5 Bengals to watch against the Steelers The rivalry between the Bengals and the Steelers has reached a level of notoriety that encapsulates the entire nation when they play. The list of names associated in events that have transpired in recent games seems to increase every time they go up against one another. Vontaze Burfict Darqueze Dennard Jersey , JuJu Smith-Schuster, Ryan Shazier, Joe Mixon, Vince Williams, Bud Dupree are just a few that make up the list.But looking past those names, this game features plenty of Bengals that simply need to play well regardless of the toxicity in-between plays. Here are the five that we’ll have our eyes on.Mason SchreckTight end Tyler Eifert was placed on injured reserve last week after he broke his ankle in Atlanta in Week 4, and last week’s game against the Dolphins was the beginning of the offense’s time without him. Eifert’s lack of durability was one of the reasons Schreck was kept on the roster, along with the playmaking ability he displayed in the preseason. He was counted on as a run blocker against the Dolphins last week, and his role may be expanded this week against Pittsburgh.Fellow tight end Tyler Kroft was seen in a walking boot earlier this week and has not practiced since injuring his foot against Miami. His absence would boost Schreck to the No. 2 tight end spot behind starter C.J. Uzomah, and he may even see a target or two come his way against the Steelers. His ability as a run blocker will definitely be counted again as the Bengals hope to run through running back Joe Mixon.Cordy GlennSomething that’s not really being talked about since the Bengals 2-0 start is Glenn’s struggles in pass protection. In the last three weeks, the Bengals left tackle has given up an obscene number of pressures against weak-side edge rushers. The common theme in his endeavors has been dealing with speed rushers, and as it just so happens Randy Bullock Jersey White , the Steelers primary pass rusher from the right edge has speed as his main asset.Dupree made the news this week for his comments about his misunderstanding regarding Ryan Shazier’s injury he suffered against the Steelers. On the field this year, he’s been one of the Steelers three-best pass rushers and has three sacks on the year so far. He was kept quiet against Atlanta last week, but if Glenn’s struggles in pass protection persist, he could have a long day dealing with Dupree. Trey HopkinsThe unsung hero in last year’s home game against Pittsburgh was Hopkins and his exceptional day at right guard. He plowed open holes for Mixon and kept the Bengals offense on track to score 17 points in the first half. Obviously that game changed dramatically towards the end, but it was Hopkins’ best game of last year.Now, Hopkins is starting at center for the injured Billy Price, and this could be the last game he ends up starting as Price could return next week against the Chiefs. Just like how Schreck is going to be relied on sealing off the edge for outside runs, Hopkins will have a busy day dealing with the ever-pesky Steelers defensive interior on inside runs. This will be a statement game for the fifth-year player as his starting spot will likely return to the rookie Price soon afterwords.Andrew BillingsDefensive end Michael Johnson has gotten all the publicity for his pick-six against the Dolphins, but Billings was just as important as Johnson was on that fateful play. It was good timing for the third-year nose tackle because up until that point, he’s had a relatively quiet start to the season after a promising preseason.Billings will need tp play his best against the Steelers interior trio of Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey and David DeCastro. The three have helped pave the way for running back James Conner to a strong — but inconsistent — start. Billings has to continuing being the plug in the middle of the Bengals front four if they want to avoid getting smacked in the face once more to Pittsburgh’s running game.Dre KirkpatrickAlong with cornerback William Jackson, Kirkpatrick played admirably well against the Dolphins Womens Preston Brown Jersey , allowing zero catches on three targets. But Kirkpatrick is usually victimized when the Steelers are on the other side of the ball, thankfully Le’Veon Bell isn’t going to stiff arm him to the ground this time around.The Steelers like to move around their receivers just as much as the Bengals like to, so Kirkpatrick will be well acquainted with Antonio Brown and Smith-Schuster once more. This will also be Kirkpatrick and the Bengals’ first game against wide receiver James Washington, who is basically the Steelers’ version of John Ross in their offense. Pittsburgh’s passing game is still nothing to be reckoned with, even with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger playing at an inconsistent level. Expect Kirkpatrick to be targeted a lot more than he has been over the past couple of weeks. It’s been a tale of two seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals through their first seven contests. The past two losses have been particularly rough, for polar opposite reasons. Still, at 4-3, they are alive in the division and AFC playoff picture. However, if they are to make a run to turn things around from two straight losing seasons, they will need to fix their focus on a number of areas on the team. Here are a few friendly suggestions to Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis. Don’t be afraid to make lineup changes and/or play other young players:There are facets to the Bengals’ style of play that have been effective this year, but others that have been not so great. The easiest place to look is at the right side of the offensive line. After letting up six more pressures on Sunday night, guard Alex Redmond is on pace to allow 73 this year. The most given up by any guard last season was 44. Can Christian Westerman really be that much worse of an option Womens Trey Hopkins Jersey , or is it simply something that points back to Lewis’ “practice the right way” mantra? Additionally, Bobby Hart seems to be good for killing about 1-2 drives a game with some sort of penalty or other issue. There’s no doubt that the return of Billy Price will give the coaches some things to think about. Trey Hopkins hasn’t been outstanding at center, but he’s been capable, which is saying something because right guard is his primary position. Might a Price/Hopkins lineup help things?Things haven’t been much better on the defensive line, either. Some of the better performances and big plays up front have come from heavy rotations of guys like Sam Hubbard, Jordan Willis and Carl Lawson. However, Michael Johnson is still receiving more snaps than some of these youngsters and that’s tough to see. This is especially true, given the fact that he had some missed tackles on Kareem Hunt on Sunday night. We don’t like to individually point out certain players, especially a great guy like Johnson, but similar issues keep recurring. And, at times when certain seasons have been lost under Lewis and he finally decided to give some young guys more chances, it’s led to some improbable wins. Feed Joe Mixon at least 25 times a game:Mixon was averaging a whopping 5.8 yards per carry against the Steelers and is currently at 4.6 on the year. It’s a big jump from his 3.5 average in 2017 Joe Mixon Jersey White , and points to at some improvement up front on the offensive line, as well as his increased comfort level in the scheme. He only had a 3.8 yard average against the Chiefs, but some gashing runs were still available. Mixon has also improved a bit as a receiver this season, making some difficult catches. Currently, Mixon is averaging 20 touches per contest (16.8 rushes, 3.2 catches). With the injuries piling up at the pass-catching positions (Tyler Eifert, Tyler Kroft, John Ross, Giovani Bernard), and a lack of growth shown from Cody Core and Josh Malone, the need to rely on the run a bit more should be a priority. It will take some heat off of Andy Dalton and potentially keep the offense in more manageable third down situations. Look for outside help before the trade deadline:This one very well may be a pipe dream, given the conservative nature of this franchise Womens Darqueze Dennard Jersey , but it’s something definitely worth exploring. The Arizona Cardinals reportedly have a trio of talented defensive players on the trading block in Patrick Peterson, Haason Reddick and Deone Bucannon, which could immediately help Cincinnati’s beleaguered defensive unit. Given who owner Mike Brown is and this team’s reluctance to spend big-time money on outside help, Peterson isn’t a reality. However, Reddick is on the second year of a manageable rookie deal, while Bucannon could potentially help the ever-lingering problem of covering tight ends. That’s just scratching the surface of what’s out there, though. Help because of injuries (tight end) or ineffectiveness at certain positions (offensive line) seems to be needed in a big way. They definitely can make a move to improve their team down the stretch. It’s really about organizational attitude here. If you really think you’re very close this year and one or two additions can push you back into being atop the AFC North, you do it. However, seeing as how that’s been the perception about the team the past few seasons when free agency rolls around and Cincinnati remains relatively quiet on that front, we aren’t expecting much on this front—even it is an effective strategy.
