2022 Season | Week 2 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Bengals @ Cowboys | 9/18/2022

[Cotton]

You would think he could have had a couple more as badly as he owned Collins.

He may have not gotten the actual sacks but his disruption caused more than just the 2 sacks on the stat sheet.

Barr was really good, the 15 yarder on the first drive stung but after that he made a bunch of plays including a clutch TFL on a TE screen around midfield that kind of torpedoed that drive.

Once he's settled in he's probably going to be our best LB.

He got the snaps yesterday.

Not downplaying his performance, but when you see ownage like that, it does not always translate onto the stat sheet.

can you believe the guy is actually improving? He is a freak, y'all.

And just remember that the Bengals OT's are probably one of the top 5 or so tandems that we'll face this year.

Tampa is a clear number one, then you have the Eagles, Lions, Packers as a step above the Bengals, and then maybe the Texans or Jaguars who are about even.

So you could argue that the opportunities for Parsons are about to start opening up even more.

 

[Simpleton]

Notice Smith 1-on-1 with Hendrickson. Schultz's alignment helps to widen Hendrickson but he doesn't actually make any contact with him, Smith is out there on his own and handles him well.

The funny thing is that the technique isn't even finetuned at all, he's kind of just playing on instinct and natural ability. Once that improves he's going to be putting people to sleep like Tyron.

Also notice Farniok being abused, which is why I'd love to see Peters at LG.

I was underwhelmed with Vander Esch though.

I thought he played pretty good week 1 but yesterday was not so good.

Shouldn’t shock anyone.

This is the sort of technique I was talking about last year that he hadn't fully honed yet.

He's more or less already beaten Collins to the inside but he guarantees it by using his outside arm to club at the inside arm of Collins, combined with a light swim to clear his entire frame and give himself a free run at the QB.

He still has room for improvement though and like I've said a few times, I think he's going to end up being better than Ware and potentially in the pantheon of the greatest defensive players of all time (LT, White, Donald, Sanders, Deacon, Lewis, etc.).

He has already wrecked more games in his first 20 contests than Ware did his whole time in Dallas.

dont look now, but Parsons dominance helps out guys like Dorance.

 

[Texas Ace]

Dak just doesn’t throw the sideline deep ball well at all.

No he does not and I made the very same point way back when Dez was still here.

Dez still had a lot left in the tank in both 2016 and 2017 but what he did best was stuff Dak was weakest at.

So many of those jump balls were so under thrown and that was what Romo excelled at -- getting that ball high and at the far shoulder.

Gonna be hilarious when Dorance puts up about 10 sacks this year and Gregory is sitting on his standard 5-6.
