Preseason: Arizona Cardinals @ Cinncinati Bengals game day thread. 8/12/22

Streveler threw 2 TDs tonight and led the Jets to win coming from behind. Wow.

Good for him. I have nothing against the guy.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Zach Wilson with a non contact knee injury... No issues with KM not playing.

In the same play, Jordan Davis destroyed a double team and chased Willson all the way. Just a freak athlete.

 

[Garthshort]

At least we don't have to worry about Chris Streveler taking up a roster space this year.

CS just won their game for the Jets over the Eagles. Took his team down the field in the final minute. A couple of good runs and a winning pass from about the ten (I'm guessing). A real happy guy according to the TV guys.

 

[Garthshort]

SF announcers, doing their game against GB, begging the Jets to trade for Jimmy G.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Dimukeje might be the wrong odd man out that we look back on and say "why did we cut that guy?"

 

[FB94]

Thought 54 Smith played good at center.

He should be on the field before Cameron Thomas at this point. He had a good preseason last year, got some plays in the regular season. He is faster and stronger.

Cameron Thomas should be developing to rotate with Zach Allen and JJ Watt. Shouldn't even be considered at OLB.

Dortch is a baller

I said last season they should play Dortch more. He looked good his first game then it seemed like they quit playing him.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

AI has 4 catches? Wow. Need to trade him while he's hot.

It was said the other day that Isabella has yet to drop a pass during training camp.

 

[unseenaz]

how nice was that Dortch catch near the sidelines? wow

 

[Jetstream Green]

I will say this, Kliff knows QBs and can coach them... Kyler is unique, an odd bird loaded with talent, and say what you want, but I do not think any other staff could have fair better with Kyler so far

Yeah Guarantano and McSorely look far better than I expected.

The bengals have Kwame Lassiter Part Deux?!

of couse we had the tale of two seasons last year. Obviously in september or october we would have destroyed the bungals.... but in december they would have destroyed us.

but it goes to show.... stay healthy, play consistent, and get a little luck...and instead of having a legendary collapse in the wc round ....maybe your playing in the super bowl.

we really were that close fellas.....

I’d like to agree with this assessment, I so would, but: 1) Joe Burrow studies film and 2) KK (enough said, eh?).

 

[BritCard]

Some quick observations

Dortch is a lock. Andy is toast.

Hayes looks like a player at Guard. Arms like a gorilla.

Leccy Smith looked good at C.

McSorley is good depth. Guarantano looks like a good find for the PS.

Team discipline was much better. Very few penalties.

Nice game overall.

AI should have had that

Hit him right in the hands

Despite the PI he should’ve caught that but he couldn’t track the ball at all. Yuck.

 

[Krangodnzr]

He should be on the field before Cameron Thomas at this point. He had a good preseason last year, got some plays in the regular season. He is faster and stronger.

He showed some good burst and he looks stout. I wouldn't be shocked to see him become a solid player. Smart guy (Duke) and solid athlete.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Despite the PI he should’ve caught that but he couldn’t track the ball at all. Yuck.

He doesn't use his hands either

 

[Garthshort]

Just a PS game, so we only have 10 pages. But, if Arizona had cooperated and committed more penalties, I'm sure we would have had 20 pages.

 

[PACardsFan]

The DL played with far more energy than last year. I attribute that to coaching. For me, we made a big upgrade in DL coaching. Isabella will never get any credit, and that’s warranted, but if McSorley didn’t have a noodle arm, Isabella could have had a couple of long plays. And Dortch is legit. Lastly, we played with far discipline that expected for a preseason game.

 

[DVontel]

It’s clear that Dortch is better than Isabella, but I also think he’s better than Wesley. I thought that before last night’s game, too.

I guess they will keep Wesley cause of his length but Dortch is the better player, gritty dynamic quick and has reliable hands
We have a good depth so I don't know how much snaps Dortch can have but he is also a Kr Pr
Imo the depth should be
Hopkins
Brown
Moore
Green
Dortch
Wesley
Curious to know if Moore will be used more down the field and in slant routes or basically like an extra rb catching 95% of his passes in the backfield which it probably means wasting his talent

 

[PACardsFan]

It’s clear that Dortch is better than Isabella, but I also think he’s better than Wesley. I thought that before last night’s game, too.

Dortch is a monster & definitely better than Wesley. He also brings the explosiveness that Rondale possesses. And with Moore’s injury history concerns, Dortch becomes a great insurance policy. His ability to return punts also frees up Rondale to strictly be a WR threat.
