(Preseason Week 1) *** Vikings @ Bengals - GameDay Thread***

[bonesaw]

started the preseason worried about the O and was confident on our defensive depth.

So, far tonight the O looks like the good and deep unit. The second team Dline and DB's need to pick it up.

First team D looks good
Clarke is looking good
Core and Boyd looked good
Nugent is a liability
We either need another CB or move Shaw back to CB
Ced is not built to be a RT
They should give Brown a plane ticket at halftime
Vigil is big and athletic
Backup QB is a strength

+ZAMPESE and i agree.  Oh and Hunt just isn't a football player.

IDK if it's just years of seeing Willie and Andre there, but it just doesn't "look right".

I wasn't paying much attention to Ced, was he playing bad?

Not special teams finest game.

Both Ced and Jake are just in too good of shape - both need more biscuits and gravy to fill that slot 

[jj22]

Hardison has a quick first step

[bonesaw]

been watching Hunt alot....not impressed unfortunately

[Atomic Orange]

Let's see Alford in the slot Marv.

[Big Boss]

I'd say it's time to wrap up the Hunt experiment.

[coachmcneil71]

[masonbengals fan]

Alex Erickson, WR Wisconsin. Slot receiver type, catches everything thrown to him, reminds me of Jordan Shipley a bit cause he is white lol

Seriously though, doing all the right things. With those hands should push for a spot and can return kicks and punts, we will see.

Loving the rookie WR's right now and Alford. Speed and hands.
