Reasons you should step away from the ledge:

The OL learning new blocking assignments, give them more than 1 quarter of live play (THAT DOESN'T COUNT) to get it right.

Starting RT (As bad as he was last year) was not starting

Starting RG/C missed time in training camp, so they're playing catch up

Bengals defense should have known pretty much every single play that was coming, as the Sparano said explicitly, this would be vanilla. That means running out of runs sets, and passing out of pass sets.

The "chunk yardage" off of our 1st defense were on underneath plays, which in all likelihood were not schemed for specifically as, well, none of it was schemed.

It's the first ****ing game of the preseason, chill out.

Reasons you should stay on the ledge or jump:

You enjoy looking down great distances

There is no room for optimists on this board! LOL You wrote a great post and I agree with you! I have watched the game twice and still think that AUSTIN HOWARD was pretty decent. Most pressure came up the gut. Conner did zilch! The TEs stunk in pass blocking!
