Trey Hendrickson Update

AND he has help coming from his right!!

Yep, if Logan filled the hole on the outside shoulder of the Guard and drove the RB inside to his help it could of been a nice stop instead of a monster run.

While all that holds, Logan has been around way too long to allow the G to block him out of the play so easily. If he's going to be the last line of defense because someone else isn't playing their assignment properly, he could have still cleaned it up. It almost looked like a desperation dive inside to try and "make a play" when the play was right in front of him the whole time.

Here is the Will Shipley run play you are discussing.

Who’s that guy that said the Bengals are gonna have a top defense?? LMAO pic.twitter.com/pKRsbaUxhZ

You see TJ Slayton slant thr wrong direction freeing up the OL to easily climb to the LBs. The MIKE (Wilson) filled a gap fast but Demetrius read it kinda slow and got walled off then tried to ghost hands and play around thr climbing OL instead of through him.

Whole lotta wtf moments there. 

I'm still blaming Logan the most. Vet, had the play in front of him and made the Gs block eeeaaaasyyy.

After you said that it does look to be mostly on Slayton there. His move really blew up the whole defensive front for the Bengals. Took Jenkins out of the play while freeing up OL to block the linebackers.

Also I shouldn't even mention it because its preseason and it doesnt matter but they seemed to be calling a really tight game on the Bengals. But I believe it was one of Brownings first drives it ended on an incomplete pass to Jones but the replay looked like the DB was doing karate on him before the ball got there. Just popped in my head today when thinking about some of the Bengals bone head penalties. But better now than the regular season.

As mentioned in the rep comment, you're 100% bang on: you want to see guys' technique and leverage indeed.

As for the bolded, it was a sloppy game called by the refs, on both sides. Vinovich keeps getting marquee games and situations, but he's just as bad as the worst refs of the past decade.

Actually he mentioned he was still committed to 3 year full guarantees  in a comment this week and that he would not play this year without an agreement. There has been few reported Bengals have moved up their offer, so I would say it seems tre is more entrenched with his position

What should have happened was Kris Jenkins plays the backside A Gap (Cutback lane). TJ Slaton would have flowed play side taking on the Center, who should have never been on the second level, filing the playside A gap with Logan Wilson filling the playside B Gap letting Knight flow from his WILL unblocked. The LE (Myles Murphy) was holding the C Gap (bounce lane). 


Really seems like it was just a communications error.

Looks like they were trying to do an inside stunt with Slayton and Jenkins and ran into each other. I can think of no other reason they both cut so hard

Yeah, never liked the way Vinovich refs. That was a blatant PI by the Eagles DB on Chuck.

Well said, it was pretty much the front 7 besides Murphy that screwed up.

TY for the experts weighing in. It looks like we had comminication and other errors on the big run. The good news is this is fixable. I also saw Zac said they decided to play vanilla to not give up that they will be doing week 1. He said as a result he knew it would create 1 on 1 situations and our guys lost too many 1 on 1's.

I took that as Golden has a plan and is working on that plan in practice so hopefully that means week 1 the Browns have no idea what defense Golden will call on any given play.

As for Zac's comments it seemed the same guys were getting beat 1 on 1 and that was Turner and Ivey the worst, otheres as well. I was disappointed with the defense and backup offense overall, but it is a long year so may take time to see improvements.

I thought Jenkins played very well, other said no, what did I miss?

Jenkins and Fairchild have been getting the most praise outside of Burrow and the top skill players for theyre play last night. Jenkins did flash a bit and the breakdowns of Fairchild have been good.

Im still high on Turner and think/hope his game will steadily improve.

The Patriots once traded Richard Seymour in his prime, and that was with Tom Brady who usually played at a discount. I'm not saying what they should or shouldn't do. I love Trey. Some guys on here think he's a one trick pony or downplay him as a player. I don't.

I just like to know all the facts and we don't. I also know we're going to lose some guys when the passing game has record amounts of cash flowing towards it.

Hopefully that won't be Trey, but we'll have to wait and see.
