Bengals awards from their 34-23 win over the Colts The Bengals defeated the Colts in dramatic fashion in Week 1 White Ryan Finley Jersey , stifling Andrew Luck�s bid at a great storyline in his long-awaited return to the lineup. With the victory, Cincinnati had a number of players and specific instances that stood out the most in the performance.Cast your vote and sound off on your winners of each of our weekly awards!Most Valuable Player:Andy Dalton: As usual, a quarterback lands on the MVP list. However, there is more than meets the eye here. It wasn�t the most productive or pretty of performances by Dalton, but he led the team to an improbable comeback and nailed some clutch throws down the stretch. He finished 21-of-28 for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. However, perhaps the most important play by No. 14 was an effort-filled chase-down of Kenny Moore II after a very early interception to save a pick-six. Joe Mixon: The Bengals� starting back had a great day against Indianapolis. He had 17 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown on the ground, coupled with five catches for 54 yards. His effort on the day might have been at the highest level of any Bengals player on the team. Yes, he took advantage of some nice running lanes, but also created many opportunities with his combination of shiftiness and power. Randy Bullock: For reasons both justifiable and overblown, Bengals fans have long clamored for a young, long-term solution at kicker. However, Cincinnati�s brain trust made the unpopular decision to keep Bullock once again in 2018. In a game full of ebbs and flows, as well as lead changes Joe Mixon Jersey , Cincinnati needed their kicker to come huge and he did. Bullock was 4-of-4 on extra points and 2-of-2 on field goal attempts, accumulating 10 total points. Carlos Dunlap: Though the Bengals� pass-rush was inconsistent on Sunday, it gained some steam in the second half. Dunlap was a big reason for it, getting a sack (with one other called back from penalty), two tackles and a pass defended.Also, this is a penalty in today�s NFL, apparently:Clayton Fejedelem: The Bengals� second-year safety had a big day after being pressed into extensive action because of Shawn Williams� ejection. While Andrew Luck had a nice statistical day, sometimes at the expense of Fejedelem, the young defensive back made a number of nice plays. He had the game-deciding play with a strip, recovery and 83-yard return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but also had 10 total tackles. After seeming as if he would be out of reach, one of the classes best quarterback prospects could be available at No. 11 for the Bengals."For the first time in a while, we don�t really know the Bengals� mindset when it comes to this year�s first round selection. The Marvin Lewis regime didn�t necessarily tip its hand often, but some classes became obvious with positional need. This year�s crop will definitely be a blend of need and best player available William Jackson Jersey , as Zac Taylor rounds up his very first group as a head coach. The young head guy is keeping things close-to-the-vest, as we really don�t know how he sees certain position groups as they are currently comprised. One of those positions is quarterback. We�ve seen great, bad and ugly over the years from Andy Dalton, and he�s coming off of a season in which he ended the year with an injury�his second in four seasons. Still, Dalton has played under a coach with a defensive background, as well as four coordinators in eight seasons. Taylor and new offensive coordinator Brian Callahan just might provide the stability Dalton needs for a 2019 renaissance. Dwayne Haskins is one of the most intriguing players in this year�s draft. With just one year of college experience, albeit incredibly productive experience, scouts are both drooling over skill set and questioning his NFL ceiling. There have been rumblings that the Giants could grab him as high as No. 6 overall, but now he may be readily available when the Bengals go on the clock at No. 11. Might he be too goo to pass up at that spot for Cincinnati and their new regime?Why the pick makes sense:For all of the good he has done for the Bengals over the past eight seasons, Andy Dalton is 0-4 as a starter in the postseason. Haskins has played well in many of the biggest games last year. In six of the biggest contests of the year (Washington, TCU, Michigan State, Michigan, Penn State Tyler Boyd Jersey , and Northwestern), which includes the Rose Bowl, he threw 23 touchdowns against just three interceptions. Cincinnati may have too good of a roster to �tank� and get the necessary picks needed to grab a Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, or Trevor Lawrence in the next couple of drafts. If the board falls a certain way�many defensive linemen and at least one linebacker gone�Haskins could very well provide immense draft value at No. 10 overall. Haskins is Pro Football Focus� No. 10 player in the class and he�s 12th on CBS Sports� list.He spearheaded a team with nearly 5,000 passing yards, along with 50 touchdown passes, a 70 percent completion percentage and 174.1 rating. All of these areas led to 13 wins in 2018 under Haskins. Haskins can navigate the pocket pretty well, creating things from plays that have broken down. Regardless of which young quarterback the Bengals take, there is surrounding skill position talent to aid them. This is especially true if Cincinnati extends A.J. Green and/or Tyler Boyd, which seems relatively likely. Haskins is accustomed to playing in bad weather through the BIG 10. Whether it was in his home stadium, or the many outdoor venues throughout the conference, the former Buckeye threw well in tough elements. If he lands in Cincinnati, this will be key to the yearly schedule. While the Bengals are a patient franchise Nick Vigil Jersey , Taylor hasn�t built up the �trust equity� that Lewis had with ownership. Thus, his leash could be short and Taylor will need to find �his guy� sooner, rather than later. If Haskins falls into their laps, the team would be hard-pressed to say no. Why the pick doesn�t make sense:The best route, at least for the immediate future, might be to see what Dalton can do in what should be an innovative system from Taylor.Recent rumors, which run unfoundedly rampant this time of year, have fans and the media higher on Haskins than NFL teams. The �one-year wonder� aspect. Last time the Bengals selected a quarterback with that lack of experience for a franchise player designation, Akili Smith set the team back for nearly half a decade. While there is definite talent at the position this year, it�s still one of the weaker classes in recent memory. Might the Bengals be better served to engage in a �bridge year� with Dalton in 2019 and get a premium player at the position in deeper 2020 and 2021 classes?If you take Hall of Fame executive Gil Brandt�s word with any stock, he has Haskins as his 25th-best player in the class. How much of Haskins� success is predicated on immense surrounding talent with the Buckeyes?He�s not overly-nimble, as evidenced by his 5.04 time in the 40-yard dash. So, while he was able to buy time in the pocket in college, his escapability might be limited with superior athletes in the NFL.Zac Taylor may have more time to right the Bengals� ship than we�re giving him credit for Andy Dalton Jersey , so he shouldn�t have to �settle� for a quarterback this year, if he isn�t overly-enamored with one. With his one year of college ball, he may need a year or two to sit and learn the pro game.While Haskins would be a bit of a surprise at No. 11, it would show a true changing of the guard in Cincinnati. He probably wouldn�t be a guy who they would rely upon as an immediate starter, but if he pans out, he could be one of the more effective passers in the league for years. It�s a big if, though, because Haskins is a bit of a boom-or-bust player. What would you think about the Bengals drafting Dwayne Haskins at No. 11?
