This is the thing, once Burfict made that great pass breakup our entire Defense just got fired up and played great
the rest of the night. Watch the Offense once Eifert is back and Ogbuehi starts to settle in at RT. Sure, we still have
Bodine playing terrible at Center but i think that once Zeitler doesn't have to help Og as much he can help Bodine.
Plus, we need to have Hewitt out there with Hill and Gio, this will help the run game.
This team can still make a run for it all once the OL starts playing better. Dalton is definately in his prime and has
played as good as can be expected as the OL tries to come together. Same with Lafell, Boyd and Uzomah, it will
come together. Uzomah just needs to work on the jugg machine cause he has rare talent. Kroft is still coming off
injury and doesn't look 100% yet.
Clarke and Hunt have also been impressive for us. Been a wonderful thing to see these guys improvement.
Hewitt played a lot more in the backfield in this game and we still had trouble getting push. I don't have access to film to really analyze what's happening in the running game. In the few frames I could look at on Cincy Jungle I can tell you the line does not seem to be getting to their man and Bodine - who supposedly was playing better - and Ogbuehi have real trouble sustaining blocks. I really liked it when they used Fisher as a FB in the running game last year.
If Uzomah starts catching the ball - especially contested ones - he is going to be a stud. He made two really nice blocks on Boyd's catch and run. The guy has talent. I can see why they keep playing him the majority of TE snaps
Clark and Hunt have been making an impact this year. Very excited about this unexpected development.
