Bengals preparation article

[higgy100]

Hope posting an article is not against the rules. Pretty good article about the Bengals and how they prepare defensively on a weekly basis just from a red zone perspective that most all of us never to get hear about. Lots of things these players do on their own on top of the incredible amount of hours they/coaches prepare. Also, it shows the amount of leadership provided by Bates and Bell.

Not a knock but I think most people believe the weekly schedule is pretty benign with an off day/ recovery day, a film session day, implementing a game plan, a walk thru, etc.

2 external issues figure most prominently in prep for Buffalo... the wind and the noise. 1. The Bengals practicing inside Paycor Thursday on a very windy day and its swirling winds figure to help. 2. Noise in practice helps getting ready for silent cadence.

I like the preparation moves.

Same here. Not supposed to be a lot of wind gusts on Sunday, but never know what the forecast will be by Sunday.

Bengals were doing pretty well with the silent cadence this year, but now need to integrate new lineman. Hope not to see a lot of false starts.

And hope the Bills don't do what they were alleged to do to the Patriots a few years back, playing that train horn when the Patriots were running a hurry-up offense.

Certainly helps that Ted is still healthy as he is our most important piece on the OL and I am sure they are working really hard 
this week making the new guys comfortable. Short turn around but this isn't the Ravens Defense and Carman wasn't terrible in 
that game so that is encouraging. Didn't know that with the train horn against the Pats. Is that legal?

Not supposed to play the train horn once the huddle is broken and players are at the line. It was alleged they did so in a game against the Patriots, but I don't know if that was ever confirmed. But some Bills fans like it because they say it disrupts the offense.

But I expect the Bengals are prepared for everything at this point. They held up very well in KC last year; there weren't any false starts or delays of game at all on the part of the Bengals. There were two offensive holding penalties. The Bengals had more penalties than the Chiefs (6 to 4, 65 yards to 35 yards), but only two on the offensive line. I expect them to be as well prepared this year in Buffalo.

Ya know, one thing I never really thought about before was that Ted Karras has so much experience playing against the Bills and in Buffalo specifically given he played with the Patriots.
That experience is going to be valuable going into this game.

I hear Burrow is preparing by putting the below video on repeat:

Thanks Nepa, never heard that before. I also expect our OL to be well prepared in this game with Ted at the helm.

NEXT MAN UP!!!

For sure, Ted knows what it's like playing there more than about anybody. He is such a great pick up for us I cannot say it enough.
