After a pair of tough losses and some close wins that caused a lot of stress inside and out of Paul Brown Stadium http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/randy-bullock-jersey , the Bengals finally looked to be in control of a game this weekend. That is of course until the Buccaneers found a bit of magic offensively. A bit of Fitz-magic. After rookie safety Jessie Bates returned Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston’s fourth interception for a touchdown, the visiting team benched him in favor of former Bengal and Harvard Crimson (anyone’s guess which he brings up more often at dinner parties) Ryan Fitzpatrick.The Buccaneers offense took off and quickly cut down the Bengals 18-point lead. Although the Bengals held on for the win, the defensive play has been alarming to say the least. “We’ve got to be truthful about the situation,” cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said post game. “We gave up 500 yards. It’s a win, but it’s not a great win.” When asked about giving up this kind of yardage in two straight weeks Kirkpatrick said, “It’s something we’ve got to fix.” Yards don’t determine winners and losers in the NFL. Unfortunately the Bengals have given up too many points defensively as well. They rank near the bottom of the league in this statistic and have given up 29 points per game. The differentiating factor early in the game was turnovers. The Buccaneers were able to get movement on the Bengals early in the game, but it was the turnovers that kept them mostly off the scoreboard. Winston was all over the place and a created a lot of turnover opportunities for the Bengals. Fitzpatrick’s magic was simply not being careless with the football. The Bengals go into their by week with an obvious area that needs to be improved upon and Kirkpatrick knows it. “Today was a ‘Whew.’ One of those games. But it ain’t pretty. I didn’t like it. I’m not satisfied with it. At the end of the day http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/mark-walton-jersey , we can do better. I know we can.”Kirkpatrick has his head high, but knows the unit has a lot of work to do before they play the NFL’s all-time leading passer Drew Brees and the Saints in two weeks. “I wasn’t pleased with how we played in the second half and gave up (500) yards. But at the end of the day, that’s my game (to be positive). That’s how I approach it. I try to flush everything out and reset every week. No matter what the outcome was this week, I’m going to be the same person next week.”Bengals still looking to add cornerbacks after announcing 53-man roster The Cincinnati Bengals set their 53-man roster on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean they have closed the door on other possible additions. A number of positions are still being scrutinized as the team examines their Injured/Reserve options, as well as the waiver wire. Even though the team has three first round picks at the position, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis noted that the club is keeping a particularly close eye on the cornerback position and guys who will be coming across the wire. Former Detroit Lions corner http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/hardy-nickerson-jersey , DeShawn Shead is an interesting name out there, as is David Amerson (formerly of Kansas City), but there are others. But, that isn’t the only route the Bengals could take at the position. KeiVarae Russell, a guy the Bengals have had on the roster since 2016, was released on Saturday. Even so, the Bengals might try and find a way to get him back to Cincinnati. In 13 games played with the Bengals http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/germaine-pratt-jersey , Russell has racked up 10 total tackles and an interception. He was a former third round pick by the Chiefs in 2016, but was released that same offseason before the Bengals scooped him off the waiver wire ahead of Week 1.Russell wasn’t the only corner on the Bengals’ chopping block, though. Swingman defensive back, Josh Shaw, was also released, leaving more need for talent and experience in the group. If Shaw clears waivers, he’ll revert to IR as he is injured.Here is how the Bengals’ cornerback group is currently comprised:Dre KirkpatrickDarqueze DennardWilliam Jackson IIIDarius PhillipsTony McRaeDavontae HarrisHarris is a likely candidate to move to IR as he has been hurt for much of the preseason.Don’t be surprised if the Bengals make a move here Joe Mixon Jersey Limited , be it with a new face or a familiar one. As we said, this incarnation of the final roster might not be so “final”. « http://usahealthdiet.com/abrielle-ageless-face-cream/Riley Ridley Jersey Limited » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
