The Bengals' plan for Clausen

From ESPN Insider:

Upon Jimmy Clausen being named starting QB for the Carolina Panthers as they get set to face the Cincinnati Bengals, we opined that Bengals CBs Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall would be licking their chops, waiting for errant passes to come their way Sunday.

As we're now closer to kickoff, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com has added some additional analysis of how the Bengals might welcome Clausen to the league. "If the Bengals don't blitz the living daylights out of Clausen," Hobson writes, "they'll at least give him different looks and try to bait him into some throws."

To counteract this, the Panthers may use additional blockers and roll Clausen out in order to give him a little more leeway. It's also very likely that the Panthers will rely heavily on the ground game to keep Clausen out of third-and-long situations, where he could try and force matters.

- Tim Kavanagh

I hope they leave the WRs in single coverage, we roll out running backs, and Clausen checks down a lot if they want to blitz all day.

I read an article about how Mike Zimmer (the bengals defensive coordinator) had prepped his defense with complex packages agaisnt the Patriots.

This strategy was a failure in his mind and the stat book.

The following week against Baltimore they dumbed down their coverages for Ravens so the players could just rely on speed and not think too much.

That being said I see its more likely they try and blitz the piss outta Jimmy

while doubling up on smith. If they go that route then Gettis,Lafell,Rosario,and King should have the ball thrown their way quite a bit...lets hope they have their sticky gloves on today

      Is J-Stew a team propagandist?

      He has said many times hes a diehard Panther fan. Being a former player he is going to be very pro player. I don't think its a conspiracy but just someone close to the individuals.

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
