Recapping the Bengals’ defensive efficiency towards the Packers through the All-22 movie

The Bengals misplaced their fourth straight sport on Sunday. This time, they had been defeated by the Inexperienced Bay Packers 27-18. The protection had surrendered simply 10 factors via the primary half. They surrendered 17 factors alone within the fourth quarter.

Barrett Carter performed 100% of the snaps on the defensive facet of the ball for Cincinnati this week. The rookie had some ups and downs all through the sport.

He flashed a few of his athleticism by being lively within the run sport. He made a couple of good run stops early on.

Carter had his share of struggles for the protection as the sport went on. He missed some tackles out in house. Additionally, he didn’t acknowledge Josh Jacobs out of the backfield. That play led to the Packers’ first landing of the sport. Demetrius Knight Jr. had simply as many struggles in the course of the second half at linebacker.

The star for the protection on the day was indubitably Juan Drago “DJ” Turner. He was credited with 5 passes defensed. One in every of which led to a Bengals interception by Geno Stone.

Joseph Ossai is one other participant who I believed flashed fairly a couple of instances. He made some spectacular performs that helped get the Bengals off the sphere. He’s additionally the final word hype man for when his teammates make a giant play, as evidenced by his response to the Geno Stone hit.

This was the worst sport I’ve ever seen from Jordan Battle. He missed a number of tackles. He typically performs too excessive or takes poor angles in pursuit. The Bengals want higher play out of him if they’ll have an opportunity to beat Pittsburgh this week.

Battle was additionally a part of giving up the reception late within the sport that would have given the Bengals an opportunity to get the offense again on the sphere. They had been solely down 24-18 at the moment. Battle was unable to stick with Matthew Golden in protection after it appeared Cam Taylor-Britt handed him off to him.

The Packers in the end kicked a discipline purpose and gained the sport by 9.

One other week the place solely one of many offense or protection can look competent at a time. Dealing with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a brief week, that should change. In any other case, the Bengals will fall to 2-5 on the season.
