Ties are unsettling, but our offense was great and it's starts upfront

Seriously...as bad as Bell and Chandler have played this year, this was probably one of the best efforts of their careers.  

 

Also, the interior when Velasco moved to LG to replace Amini excelled.  Velasco is nice to have and Turner has been steadily improving.  Still have a ways to go with run blocking but today was easily their best performance of the year.  This Cinci defense is no slouch.  

 

Cam was able to be Cam today and it was a delight to watch.  I gotta give the offense its due.  

 

Cheers to the big uglies.

The OL was still not very good.  The offense did well in spite of them not because of them.

 

Cam had a TON of time during the game today.  Like I said the run blocking is still poor but they did what they had to do from the pass blocking side of things.  Velasco is soilid to have.  Nothing special but solid and given our situation, he has helped this OL out.

OL definitely improved when Amini went out.  Might be time to just admit he's a bust and move on.

 

Velasco has more experience and Amini is coming off an ACL tear.  Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't 100%.  I'd agree benching him might be a good idea though...at least to get him healthy or to get his head in the game.

I agree pass blocking was decent.  Blitz pickup has improved but still isn't good.

 

Run blocking is terrible.

Cam had all day to throw the ball and we had 147 rushing yards. If our defense wasnt so pathetic, we win that game

 

Defense are the biggest losers for sure.  147 rushing yards is misleading as Cam was picking them up by running away from our line that can't block for ten yard gains.

This.  We lost this game on defense and special teams.  When you score 37 points and you're supposed to be a defensive oriented team, you should win the game every single time.

Can't polish a turd.

 

All things considered, they played pretty well. Especially against a defense supposedly better than the Steelers and Ravens. And on the road...

IMO this was the best called game so far this season by Shula. Still not good enough, and want him to get more creative, but at least he wasn't calling rund plays just to call them. Afraid it will get back to more running plays when deangelo and stewart comes back

That was on Mythbusters.  Turns out you can polish a turd.  It will even have very impressive luster.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By Icege · Posted

      From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
