All 330# of 95 flattening Burreaux sounds good to me along with 9 other sacks from the rest of our D roster.

I hope the defense scores three touchdowns by themselves. Joe B. is running into a buzz saw for his first game.
:freakout:

I agree you have to mix it up but our percentages were anything but that. See below

We only blitzed 16.6% of the time, third lowest in the NFL. Too predictable in my book. Would much rather see 25%+ unless our front four is getting consistent pressure which we did not do last year.

It will be different just based on the talent available this year. The blitz may not have time to get there with Bosa, Joseph, Jones and Ingram rushing.
Aside from that the talent, speed & depth at LB, S, CB is basically awesome. No doubt we will blitz occasionally just because we can but the DL is going to do some damage.

Hey Joe, where you going with that football in your hand?

This is sad. One of the Bengals projected starting corners, Mackenzie Alexander, just arrested for battery in Florida and in custody. Apparently left camp to go look for his father who disappeared while berry picking in Florida. And along the way, he got arrested and charged.

For the bigger picture.....

Alexander went and confronted the man who went with his father “berry picking” and supposedly left him there/came back alone. Hard to fault the kid imo.

I don't think you're going to see a ton of Blitzing. Gus is what he is. He doesn't like to blitz. He didn't in Seattle, either.

There might be a few creative looks to try and confuse the young guy.

But my guess is you won't see anything too different from normal.

I agree. That is why I think it is sad.
