Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition

[WCommandersfan99]

Rewatching the game now. Like what I'm seeing from Bill and Rodriguez. Could be our new 1-2 punch. Deebo's long run was sweet in the 1st half. Dude looked healthy and hungry. Love getting him. Hartman struggling. Great having football again.

I want to reiterate our offense will be good with or without Terry. I want Terry though to play.

The Bengals defense is terrible and their best player is holding out. We 100 percent need Terry for our passing game.

Our passing game will be fine with or without Terry. Just better with him. Deebo has similar production. Add in now Gallup, Lane, Brooks, a healthy Noah Brown. We have talent and the man in JD5. Terry's choice.

You are way underestimating Terry’s importance. Doesn’t matter because he will be playing week 1.

You are underestimating Jayden Daniels. He will ball out and move the ball with or without Terry through the air. He is the franchise and the offense not Terry. Recognize.

As I said in my last post, our passing game will be better with Terry. Fine either way.

Pre season means nothing. We'll see how the offense fairs game 1. These games are garbage.

Thought the trench play was pretty damn hold on both sides of the ball. Quan Martin looks primed for a good season. John Bates showing why he got that contract. And two RB showing BRob is replaceable.

Thought team showed well

Yeah agree with all this. W or L don’t mean anything in pre season obviously. Im excited for the season to begin. Hope to God its with Terry.

We need terry for all cylinders. End of story. Theres countless plays he made last year, clutch as all hell, that as far as we have seen? No one on the roster is making. Deebo isnt scoring that lions screen or the Dallas play, hes not as fast as terry and neither is anyone else on the roster until we have seen otherwise. The guys makes the clutch catches we and jayden need.

Hes not a replaceable jag. Lol @ gallup even in the same text sentence homey just... lol

Yeah Gallup isn’t easing the pain of the Terry situation.

I suspect Gallup doesn’t make the team. Not hearing about any impact.

Gallup has shown zero this offseason, no way he even makes the team. The wr dropoff after Terry is huge. Noah Brown is serviceable when healthy, but every catch is contested vs man. Deebo was sorely needed and our 2nd best option, I am glad they've been pushing him on td corner fades to develop his wr chops vs screens, etc. name another WR worthy of starting. You can't. And although Lane has some potential, he is sometimes in the wrong spot, he is a rookie, but against starters that could be a pick six. I would guess he's #4, but any separation with him is minimal. Anyone after them is replaceable. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the rest and picked up a cut wr from another team. I am even starting to think McCafferty is at risk, he has done zero this off season, although he plays special teams well. Another hint is why are they playing kasmir allen at RB? Are they gonna keep 4 RB vs only 5WR? I mean it is possible, but probably not wise. We are really missing zacheus type. I frankly think we will get one soon. The ideal scenario is to swap Brob for a #4WR from another team to help us AND to block any chance he ends up on the cowboys.

Good and typically dense assessment. (Dense as in beefy, not lame-brained!) At his point I'm not worried about our RB room. I'm much less confident about our receiving corps, although I had an interesting experience with a bunch of Steelers fans in my family on Monday night.

They commented about McLaurin's "holdout" (or whatever we should call it now). My cousin and uncle both said that he has good hands and he's tough physically, but "why does he never seem to be really open?". And yet they both love KK.

We could use a Zacchaeus, or someone else dependable in the slot. And I hope Brown gets and stays healthy--I like his grit. If Lane steps up, we might be OK. I've never quite understood the McCafferty-mania. He is a 3rd(?) rounder who is NOT his brother.

Many here act like out passing game was the 2001 Rams last year with Terry. It was actually average ranking 15th in the entire NFL.

Add in Tunsil, Connerly Jr., Deebo, Lane, and others there is room for improvement here that could be realized with or without Terry. To say we cannot be better without Terry when we were average last year is premature. Team sport not individual. Deebo is no slouch at all and can carry the rock unlike Terry. I cannot emphasize enough how much the new tackles will help the passing game. Again, passing game will be fine with or without Terry just better with him. AP knows this.

It would have been much worse without the man you are under valuing. You are not going to win an argument that says our passing game will be fine with or without Terry no matter how many times you try. Lol.
