Bengals (0-3) Preseason: Falcons 24 - Bengals 19

As far as it just being preseason....the Colts went 0-5 last preseason, had the worst run defense in the league for most of the season and we all know how that turned out. The Bengals defense looks good in spurts. But the thing that worries me is....sometimes its a long time in between spurts. Its like some of us have been saying on here all along....when the D-line was able to get some penetration, they disrupted the Falcons offense with hurries, deflected passes and a sack here and there. But when they didn't get a push up front, we made Joey Harrington look like Dan Marino. Any NFL QB will pick you apart if given time.

Agreed with everything, and I'll add that I believe all of the defensive backs were playing too far off the line in man-to-man and giving them to much cushion. In zone, they were dropping back too deep and letting receivers catch balls underneath them, most of the time they'd catch the ball past the first down marker.
