Jungletiger Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Bengal Morning Takes: Impressive offense?August, 19, 2014Aug 198:00AM ETBy Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- OK, it's only Aug. 19 and there still has yet to be a single down of regular-season football to be played.But the Cincinnati Bengals have to be feeling good about their first-team offense's impressive performance to this point in the preseason, right? While you won't hear any of the coaches publicly acknowledge it, there are some people around the team who have taken note and are impressed with what they've seen so far. Namely, it's the players. To this point in the preseason, they believe members of the starting group have paid the right amount of attention to the finer details of their individual positions, and they think the chemistry that comes along with now four straight seasons of honed relationships has helped the timing and execution of new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's scheme.The starting offense was so good Saturday night against Rex Ryan's always strong first-team Jets' defense that quarterback Andy Dalton stood behind a clean pocket for most of his 17 plays, passing a flawless 8-for-8 and connecting with his receivers for 144 yards and a touchdown. He had a perfect passer rating of 158.3, and seemed as poised as he has ever been. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/10180/bengals-andy-dalton-hue-jackson-offense-impressive-morning-takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
