I can deal with the underdog role. This will be my first time watching the Cincy defense, so I am curious to see how we match up.
they shoot up the A and B gaps with so much aggression and try to finish QBs off on the edge the key to this game is Cumberland. I dont think they can cover Tight Ends and he should have a big game
Cincy defense is stout. They shut down 3 Superbowl winning QB's this year. But I think they will overlook the Jets after seeing Geno on the helm since they already beat Rapist, Rodgers and Brady. If they think this game is a cake walk, they are in for a surprise. Jets are underdogs and rightfully so. But it doesn't mean we won't pull a surprise and come back with a win.
with illoka, mays and nelson, for them not to be able to cover tight ends is a joke. those guys are very athletic players.
I think there are two major keys to this game. The outcome will depend heavily on how well Cromartie can contain AJ Green on defense. Green is, I think, easily a top 5 receiver who's starting to get into his groove. Cromartie has been decent at best so far this season, but he shows flashes of coming on when he wants to. Lets hope tomorrow he decides to show up. The rest of the defense I'm actually not concerned with because I'm LOVING the front 7 play. On offense the fact that they're in Cincy doesn't bother me. Geno went into a hostile Georgia Dome against the Falcons and looked completely cool, calm, and collect as he got us the win, but I think the key here will be the receivers making plays. I know it sounds obvious, but if Nelson, Kerley, and Cumberland can make the plays they made against the Patsies and more (Cumberland's dropped TD in the end zone. UGH!) then I think we can win this game. I can see the defense holding them to 17 points and us putting up 24 points against them with Geno making some good plays yet again. Jets 24 Bengals 17 Let's do this!!!!
athleticism has nothing to do with it Mays is a nickel LB for them, Nelson plays deep safety most of the time Lloka is athletic but he's nothing special also we should look to isolate their LBs on our TEs
