Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 So what I want to see: On D and special teams 1) Tremaine Edmunds making good decisions - not getting lured into overpursuit. If he's a tad slow because he's processing, I'm less concerned by that than him getting tricked and boxed off from the play 2) someone on DL not named Kyle Williams stepping it up 3) Minimal dumb mistakes and dumb penalties On O 1) Josh Allen making good decisions, including decisions to scamper out of bounds and SLIDE! feet first 2) WR getting open and catching anything within reach 3) the OL not getting shoved into the backfield on every play, and Dawkins not doing a clever impersonation of a subway turnstile. That's what will make me happy, not particular about any score or passing yardage target. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Allen is a rookie and WILL make mistakes. I hope fans will not be ready to throw him under the bus as soon he proves he's still a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’d like to see all the fans there early and give a standing ovation to the Bengals. Cheering them on when they take the field for the first time like we would cheer on our own team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specially hope to see Star step his game up. Not necessarily in the stat sheet, but I want to see him truly plug the middle and eat up 2 blockers to allow others make plays. I will be watching him closely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen playing smart football (exactly what you said about knowing when to slide or get out of bounds). Effectively stopping the run. Effectively running the ball. Aggressive play-calling on 2nd and short downs. (passes of 20+ yards in the air) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's how the coaches handle him that will ultimately matter. See Jackson, Hue and Kiser for a bluepring how-not-to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
