Bengals Packers Preseason Game One Observations

[Housh]

We were talking about 3 safety looks with Hill, Battle and Scott but damn is Nick Scott in trouble with Tycen playing well?

Jay Tufele has been wrecking the backup Offensive Line but didnt win against the starters.

DJ Turner looks good.

Not much from our 1st round pick.
Backup QB is a bit of a need. I liked our chances last year better if burrow went down.

No way you like Allen over Browning

Allen was TRASH

1st game for him. I like what I see & liked the pick when it was made. 

[Bengalion]

Winners so far: Tycen Anderson, D.j Turner, Tufele, Hudson. Pass protection has been ok.

[Joelist]

Browning has more zip on the ball than last year but strangely he seems to have really questionable decision making skills in the pocket - he regressed in that department.

[Housh]

Really liked alot of defenders in that half

Anderson, Battle, Tufele, all made plays


Murphy was close on a lot of pressures but couldn’t get home. That was all over his scouting report too btw.

I wonder if Myles can run some OLB

Yeah it doesn’t seem like we’re trying to run the ball more this year. I expect the offense to be pretty similar—which isn’t a bad thing. But it’s be nice to have a quicker back that’s good at pass pro.

[StoneTheCrow]

Murphy has been stonewalled.

Murphy's scouting report said he needs to learn more moves at the line. It shows.

By the end of the year he’ll be what he’s always been. A ST ace. Thomas is in trouble for those who thought he had a shot.

He looks big and kind of slow for an edge player to me, but what the hell do I know?

What would you call browning then? I thought Allen won a couple games atleast. I could be wrong.

My comment was more of a sarcastic comment—like, ‘browning is so bad he’s worse than Allen’ kind of comment.

I’m not going to argue trash qbs with you. It’d be nice to have a decent backup. We haven’t had one with burrow.

[Bengalion]

Any updates on Hudson? Thought it was a concussion

[jj22]

Murphy won’t be active early in the season. If at all this year without injury. Good news is the rest of the class looks promising.

Based on what he's shown so far he needs to be on the interior in pass rush situations. Still could be a good strong side DE in running situations.

[Danimal]

Lot of things to be positive about. Anderson looks like a guy that needs to be on the field. Battle and Turner look promising. Poison Ivey is raw, not sure about him. Browning not looking very good at all. Kind of surprised at that. Money Mac seems to be back.

[Joelist]

Kinda hard to judge Murphy when we were so completely vanilla and did literally nothing to give him any edge. No stunts, no twists, nothing. We just literally lined up 1-1 and went for it.

[BengalsLUFC]

Defence missing studs has not looked bad at all.

Yoshi seems to be a 6ft+ guy who turns into a 4ft migit when the ball comes his way was hoping for better although Browning hasn’t looked great.

Still it’s so nice to see PBS and a somewhat meaningful game again for the first time in 7 months.

The ball is hot coming out of Semians hands
