Superbowl winning headcoach, good defensive coordinator, and a great young core on defense.
This could be a tricky game for us if we don't take advantage of their QB.
Defensively
Where their strong at- Pass Rush- Micah Parsons is a game changer when he is asked to attack the QB but he isn't the only one capable of wrecking havoc on the line. Demarcus Lawrence, Neville Gallimore, Trysten Hill, and Osa Odighizuwa are all capable Interior rushers.. not to mention they have Dante Fowler who can get after the QB.
Trevon Diggs is special at CB but the secondary isn't that impressive besides him. Also Kearse the leader of the secondary will be out of action this week. Boyd should dominate his matchup. If Higgins plays expect a big game from him as well.
Weaknesse- their a small team with no real player at NT. Expect the Bengals to run the football a lot this game and run RPOs as well as Play action off the run game. Also look for the Bengals to attack Vander Esch at LBer with Mixon and Hurst in the passing game.
Offensively
The offensive line isn't great but not terrible, they lack weapons except for lamb at Wr, and they have a backup QB starting..
Watch for the short passing game with Pollard at RB and Schultz at TE.
Overall- Dallas is going to want to ugly it up. The key will be for the Bengals to get up early and force cooper rush to make big plays with his arm.
They have the worst offense in football and their coach is complete trash..
