22-21 record and before 2018, we were 21-13, so really, the only bad stretch has been in the past 3 years. But we've also faced much-better rookies, in the past 3 years (save for Rudolph and Tua)
- 79.2 average QB rating given up, with a high of 143.9 (Hayseed), a low of 14.7 (Orton) and a median of 86.5. So basically, the average rookie QB has performed like Carsone (87.9 career QB Rating) or Andy (87.5 career QB Rating).
- Given that this is a team sport, Flacco (1), Lamar (1), Rudolph (1), Sanchez and Gradkowski, all won due to their team and not because of their own performance (ESPECIALLY in the latter 2 cases; played backups against the Jets and the refs screwed up against the Bucs).

So yes, not only should we let the old narrative die, but we should also discredit it completely, as neither Carsone nor Andy will be making any HoF, anytime soon.

EDIT**and if we want to go the, "scrub," route, then that narrative is blatantly-false, as we have a significantly-better record against scrubs than what is, "common knowledge," around these parts (I went through essentially every game since 2002, in compiling this data and we beat RGIII with 1 leg, Austin Davis, Kellen Clemens, Thad Lewis, EJ Manuel, Manziel {again}, Colt McCoy {again}, Brady Quinn, etc. We never lost to ANY of those guys, save for maybe Tom Savage in 2016).

Apples and oranges.  They were keeping Burrow very protected, and running in to a wall (while running more than passing).  I don't blame the coaches for being tentative based on the Burrow we are seeing now.

Andrew the Bengals PFF guy (or whatever his name is), basically said the same thing this afternoon.

Fingers crossed
