The Defence, The Passing Game and Closing it Out @ the Bengals

[SepticeyePoe]

@Ellicottraven , here's a little visual symphony from your son's performance yesterday.

Man what horrible editing lol

Harbaugh said it wasn't anything major, but Jeff spotted him leaving in a boot. So seems like he could miss at least a little bit of time.

How is that not serious?

 

[Tank]

Anyone else watch this live and just start laughing cuz we definitely got away with one. Horrible call

Cincinnati coach was livid! lol

Man what horrible editing lol

Penalties really negated some big plays yesterday. Need to clean that up.

 

[gtalk12]

Cincinnati coach was livid! lol

Veteran move lol

The more OBJ plays here the more I like him lmaoooo

A few weeks isn’t serious to Harbaugh

One more thing to say about this game and I'm sure somebody pointed this out before. I really liked the fact that Lamar was decisive when he decided to turn on the jets and scramble for some yards. A complete 180 from when we got blown out by the Bengals at home in 2021 when Lamar made it clear that he was gonna stay in the pocket.

 

[rossihunter2]

We didn't see Oweh because he basically wasn't out there. Hope he's OK....

Stephens playing 100% of the snaps

They need to stop pretending this dude is a safety lol

I’m really happy with how this DB group has turned out so far with Marlon out of the fold

And really cool that it’s the young guys stepping up - stephens and Washington (if only he could just grow a little lol)

Made consistently good decisions
When the bengals DL split he just took what they opened up in front of jum

If he keeps doing that and punishing teams through the air then he is indefensible

 

[RavensMania]

Man do Bengal fans get quiet

love it

 

[BoredMarine13]

this and the hands to the face that saved lamar from another fumble were both bullshit

but the bengals also got away with a block in the back on the punt return, and two bullshit holds in the 2 minute drill when we were driving at the end of the first half

refs were shocking - but it mostly evened out

Definitely went both ways, i just got a kick out of OBJ pulling him to the ground. Savvy vet move, but also hilarious the refs fell for it.

I think he was a little timid in the first half. Felt like opportunities were there 2-3 seconds after the snap on a few occasions. Of course there may have been a spy that we couldn’t see off camera , but seemed like there were a few moments missed.

He's definitely not a safety lolol. With Stephens, Rock, and Darby all being totally serviceable I really think this might be a Marlon plays a lot of slot year. Alongside Hamilton especially when MW comes back.

Stephens is a corner and it should be settled by now. I was annoyed to hear they moved him to S, I was sold on him at cb 2 years ago, he’s got cb hips, when you find nfl caliber cb hips and he checks the other athletic boxes, you put him at cb, don’t waste the most crucial and maybe hardest to find trait in the most crucial of defensive positions, especially when you have a shortage there already.

Not only that, but the 2 things he’s most lacking in, zone awareness and ball awareness, are magnified for safeties in a zone heavy scheme, more than corners.

Feels like they’re dicking around with him

Lamar still isn’t aiming to run. First half he didn’t NEED to do it and plays were getting open downfield, he was tryna put the game away in the fourth which is where the switch flipped and he’s taking first downs with his feet what seemed like every 2-3 plays.

 

[OURavensFan]

Since you wouldn’t have seen it on TV, the Bengals replayed the Tyler Huntley play midway through the 1st half and made a trivia question on predicting what happened next. Lol

 

[Tank]

Maybe cam Taylor Britt should git gud

Translation please. lol
