Week 5
Top 5 offense
Jamar Chase 91.8

Ted Karras 62.6


Top 5 defense
BJ Hill 78.8

When Ossai is Top 5 on D, I know we have problems.

Bengals team ranks post-Week 5, per PFF

Offense:
Pass block: 17/32
Run block: 27/32
Rushing: 23/32
Passing: 2/32 (!)

Defense:
Run D: 10/32
Coverage: 25/32
Tackling: 29/32
Pass rush: 31/32 (!)

It is what it looks like. A team reliant on its stars - Burrow, Chase, and Higgins.

The game played out on offense as hoped using their star power.  That's where they had to go down swinging.

They still can’t run block lol

The Bengals iDL had 86 total pass rushing opportunities yesterday, per PFF.

BJ Hill had 3 wins on 30 rushes.

The combination of the other iDL (Jenkins, Jackson, Guy, Tufele) had 0 wins on 56 rushes.

The biggest problem on the team and should be priority #1 for the ‘25 Draft.

And it’s extra hard to close out games when the team is poor at running the ball. You’d like to run the ball to ice games.

Geno Stone was pathetically awful this game.

And with the game on the line and yards needed to make an easier FG attempt the coaching staff decided to go with our weakness. Brilliant

He has been all season. Ravens double agent confirmed.

I know it's his first game back from injury, but I'm really going to need to start seeing something from Murphy.

[*psychdoctor*]

The Bengals have so many holes on both the DL and OL. Safety. CB. Everywhere. They have to think about replacing Karras and Cappa.

He looked awfully slow moving when attempting to chase Jackson. When I say slow, I mean on the same play BJ Hill appeared to be moving twice as fast as Murphy.

They drafted Lee in to replace Kappa. We're gonna need a RG though.

As a former coach I seldom criticize coaches, but this is what makes Taylor's decision to run the ball after Jackson's turnover so egregious.  With the game on the line you let your playmakers -- in this case Burrow, Higgins and Chase -- make plays.  I would imagine Joe is quietly furious with Zac.

The 2 receivers definitely are. Go watch their interviews after the game.
