Sammy Watkins expects to play this week
In addition, his task may prove to get more hard if Wright has to take over the middle linebacker position depending on the health of Bobby Wagner.
The Bengals are just 1-5 against the spread in their last six games versus the Bills overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Buffalo. It was a stunningly surgical dissection, and Rex Ryan is still having nightmares about it a month later.
The Bills should struggle to keep pace with Dalton and the Bengals.
How can this be? Bengals coach Marvin Lewis knows the record, but he plans on keeping his high-flying team grounded this week. Gilmore is a product of South Pointe HS in Rock Hill, S.C., while Green played at Summerville HS. My only concern is if they let Watkins have a big day, but in the end, they should hold the Bills offense. Nobody in the league has been throwing a better deep ball. “I’ve always had confidence in myself. We had a few plays out there, but we weren’t hitting them”. But we’ll see where we’re at.
To help prepare you a bit more for this weekend’s game in Orchard Park, we spoke to Matthew Willson of Stripe Hype to preview the contest. Dalton has the Bengals winning games. Still, that didn’t dissuade Cincinnatians from booing the quarterback in July when he made an appearance at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, which was played in Cincinnati.
Michael Bennett “lost his mind” Sunday, according to Pete Carroll, when the Seahawks defensive tackle went after Bengals QB Andy Dalton and drew a costly penalty. Lewis was the defensive coordinator and Ryan served as defensive line coach.
“I don’t think I was out of control”, he said “I just hit the quarterback”. “He’s doing a great job”. Obviously part of being a tight end is blocking, and it’s something every week I’m working to get better at.
Sammy Watkins has stood on the sidelines each of the last two weeks with a calf injury, and he’s seen exactly what everybody else is seeing.
“With Mike, I respect his game, and I hope he doesn’t stop playing like he plays”. “Just me being out there, whether I run a route, whether I catch a ball or not, I think I’m going to open a lot of things up”.
TE Tyler Eifert was prepared to team up with Jermaine Gresham to give the Bengals a one-two punch at tight end last season.
Sal Maiorana and Leo Roth preview the Bills showdown with the undefeated Bengals on October 18. He said he’s playing the best football of his career. “They are very balanced, everything they do is pretty much 50-50 run-pass keys, so when you’re going against teams like this you definitely have to stop the run and make them one-dimensional and let our guys up front rush”. Buffalo, meanwhile, is 3-2 straight up and 3-2 at the betting window. What does Willson think about this week’s game? Videos like the one below show that everyone is starting to take notice of the rookie’s phenomenal play.
