Bengals @ Redskins: Lets Break it Down

Gresham is a solid and huge TE going against our smaller LBs.

BenJarvis Green-Ellis aka the Lawfirm, has never fumbled in the NFL and is a good goal line back who always seems to get TDs even when the Defense is expecting it.

Andy Daltons a good QB. Their defense has some hard hitters at LB and they have one of the best DTs in the league in Geno Atkins. RG3, I don't see scrambling out of that pocket much. Their secondary has some names in it with Leon Hall and Clements as well as pacman and Terrence Newman. Reggie Nelson and Taylor Mays love to lay big hits on WRs.

I see AJ getting 2 TDs, that Little Hawkins guy causing our defense more slot fits like amendola last week, Gresham and the lawfirm getting touchdowns as well.

Hmmm. I don't know. It will be closer than this. Basically what you're saying is that the Redskins defense don't match up well with the Bengals play makers. First things first is the Redskins defense getting pressure on Andy Dalton. Dalton so far has shown he's a legitimate NFL QB. The Redskins defense and Haslett need to go back to the basics, and that's blitzing guys and having solid coverages down field, much like they were able to do to Drew Brees and the Saints offense and not play that soft zone garbage that allowed one wide receiver to catch 15 fluke passes for 160 fluke yards.

The Bengals might have heavy hitters on defense, but so do the Redskins. I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle Shanahan brings the drama with Brandon Banks going deep this week against that Bengals secondary. Terrance Newman is definitely old and slowing, and our wide receivers like Morgan and Garcon are able to get open on him.

I think you may be forgetting that we just lost two huge pieces of our defense. Keep in mind we don't have orakpo and carriker the rest of the season...

No, I'm not forgetting that fact at all. But Rob Jackson or Chris Wilson while not on Orakpo's level, are solid fill-ins. Orakpo and Carrkier will be missed but the Redskins do have solid depth.
